Chapter 1339
is almost ready to be used.
"What are you all standing there for?! Run!!"
After saying that, he was the first to run like a frightened rabbit towards the passage he had created with his "qi"!
Long Yuxuan and Xiao Muyang suddenly realized what was happening. Ignoring their limp bodies, they mustered all their strength and followed closely behind Xie Feiyu, running desperately towards the outside of the valley!
The three of them ran with all their might, without even daring to look back. They just kept running up the hillside, desperately trying to catch their breath! They ran for more than ten minutes until they finally broke out of the despairing valley and climbed a bare mountaintop. Only then did the three of them collapse to the ground as if their bones had been removed, their chests heaving violently as they gasped for breath, as if they were trying to breathe their lungs out.
"Oh my god... what just happened... what just happened... was so... so scary..."
Xiao Muyang was still shaken, his voice trembling. He felt that he had never seen more snakes in his entire life than he had seen in those few minutes.
"I...I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child..."
Xie Feiyu's face was pale, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I...I don't even dare to dream about it...it's too disgusting, too terrifying!"
Although Long Yuxuan's fear of snakes wasn't that strong, the tactile sensation and visual impact of being entangled by thousands of snakes still left him feeling quite frightened.
He caught his breath and suddenly looked at Xie Feiyu with burning eyes.
"Feiyu! What was that you just used? The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?! When did you become skilled in that?!"
Xie Feiyu collapsed to the ground, explaining weakly.
"What 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms'... that's my dad... He practiced qigong in his early years, and later somehow awakened superpowers, the ability to emit these 'qi blasts'... I inherited that from him..."
"Holy crap! Genetic superpowers? That's awesome!"
Xiao Muyang looked at him with envy.
"Then can you conjure up a dragon?"
That's what you call the real Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!
Xie Feiyu rolled his eyes.
"What are you thinking? Conjuring a dragon? I'm lucky if I can even release this 'qi' right now! I can barely launch an attack outside my body, let alone transform into a human form."
He paused, then looked at Long Yuxuan with curiosity.
"Yu Xuan, what about you? Don't just talk about us, what's your superpower? You always kept me in suspense when I asked you before."
Long Yuxuan gave a mysterious smile and waved his hand.
"My ability... is rather special, but I'm not in good shape right now and can't use it. I'll definitely show you another day!"
He was indeed tired and hungry, and the conditions for using his abilities were somewhat...unique, making it unsuitable to display them at this moment.
Xie Feiyu didn't press further. Looking down at the still unsettling forest below the mountain, he asked with concern.
"So... what do we do now? Should we keep going?"
Long Yuxuan mustered his spirits, got up from the ground, patted the dirt and grass clippings off his body, and joked in a lighthearted manner.
"Walk!
"Of course we're leaving! With your 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms' technique, what are we afraid of? Even a swarm of snakes wouldn't be enough for you to swat with one slap!"
Xie Feiyu shook his head with a bitter face.
"Don't flatter me. My 'Qi Gong Wave' consumes a lot of energy. After using it once, I need to recover... uh, I need to rest and recover for about half an hour before I can use it again."
Moreover, the greater the power, the greater the energy consumption and the longer the recovery time.
Upon hearing this, Long Yuxuan sighed.
"Looks like our abilities are still at a pretty basic level. But that's okay, it won't affect our survival! Come on! The beauties are still waiting for us on the yacht!"
He waved and told the two to continue on their way.
The three of them helped each other to their feet, and dragging their exhausted, hungry, and thirsty bodies, they continued on their way westward.
However, after walking only a few meters, the three of them started to rumble loudly again.
"I'm starving... I'm starving..."
Xiao Muyang clutched his stomach, feeling as if his chest was pressed against his back.
"In this primeval forest, there isn't even a wild fruit to be seen. Where are we going to find food?"
Xie Feiyu was so hungry he was seeing stars.
Long Yuxuan licked his chapped lips and said helplessly.
"There's no other way but to tough it out! Once we find a way out, we'll have food!"
They could only struggle forward by sheer willpower, tormented by hunger. After walking for about half an hour, Long Yuxuan estimated, based on the speed and general direction, that they had probably covered about half the distance.
At this moment, the three of them were in a sorry state. Their brand-name sportswear was torn to shreds by tree branches and covered with mud, grass juice and unknown stains. Their faces were streaked with black and white, and their hair was messy. They looked exactly like three little beggars who had just crawled out of some cave.
Just then, Long Yuxuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and quickly raised his hand to make a "shh" gesture to silence people. His expression instantly became extremely serious.
Xiao Muyang, who was following behind him, felt a jolt in his heart. His voice trembled with nervousness as he asked in a low voice.
"Yu...Yu Xuan, what's wrong? There are...snakes again?"
Long Yuxuan didn't turn around, his eyes fixed on the dense grass not far ahead, and spoke in an extremely soft voice, almost a whisper.
"Don't make a sound... There's something in the bushes... It's huge..."
His words hadn't even fully faded, as if to confirm his premonition—
"Awooo—!!"
With a deep, wild roar, two huge and agile figures with yellow and black mottled tattoos, like two golden lightning bolts, suddenly sprang out from the waist-high grass! They blocked their path a dozen meters in front of them!
Those were two large, muscular, and fierce-looking adult Siberian tigers!
They lowered their bodies slightly, their thick tails swaying slowly in the air like steel whips, and their blood-red mouths, exuding a foul stench, opened slightly, revealing sharp fangs that sent chills down one's spine!
"Old... tiger?!"
Xie Feiyu and Xiao Muyang's eyes widened instantly, almost popping out of their sockets!
They had only ever seen this king of beasts from outside the glass of the zoo before; they had never faced it so closely and without any cover.
The overwhelming sense of terrifying oppression made their legs tremble uncontrollably as if they had been electrocuted!
However, misfortunes never come singly!
Before they could recover from the shock of the two tigers, from another patch of grass nearby, seven or eight large, dark gray wolves suddenly emerged with a few whooshing sounds, baring their teeth and drool dripping from their mouths!
They formed a semi-encirclement, subtly blocking the three's flanks and retreat routes!
Whether it's the tiger's domineering gaze or the wolf pack's greedy, bloodthirsty eyes, they all clearly convey one message—they haven't eaten for many days, and these three "two-legged creatures" in front of them, though they look a bit thin, are at least alive, a delicious breakfast bestowed by heaven that they cannot miss!
Cold sweat instantly soaked the backs of the three of them, sliding down their foreheads.
They clearly felt the threat of death!
This is no joke, it's a real life-or-death crisis!
Long Yuxuan's heart pounded in his chest. He clenched his fists tightly, his mind racing, searching for a solution. Run? Judging from the tiger and wolf's posture, how could he possibly outrun them? Fight? Xie Feiyu's "qi blast" was still cooling down, Xiao Muyang's self-healing ability could only save his own life, not kill, and his own abilities…
In a flash, he saw that the two Siberian tigers and the wolf pack seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and almost simultaneously began to lower their bodies, tense their hind leg muscles, and make preparations to pounce!
We can't hesitate any longer!
Long Yuxuan mustered all his strength and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Run! Run!"
Like startled birds, the three turned around and ran as fast as they had come from!
The two Siberian tigers and seven or eight hungry wolves, who were poised to pounce, were not about to let their "breakfast" escape. They shot out of the grass like arrows, bringing a stench with them, and chased after the three of them madly!
Long Yuxuan ran at the very back, his legs feeling like they were filled with lead as he desperately tried to move them, while he looked back in horror.
The tiger and wolf pack were moving at an astonishing speed, rapidly closing the distance between them as they pounced on their limbs!
Those blood-red eyes and drooling fangs were clearly visible!
He knew that at this speed, they had no chance of escaping! In just a few more breaths, they would be caught and torn to shreds!
A surge of despair and ruthlessness welled up in my heart at the same time!
"Damn it! Let's fight them!"
Long Yuxuan abruptly stopped his frantic run, forcefully turning his body to face the rapidly charging pack of beasts.
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body!
The light was not an illusion, but rather enveloped him as if it were a tangible substance, as if the Buddha had descended from mythology, and it also carried an indescribable wild and domineering aura!
A visible shockwave emanated from him and spread outwards, blowing dust and grass clippings everywhere!
His once smooth hair now stood on end, each strand shimmering with a dazzling golden light!
This look, this aura, it's just like a "Super Saiyan" transformed from an anime!
At this moment, the two Siberian tigers had already pounced within meters of him! They were carrying a foul stench and immense force!
However, Long Yuxuan, in his transformed state, did not retreat even half a step, but instead charged towards the tiger!
"Bang—!!!"
A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a drum, exploded out!
Facing the first tiger that pounced from the air, Long Yuxuan neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he lowered his shoulders and sat down, delivering a fierce "Iron Mountain Lean" that sent his golden shoulder crashing solidly into the tiger's hundreds-of-pounds-weight body!
The massive tiger's body seemed to have been hit by a speeding truck, letting out a painful whimper, flying backward four or five meters before crashing heavily to the ground, rolling several times!
Almost at the same time, another tiger's claws swung down on Long Yuxuan's head!
Long Yuxuan shifted his feet, his figure moving with ghostly speed, narrowly avoiding the tiger's claws that were powerful enough to split rocks!
At the same time, his golden hands, gleaming like iron pincers, shot out with lightning speed and precisely grabbed the tiger's right hind leg!
"Drink up—!"
Long Yuxuan roared again, exerting his strength from his waist and abdomen, and his arms were filled with terrifying power. He actually grabbed the tiger, which weighed several hundred pounds, and spun it 360 degrees in place as if he were swinging a broken sack!
"Woo-hoo—!"
The tiger let out a terrified and painful roar, its massive body being flung straight by centrifugal force!
Then, Long Yuxuan suddenly let go!
The unfortunate tiger was thrown out like a cannonball, tracing an arc.
With a loud thud, it crashed into a large tree not far away, causing leaves to fall in a rustling sound before finally sliding to the ground.
The two tigers were struck hard one after the other, but because of their thick skin and the fact that Long Yuxuan was unable to use his full strength in time, they were not fatally injured.
But he was also stunned by the impact and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion as he looked at Long Yuxuan, seemingly not understanding why this little "two-legged beast" had suddenly become so terrifying.
Just after throwing out the second tiger, the dazzling golden light on Long Yuxuan's body receded rapidly like a tide, and his upright hair softened and returned to its original state.
His face instantly turned pale, and his breathing became much heavier, clearly indicating that this transformation state had taken a huge toll on him.
He dared not linger in the fight. Seeing that he had temporarily intimidated the two tigers, he immediately shouted with his last bit of strength towards Xiao Muyang and Xie Feiyu, who had already run some distance away.
"Run!!!"
Then, he turned around and staggered after the two of them.
The three of them met up and dared not linger. They didn't even bother to figure out which way to go, and only knew to run for their lives away from the pack of wild beasts!
Twenty minutes later, the three of them finally collapsed from exhaustion in a relatively safe clearing in the woods. Like fish out of water, they gasped for breath with their mouths wide open, their hearts pounding as if they were about to explode.
"Mom...Damn it...I almost...I almost died there..."
Xie Feiyu clutched his still-aching chest, his heart pounding with lingering fear, his face drained of color.
"That's...that's terrifying..."
Xiao Muyang collapsed to the ground, feeling his limbs trembling uncontrollably.
"If it weren't for Yu Xuan...we...we wouldn't even have been able to leave behind a complete corpse..."
Long Yuxuan was also panting heavily, and said with a wry smile.
"No...don't say anymore...that speed just now, I felt like I broke the world record for 100 meters in ten seconds...even so...I almost didn't make it..."
After resting for a while, the three of them finally caught their breath. Long Yuxuan struggled to sit up, looked around at the almost identical trees, and frowned as he asked.
Where have we ended up?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyang forced himself to get up, found a relatively tall tree, and climbed up it using both hands and feet, straining to see into the distance. After a moment, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise and uncertainty.
"what?
"There...it looks like there's a wall over there? A very high wall!"
"A wall?"
Long Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly found a tree and climbed up.
When he saw the familiar, towering wall in the distance, he was completely stunned!
Isn't that the training center they just left yesterday?! Although it's still several hundred meters away, he would never mistake the outline of the building and the style of the walls! (End of Chapter)
