The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Gu Ran was somewhat surprised.

Indeed, the words written on the team's flag were those of Lanxin University, which enjoys a prestigious reputation throughout the entire Human Alliance.

This is a scientific expedition team from Lanxin University.

If they encounter humans, even a group of heinous bandits, the reputation of Lanxin University can serve to instill fear in them.

Unfortunately, their opponents were a group of ferocious beasts who had no idea of ​​the prestige of Lanxin University.

"Strange, why are these ferocious beasts attacking them so frantically?"

Generally speaking, unless there is a beast tide, so many ferocious beasts will not gather in the wild to attack humans, because they will fight each other first.

Only when a beast tide occurs can the beasts abandon their desire to kill each other and transform it into a desire to kill humans.

Roar!

A large brown bear, its canines mutated and growing several times their original size, drooled and its eyes were filled with madness as it slapped at the team's vehicle with one paw.

With a loud bang, the car was smashed into a flat "pancake".

Fortunately, there was no one left in the car, so the attack did not cause any casualties.

But the team knew that if they didn't have a good way to deal with it, the next time that bear paw, harder than steel, would strike them.

"Has the distress signal been sent out? How long will it take for the rescuers from the city to arrive?" a woman with triangular eyes screamed.

"Captain Ye, we've sent an emergency distress signal to the school. The school replied that a rescue team will be here soon, within two hours at most. They told us to hold on a little longer?"

The triangular-eyed woman, known as "Captain Ye," immediately shrieked, "Two hours? We won't even have to wait another hour before we become the beast's meal!"

"Where is the martial arts grandmaster? Why didn't the school send a martial arts grandmaster? If it were, they could definitely get here to save us as quickly as possible!"

Although the situation was still critical, everyone couldn't help but mentally complain.

Martial arts master?

Do you think a martial arts grandmaster is your bodyguard? You think you can just send a martial arts grandmaster whenever you want?

Although Lanxin University does have many martial arts masters serving as school guards, they rarely leave the school. A research team like theirs would probably be wiped out, and they still couldn't get a single martial arts master to come.

"I, Ye Liqing, am the most talented scientific research genius among the younger generation. The school will definitely not abandon me! The school will definitely send a martial arts master to save me!" As if trying to convince herself, Ye Liqing kept repeating the words she was muttering.

What kind of time is this to still pin our hopes on such vague and unrealistic things? With that time and energy, we'd be better off taking a weapon and helping the squad hold this temporary position; that would actually give us a better chance of survival.

The crowd grew increasingly contemptuous of Ye Liqing, wondering why this so-called scientific genius who got in through connections had been assigned to their team.

Not only is he ambitious and eager for quick success, but he is also extremely arrogant. He looks down on this and that, and when he goes out for scientific research and investigation, he is stubborn and self-willed, completely refusing to listen to any advice and deciding on his research path entirely according to his own preferences.

Is this a scientific expedition or a field trip?

Eventually, they encountered the group of ferocious beasts on their route.

The beasts attacked so suddenly that they were caught completely off guard and killed without warning.

The leader of their guard team, a martial arts cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage, was killed instantly by the ferocious beast, which was completely unexpected for all of them.

The guard leader was instantly killed, and the other guards seemed to be caught off guard and half of them were killed, leaving only three people.

If it weren't for the fact that the remaining three guard teams of the scientific expedition took up arms and launched a counterattack, they probably wouldn't have lasted even ten minutes.

Despite her various flaws, Ye Liqing's intelligence returned to normal in an instant when faced with such danger. She took out her gun and fired wildly at the ferocious beasts in front of her.

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, Ye Liqing emptied the magazine of her pistol, and her only result was that she had inflicted a minor injury on a gray wolf.

"Hahaha, all of you, die! Die!" Ye Liqing laughed loudly, as if she had already killed all the ferocious beasts on the scene and escaped the crisis.

The three guards exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

If they could turn back time, they would have desperately tried to persuade their leader not to take on this mission. Not only were they attacked by ferocious beasts, but they also ended up with someone to protect.

Despite their inner complaints, they weren't in the mood to argue with Ye Liqing at this moment. They were only focused on stalling for time until the rescue team arrived.

With modern Star Stone technology weapons, even those researchers in the team who are not very strong can still pick up weapons and cause great damage to the ferocious beasts.

This is also why they were able to persist for so long after losing their guard team leader, a martial arts expert at the Qi Condensation level.

Although they temporarily thwarted the beast's attack, a huge shadow still lingered in their hearts.

They could never forget the sight of their leader being killed in a single blow, and the ferocious beast that killed the leader turned out to be just an ordinary elite beast.

Should we save the research team from Lanxin University?

Gu Ran, who was watching from a distance, fell into thought. He now roughly understood the situation. If he didn't take action, the ferocious beasts would break through the formation of this team within half an hour.

By then, the research team would have suffered heavy casualties, and might even have been completely wiped out.

Suddenly, the triangular crystal cone in Gu Ran's pants pocket started moving, straining in the direction of the research team, as if trying to get him to go there.

"What's going on? I thought this had nothing to do with me, that I only needed to consider some abstract moral issues, but I never expected it to be related to a triangular crystal pyramid?"

In an instant, Gu Ran made a decision.

"Forget it, let's save them. I remember Lanxin University is recruiting new students soon, and if we're lucky, we might even get the principal's favor and become his personal disciple... Maybe I'll be able to use the connections I make this time?"

Gu Ran chuckled to himself.

Of course, Gu Ran knew that he could no longer use these connections, since he was going to leave Canglong City to go to Zhuque City to find his sister. What would it mean to stay in Canglong City?

After making the decision, Gu Ran immediately used swift and decisive methods. All the ferocious beasts that were besieging the research team seemed to encounter an invisible barrier. However, before they could figure out the barrier, they found that their bodies had all been split in two.

Gu Ran gently brandished the dagger he had snatched from the bounty hunter, slicing it across the bodies of the various ferocious beasts, almost cutting them in two.

......

Outside the light screen, Xue Xiling's expression was somewhat complicated.

She was in that team at the time, and this should have been her first meeting with Gu Ran.

118. Is this timid, submissive girl Xue Xiling? 4k

Xue Xiling still vividly remembers that encounter from back then.

"Why did I meet you? If I hadn't met you, would none of this have happened?" Xue Xiling felt bitter.

But when she thought about it, and realized that she might not have met Gu Ran, a sense of reluctance suddenly arose in her heart.

If it weren't for Gu Ran, she probably wouldn't have changed. Besides, Gu Ran had saved their lives back then. Without Gu Ran, she might have already become food for the ferocious beast.

The complex and conflicted feelings of Xue Xiling are unknown to outsiders.

......

For Gu Ran, dealing with these ferocious beasts was not an easy task.

Even though he has neither superpowers nor martial arts skills at this moment, he can clearly know the weaknesses of the ferocious beasts because he is integrated with his surroundings. Moreover, his physical strength is even stronger than most martial arts masters, which is enough for him to crush these ferocious beasts.

"Is it the school's rescue team?!"

The members of the research team were pleasantly surprised.

"Why did it take you so long? I almost died!" Ye Liqing's face lit up with joy when she saw Gu Ran coming to her rescue, but she immediately started complaining.

"No, he shouldn't have been sent by the school. He doesn't have the insignia of Lanxin University on him, and the rescue team sent by the school wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

Upon seeing Gu Ran's tattered clothes, someone immediately realized that Gu Ran should have no connection with their Lanxin University.

However, Gu Ran quickly dealt with those ferocious beasts that they considered extremely troublesome with his dagger, which made them dare not underestimate him.

"Report, report, this is B13 team, this is B13 team. We're out of danger for now, we're out of danger for now. An unidentified man... oh no, an unidentified teenager saved us. He's very handsome, but his clothes are badly damaged, suggesting he's been wandering in the wilderness for a long time..."

After escaping danger, one of the guards immediately took out a small communicator and quietly reported the situation.

Although she spoke softly, Gu Ran, who was immersed in the environment, still heard what she said.

"They're quite professional."

After making a mental assessment, Gu Ran plunged a dagger into the heart of the brown bear beast, killing the last ferocious beast at the scene.

In fact, with his strength, he could easily take down these ferocious beasts without a dagger, but that would be too violent and bloody, and might frighten children.

"It's alright now." Gu Ran reached out and smiled as he patted the head of the small, thin figure huddled in the corner.

This "little friend" is the target that caused the triangular crystal pyramid to move abnormally.

In fact, the thin figure was also holding a gun. Although he looked somewhat timid, he did not completely run away, but instead faced the ferocious beasts head-on.

There was a ferocious wolf in front of her, which was just a hair's breadth away from biting her body, but the wolf's throat was broken and a large pool of blood flowed out, stopping it there.

The petite figure stared blankly at Gu Ran. When Gu Ran withdrew his hand, she let out an "Ah!" and her face turned red. She looked completely at a loss.

"This latency is a bit high," Gu Ran thought, finding it amusing.

Although the petite figure was dressed rather plainly, with short, ear-length hair, thick-rimmed black glasses, and a baggy white lab coat, it was still clear that she was a girl.

"Can you tell me your name?" Gu Ran smiled slightly, trying to appear as friendly as possible.

"I...I'm called..." The thin figure stammered, looking shy and hesitant to speak.

"Oh, her? She's the invisible one in our team. Don't worry about her name." Ye Liqing's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Ran's handsome face, and she walked up to him and said.

"Thank you so much for saving me. The school's rescue team was too slow. If it weren't for you, I would have died in this desolate place. Come home with me, my dad will definitely thank you properly."

The rest of the expedition team felt embarrassed, but because Ye Liqing was the team's highest "leader," they could only pretend not to hear and tidy up the battlefield or pack their belongings.
