Chapter 22: The Loss of a Partner

Ji Chen hurriedly ran to Sun Jian, wanting to change with him and let him carry Li Xue. But Sun Jian was unwilling, Ji Chen asked him why, and he didn't say anything, just said that he could handle it.

Ji Chen had no way to convince him, so he had to go with him.

Ji Chen rushed to the front and shouted: "While the physical strength is still very strong, let's quickly use the last remaining physical strength to sprint with the blessing of speed, and try to completely get rid of the monkeys in one go." ”

At the beginning, the speed of several people was very fast, and after about half an hour, Ji Chen felt that his physical strength was not good, and his feet began to weaken.

When Ji Chen felt that he had completely thrown off the monkeys, he stopped and looked back.

The woods behind the men were silent, and only the moonlight shone down from the sky on the thick and thin trees, leaving a zebra-like shadow on the ground. If it weren't for the occasional faint whistling sound of some winds and the rapid wheezing of several of them, this forest would be terrifyingly quiet, which strengthened Ji Chen's speculation.

So several people reduced their speed and continued to move forward in the form of race walking.

Ji Chen felt a little relieved, and his mind had already begun to think about what to do next. At this time, there was a noisy sound in the woods behind him, and then the life-threatening monkey cry followed.

Judging by the sound, this is their big army coming!

Ji Chen couldn't understand why these monkeys were so obsessed with them that they chased them all day.

But Ji Chen didn't have any time to think, as soon as he heard the sound of the monkey, everyone consciously immediately ran forward quickly.

Ji Chen and the others stepped over one obstacle after another, dodged one branch after another, and shuttled through the woods with a group of tailless monkeys like a group of wild beasts. Ji Chen never dreamed that he would experience such an absurd and bizarre encounter one day, but all this happened naturally.

After a while, several people ran to the side of a river, fortunately, the water of this river is not very deep, and the bottom of the river can be vaguely seen, Ji Chen turned around and asked Zhang Lan to flow to the other side of the river first, and he went to pick up Sun Jian.

But when Ji Chen just turned around, he saw Sun Ke running towards him alone, and when he ran to Ji Chen, he said, "Why stop, run!" After speaking, he wanted to run past Ji Chen to the river.

Ji Chen suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What about Li Xue?!" Ji Chen asked.

Sun Jian sighed, twisted his neck and said, "When is it, it's still Li Xue, she can't walk anymore!"

Ji Chen roared again: "I asked you Li Xue!"

Sun Jian stared at Ji Chen's eyes, and from his eyes, Sun Jian saw a huge anger, so he smacked his lips with his hands on his waist and said coldly, "I threw her away." ”

When he saw Sun Jian running over alone, Ji Chen had actually guessed it, and now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that Sun Jian was reluctant to let him carry Li Xue before, it turned out that he had already planned to do so. But when Sun Jian said it himself, he still couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that Sun Jian would do this, and he couldn't believe that Sun Jian would say the sentence 'I threw her away' so plainly and so deservedly.

"My grass, are you a beast?" Ji Chen grabbed him by the collar and glared at him, I don't know if it was because he was too excited or for other reasons, Ji Chen actually lifted Sun Jian up all of a sudden. Sun Jian didn't dare to look at him, took a breath and looked to the side.

Ji Chen pushed him away, then turned around and rushed towards the monkeys.

Sun Jian rushed up and hugged him and shouted, "Are you crazy?!"

Ji Chen roared: "Is it me crazy or you are crazy, you are killing people, do you know? You killed our companions!"

After saying that, Ji Chen broke away from him and rushed towards the monkeys with all his might.

Ji Chen rushed towards the monkeys in the opposite direction, and the monkeys were also chasing them, so Ji Chen quickly met the monkeys.

At this moment, Ji Chen didn't feel the slightest fear, he only thought about saving his partner in his head!

Ji Chen didn't see any Li Xue along the way, and he thought that Sun Jian shouldn't have time to hide her deliberately when he let go of Li Xue, so Li Xue should be on their way to escape.

Not long after, Ji Chen saw groups of tailless monkeys overwhelming him, and those tailless monkeys were jumping around the trees with their skills. Ji Chen looked at the red hair of these tailless monkeys, their miserable white faces, and their dark eyes, and felt that this was more like a group of imps out of hell running towards him with bared teeth.

Ji Chen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then rushed directly towards the monkeys. He focused all his attention on these tailless monkeys, and whenever a tailless monkey leaped towards him, he predicted the direction and strength of the monkey's jump from the monkey's starting moves, and then used the speed blessing of the night to dodge as much as possible.

Although there were still many tailless monkeys that pounced on Ji Chen, in his state of extreme speed sprinting, these tailless monkeys were knocked away.

For a while, Ji Chen actually ran against the monkeys for a long distance.

Because Ji Chen suddenly ran in the opposite direction, the tailless monkeys were all attracted by Ji Chen and chased after him, so Sun Jian and Zhang Lan were very safe for the time being.

As long as I can bring Li Xue back safely, the situation will not be too bad, Ji Chen thought to himself.

Not to mention whether he can escape from this group of tailless monkeys with a person on his back, whether he can find Li Xue alone is a big problem, Ji Chen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He had many new wounds on his body, and under the gaze of the monkeys, he was exuding severe pain. On the one hand, these sharp pains affected Ji Chen's movements, but on the other hand, they prompted him to be highly concentrated.

In the midst of the monkeys, the pain in Ji Chen's body had almost made him unconscious, and his physical strength was about to run out. But at this moment, he saw several figures running in the darkness not far ahead.

Ji Chen chased and took a closer look, it was Li Xue, she was being carried by six or seven monkeys.

Ji Chen tried his best to chase after him, but his physical strength became more and more insufficient, he felt that his calf muscles were burning, the skin on his legs was painful and itchy from the grinding of his pants, and his throat began to be sweet and dry.

He gritted his teeth and tensed his body to move his legs as hard as he could, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and he was almost suffocating.

Seeing that Li Xue was carried farther and farther away by the monkeys, and he couldn't do anything, a huge sense of frustration came towards him, it turned out that he was so weak that he didn't even have the ability to protect his companions.

Eventually, he went limpy and fell to the sand.

Ji Chen used the last bit of strength to raise his head and look in the direction where Li Xue was being carried away, his eyes were full of bloodshots, but his body did not obey at all.

He lay motionless on the ground, his face pressed to the ground, staring at the sand in front of him in a daze, at this moment, he could not do anything, and he did not want to do anything.

He suddenly felt so comfortable and relaxed that he even thought that it might be nice if he could lie here all the time.

But such a small wish could not be as he wished, and soon, the tailless monkeys caught up.

Ji Chen lay motionless on the ground, letting the monkeys approach, and after a while, a pair of legs full of red hair appeared in front of Ji Chen's eyes.

Then he was pinched by a monkey's claw on the back of his neck and lifted up like a chicken, and when the tailless monkey lifted Ji Chen into the air, he changed his hand and grabbed his neck.

Ji Chen opened his eyes in pain and found that it was the tailless monkey with yin and yang eyes that he saw at the beginning.
