Escape Training (3)

"Grandpa Nick said this was escape training, which means these giant wolves aren't something we can handle. Even if we used up all our strength, it wouldn't do any good. They'd catch us in the end." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then said, "And once we're caught, we'll have failed our task."

"Mm, that makes sense, but even if we want to run, we can't get away," Ren Fang said helplessly, nodding.

They had tried to run earlier, but the giant wolves were not only fast, there was also nothing that could stop them. They simply couldn't escape.

"That's right, we can't escape on the ground, but what about the air?" Fanxin looked up and said with a smile.

"Oh, right! Giant wolves can only run on the ground; they can't fly in the air. If we could fly, we could escape their clutches," Ren Fang said, nodding at once.

"That's right. As long as we can fly, we'll be fine." Fanxin looked at Ren Fang's Little Black Cat and asked, "How's your Flight Armor coming along? Have you finished it?"

"Not yet," Little Black Cat said, shaking its head.

"That's a problem." Fanxin frowned deeply. He and Ren Fang were human and had no wings, so they couldn't fly at all. If they wanted to fly, they needed something to help them.

Little Black Cat could make something to help them fly. If it had finished, they could escape high into the sky.

But Little Black Cat hadn't finished making it yet, which left him in a difficult spot.

"But it won't take much longer. I've already made most of the parts and am assembling them now. If you can buy me half an hour, that'll be enough," Little Black Cat said at once when it saw Fanxin frowning.

"Oh, is that so? It'll be a little difficult, but Ren Fang and I will stall them as long as we can," Fanxin said with a slight nod.

"Then I'll leave my body in your care." Little Black Cat nodded and hesitated no longer. Its mind sank into the Mechanical Space, and it began assembling the Flight Armor's parts.

"Ren Fang, let's start moving around the forest. We'll lure these giant wolves as close to those towering trees as possible. That way, it'll take them some time to destroy the trees, and we can buy Little Black Cat enough time," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang nodded.

Fanxin immediately prepared himself. Once he saw his chance, he dashed into the distance. Ren Fang was unwilling to fall behind and followed close on his heels.

As soon as they left, the giant wolves gave chase again, overbearing and savage, unstoppable.

Fanxin and Ren Fang ran toward the tall trees, then immediately changed direction when the giant wolves charged at them.

The giant wolves were charging too fast, and their momentum was too great for them to turn easily. In the end, they all crashed into the tall trees.

This time, however, they weren't so lucky. Though they were sturdy, those tall trees weren't made of tofu. They were sturdy too, and the giant wolves suffered quite a bit.

Fortunately, they weren't made of flesh and blood. Otherwise, even if they hadn't died, they would have been seriously injured.

Fanxin and Ren Fang didn't hesitate and continued doing the same.

"Heh, you finally know how to use some tricks, kid. That means you understand what I was getting at. Good, good." Beneath a large tree, Grandpa Nick suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to himself with a smile.

He could control the entire island, so he didn't need to follow them to command the giant wolves. He only needed to control them from here.

Seeing that Fanxin had stopped fighting the giant wolves and was cleverly using the tall trees to block them, leaving them helpless, he smiled knowingly.

He had deliberately made the giant wolves so strong to make Fanxin understand that they were invincible and that all they could do was run. If Fanxin could hunt down the giant wolves, then the training would be meaningless.

Because if they could hunt them down, they wouldn't need to run at all.

"But do you think you'll be safe if you escape into the sky?" Grandpa Nick said with a smile. "Real wolves can't fly, but the giant wolves under my control can! Children, I'll make you feel despair."

He had heard every word of Fanxin and Ren Fang's conversation, so he knew Fanxin's plan. But he had already decided he wouldn't let Fanxin escape so easily.

He was going to drive Fanxin and Ren Fang into a dead end. He wanted them both to fight for survival in despair. Only then would they not give up easily when they encountered such a predicament in the future.

He planned to install a pair of wings on the giant wolves, allowing them to pursue Fanxin and Ren Fang into the sky and drive them completely into a dead end.

"Enjoy yourselves!" Grandpa Nick said with a faint smile. Then he closed his eyes, leaned against a large tree, and went to sleep.

"Half an hour's up, Little Black. Are you done yet?" Fanxin asked, checking the time. The giant wolves were attacking more and more fiercely. If they didn't get away soon, they'd be in trouble. Ren Fang was very anxious too. As she ran, she made earth walls to block the giant wolves' attacks.

The earth walls were incredibly hard, but without her controlling them, they could hardly withstand the giant wolves' charge. They could only hold the wolves back for a moment before the wolves broke through.

"It's done. Catch!" Little Black Cat shouted.

A moment later, its consciousness returned to its body. It jumped onto Fanxin's shoulder and tossed him a palm-sized circular object. Then it jumped onto Ren Fang's shoulder and gave her an identical circular object.

"This is the Flight Armor?" Fanxin stared at the circular object in his hand, stunned. It was only the size of his palm and couldn't possibly cover his body. How could it carry him away?

Ren Fang's expression was just as strange, and she didn't know what to say.

"Heh, that's right, it's the Flight Armor. It looks small, but there's actually a large space inside this little thing that can hold a lot. The Flight Armor is inside. Just press that red button, and the armor will automatically pop out and cover your bodies," Little Black Cat said with a calm smile. It was very pleased with itself, because this was its masterpiece.

"Really?" Half convinced, Fanxin pressed the red button.

A moment later, countless parts popped out of the circular object and began covering his body bit by bit, starting with his hand. When the parts reached his shoulder,

they immediately split apart. Some moved toward the top of his head, while the rest went down past his shoulder. Before long, his entire body was covered in steel plates.

He looked at his body and saw that he had become a tin man, covered from head to toe in gleaming metal. It looked incredibly cool.

"Damn, isn't this a little too amazing?" Fanxin muttered to himself.
