The jade pendant connects the past and present; the exiled crown prince's wife takes her entire

Suddenly, a sentence from Song Yanxi popped into Song Wanzhen's mind as she was pushed to the front.

We are family.

But now her so-called family members are pushing her out without hesitation!

She thought of her mother and elder brother who had always protected her, and of Jiang Jinning who always treated her with a smile. Had she been blinded by greed? How could she speak ill of her sister-in-law and stab her own loved ones in the heart just because of a few words from outsiders?

How ironic.

Song Wanzhen burst into tears. She regretted it, she was so regretful!

But just then, a pair of thin but strong hands appeared on her arms—no, two pairs, three pairs!

What came into view was Jiang Jinning, who looked worried. She used her thin arms to pull herself up with gritted teeth, and then her mother and eldest brother came to help, pulling her up together.

Song Wanzhen, however, only looked at Jiang Jinning, who had reached out to her first.

She felt that Jiang Jinning radiated a light, which was dazzling.

"What are you standing there for!"

Song Wanzhen was startled awake by her elder brother's reprimand. Turning her head, she saw a large insect that seemed to be watching her from close range, and her legs went weak with fright.

It, it, it's right in front of her, drooling over her!

The tiger seemed to be pondering something, remaining motionless. When she was young, she had seen her father and several lieutenants catch even larger tigers, much stronger than this one. But even the thinnest tiger was still a tiger!

"I...I can't walk anymore, don't worry about me, just run!"

"Silly child, how can your mother leave you here? Your father and sister are gone, but your mother would never abandon you!"

Zhao wiped away her tears, put Song Wanzhen on her back, and tried to carry her.

"I'll do it!"

Without saying a word, Song Qingyan took Song Wanzhen and carried her on his back.

"elder brother!"

Song Wanzhen still remembered the injury on his back, so how could he carry her on his back!

"If you say another word, I'll carry you away, and then you'll be the one who looks bad!"

The three quickly escaped the tiger's den.

Perhaps it was because the family of four was lucky. The big insect originally thought there were only a few scattered humans around, and it was planning to catch a few more to store for several days' worth of food. However, it did not expect there to be so many humans. It hesitated for a moment, which gave them a chance to escape. By the time it came to its senses, they had already run far away.

It originally intended to leave, but seeing so many fragrant humans, it was so tempted that it opened its mouth and roared, continuing its pursuit.

It did not chase after Jiang Jinning. One of the four people, a tall human, had an unfriendly look in his eyes. It preferred to find soft targets!

So, the determined worm chased after the Yuan Jie Cha, whom it had encountered before. That human coward was a coward; chasing him would get it more food!

Yuan Jiechai finally managed to shake off the tiger, but he was slow and his buttocks were chafed painfully by the thing, which further affected his speed. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the tiger came toward him again.

He quickly looked around and, fortunately, there was a small, inconspicuous hole not far away, which the big worm couldn't pass through, so he could hide there.

But when he looked closely, he saw that Song Qingyan, who had been running ahead, had turned around for some reason and was not far from him.

Yuan Jiecha narrowed his eyes, quickly weighed the options, abandoned the cave, and chased after Song Qingyan.

As soon as he ran, the tiger naturally followed, deliberately slowing down and chasing him as if it were playing.

With the large insect chasing at a leisurely pace, Yuan Jiechai quickly caught up with Song Qingyan and his companions. He walked alongside Song Qingyan, and when Song Qingyan wasn't paying attention, Yuan Jiechai reached out and forcefully pushed him backward, then ran frantically forward.

The large insect behind it had been waiting for this person to bring it food. It was opening its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and its two front claws were ready. With just one claw, it could finish off the tiny human.

But it didn't expect it to be that human with such a terrifying look in his eyes. It instinctively tried to retract its claws, but it was too late. So, it became fierce and decided to use all its strength to deal with the human who didn't take it seriously.

"Young General!"

"Qingyan, Wanzhen!"

Jiang Jinning and Zhao Shi exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

If Song Qingyan were in his prime, or if he wasn't carrying anyone, he could avoid being pushed. However, his back injury hadn't fully healed, and he was carrying Song Wanzhen on his back. Even if he tried to turn to the side to avoid it at the first moment, he couldn't completely avoid it. He could only forcefully turn around and rush his body towards the tiger.

Just then, without thinking, Jiang Jinning fired the crossbow from her wrist.

The crossbows purchased from the fairy realm have been modified and are now lethal. Even if they only use wooden arrows, they can still injure people at close range. However, the tiger's fur is thick, so it is not necessarily possible to be injured. But Jiang Jinning was extremely lucky and shot the tiger in the left eye with just one shot.

The tiger was injured in its left eye and frantically tried to pry the arrow out with its front paws, but the arrow only went deeper and deeper into the hole. It roared loudly in pain.

"Run!"

Song Wanzhen's legs were no longer weak, and the whole family took off running.

We have to run now! The tiger has injured its eye and will only become more irritable, and it might not care about anything else!

Sure enough, the injured worm had lost its hunting pleasure. With its single, bloodshot eye, it chased straight after Jiang Jinning.

Seeing that things were not going well, Song Qingyan quickly pulled the person over and tried to pick her up and carry her away, but she suddenly shook off her and ran in another direction.

"Young general, quickly take Mother and Wanzhen and run! I'll lure the tiger away!"

"Are you crazy? Come back here!"

Song Qingyan knew she was foolish, but he didn't expect her to be so foolish at this critical moment. Seeing the tiger chasing after Jiang Jinning, he told Zhao Shi and Song Wanzhen to run away quickly, and then he rushed in her direction.

Jiang Jinning wasn't just wandering around aimlessly; she didn't want to die.

While traveling at night, she discovered a deep pit in the mud nearby. She lingered around it for a while, but Officer Chen specifically told her that this kind of pit was unfathomably deep and that she must be very careful and not linger.

Where is she leading the giant insect?

Perhaps it was the will to survive that triggered her potential, or perhaps the surrounding woods were not conducive to the insect's pursuit, but the insect could not catch up with her and even lost its way. It became more and more agitated, slapping the surrounding trees with its front paws. Soon, several trees in the forest fell down, almost crushing her!

But because of this, Jiang Jinning was finally able to get rid of the tiger for the time being.

However, the disoriented tiger lingered near Chen Jiechai, and then Yuan Jiechai caught up with it.

Yuan Jiechai looked at Chen Jiechai beside him, his thoughts racing.

The boss will definitely convict him afterward, and Chen Jiechai, who is of equal rank to him, will surely gain his favor.

If he dies...

Everyone was running, and no one noticed the knife being raised...

"Officer Chen!"

Jiang Jinning shouted, stopping Yuan Jiechai and attracting the tiger.

Yuan Jiechai forcefully pushed Chen Jiechai towards the tiger, and the tiger lunged forward, its sharp claws tearing through Chen's shoulder.

The smell of blood quickly filled the air, making the worm even more excited.

Jiang Jinning fired another arrow from the crossbow on her wrist, but clearly, her luck wasn't so good this time.

"Run southeast!"

Despite the pain in his shoulder, Chen Jiecha ran after them. He remembered there was a pit there, and Jiang Jinning was going to lure the beast there!

But tigers have an innate survival instinct in the jungle. It seemed to sense that the two were leading it to a bad place, so it suddenly sped up, wanting to kill the two annoying humans on the spot.

It opened its blood-red maw and even lunged forward to attack Chen Jiechai.

Jiang Jinning shot another arrow, which went straight into its mouth and slit its throat.

The tiger was in even greater pain; the agony of swallowing the arrow drove it into a frenzied counterattack, its claws relentlessly destroying everything in their path. Chen Jiechai tried to finish it off, but the tiger swung its sword, sending him crashing into a tree. He was so overwhelmed by the pain that he lost consciousness, and his broadsword fell to the ground.

Jiang Jinning stood there all alone; she had run out of arrows.

She calmed down strangely, picked up everything she could find as a weapon to defend herself, and still clutched the small knife she had bought in Wonderland.

She forcefully flung the knife, and the worm instinctively opened its mouth and swallowed it!

The worm roared again and then pounced on Jiang Jinning.

"Run!" Officer Chen shouted!

But the giant worm was even faster, and Jiang Jinning couldn't outrun it at all!

Just then, Song Qingyan leaped onto the tiger's back, using a collapsed tree nearby as a springboard. He was holding a large knife that Chen Jiechai had dropped, and he plunged it into the tiger's forehead!

The worm struggled for only a moment before collapsing to the ground with a thud!
