Chapter 7 What Happened?

"Wait, look, isn't he right there?"

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's anxious expression and headlong rush, Leng Youyou could only follow her steps while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was about to plunge straight into the woods, she suddenly spotted their companion's figure not far to their side. So, she grabbed Lu Xiaoyao and reminded her.

Looking at the figure holding a red umbrella, Lu Xiaoyao, who had been pulled back by Leng Youyou, immediately smiled.

The tense and frightened emotions from not seeing her companion immediately vanished, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hu Yue, we agreed to not move too fast!"

Lu Xiaoyao walked towards the umbrella-wielding figure with Leng Youyou. Although the umbrella obscured who it was, the pants and shoes were enough for her to recognize them.

"Why are you the only one standing here? Where's Julian?"

Lu Xiaoyao asked several questions in a row, but Hu Yue didn't respond. Just as she was about to step forward to see what was wrong, she was once again grabbed by Leng Youyou.

"Wait!"

Leng Youyou had been feeling relieved listening to Lu Xiaoyao's lighthearted complaints, but she didn't expect to break out in a cold sweat when she looked at the lower half of the figure!

The figure's toes were pointing in their direction.

In other words, they were facing each other.

But why would someone hold an umbrella to cover their face when facing each other?!

Also, the other person was standing in a patch of muddy, black sludge.

This was not right!

Therefore, out of caution, Leng Youyou immediately stopped Lu Xiaoyao, who was about to approach.

"What..."

Lu Xiaoyao turned to look at Leng Youyou, and just as she was about to ask what was wrong, the umbrella-wielding figure suddenly fell. The red umbrella rolled to the side into the rain, drawing her attention back.

But unexpectedly, the person under the umbrella was missing a head!

The moment the figure fell, blood gushed frantically from the neck.

"Hu Yue!"

"Run!"

Leng Youyou and Lu Xiaoyao shouted almost simultaneously.

In that instant, Leng Youyou seemed to sense something. She reached out and pushed Lu Xiaoyao to the ground, while she herself twisted her body and rolled away from where she had been standing.

When she looked up again, the raincoat monster had appeared behind them with an axe!

Fortunately, they had avoided the fatal blow.

"Get rid of the umbrella!"

Leng Youyou's impression of the umbrella plummeted. Lu Xiaoyao holding the umbrella had obscured their vision and the sound of the rain on the umbrella reduced their alertness.

So, while dodging the attack, she shouted at Lu Xiaoyao to drop the umbrella!

After shouting, Leng Youyou's eyes inadvertently glanced at the beheaded Hu Yue, and a chill ran down her spine.

The rusty kitchen knife in her hand was useless. Mingmei naturally wouldn't let Leng Youyou, who should have been left behind last night, go.

Unexpectedly, just as the axe knocked the kitchen knife out of Leng Youyou's hand and swung towards her head, a rolled-up umbrella suddenly blocked the axe.

Immediately afterward, Mingmei instinctively pulled back a hand to defend her face. As expected, a forceful kick from below, covered in mud and water, struck her arm, forcing Mingmei back more than two steps.

Looking up again, Da Yao, no longer the simple and timid girl she once was, had been triggered by Lu Xiaoyao falling in the mud and Hu Yue's blood.

Da Yao's previous attack was to save Leng Youyou, but now, as Mingmei retreated, she quickly stepped forward, wanting to continue her attack before Mingmei could regain her balance. Mingmei naturally raised her hand to block.

For a time, the two fought fiercely, appearing to be evenly matched.

Mingmei wanted their lives, and Da Yao wanted hers.

Every attack was made with the determination to kill each other.

This was Mingmei's first time fighting Da Yao, but Leng Youyou knew a little about her unusual identity. Mingmei carefully avoided her raincoat's hood to prevent herself from being unmasked, while Da Yao was wary of the axe in Mingmei's hand.

Just what kind of freak was this?

It would be one thing if she were wielding a light and nimble dagger, but why was the person in front of her so agile even with an axe in hand?

The large raincoat concealed the other person's figure, making it difficult to see clearly, but Da Yao had a hunch.

With a "clang," the umbrella in Da Yao's hand was knocked away. Before she could pull out the dagger from her waist, the other person's foot was already coming at her abdomen.

Hastily retreating, Da Yao could only block with her arm, dissipating much of the force, but she still felt the power of the other person's leg.

Her arm was sore and numb.

The villain in this round was agile and incredibly strong!

"Lu Xiaoyao, catch!"

At some point, Julian, who had left earlier, appeared. Seeing that Da Yao was being beaten back, he spotted Leng Youyou standing in the rain and the headless Hu Yue. He immediately joined the battle.

He folded the umbrella into a stick and threw it to Lu Xiaoyao. Taking advantage of the fact that his shout had interrupted the two's fight,

Julian attacked Mingmei from the side with a dagger.

Mingmei didn't say anything about whether the two sides had any martial ethics, going straight for a two-on-one or three-on-one fight, after all, Mingmei's strength was overwhelming in this round!

"Retreat!"

Finally, Leng Youyou saw that neither of them were getting the better of the raincoat monster, and the sky was about to darken again. Leng Youyou remembered the vegetable field from last night. If they didn't leave, the situation would be very unfavorable for them once it got dark!

Da Yao and Julian received Leng Youyou's shout and retreated with Leng Youyou towards the vegetable field. Mingmei naturally wouldn't let them go.

Looking from afar, everyone noticed that behind Wu Tiao Wu, besides Lu Xiaoyao and Leng Youyou, they also noticed someone else.

Although they couldn't see the other person's face, they maintained a steady pace, their steps light, constantly approaching them, creating a sense of oppression.

It was as if a cat was toying with a mouse, playing with their already fragile state of mind.

In contrast, Lu Xiaoyao and the other two were in a sorry state, the slippery ground almost causing them to fall several times.

"They're back!"

Wang Wenfei shouted excitedly.

Charlie, who had been suspicious of whether Julian and the others had met with an accident because he hadn't seen them, was about to change his equipment and go looking for them. When he heard Wang Wenfei say they were back, he immediately went to the window, took the binoculars, and began to observe for himself.

"What the..."

Seeing Julian and the others retreating in a panic, with a raincoat man wielding an axe gradually approaching behind them, and the vegetable field in front of them also undergoing changes...
