“Host, there’s someone ahead.” Yuanbao’s words made Xu Nian stop in her tracks. She looked around, but did not see the person Yuanbao was talking about.
"Host, he's crouching in that tree, hiding among the dense foliage, watching you." Yuanbao thoughtfully showed Xu Nian the images he had detected.
"Yuanbao, let's go, let's get away from this area." Xu Nian made a quick decision and left with Yuanbao.
Having been in this world for almost a month, one should be very happy to finally meet someone.
But there's one prerequisite: the other person must be a good person.
Xu Nian didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, and without wanting to antagonize them, the only option was to avoid direct confrontation.
The man in the tree watched the retreating girl, a look of confusion in his eyes; he seemed to be caught in a dilemma.
He fell in love with a girl at first sight.
But he also knew that he still loved someone else.
How come he doesn't know he's such a womanizer?
After coming into this world, I was able to fall in love with every single person I met, and they were even people of two different genders.
Is he bisexual?
Left bewildered by the wind, he thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and decided to chase after that girl.
But then the girl came running back riding a pig, followed by two men with ill intentions.
The two men were strong and muscular; one carried a large shield, and the other held a long spear. They moved with incredible speed, keeping pace with the girl's escape.
Judging by the looks of it, it won't be long before these two catch up with the girl. Anyone with a brain can tell what will happen to her then.
Without a second thought, Kongyu immediately jumped down from the tree and stood in front of the girl, blocking the two men with ill intentions.
"Pretty boy, are you trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?" The man holding the spear brandished it, pointing the tip at an empty space, his smile both terrifying and sinister.
"Brother, don't rush to attack. Let me talk to him." The man with the large shield shielded the man with the spear behind him, watching Kong Yu warily.
A lone wolf who dares to venture out on his own is either exceptionally capable or arrogant and ignorant.
The person in front of me has an unusual air about him; at first glance, he's most likely the former.
He smiled kindly at Kong Yu and said, "Brother, you've got your eye on this woman too? She's truly stunning. How about this, the three of us split her equally, so we don't have to fight and ruin our relationship, right?"
"Who wants to share with you?" Kong Yu scoffed. If he had any designs on it, it would be his alone, and anyone who dared to covet it would die.
"Brother, is there no room for negotiation?" The man with the large shield narrowed his eyes, and his aura instantly surged.
"Ha! You two dare to covet her? Dream on!" Kong Yu took out his broadsword, moved his feet, and slashed at the two men with the sword.
The man with the large shield was no pushover either. Not only could he accurately deflect every strike from Kongyu with his shield, but the man behind him wielding a spear could also coordinate with him to counterattack Kongyu.
The man with the large shield was responsible for defense, and the man with the long spear was responsible for attack; the two brothers worked together seamlessly.
Without using grenades and magic scrolls, there's really nothing that can be done about the two of them for the time being.
Seeing the two sides locked in combat, Xu Nian patted Yuanbao's head, signaling it to sneak away.
Just as Yuanbao retreated behind a tree and ran away, the man with the large shield saw him and angrily said to Kong Yu, "Brother, that woman abandoned you and ran away. Are you sure you still want to fight us two brothers?"
"You'd better mind your own business! I'll find her myself!" Kong Yu said, his face darkening.
Seeing that the person who had been disturbing his mind was indeed gone, he stretched out his hand, and three grenades appeared. Under the horrified gazes of the man with the shield and the man with the spear, he pulled the pin and threw the grenades.
The three loud explosions sent a chill down Xu Nian's spine as she fled on Yuanbao's back; it seemed she had dragged someone into trouble.
"Yuanbao, run faster! Those two are dead, I'm next." Xu Nian knew very well that if she kindly saved someone and that person turned around and ran away without even saying thank you, then she was definitely part of a scheme.
People generally don't intend to pretend that nothing happened when someone dares to design their own destiny.
Besides, that man from earlier was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
If she wasn't mistaken, the sound of that explosion must have come from explosives, and what she knew was hand grenades.
The three explosions indicated that he had thrown three grenades.
It was lost right after she ran away. What a coincidence!
Why did he have to lose her now of all times? If he wasn't in a hurry to win her back, what else could he be doing?
Just as Xu Nian was thinking this, a flash of light appeared a hundred meters in front of him, and a cold figure appeared.
The distance was too short, and Yuanbao couldn't stop in time, crashing directly into the person. But the person reached out, grabbed, spun, and flicked the hand, skillfully avoiding Yuanbao's impact.
At the same time, Yuanbao was also thrown off by him, and Xu Nian was also thrown off Yuanbao's back.
It fell to the ground, realizing that the visitor meant no good.
Xu Nian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly tried to get up, but it was too late. She was pressed back to the ground by the man's knee, and her hands were also restrained behind her back.
A deep male voice sounded behind her. "Girl, don't you have anything to say about your behavior just now?"
"I didn't ask you to help me." Xu Nian gasped in pain, absolutely refusing to admit that she had deliberately lured those two there.
He paused for a moment, thinking back to the situation. It was indeed he who had taken the initiative to help her. She had never said a word, not even a glance.
Seeing that the man behind her remained silent, Xu Nian loosened his grip on her wrist and said softly, "Can you let go of me now?"
"Let go?" Kong Yu seemed to have heard something funny. He stroked the soft skin under his hand, and his mocking voice gave Xu Nian a bad feeling.
No way! This person looks very upright. Could it be that he, like those two, also fell for her at first sight?
"Girl, it's too dangerous for you to come out alone like this. Where's your boyfriend? Why isn't he by your side protecting you?" Kong Yu wasn't in a hurry to do anything; he simply pinned her to the ground, rendering her unable to resist.
He needs to sort out the thoughts in his mind now.
Without a doubt, like any other man, he was attracted to this beautiful and radiant woman at first sight and fell in love with her instantly.
But he had already decided in his heart that it was someone else.
But now... all his desires were clamoring for him to have the person in front of him immediately.
Even the ideas I had previously held in my heart were subtly shifting, turning towards her.
Kong Yu found it strange that this woman had such charm that she could capture his entire attention at first glance.
"What do you want?" Xu Nian couldn't see the man's expression behind her, but she could feel his increasingly intense gaze.
The heat radiating from her body seemed to want to pierce her to the ground in the next second.
