"Lower your head!"
Just as Ning Yanlan was struck in the chest by the giant grass lizard, Jiang Yuan shouted loudly. Ning Yanlan's heart trembled, and she bent down and rolled backward. At that moment, Jiang Yuan's Tang sword fell down.
With a snap, the Tang sword severed the leather rope binding Ning Yanlan's hair, even cutting off several strands of her long, drooping hair. Finally, the Tang sword cut off the giant grass lizard's forelimb, and crimson blood instantly stained the cross-section.
"Are you crazy?!" Ning Yanlan, her hair disheveled, shouted angrily at Jiang Yuan. If she hadn't reacted in time, he would have beaten her up.
Jiang Yuan ignored it; he slashed diagonally downwards, just to be safe, even if Ning Yanlan didn't lower her head. But now, the sudden attack severed one of the giant grass lizard's forelimbs.
grumble
The giant grass lizard, in pain, lunged at Jiang Yuan with its entire body, seemingly wanting to swallow him whole and let him be corroded by its venom.
Jiang Yuan didn't retreat; instead, he took a step forward with his Tang sword. The giant grass lizard never expected that its opponent would advance instead of retreat, and it burrowed directly under its body.
“Exposing your belly is foolish, just as foolish as underestimating your enemy before!” Jiang Yuan used all his strength to plunge the Tang sword into the giant grass lizard’s belly, and immediately bright red blood flowed down the blade onto his hands.
The giant grass lizard struggled frantically and managed to escape even with the Tang sword pointed at it. Jiang Yuan, like a madman, struck the giant grass lizard on the head.
With a soft thud, as the Tang sword struck the giant grass lizard's head, the lizard's massive tail, nearly 1.5 meters long, was severed off at the root, and the giant grass lizard struggled to escape.
"Trying to run? Is that even possible!" Jiang Yuan gripped his knife, ready to kill the giant grass lizard with a single blow.
"careful!"
As the knife fell, an explosive force erupted from beneath Jiang Yuan's feet.
"You die first!" Jiang Yuan was bloodthirsty, ignoring the explosion and determined to kill the giant grass lizard.
At that moment, Jiang Yuan's knife pierced the giant grass lizard's head, and an explosion occurred. The violently throbbing tail turned into wisps of blood mist, and the explosion was comparable to a hand grenade.
But Jiang Yuan did not die.
Ning Yanlan erected a shield at the last moment, but the two were still thrown five or six meters away by the self-destruction.
Thump! Jiang Yuan felt his head hit the cold ground, and his consciousness went into a daze for a moment.
Ning Yanlan was not far behind. Her spiritual shield could only block part of the explosion, so the two of them were blown away almost at the same time. She braced herself on the ground with her hands and was face to face with Jiang Yuan, who was lying down. Her loose hair made her look particularly weak with blood on her lips.
The two of them smiled at the same time when they looked at each other.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yuan's tense nerves completely relaxed.
"You owe me a life!" Ning Yanlan looked at the man beneath her, and a strange feeling stirred within her.
People who have gone through life and death together always have some inexplicable and unclear relationships with each other.
"I'll pay you back next time!" Jiang Yuan closed his eyes; he needed to calm down.
Ning Yanlan smiled, then rolled over and lay on her side, also adjusting her state.
The worst thing an ordinary person can do after suffering internal injuries is to force themselves to move. It's best to let the body gradually adapt over time. Neither of them are stupid. They were both knocked away and blown away. They are just ordinary people and don't really have that kind of strength.
"Ning Yanlan, I must say, well done!"
After lying down for a while, Jiang Yuan said something. At the last moment, he did think about Ning Yanlan helping him, but he also thought that she was more likely to escape. After all, this was comparable to the power of a grenade explosion, and going in might really kill him.
"You should praise me more than talk about these things!" Ning Yanlan breathed a sigh of relief, propping her head up with her arm and looking at the person next to her.
"She's beautiful too!" Jiang Yuan said weakly.
cluck cluck
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Yuan's stomach started growling.
"Haha!" Ning Yanlan covered her mouth and laughed.
"How about some food?" Jiang Yuan opened his eyes; his backpack was still next to the motorcycle.
"Wait, I'll go get it for you!"
Once Ning Yanlan felt better, she got up and quickly dragged his backpack over. "Uncle, what are you carrying? It's so heavy, did you bring all your belongings?"
After dragging the backpack over, Ning Yanlan complained. She unzipped it, and a pair of mantis arms, sharper than a pair of knives, appeared before her eyes. She joked, "Uncle, are you carrying two knives to help those in need? That certainly fits the bill, 'I'd go to any lengths for my brothers!'"
"I'd rather stab the Holy Spirit twice to survive!" Jiang Yuan struggled to sit up. "Officer, we can discuss the knife later. Can I have something to eat first?"
"No way!" Ning Yanlan dragged her bag behind her back. "Unless you call me 'sister'!"
"Officer, you're so happy to take advantage of me, aren't you! But I'd rather die than give in!" Jiang Yuan was so hungry that he had no temper left and gave in without any resistance.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Ning Yanlan then rummaged through her backpack, placing each piece of food in front of him. As she did so, she muttered, "Did you prepare all this food beforehand?"
"Auntie, I'm just being prepared. A person can die standing up, but not starving to death!" Jiang Yuan ate terribly.
"Come on, have some milk!" Ning Yanlan handed over another bottle of milk with a straw already inserted.
"Thanks!"
The two squatted down by the roadside and ate as if they were having a picnic. The atmosphere at that moment didn't feel like they were experiencing the apocalypse at all; it was completely out of place with their surroundings.
