Chapter 200 Rescue

The rainstorm seemed to be completely submerging the Mozi Mountain. Part of the mountain had already begun to collapse. The people who had been gathered together before were now scattered. The broken branches were blown everywhere by the strong wind, and anyone who was not careful would be hit.

Jiang Wu heard Ji Ruoxuan's voice shouting at him at the top of his lungs through the endless rain. The other party was blown to and fro by the strong wind and was desperately hugging a big tree. His whole body was covered with rain and mud, and his eyes were closed. He just shouted Jiang Wu's name in fear and said something vaguely. Jiang Wu guessed that it was probably for help or something like that.

The soul floating in the golden ball admired this scene leisurely and contentedly, "They will only call your name when they are in danger, and once they are out of danger, they wish you dead."

Jiang Wu ignored him and slowly raised his hand. The golden-red spell flowing out from his fingertips was much slower than before, but it still formed a golden-red chain.

The sound of the wind and rain was too loud, but Ji Ruoxuan still saw a ball of golden-red light suddenly appear in the darkness in front of him. It was like a red snake with stars, stained with a faint golden edge, and it attacked him in an instant. He had no time to react, so he just stared at the light as it came to him, but did not attack him, but flew up over his head.

He suddenly looked up and saw that his "red snake" had pierced through a sturdy tree. The roots of the tree were tangled and twisted, and it was obvious that it had been uprooted by the wind. The most terrifying thing was that the tree was only half a foot away from his head, and the drooping branches even hung over his head.

It would only take half a second for the tree to smash his head.

Ji Ruoxuan's face turned pale instantly.

The golden-red chain shattered the tree and flew back to its owner. Ji Ruoxuan finally saw the figure hidden in the dark. He immediately shouted excitedly, "Brother Jiang——"

Before he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came to his ears, muffled, like the groan of a sleeping beast in the mountain, and then Yang Chen's extremely frightened voice came from behind: "The mountain collapsed!"

A crack appeared on the side of the North Peak standing not far away, and a large chunk of the mountain fell off completely, sliding down to the forest below, rushing towards them like a rushing ochre-colored stream.

Everyone was shocked, but Jiang Wu noticed a small white object exposed under the collapsed side of the North Peak. He turned around and was about to walk towards that side, but someone grabbed his sleeve.

"Go that way!" Ji Ruoxuan appeared out of nowhere, with a face covered in mud and rain, and grabbed him tightly. He was blown all over the place by the wind, but he still wanted to pull him back.

Jiang Wu didn't know what he was thinking, but he staggered forward. At this time, Bi Yan and Guan Qi also rushed over, anxiously grabbing Jiang Wu's other arm and wrist, and shouted, "Hurry up! There's a landslide!"

The three men seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of them had just smashed a tree with a diameter of half a meter in front of everyone. Fearing that he could not escape, they each pulled him one by one to take him out.

He Yunxing was standing not far away with Yang Chen and others, waving at them, signaling them to leave quickly.

Jiang Wu suddenly realized that the cries he had just heard were not from them asking him for help, but from them looking for him. They thought he was lost.

A wonderful feeling arose in his heart, making his heart, which had been calm for several months since he left Linhai, beat a little stronger.

How strange, he thought, that these people should want to save him first, instead of asking him for help.

"The roads down the mountain are all blocked. We can't get out."

His voice was very calm, not noticeable in the sound of the storm, but Ji Ruoxuan and the others saw something from his expression. Guan Qi's pale face showed anger, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"

Ji Ruoxuan did not dare to move, but the usually polite Bi Yan took a step ahead of them and directly grabbed Jiang Wu's arm and pulled him forward. Jiang Wu staggered again, with a look of confusion on his face, but he still tried his best to explain, "I will not die--"

Bi Yan's expression was unusually cold, and his voice was clear and trembling amid the sound of wind, rain, and mountain collapse. "You are not a god, so why are you so confident?!"

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he saw his own reflection in Bi Yan's angry eyes. He still had long black hair, but was wearing khaki clothes, no longer the gorgeous clothes he wore a thousand years ago. The people standing in front of him were not the soldiers in front of the Wujiang Palace, but a few people in this world who were so ordinary that they could not be more ordinary.

Mysterious fate told him that if it weren't for this variety show, they would have no intersection, but at this moment these people held him tightly, telling him that he was no longer a god, but an ordinary person who could be injured and die like them.

He suddenly understood why people, who knew nothing and could not see their future destiny, still persisted in moving forward to the end of their lives, happily meeting strangers and making friends, because life is the sum of different people appearing at different times.

The roar behind them was getting closer and closer. Ji Ruoxuan didn't know whether he was nervous or anxious. The hand that was holding Jiang Wu's wrist was left with red marks. Jiang Wu pushed his hand away helplessly, turned around and faced the mudslide behind him in the shocked eyes of everyone.

A golden-red light appeared above the vast mountain, like a giant sword that appeared out of thin air, silently splitting the land beneath its feet, leaving a one-meter-deep abyss. Rocks and mudslides caused by rain all poured into this bottomless abyss.

The rain suddenly became lighter and the wind was no longer so strong. Jiang Wu felt the power deep in the mountains slowly weakening. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he staggered forward.

"Jiang Wu!"

While the others were still in shock at the crack that appeared in the air beneath their feet, they saw Jiang Wu's face suddenly turn frighteningly pale, and he couldn't even stand steadily. They quickly reached out to help him, but a small golden ball suddenly jumped out from somewhere and flew towards the North Peak at a very fast speed, laughing like a man's madness as it flew -

"Hahaha! I knew you would be soft-hearted! The imperial tomb is mine! I'm going to dig out his corpse, whip it, and then expose it to the elements—ow!"

The golden ball had run dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, but was hit hard to the ground by a golden-red chain that suddenly appeared behind it. After a wailing sound, the golden ball instantly drilled out of the mud and flew forward. This time it didn't make a sound and soon disappeared.

Jiang Wu was completely out of strength and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Brother Jiang!" Ji Ruoxuan shouted in panic.

He Yunxing, Yang Chen and others also rushed over to inquire about the situation. Jiang Wuji shook his head slowly. Fine and dense raindrops slid from his forehead to his chin, wetting his collar.

Everyone suddenly realized something. They seemed to have been pulled out of the water after the heavy rain, but most of Jiang Wu's clothes were dry, and even his head and face were only covered with the rain that had just fallen. It was as if he had lost some barrier, and the rain mercilessly hit his face, hair, and clothes.

Ji Ruoxuan felt panic inexplicably, and his voice trembled, "Jiang...Brother Jiang..."

He shouted a few words but didn't know what to say, because Jiang Wu didn't seem to have any external injuries except that his face looked a little ugly. But he inexplicably felt that his brother Jiang seemed to be dying.

Yang Chen was also panicking, but the three members of the medical team were dizzy and scattered, and one of them had a broken sternum and could hardly save himself, let alone save Jiang Wu.

However, there was even worse news waiting for them. The road they came from was blocked by collapsed roads on both sides. The only detour was also very likely to have a secondary landslide. The signal of the communication equipment was intermittent, and the phone call for help could not be reached.

Ji Ruoxuan hugged Jiang Wu's arm tightly, his eyes red with panic, "Then what should I do, my brother Jiang is sick..."

Yang Chenjian looked dejected, thinking to himself, let alone you, Brother Jiang, there were several seriously injured people just dug out over there, and I don’t know if they can survive. Su Mu’s right hand was broken by a tree, and if he doesn’t get treatment he will probably die. And if they are trapped down there they will also die.

The wind and rain continued. Jiang Wu faced the falling rain and looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds, as if he was waiting for something.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, "There's a signal!"

This sound was like a shot of cardiac stimulant to everyone. Yang Chen immediately started to contact for rescue. The cameramen still picked up their cameras and started working diligently.

However, the signal was intermittent and the call could not be made, so everyone was waiting anxiously.

At this moment, a familiar cry suddenly sounded amidst the sound of wind and rain overhead. Everyone looked up and saw a pure white eagle slowly flying in the sky covered with dark clouds, and following closely behind the eagle was actually a helicopter.

Hope rose in everyone's hearts again, and they waved frantically at the helicopter in the sky. But they soon realized that it was unnecessary, because the huge white eagle soon spread its wings and glided towards them. The helicopter in the sky also circled a few times and then slowly landed in the woods opposite.

The sound of the helicopter's propellers got closer and closer, then became quiet. Soon, flashlights were shone on them from the distant woods. Everyone cheered, thinking that help had arrived.

Only Yang Chen looked at the rescue call on his mobile phone which still had not been connected with a blank face, his heart full of doubts.

The light in the forest finally became clear, and a tall figure was walking towards them against the light. Everyone was stunned and confused. Where were the other members of the rescue team?

The unspoken question turned into a shocked realization when I saw the person approaching.

It was a handsome and noble face. Even though his whole body was soaked by the rain, his pants and shoes were stained by mud, and even his hair was messy, everyone still recognized him.

Han Zhong, the president of Huayue Group and the heir of the Linhai Han family, walked out of the forest wearing leather shoes and a white shirt, looking shabby but with bright eyes.

He walked through the crowd, passed by each of them, stepped on the muddy ground, came to the person at the back of the crowd, and hugged him tightly.

It's like finding the only treasure in my life.
