Chapter 527: Little Thirteen's Counterattack

I'm just an ordinary person; anyone who's like them is a lunatic!

Chase after them? I glanced at the mist in my hand, forget it; today she's cooking, it's time to cook.

No matter how fierce Sixth Brother is, he'll surely take good care of Little Thirteen, right?

This place is the second layer of Hell; the spirit beasts inside are mostly third-tier, but there is an area of second-tier spirit beasts.

We can't get past the first layer; I'll take you to this area's second-tier spirit beast zone. Lao Liu thought it over, but still explained.

Jiang Yunchu waved her hand. "It's fine; Sixth Brother's arrangements will do."

I only need to keep my life; no matter how the fight goes, Sixth Brother doesn't need to intervene.

Her voice was bland, her face showed no emotion, as if the recent battle had directly activated something within her.

"This area..." Lao Liu was just about to give an introduction.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, can you save my life in this area?"

Lao Liu paused; his earlier words were cut off just like that, yet he didn't get angry and showed no emotion.

Of course.

Those two affirmative words spoken, the person opposite curled their lip and said, "Since Sixth Brother is sure to protect my life, then..."

Let me explore on my own.

Subjective intent is not allowed!

She used his own words to interrupt him.

Lao Liu stared, then looked toward the back of the figure gripping a long sword and moving forward.

Like.

Too much like...

Jiang Yunchu, is that you?

At this moment, Jiang Yunchu was carefully watching her surroundings, feeling no gaze from behind, nor sensing the deep complexity in Lao Liu's eyes.

Just then, a creature suddenly rushed out.

A rabbit?

The rabbit's teeth were extremely sharp, nothing cute about them; if a modern little girl saw such a rabbit, she'd likely carry a lifelong fear of rabbits.

Its black fur was like steel spikes all over, leaving no vulnerable spot; with each hop it was already right before our eyes.

Its defense, attack, and even agility surpassed expectations.

"Old Six, you really know how to pick a place." Jiang Yunchu actually thought to say, "Old Six, you really are an old six!"

However...

She gripped the long sword, its crimson-red blade forming a blur, and thrust straight at the hopping rabbit.

Bang, pop...

Those sounds rang out between the Crimson Sky and the steel spikes, even throwing off sparks.

So hard?

Jiang Yunchu's eyes took on a solemn look.

While dodging, she carefully observed, searching for a weak point to attack.

The steel spikes repeatedly slashed her arms, yet she seemed unfazed; both arms were already soaked in blood.

This time Lao Liu didn't cultivate; he just kept watching, waiting for a moment to rescue.

Jiang Yunchu's Crimson Sky is her only reliable weapon at the moment.

The rabbit's steel teeth and bodily spikes are its weapons, making it seem like a fat rabbit that fears nothing, not even boiling water; it shows no fear of Jiang Yunchu's Crimson Sky.

No, the weak point.

Whether human or animal, there is always a weak point.

If there isn't one, it just means we haven't found it yet!

Where is the weak point?

She felt no pain, her eyes scanning the rabbit, and just then...

A patch of white fur suddenly appeared before Jiang Yunchu's eyes.

Just now, when the rabbit lifted its head sideways, there was only a fingernail-sized white patch on its neck; white ought to be noticeable, but it's simply too small.

This rabbit weighs about eighty jin, and its steel-spiked coat makes it appear somewhat larger.

If it hadn't been from the side just now, she wouldn't have seen that white patch at all.

Weak point!

Now that we've found the weak point, it's easy to deal with.

Jiang Yunchu tried to guide it, but the rabbit obviously knew its weak point; each time she was about to land a hit, the rabbit dodged.

No...

She can't keep going like this; her stamina is greatly depleted, yet the rabbit seems never to tire, its pair of red eyes constantly flashing.

Where are you running to!

Unlike the previous few attempts, where a missed strike would be instantly withdrawn, her long sword...

This time, she instead pressed forward; the rabbit sensed the spreading spiritual power behind it and immediately turned to attack.

Jiang Yunchu rolled, her long sword shifting angle as it scraped the ground, striking the rabbit's eye; as the rabbit instinctively dodged, a dagger pierced that white-furred spot.

Warm fresh blood spurted onto her hand.

Jiang Yunchu lay on the ground, panting heavily, the hushed breathing so quiet compared to the earlier battle.

Sixth Brother, save me.

Only after the battle ended did that weak voice call for help.

Lao Liu walked up helplessly, then looked down at her from above, "Now you know to call for help?"

"Do you not know, blood qi can attract many spirit beasts; by then a hundred rabbits could turn you into a hedgehog." Lao Liu looked at her, his expression serious as he gave that advice.

Jiang Yunchu smiled indifferently, then stood up from the ground, both arms trembling a little now, "Isn't... you here?"

……

Just saying "I" made Lao Liu stare blankly.

Recalling the past, "Jiang Yunchu, do you not know that to save someone you must first preserve your own life?"

The girl acted coquettishly, tugging at her own collar, "Liu er, isn't... you here?"

"If you weren't behind me, I wouldn't be fighting so hard!"

But today……

Her words suppressed all her fire, and she finally just sighed helplessly.

Jiang Yunchu!

Damn it, I really owe you!

He walked to her side, put away that rabbit, then extended a hand, a hand with distinct knuckles.

"Get up."

Lao Liu's voice carried a hint of helplessness and some indifferent coldness.

Jiang Yunchu's eyes flickered, then she grabbed that hand, using its strength to sit up.

Just then……

She suddenly struck, flipping the dagger directly, using Lao Liu's strength, she stabbed straight at his heart.

Lao Liu's eyes narrowed, he immediately sidestepped; he had wanted to jump away, but his hand was still held by her.

"Little Thirteen!" Lao Liu's voice inexplicably carried a low tone.

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, after missing the strike she stood up and tilted her head, "Six Brother's habit is good; he's always on guard."

After saying that, they both released the held hand.

Lao Liu smoothed his clothes, his steps forward had no hesitation, his voice unchanged from usual: "This Lost Land is extremely chaotic, not only having spirit beasts that attack the camp at any time, but also some unknown mysterious regions, as well as natural attacks."
