Old Wu: "Haven't enough people died today? Two more of us won't make a difference, two less of us won't make a difference either."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian's face broke into a smile that looked more like a grimace.
Suddenly! The car stopped.
Xiao Qian was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Why did it stop?!"
As he unbuckled his seatbelt, Old Wu said, "The car's out of gas, get out quickly."
"No way?" Xiao Qian was really about to cry now. Hearing the trembling sound of running behind her, she felt that the footsteps of death were getting closer and closer.
"What are you still standing there for? Although our chances of escape are slim, as a constable, you can't just give up so easily and obediently wait to be eaten by the monster, can you?"
Old Wu's raised voice pulled Xiao Qian, who was immersed in fear, back to reality.
The moment she realized what was happening, Xiao Qian pushed open the car door, got out, and ran forward with all her might.
"Run!" Old Wu shouted from the front, then turned into the street on the left.
Xiao Qian shouted, "You're going the wrong way! The refuge is on the right!"
Old Wu didn't stop walking. "I know, but as constables, are we supposed to bring danger to ordinary people?"
Xiao Qian suddenly realized, gritted his teeth, and said, "You're right, we absolutely cannot lead this Golden One-Horned Lion to the sanctuary."
Actually, Xiao Qian was also very scared, which is normal. Everyone is afraid of dying. But he had his own responsibilities, a heavy burden he had to bear from the moment he put on his constable uniform.
"Thump thump thump thump!" The sound of the Golden One-Horned Lion running on all fours had reached behind them, and they could even feel the oppressive sense of death coming from behind.
Today the sun shines brightly under a clear blue sky, but the Golden One-Horned Lion that has now arrived behind them casts a dark shadow over Xiao Qian and Old Wu, like a cloud obscuring the sun.
Looking at the shadow cast on the ground, the Golden One-Horned Lion raised its sharp claws.
I'm doomed!!!
This idea appeared in the minds of both Old Wu and Xiao Qian.
"Let's give it our all!"
They had reached a dead end, with no possibility of escape.
Old Wu pulled out his standard-issue knife, striking a pose of someone ready to die.
Seeing this, Xiao Qian stopped being afraid and became even more extreme, pulling out his standard weapon and shouting "Eee-ya-ya-ao-ao--".
"You beast, I'll fucking fight you to the death!"
Shouting as it charged toward the Golden One-Horned Lion.
The Golden One-Horned Lion didn't even glance at it, and swung its paw down as if crushing an ant.
" Xiao Qian!" Old Wu roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Xiao Qian looked up at the claws that were about to land on his head, his legs seemingly frozen in place.
Just as they were on the verge of life and death, a figure flashed by like a whirlwind, slashing down with a knife. The claw was severed in two, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
As Jiang Fan landed, the once dangerous, sharp claws turned into lifeless objects and fell behind him.
"Jiang-- Jiang Fan?"
Xiao Qian stared in disbelief, clearly never expecting that Jiang Fan would be the one to rush out and save him in that life-or-death moment.
Not only was Xiao Qian shocked, but even Old Wu was greatly shocked by Jiang Fan's sudden appearance and swift slaying of the Golden One-Horned Lion.
At this moment, the Golden One-Horned Lion, its claws severed, let out an angry roar, its gaze towards Jiang Fan filled with murderous intent.
" Jiang Fan, watch out!" Old Wu shouted as soon as he realized what was happening.
Although he knew that Jiang Fan Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, Jiang Fan was just a senior high school student who had never experienced actual combat or fought against real demonic beasts.
Moreover, the Golden One-Horned Lion is not an ordinary One Star monster; its power is definitely among the top in its level.
Therefore, Jiang Fan could only succeed in his sneak attack against the Golden One-Horned Lion when it was momentarily caught off guard. Now, in a face-to-face confrontation, Jiang Fan would not be a match for the Golden One-Horned Lion.
Jiang Fan one of the top martial arts prodigies in Great Xia. He absolutely cannot be harmed. If anything were to happen to him, it would undoubtedly be a loss for Great Xia!
Despite his anxiety, he, an ordinary person, had absolutely no strategy against One Star Golden One-Horned Lion.
Just as Old Wu was becoming increasingly anxious, Jiang Fan made his move. He drew his knife and rushed toward the Golden One-Horned Lion that had raised its claws again, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, in Jiang Fan's eyes, the claw that was about to land on his head and was gleaming coldly in the sunlight was moving so slowly and had countless flaws.
The next second, he easily dodged the attack with a quick step, then leaped up and, before the Golden One-Horned Lion could react, flew to its head. With a swift motion, he brought down his blade, delivering a powerful vertical slash. While not quite as easy as cutting tofu, he still quite effortlessly split the Golden One-Horned Lion in two, sending it falling to the left and right.
This scene left Old Wu and the others speechless, frozen in place like stone statues, unable to recover for a long time.
Even Tang Duo was stunned. Although she knew that Jiang Fan was very powerful now, Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, the champion of their Fortress No. 31 martial arts exam, and the undisputed number one prodigy in the entire Great Xia, she never thought that the frail child she had always protected would become so powerful.
How should I put it?
have no idea.
Indeed, at this moment, she couldn't find any words to describe her feelings.
If she had to say something, all she wanted to say was "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully killed One Star monster. You have done a good deed. Your points have been increased by 50.]
A system notification sounded in Jiang Fan's mind. He sheathed his knife and walked to Old Wu's side.
" Uncle Wu, what are you doing here?"
Old Wu suppressed his shock and forced himself to regain his composure.
"With the sudden outbreak of a beast tide, we, the security forces, naturally had to be a solid support for the people. After evacuating the disaster victims, Xiao Qian and I hadn't even had time to leave when we ran into this Golden One-Horned Lion."
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Fan nodded in understanding.
" Uncle Wu, have you seen my parents and Guoguo?"
"I saw it. I told them to evacuate to the shelter," Old Wu replied.
Jiang Fan relaxed a little. Like Tang Duo, he was terrified that he would hear bad news about his parents as soon as he got back.
"Then let's hurry over there."
"Good."
The scene shifts to a massive bear swinging its four muscular arms, repeatedly pounding on the shelter's door.
Each bombardment struck like thunder, reverberating in the hearts of everyone inside the shelter.
"Gulp!" Jiang Youtian swallowed hard and looked up at the screen.
Even One Star monster could easily kill him, let alone this Four-Armed Giant Bear, which is Two Star monster!
