"Young master, run!"
"Get out of my way!" In his anger, the masked man struck Zhu Juan away with a palm strike.
Zhu Juan was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground, hitting the back of her head where blood was flowing freely.
She coughed twice, muttering, "Young master, run, run..."
"Aunt Zhu!" Gu Xiaoran turned around, watching this scene unfold before her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing the masked man rushing straight towards him, he was so frightened that he turned around and climbed up the tree trunk beside him.
The masked man stared blankly at Gu Xiaoran's movements.
Is this kid born in the Year of the Monkey?
He chased after Gu Xiaoran, also climbing the tree.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his foot.
Lightning had caught up with him without him noticing and bit into his ankle.
The masked man was in so much pain he could barely breathe. He suddenly swung his foot, sending the lightning bolt flying far away.
He continued climbing the tree, but lightning struck his ankle once more.
And still, in the same location.
This dog is really persistent!
The masked man cried out in pain and repeated his previous actions.
This time, Lightning was kicked in the face and lay on the ground with his eyes closed.
The masked man's strength was too great; Lightning's skull nearly cracked open, and he wailed incessantly.
The masked man leaped up and climbed the tree trunk.
Gu Xiaoran had already climbed to the top of the tree, but there was nowhere left to go, and she was covered in sweat.
"Xiao Ran, quick...jump quickly, Aunt Zhu will catch you!" Under the tree, Zhu Juan was also covered in sweat, whether from pain or panic, it was hard to tell.
Gu Xiaoran's lips trembled as she glanced at Zhu Juan under the tree. Finally, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped...
Zhu Juan used all her strength to catch Gu Xiaoran as she fell.
The moment she hugged Gu Xiaoran, she took off running.
"Aunt Zhu, you're bleeding." Gu Xiaoran pouted, looking very upset.
"I'm fine, young master, you'll be fine too, you'll be fine."
Zhu Juan silently prayed, and her steps quickened even further.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a masked man's sinister voice came from behind.
"You brat, go to hell!"
The masked man swung his knife and forcefully stabbed it towards Zhu Juan's heart.
Woof woof...
At the crucial moment, lightning appeared just in time.
It leaped forward, lunged, and bit the masked man's neck once more.
The masked man was forced to stop what he was doing.
His breath hitched slightly, and his palms once again gripped the lightning's double rows of canine teeth.
Zhu Juan was rescued, her body was somewhat weak, and tears streamed down her face.
She almost died just now.
Gu Xiaoran was afraid that lightning would hurt him again, so he shouted a few times:
"Aunt Zhu, put me down, please put me down quickly."
After getting off Zhu Juan, he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it forcefully at the masked man's knees.
The masked man's legs trembled slightly, yet he continued to fight fiercely against the lightning.
"You little brat, if you throw it again, I'll kill you with one blow!"
That damn black dog, where does it get such strength?
He would die on the spot if he let go.
The lightning did not back down; it risked its life, its jaws moving with increasing ferocity.
The lightning at that moment was comparable to a vicious wolf.
No, it's even more ferocious than a wolf!
Gu Xiao then took a few steps back, searching for a suitable tool.
At this moment, he was not threatened in any way by the masked man's words.
He picked up another branch and struck the masked man hard on the back of the head.
However, due to his insufficient height, the blow only landed on the masked man's waist.
His strength was too weak; when he hit the masked man, it didn't hurt or itch at all.
At the same moment, thud... Zhu Juan, holding a stone, smashed it directly into the masked man's head...
