Once Again Encountering Yeti

Seeing the monster before them, the Mo Li Trio was stunned. Wei Dengke even cried out instinctively, and it was precisely because of his shout that the monster finally noticed their presence.

The monster turned to look at them. Astonishment actually filled its large face covered in long white fur, and Zhong Lichun almost instinctively raised her submachine gun.

Just as Zhong Lichun was about to fire, Wei Dengke suddenly grabbed her hand. When Zhong Lichun pulled the trigger, the muzzle veered aside, and the bullet streaked past the monster without hitting it.

"Are you fucking sick? Why do you keep stopping me again and again?" Zhong Lichun finally snapped after being obstructed by Wei Dengke repeatedly.

"The whole world is looking for yetis, and now we've seen a real one. You're just going to shoot it dead? If we can capture it and bring it back, that'd be a huge contribution to scientific research!" Wei Dengke explained.

"Contribution my ass! Can you even catch something that huge?" Zhong Lichun truly wanted to unload a full magazine into Wei Dengke now. This stinking pauper was infuriating. If Boss hadn't ordered her to carry out this mission with Wei Dengke, she would never have agreed to stay with this guy.

"Watch out!" Just as Zhong Lichun and Wei Dengke were arguing, Mo Li's warning suddenly rang out. Accompanied by a shout, Mo Li lunged at them, hooked his arms around their necks, and dragged them down to the ground.

At the same moment the three fell, a massive rock flew past Mo Li's back by a hair and smashed heavily into a big tree. The impact was so powerful that it made the tree shake.

After saving Zhong Lichun and Wei Dengke, Mo Li rolled over and sat up. At the same time, he swung the pistol in his right hand sideways, aiming the muzzle directly at the yeti that had smashed the rock toward them.

However, Mo Li did not pull the trigger. It wasn't because he was as wishy-washy as Wei Dengke; it was because the yeti had already hoisted the Bengal Tiger's corpse onto its shoulder and turned to run toward the snowy mountain. In stark contrast to its enormous body, the yeti moved incredibly fast. Within a few blinks, it had rushed halfway up the mountain before vanishing behind a huge boulder.

Perhaps afraid the yeti would come back and attack the three of them once again, Mo Li did not lower his gun immediately. He continued aiming at the spot where the yeti had disappeared, his eyes full of vigilance.

After staying alert for over a minute, Mo Li finally confirmed that the yeti had truly left. Letting out a breath, he turned to Zhong Lichun and Wei Dengke. "Are you two okay? Hm? Zhong Lichun, why is your face so red?"

Zhong Lichun's face was indeed very red, and she even looked somewhat shy. She did not answer Mo Li. Instead, she lowered her head instinctively, staring at Mo Li's hand pressed against her body. Mo Li followed her line of sight unconsciously, and his own face turned red as well. The situation had been too urgent earlier, so he had pounced over to save Zhong Lichun and Wei Dengke without thinking. Later, when he drew his gun to aim at the yeti, he had used his other hand as support and pressed it against Zhong Lichun's chest. He had noticed that it felt soft, but at the time, he had not realized where exactly he was touching.

Mo Li hurriedly raised his hand and stood up, then stammered, "Um... I... I... wasn't... uh...!"

Zhong Lichun said nothing. She also stood up and went to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground. After getting to his feet, Wei Dengke dusted himself off as he walked over to Mo Li and said in a low voice, "You're done for. I remember when Monkey peeked at Tomboy while she was bathing, he got beaten so badly he stayed in bed for over half a month. And he only looked. You actually put your hands on her. You're done for. I can't save you."

Cold sweat broke out on Mo Li's forehead as he listened to Wei Dengke. Though they had not known each other long, he had already gotten a deep understanding of Zhong Lichun's tomboyish personality. Now that he had offended her, the consequences were truly too horrible to imagine.

Yet contrary to Mo Li and Wei Dengke's expectations, after picking up her gun, Zhong Lichun did not make trouble for Mo Li. Instead, she silently headed straight toward the snowy mountain. As she passed Mo Li, she did not even glance at him.

"Hey, brother, you'd better be careful. The quieter Tomboy gets, the angrier she is. This is definitely the calm before the storm. Once she erupts, I won't be able to stop her. You're on your own!" Wei Dengke said, waggling his eyebrows at Mo Li. Then he hurried after Zhong Lichun, leaving Mo Li staring blankly at the two walking away.

Zhong Lichun and Wei Dengke had walked about five or six meters when they noticed Mo Li was still standing there stupidly, staring blankly. They both stopped. Zhong Lichun turned back and said irritably, "What are you doing over there? Hurry up!"

"Ah? Oh!" Zhong Lichun's shout jolted Mo Li out of his daze, and he hurried after them. But as he caught up, This Guy instinctively raised his left hand and squeezed it, as if savoring the earlier sensation.

Zhong Lichun had been watching Mo Li. When she saw that movement, her face turned red once again. She spat lightly, then turned around angrily and continued walking up the mountain.

When Wei Dengke saw Zhong Lichun's expression, he actually leaned over and whispered something to her. The result was Zhong Lichun stomping hard on his foot. Wei Dengke let out a miserable scream, then grabbed his injured foot with both hands and hopped around as he complained, "Come on, don't do this! I'm not the one who offended you, so why are you stepping on me? It was that guy who grabbed your... Alright, alright! I won't say it!"

After Zhong Lichun glared at him with a murderous look, Wei Dengke swallowed the rest of his words. He then squatted down and rubbed his foot, muttering in a low voice. Who knew what This Guy was muttering about?

Mo Li walked over to Wei Dengke and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Don't talk to me! You jinx, if it weren't for you, how would I have suffered like this? Damn it, damn it, my toe bone isn't broken, is it?" Wei Dengke glared at Mo Li irritably, rubbing his foot with a miserable expression.

"Hurry up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you a real cripple!" Zhong Lichun, who had already walked far ahead, stopped once again and turned back coldly. Hearing her warning, Wei Dengke actually shuddered instinctively. He immediately got up and ran toward Zhong Lichun. Judging from how swiftly he moved, his earlier grimacing had clearly been an act.

Mo Li gave Wei Dengke a bitter smile, then strode after them as well. The three had already entered the mountain, and none of them knew what awaited them next. But judging from the yeti they had encountered earlier, the three of them were destined to experience an extraordinary adventure in these mountains.
