Promise yourself
After Su Mo heard the general idea, he left and took a detour up the mountain.
"258, can you find out where Wang Yingying is?"
Su Mo opened the way with a machete in his hand and walked quickly.
258 is not taking advantage of the situation. He is also angry now. There is a villain who dares to take away the host's big things. He must deal with her well!
"Host, please turn left..."
Su Mo quickly ran over according to the system prompts.
"roar--"
The tiger's roar came from far away, and even if it was Su Mo, his heart beat faster.
The machete turned into a dagger again and was held in his hand. Su Mo bent down, used the thorns to cover his figure, and lurked over there.
The eyes gradually opened up. Su Mo raised his eyes and saw a tiger about two meters long circling under a tree.
It has a short head and short ears, thick and powerful limbs, and an orange-yellow body covered with black horizontal stripes. It stops from time to time and scratches the trunk of the tree with its claws...
Tigers can climb trees. In the last days, Su Mo had seen mutated tigers. Their hind limbs were thicker and their jumping ability was amazing. They could jump directly onto trees and kill anyone hiding on them with a headshot.
The tree was not very high, so Wang Yingying was able to climb it because she was faced with the threat of death, which also caused her to exert all her strength.
Wang Yingying hugged the branch with a pale face and looked down with horrified eyes. The big insect had already made the movement of climbing the tree...
If you jump down, you will fall to death. If you hide in a tree, you will be bitten to death by a tiger. Either way, you will die...
Wang Yingying felt her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Recalling her mother's push, she closed her eyes and tears fell from the corners of her eyes...
Wang Yingying's hand holding the branch was no longer strong. She glanced at the crawling insect with frightened eyes.
Then she became violent again, as if she had made up her mind. She clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and let go. She immediately fell down.
If you fall, you might still have a chance to survive...
But the big insect had already regarded her as its prey, so how could it easily let her escape? It released its claws, jumped down, and then rushed towards the place where Wang Yingying fell.
At the critical moment, Su Mo jumped out of the veil, held Wang Yingying in his arms, and rolled to the side...
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Wang Yingying slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of cold and indifferent fox eyes.
His face was clear and cold, and his whole body exuded the aura of keeping strangers away from him, like a god above the nine heavens, saving her from fire and water...
Although the lower half of his face was covered by a piece of black cloth, one could guess how outstanding his appearance was from his high bridge of nose and delicate eyebrows.
Wang Yingying was stunned.
She felt her heart beating violently.
She could notice that the person hugging her was a little slender, but his arms were strong and strong. Even Gu Dalang at the time could not bring him a more appropriate sense of security.
She swallowed subconsciously, and at the last moment when she fainted, she thought that there was no way to repay the kindness of saving her life, so she should give her life to him...
Su Mo knocked Wang Yingying unconscious with his backhand, and then threw her to the side.
It's not okay to just let her die like this. Life is the most painful thing when it's worse than death.
The tiger that had taken away its prey roared angrily, and its attention immediately shifted to Su Mo.
Su Mo is not afraid of it. She can kill mutated tigers in the last days for food. Now, although her body has not returned to its original peak, she has a hatchet as a plug-in, which is more than enough to deal with it.
However, the tiger skin was quite valuable, so Su Mo had some scruples. This also led to the tiger fighting for more than ten minutes before he stabbed the tiger in the eye with a sword.
Warm blood splashed on the center of his eyebrows. Su Mo calmly drew out his sword and the tiger fell to the ground.
She walked aside, wiped off the blood stains on the sword with Wang Yingying's clothes, and then turned it into a dagger and pinned it on the back of her hand.
With a slender figure as tall as a pine tree, Su Mo looked down at Wang Yingying who was lying on the ground, without concealing the anger between his brows and eyes.
She still remembers the last person who stole something from her, but she had his hand tendons cut off and hung him in the forest to attract strange animals, leaving his body intact.
Her heart has long been infiltrated by the darkness of the apocalypse, and no one except her mother can make her heart waver.
She curled her lips, knelt down, and pulled out the dagger.
Is it a finger-tick or a scratch on the face?
Just when Su Mo was hesitant, a prompt came from 258: "Host, Chen Cihai and the others are coming here, five hundred meters away..."
Su Mo frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased. She stood up and glanced at the tiger from the corner of her eye.
A tiger is a treasure all over its body. It cannot be sold at a high price in Luoshan Village. It is better to take it to a county or prefecture, where it will definitely sell for a high price.
As Chen Cihai and the others approached, Su Mo quickly made a decision. She looked at the sleeping Wang Yingying and said, "It's an advantage for you."
After saying that, Su Mo raised his foot and stepped hard on her right wrist. Wang Yingying, who was sleeping, felt a sharp pain coming over her. She woke up from the pain and fainted again.
He mocked her last time and coveted her things this time. How could he do it without paying a price?
As for Mrs. Wang's share, she will still ask for it.
Su Mo moved his legs with a calm expression, wiped away the footprints on Wang Yingying's sleeves, then directly picked up Wang Yingying and rushed towards Chen Cihai.
Chen Cihai and the others were holding hatchets in their hands, heading towards the traces left by the big insect, and paying close attention to the surrounding signs.
There is no way, as the village chief said, no matter what, it is a living human life, and you can't just die without saving it.
But if the situation is urgent, they will not risk their lives to face the big insect. As Mrs. Wang said, being able to go up the mountain to find people is already their biggest concession.
If Wang Yingying had suffered a misfortune, all they could do was wait for the tiger to leave and take the remains back.
Su Mo hugged Wang Yingying and placed her under the tree. Then he climbed up the tree and took a look. Sure enough, he saw Chen Cihai and four others who were coming here.
She raised her eyebrows, got down from the tree, glanced at Wang Yingying, and returned the same way, not forgetting to erase the traces.
Chen Cihai quickly rushed over and found Wang Yingying lying unconscious under the tree.
The four of them were overjoyed and hurried over. After taking a closer look, they all frowned.
Not to mention the blood stains on her clothes, her delicate face seemed to have been rubbed on the ground. The skin under her earlobes had been torn and stained with dust, which might have damaged her appearance. Her exposed wrists were also bruised.
It's horrifying to look at.
But the rising and falling chest proves that she is still alive. Living is always better than dead...
Chen Cihai was the first to retract his gaze. He raised his eyes and looked around. The trees shaded the sky, the breeze blew by, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
He made a decision immediately and said to Chen Jiu'an: "It's dangerous in the mountains. Let's take the people back first."
After all, he is Wang Yingying's cousin-in-law, and his two younger brothers are not married yet, so they need to avoid suspicion.
Chen Jiu'an naturally knew Chen Cihai's scruples. He had been married for many years, and his wife was known to be straight-tempered. She was also one of the few people in the village that Mrs. Wang didn't want to mess with.
He nodded, picked up Wang Yingying, and the four of them returned the same way. As for the big insect, they would be thankful if they didn't encounter it.
