The car door opened, and Ruan Xianxian stepped out slowly, her profile hidden in shadow. She looked at the two people who were already waiting there and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mu Xia casually tossed the package Zhao Di had packed for her into the back seat through the wide-open car window, and said with a particularly sour expression:
“We knew something was wrong from the moment you deliberately left us at the county office.”
It's not that he's surnamed Chen; I bet you'll sneak away under the cover of night.
I thought that even if you didn't tell me everything, you at least knew my background and would choose to take me with you, so I bet with that guy surnamed Chen that we'd have a big meal.
She stared into Ruan Xianxian's eyes and said, word by word, "Ruan Xiaoxian, you made me lose."
Ruan Xianxian gripped Huang Er's tail tightly, her voice hoarse, "It's very dangerous for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, a dagger was suddenly pressed against her neck, and Mu Xia's voice was close to her ear, "A place where a loser like you can go, do you think I'd be afraid?"
The two were at least two meters apart. Ruan Xianxian stared wide-eyed at the dagger pressed against her neck...
It's no exaggeration to say that, given her perception, which had evolved far beyond that of ordinary people from drinking the spiritual spring like a beverage, she failed to detect Mu Xia's movements at all, and a knife was already at her neck.
Mu Xia snorted coldly, "The killing skills I honed with my life and 18 years of practice were easily evaded by you, a self-taught amateur. You're doomed from now on."
Ruan Xianxian cried, "Am I really that bad?"
The weasel narrowed its eyes and said in a dangerous voice, "Try letting her cut it off."
This guy instantly perked up again, looking defiant and resentful, and said with his neck raised, "Try cutting me."
"Are you sure?" Mu Xia, who had never fought her best friend before, became interested. After receiving an affirmative answer, she twisted her wrist and gently cut Ruan Xianxian's slender neck.
She was careful with her strength; even if the opponent didn't defend or counterattack, the knife would only graze a thin layer of skin.
The blade grazed her delicate skin. Before Mu Xia could retract the knife, she suddenly noticed something and her expression froze. Ruan Xiaoxian's neck was completely unharmed.
She stepped back and sheathed her sword, wondering what force had blocked her attack.
Huang Er proudly wagged his tail. The Huang family's combat strength was average among the five great immortal families, but they were not the kind of family that would allow a little girl to easily harm his friend with ordinary weapons.
Mu Xia knew perfectly well that Ruan Xian had connections, and was not surprised at all except for curiosity. She shook her high ponytail and pulled open the back seat.
Raising her eyebrows at Ruan Xianxian, who was still standing there like a wooden stake, she said, "Come on! I'm not very capable, but I can save our lives."
Chen Zhaodi stood at a distance and waved, "You two be careful."
"Leave the rear to me. The oil refinery, the livestock farm, and even the road construction in Shili Village—I will guard our home and wait here for your safe return!"
Ruan Xianxian didn't know how she got into the car, and repeated with difficulty, "Danger, this time we're not facing the Japanese, no, we're still facing the Japanese..."
Having gotten herself into a mess, Ruan Xianxian bit her tongue. "In short, the ones we're dealing with aren't the Japanese you think they are. Do you understand?"
Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the back seat.
Ruan Xianxian and Fan Caicai turned around at the same time, their jaws nearly dropping to their seats in astonishment.
Mu Xia's slightly fleshy fingertips were playing with a tiny bolt of lightning, purple thunder leaping at her fingertips. She looked up and met two astonished faces.
"No matter what kind of monsters we kill, is this enough?"
Fan Caicai stepped on the gas, and Ruan Xianxian pretended to be calm and looked away, then commanded, "Drive to Songjiang and pick up another friend."
She had made up her mind. Since she couldn't act out a tragic drama where someone had to die alone, she would make her journey invincible.
Ruan Xianxian reminded, "My friend is a bit large, so I suggest sending a truck to the coordinates in advance to wait."
A good liaison officer never asks why during a mission. Fan Caicai from Guaidao Commune made a phone call to urgently dispatch a large truck.
On the way to Songjiang, the jeep was driven like a "ground-hugging aircraft".
"Time is of the essence. The critical 72 hours are crucial for rescue. Please bear with us."
Ruan Xianxian shakily handed over a piece of orange peel, which Mu Xia accepted this time.
The journey, which normally takes five hours, was compressed by Fan Caicai into three and a half hours. When she arrived, the river was pitch black, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
Ruan Xianxian took out a whistle, put it to her lips, and blew hard.
I blew on it for about ten minutes, until my cheeks started to hurt...
Suddenly, with a splash, a huge turtle's back emerged from the water, followed by its head.
Weiwei was very happy that after seeing the three people on the shore, she did not swim over without permission. Her friend had told her that under no circumstances should she approach humans easily.
He tilted his head slightly until he heard Ruan Xianxian's voice, then paddled ashore after a few moments.
Patting the enormous glans, Ruan Xianxian smiled and introduced the two people and the rat, "This is my other friend, Weiwei."
The little weasel's fur was standing on end, and its claws were hooking at Ruan Xianxian's clothes in an attack posture. "How do you know him?"
Ruan Xianxian tilted her head in surprise, "You know each other too?"
“I don’t know him.” Huang Er said solemnly, “But I’ve heard my clansmen and Bai Nai say that there is a giant tortoise living in Songjiang, and he is the undisputed overlord of the Six Rivers.”
It could even hold its own against the giants in the Yellow River.
Ruan Xianxian was truly surprised this time. The silly turtle that she first saw, trapped at the end of the dam, was actually the overlord of the Six Rivers?
"Beast Taming Technique?" Mu Xia's voice rang out. "No wonder, no wonder you insisted on coming to see Jiang last time, it was to see this guy, wasn't it?"
"Aren't you surprised?" Mu Xia had already revealed her true identity, so Ruan Xianxian had nothing left to hide.
"I've seen it." What strange and wonderful superpowers aren't there in the apocalypse? Controlling plants and beasts, even controlling zombies, and even the ability to turn a person into a painting with a single step exists.
Mu Xia was already used to it.
Fan Caicai had already learned about the junior leader's abilities before he came, but seeing such a giant turtle come ashore still gave him a certain visual shock.
Weiwei glanced at the little thing chattering on Ruan Xianxian's shoulder, tilted her head, and thought, "What overlord? I don't understand, I don't understand at all!"
"Who will you eliminate this time? I practiced that palm technique you mentioned that descends from the sky, but I can't fly. I can only descend from the surface of the water to the bottom. Does that count as mastery?"
Teaching a tortoise a palm strike that falls from the sky? The weasel's gaze grew increasingly strange...
Ruan Xianxian froze. Sigh, why bring this up?
After realizing this guy was the overlord of the Six Rivers, and then looking into those big, innocent eyes...
Ruan Xianxian always had the illusion that she was the silly Bo Yi, and that the giant tortoise had just been fooling her!
Shaking its head to shake off unrealistic ideas, what bad intentions could a big turtle, which can't even find its home and has been swept into the river by the water and can't go home, possibly have?
She must be overthinking it!
To prevent this guy from saying anything outrageous again, Mu Xia and Cai Cai couldn't understand, but the little weasel on their shoulder did!
She hurriedly explained the strangeness of Baishi Village and her desire to ask the other party to come out of seclusion and help her.
With its large head tilted to one side, it pondered for a while, and before it knew whether it had figured it out, it climbed towards the large truck parked by the river.
"Let's go! Let's make it clear first, I'll help you fight the enemy, but you can't be stingy with your sweet water."
