NOVEL NEXT Chapter 160.1: Desperation
(Xiao Yan, hurry! It’s not safe to stay here!)
Seeing Yue Mei single-handedly blocking 4 Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level), Yao Chen immediately urged Xiao Yan to leave in her heart.
This might be Xiao Yan’s only chance to escape from the current trouble.
After that, he just needed to find a way to reunite with the cloaked woman, locate Xiao Li, clarify the information about the buyers behind the slave traders, and report it to the Snake-People Queen. That would solve the entire situation!
Xiao Yan looked at Yue Mei’s back, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth.
In his heart, there was a strong sense of unwillingness.
Once again, once again!!!
Once again, because of his insufficient strength, things had escalated to this point!!!
Although Xiao Yan hadn’t met Yue Mei before, from her words just now, he could tell that she was friends with his sister, Xiao Li. The reason she betrayed her companions to save him was for the sake of her sister or perhaps for the future reconciliation between Humans and the Snake-People.
But regardless of the reason, for Xiao Yan, Yue Mei was risking her life for him!
(Don’t just stand there! Go!)
Seeing Xiao Yan still rooted in place, Yao Chen became anxious.
(Xiao Yan! For the sake of your sister’s ideals! You can’t get involved in this any longer!)
Hearing Yao Chen’s words, despite Xiao Yan’s reluctance, he turned around, activated the Purple Cloud Wings, and quickly fled into the distance.
Senior Yao is right.
He couldn’t die now, at least not at the hands of the Snake-People!
If he died at the hands of the Snake-People, the future reconciliation between the Snake-People and Humans would be completely ruined!!!
This was the burden when a person’s life, even their life and death, was no longer in their own hands, whether it was by choice or circumstance.
On the other side, Yin Shi who was confronting Yue Mei became frantic as they saw Xiao Yan gradually getting away.
Although Xiao Yan’s speed wasn’t as fast as theirs, once he disappeared from their sight, where could they find him?!
“Yue Mei, move aside for me!”
A powerful aura emerged from Yin Shi, and he glared at Yue Mei with a cold gaze, his voice becoming icy.
“I don’t want my hands stained with the blood of colleagues!”
“I feel the same way.” Yue Mei glanced at Xiao Yan, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She looked at Yin Shi and said calmly, “But as I said before, I’ve made a promise.”
Seeing the determined expression on Yue Mei’s face, Yin Shi’s heart sank.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
“If that’s the case, don’t blame me.” Yin Shi suddenly opened his aged eyes, filled with resolute determination. “Hua She Wang, Nan She, accompany me in capturing Yue Mei. If she resists stubbornly, then–kill her!”
Upon hearing this, Hua She Wang and Nan She, the two leaders, were shocked.
Before the two could react, Yin Shi turned to Kui Xing.
“Kui Xing! Go after that kid. We can’t let him leave alive!”
“Leave it to me!”
Kui Xing immediately responded, about to cross Yue Mei to chase after Xiao Yan, when an illusory blue serpent suddenly appeared behind Yue Mei, blocking Kui Xing’s path.
“Yue Mei! You?!”
Kui Xing stared fiercely at Yue Mei, even he felt annoyed by Yue Mei repeatedly blocking their way!
Facing Kui Xing’s intense gaze, Yue Mei showed no fear.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and with a calm tone despite the circumstances, she said, “I said, if you want to go after him, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
“Yue Mei! Do you really not care about your life?!”
The murderous intent in Yin Shi’s heart was finally stirred up.
“I have tolerated your unconventional behavior as a colleague. Do you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?!”
“Please don’t misunderstand, Tribe Leader Yin. Yue Mei is resolute, not reckless.” Yue Mei said in a low voice, staring firmly at the aged eyes of Yin Shi. “I just believe that this is what I should do, nothing more.”
“Good! Fine!”
Hearing Yue Mei’s response, Yin Shi nodded repeatedly, waved his hand to the other three, and said, “Forget about capturing Yue Mei! Just kill her!”
“Since she said so, we don’t need to consider our camaraderie anymore!”
“As she wishes, we’ll step over her corpse to kill that kid!!!”
At this point, Hua She Wang, Nan She, and Kui Xing no longer hesitated.
If they hesitated any longer, Xiao Yan would truly escape!!!
