C87 Coincidence

In the forest, countless animals were hunting for food, resting, and watching the fun.

Three pink rabbits were eating the grass. Not far away, a lone wolf walked past them, not even looking at the rabbits.

Generally speaking, catabolic beasts rarely attacked catabolic beasts. Most of the time, catabolic beasts preyed on ordinary animals. Only under special circumstances, catabolic beasts would engage in a life-and-death battle.

Of course, there were also some extremely powerful catabolic beasts that would break this rule and prey on all animals or catabolic beasts indiscriminately.

At this moment, a huge lightning bird landed in the sky. All the animals within ten meters of the place where it landed were struck by lightning, and they were all cooked in an instant.

It picked a few prey and swallowed them. Then, it spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Strictly speaking, the Lightning Bird was actually a type of mutated Peng. It had a huge crystal nucleus in its body that could store lightning. When it was hunting, it could release lightning.

Pearl City had a Lightning Bird's crystal nucleus. Most of the equipment in Pearl City that required electricity was powered by this crystal nucleus.

At this moment, not far away from the Lightning Bird's attack range, Zhang Ping and Little Theron hid in the grass and witnessed the exaggerated scene of the Lightning Bird hunting. The man and the ant were both stunned.

"It's so dangerous. If we were in that position just now, we would probably have been attacked by a large number of lightning in an instant. Little Theron, are you scared?" Zhang Ping whispered to Little Theron.

The little Theron nodded repeatedly to show its agreement. Then, it started to miss the comfortable and safe feeling of the Repository Contract.

"Alright, let's go." Zhang Ping smiled and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, a group of firebirds flew past in the sky. Zhang Ping stared at them eagerly and sighed in the end.

The firebird's corpse that he had risked his life to pick up had been appraised by Liu Tiefeng after he returned to Pearl City. The layer of white frost on the firebird's feathers had completely destroyed the firebird's feathers' vitality, and all of them were useless.

The firebird's speed was too fast.

Even if he had the ability to fly, he could only look at the bird and sigh. He could not even think of chasing after it.

At this moment, the little Theron seemed to have discovered something. It used its front paw to tug at Zhang Ping's clothes, and then it stared intently at Zhang Ping's right hand. It seemed to be a little nervous.

"Don't worry, it's just a fox." Zhang Ping glanced at it and then laughed.

In the dark grass, a gray fox was staring at Zhang Ping and the little Theron. Its main target was the little Theron, and Zhang Ping was not its target.

Its eyes gradually emitted a layer of golden light, and then a Nether Fog flying dagger was instantly stabbed into its head.

"What the hell, you must be courting death." Zhang Ping slowly walked forward and ridiculed at the same time.

This was a fox that was in danger. It had the ability to overturn common sense. Just now, it wanted to confuse Zhang Ping's common sense and lure Zhang Ping to let go of the little Theron.

Therefore, it died.

The two abilities that Zhang Ping hated the most were the distortion of knowledge and the overturning of common sense.

He peeled off the skin, pulled out the tendons, and dug out the eyes of the Theron to store them.

After Zhang Ping finished collecting the materials, he carried the Theron and continued walking forward. As for the Theron's corpse, there would naturally be other animals to help him deal with it.

...

"Ahem, Xiaoyu, I can't take it anymore. After you go back, tell Her Majesty Aoxue that Hongying has failed to fulfill her mission. I... I'm sorry... Your Majesty."

In a dark tree hole, Kuan Hongying's face was flushed red. From time to time, a scorching aura would surge out from the hideous wound on her abdomen. It was this aura that was destroying the vitality of her body.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, so she could only entrust her last words to her niece.

Zhong Xiaoyu cried until her eyes were swollen. She wiped her snot and sobbed, "Auntie Hongying, don't die. I won't be angry anymore. Don't die, sob, sob, sob."

"Ahem, I underestimated Feng Laixian. His strength is probably not weaker than General Yu. Remember to remind His Majesty to be careful of Feng Laixian. He might very well become the biggest obstacle to our great cause." Kuan Hongying said seriously.

Zhong Xiaoyu couldn't help but whisper, "Auntie Hongying, isn't the biggest obstacle Situ Shibai?"

"You... Ahem, remember to tell His Majesty my words. Alright... You can go. Let me be alone." Kuan Hongying was so angry that she almost vomited blood. In the end, she said tiredly.

Zhong Xiaoyu tightly held onto Kuan Hongying's hand and looked at her with reddened eyes.

"Alright, don't be a nuisance here." Kuan Hongying could not stand the atmosphere and closed her eyes, saying in an unpleasant tone.

At this moment, a head poked out from outside the tree hole. It was an indescribable head. Not only was its neck extremely long, it also had a strange face that looked like a human, a snake, and a tree sloth.

It smiled at Zhong Xiaoyu and Kuan Hongying, and its gaze finally landed on Kuan Hongying's abdomen.

"Aunt Hongying, what should we do?" When Zhong Xiaoyu saw this monster, she nervously hugged Kuan Hongying's hand. Her large chest almost pressed down on Kuan Hongying, making her unable to breathe.

Although Kuan Hongying felt that her life was about to end, in order to protect her niece, she gritted her teeth and struggled to think of a way to fight.

"This is a Necroape. Wait a moment, I'll hold it back, then you should hurry up and run." Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her face was pale.

Zhong Xiaoyu subconsciously retorted, "Isn't the Necroape only eating corpses?"

"When the Necroape meets a weak creature, it will also eat it. And now, you and I are weak creatures in its eyes." Kuan Hongying took a deep breath and said in an unpleasant tone.

However, just as she was about to fight to the death, a sickle instantly chopped off the Necroape's head.

"Are you two alright?" Zhang Ping held the Nether Fog sickle and looked at the two girls in the tree hole from outside the tree hole.

Kuan Hongying took a step back and leaned against the tree wall. She replied, "Thank you for your help. We're fine."

"But you are seriously injured. Is there really no problem?" Zhang Ping felt that the wound on Kuan Hongying's body was a little familiar, but there were too many ways to cause similar injuries. It was not easy for him to make a judgment.

Kuan Hongying shook her head and said, "It's fine. Just rest for a while. I and my niece have no way to repay your kindness of saving my life. We only have this little money. Do you think it's enough?"

As she spoke, she took out her purse with difficulty, wanting to pay Zhang Ping.

When they met an Awakened in the wilderness, especially an Awakened who was stronger than them, the weak must be aware that the wilderness was not Pearl City. This was an outland!

"No need, no need. Is she really fine?" Zhang Ping quickly rejected her. At the same time, he looked at Zhong Xiaoyu and asked worriedly.

Zhong Xiaoyu hid in the corner, her eyes red and silent. But when she saw Zhang Ping's eyes, she opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Hongying is about to die, sob, sob, sob."

"Soon to die?"

Zhang Ping was shocked. Although the wound on Kuan Hongying's abdomen was a little terrifying, but because he had seen a few Awakened's exaggerated vitality, he really didn't expect that the injury was enough to kill.
