The rebels arrived in considerable numbers, the torchlight illuminating the mountain forest as if it were day.
After confirming that the rebels could see her and Gu Chenzhou’s figures, Jiang Wan said to Gu Chenzhou, "Run!"
The two immediately turned and fled into the woods.
The rebels, spotting the torchlight, shouted excitedly, "There, quickly, chase!"
Both of them were agile, and with Jiang Wan constantly using her abilities to clear obstacles from their path, their escape was not difficult.
However, the rebels were not slow either.
Jiang Wan deliberately led them towards treacherous terrain, making the path increasingly difficult. Gu Chenzhou used his Qinggong to carry Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan herself also used her half-baked Qinggong to lighten Gu Chenzhou's burden.
As they ran, they maintained a suitable distance from the pursuing rebels; too far, and they feared the rebels would stop chasing; too close, and they feared being hit by arrows.
Thus, the two led the group of rebels on a chase through the mountain forest.
Their stamina rapidly depleted. Gu Chenzhou felt his steps growing heavier, his Qinggong barely keeping up.
Just as he was feeling alarmed, he suddenly felt his stamina rapidly recovering.
A peculiar sensation flowed from the small, chubby hand he was holding.
Gu Chenzhou glanced back at Jiang Wan, only for her to say, "Watch the path, don't bite your tongue off!"
He turned back and continued to run forward with concentration, but he was now certain that Jiang Wan possessed secrets, and they were astonishing.
They ran through the mountain forest for over an hour, until all the rebels were exhausted and collapsed.
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and, along with Gu Chenzhou, discarded their torches and found a place to sit and rest.
All along the way, she had been using her abilities to replenish their stamina. Over the past hour, she had used up more than half of her powers.
She then leaned against Gu Chenzhou, frantically absorbing energy.
Gu Chenzhou asked, "Why do you always like to lean on me?"
Jiang Wan smiled and replied, "Because when I'm close to you, I feel full of strength!"
She dared to say that Gu Chenzhou would never believe it.
To her surprise, Gu Chenzhou actually nodded and even moved closer to her.
Now it was Jiang Wan's turn to be filled with questions.
What was wrong with this child?
However, she did not reject the gesture and even relaxed her body against him with a clear conscience.
Just as Jiang Wan was absorbing energy to replenish herself, Xiao Ma Zai suddenly appeared, crying out with unusual urgency.
Danger, danger! The group was in danger!
The evacuation team from the small mountain village had been discovered by the rebels!
There was a traitor in the group!
Jiang Pan and Yan Li, along with the men from the village, were fending off the rebels, and casualties had already occurred.
Jiang Wan felt her blood instantly freeze.
"Dad! Mom!"
Thinking of her loved ones being in danger at any moment, Jiang Wan could no longer care about anything else. She quickly used her abilities to summon an eagle, which began to grow rapidly in size even before it landed.
She ran to a relatively open area, extended her hand, and accurately grasped the eagle's talons as it descended.
Gu Chenzhou was terrified. He had never seen such a large eagle, and how dared Jiang Wan?
Where was the eagle taking her?
Without time to think, Gu Chenzhou quickly used his Qinggong to pursue.
When Jiang Wan arrived, Jiang Pan and Er Lang had already sustained several injuries. Yan Li was in better condition, but he was surrounded by more opponents.
On the ground lay many wounded and dead, both villagers and rebels.
In the distance, more rebels were still rushing towards them.
Fortunately, with the full resistance of Jiang Pan and the other two, most of the villagers had temporarily escaped.
Seeing the situation, Jiang Wan immediately made a decision. She used her abilities to summon two more eagles and gave the three eagles an order to quickly take Jiang Pan and the other two away.
Upon receiving the command, the eagles immediately lowered their altitude. Jiang Wan released her grip at a safe height, and the eagles immediately flew towards Jiang Pan.
Jiang Wan shouted from the side, "Dad, grab its leg!"
Jiang Pan looked up and saw the eagle. He quickly swept aside the rebels surrounding him and then leaped up, grabbing the eagle's talons.
The other two eagles rushed towards Er Lang and Yan Li.
"Go quickly!"
Like Jiang Pan, the two also successfully grabbed the eagle's talons.
Watching the eagles carry the three away, Jiang Wan finally felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, she had arrived in time.
Just as Jiang Wan was about to leave, the rebels discovered her.
"Catch her!"
Jiang Wan looked at the injured villagers on the ground, her heart burning with rage.
How dare these damned rebels inflict such cruelty on ordinary people! Were they even human?
Since they were so inhumane, she would act on behalf of heaven!
Jiang Wan retreated a few steps, disappearing into the darkness, and channeled her abilities, causing the thorns on the surrounding bushes to grow wildly and then shoot towards the rebels like arrows.
Such an attack was completely unexpected. The rebels at the front were pierced through.
The rebels rushing from behind only saw sharp thorns flying towards them and hastily fell to the ground.
Jiang Wan sneered and immediately used her abilities to redirect the thorns. Some of the rebels who had fallen to the ground were not spared. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Ambush!"
"Quick, fire arrows!"
The rebels immediately nocked arrows and shot them in Jiang Wan's direction.
Jiang Wan was not afraid at all. She used her abilities to turn the trees around her into shields, standing behind them, completely unharmed. The sound of arrows piercing the tree trunks echoed continuously. Jiang Wan once again channeled her abilities, retaliating with bush thorns.
However, her powers had already been significantly depleted earlier, and then she had used them to have three eagles rescue people. At this point, she had only about ten percent of her abilities remaining.
Jiang Wan really wanted to leave, but what about the injured villagers on the ground?
Even from this distance, she recognized two of them as villagers who were quite friendly with her family.
They had fled Jianzhou together to Jiangnan, finally establishing a new home and starting a new life, only to encounter these rebels.
She could not just watch them die.
Jiang Wan's heart, which had been tempered to be incredibly tough in the apocalypse, had unknowingly softened.
Damn it, she would go all out!
If she didn't try her best, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life!
So Jiang Wan mobilized her abilities, utilizing all the surrounding bushes she could.
When a sky full of wooden thorns flew towards the rebels, the rebels were so terrified that they scattered and fled in all directions.
They had initially thought there was an ambush in the forest, but they had clearly seen just now that the wooden thorns were flying directly from the trees.
This was not only deadly but also extremely bizarre.
The rebels who were not injured by the thorns quickly fled.
After ensuring there was no danger, Jiang Wan emerged from behind the tree and rushed towards the few injured villagers she recognized.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, how are you? Can you still hold on?"
Several of them were seriously injured and could die at any moment.
Jiang Wan's powers were almost depleted, but looking at the people before her, she decided to first transfer some of her powers to them to stabilize their lives.
She thought that as long as she didn't overexert herself, it wouldn't be a big problem. She was already quite strong, and if she thought of a way, she could definitely lead them away from here.
However, as Jiang Wan was transferring energy to a villager, she suddenly heard a shout: "Wan Wan, be careful!"
