Unable to Do It

"...Don't!"

Xia Chujian couldn't help but cry out.

She steeled her heart, and without a second thought, the barrel of her Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun probed into Small Dog's little grass nest, pressing against its newly opened puppy mouth.

Small Dog's furry, chubby, and round little body jolted violently.

It seemed completely unexpected that Xia Chujian would aim something like that at it! It bit the barrel, staring blankly at Xia Chujian.

The headlamp on Xia Chujian's helmet on the ground was so bright, it almost blinded its eyes.

But it still stared fixedly at Xia Chujian, revealing a mouthful of small milk teeth, and continued to bare its teeth at Xia Chujian.

In its heart, it probably thought it had struck the most ferocious pose, but in Xia Chujian's eyes, it was still so cute it was sickening.

Was this cute and harmless Small Dog really going to die by her gun like this?

Xia Chujian had killed people before, and she had no psychological barriers to killing animals.

Besides, she was doing it to save her aunt.

Without this Kong Sang, her aunt would die from a severe genetic disease, without a doubt.

Her gaze gradually turned cold, and her finger tightened on the trigger.

As long as she applied a little more force, the Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun, with its powerful killing power, would turn this cute little puppy into a cloud of blood mist.

Small Dog still didn't back down.

It lay on the ground, calling "Wu Er Fu, Wu Er Fu" in a low voice, but still stood in front of that Kong Sang, fearless! One second passed, two seconds passed...

One minute passed, five minutes passed.

Xia Chujian still maintained this posture.

Her gun was pressed against Small Dog, but her finger was frozen on the trigger, unable to pull it.

She knew clearly that if she didn't get the Kong Sang, her aunt would certainly die! She was acting for her own benefit, forced to steal this Small Dog's thing...

But Xia Chujian really couldn't bring herself to do it.

Ten minutes later, she finally released her finger from the trigger and moved the barrel away with a blank expression.

Xia Chujian sat on that open space with a wooden face, her eyes staring blankly ahead, unfocused.

Although she didn't say a word, her entire body posture was telling of extreme sadness and indignation.

It was like a volcano about to erupt, but the gap at the top of the mountain was suddenly covered, and not a single flame could erupt.

Extremely angry, but instead, calm as an ancient well.

Small Dog looked at her in confusion, the previous ferocity gradually fading.

It wagged its little tail, circled Xia Chujian a few times, made a small gurgling sound in its throat, and finally lay down in front of her, putting its little head on her boot-clad foot, as if begging for reconciliation.

Xia Chujian didn't look down, but casually stroked Small Dog's furry head.

Small Dog looked up at her carefully, then got up from the ground and staggered back to its little grass nest that Xia Chujian had overturned.

It sniffed in the overturned little grass nest with its little nose, then came to the plant and sniffed it again with its little nose, looking reluctant to part with it.

Then, it began to paw at the ground with its two front paws.

Because there was a small grass nest blocking it before, there was no snow in that place, and the soil didn't seem to be frozen by the extremely cold air, and was still very soft.

Therefore, Small Dog dug very easily.

Before long, it dug out the entire plant, the leaves swaying weakly in the cold wind, the roots still wrapped in a ball of soil, protecting all the root hairs well.

Small Dog used its nose to nudge the plant with the roots and soil, and came to Xia Chujian with a grunt.

Then it pulled at the hem of Xia Chujian's coat with its teeth.

Xia Chujian looked down and saw that the Kong Sang, which Small Dog had refused to leave just now, was placed in front of her!

It must have just been dug out by Small Dog. Small Dog dug very carefully, and the roots of the Kong Sang were still wrapped in a ball of soil, without revealing any root hairs.

It could be seen that it cherished this plant very much, and even if it decided to give it to Xia Chujian, it didn't want it to be harmed in any way.

Xia Chujian's heart almost stopped beating for a moment!

Her fingers trembled as she wanted to touch the Kong Sang plant, but she didn't dare, fearing that this Kong Sang was as delicate as the Blood Kirin, or even more so.

Just a little bit of pollution, and it wouldn't survive.

In the end, she only dared to touch the clump of soil surrounding the Kong Sang's roots.

Looking at this tightly wrapped clump of root soil, Xia Chujian suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She realized that even if she needed the Kong Sang to treat her aunt's illness, it didn't mean she needed the entire plant, did it?! Couldn't she use its leaves? If she planted it, wouldn't she be able to continuously harvest its leaves?!

Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly. She raised her hand to touch Small Dog's furry head and said softly, "...Thank you, Small Si Xi."

She wanted to nurture this Kong Sang.

As for how to keep it alive, it would depend on San Zong's skills.

Xia Chujian suddenly felt less depressed.

She looked at Small Dog, who was gazing at the Kong Sang with reluctance, and said softly, "Small Si Xi, can you call San Zong here?"

Small Dog looked at her blankly, clearly not understanding her words.

Xia Chujian had no choice but to gesture in San Zong's direction, even pushing her nose to make a pig-like snout.

Small Dog understood this time and ran happily in that direction.

Only Xia Chujian was left in this place.

She wasn't afraid at all.

Moreover, looking at the Kong Sang, her hope rose again.

Her aunt should be saved this time! Just as her mood improved, two shadows suddenly surrounded her from the left and right.

Xia Chujian still had a smile on her face, but her body had already reflexively stood up and raised her gun.

Not far in front of her stood two huge animals.

On the left was a fiery red bird, its feathers seeming to glow in the dark night, looking like flames were burning.

On the right was a white tiger, its two membranous wings just folded up.

Weren't these the two infinitely large alien beasts she had seen on the radar monitor?!

They weren't so big now, so they must have shrunk their forms?

But they were still much larger than ordinary animals.

Xia Chujian estimated that these two animals were at least three to four meters tall.

Her height of one meter seventy-five centimeters was only half the height of these two animals when she stood up.

What were these two alien beasts going to do?! Xia Chujian's first reaction was whether these two alien beasts were the guardian beasts of the Kong Sang!

Even the Blood Kirin had its own guardian beast, the Griffon Sea Eagle, let alone the Kong Sang, which was a million times more precious than the Blood Kirin!

Such a magical plant, of course, needed alien beasts with such high status to protect it to look the part!

Facing these alien beasts, Xia Chujian didn't have the soft heart she had when facing Small Dog.

She stood in front of the fragile Kong Sang plant, coldly sizing up the alien beasts to her left and right, and began to choose an angle.

Soon, she placed the Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun on the ground in front of her, aiming it at the white tiger with membranous wings.

At the same time, she held the Judicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle on her back in her hands, aiming it at the fiery bird.

One of her feet was on the automatic button of the Destroyer Fully Automatic Submachine Gun.

As long as these two alien beasts dared to attack her, she could snipe the fiery red bird with the Large Sniper Rifle while activating the automatic function of the submachine gun and strafing the white tiger!

But even though she was ready, the two alien beasts didn't seem to attack her.

They just looked at her quietly, their eyes filled with condescending scrutiny and pickiness.

Xia Chujian didn't like this kind of gaze at all.

Her finger tightened on the trigger of the Large Sniper Rifle once again.

After about ten minutes of confrontation between one person and two alien beasts, Small Dog's "Wu Er Fu, Wu Er Fu" calls and the Pig-head Humanoid San Zong's rambling voice came from the forest.

Xia Chujian was even more nervous.

These two are both timid…

If they saw these two alien beasts, wouldn't they immediately kneel down in fright! A murderous aura flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "...Get lost!"

The two alien beasts seemed surprised and looked at each other.

Then, in the next moment, they both soared into the air, disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

By the time Small Dog trotted over with San Zong, the figures of the two alien beasts were no longer in the clearing in the woods.

San Zong looked up and saw Xia Chujian standing there with a sniper rifle, radiating murderous intent. He was so frightened that he slid to his knees, raised his hands behind his head, and said with a crying voice, "Female Sire! San Zong won't dare anymore!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

She put away her gun and said calmly, "Dare not what?"

San Zong: "..."

He stammered, "I don't know, but I just won't dare anymore..."

Xia Chujian glanced at him, thinking that this kind of subconscious admission of guilt was probably a conditioned reflex formed from being beaten too much.

She didn't even need to ask San Zong what kind of life he had in that Plantation; she knew without even thinking about it.

She slung the Judicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle behind her back, picked up the Destroyer 800 Fully Automatic Submachine Gun from the ground, and said calmly, "San Zong, come and see, what is this plant?"

San Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief and scrambled up from the ground, using both hands and feet.

Small Dog, completely unaware of what had happened, had already happily run to Xia Chujian, constantly playing "sticking" against the Kong Sang plant at her feet, being extremely affectionate.

San Zong also saw it, trotted to Xia Chujian's side, knelt down, and looked at the plant that Small Dog was being affectionate with.

He examined it carefully, and sniffed with his pig nose for a long time, and said in surprise, "What is this plant? Why can't San Zong smell anything at all?!"

"What do you mean you can't smell anything at all?" Xia Chujian frowned, "Just tell me if you've ever seen this kind of plant before."

"Of course not." San Zong shook his head like a rattle drum, his two pig ears flapping, "But even if I haven't seen it, it should have a smell!"

"What do you mean?"

"No matter what kind of plant, it has its own smell! For San Zong, rare plants have a stronger smell. Common plants have a lighter smell." San Zong carefully explained his special ability to Xia Chujian.

"But this plant is not even as good as those weeds, it doesn't have any smell at all!"

The second update is here. See you tomorrow!
