Chapter 311 - Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Game
Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Game Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Game The ground ten feet away from them suddenly exploded.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede, which seemed to have left, shot out like a shadow and fiercely bit the speeding Black Sword!
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed, and the Black Sword, a Mid-grade magic artifact, was bitten into two pieces by its sharp mandibles!
It seemed to realize it had been tricked.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede viciously raised its long body, its fierce eyes scanning the surroundings.
The pair of antennae on its head were continuously shaking, probing the surrounding sounds.
Xu Yining covered her mouth, preventing herself from letting out a terrified scream.
No.1 Shadow Guard had been right after all.
This Bronze-scaled Black Centipede was indeed ambushing them.
And it had patiently laid in wait for a full hour!
If it weren’t for No.1 Shadow Guard’s vigilance, the two of them would have fallen for it.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede, finding no movements after a long while, angrily twisted its massive body away.
The rumbling sound gradually faded and eventually disappeared.
It looked like it had truly left.
With her lips slightly parted, Xu Yining was just about to speak when Jiang Fan stopped her again.
He wrote: “It is pretending to lure us out!”
What?
Xu Yining’s eyes widened as she looked around, her scalp tingling with fear.
From the dark woods in the distance, a pair of antennae were poking out and shaking rapidly.
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
This Beast King was unbelievably cunning!
If she were facing it alone, she wouldn’t be able to escape its chase no matter how many lives she had.
The two of them held their breath and concentrated.
Both sides were testing each other’s patience.
Obviously, it was the Bronze-scaled Black Centipede that lost patience first.
Because its task was to assist Leng Gu in ambushing Xu Qingyang, not to waste time dealing with unknown humans here.
So, it patiently waited for an hour, but with no sign of prey.
It crawled out in a violent rage.
Its long tail fiercely struck the tree trunks along the way.
Ancient trees as thick as a man’s body were instantly shattered by its force.
Towering ancient trees fell one by one with a series of crashes.
What made Jiang Fan’s face darken even more.
One of the large trees, neither too far nor too close, came crashing towards their tree.
Crash——
A loud noise echoed as Jiang Fan’s tree was violently jolted!
The two couldn’t keep their footing.
They both fell from the tree.
Even though Jiang Fan quickly used his movement technique, making their landing as quiet as possible.
The antennae on the Bronze-scaled Black Centipede’s head suddenly shook violently, picking up the unusual sound of the prey landing.
It turned around, letting out an excited screeching sound.
It meant.
“I’ve found you!”
Its blood-red eyes locked onto Jiang Fan and Xu Yining.
The latter showed fear on her face, but bravely pulled out her sword.
Her voice trembled as she spoke the toughest words with the most trembling tone:
“No.1 Shadow Guard, you go first!”
Huh?
Jiang Fan was slightly stunned, glancing at Xu Yining in surprise.
In a critical moment, Xu Yining actually chose to sacrifice herself to protect others?
Was this still the proud and willful Xu Yining he knew?
If she had been this reasonable earlier.
Things might have turned out differently between them.
However, letting Xu Yining stay behind to cover the retreat while he escaped was not something Jiang Fan could do.
“You go first.”
Jiang Fan slowly drew his Sorrow Frost Sword, his gaze was serious but not fearful.
Xu Yining stubbornly said: “I told you to go!
Don’t argue!”
“That way, I won’t owe you anymore!”
Looking at the rapidly approaching gigantic centipede, she became more frightened and couldn’t even hold her sword steadily.
Her voice had a hint of sobbing.
Jiang Fan was speechless.
Scared to this extent, how could you be expected to cover the retreat?
You wouldn’t last a moment against the Bronze-scaled Black Centipede’s tail swipe.
He was about to speak but was stopped by Xu Yining’s words, which made his body slightly tremble.
“If you survive, go back to the Green Cloud Sect and tell my master of my death.”
“And also…”
“Tell Jiang Fan…
I’m sorry.”
With that, she pushed Jiang Fan away and said: “Go quickly!
Don’t look back!”
She gritted her teeth, holding her Three-foot Green Peak tightly with both hands, and charged at the Bronze-scaled Black Centipede.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede showed a look of contempt.
Its massive tail, leaving a series of afterimages, harshly swung at Xu Yining, who was rushing to her death.
Xu Yining felt an evil wind hitting her face, and her vision was filled with the tail covered in dense tiny claws.
Her heart filled with fear and despair, along with a hint of melancholy.
Was she really going to die like this?
There were still so many regrets…
Unconsciously, Jiang Fan’s figure appeared in her mind.
A touch of bitterness welled up in her heart.
Unfortunately, everything was over.
With a desperate smile, she swung her sword towards the enormous tail.
To end her own life.
Whoosh——
At the critical moment.
Her waist tightened.
Next, she felt the world spinning, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself back in No.1 Shadow Guard’s arms.
He was holding her, leaping from tree to tree.
“You…
why didn’t you listen?” Xu Yining cried out in panic.
If only No.1 Shadow Guard had been alone, with his excellent movement technique, there might have been hope to escape.
But taking her along, they definitely couldn’t escape.
Jiang Fan said with a focused gaze: “Don’t speak, hold this tight.”
He stuffed one end of the Heavenly Mountain Silk into Xu Yining’s palm.
At this moment.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede, missing its target with a tail swipe, flew into a rage out of shame.
Two tiny humans had cost it a full hour of hunting.
For it, this was already humiliating enough.
Rescuing someone in the middle of its attacks, that was a slap in its face!
Rumble——
It angrily chased after them.
Its massive body did not hinder its speed and agility at all.
It twisted rapidly on the ground.
ƝοѵǤ0.с0
In just a few breaths, it caught up with Jiang Fan and the others.
Jiang Fan’s face changed, he stepped on a branch, using it to change direction, darting to the left.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede was overly agile.
Its body was in mid-air, yet it could twist its upper body to change the direction of its attack.
Bam——
It crashed into the large tree Jiang Fan used for leverage, shattering it to pieces.
Large chunks of wood flew towards the two of them.
Jiang Fan quickly shielded Xu Yining in front of him, using his back to block all the wood.
Pop pop pop——
Amidst dense explosions, Jiang Fan’s back was instantly drenched in blood.
Even though he was wearing Top Grade armor that could withstand a Mid-stage Jiedan strike.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be having his flesh torn through the armor by the wood, he’d be a sieved mess.
Jiang Fan groaned in pain but gritted his teeth and continued using his movement technique to leap systematically through the forest.
Xu Yining noticed the stickiness on Jiang Fan’s back, and when she touched it, her hand was covered in blood.
She cried out in alarm: “You’re hurt!”
Jiang Fan endured the pain and said: “It’s nothing, just hold onto the silk tightly.”
“Our survival depends on it!”
Faced with a Mid-stage Jiedan Beast King head-on, he had no chance of winning.
Unless he used the Nascent Soul Strike Jade Talisman.
But that was a last resort.
Now, he wanted to test the power of the Heavenly Mountain Silk.
Xu Yining, looking at No.1 Shadow Guard who was so close to her, felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude.
She didn’t understand.
Why was No.1 Shadow Guard so good to her?
Risking his life to protect her.
Was it worth it?
While she was lost in thought, Jiang Fan had leapt several times.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede was in hot pursuit.
Several times, it almost bit them!
The situation was perilous!
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede felt some humiliation, as two small humans at the Foundation Establishment realm were.
Using an exceptionally powerful movement technique, making it chase them around like playing with wild monkeys!
It got angry.
A hundred pairs of tiny claws moved simultaneously.
The demon core within it released an enormous amount of demon power.
In an instant!
Its crawling speed increased tenfold!
Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Fan had just leapt, with no leverage for his feet, it suddenly darted forward!
Jiang Fan turned his head.
He only saw a shadow.
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede had caught up, its gaping maw inches away!
However, Jiang Fan did not panic.
Instead, a hint of joy appeared on his face!
He had been waiting for this opportunity!
The Bronze-scaled Black Centipede, catching a glimpse of Jiang Fan’s eyes, felt a sudden jolt in its heart.
Wait?
Something was off?
