However, there was no reason for them to let the prey that had delivered itself to their doorstep escape.
Chh chh chh. This was the sound of spider legs piercing.
Even if they safely left the encirclement, the Shadow Spider swarm relentlessly pursued them.
"Big Brother! Those beasts are chasing us!"
"Don't you dare look back! Split up and run like hell! We'll regroup ahead!"
Can Bao truly had no other choice; at this rate, total annihilation was only a matter of time!
Breaking into smaller groups was their only chance for survival!
At his command, Sato and the others no longer hesitated. After all, following their fastest Big Brother meant they would surely be the first to die. After exchanging glances, they each fled in different directions.
...
Ye Qiu held Zhu Ye Qing, moving through the jungle. Zhu Ye Qing, in his arms, could only see the trees rapidly receding.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, combined with Sharingan, allowed Ye Qiu to run freely in the complex terrain, without any fear of hitting trees!
So fast! A strange light appeared in Zhu Ye Qing's eyes. She discovered that this young man who saved her was even faster than her, an agility-attack system Spirit Master!
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she slowly raised her head to quietly observe him: his black, messy hair, his defined features, and those red eyes.
It was fine until she glimpsed a trace of blood-red in Ye Qiu's eyes, and it was as if she saw the most beautiful scenery of her life within them, bringing her peace and warmth.
Her arms couldn't help but tighten a bit, and her small face pressed against Ye Qiu's chest, quietly enjoying the fleeting moment of beauty she felt.
"We're here. Let's rest for a bit, shall we? Hmm?" After a long silence, Ye Qiu looked at the beauty in his arms with confusion.
He shook her with his arms, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," she said, blushing as she moved away from Ye Qiu's chest. Seeing him look at her like that, she added, "I'm just a little tired."
"Alright, as long as you're fine!"
Ye Qiu set her down, leaning against a large tree.
"You rest well here first."
"Mm!" She nodded gently.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu turned his back to her and used the Sharingan's X-ray vision to search. He saw many rabbits, but he was abstaining from rabbit meat, so he didn't consider them.
After a moment, he finally found a suitable prey: a hundred-year Spirit Beast, a Great Horned Ox!
It was perfect for roasting.
"Wait for me here!" With that, before Zhu Ye Qing could even respond, Ye Qiu darted out. In his line of sight, a large bat was also eyeing that ox!
If he arrived too late, his lunch would be gone!
No sooner had he left than Can Bao and the others had already regrouped nearby. Under the threat of death, their escape speed far exceeded their usual pace, which brought them closer to Ye Qiu and Zhu Ye Qing.
"Big Brother... I can't believe... this time, only four of us are left!" Sato's emotions were a bit low. His brothers, with whom he used to drink and eat meat, were all gone.
"It's all that bitch's fault!"
"Exactly! If we find her, we must ravage her properly!"
Xiong Ge and Xiong Di, the two brothers nearby, were also furious.
This time, Can Bao did not correct their words. A team of thirty people, now only four remained. He didn't feel much better than the others!
His cold voice slowly uttered, "Then it shall be as you say!"
Ding ding! A faint metallic clinking sound came from Can Bao's waist.
"Heh heh... that bitch has appeared!" Can Bao showed a cruel smile as he looked at the chaotic flying bees inside the bell in his hand.
"Great! I'll make sure she dies!" Xiong Ge's rough voice carried excitement!
"Follow me!" Can Bao led the way, running in Zhu Ye Qing's direction.
The other three exchanged glances, seeing desire, excitement, and hatred in each other's eyes.
The bees in the bell only ate their specially made honey. For this operation, they had made the bitch's maid add something to her bathwater.
Zhu Ye Qing, still resting against the tree, was completely unaware of the approaching danger until the enemies were right in front of her!
"Big Brother, these little bees keep buzzing, where is that bitch exactly?"
A rough voice came from behind the tree, sending a cold sweat down her back.
'Damn it, they actually caught up!'
Gritting her teeth, she was about to get up. "Ugh!" The pain in her left leg made her cry out. She quickly covered her mouth, standing dazed in place.
"Heh heh... I think I know where she is! Right, my esteemed Second Miss!"
Whoosh! As soon as the words fell, a dark figure flew out from behind the tree!
Zhu Ye Qing also promptly activated her Spirit. Unfortunately, how could a mere one-ring Spirit Grandmaster with low health be a match for a Spirit Ancestor!
"Ugh!" In an instant, Can Bao grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up!
"Hahaha... Big Brother is still the best!" The three others followed, especially Xiong Ge and Xiong Di, whose eyes were already gleaming with malice!
Clutching her neck, Can Bao finally smiled, "Second Miss, you've made us search quite hard, haven't you!"
"Pah! You group of running dogs!" She was choked, unable to breathe, and tried to pry his hand off, but was powerless, her eyes showing hatred.
"Heh heh... Running dogs?" Can Bao sneered, and his other hand rose.
Splat! Thump.
Zhu Ye Qing fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, a fresh red handprint on her face.
"Ah!" Zhu Ye Qing screamed. Can Bao stomped on her left leg, grinding down hard, completely disregarding the seeping blood.
"Running dogs? Do dogs not deserve to live? Do you know how many of my brothers died because of you!"
Zhu Ye Qing gritted her teeth. After just one cry, she stopped. She would not allow herself to show even a trace of weakness in front of her enemies!
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, and her speech was trembling slightly, "They deserved it!"
"Deserved it?! Very good, very good indeed!"
"Ah, ugh~" She tried her best to suppress her voice, holding back tears.
With every 'very good' Can Bao uttered, the force on his foot increased by a few points.
"Big Brother, I think you should let me have some fun first!" Xiong Di rubbed his hands, repeatedly appraising the beauty lying on the ground. The direct daughter of a family... this was something he dared not even dream of!
Can Bao coldly swept his gaze over Xiong Di and nodded, "Be careful not to play her to death; there are others waiting in line!"
"Ah, hahaha! Big Brother truly understands us two brothers!" Xiong Ge laughed loudly.
Watching Xiong Di approach her,
"No, no!" Zhu Ye Qing pushed herself backward with both hands.
Seeing her finally show fear, Can Bao also sneered with satisfaction. Hmph! Acting? What are you acting for!
"Ah!" Xiong Di directly grabbed her hair and lifted her up.
"Esteemed Second Miss, us two humble brothers will serve you well!" He deliberately emphasized the word 'esteemed'.
Rip! Her sleeve was torn off.
Tears flowed from her eyes, and her tongue was already placed between her teeth.
"Hahahahaha... This is me enjoying you on behalf of your fiancé, the prince!"
The laughter of the few men filled the surroundings.
Finally, hearing the words 'fiancé', her heart was filled only with disappointment and despair! Why, why did he abandon her to face all of this alone?
"I say!" Suddenly, a voice rang out.
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Ye Qing's eyes, then quickly faded. How could Ye Qiu be a match for them?
"Who's there? Who dares to disturb your Grandpa Xiong's enjoyment!" He held the woman with one hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Can Bao and the others also looked around.
"You big men bullying a young girl, isn't that a bit too much!"
Ye Qiu's figure emerged from behind a tree. Although he didn't know what grudge or enmity existed, he still chose to lend a helping hand.
Just for his own peace of mind! He couldn't stand by and watch someone be defiled!
