Chapter 406: Green-Eyed Girl (7/10, Autumn Subscription)

Holy shit!

Fang Yue took the handkerchief from Lin Ling beside him with a blank expression, wiped his clean clothes, and warned Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu: "Stay away from me. Just protect Lord Han. The joy of reunion — I'm receiving it from afar."

After positioning Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, before long, all the survivors of Gu Yue Cun had gathered together.

This was everyone from Gu Yue Cun who had survived after the Wu Yu tribe destroyed the village — they couldn't even scrape together a hundred people! Only a mere seventy or eighty.

Lin Ling, as Chief Captain, began explaining the route ahead, the travel arrangements, and other matters to everyone.

Since this time there was no need for a forced march, the schedule was arranged normally, aiming to spend the nights in villages along the way.

Seeing that the arrangements here would still take some time, Fang Yue said goodbye to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu and the others, and logged out of the game first.

He had been unconscious in the game for a day and a night.

And that meant he had been unconscious for the same amount of time in reality.

That was terrifying.

You see, in the game his body could handle it — no matter how long he was unconscious, nothing would happen to him.

But in reality, being unconscious for three days without anyone to look after you, and a person would be nearly gone.

That was why Fang Yue wanted to find time to log out and deal with a small problem in reality.

Besides, since Fang Yue had been unconscious for a day and a night, Yuan Jie outside the game would definitely be worried.

First Bai Xiaoya's incident, and now his own day-and-night blackout — Fang Yue even suspected Yuan Jie might be secretly wiping away tears.

Carrying this worry, Fang Yue logged out of the game.

After Fang Yue logged out, Lin Ling was still commanding the team, carrying out the final headcount.

Lord Han's lone head was held level by the emotionless head-raisers, gazing ahead — no one knew what he was thinking.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, his pupils contracted and his expression changed drastically.

"Captain Lin! Put the whole team on alert! Something is coming from over there! Something terrifying!"

What?!

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, and once he reacted, his face changed drastically.

Although Lord Han had lost his body and was reduced to just a head, his strength had plummeted.

But in Lin Ling's heart, Lord Han was still the guardian deity who had once protected Gu Yue Cun — that supreme existence.

So when Lord Han shouted out, Lin Ling chose to believe him almost without any hesitation.

He roared for everyone to spread into formation, to be on full alert.

The atmosphere instantly turned tense.

Just a second ago, they had been discussing what to do once they reached Qingsi County.

Yet the next second, everyone had entered a combat state — even the little Xiao Xuedou in Jing Yan's arms was baring its teeth and barking.

A breeze blew past, fluttering the hems of their clothes.

The scene fell silent; everyone held their breath, waiting for the danger ahead to arrive.

"Is it the Wu Yu tribe?" Lin Ling stood by Lord Han's side and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. It might be a wild anomaly."

Lord Han was also not entirely sure.

But that momentary, inexplicable sense of dread just now was absolutely not wrong.

What was coming from over there was an extremely terrifying existence!

Whooosh—

Another gust of wind blew past, and everyone remained on full alert.

Perhaps because they were too tense, someone couldn't help but gulp.

And just then, at the end of the survivors' line of sight, ahead of the group, a black dot appeared.

"There it is!"

"Is that the thing?!"

"That's a girl?! A human?!"

When the black dot closed the distance at a near-explosive speed, moving in the fastest straight line between two points like mad, everyone finally saw what the person looked like — and froze in unison.

That… wasn't the Wu Yu tribe, but a human! A human girl they had never seen before — a girl whose eyes flickered with an emerald-green light.

An anomaly! Definitely an anomaly!

Hearts sank.

Although no one knew what level of anomaly had emerald-green flickering eyes.

The terrifyingly exaggerated speed, and that bizarre straight-line movement, gave everyone an uncanny, off-kilter, inhuman feeling.

"Wait! She is…"

Lord Han's expression froze, and he suddenly cried out.

But it was already too late.

When the green-eyed girl charged into the formation.

"Go!!"

At Lin Ling's command, everyone leaped forward with vicious, teeth-gritting fury — as if they meant to vent all the humiliation and rage they had suffered at the hands of the Wu Yu tribe onto this green-glowing girl who had conveniently appeared.

However…

Boom!!!

Those who had leaped forward flew back out exactly the way they had come in.

Lin Ling, sent flying backward, was completely dazed.

Because he felt that he hadn't even touched the girl before being blasted backward by a violent force.

How could this be?!

What level is this anomaly, and what is going on with this power?!

Lin Ling felt utterly defeated.

Ever since Fang Yue appeared, he seemed to have been taking blow after blow.

That feeling of being compared step by step, all the way to now.

Lin Ling even felt like he was nothing but trash.

No matter who the green-eyed girl was, she was not an opponent he could handle.

But when he saw the green-eyed girl charge straight toward Lord Han, the fury in Lin Ling's heart still flared up in an instant.

"You damned anomaly! Stop right there!! Your opponent is me!!"

After tumbling to the ground, Lin Ling roared madly and ran toward that direction.

But it was already too late—the green-eyed girl's speed was unbelievably fast.

In the blink of an eye, she had already rushed in front of Lord Han, and… passed right by him.

"Pa…per…"

Faintly, Lord Han seemed to hear the green-eyed girl's murmur.

Lord Han was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, he had even prepared himself for a desperate fight to the death.

But in the end, the result was… he had been ignored.

That thing's target was actually… Fang Yue!

"Xiao Ye!"

"Captain Ye!"

Lord Han and the others' voices rang out almost simultaneously.

But it was already too late—the green-eyed girl broke through everyone that easily and charged toward… Fang Yue!

"No!!!"

Lin Ling's eyes instantly turned blood red.

He simply could not accept Fang Yue dying right before his eyes—back when Fang Yue had been lost in thought, he had clearly been asked to take good care of him.

Yet just a moment ago, he had thumped his chest and sworn he would definitely protect Fang Yue well.

And the very next instant, the green-eyed anomaly that had leapt out had rushed right up to Fang Yue, about to kill him!

Not only did Lin Ling's face change drastically and his emotions surge, the others present at this moment all felt about the same as Lin Ling—everyone's heart was lodged in their throat, and they sprinted toward Fang Yue with every ounce of strength they had.

However… the gap in distance still kept them from making it in time.

Thud!!

A foot stomped down heavily, and the girl with green light flashing in her eyes stopped right in front of Fang Yue!

"Pa…per!"
