Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home
Chapter 580 - 70 You’ve Lost

Chapter 580: Chapter 70 You’ve Lost

Under normal circumstances, wild beasts live in their own habitat, each with its own territory.

Even if a few occasionally come out to harm people, killing them would usually restore peace.

It’s impossible to kill them all.

"First, we find the Nightwalker, then we make other plans," Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the sky, realizing there was nothing else to do.

As time passed, the night grew deeper.

By one in the morning, the streets were deserted.

Gu Xiaoxi and Yun Xiao, dressed in coats and wearing hats, walked briskly through the streets.

Moreover, the further they walked, the more desolate the villages became.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxi halted, grabbing Yun Xiao’s hand and said, "Stop, don’t move!"

"What’s wrong!" Yun Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, his legs instinctively stiffening.

"There’s a sound!" Gu Xiaoxi whispered. At the same time, she closed her eyes and listened patiently. Soon, the sound drew closer to her.

"Rustle rustle rustle..."

A faint noise, like the rustling of leaves stirred by the breeze.

But Gu Xiaoxi could clearly discern the difference between the leaves and that sound.

The rustling was accompanied by breathing sounds, faint though they were, but she could hear them clearly.

She extended her Spiritual Sense to the surrounding area.

Quickly, she spotted many rats crouching in the bushes a hundred meters away.

These rats were ten times bigger than the average ones, and some were lying on the ground, looking like small mounds.

There had been reports in world animal encyclopedias that Giant Rats indeed exist, weighing up to thirty kilograms.

Aren’t these the Giant Rats mentioned in the animal encyclopedias?

Gu Xiaoxi immediately came back to her senses and gestured to Yun Xiao, "Quick! They’re in the grass a hundred meters away. Let’s charge over!"

Gu Xiaoxi sensed that there should be more than a dozen under that tree, the largest weighing thirty kilograms. The smallest, still over ten kilograms.

Without a second thought, she and Yun Xiao dashed towards the location.

Only, she hadn’t expected the Giant Rats to react so quickly.

Her charge took mere ten seconds.

When she arrived with Yun Xiao at the tree, all they saw was a trail of shadows that vanished into the grass with a swish.

After that, when she used her Divine Sense to sense again, she couldn’t find even a trace of the rats.

"They’re gone!" Yun Xiao exclaimed with shock, "They’re so fast!"

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes coldly, her tone dangerous, "Indeed, they’re fast!"

Yun Xiao, looking into the dark night, asked, "Do we still chase them?"

"No more chasing!" Gu Xiaoxi stood on a rural road, mindful that chasing further into the woods would mean leaving the urban area behind.

It was night, and who knows what dangers there might be.

"Let’s go back!" Without hesitating, Gu Xiaoxi quickly led Yun Xiao to retreat.

Since they were fast, she decided to let them go this time.

Hopefully, they could catch them somewhere else.

When they returned to the kindergarten, it was exactly three in the morning. The campus was empty, everyone assuming there wasn’t any danger.

The people from the Southern State Country were actually playing poker.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at them but said nothing. After all, in the empty school, there was nothing worth standing guard for.

"I’ve decided to go to the hospital and check!" Gu Xiaoxi gathered her team together.

Willy and his team still played poker, clearly ignoring Gu Xiaoxi’s words.

The members of Liuli Country had already assembled, and Tang Yisheng, looking at Willy, said to Gu Xiaoxi, "We can apply to our superiors to separate them. A bunch of trash!"

"Who are you calling trash!" Willy immediately became furious, dropping his cards, and all four of his teammates surrounded him.

Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward, her gaze filled with disdain as she looked at Willy, "Assemble!"

"Who do you think you are? You call for an assembly, what right do you have to command me?" Willy crossed his arms, his eyes filled with contempt as he stared at Gu Xiaoxi.

"I am your captain! I said, assemble!" Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes narrowed, glinting with a mysterious light.

Willy and his teammates felt unnerved by her gaze, but after a moment of pause, they regained their arrogant demeanor, "He just insulted us, calling us trash. You’re the captain, is this how you treat your comrades? Unless he kneels and apologizes to me, this isn’t over."

The atmosphere became immediately tense.

Tang Yisheng’s cheeks flushed with anger, regretting his rash words. Now with Willy demanding such terms, it put Gu Xiaoxi in a difficult position.

The Liuli Country and the Southern State Country were naturally at odds, but Kate was unaware of this.

Now that Gu Xiaoxi was the team leader, if she couldn’t control her team members and conflicts arose, it would be her fault no matter what.

Unfortunately, the Southern State Country was looking for trouble on purpose!

Gu Xiaoxi curled her lips into a light smile, took a step forward, and got a bit closer to Willy.

Though Willy was half a head taller than her, she didn’t feel a trace of fear.

"You were always rubbish, and now you can’t even stand being called out. Not only are you rubbish, but your Southern State Country isn’t much better," Gu Xiaoxi said with a definitive tone, each sentence merciless.

Willy immediately turned livid with anger, fuming from all seven orifices. He clenched his fists tightly and glared at Gu Xiaoxi, "How dare you, say that again! With you as a leader? I’ll file a complaint. You’ll be stripped of your captaincy."

"Victory and defeat are common in warfare! But you Southern State Country can’t afford to lose. I have no grudge against you, yet you let Sack’s matter affect our battlefield. What do you call this behavior?" Gu Xiaoxi continued without changing her expression.

"Playing cards during a mission! Do you think it’s me, as the team leader, who has the issue, or are you intentionally picking a quarrel?"

Willy gritted his teeth; he was indeed looking for trouble, wanting to give Gu Xiaoxi a hard time.

The matter with Sack had once caused the Southern State Country to lose all face.

How could he possibly forget that grudge?

"Calling you trash is putting it lightly! Any of my subordinates could subdue all of you easily!" Gu Xiaoxi said, intent on not letting these people undermine her today.

Otherwise, she couldn’t continue as team leader.

She didn’t care about past hatreds; today, she was the leader, and they had to listen to her.

If not, she wasn’t the least bit afraid of complaints.

"What a boast, Gu Xiaoxi. Do you really think that except for Liuli Country, everyone from Southern State Country is useless?" Willy was furious and actually reached out to grab Gu Xiaoxi’s collar.

But he didn’t anticipate that as his hand stretched out, it only touched the hem of her garment.

She had already moved a significant distance away from him.

Gu Xiaoxi scoffed coldly, looking at Willy from afar, "Pick any one of my four team members! If your five can defeat them, I won’t mind stepping down as leader!"

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, Tang Yisheng and the others felt a sudden tightness in their chests, sensing danger.

Five against one of them.

Those who made it to the International Alliance were the strongest from their countries.

Among Willy’s five, there were definitely Special Ability Users, or martial artists with profound Inner Strength. Five against one was dangerous.

"Those are your words!" Willy huffed coldly. If he won against the captain, he’d see how he’d deal with Gu Xiaoxi.

He didn’t care about any lack of honor in winning five against one.

"So whom will you choose?" Gu Xiaoxi asked nonchalantly, looking at Willy.

Willy raised his arm and called out, looking back at his teammates, "Everyone, who shall we choose?"

Willy’s men almost unanimously said, "Gu Xiaoxi!"

Clearly, they also had high morale.

Typically, the team leader was the strongest.

For them, fearing a single team leader was a joke.

Moreover, they were convinced that Gu Xiaoxi, with her delicate skin and seemingly frail appearance, must have gotten her position through backdoor connections.

So, they were focused on targeting her...

Gu Xiaoxi played with a lock of her hair, laughing sweetly, "I’ll give you three moves."

"Pfft!"

Willy and his men thought they had misheard, "Woman, don’t be too arrogant!"

Before he could think twice, Willy led his group to attack Gu Xiaoxi.

Obviously, they didn’t take Gu Xiaoxi seriously and didn’t use their full strength.

Since Gu Xiaoxi said she would give them three moves, she kept retreating to dodge as they attacked.

But after three moves, she suddenly condensed Inner Strength in her palm and struck each person charging at her in the chest with a punch.

The punch, which seemed ordinary, carried seventy percent of her Inner Strength.

Willy and his teammates, caught off-guard, were sent flying and slammed harshly into the campus walls.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Immediately, the five of them spat out a mouthful of blood.

By this time, Gu Xiaoxi was already standing beside them, looking on coldly, "You’ve lost!"

Willy gritted his teeth, resentfully saying, "That doesn’t count, we didn’t use our full strength just now!"

They hadn’t expected Gu Xiaoxi to be so fast; each time they attacked, they only hit her afterimage, and when she hit them, they didn’t even have time to dodge.

Hearing their words, Gu Xiaoxi looked down at them from above and scoffed coldly, "Sorry! You no longer have a chance!"
