Chapter 223 New Power
The heart was beating violently in the chest, rapidly but powerfully. Every once in a while, it seemed as if a space was torn out in the body, and energy was continuously stored in it.
This is a very strange feeling. This huge power comes from nowhere. Even the numbness in half of the body disappears under the wash of this huge energy.
This feeling was completely different from when she first awakened her power.
Du Jiujiu clenched her fists, feeling that not only did she not feel tired at all, but she still had inexhaustible energy in her body.
Part of this energy is distributed in her limbs and bones, providing her with powerful power anytime and anywhere, while an even more powerful part is gathered deep in her mind, waiting for her to mobilize at any time.
The mysterious suction force that just appeared in Du Jiujiu's hand came from this part of the energy.
Du Jiujiu really had too many doubts about this energy that was obviously very unfamiliar, but yet somehow felt familiar to her.
However, right now is not the time to think about this.
After a fierce battle, the strong smell of blood continued to spread to the surroundings with the breeze. Although the surrounding jungle seemed calm on the surface, in fact, it was already turbulent.
Countless pairs of eyes are hiding in the shadows, observing these bloody delicacies, and will swarm them when the time is right.
Although Du Jiujiu felt that her current condition was as good as ever, and the energy in her body was also eager to try. However, after all, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and An Cheng was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, so it was better to act cautiously.
"Sister Jiujiu, where are we going now?"
At this time, An Cheng's wound had completely stopped bleeding. Wei Qingqing withdrew the blue light on his hand, wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, and asked Du Jiujiu softly.
Du Jiujiu looked around. They had already walked a long way before encountering these mutated mantises. Looking at the surrounding environment, they should not be far from where they were going.
They have put in so much effort to do this task, and it would be a bit unwilling to leave like this.
But if they continue to move forward with them, they are afraid of encountering other dangerous beasts.
Just when Du Jiujiu was still struggling, Hu Xiaoyun's voice sounded low behind her.
"Jiujiu, let's go back."
Du Jiujiu turned around and met Hu Xiaoyun's dim eyes. The expression on her face was a smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"We won't do this task. In fact, we don't lack the money. If we hadn't helped me raise money to buy that whip, we wouldn't have encountered this at all, and neither would An Cheng..."
"It's all my fault..." Hu Xiaoyun grabbed a bunch of hair on Xiaobai's back and held it tightly with his fingers. The fingertips were so white that no blood could be seen.
"Just now I planned to leave An Cheng here alone. If it weren't for you... An Cheng would definitely die here! It was me, I almost killed her!!" At this point, Hu Xiaoyun shed two lines of tears.
Like broken beads, they streaked across the cheeks and fell down one after another.
"Sister Xiaoyun, it's not your fault!" Seeing Hu Xiaoyun's tears, Du Jiujiu was at a loss for a moment.
Hu Xiaoyun seemed to be unable to hear anything at this moment. She shook her head desperately and murmured.
"I'm really useless. I get scared when I see a swarm of praying mantises. I'm just afraid of these bugs. I feel so sick when I see them flying over in dense numbers."
"Let's go back quickly. We have obviously gone through a lot of hardships to get here and can live a stable life. Why do we have to do these dangerous things to embarrass ourselves again!"
"No, Sister Xiaoyun, listen to me!" Du Jiujiu grabbed Hu Xiaoyun's shoulders and stared at Hu Xiaoyun's eyes with her dark eyes, as if she could see directly into her eyes.
"The base can protect us for a while, but how can it protect us for a lifetime? No one knows what the future will bring. All we can do is keep working hard, keep getting stronger, and at least we can control our own destiny. Along the way, we will not be honest.
Have you always believed in this belief?”
"Sister Xiaoyun, you have done a great job! We have been together since the day the doomsday came, supporting each other and fighting side by side. There is no doubt about the relationship between us. If there is anyone missing in this team, we will
There is no way for me to live peacefully until now.”
Hu Xiaoyun looked at Du Jiujiu blankly, tears still flowing down drop by drop.
"Sister Xiaoyun, don't cry. Just listen to me. I will complete the task and we will all go back safely." Du Jiujiu held Hu Xiaoyun's face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I believe you, but..."
Hu Xiaoyun sobbed and wanted to say something more, but looking at Du Jiujiu's confident smiling face, he couldn't say anything. He just nodded slowly.
Due to excessive blood loss, An Cheng was still lying unconscious on Xiao Bai's back even though all the wounds had stopped bleeding.
While talking, Du Jiujiu could faintly feel that there were more creatures nearby.
Xiaobai had just injured his leg and had difficulty moving. In order to reduce Xiaobai's burden, Du Jiujiu jumped off Xiaobai's back with a long knife, leaving only Wei Qingqing and Hu Xiaoyun still on Xiaobai's back to take care of An Cheng.
Xiaobai and Du Jiujiu had already known each other well. The next moment after Du Jiujiu jumped off its back, it rushed forward with Du Jiujiu behind.
Perhaps the intuition of mutant creatures in the wild is generally very keen, or perhaps the aura of Du Jiujiu, who has just awakened his second superpower, is too strong.
Since they left, although Du Jiujiu could still feel some creatures hanging far behind them, there were no blind beasts coming to trouble them.
Du Jiujiu sometimes walked through the grass, sometimes jumped on high branches, and observed the nearby terrain. Not long after, he arrived at the location marked on the mission map where mutant cobras often appeared.
This place is actually easy to identify because the cobra's nest is near an artificial lake.
This is the only lake within a hundred miles.
The location where it is located was a zoo before the end of the world, and there were many kinds of animals in it.
After the end of the world, most animals mutated and escaped from the cages that imprisoned them. These mutated cobras also took this opportunity to make their home by the lake.
This place is close to a water source and is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of alien animals. Therefore, there are not only many types of mutant creatures nearby, but also an exaggerated number. Therefore, few people will take huge risks to catch prey here.
