Lin Tantan cried so sadly, sobbing and crying, and her tears flowed onto Ye Xiao's face. He was already wet and his face was full of water, and now his face was even more wet, looking very embarrassed.
He blinked slightly, and the water droplets on his eyelashes fell into his eyes. The slight stinging made him wake up. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Lin Tantan's arm, as if he wanted to pat him, but just the action of raising his hand used up all his remaining strength.
"Tan, Tan... don't cry..." He said in a low voice. Lin Tantan gradually stopped crying, sniffed, and continued to input energy into him. However, the previous attack on the fighter plane almost drained all the wood energy in her body. She regretted it very much at this moment. She shouldn't have done such a thing in a fit of anger. Even if she wanted to retaliate against the other party, she shouldn't have used the most important wood energy.
The little hamster that had been staying obediently in the pocket came out and spit out a bag for her without waiting for Lin Tantan's order. The bag was full of crystal cores. Lin Tantan immediately took out a green one and held it in his hand. While absorbing it, he treated Ye Xiao and checked his body at the same time.
Strangely enough, there were no obvious external injuries, but he looked extremely weak. Suddenly, she felt her palms were particularly sticky, and subconsciously raised her hands to see that they were covered in blood.
This is... blood? !
She shuddered suddenly and tore off Ye Xiao's clothes. There was no wound on his chest, but it was covered in blood. Tiny blood beads were constantly seeping out of his pores, condensing into large blood beads, and then sliding down.
At the same time, she also felt that she was half-holding Ye Xiao in her arms, and she felt a warm and sticky feeling on her arm that was resting on his back. Her body and the stone boat under Ye Xiao were also stained with blood red.
He was bleeding all over!
Lin Tantan's face was completely drained of color, and his lips trembled: "How, how could this happen? Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao, what's wrong with you!"
She is the best therapist and the best doctor. Since she became famous, she has encountered many difficult patients, but none of them made her so at a loss as to how to treat them, leaving her with endless panic.
The person most important to her was lying in front of her, bleeding inexplicably all over his body, as if all the blood in his body was drained out. He was so weak that it seemed as if he only had one last breath left, but she didn't know what to do, or even why.
Obviously... everything is normal except the weakness!
Lin Tantan's entire body began to tremble. He could only continuously inject wood energy into himself, biting his lips tightly to prevent himself from crying out loud.
Suddenly, she saw something else. There were several scrape marks on Ye Xiao's abdomen, and his skin was scraped off. She didn't notice it in time because he was covered in blood.
Where did you get hurt?
She suddenly looked towards the edge of the boat. That was where she had just pulled him out of the water. Her movements had been a bit rough because she wasn't strong enough. Could it be that he had been scratched? But he hadn't even scratched his clothes, so how could he have been injured directly?
She suddenly thought of something and reached out to press Ye Xiao's chest, leaving a handprint. It seemed that if she pressed a little harder, she could pick off a piece of flesh.
His muscles have always been solid and toned, full of strength, and even feel hard to the touch, especially after he was infected with that kind of supernatural poison. The six hours of torture a day, although painful, also made his body stronger and stronger. They tried it, and ordinary blades could hardly leave marks on his body even if they cut hard. Lin Tan Tan even joked that he was going to cultivate into an iron wall.
But now, the iron wall seemed to have turned into a shoddy construction in an instant, and could be destroyed with a single force.
Lin Tan Tan was in a panic: "Ye, Ye Xiao, how could this happen?" Only then did she remember that when she picked him up in the water just now, the feeling was indeed not right. She thought he was just swollen after being soaked in water for so long.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind at once. Was it a power collapse? It didn't seem like that. Out-of-control power would rampage through the body, slicing it to pieces without leaving any flesh or skin. But it shouldn't be like him, completely limp like this.
Ye Xiao gasped for breath with difficulty. His respiratory tract was also bleeding, and his breathing began to become very labored. Some blood also seeped out of his face, but it was not as serious as his body. He looked at Lin Tan's terrified face and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, it's getting better."
He himself is somewhat aware of his own body.
He should have been blown into pieces by the previous shot. Although he mobilized all his special powers at the critical moment and formed a thick barrier in front of him, he was still unable to block the bullet.
The energy and body of a level five mutant are completely unable to compete with this level of thermal weapons.
If it were two months ago, he would have been smashed into a pulp on the spot, but that strange energy had transformed his body for so long that the strength of his bones, tendons and muscles had greatly increased, which was why he was able to hold on.
But that powerful external force still managed to reach his body, and so… everything was in shambles. All his organs and tissues, like his own body, maintained their normal form but were on the verge of disintegration. Even the slightest force would tear him apart. This was also why his skin rotted after just a scrape against the edge of the boat, and why Lin Tantan could leave fingerprints on him with just a little pressure.
Before, he maintained this state and floated in the water. His body was unconscious, but he still had some consciousness. He just couldn't do anything. He could only use the little energy left in his body to protect his body to avoid hitting sharp objects or being torn apart by zombies.
It was not until he was rescued by Lin Tantan and infused with wood-related supernatural powers that he woke up, as if he had received a breath of life-extending immortal energy.
At the same time, the energy that was dormant in his body and emerged on time every night to transform his body began to stir.
They seemed particularly obsessed with transforming his body, just like facing a piece of land and insisting on plowing it into the best structure. Now they found that the structure they had plowed with great difficulty was messed up again, and it was a mess, turned into a puddle of mud. They immediately became furious, and the result was that this energy completely rioted.
Logically speaking, Ye Xiao should have felt pain that was countless times more intense than usual, but his nerves were damaged all over his body and his senses were very dull. Although he could not feel the pain, the energy was too overbearing and unreasonable, causing him to bleed all over his body.
Wouldn't that scare the little girl?
Ye Xiao thought about this in his mind, but for a moment he couldn't explain it. He looked at Lin Tan with apology and heartache, and tried to speak: "Don't be afraid, don't worry."
How could Lin Tantan not be afraid and worried? She was almost scared to death. Fortunately, she also had one advantage, which was that she completely trusted Ye Xiao.
Since Ye Xiao said he was getting better, then he was getting better. She rubbed her face, which was covered with tears or river water, on her shoulder, her voice still trembling uncontrollably: "How can I help you?"
Ye Xiao blinked: "Give me some... time."
Lin Tantan said quickly, "Okay, okay."
Ye Xiao said again: "Contact, Bai Cheng... go back." It's not safe outside, he has lost all his mobility, and his body is still bleeding. They must go back immediately.
"Okay." Lin Tantan understood what he meant, stopped supplying energy, grabbed the communicator spit out by the little hamster, and contacted Bai Cheng again.
At this time, Bai Cheng was already on the road. More than half an hour had passed, and they were still a long way from their destination, the riverside. The zombies, mutants, and zombie animals they frequently encountered on the road made them very annoyed, and their speed had to be slowed down continuously.
At the same time, Bai Cheng was constantly contacting Lin Tan Tan, hoping to get a response.
Jiang Xiaotian said: "There is no signal. Either the communicator is damaged, or it has been placed in space." The new communicator has a built-in positioning function, but if it is placed in space, there will definitely be no signal leaking out.
Suddenly his eyes lit up: "There's a signal!" As soon as he finished speaking, the communicator in Bai Cheng's hand rang, showing that it was Lin Tan Tan. He picked up the phone immediately: "Tan Tan!"
"I found him!" Lin Tan's voice came more urgently, "He's still alive, but his condition is not good. Come and pick us up quickly, we're on the river...ah!"
There was a scream, and then there was a splash sound of something falling into the water, very close and clear, followed by a series of very dull water sounds, which seemed to be... the sound of a communicator falling into the water!
Bai Cheng shouted repeatedly, but there was no sound from the other end. The atmosphere in the speeding car suddenly became extremely tense.
Bai Cheng asked Jiang Xiaotian about the location, and Jiang Xiaotian said that the location showed that it was still there. Bai Cheng asked if he could see the situation over there. Jiang Xiaotian tried and said: "There is cloud cover on the satellite map, and it is not clear."
Bai Cheng frowned, and after a moment he said, "Fortunately, we've found the person. Let's go at full speed and try to arrive as soon as possible."
Back to a moment ago, on the river, Lin Tantan was talking to Bai Cheng, wanting to tell him the exact location, but suddenly the small stone boat was pushed up from the bottom. Lin Tantan was caught off guard and his body was shaken. The communicator in his hand fell into the river and sank directly.
But she had no time to pay attention to the communicator at the moment. She hurriedly hugged Ye Xiao tightly and grabbed the edge of the boat with her right hand. In her haste, she did not have time to release her supernatural powers to assist her. She relied on her own body strength to fix herself and Ye Xiao on the stone boat and did not fall into the river.
Their bodies were lifted up a little, and fell back heavily when the boat fell back. Lin Tantan's buttocks were just cracked, but Ye Xiao's situation was not good. His body was at its most vulnerable. After such a fall, Lin Tantan even heard a horrible sound as if something was smashed into pieces.
She was horrified and quickly touched his back. She felt that the part she touched was softer, like a persimmon that was about to rot and was sticky even through the clothes.
Her whole body was trembling, but Ye Xiao seemed to have no feeling about his body. Even though he was dizzy from the fall and his head seemed to be a mess, he remained extremely calm. He took a deep breath and reminded her, "There's something in the water!"
The next moment, a huge fish tail rose up on the surface of the river in front of them, bringing out a splash of river water, which splashed towards the two of them.
Lin Tantan immediately waved his hand in front of him, releasing a film of water in front of him to block all the river water.
Then there was another splash, and she turned around suddenly, and a huge fish head jumped out from the other side of the boat.
It is pitch black in color, with large, bulging eyes, two long whiskers on the edge of its extremely wide-open mouth and thick lips, and two rows of densely packed teeth in its open mouth.
She gasped. This kind of fish was something she had never seen before. It was obviously a mutant species, and the direction of the mutation had deviated from its original normal appearance.
However, this did not prevent her from seeing that this fish was no ordinary fish. With such a large head, such a huge and long body, and those pitch-black scales, it was obvious that it would not be easy to deal with. The densely packed sharp teeth showed that this guy would definitely eat meat quickly and fiercely.
Lin Tan Tan gritted his teeth.
Ye Xiao lay in her arms, his body still unable to move, but his pupils shrank sharply. This thing was not easy to deal with. It was hateful. He couldn't move at all now!
At the same time, the big fish looked at the two people, and a hint of greed flashed in its bulging eyes. It was obvious that they were both excellent delicacies, the kind that were both delicious and nutritious. Its body bent under the water, just below the stone boat. Then it straightened up, and its strong and powerful body pushed the small stone boat out of the water again.
This time it was even more brutal than before. The two of them flew out directly and landed on the river. Lin Tan Tan immediately put his right hand on Ye Xiao. The next moment, the water quickly covered his entire body. The white and transparent water formed a protective layer more than ten centimeters thick around him. This protective layer was strong and soft, which could not only protect him but also relieve most of the impact.
The next moment, the two men fell into the water with a splash, splashing a lot of water, and the small stone boat turned over and crashed into the water.
Lin Tantan immediately controlled himself and emerged from the water, wiped his face and took a deep breath, while his right hand tightly grasped Ye Xiao, who had an extra layer of protection.
The mutant fish swam towards them with a flick of its tail. Its sturdy body, more than three meters long, moved at an extremely fast speed, like a missile.
Lin Tan Tan knew that facing such a huge creature, the water film she had used before was no match for it. Moreover, she had to hold Ye Xiao and maintain the protective layer on his body. It was not easy to maintain such a thick layer of water. She had no time to use other supernatural powers. She immediately dodged to the side, leaving the fish empty-handed.
At the same time, she came to the end of the gradually sinking stone boat, and when the fish turned in the water and pounced on her again, she stepped on the bow of the boat and kicked it hard. The stone boat was pushed out hard and hit the huge fish head, which had no time to dodge.
With a bang, the mutant fish twitched all over and sank crookedly, as if it had been knocked unconscious.
Lin Tantan, on the other hand, used the reaction force of kicking out of the boat to paddle frantically in the other direction.
The river where they were was between two large bridges. The river was very wide, more than two thousand meters wide, and the small stone boat was parked at about one-third of the way.
The more unfortunate part is the one-third of the way away from the Ning City base.
Lin Tantan was pushed towards the other side by the reaction force.
She knew that after the four bridges were broken, the tide of zombies was blocked on this side. It would be extremely dangerous to escape to this side now, but she had no choice. Firstly, this side was closer, and secondly, she had accidentally run in this direction. Now the most urgent thing was to get ashore quickly, and the future could only be dealt with later.
She paddled frantically, but unfortunately her right hand had to hold Ye Xiao, and her left hand... she didn't even have a left hand, okay? For the first time, she experienced the inconvenience of disability. She was madly disgusted with the slow speed at which her hand grew. She couldn't swim. Previously, she was able to move forward in the water mainly by relying on her supernatural power to displace water. Now, she paddled almost without any rules, kicking her feet randomly, and her speed was extremely slow.
The little hamster was also paddling quickly beside her. With four paws, it paddled much faster than her. It rushed to the front in a flash, then stopped to look at her, squeaking and asking her to catch up quickly.
Lin Tantan really wants to install a motor under his feet. He should prepare one in the hamster's space!
Suddenly the little hamster screamed. Lin Tan looked back and saw that the fish had woken up and caught up with him!
"Damn it!" It was a pity that her water-based ability was almost used up. If she wanted to run fast in the water, she had to stop supplying Ye Xiao. Even then, she might not be able to outrun a fish.
Her eyes sharpened, and she was about to make a desperate attempt when she suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. She paused, frowned, and frowned. After thinking for a moment, she felt that it was feasible, and then she began to plan something. The little hamster paddling hard in front of her stopped and called out to her in surprise and panic.
Lin Tantan was still pondering, feeling a deep sense of regret. She had tried to use her feet to emit earth energy, but she had never tried to use her feet to emit gold energy. As she had said to Ye Xiao before, letting the energy flow through the whole body was the only way to use it anywhere. Her energy usually came from her hands, but now it was mostly from her right hand—the lack of her left hand had a significant impact on the functioning of her energy. Only earth energy worked well with her hands, and it also worked well with her feet.
At this moment, she was forcibly changing the trajectory of the gold-based supernatural power in her body, downward, downward, to her feet.
If one could see through things, one would discover five mist-like energy sources of different colors in her brain. The green wood element was almost exhausted, the red fire element and the brown earth element were full but in a relatively quiet state, the blue water element was running wildly and was on the verge of exhaustion, and then the golden gold element also began to run at high speed.
The golden energy broke away from its inherent trajectory in the body and began to move towards the lower limbs, finally reaching the feet. The next moment, a golden light suddenly emerged from the water under Lin Tantan's feet, followed by the second, third, fourth, and fifth pieces.
Five pieces of golden light suddenly began to rotate at high speed like the blades of an electric fan. Just when the mutant fish behind opened its mouth wide and was about to bite, the five blades discharged a high-speed stream of water backwards, hitting the mutant fish directly on the forehead, and hit it hard at the place where it was swollen by the stone boat. It twitched and curled up in pain, causing the river water to roll.
At the same time, Lin Tantan had already rushed out with the help of the reverse thrust of the water flow.
It really feels like there is a motor under my feet.
When passing by the little hamster, the little guy was stunned. It was only when Lin Tantan swung out his left arm that he rolled it over and prevented it from falling.
The little guy quickly grabbed Lin Tantan's sleeve tightly, and did not let go even if the water pulled all its fur off.
Lin Tantan was more than 600 meters away from the shore, and the time was only one minute away. She didn't control her strength and pushed herself onto the embankment, almost hitting her forehead. She quickly retracted the "motor" under her feet, and without daring to stop for a moment, she picked up Ye Xiao and rushed up.
A few seconds later, a huge black fish with a big bump on its forehead rushed out of the water and bit her hard from behind, but it only bit a mouthful of air. With a bang, it almost broke its teeth. It fell down unwillingly, first landing on the slanted concrete embankment, then rolling back into the water. It wandered by the water for a while, unwilling to leave but unable to get ashore, and was very angry.
Lin Tantan climbed up the embankment and fell on the soft soil. He lay on his back, gasping for breath and looking at the clear blue sky. He felt like he had survived a disaster.
"Damn it! I'm a genius!"
The little hamster also lay on its side, gasping for breath, its belly bulging, its fur all stuck together, looking thin and pitiful.
Lin Tantan finally felt like she had breathed her last. She quickly stood up and looked at Ye Xiao, who was encased in a thick protective layer beside her. Their eyes met through the constantly flowing and surging water. She quickly removed the protective layer and asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ye Xiao tried to raise his hand and hold her arm: "I'm fine."
Feeling the slight force in his hand, Lin Tan Tan was almost moved to tears of joy: "You have strength again, you are really recovering! That's great!"
But the bleeding continued, and soon the soil beneath him was dyed red.
Ye Xiao looked at her tenderly. He saw everything that had just happened, but he was powerless to do anything... He took a deep breath: "Crystal core, do you have it?"
"Crystal core?" Lin Tantan thought for a moment, then remembered that the bag containing the crystal core had been placed on the boat. Then something unexpected happened. She asked the little guy who was still lying there gasping for breath, "Did you put the crystal core away?"
The little hamster got up quickly, his eyes blank, and shook his head: "Squeak!" No!
In other words, a bag of crystal cores fell into the water!
Lin Tantan was very upset. Those were all excellent crystal cores, all of level two and three. She didn't have to worry about not having enough crystal cores. Bai Cheng had a lot of them. When they were guarding the city wall in the rainstorm, they just picked up the zombies' heads and took out the crystal cores as if they were taking pearls. It was so smooth that it seemed like a process on an assembly line. They had accumulated countless crystal cores.
Later, every time they left the base, they would gain a lot. Of course, the best crystal cores would be sent to Lin Tantan, as long as she could use them. And she had a lot of them. She had five elemental crystal cores, and the mutant rats had various abilities. In addition, she would also have some of Ye Xiao's wind elemental crystal cores...
She used the crystal cores very well and made great contributions. She never worried about not having enough crystal cores. But now she lost a whole bag of crystal cores and was suddenly at a loss.
She looked at Ye Xiao: "It's gone, thrown into the water. Do you need a crystal core?" She looked up and looked around: "There should be a lot of zombies here, I'll get it for you later."
Ye Xiao grabbed her hand a little harder and blinked: "No, don't take the risk."
"But..." But not only did he have no crystal cores left, she didn't either. Her wood energy was almost exhausted, and she couldn't treat Ye Xiao without replenishment. Although she would recover slowly without crystal core replenishment, the speed was very slow.
She once again regretted using the Wood Element against the fighter. Who had made her use it so easily as a rope? She decided to use the Wood Element only for healing from now on, and never waste it on anything else.
Ye Xiao said: "Rest. If there are zombies, we will still rely on you."
Lin Tan nodded and looked around carefully.
There was a forest nearby, a tall windbreak planted in a long row along the riverbank. Beyond the windbreak was the road and buildings. No zombies had been seen yet. Thinking of the strange zombie she had seen on the other side of the river, she felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She only hoped that the zombie, seeing the bridge destroyed, had taken its minions and taken a detour.
But if they really meet the other party, even if it is just an ordinary zombie, they can only rely on her. With her current empty wood element, she can't save anyone who is scratched.
After looking around and making sure there were no zombies, she came back and sat down next to Ye Xiao, looking at him with his eyes closed and his face covered in blood.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a safe place to hide, but where is safe here? Ye Xiao said he needed time, and his condition was extremely unsuitable for moving around...
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and patted the place beside him: "Lie down and rest. I'll call you if anything happens." He could see that she was very tired.
His eyes were fixed on her wet hair. There was a swelling under her hair on her forehead, which was still bleeding. She actually had many scars on her body.
Lin Tan Tan covered his head and was about to lie down when he suddenly thought of something: "Do you want to eat something? Or drink some water?"
Ye Xiao said no, and Lin Tantan started eating. She felt very hungry and tired. She had been searching in the river for so long, which had consumed too much energy. She took out high-calorie chocolate and sports drinks from the hamster's space and ate them in big mouthfuls.
After finishing her meal, she felt much better. She used her earth-based abilities to create a flat area on the ground, spread a blanket on it, and then carefully carried Ye Xiao over. After all, lying directly on the ground was too rough and too cold. She actually wanted to change Ye Xiao's clothes, to take off his wet clothes, but she didn't dare to move him. Besides, he was still bleeding, and even if she changed him into clean clothes, they would soon become bloody and wet again...
She frowned and looked at him worriedly, then lay down beside him and covered them both with a blanket, especially Ye Xiao, covering him tightly, worried that the smell of blood on his body would spread too far.
She whispered, "I've used up all my wood and water energy, and I used up most of my gold energy in the water just now, so there's not much left. Fortunately, my fire and earth energy are almost full, so I can still give it a try if I encounter zombies. Don't worry too much."
Ye Xiao also said: "Give me another two hours, I can almost stand up."
"Really? That's great!" Lin Tantan was excited, then said seriously, "Then we have to get through these two hours safely." She thought for a moment and said, "How about this?"
Then he used his earth-related abilities to build a wall of earth around the two of them, and then pulled it upwards. A moment later, the two of them were lying in the pitch-black earth mound, with only a few small holes left for breathing.
Ye Xiao: “…”
Lin Tan Tan whispered in his ear, "Although it's a bit stuffy, this will prevent our breath from leaking out to the greatest extent."
Ye Xiao: "...I understand, this is good."
As the light went out, Lin Tantan's eyelids drooped continuously. She was really tired. Although she still had two full powers, her physical fatigue had little to do with her powers.
After all, this body is just the foundation of a weak little girl. Even though it becomes strong and energetic due to super powers, it still shows its inadequacy when it is really tired. In addition, she has been using super powers intensively, her nerves are highly tense, and her emotions are fluctuating greatly... Now that she has relaxed, her consciousness can't help but feel heavy.
She gently hugged Ye Xiao's arm, curled up beside him, and murmured: "I'll sleep for a while, call me if there is anything."
After he finished speaking, his breathing became shallow.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes in the darkness, staring at the bright air vents above, his heart unable to calm down.
Hatred, anger, regret, self-blame...all kinds of emotions were swirling in his heart.
He hated himself for being too careless and not being on guard against Han Ying at all. It was his carelessness that led to all the things that happened afterwards, making his beloved girl worry and suffer for him.
This is the last time, he swore in his heart.
If hurting him means hurting his little girl, then he will not give anyone the chance to hurt him again, no one!
When he felt pain in his hands, he realized that he had clenched his fists too tightly, causing his joints and muscles to ache slightly.
At this time, his nerves were no longer as dull as before, and he also felt the severe pain and itching in his body, which was more unbearable than the six hours every night. But for the first time, he hoped that this feeling would be stronger so that he could get better faster.
He tried to calm himself down, listening to the soft breathing of the person beside him in the darkness. He turned his head to look at her, closed his eyes again, but pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movements around him.
Time passed minute by minute, one hour, two hours, Bai Cheng and others finally arrived at the riverside. They first found the crashed military helicopter. The whole helicopter was slowly smoking, and the pilot was lying in the cockpit that looked like scrap metal, with his head broken and bleeding. They went to take a look and found that the person was still breathing. They brought a wood-type mutant and immediately started treatment.
A bunch of mutant animals and plants in a car suddenly became agitated, jumped down from the car, and came to a bloodstain not far away, looking restless.
Everyone followed and saw only bloodstains and a few bloody footprints that gradually faded. Bai Cheng said, "It must be Tan Tan's blood."
Apart from a broken hand, Lin Tantan had never suffered such an injury and lost so much blood... Everyone was horrified.
Then he continued to walk towards the river, heading straight for the place where the signal last appeared.
The first thing you want to see is the broken bridge. The one that Ye Xiao was responsible for was the most completely destroyed. The one a few thousand meters away still had half a fighter plane hanging on it, but it did not fall into the river because the tail of the plane was hooked on the steel cable.
Bai Cheng squinted his eyes in the car and looked through the telescope for a while. After approaching the bridge, Jiang Xiaotian's life detector suddenly sounded. He immediately said, "There's a living person!"
When they got there, they saw Han Ying hanging alive on the edge of the fighter plane. He looked like a bloody man with almost all the blood drained out of his body. Several zombies nearby wanted to catch him, but they couldn't get close because half of the fighter plane was hanging diagonally on the broken part of the bridge.
"This guy is still alive!" Jiang Xiaotian glared.
Bai Cheng sternly ordered people to rescue Han Ying.
"Why save him?" Jiang Xiaotian muttered.
"Rescue him and let Ye Xiao deal with him." Bai Cheng said.
Han Ying was hanging upside down by the fighter plane, his legs pierced into his flesh by the broken edges of the plane, preventing him from falling into the river. The wood-type mutant sent out vines to entangle him, making it impossible to pull him back. Bai Cheng said calmly, "Then cut off your legs. We don't have that much time to waste on this."
After hearing this, Xu Li jumped forward and did not draw his sword. Instead, he raised a knife, pressed a button on the handle, and then swung his hand to chop. A golden light flashed across a distance of seven or eight meters and cut off Han Ying's legs very accurately. Han Ying fell directly down and was pulled back by the wood-type mutant and fell to the ground.
Han Ying, who was in a deep coma, woke up after this ordeal. He felt severe pain in his legs and howled, but then his head tilted and he fainted again.
Bai Cheng said coldly: "Save him, don't let him die."
Taking Han Ying with them, they continued forward and arrived at the location. They found that it was the middle of the river. They stood on the shore but only saw a calm river surface and found nothing.
Jiang Xiaotian swallowed his saliva. He didn't dare to say something, fearing that it would be unlucky. Cheng Qinan suddenly said, "They are still alive. They should be nearby."
Bai Cheng walked down the embankment and pulled out a pure white speedboat from his space. No one knew when he got it, but it looked brand new. He said, "Let's go take a look."
Xu Li suddenly stopped him: "Wait, there's something in the water!"
Cheng Qinan said almost at the same time: "It's dangerous, don't go in the water."
A group of mutant rats also started to scream, and the two swans also looked very uneasy.
Everyone stopped and looked carefully at the river. Suddenly, they saw a huge shadow swimming in the water, and suddenly it dived out of the water.
People then saw the thing clearly. It was a huge fish with a flat body, big at the top and small at the bottom. It was gray-brown all over and it was impossible to tell what species it was. It jumped high, creating a huge shadow, and swooped down towards the people on the shore in mid-air.
Xu Li swung his sword again, and a flash of golden light passed by, splitting the thing into two halves. The body fell heavily back into the water, and the blood instantly dyed the surface of the river red. Then several things in the water swam over quickly and bit the two halves of the corpse ferociously.
People gasped. These were all mutant creatures, various kinds of fish, and a giant crab.
Bai Cheng took the speedboat back and everyone went ashore to avoid being affected.
The group of people looked very unhappy and worried. The river was so dangerous. If Ye Xiaolin and Tan Tan fell into the water, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of Lin Tan's last call that was accidentally disconnected, and the sound of the communicator falling into the water, it was really disturbing. Fortunately, Cheng Qinan said they were still alive.
They were at a loss on the shore, so Jiang Xiaotian controlled his drone and began searching the river.
At the same time, Ye Xiao, who was lying on the mound, opened his eyes.
He faintly heard some noise outside, but before he could make out what was going on, he was startled by the sound next to him.
He heard a soft sobbing sound and turned his head hurriedly. He vaguely saw Lin Tantan crying with her eyes closed.
"Let's talk!" He quickly reached out and touched her face, feeling a wet spot on it. He hurriedly woke her up, "Let's talk! Let's talk!"
"Ah!" Lin Tantan woke up suddenly and sat up in shock. She had obviously forgotten that she was still in the mound of earth she had made. Fortunately, Ye Xiao pressed her head in time to stop her from crashing into it.
"Hmm." Lin Tantan quickly regained consciousness, figured out where he was, and looked at the people around him: "Ye Xiao?"
"It's me. What happened to you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Lin Tantan recalled her blurred dream, her heart still beating fast. She dreamed that she was in a dark place and couldn't find Ye Xiao, so she started crying in panic.
She wiped her eyes and said with a nasal tone, "Nothing." Grasping Ye Xiao's warm hand, she felt a little more at ease and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
"Well, I should be able to stand up now. I heard some noise outside. Something was flying, like a drone."
Lin Tan believed in Ye Xiao's hearing very much. Although she listened carefully and seemed to hear nothing, she climbed up carefully and put her hand on the mound of earth. The circle of earth suddenly collapsed and fell like sand.
