The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1415 - 1428: Days Favored by the Escape Boss (29)
Gu Minxing’s eyes swirled with a Netherworld color, causing the Clan Leader’s long-dormant heart to suddenly unnaturally beat a few times, fear rapidly surfacing in his mind, forcing his body to instinctively retreat an inch.
Realizing the subconscious movement of his body, the Clan Leader’s anger became more menacing.
Gu Minxing glanced disdainfully at the Clan Leader’s hideous appearance, his eyes darkening further, and a strange power swept towards the Clan Leader.
Su Li, aware of the ripple in the air, smiled, flicking her fingers a few times; her power was inexplicably swallowed up.
Nothing happened.
Gu Minxing was momentarily dazed, a flash of confusion came and went, his eyes returning to normal.
He was pulled aside by some perceptive clan elders, while others rushed towards Bearded Brother and his group.
Yi Lin shouted in fury and hatred, "You despicable person, do you want to drag us all down?"
Su Li, smilingly replied, "What are you saying, we’re all in this together; sharing fortune and adversity alike."
Su Li waved maliciously at them, her charming looks giving the impression of a delightful beckoning cat.
Yet, Bearded Brother and his group now only wanted to tear this awful woman apart.
Bearded Brother’s group was reluctantly forced to pull out various weapons, battling the Gu clan elders fiercely.
The weak, pitiful, and helpless siblings, Lan Ye and Lan Cao, were directly ignored.
They both tearfully clung to each other, their eyes full of fear and dread.
Just in a moment of distraction, their feet swiftly shuffled to a hidden door behind the courtyard wall.
No one noticed, but they managed to slip inside.
--------
Xu Qingqing, crouching behind the small door, heard the noise of movement, her hand trembling nervously on her weapon.
She soon calmed her mind, quickly pulled out an explosive from her pocket, tore the fuse, preparing to guide her companions.
Dog games clearly show favoritism!
Whether it’s to the original owner or Su Li, until now, in the second round of the game, they only got a useless decorative hairpin.
Look at Xu Qingqing, with the ladies’ silver gun, and explosives...not to mention other good stuff.
It’s simply cheating, like heading to the battlefield with you wielding hot weapons while I’m fighting bare-handed.
Leaving the original owner shed a tear of bitterness behind.
"It’s so scary, I’m terrified." Lan Cao wept, tears and snot all over her face, yet it didn’t slow her escape speed.
Lan Cao vigorously nodded in agreement, "Scary, so scary, let’s run!"
Suddenly pushing open the small door and bolting out, almost crashing into Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing’s calm expression nearly broke, her voice sharpening, "Why is it you two?"
Having seen terrifying man-eating monsters, facing the human Xu Qingqing, even knowing her formidable abilities, Lan Cao and Lan Ye feared her less.
They were people who had seen monsters.
With their fear diminishing, their bravery increased. Hearing Xu Qingqing’s words, Lan Ye, showing some boldness, sulked and rebutted, "Why can’t it be us?"
"Your attitude just now seemed like you were hoping we’d die inside."
"Exactly, you get to sneak away, why can’t we escape?" Lan Cao also joined in the reproach.
Xu Qingqing’s face momentarily twisted, causing Lan Cao and Lan Ye to shrink back, "W-What do you plan to do?"
"Brother, quickly apologize... S-She’s holding a grenade."
"Ah...sorry..."
Lan Cao and Lan Ye were cowardly, opportunistic sycophants.
Xu Qingqing glared at them with contempt, realizing if she didn’t throw away the item in her hand, lives would be lost.
Hearing the furious screams and battle sounds inside, she bit her lip, watching the fuse burn almost to the end, steeling her heart, she shoved Lan Cao and Lan Ye aside and dashed back inside.
"Sis, let’s quickly find a place to hide."
"Okay, okay, that’s a good idea... we’ll hide in the cabinet in the room."
"Fine, let’s hurry; otherwise, we’ll be caught and fed to the monsters."
According to their plan, Xu Qingqing was to hide first; with Gu Minxing orchestrating for her, even if those people discovered, facing the Clan Leader who would even eat the clan elders would surely be deterred by fear, refraining from revealing it immediately.
Once Su Li took over, distracting them, they would quickly run out through the hidden door.
This hidden door in the Clan Leader’s residence was noticed by Xu Qingqing through Gu Minxing’s fragments of speech, though he didn’t clearly state it, Xu Qingqing had a hunch that he was intentionally hinting to her.
Sure enough, upon entering the courtyard, she detected a clue after careful observation.
Later, Bearded Brother’s group would also exit through this door, and even if they realized Xu Qingqing’s group had vanished, they would be too occupied to chase them.
Even Gu Ling, who held a coming-of-age ceremony and had been transformed, escaped without the Gu family sparing manpower to pursue, Xu Qingqing realized the Gu family’s most pressing concern was the Clan Leader’s need for Merfolk Meat.
That monster couldn’t wait too long.
Xu Qingqing calculated coolly, their chance of breaking the situation was still high.
Even if there was a significant chance of attracting pursuers, it wouldn’t expose them too soon.
Su Li, that fool, definitely didn’t have the capability to escape.
What went wrong then?
Until she returned to the Clan Leader’s yard, Xu Qingqing couldn’t figure it out.
When Xu Qingqing arrived, the courtyard was already in chaos.
Bearded Brother’s group swung blades viciously against the clan elders.
The sharp blades capable of chopping people into pieces only left shallow cuts on these Gu family members, causing Bearded Brother’s cursing to escalate.
It’s deadly, these people are tougher than the Merfolk Monster met last night.
"Everyone move!" Xu Qingqing hurled an object into the yard, swiftly retreating.
Bearded Brother’s group saw what was in Xu Qingqing’s hand, instinctively wanting to dodge, but recognizing it didn’t mean their body reflexes responded fast enough. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Furthermore, in such a cramped courtyard, where could they hide?
With a "BOOM!" the closest spot to the blast became showered with flying flesh.
Xu Qingqing, diving to the ground, felt her back ache terribly, even noting a stench of burning proteins.
Once the black smoke cleared, the once elegant courtyard turned into debris.
The clan elders were wrecked, with no one remaining standing in the yard.
Bearded Brother’s group was injured, but at least aside from broken limbs, their lives were safe.
Compared to those blown into a mess of flesh, they were blessed by the goddess of luck.
