One person: I was already fighting the Heavenly Master, but the system just came

Along the way, Cai Xiaoxiao always found various opportunities to talk to Zhao Kai. Sometimes she said that her feet hurt and she couldn't walk, sometimes she said that the mountain was so dark and scary, and sometimes she praised Zhao Kai for his bravery and praised Zhao Kai highly.

Although Zhao Kai knew what Cai Xiaoxiao was thinking, he didn't know what to say at this time and could only deal with her perfunctorily.

Liu Yichen followed behind, watching what Cai Xiaoxiao did, his heart filled with disgust.

He whispered to Du Ruohong: "Ruohong, look at this Cai Xiaoxiao, she is so disgusting. She pretends to be weak and innocent, but in fact she is a scheming green tea."

Du Ruohong smiled helplessly and said, "Yi Chen, don't worry about her. Our top priority now is to get down the mountain safely. We can talk about other things after we get out."

The crowd trudged through the mountains and forests with difficulty, always alert to the movements around them.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. Cai Xiaoxiao screamed in fright and hugged Zhao Kai's arm tightly.

Cai Xiaoxiao trembled and said, "Brother Zhao Kai, is there another monster coming? I'm so scared..."

Zhao Kai gently patted Cai Xiaoxiao's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's just the sound of wind blowing the leaves."

Just then, a wild rabbit jumped out from the grass, scaring Cai Xiaoxiao so much that she screamed again.

Everyone looked at her cowardly appearance and felt a little amused.

Cai Xiaoxiao tightened her cloak and, with the support of Wang Lin, followed Zhao Kai with unsteady steps.

The group walked slowly along this gloomy path.

Cai Xiaoxiao shrank her neck, her face full of fear. She felt that the further she walked, the more eerie it became.

Normally, she is never like this, and she is not the kind of weak and timid girl.

I don’t know what happened today, I felt so cold!

She tugged at Wang Lin's sleeve and whispered, "Wang Lin, I really feel that this wind is very evil and sinister. It makes my whole body hairy. Is there something unclean in it?"

Wang Lin curled her lips and replied disapprovingly: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you are just too nervous. It's out in the wilderness, the wind is naturally cooler, where do those ghosts and gods come from?"

Liu Yichen listened at the side, with a mocking arc on his lips, and said leisurely: "Oh, Miss Cai's precious body is different. The wind can blow flowers out of it."

Cai Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Liu Yichen, stop making sarcastic remarks here! Do you think I want to be frightened like this?"

Liu Yichen crossed his arms and shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe Miss Cai wants to use this to attract the attention of certain people."

Cai Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned red: "You are talking nonsense! I think you are just jealous of Brother Zhao Kai's kindness to me!"

As she spoke, Cai Xiaoxiao blushed and glanced at Zhao Kai in front of her.

What Liu Yichen said was indeed correct.

If Cai Xiaoxiao hadn't done so many disgusting things in school to attract Zhao Kai's attention, Liu Yichen wouldn't have hated her so much.

But in fact, there is something about Liu Yichen and Cai Xiaoxiao's family that no one else knows.

The two people who happened to know about this matter started to fight each other thoroughly in Zhengzhong Middle School from then on.

At this time, Zhao Kai turned his head impatiently, frowned and scolded: "Xiaoxiao, don't make trouble at this time, just say useless words, cheer up!"

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Kai aggrievedly: "Brother Zhao Kai, I am very panicked and the wind is blowing hard on me. Can't you just care about me?"

However, Zhao Kai just glanced at her indifferently, and then fixed his gaze on Chu Tingting, who was standing in front of him with a dashing figure, his eyes full of admiration and appreciation.

Then, he turned to Cai Xiaoxiao and said, "Look at Tingting, she is so calm. Then look at you."

Chu Tingting was too lazy to pay attention to the dog-licking words.

It’s not that I’m too lazy to agree, but I’ve heard it so many times that my ears are callused, so it’s easy to just ignore it.

As Chu Tingting was walking, she suddenly stopped and the air around her instantly became tense.

Zhao Kai immediately ran to Chu Tingting like a pug and asked with a big smile on his face: "Tingting, what's wrong? Is there any danger? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chu Tingting frowned and asked anxiously, "Zhao Kai, have you seen Chu Hao? He was just behind us, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Zhao Kai looked bewildered, and said with his hands spread out: "Tingting, I really didn't notice. I was just busy checking whether you were in danger."

Chu Tingting looked at Du Ruohong again, and Du Ruohong hurriedly shook his head and quickly echoed, "Miss Chu, I don't know where Mr. Chu went either."

Liu Yichen folded his arms across his chest, stood aside and watched coldly, without saying a word.

Chu Tingting's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She raised her voice and pressed Zhao Kai again: "Zhao Kai, what's wrong with you? I remember that Chu Hao was called away by someone close to you. How could you not know? If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you!"

Zhao Kai was frightened by Chu Tingting's momentum, but he wanted to save face in front of everyone, so he said, "Tingting, don't worry. Maybe Chu Hao was scared and ran away secretly. Considering his cowardly appearance, it's good enough that he can get here now."

When Chu Tingting heard Zhao Kai slandering Chu Hao like this, she clenched her fists and glared at him: "Zhao Kai, don't go too far! Chu Hao is not the kind of person you said! He came here for everyone, how can you slander him like this!"

Zhao Kai replied with a guilty conscience: "I... I'm just guessing. This place is dark and spooky, who knows if he is..."

Chu Tingting interrupted him: "Enough! You are simply irresponsible!"

Cai Xiaoxiao whispered at the side: "Maybe Brother Zhao Kai is right. Brother Chu Hao usually looks a little timid."

Chu Tingting glared at Cai Xiaoxiao fiercely: "What do you know! You have no right to say anything about Chu Hao!"

Cai Xiaoxiao was so scared that she hid behind Wang Lin: "I...I was just talking."

Wang Lin also chimed in: "That's right, Miss Chu, don't be so fierce, everyone is worried."

Chu Tingting laughed in anger: "Worried? I think you just hope that Chu Hao gets into trouble!"

Liu Yichen snorted coldly at this time: "Miss Chu, what you said is unreasonable. Everyone is struggling to protect themselves, so how can they have the leisure to harm Chu Hao."

Chu Tingting turned to Liu Yichen: "Then why didn't you say anything just now? Do you also think Chu Hao is a coward?"

Liu Yichen curled his lips: "I didn't say that, I just think there is no need to quarrel here for a grown man."

But the situation was critical at the moment, and Chu Tingting had no time to argue with them too much. She could only glare at everyone and turn around to move forward.

However, Chu Tingting's appearance just now opened everyone's eyes.

They didn't even know that Chu Tingting cared so much about Chu Hao.

Zhao Kai was so angry that his teeth itched. "You damn Chu Hao, you'd better be eaten by the forest python monster. Otherwise, when I find you, I will skin you alive."

Zhao Kai didn't know what kind of magic potion Chu Hao had used on Chu Tingting. The goddess he had been thinking about for more than ten years had never spoken so much to him, but today she actually disregarded her own face for a brat like him.

Chu Tingting on the other side was also surprised. She didn't expect that she would lose control of her emotions in public. She knew that Chu Hao could not beat the rest of the people. This was a typical trolley problem.

To put it more bluntly, the dead are gone and the living are still alive.

But for some reason, my heart, which is usually as cold as an ice-covered lake, is still concerned about Chu Hao's safety today.

Chu Tingting didn't even know why she was still muttering in her heart: "Chu Hao, where did you go? You must be safe."

But... we still have to keep moving forward.

Just take a step forward and leave the rest to God.

The crowd groped forward cautiously and unknowingly stepped into a swamp.

The scene here is extremely weird. The branches around seem to be cast under an evil curse and are growing twistedly.

Some branches are like huge twists of dough, entwined with each other and spiraling upwards.

Some of them are abruptly bent into strange angles, as if they are struggling in pain.

The branches were covered with dark green moss, emitting a foul smell. From time to time, mucus dripped from the cracks, making a dripping sound, which was particularly creepy in this silent swamp.

The lush vines spread wildly, like a huge green spider web, covering the swamp.

These vines are as thick as pythons, covered with thorns and tumor-like bumps, and dark in color, almost black, as if they had been soaked in the sewage in the swamp for too long.

They are entangled with each other, and in some places they even form huge cages that are daunting.

The ground under my feet was soft and damp, and every step I took felt like it was being greedily swallowed by the swamp, making a heart-pounding "puffing" sound.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence.

Everyone looked up in horror, only to see a huge snake head hanging upside down on the tree, appearing before their eyes without any warning.

The snake's head was as big as a wheel. A cold light flickered on the triangular head. The blood-red vertical pupils were like the eyes of a devil, emitting an aura of cruelty and greed.

Its scales are dark black, and each one is as hard as iron. In the dim light, they sparkle with a chilling luster.

The snake's mouth was wide open, revealing fangs that were as long as arms and covered with disgusting mucus, as if it had just had a full meal.

The forked tongue kept moving in and out, making a hissing sound, as if declaring its territory to everyone.

Everyone was frightened out of their wits by this sudden horrific scene, their faces turning as pale as paper.

Cai Xiaoxiao's legs went limp and she collapsed into Wang Lin's arms, crying, "Help! What kind of monster is this!"

Wang Lin was also trembling with fear, but she still pretended to be calm and comforted her: "Sister Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Liu Yichen's face suddenly changed and he involuntarily took a few steps back, his eyes full of fear and vigilance.

Zhao Kai was also frightened. He hid behind everyone and shouted, "Everyone, be careful! Think of a solution!"

Chu Tingting took a deep breath, clenched the sword in her hand, stared at the snake head firmly, and shouted: "Don't be afraid, we will attack together!"

Cai Xiaoxiao cried and shouted: "How can I get on it? This snake is too scary!"

"You guys go ahead if you want to. Anyway, I've already done it. I'm injured now, so you guys should protect me."

Wang Lin also echoed: "That's right, we are no match for it! Besides, I have to protect Miss Cai Xiaoxiao!"

Liu Yichen snorted coldly: "That sounds nice, but why don't you go first!"

Chu Tingting glared at Liu Yichen: "It's already this hour, and you're still making sarcastic remarks! If you don't want to go up, then get out of the way!"

The others were speechless about Cai Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for Zhao Kai, Cai Xiaoxiao would probably never let mud get her shoes dirty in her life.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Tingting rushed towards the snake head waving a sword and shouted, "Watch out for the sword!"

The snake's head nimbly dodged the attack, then swung violently.

Then, a thick tail appeared out of nowhere and swept towards Chu Tingting. Chu Tingting quickly dodged sideways and shouted, "Everyone, attack its eyes!"

Du Ruohong and several others also rushed forward, but their attacks were like tickling to the snake.

The snake was enraged by the attacks of the crowd. It let out a deafening roar, and the entire swamp seemed to tremble.

Cai Xiaoxiao screamed in terror: "It's going to eat us! Let's run!"

Wang Lin also shouted: "Yes, run!"

Chu Tingting stopped them loudly: "Don't run, it will be more dangerous if you disperse!"

But at this time everyone had lost their composure and some began to flee in all directions.

The snake was chasing closely behind, its huge body moving quickly through the swamp, breaking branches and lifting vines wherever it went.

Zhao Kai ran and shouted: "Tingting, what should I do?"

Chu Tingting said anxiously: "I don't know either, let's find a place to hide first!"

Just when everyone was in desperate situation, a dense bush appeared in front of them.

Chu Tingting shouted, "Hide inside!" Everyone ran towards the bushes and hid inside without daring to breathe. The snake circled outside for a few times, as if looking for everyone's traces, and from time to time it hit the bushes with its body, which scared everyone.

After curling up in the bushes for half an hour, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, and every slightest movement could make their heartbeats speed up.

Only when the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's heavy breathing could be heard did they timidly decide to stick their heads out.

Carefully pushing aside the branches, everyone crouched and slowly walked out of the bushes.

For a moment, a thick white fog filled the air, spreading rapidly like a veil, covering the entire swamp tightly.

The fog came without warning, like a ghost emerging from deep underground, hazy and mysterious, making people feel as if they were in a chaotic world where dreams and reality were intertwined.

Cai Xiaoxiao tightly grasped Wang Lin's arm and said in a trembling voice: "What's going on with this fog? Why did it suddenly appear?"

Wang Lin also had a look of fear on his face, and he subconsciously protected Cai Xiaoxiao behind him, staring at his surroundings vigilantly.

Zhao Kai pretended to be calm and cleared his throat, but his slightly trembling voice still revealed his uneasiness: "Don't panic, let's take a look at the situation first."

Chu Tingting clenched the sword in her hand and stood there without saying a word, her eyes firmly penetrating the fog, trying to find possible dangers. (End of this chapter)
