Chapter 180: Tugging on Your Little Braid
Shen Miao's face turned bright red!
How embarrassing—she actually threw up all over Jiangnan!
"Ah! I'm sorry, Jiangnan gege! I'm sorry! Ugh~"
Jiangnan: ...
He looked at this girl; she was really pitiful!
Mostly, he just couldn't bear to endure the baptism.
He stepped forward, pinched her little nose, and untied her from the parachute cord.
Shen Miao landed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Jiangnan packed the golden durian pulp into a glass jar, he even took a bite himself!
His spiritual power instantly recovered to full!
Only then did he feel a bit of security.
Shen Miao watched from the side as he stuffed that golden mushy substance into a glass jar.
And even shoved a bite into his mouth!
She pinched her nose, a look of terror on her face.
She took two steps back.
"Ah! Jiangnan gege! You..."
Jiangnan glared at her fiercely. "If you dare say I'm eating sh*t, I'll pull your little braid right off!"
Shen Miao shrank her neck...
He already ate it!
Why can't she even say anything?
What kind of weird hobby is this?
No wonder Grandpa always said Jiangnan was always so unconventional...
But now she was even more curious!
Jiangnan glanced at his satellite watch.
The map showed his current location at the bottom left of the signal reception area.
That gourd-shaped island was a bit to the south.
The signal reception zone would shrink in two days!
By then, his current position and Gourd Island would probably both be out of range.
He had to reunite with Zhong Yingxue and the others before the signal zone adjusted!
So time was still pretty generous.
His gaze fell on Shen Miao.
"Where are your teammates?"
Shen Miao tilted her head. "They landed on this island too!"
"I got stuck in a tree, so I didn't see exactly where they are..."
Jiangnan rubbed his forehead. "Then I'll take you to find your teammates first. It's pretty dangerous for you to be alone in the spirit ruin."
Shen Miao's eyes lit up. "Hehe! Thanks, Jiangnan gege!"
It wasn't that Jiangnan couldn't walk past a girl.
It's that Shen Hong had told him before—since he ran into her, he might as well help out.
After all, Old Shen had helped him with the spirit bead thing before.
He was just returning the favor.
The two walked casually on the island. The air was humid, the terrain similar to a tropical rainforest...
The spiritual energy here was way denser than outside.
Shen Miao stuck close behind Jiangnan, her little face full of tension.
Her twin ponytails swayed back and forth.
"Ah! That's a spir—"
A huge white-faced sifaka swung over from a tree!
It charged straight at Jiangnan!
But at that moment, Jiangnan drew his Tang knife and opened a spatial wormhole!
Half his arm disappeared into the spatial wormhole!
A whimper sounded!
The white-faced sifaka dropped to the ground...
When Jiangnan pulled his hand back, he had already dug out the spirit bead.
He casually tossed it to Shen Miao.
"Keep it to restore your spiritual power!"
Shen Miao: !!!
She clutched the bloodstained spirit bead, completely dumbfounded!
Was it really that casual?
That was a Bronze Eight-star spirit beast! It didn't even get to use its spirit technique!
And he just stabbed it to death?
Jiangnan hadn't even slowed his pace!
He was this strong?
The two kept walking, and Shen Miao truly witnessed what it meant to be relaxed and carefree!
Every spirit beast they encountered along the way—
None could even get within a hundred meters of Jiangnan!
His unpredictable spatial wormholes paired with the Tang knife—
Extended his attack range all the way to about three hundred meters!
Below Silver rank, nothing could pose any threat to Jiangnan at all!
At this point, Shen Miao's eyes were full of stars.
"Grrumble~"
She clutched her stomach, her pretty face flushing.
Jiangnan grinned and pulled out two Snickers bars and a lollipop from his alternate dimension, handing them to Shen Miao.
Shen Miao took them gratefully.
So strong and yet so considerate!
How could he be this perfect?
Grandpa! I think I'm in love!
As she munched on the Snickers, a question popped into her head.
She asked casually, "Jiangnan gege! Why did you eat sh*t just now?"
Jiangnan: !!!
Are you freaking kidding me...
Shen Miao suddenly felt a chill!
Then she realized her feet were off the ground!
Jiangnan grabbed hold of her twin ponytails—
And yanked her up!
Where did the gentle, thoughtful side go?
"Pfft! That's not sh*t! I didn't eat it! Do you want to keep your braids or not?"
Shen Miao clutched her head, her big eyes full of grievance.
Ahh!
You actually pulled them!
Just then—
"Boom!"
A massive crashing sound mixed with a gust of wind swept over!
Accompanied by a scream!
Shattered stones flew like cannonballs, even punching through trees!
Jiangnan raised his knife and slashed!
A few sparks flew as he deflected the stones.
In the distance, under a cliff, a five-meter tall iron-gall hedgehog screeched!
It was at Silver Three-star!
A long black-haired girl had her hands glowing green, pressed against the ground, her pretty face pale!
Thick vines as thick as arms grew from the earth, wrapping around the hedgehog to restrict its movement!
A short young man was creating earthen walls, trying to block the hedgehog's charge!
Another crew-cut young man was leaning against a tree, a large thorn stuck in his thigh, bleeding profusely!
All three were injured!
The iron-gall hedgehog had seven or eight steel spikes stuck in its body; it was also wounded!
But the pain only fueled the hedgehog's ferocity; now its eyes were bloodshot!
Shen Miao's face filled with anxiety. "Xiaobei! Guo Guo! Captain! You all..."
The long black-haired girl turned around, saw Shen Miao, and quickly said, "Miao Miao, run! This spirit beast is too strong! We can't... Ah!"
Suddenly, the iron-gall hedgehog bristled all its spikes and shot them out in every direction!
The fierce black iron spikes punched through surrounding trees!
Even embedded themselves in the rock!
The girl named Guo Guo was pierced through the arm and her spiritual power cut off!
The hedgehog broke free!
It curled up into a giant iron ball, spikes standing erect!
It rolled forward with a vicious charge!
It smashed straight through the earthen wall. Gu Bei's face changed drastically as he retreated wildly!
But he stumbled and fell, about to be skewered!
Shen Miao didn't care anymore; she rushed forward, water vapor swirling around her!
But how could she possibly stop the iron-gall hedgehog?
Jiangnan sighed.
In an instant, he teleported into the middle of the scene!
Everyone was stunned!
They saw Jiangnan raise his hand and shoot out void chains, wrapping tightly around the iron ball the hedgehog had become!
The enormous force pulled the void chains taut!
Half of Jiangnan's calves sank into the dirt, but he was still being dragged forward!
His legs plowed two trenches in the ground!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth. "Blood Incineration!"
His heart pounded, white steam rising!
His muscles bulged as Jiangnan suddenly exerted force!
He actually pulled the iron-gall hedgehog to a stop! Then he swung the iron ball—
And hurled it like a discus!
Round and round!
The wind it kicked up even tore off the topsoil!
Everyone was dumbstruck!
Holy crap!
What kind of move was that?
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the iron-gall hedgehog slammed into the cliff face!
The terrifying impact forced it to uncurl!
Exposing its soft belly!
Jiangnan teleported and landed right on its face!
His Tang knife stabbed through one eye and came out the other!
The iron-gall hedgehog, now pinned to the cliff face, went still!
The whole process was clean and decisive, with no wasted movements!
Shen Miao's eyes were wide open, her face full of disbelief!
Guo Guo stared blankly at Jiangnan!
Was this guy... some kind of god?
Three of them couldn't handle it, and one person killed it?
The whole fight took less than thirty seconds!
How could it be this fast?!
And this was a Silver-rank spirit beast!
