Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Do you want to die?!
Liang Yongjun sat in the turtle shell, doubting his life, while outside the turtle shell, Qian Qi slammed the brakes hard, stopping in front of the second squad. Her gaze quickly swept over the severely injured people, pressing down the edge of the turtle shell, "Quick, get in!"
After speaking, she shouted again, "Liang Yongjun, Xu Jinghong, come help!"
Liang Yongjun couldn’t sit steadily, a sudden brake made him roll and crawl next to Qian Qi, while Xu Jinghong was fine, with his long legs taking a few big strides, standing at the front of the turtle shell. A fireball condensed in his palm, and the scorching temperature instantly made the surrounding Demon Snakes wary.
Liang Yongjun hurriedly carried the severely injured and unconscious people, bringing them into the turtle shell, and sprinkling hemostatic medicine on their wounds.
The people in this squad were very seriously injured. They did not cooperate as well as Liang Yongjie’s squad, nor did they have Xu Jinghong’s flames for repelling, thus their bodies were bitten in sections, especially the legs, where the white bones were exposed, with even bite marks from the Demon Snake.
"There are too many of these snakes..." After taking care of Yao Na, Liang Yongjie also came to help. The hemostatic medicine was limited, so they needed to use it sparingly, only sprinkling a bit for the initial bleeding control, "There are other Awakener teams over there suffering too..."
He didn’t know if Qian Qi would save the other teams; her returning to save these 12 people was already the ultimate in righteousness. Even if he wanted Qian Qi to rescue more, he couldn’t ask.
"Forget about the other teams, escaping is good enough for us." Liang Yongjun strapped on a pink cartoon backpack, crawled to the far left of the turtle shell to observe, and suddenly exclaimed, "Damn, why are all these snakes chasing us!"
Liang Yongjie was startled too and crawled over. Sure enough, the snakes that were attacking all over were now all heading towards them!
No more worrying about other Awakener teams; the snake group had already set its sights on them!
"What’s going on?" Liang Yongjun looked at the dense swarm of snakes rushing like a tide, goosebumps rising all over him, "Why are they all chasing us?"
"Snake-like Magic Beasts may hold grudges; we dragged and killed a bunch of Demon Snakes, maybe we’re being targeted." Liang Yongjie stared at the Demon Snake meat paste dragged by the turtle shell on the ground, frowning tightly, "I don’t know if they’ll catch up..."
Qian Qi’s speed was evidently slower than before, even if she was a Power Awakener, her stamina was limited.
"Anyone with strength left, stand up immediately, attack the snake group behind us!" Liang Yongjie commanded at once, "Xu Jinghong, go to the right and attack the snake tide with a fireball! Now they’re all clustered together, a fire can’t easily spread, just try to slow their speed!"
"Okay." Xu Jinghong ran towards the right, his movements were very agile. A few powerful strides and his hands climbed onto the edge of the turtle shell on the right, stabilizing his body.
Quickly, the huge fireball he conjured smashed towards the rushing snake tide, attempting to slow their advance.
Qian Qi heard the commotion behind her, glanced back, saw them attacking the snakes behind, she didn’t interfere, quickly ran to the third team’s side.
"Hurry get in." The third team, being larger in number, weren’t so severely injured. She urged them into the turtle shell, and then dragged the turtle shell to continue forward.
The third team was closest to the snake group’s edge, and in that direction was where she previously dropped the Demon Nightmare Beast corpse when rescuing Liang Yongjie and the others.
She could hardly hunt down a Magic Beast, couldn’t just throw it away!
Dashing to the Demon Nightmare Beast’s corpse, Qian Qi tossed the Demon Nightmare Beast into the turtle shell, nodding contentedly.
Great, she saved the corpse and the people!
The number of Demon Snakes here had significantly reduced, Qian Qi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she heard Liang Yongjun’s anxious voice from inside the turtle shell, "Little Qian! Don’t stop! The snake group is about to catch up!"
"What?" Qian Qi raised her head in confusion, the massive turtle shell blocked her view, so she wasn’t aware of what was happening behind. She puzzledly dragged the turtle shell to turn a corner, and then was greeted by the sight of a snake tide forming a wall, surging crashing towards her.
Qian Qi: ???
What the hell? Eat your shit???
Why are you all following behind my turtle shell???
Qian Qi’s fear of dense things almost kicked in, she screamed, promptly dragged the turtle shell and ran again.
"Liang Yongjun! What’s going on! Why are they all following us!"
"I don’t know!!!" Liang Yongjun nearly cried, "My brother said they hold grudges!"
"Damn!" Qian Qi couldn’t help but curse, "Just because you look like a snake doesn’t mean you should hold grudges like people! Can’t you learn something better!"
Qian Qi was covered in goosebumps, she was just a weak girl, her last life was at most chased by a swarm of bees after smashing a hive, when had she ever seen such a battle?
Qian Qi desperately dragged the turtle shell frantically, Liang Yongjun and others desperately used their skills, doing their best to slow the approaching snake tide.
However, Elemental Power and energy would eventually run out, Liang Yongjun’s energy arrow couldn’t condense anymore, though Xu Jinghong’s fireball was still holding strong, the serpentine wall formed by the Demon Snake tide blocked most of the damage, quickly they regrouped and chased.
Qian Qi’s speed and defensive power were sustained, but her stamina was limited, her strength was gradually disappearing.
Feeling her strength being stripped away by exhaustion, Qian Qi gritted her teeth, fiercely gazing towards the back.
"Do you really think I have no solution?"
She suddenly braked, looked at the 14 people inside the turtle shell, yelled, "Everyone, get down!"
Without waiting for their reaction, she overturned the entire large turtle shell.
Behind her, the snake tide was like seawater suddenly toppling over, smashing onto the dark green turtle shell, Qian Qi swiftly climbed a tree like a monkey, then fiercely leaped down onto the turtle shell!
The enormous impact instantly pressed the turtle shell halfway into the soil, burying the surrounding seams with it, leaving no gaps exposed.
"You want to touch those I’m protecting?"
Qian Qi’s cold eyes showed a hint of a cold smile, smearing the blood mud on the turtle shell onto her body, she shouted at the Demon Snakes, "Come chase me if you dare!"
Seeing Qian Qi covered in Demon Snake blood, the building great snake wave turned furious red, hissing as it surged towards her, falling like rain, drowning the petite Qian Qi instantly.
Qian Qi: ...
Two minutes later, Qian Qi climbed out of the snake tide, her face grimy, cursing, "Shit, really buried me! I was just puffing up!"
Flipping off the Demon Snakes coiled around her, Qian Qi was about to lure the Demon Snake group away, but suddenly discovered some Demon Snakes twisting their bodies and burrowed into the ground.
Qian Qi: ???
Qian Qi looked dumbfounded at the system.
System: [Ahaha, they’re actually called Amphibian Demon Snakes.]
Qian Qi: ...
She turned her head to the turtle shell pressed into the ground, a wave of awkwardness surged up within her.
