Suddenly, Guo Xiaoxiao felt a chill on her back; something cold had torn through her clothes and slipped onto her skin.
Her flawless skin was exposed to Carlos's eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow hard as his fingers moved down her spine.
A perfect opportunity! Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly broke free from Carlos with a burst of strength, throwing him off balance. He crashed into the rock wall with a cry of pain—the enhancement had taken effect!
Guo Xiaoxiao stood up, picked up the bone knife, and glared fiercely at Carlos.
Goodbye, you bastard.
She couldn't kill Carlos. Guo Xiaoxiao gripped the bone knife and ran outside. The cave had too many twists and turns; she didn't know which way to run.
System open
[System: Host, move to the left]
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately changed direction and ran to the left following the system's instructions. Carlos got up and chased after her, transforming into a snake beast with terrifying speed.
They quickly caught up with Guo Xiaoxiao by following her trail. Guo Xiaoxiao was quite fast; she ran for her life, and for a moment, Carlos couldn't keep up with her.
Is it even female? Running so fast and with such strength is completely illogical!
Carlos gritted his teeth and sped forward. Following the system's guidance, Guo Xiaoxiao finally found another way out. Light shone into the cave entrance, and Guo Xiaoxiao rushed out.
"Female, be careful."
Embracing the breath of freedom
Feeling the light of the sky
Contact with snowflakes
Guo Xiaoxiao was lifted into the air, her feet unable to touch the ground. A howling wind followed, and the vast expanse of white snow stretched out before her.
Damn it!!
It's a cliff...!!!
Guo Xiaoxiao's head suddenly exploded; she thought she was going to die.
A snake's tail coiled around Guo Xiaoxiao's waist, pulling her back forcefully. She was wrapped around the snake's tail several times, her body still descending.
Carlos rolled Guo Xiaoxiao up and slid her against the rock wall, while he himself slid down the wall head-on, his skin torn and his body riddled with wounds.
It finally landed on the thick snow.
"Cough, cough"
After the skill was used, Guo Xiaoxiao's body heat was drained, and her temperature dropped rapidly. Carlos felt the icy coldness of the woman in his arms and hurriedly searched for the nearest cave. He knew this area well; they were currently at the foot of the mountain on the other side.
The environment here is relatively better.
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore and fainted...
The crackling sound was like burning charcoal. Guo Xiaoxiao, with her eyes closed, felt a warm light source. She opened her eyes and saw a pile of firewood burning in front of her.
Thinking she was surely going to die, Guo Xiaoxiao, with a splitting headache, struggled to sit up. Looking around, she found herself lying on a flat rock, covered with a long black robe.
Her vision was blurry, and everything around her seemed hazy and indistinct. Guo Xiaoxiao touched her forehead; she had a fever.
Her body was burning hot, and her throat was sore. She tried to stand up, but her body felt incredibly heavy. She tried to lift her aching legs, but she had no strength at all; she couldn't manage it.
Guo Xiaoxiao sighed and leaned against a rock to rest. How much time had passed?
"woke up"
A languid sound rang out. In a corner unnoticed by Guo Xiaoxiao, Carlos was grinding herbs. He slid over to Guo Xiaoxiao, half-human and half-snake, carrying a bowl of herbal juice, and bent down to hand her the stone bowl.
"Drank it"
Guo Xiaoxiao frowned; she wasn't going to drink it. Who knew if it was poisoned?
"I don't want to drink it."
Guo Xiaoxiao refused, but Carlos picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he pried open her mouth and, mouth to mouth, poured the juice into her mouth.
Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as a bitter taste assaulted her throat, almost making her vomit. Carlos forced her to swallow before releasing her. Guo Xiaoxiao coughed, with traces of the remaining medicine at the corner of her mouth.
"It tastes very sweet."
Carlos licked his dry lips, his expression wicked and seductive, and stuck out his scarlet tongue to lick away the remaining medicine stains.
Provoked, Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head away, refusing to look at Carlos; a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.
Carlos had also suffered serious injuries, falling off a cliff and protecting Guo Xiaoxiao from harm; he had already endured a great deal. Now, he needed a safe and stable environment.
But he couldn't give up on Guo Xiaoxiao; he persevered, delaying his hibernation.
Guo Xiaoxiao knew Carlos was dangerous; perhaps he was waiting for her to recover before mating, or worse, he would simply devour her whole. Even though he saved her with his tail, she still couldn't let her guard down.
"I'm going for a walk around the neighborhood to find some food. You stay here and behave yourself."
Guo Xiaoxiao remained silent, and Carlos didn't press her. His gaze was fixed on her, intense, making Guo Xiaoxiao feel uneasy. She cautiously gripped her black robe.
Carlos swam out of the cave and sealed it with stones.
After she left, Guo Xiaoxiao immediately used her psychic powers to contact Mickson.
Skill activation
[Mickelson, are you there?]
…
Meanwhile, Mickson and his team had pried open the rocks and entered the cave. Their search yielded nothing; the cave was deep and contained many entrances of varying sizes, leaving them with no idea where Guo Xiaoxiao had been abducted.
Fortunately, Randy and his team had a keen sense of smell and could quickly pinpoint the exact location.
They followed Randy all the way to Carlos's hiding place, but it was deserted; apart from Guo Xiaoxiao's discarded coat and animal skin, there was nothing left.
Damn snake beast! Lost in their search, the group didn't realize that Guo Xiaoxiao and her friends had already gone to the other side of the mountain.
If you keep looking in the opposite direction, you definitely won't find it.
A day and a night passed, and there was nothing. Randy and the others searched tirelessly without complaint.
The longer time dragged on, the less she was found, which could only mean that the snake beast had taken her to a very far place.
…
Mickelson heard Guo Xiaoxiao's call in his heart and responded to it.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here."
Guo Xiaoxiao: Where are you?
Mikkson: We're looking for you, but we can't find you. Did the snake beast hurt you?
Guo Xiaoxiao: No, I'm fine, but I don't know where this is.
Mickelson: What's around you?
Guo Xiaoxiao: There was nothing there but a cave. He went to find food, and I was locked in this cave.
Mickelson: Is it the cave we went into?
Guo Xiaoxiao: Probably not. This cave isn't very big; you can see right through it.
Mickson: Okay, Xiaoxiao, wait for me, I'll have Randy search for it.
Guo Xiaoxiao: Okay, I'll wait for you.
…
Guo Xiaoxiao cut off contact. Mickson was relieved to learn that Guo Xiaoxiao was safe and sound. He told Cang Jue the news and relayed it to Randy and the others.
The wolf beast was unaware of Guo Xiaoxiao's skills, so Abil asked.
"She's in a cave, why are you so sure?"
Mickelson said, "It's hard to explain clearly; I'm sure she was locked in another cave."
Upon hearing this, Randy immediately instructed Abier and the others to quickly track down Guo Xiaoxiao's scent.
Half a day passed, and still nothing. Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
If she really is in the cave, it means she is very far away from them.
