"Slow down, slow down!"
Shen Miao gave him a disdainful look. "You can't do this. Your stamina is so bad. You should really train."
Xue Mo thought with a bitter face, "He's normal, but Shen Miao is abnormal. As a female beast, not only is her ability so heaven-defying, but she's also so strong."
They're practically leaving no way for the male beasts to survive!
"I really can't walk anymore. I don't think that flood will really happen. We've run this far, we should be okay, right?" Xue Mo said between breaths.
Shen Miao coldly refused, "No, this is still the valley. We can only leave the valley."
Xuemo had no choice but to continue forward.
The two walked on for a while longer, but there was still no sign of the flash flood. Xue Mo's feet were hurting terribly, and she wanted to slack off again, so she said, "Chen Miao, can we stop and rest for a bit? We've been walking for so long, that flash flood definitely can't catch up with us. You don't believe me? Look... my god!"
The last two words suddenly rose in pitch, carrying a sense of terror.
"What, what is that?" Xue Mo's finger trembled as she pointed at the surging floodwaters behind her, completely bewildered.
It's true!
There really was a flood.
The roar of the raging flood was deafening, like a pack of ferocious beasts unleashed from their cages. Shen Miao's expression changed instantly. Damn, they've arrived so quickly.
Thankfully, they escaped.
If it had been even a fraction later, it might have been swallowed up by the flood.
She climbed onto the nearest large rock, and judging from the situation that the flood wouldn't come over and they could get through safely, Shen Miao felt a little relieved. She then pulled Xue Mo, who was still in a daze, up with her.
"What are you standing there for? Do you want to wait for the flood to sweep you away?!" Shen Miao scolded.
Xue Mo opened her mouth wide and stammered, "No, no, this, how could this happen so suddenly? This isn't right, Shen Miao, how did you know there was going to be a flood?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Shen Miao thought to herself, but said aloud, "I have extraordinary abilities and can sense it. Is that not enough?"
"Okay, okay, you're amazing. If it weren't for you today, I would be dead. Shen Miao, thank you." Xue Mo suddenly looked at Shen Miao with deep affection.
Shen Miao got goosebumps from his antics and pushed Xue Mo's face away. "Alright, stop talking about this and just stay put."
Xue Mo pouted and obediently retreated.
But he remained quiet for only a few minutes before looking around, his eyes darting back and forth. Suddenly, he spotted something and exclaimed in delight, "Chen Miao, those are spirit fruits! There are spirit fruits over there!"
Shen Miao was startled and quickly asked, "What spirit fruit? What is that?"
"It's a fruit that can enhance spiritual power. It's said to be very hard to find. I've always wanted to find it, but I couldn't. I never expected to see it here." Xue Mo's voice was full of surprise.
"Where is it?" Shen Miao asked hesitantly.
If it's something that good, then it shouldn't be missed.
As a result, Xue Mo pointed to a tree under the rocks, and indeed a red fruit grew at the top of that tree.
However, the tree had been mostly buried by the flash flood. If they wanted to pick the fruit, they would have to go into the water, which was too risky, and Shen Miao absolutely disagreed.
“Why would it be down there? We can’t reach it from down there, so let’s forget about it,” Shen Miao said.
Xue Mo didn't listen and started looking around for a way to get down to the tree. Coincidentally, the rock was covered with vines, and by following the vines down, she could pick the fruit.
Xue Mo immediately perked up and said to Shen Miao, "I have a plan, just you wait."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Miao quickly tried to stop her, but Xue Mo was faster and had already slid down the vine.
Shen Miaoxin was on the verge of a heart attack.
Her eyes were fixed on Xue Mo, as if afraid that something might happen, or that she might accidentally fall into the flash flood.
"Be careful," Shen Miao said, her voice tense.
Xue Mo, seemingly unafraid of death, looked up at her and made a gesture indicating that everything was alright.
Shen Miao almost pinched his philtrum.
This guy, you could say he's brave, but he was so cowardly when facing two high-level magical beasts; you could say he's timid, but he's also incredibly timid.
The water was swift and rapid, and even Shen Miao found it pleasing to the eye, yet Xue Mo still had the courage to go down.
"Alright, we're here. Wait here, I'll pick it and give it to you." Xue Mo smiled and reached for the fruit.
Just then, a flash flood suddenly rushed out, and Xue Mo had no choice but to temporarily avoid it. After the flood subsided, he discovered that the fruit was gone.
At first, Xue Mo thought the fruit was blocked by the flood and reached out to touch it randomly. But Shen Miao, standing on the rock, could see more clearly that the fruit had obviously been washed away.
"Xuemo, that's enough, come up quickly, the fruit has been washed away, hurry up and get up," Shen Miao called out.
Nothing is more valuable than human life.
However, just as she finished shouting those words, she saw Xue Mo decisively let go and jump directly into the flash flood. Shen Miao was stunned for a moment before she suddenly cried out, "Xue Mo!"
She searched for Xue Mo's figure in the water, trying to find even a trace of him, but there was nothing. Xue Mo disappeared as soon as he entered the water.
Shen Miao was frantic with worry.
This madman, does he even know that these flash floods can be deadly? Others would be trying to escape in time, so where does he get the confidence to jump right in?
Is he really tired of living?
Shen Miao was both anxious and helpless. She kept cursing under her breath, but her eyes never left the water. In her heart, she cried out, "God help me, please don't let anything happen!"
The flash flood surged forward, and Xue Mo was certainly no longer where she was. Chen Miao jumped off the rocks and searched along both sides. She was running, afraid that she would be too slow to catch up with Xue Mo.
He ran while shouting Xue Mo's name.
The flash flood surged and undulated, carrying withered branches and leaves. The water was murky and turbid. Most importantly, the area beneath the flash flood was filled with rocks, and one could easily be knocked unconscious by a sudden impact.
Shen Miao was afraid that when Xue Mo emerged, he would already be a corpse.
She ran quickly along the shore, her voice hoarse from shouting. It started to rain, and Shen Miao's face was wet, whether from the rain or from tears of fear, it was hard to tell.
"You idiot!"
Shen Miao tripped and fell to the ground. She slammed her fist on the ground and cursed fiercely.
If you weren't an idiot, who would do something like that?
Shen Miao looked at the raging torrent of water and felt like crying but had no tears.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of a black head out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, it was Xue Mo. He seemed to be clinging to a piece of driftwood, but the water was too high, and the driftwood was bobbing up and down, unable to stop.
Xue Mo, however, seemed to have already fainted.
Shen Miao shouted, "Xue Mo!"
With no response from the other party, Shen Miao gritted her teeth, suddenly jumped down, and tried her best to reach towards Xue Mo.
She was so close, so very close, to reaching Xue Mo!
