Chapter 1678: Chapter 1679: The Most Poisonous Is a Woman’s Heart
Upon hearing this, Du Yanan’s forehead burst with veins: "Shameless!"
"Alright, let’s not talk about this." Wei Yingyue asked the chivalrous man beside her, "Hero, what’s beyond the forest?"
"Burial Mound."
The three words lightly floated from the chivalrous man’s mouth, but when they reached your ears, they sent a chill through your whole body.
"Burial Mound, that’s something you often hear on TV. Usually it’s nothing, but why does it sound so eerie now?" You felt a headache too. With Burial Mound, it meant disgusting vomit-inducing zombies would be involved again.
"Can we avoid this Burial Mound?" Wei Yingyue deliberately asked, worried it might affect Liang Xinyue.
The chivalrous man also glanced at Liang Xinyue and replied to Wei Yingyue, "Going through Burial Mound is the only way to avoid Emperor Xin’s Army; otherwise, we might face tens of thousands of demon soldiers, with Demon General Wen Zhong in command."
Upon hearing Wen Zhong was the commanding Demon General, Wei Yingyue immediately abandoned the thought of rerouting and sighed softly.
At this moment, Liang Xinyue, unable to speak, gestured to Wei Yingyue, "Elder sister, I’m not afraid."
"Little Guai, elder sister will protect you." Wei Yingyue hugged Liang Xinyue and gently patted her slender back.
"Don’t worry, you’ll soon leave here." As you spoke, you slowly stood up and looked toward the end of the forest, where a slightly steep rock wall lay, "Let’s go, while the light is still good, we should climb up."
This rock wall wasn’t high, about ten meters or so, equivalent to the height of a three or four-story building. You made a rope out of sturdy vines, allowing the chivalrous man to climb up first with the vine rope, then everyone else followed.
You had Xu Mingjie and Deng Fang climb first, followed by Du Yanan and Wei Yingyue.
Seeing Wei Yingyue trying to climb up with Liang Xinyue, you quickly stopped her, "You can leave Little Xin Yue to me, after all, your arm strength is limited."
Wei Yingyue gazed directly at you, wanted to say more, but you added, "How about this, if you’re still worried, I’ll carry Little Xin Yue up first, then you follow, how about it?"
After considering it, Wei Yingyue agreed to your proposal.
You turned around to Liang Xinyue, squatted slowly, and smiled at her, "Little girl, come up."
Liang Xinyue wasn’t afraid of strangers at all. Throughout this journey, she had already received much of your care. Actually, from the first glance, she had an inexplicable fondness for this elder brother.
Liang Xinyue climbed onto your back, wrapping her arms around your neck.
Standing up, you playfully patted Liang Xinyue’s dangling legs, smiling, "This is cumbersome, come on, wrap your legs around my waist, it’s much easier this way."
Though slightly embarrassed, Liang Xinyue complied, hugging you like a koala.
"Alright!"
You grabbed the vine rope with both hands and climbed like a monkey, reaching the top of the rock wall in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Mu Yun, your speed is impressive!" Xu Mingjie, watching from the side, was full of envy. As fellow senior high students, your physical prowess was leagues ahead of his.
"Of course, all these years during the holidays weren’t spent idling in the troops."
You squatted down again, as Deng Fang helped Liang Xinyue stand aside, then you turned to Wei Yingyue and Du Yanan below, "Hurry up, both of you, any delay might stir unexpected trouble."
When Du Yanan heard this, she couldn’t help but snicker, "This brat even throws in archaic language now. Little Yue, you go up first."
Wei Yingyue nodded, slowly climbing to the top.
"Lao Du, hurry up!"
Just then, you noticed a strange sound coming from the woods below.
"What’s the rush, my climbing skills are top-notch in the troops!"
As she spoke, Du Yanan grabbed the vine rope, preparing to climb. Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind. As she turned her head, an arrow shot at her. At the critical moment, Du Yanan quickly dodged, the sharp arrowhead nearly grazing her hair and embedding into the rock crevice.
"Damn!"
You hadn’t expected the wolf demons to catch up so quickly. You immediately shouted to Wei Yingyue, "Sister Wei, cover us!"
Wei Yingyue quickly took out a longbow from her back. She didn’t have time to savor your sudden call for "cover us," seeing you rush forward, grabbing the vine rope with your left hand, and sliding down the rock wall from over ten meters high!
Du Yanan never expected you’d slip down at this moment. Seeing you only three or four meters away, your right foot stomped hard, propelling you toward an open space behind Du Yanan.
As you landed, your body rolled twice on the ground. When you stood up, the steel knife tainted with wolf demon blood was already in hand.
Your actions suddenly unleashed Du Yanan’s emotions. She thought she was doomed, screaming at you hysterically, "You idiot! Moron! Who told you to come down, get back up there!"
Hearing this, you ignored her, deftly deflecting a flying arrow with the knife, then turned to Du Yanan with a rage, "Enough talk, get up there now!"
Seeing the wolf demons emerge from the woods, Wei Yingyue and Deng Fang’s "Aerial Support" arrived as well. At this moment, neither woman cared about the remaining arrows in their quivers, hastily shooting downwards.
Wei Yingyue timely shouted to Du Yanan, "Nan Nan, hurry up!"
At this point, Du Yanan understood the gravity of the situation. She fiercely left a remark to you, "Li Muyun, if you dare to die here, once I get out, I’ll strip your clothes and toss you into the men’s prison!"
"Damn! How venomous are women’s hearts!" At this moment, you’ve consecutively taken down two wolf demons, and Wei Yingyue and Deng Fang’s support alleviated much of your plight.
Du Yanan indeed exhibited the physical capabilities expected of an excellent female soldier, easily conquering the ten-meter-high cliff.
Once she was atop the rock wall, Du Yanan yelled at you below, "Brat, hurry up and get up here!"
"Coming!"
When you responded, you didn’t immediately climb but charged forward, killing two more wolf demons, then dashed toward the rock wall even faster.
This time differed from before; while sprinting, as you neared the rock wall, your right foot deftly and swiftly kicked an exposed stone, then you soared upward, grabbing the vine rope at five to six meters high, quickly climbing up.
