Chapter 330: Chapter 109: The Demon Eye

Gu Xiaoxi stood beside Ji Xinyu, her expression icy. She looked as if she wouldn’t let him go unless he apologized.

Faced with no other choice and seeing his companions entangled in combat, Ji Xinyu had no option but to bow his head and move toward the dead doe.

Gu Xiaoxi, not far from him, was about to step forward when suddenly, Ji Xinyu quickened his pace, darted toward the bushes, and then took off running.

He dashed into the underbrush, abandoning his partners and disappearing without a trace...

A muscle twitched in Gu Xiaoxi’s cheek, "An unscrupulous, utterly despicable man."

Seeing Ji Xinyu run off, the two who were fighting also retreated and fled.

Soon, the three of them vanished from everyone’s sight.

"These three are quite skilled, actually managing to fight to a draw," Fu Xi said in shock, because they were comrades in arms and didn’t use lethal moves, it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

"Indeed, they did well. If Ji Xinyu had fought desperately, I wouldn’t have won so easily. Their combination is a bit strange; who would have thought that V department was hiding such experts!" said Gu Xiaoxi with a profound look.

"Next, we better be cautious. They are so crafty, this matter is surely not over yet," Fu Xi said with a serious face, always feeling that Ji Xinyu would not be easy to deal with.

"We can’t worry about that now; it’s getting late. Time to go back to sleep after the hunt!" Gu Xiaoxi said earnestly.

"What about this deer?" Jing Haoran looked at the dead doe and shook his head. One life begets many deaths, such a sin!

"Dig a hole and bury it!"

By the time Gu Xiaoxi returned from hunting that night, it was already ten o’clock. Zhuang Xiaomeng had picked some wild fruits, and everyone had a little to eat with water and dry food before resting.

Finally, half of the six days had passed, and no matter how difficult the remaining journey was, they had to persevere to the end.

In the night forest, the mosquitoes were particularly numerous, biting everyone, but all were so tired that they still slept soundly.

Upon waking the next day, everyone felt noticeably more exhausted than the morning before, their skin felt dry, and their bodies were in a state of tension.

"Tired!" Zhuang Xiaomeng let out a groan, but for the sake of victory, he perked up and, with clenched fists, passionately said to everyone, "For honor and a soldier’s mission, let’s give it our all!"

Everyone turned to look at him, speechless for a while.

Jing Haoran squinted and smiled, "Brother, then you have to protect me, okay?"

"Don’t worry, leave it to brother!"

"You guys made up after just one sleep?" Baili Tao asked. They were ignoring each other the day before, and after one night’s sleep, they became friends again—it was so childish.

"The little boat of friendship needs everyone. Without me, it won’t set sail, right Xiao Haohao?" Zhuang Xiaomeng laughed, his hand resting on Jing Haoran’s shoulder.

"Let’s go, it’s time to set off!" Gu Xiaoxi, holding Xiao Xiao, was already prepared.

Jing Haoran immediately let go of Zhuang Xiaomeng and ran obediently to Gu Xiaoxi, "Fairy Sister, those three bad guys last night certainly won’t just let us off. You have to be careful!"

"Don’t worry! I’m not afraid of them." Gu Xiaoxi felt that what her teammates needed was exactly this kind of unity, mutual assistance, and caring for each other.

She really didn’t think highly of someone like Ji Xinyu; even though he was strong, and the two people with him were strong as individuals. But with their malevolent intentions, how could they walk the same path?

In the following journey, Gu Xiaoxi led everyone to advance quickly, because she discovered that ahead of them were not just Ji Xinyu and company, but also many powerful comrades.

Everywhere they passed, all the additional points had been taken.

"Woof woof woof!"

Gu Xiaoxi heard Xiao Xiao bark and then immediately released it, chasing after it as it ran forward.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at an open area with thick bushes and weeds, but they could see a trail that had been cleared.

Without hesitation, they pursued the path and finally found Gu Xiaoxi’s fifth handkerchief in the bushes.

However, after finding the handkerchief, all the military dogs started barking frantically.

Everyone immediately became alert and followed the military dogs, running forward.

After a kilometer, they encountered Ji Xinyu once more in a dense woodland.

And he was bullying someone! A military dog hung from a tree by a rope, wailing in pain, looking very pitiable.

It was dark last night, and their faces weren’t clearly seen.

Seeing him today, Ji Xinyu was indeed as extraordinarily handsome as he had exaggerated, but he was cunning and overbearing, cold-blooded and ruthless, and Gu Xiaoxi just couldn’t bring herself to like him no matter what.

At his side, two flunkies seemed to be obediently following along.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi, they immediately dropped the man they had beaten until his face was swollen and his nose was blue, and stared at her warily, "Gu Xiaoxi, we’ve run into you again today."

"Yeah! We’re really lucky. Ran into you again, tsk tsk, and you’re bullying someone." Gu Xiaoxi tilted her chin up and down, her face all smiles, but that smile gave people a chilling feeling.

"That’s none of your business! Gu Xiaoxi, stop sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Indeed, I was wrong last night, I killed. But today, it’s between him and me, don’t interfere," Ji Xinyu said angrily.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded with a smile, "Alright! Alright! It’s been so boring on this road; I want to see how you resolve this grudge. If you entertain me, I won’t hold it against you that you ran away last night."

"Damn it! I ran, and you have an issue with that? You’re clearly the one looking for trouble," Ji Xinyu felt Gu Xiaoxi was someone who didn’t play by the rules, and he was extremely annoying.

However, Gu Xiaoxi found a stone to sit on, looking leisurely, and smiled at Ji Xinyu, "First come, first served. Resolve your own grudges first, then we can settle ours."

Ji Xinyu was about to explode, it was clear that Gu Xiaoxi had her sights set on him.

"You’re tough! I’m scared of you, that’s all I can say. There are more of you, and I can’t beat you all. Let’s retreat!" Ji Xinyu said to the people around him, and at the same time, he looked coldly at the man lying on the ground, swollen and bloodied, "Today you’re lucky, if you dare to offend me again, see if I don’t beat you to a cripple."

"Bullying someone in this kind of place, he’s capable of that too. Are the cameras watching?" Yun Xiao, seeing the man on the ground gasping for breath, sighed; this Ji Xinyu was not ordinarily bad. He didn’t even spare his own comrades.

"Fairy Sister, it was too dark last night; I couldn’t catch them. Why don’t I capture them for you as prisoners? That way, we’ll have people clearing the way through the thickets ahead. You and Sister Yun Xiao won’t be so tired," Jing Haoran clenched his fists, looking at Ji Xinyu who was about to leave, his eyes shining.

Gu Xiaoxi, sitting on the rock with one hand propping up her chin, thought about it and felt it was a good idea.

Clearing the way through the thickets had caused blisters on her hand from holding the saber, and her arm also hurt. If someone else could do the work, the road ahead would be much easier.

Gu Xiaoxi merely nodded lightly, and Jing Haoran immediately chased after Ji Xinyu.

On this side, a severely injured man struggled to rise from the ground, rescued his military dog, and then gave Gu Xiaoxi a cold glance before dragging his injured body away.

"He’s severely injured, can he continue alone? It looks like his foot is bleeding," Zhuang Xiaomeng said worriedly.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the man’s retreating figure and had already made her calculations. His hand held a tree branch, indicating he was injured before encountering Ji Xinyu. That’s why Ji Xinyu grabbed the opportunity to beat him thoroughly.

Gu Xiaoxi slowly reasoned it out, feeling that Ji Xinyu typically couldn’t beat him, so when he found him injured and alone, he avenged an old grudge by beating him fiercely.

"You’re so severely injured, you definitely can’t go on alone. Why not form an alliance with us? I’ll find you some medicine to put on your leg," Gu Xiaoxi, displaying a rare burst of compassion, decided to take in a person.

But the man glanced at them, his gaze carrying a bit of longing and reluctance. In the end, however, he said nothing and continued to hobble away.

He was heading in the direction the map indicated, which meant he planned to complete the journey ahead on his own, dragging his broken leg.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that was highly unlikely. She couldn’t help but wonder at his stubbornness.

In such a state, if he didn’t find allies, he definitely couldn’t make it to the end. But he had refused her invitation.

It wasn’t until the man’s figure had disappeared into the distance.

That Zhuang Xiaomeng withdrew her gaze and laughed, "What a weird person, we save him, and he doesn’t even say thank you. We offer to form an alliance, and he doesn’t accept."

"Maybe he has his own plans," Gu Xiaoxi smiled, perhaps she could understand him.

Before leaving, that look had betrayed him. In fact, he wanted to join the alliance, but knowing that he might not make it to the end with his injury, he would only hold the others back, which is why he declined.

Just then, Jing Haoran returned, striding proudly with his head high and chest out, looking triumphant as he brought forwards three compliant, utterly obedient Ji Xinyu and his companions, and proudly said to Gu Xiaoxi, "I’ve brought these three. To make them listen, we just need to beat them severely."

Gu Xiaoxi watched, utterly taken aback. Ji Xinyu had Inner Strength, yet he was rendered speechless and followed Jing Haoran in a daze.

How terrifying Jing Haoran’s eyes must be, it’s imaginable. They were like demonic eyes, with limitless power.

Gu Xiaoxi shivered; lucky for her this guy was an ally, or he would be far too frightening as an enemy.

"These three guys are too annoying; I couldn’t stand them since last night. Let me handle it," Fu Xi volunteered with eagerness, clenching his fists tightly and charging towards Ji Xinyu.
