The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 356 - 355

Chapter 356: Chapter 355

The dark eyes searched amid chaos and rapidly locked onto Qu Tong’s position, leading the Electric Patterned Snake towards where she was hiding.

To avoid appearing too deliberate, he had paused at two other spots before heading over.

A Thunderball, carrying immense power, smashed directly in front of Qu Tong. The fringe electricity "zzt" turned half of the tree stump into ashes. Qu Tong cursed out loud and just in time rolled to the side to escape.

However, the danger hadn’t passed. A massive snake tail, whistling through the air, followed; if it struck, she would certainly be flattened into a meat patty.

Xu An, who had been paying close attention to Qu Tong, took a step forward only to collide with a transparent protective shield.

"Despicable!" No one on Fei Wenxing could hold back from cursing out loud!

Those unaware finally noticed someone behind the tree stump and involuntarily gasped.

"Why hasn’t the rescue arrived yet? No one here can deal with a ninth-tier Star Beast!"

"It’s over, The Prince’s Consort is doomed!"

A short distance away, Lan XingruiRui, who had just caught a break, faced away from the camp, a cold, thin smile on his lips.

Just as everyone could hardly bear to watch the bloody scene that was about to unfold.

Pity, sighs, fear... shock!

An exclamation erupted!

A green afterimage streaked across the sky; the cool Mecha swiftly retreated and soared upwards, stopping mid-air and turning around, its arms extended with sharp steel blades.

The crushing snake tail struck down, but there was no spray of blood.

"Dodged... she dodged it?" Cheng Yao stuttered.

Along with Cheng Yao, numerous instructors and students were caught off-guard, and even the deputy had his eyes wide open.

Han Song, watching the familiar Green Mecha in the sky, felt a moment of confusion, "Is this the speed an S-rank Mecha should have?"

No one answered him.

Qu Tong managed to escape, but Kong Yang in another direction wasn’t so fortunate.

A large tree thrown by the snake tail flew out and directly hit Kong Yang’s leg, blood oozing out, the bone definitely broken.

Kong Yang screamed in terror, trying to push the tree off, but it was fruitless.

After several fights, the subordinates of Lan XingruiRui no longer had the capacity to help him.

It was also his own fault for not being quick enough to seize the chance to escape.

The Electric Patterned Snake flicked its nostrils in the air and suddenly turned its blood-red eyes towards Kong Yang.

Kong Yang’s face turned ashen, nearly fainting from fear, yet the intense pain in his leg kept him conscious.

In a pathetic and terrified state, he cried out to Lan Weiying for help, the nearest person, "Second Miss, save me, please save me, I beg you to save me! I don’t need the money."

Lan Weiying’s face turned cold. She glanced back once and continued to distance herself from the battlefield.

Kong Yang watched desperately as the gray-white snake tail drew closer, his pupils dilating to the extreme.

Flesh and blood splattered, perhaps even brain matter, too horrifying to watch.

Qu Tong watched this scene indifferently from within her Mecha, turning her head to meet Lan XingruiRui’s sinister gaze.

Qu Tong sneered.

She knew today’s ordeal was aimed at her.

Did he really think he could kill her, even if it meant sacrificing a few insignificant others?

Or did he think it was worth trading her life for the punishment of his dereliction of duty?

Rumor had it that Lan XingruiRui was fond of his sister, not false indeed.

But she would not die!

After the Electric Patterned Snake killed Kong Yang, it turned its gaze towards Qu Tong.

Inside the Mecha, Qu Tong took out a sixth-tier Electric Patterned Snake Crystal Stone.

Without the isolation of the Space Button, the Electric Patterned Snake truly became enraged.

She had just piloted the mecha to release the spiritual power surrounding her body, and she also got stained with the scent on its scales.

Without giving her more time to think, the Electric Patterned Snake gathered strength in its tail, opened its gaping mouth, and charged directly at her.

Qu Tong maneuvered the mecha to make a quick turn, drawing a 360-degree circular arc, narrowly escaping from under the snake’s belly.

Just as Qu Tong was considering whether to risk revealing her strength to eliminate Lan XingruiRui with the assistance of the Star Beast, an Ion Beam Cannon shot hit the Electric Patterned Snake, thwarting its attempt to take to the skies again.

The Electric Patterned Snake fell to the ground, its dorsal scales bloodied and blurred; even the circle of green vegetation around it was scorched.

Another Ion Beam Cannon shot followed, hitting the same spot.

Until the third shot, the Sixth Tier Electric Patterned Snake’s entire head was blown through, and its massive body crashed to the ground, the upper half of its snake body scorched and bloody—a sight both shocking and appalling.

"Has the rescue finally arrived?" someone asked, coming to their senses from the staggering spectacle.

"No, it’s His Excellency the God of War’s Black Mecha!" someone exclaimed.

"Thank goodness! The Prince’s Consort is saved."

The Black Mecha docked outside the protective net, and a tall, handsome figure with frosty features stepped down.

He cast a cold glance at Lan XingruiRui, then his gaze turned toward the Green Mecha.

Qu Tong did not pilot the mecha to fly over; instead, she landed next to the body of the Electric Patterned Snake.

Using the steel knife on the mecha arm, she gouged out a somewhat shattered purple Crystal Stone, wiped it with her sleeve, and placed it inside the Space Button.

The crowd: "..."

A touch of helplessness flashed in Si Yuting’s eyes as he beckoned to Qu Tong, "Come here."

Qu Tong skirted around the snake’s tail and ran into Si Yuting’s arms.

"Your Excellency, I was so scared. It was such a huge snake; I almost never got to see you again."

The crowd was agape once more.

"!!"

Do you want to listen to what you just said?

To be so scared and yet so adept at dodging attacks.

You were just up close and personal with a bloody corpse, extracting Crystal Stones.

The one on the ground with a disfigured face—that’s the one who got scared to death, okay.

"Right, how could that person be together with Miss Blue Two and the others?" someone questioned, recalling the incident.

"Didn’t you see that the Prince’s Consort was there too? Isn’t it natural that they were together?"

"But didn’t he just say he didn’t want the money anymore?"

The crowd discussed back and forth, casting suspicious glances at Lan Weiying.

Lan Weiying, as if frightened, stared blankly at the ravaged battlefield, while Si Yuting, despite knowing Qu Tong was pretending, continued to pat her back gently.

The Excellency she knew always cared greatly about his image and never engaged in unseemly behavior in public.

But everything seemed to have changed since Qu Tong appeared.

The rescue team’s warships arrived tardily, halting behind Lan Xingye.

The protective shield opened, and the aides and instructors came forward, inquiring about the situation.

Si Yuting, expressionless, plucked Qu Tong from his embrace and wrapped his large palm around her slightly smaller hand, his gaze chilling as it swept over the crowd, finally resting on Lan XingruiRui’s face, "Captain Lan, I will reserve the right to hold you accountable for attempting to harm my wife. After the exam, we’ll meet at the military court."

Then, in full view of everyone, he led Qu Tong onto his aircraft.

"Sister Tong..." Fei Wenxing reached out but was held back by Cheng Yao.

"With His Excellency the God of War here, Sister Tong will be fine."

"No, I wanted to ask Sister Tong if I could borrow her mecha to use."

"I want to as well, but they’re probably heading back to the main camp by now, let’s ask tomorrow when we get back."

The aide, seeing his own Captain’s gloomy face, didn’t dare to say a word.
