Chapter 5: The Girl on Fire

Because the artificial inertial device had completely failed, the moment the spacecraft fell, He Ruozhi smashed it to the ground like a cannonball.

Although he changed three figures in the air one after another, and used the movement between the joints to dissolve the power, this inertial force was too strong, coupled with Mu Qiaoping's weight, poor He Ruozhi was suddenly crushed and fainted!

"Ash, Ash......"

Mu Qiaoping still had tears on her face, but she didn't have time to panic at this time.

The ship's hatch was twisted and deformed, and it was impossible to open it again.

However, the violent concussion also caused a narrow opening in the top of the ship, from which it was easy to climb out.

Mu Qiaoping gritted her teeth and climbed up, looked around, and found that she had been completely lost in a reckless jungle.

There were towering trees everywhere, and a purple vine snaked between the trees, and the branches and leaves of the vine were covered with grape-like fruits, and there was a faint fragrance.

On the vines stand round animals, a bit like an ancient creature called "ape", but a little fatter than ordinary monkeys, round and very cute.

The fat monkeys held purple fruits in their hands and looked at Mu Qiaoping with a smile, as if something interesting was about to happen.

Mu Qiaoping looked down at the spaceship, shocked.

She realized that the spaceship was falling into a swamp, slowly sinking inch by inch!

"Oh my God!"

Mu Qiaoping hurriedly climbed back to the cabin, and the mud had already poured in through the cracks, covering He Ruozhi's body.

An obese metal crocodile was dragging He Ruozhi's feet with great difficulty, trying to pull him out of the spaceship.

"You...... Your name is Abu, isn't it? Mu Qiaoping cautiously approached the crocodile, "Let's carry Ash out together, shall we?" ”

Abu hissed, as if to give an approving opinion.

Just when the mud was already up to her knees, Mu Qiaoping finally carried He Ruozhi out of the spaceship, she ran quickly along the cabin to the edge of the swamp, closed her eyes and jumped down!

There was a gurgling sound behind him, and the huge spaceship had completely disappeared into the dark mud, leaving only a series of bubbles tumbling on the water, emitting an unpleasant smell of swamp gas.

Finally safe, Mu Qiaoping let out a long sigh of relief, feeling more tired than ever before.

She held He Ruozhi in her arms, and there was a cool breeze in the jungle, and the girl fell asleep unconsciously.

She had several nightmares in a row, one dreaming of the cold laboratory, the other dreaming of her mother's death, and the other dreaming of Ash being unconscious and finally dying.

A cloud of sticky liquid dripped onto her forehead, and Mu Qiaoping suddenly woke up.

She saw a terrifying scene.

There was a strong tremor in the swamp, and a black mass of something crawled out of the mire. Muddy water continued to drip from its body, slowly revealing its hideous face.

The animal looked like a praying mantis magnified countless times, with its slender and sharp feet supporting its gray body, a pair of blood-red compound eyes in front of it, and two forelimbs as sharp as two large knives.

In addition to this monster that had just crawled out of the swamp, there was also a monster that was slowly climbing down from the treetops of the big tree that Mu Qiaoping was leaning against, trying to sneak attack!

"Ahh

Mu Qiaoping hurriedly rolled and narrowly avoided the monster's attack, and a fat monkey just blocked in front of the giant mantis, and was suddenly stabbed at both ends, which was extremely miserable.

The two giant mantis formed an encirclement one after the other, and their mouthparts vibrated continuously, making a piercing cry.

Mu Qiaoping's eyes were already full of tears, she clenched her teeth and muttered, "Mu Qiaoping, don't use it...... That kind of power, the use of violence is not right...... Mu Qiaoping, don't fight, don't! ”

A giant mantis swung fiercely, and the blade was so fast that it was impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. Its attack was not aimed at Mu Qiaoping, but at He Ruozhi, who was unconscious.

He Ruozhi's thigh was immediately cut with a long and narrow opening, and blood immediately gushed out.

Mu Qiaoping was stunned.

"Ash...... For Ash...... You bad things, bad things! ”

Mu Qiaoping's hair was windless and automatic, and the original pure black actually gradually turned into a dazzling red from the ends of her hair, like a hot flame beating.

The flame tattoo on her back seemed to have come to life, and it actually began to burn and beat violently.

Mu Qiaoping's expression was very uncomfortable, as if she was suffering from pain, but her fiery red eyes were more determined than ever.

A giant praying mantis slammed into the ground and rushed over.

In the face of the fierce and hideous enemy, Mu Qiaoping didn't even blink her eyes, she drew a strange symbol in the void, and the air around her suddenly became extremely cold, because all the heat was drained by this symbol!

A dazzling fireball suddenly appeared on her fingertips, as dazzling as the sun!

Rumble!

The fireball shot straight at the giant mantis, exploding right over the monster's forehead. The monster paused in mid-air, and then flames erupted from all over its shell, turning into a huge cloud of lava!

In less than two seconds, the monster was melted into foul-smelling charcoal.

The monster behind it also seems to have considerable intelligence, and understands that the creature in front of it is something it must not provoke. The giant mantis's compound eyes showed a hint of fear, and it crawled and disappeared into the jungle.

Mu Qiaoping's scattered red hair finally calmed down and returned to black.

"I, what have I done; I've become that kind of ...... again That kind of monster, if grandpa knows, he will definitely blame me! ”

Mu Qiaoping looked at the terrifying corpse in front of her, unable to say a word.

……

An old-fashioned solar-powered propeller helicopter appeared over the jungle, and it was already the third day since He Ruozhi and his fall began.

Fortunately, He Ruozhi found that the purple berries unique to the jungle were edible, otherwise they would have fallen into famine again.

He Ruozhi carefully hid in the treetops, holding a dagger sharpened from the forelimbs of a giant mantis.

Although Abu can transform into a sharper weapon, it is not a last resort, and He Ruozhi does not want Abu to appear in front of others.

That's his biggest secret.

Mu Qiaoping was in an open space, shaking the leaves vigorously for help.

The helicopter landed slowly in the open space, the pilot opened the hatch and walked out step by step, He Ruozhi squinted his eyes and raised the bone blade, touched it unconsciously, and was about to make a move when he was suddenly stunned.

I saw that this helicopter pilot and lifeguard was actually an old man with gray hair!
