Chapter 168: A Treasure Containing the Laws of Space
Who would have thought that Ye Jingjing would react so strongly!
It was as if she had some kind of illness!
Liu Lan was utterly stunned:
"Jingjing! I was just trying to protect you..."
Besides! I wasn't even planning to kill it...
"Enough!"
Ye Jingjing angrily interrupted her!
She roared, "That's no excuse for you to kill indiscriminately!"
She turned around! Only to see the massive Ferocious Beast lying helplessly on the ground!
It stuck out its pink tongue! Desperately! Licking the cookie crumbs that Ye Jingjing had just dropped on the ground...
Seeing this, Ye Jingjing's heart ached, and tears streamed down her face: "Look!"
"It didn't want to eat anyone!"
"It just wanted some cookies!"
"But you were ready to kill it without even understanding the situation!"
"I beg you!"
"Please let it go!"
...
Seeing her cry so sorrowfully, as if it were her own father lying there!
All the unrealistic hopes Liu Lan had for her gradually faded away!
She sighed.
Muttering to herself, "It almost bit your head off just now, and you're talking about cookies..."
...
Suddenly, Ye Jingjing stopped crying.
She stormed over to Liu Lan! From the bag of rations!
She grabbed a pack of compressed biscuits! Then walked back to the Ferocious Beast.
She crouched down!
Ye Jingjing carefully tore open the packaging.
Placing the biscuit near the beast's mouth.
She gently comforted it:
"Little beastie!"
"Don't be afraid, eat up!"
"I won't let the bad people hurt you!"
...
"Roar!"
But just as the Ferocious Beast opened its gaping maw to eat the biscuit!
Perhaps its movement was too sudden!
Ye Jingjing was startled! "Ah!"
She screamed! Instinctively grabbing the small knife on her!
She stabbed it into one of the beast's eyes!
Then quickly ran back to Liu Lan's side! "Aow!!!"
The Ferocious Beast howled in agony! Rolling around in pain!
Liu Lan was also startled: "Jingjing, what happened to it?"
Ye Jingjing stood in front of Liu Lan!
Guilty and panicking, she said:
"What do you mean?"
"It's just so happy to eat the biscuit I gave it!"
"Don't worry about it! Let's get out of here!"
With that!
She hurriedly pushed and pulled Liu Lan! They quickly left! Leaving behind the Ferocious Beast, which was now on the brink of death!
Roaring in fury!
...
Not long after! The "beggars" who had earlier stopped Liu Lan and Ye Jingjing to ask for supplies! Followed the marks Ye Jingjing had left.
They arrived at the same spot.
They found the knife marks Ye Jingjing had left on a tree, confirming they were on the right path.
...
But at that moment!
A massive Ferocious Beast!
Suddenly leaped out from the bushes!
"Watch out!"
The person at the front of the group had just shouted two words!
When the Ferocious Beast, descending from above, bit off half of his body!
Everyone was terrified! But the Ferocious Beast.
With a look of pure ferocity, chewed the half-body in its mouth, then spat it out on the ground!
It turned around.
Seeing another group of humans! Its one remaining eye was filled with intense hatred!
"It's a B-level Ferocious Beast! Be careful!"
"This beast is insane! It's not hunting for food, it's just killing to vent its rage!"
"It must have been hurt by humans before, so it's hostile toward us!"
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions!...
The Ferocious Beast targeted one of them and pounced! That person immediately activated their Superpower, forming a shield in front of their chest! But! This Ferocious Beast was currently in a frenzied state of desperation!
Its power surged!
With a single swipe of its paw!
It shattered the shield!
The person was sent flying and landed far away, their face contorted in pain!
The others, witnessing this, were utterly horrified!
They feared another deadly battle was about to ensue! Fortunately! At this critical moment! The only woman among them stepped forward! "A mere Ferocious Beast dares to act so recklessly?!"
She shouted, pulling out a crystal ball the size of an apple from her bosom and hurling it at the crazed beast!
Then she yelled:
"Activate!"
Instantly!
The crystal ball emitted an intensely blinding white light, as if it were about to devour the entire world!
"Roar!"
The terrifying body of the Ferocious Beast quickly vanished within the light!
...
Until the light dissipated!
The crystal ball floated back into the woman's hand! And now! Inside the crystal ball! There was a creature the size of a flea!
It was hopping around wildly inside! Upon closer inspection, one could see—it was the Ferocious Beast, only greatly shrunken! Seeing this.
The others finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to praise her:
"Little sister's spatial artifact is truly formidable!"
"Nonsense! This is the power of the law! Even an A-level Ferocious Beast wouldn't be able to escape!"
"It's practically invincible!"
...
But the woman holding the crystal ball!
After performing such a feat, her face visibly paled!
Clearly!
Activating this artifact had taken a significant toll on her!
She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred: "Those two bitches! They deliberately left a Ferocious Beast here to ambush us! They killed Second Brother!"
"Once we reach the villa area and clear out the supplies there!"
"Let's kill them and avenge Second Brother!"
...
"We're here, we're here!"
Meanwhile! Liu Lan and Ye Jingjing finally arrived at the Jiangbei Villa District!
Ye Jingjing excitedly stomped her feet:
"Wow! Is this the villa district where the rich live?"
"Jingjing feels so at home here, as if Jingjing was born to belong here!"
"Indeed, Jingjing is destined to be a princess!"
Then!
She blinked her eyes and asked Liu Lan, who had been standing beside her without saying a word: "Teacher Liu! Since we're living in a villa now, will there be servants to take care of us in the future?"
Liu Lan, hearing this, glared at her with annoyance: "It's the apocalypse! Where would we find servants to take care of you?"
Now! She was increasingly annoyed by this utterly clueless Ye Jingjing! She felt that every word she spoke to her was draining her energy!
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ye Jingjing looked worried:
"But, I'm a complete novice at life, I don't have much life experience!"
"So in the future, I might have to trouble Teacher Liu to take care of me often!"
Liu Lan: "..."
Because there are no servants, she wants to turn me into her servant? Liu Lan decided she was completely done with this woman!...
"Hey, you two ladies, you walk so fast!"
Just then!
The beggars from earlier emerged from the forest behind them! Liu Lan's expression changed immediately upon seeing them: "Why are you here?!"
The terrain of that primeval jungle was incredibly complex! If Liu Lan hadn't already traversed it once with Zhou Feng and the others, she wouldn't have been able to find her way at all!
So how did these people manage to follow them so precisely? Who was guiding them? Could it be...
She glanced at Ye Jingjing in surprise! But Ye Jingjing had already had enough of Liu Lan's accusatory gaze! At that moment!
She tilted her head slightly, bravely stepped forward, and declared with righteous indignation: "That's right! I brought them here!"
"Teacher Liu! Don't you think they're pitiful?"
"They won't consume much of your supplies even if they come here!"
"Can't you just eat a little less yourself and let more people survive?"
Hearing this!
Liu Lan could no longer hold back!
This woman was simply insane!
She gritted her teeth: "It's easy for you to say! Why don't you share your own supplies with them?!"
Sensing that Liu Lan was truly angry this time, Ye Jingjing felt a bit uneasy! But she merely shrunk her neck and said in a softer voice: "Teacher Liu! Jingjing has always considered you family, so what's yours is mine, right..."
...
But at that moment! The woman among the group took a step forward, her eyes filled with malice:
"Bitch!"
"Who the hell cares about your measly supplies!"
"You deliberately left a wounded Ferocious Beast on the path, causing my second brother's death!"
"Tell me, what are you going to do about it?!"
Hearing this!
Ye Jingjing's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly defended herself: "No!"
"I'm so kind, how could I possibly harm you on purpose?"
Then!
She suddenly pointed at Liu Lan, exclaiming:
"It was her fault!"
"It's all because of you!"
"Liu Lan! Why didn't you kill that Ferocious Beast?!"
"You're too soft-hearted!"
"Ferocious Beasts are, after all, enemies of humanity!"
"You've betrayed humanity!"
"That person's death is all your fault!"
...
But this time!
Liu Lan didn't bother arguing with Ye Jingjing! Instead, she fixed a solemn gaze on the group!
They, too, sensed the killing intent! And so, both sides locked eyes!
The tension was palpable!
...
Seeing that the group had indeed turned their accusations toward Liu Lan, Ye Jingjing hopped over to them, blinking her eyes and speaking in a playful tone:
"Sorry about that! It's all Teacher Liu's fault!"
"But!"
"Jingjing is willing to apologize on her behalf!"
"Please forgive..."
Before she could finish.
A man stepped forward!
Without a word! He slapped Ye Jingjing's overly innocent face!
"Ah!"
Ye Jingjing's body was instantly sent flying!
She spun several times in the air!
Before crashing to the ground!
"Ugh!"
She spat out a mouthful of blood!
Amid the blood.
Were several teeth!
