Chapter 200: Let's unite and destroy it!
"Oh my god! There are two!" The gossipy woman couldn't help but let out a terrified scream. The sound attracted the one that had just crawled out, and it immediately turned its head and locked onto her direction.
The gossipy woman turned to run away, but was caught by a thick, powerful tongue more than two meters long. Before she could even scream, she was pulled into its mouth.
As the chilling sound of teeth grinding bones filled the air, blood dripped from its mouth.
Everyone was terrified, and many of them began to regret their actions. When Zuo Shan first told them to run, they had all taken a chance, thinking that having two armed mercenaries protecting them meant they were safe.
To put it bluntly, it's just that they can't bear to part with the beans and wild vegetables they harvested that morning.
A middle-aged woman covered her face and huddled in a corner, silently weeping. Another person quietly approached the tent entrance, and while the pangolin was not paying attention to her, she quietly lifted the tarpaulin that had been cut open by the two mercenaries and slipped out.
However, only a few managed to slip away silently, and soon another pangolin emerged from the ground.
At this point, even though they were terrified, everyone understood that staying in the tent would only mean certain death, so they mustered their courage and rushed out.
Of course, during the escape, more than one person was swept away by the long tongue, and for a time the tent was filled with the stench of blood, cries, and screams.
Cui Bin and Song Bo were also helpless. They were not selfish or heartless, but pangolins were known for their super strong defensive capabilities, otherwise the mercenary groups from the two districts would not have been able to join forces.
At this moment, they only had two weak strength-type ability users, who would be easy prey for a pangolin.
What's more, there are still a continuous stream of pangolins emerging from the ground. If they don't run away, are they going to wait to die with everyone else?
However, escaping was not so easy. The first pangolin, having been shot and stabbed twice, harbored a deep grudge against them. With its extraordinary sense of smell, it locked onto their scent and chased after them relentlessly.
Seeing this, both men felt their hearts sink. Cui Bin, panting heavily, said, "Brother, let's split up and run. Whoever survives will be lucky!"

Zuo Shan was running with two little girls when a shrill scream came from behind, startling her. She lowered her voice and said, "Run! Run with all your might!"
Although Ding Yi and Pan Duole had heard many thrilling stories about scavenging in the wild, they had never personally witnessed so many people dying around them. The piercing cries of those people terrified them so much that their legs went weak.
When Pan Duole heard her sister's voice, she immediately felt reassured. With her sister there, she had a pillar of support, and she knew that everything would be alright as long as she stayed with her sister.
She grabbed the terrified Ding Yi and yelled, "Run with your sister! She still has baby Chen to take care of. If you dare to hold your sister back, I'll throw you away!"
Ding Yi's tears instantly welled up. She was panicked and scared, so she immediately took off running, running until her lungs felt like they were about to burst, without daring to stop for even a moment.
As the three ran, they realized they had reached a hillside with a ravine to their lower left.
Zuo Shan found a huge protruding rock halfway up the hillside. She quickly told the two little girls to hide under the rock and catch their breath.
Today, since she was with a mercenary group, she didn't bring Xiaobao and Maoli with her. Instead, she sent them to the plantation with the old steward to water the poplar saplings.
Of the family members, Xiao Bao is currently the strongest fighter. Although Le Le has a second-tier fire-type ability, he can only light a fire and throw a few fireballs at crucial moments.
To think that she could deal with a pangolin, which is known for its defensive capabilities, with such limited skills was practically a pipe dream, not to mention that she also had to take care of Ah Chen and Ding Yi.
So Zuo Shan never intended to take Lele to fight the pangolin; she only wanted to protect her little group.
They had just rested for a short while when they heard heavy footsteps coming from the entrance of the valley below. The sound was like someone was running, and a huge creature was chasing after them.
Zuo Shan's face turned pale instantly. She peeked out and saw Song Bo, panting heavily, running towards the ditch beside the hillside, followed by a giant pangolin that moved swiftly.
This was the first time she had ever seen a mutated pangolin. Its cone-shaped head had a long, thin snout that would occasionally open and flick out a tongue more than two meters long, which almost struck Song Bo's back and calves several times.
It looks like Song Bo is about to give up. He'll probably be wrapped up by the pangolin in no more than five minutes.
Zuo Shan remembered seeing an introduction to pangolins in "Animal World," which said that these animals have poor eyesight but an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
Song Bo's current path is to their lower left, and as he runs, the distance between them is getting closer and closer.
Even if the three of them remained silent and let Song Bo be swallowed by the pangolin, they might not be able to escape its sense of smell.
Rather than letting it defeat us one by one, we should unite and destroy it.
Thinking of this, Zuo Shan, under the cover of his backpack, took out a long metal chain made by Xiao Bao from his spatial button. It was originally intended to be used as a rope.
She tied the metal chain around the middle of the large rock with a knot, and when Song Bo got close, she shouted at him as he ran at full speed, "This way, catch him!"
Upon hearing this, Song Bo subconsciously looked up and saw the metal chain that Zuo Shan had thrown at him. After catching it, he saw that the other end of the metal chain was connected to a huge boulder.
He, who is not usually very quick-witted, reacted faster than ever before at this moment and instantly understood what she meant.
He pulled hard on the metal chain, loosening the boulder. Using the chain's force, he leaped into the air and landed on the boulder just as it rolled down.
The pangolin that had been chasing closely behind him was now right below the rocks. Song Bo used all his strength to stomp hard on the rocks!
