The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1416 - 1429: Days Favored by the Escape Boss (30)
But there were also those particularly unlucky, like Gu Minxing.
Earlier, when Gu Minxing was pulled aside by several clan elders, he was very close at the time of the sudden change. Even though he dodged quickly, he was still seriously injured.
Compared to those who blacked out, blown to pieces, and died outright, it was hard to say whether it was more tragic for him to survive but lose limbs, or for those who lost their lives.
Now that he was gravely injured and unconscious, he didn’t have to think about his tragic fate for the time being.
Xu Qingqing rushed in, and the first thing she saw was Gu Minxing’s bare torso. Her heart ached, and tears started streaming down.
For some reason, she was particularly concerned about this NPC who held goodwill towards her.
As she ran over in panic and pain to save him, the Bearded Brother, enduring severe pain, lifted his head and shouted at Xu Qingqing, "Forget about that NPC, check on Zhixin and Yi Lin, they can’t hold on!"
In his rush of anger, the resentment and dissatisfaction in the Bearded Brother’s tone were evident.
If it weren’t for her grenade, they wouldn’t have been so heavily injured, even though the enemy was hurt a thousand ways, they were hurt eight hundred.
At this moment, her attention was still mostly on Gu Minxing.
Could an NPC possibly be more important than the lives of her companions?
Obviously, to Xu Qingqing, Gu Minxing’s life was indeed more important than those of her temporary companions.
She coldly glanced at the Bearded Brother and didn’t doubt his words. She ran resolutely in the direction where Gu Minxing was lying, pouring the precious Medicine Pills from her bag into his mouth as if they cost nothing.
Produced in the game space, even a box of the simplest cold medicine was precious, let alone those that stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and replenish blood....
Already severely injured, the Bearded Brother found himself coughing up blood from Xu Qingqing’s wasteful generosity.
Seeing Zhixin and the others’ eyelids droop with their breathing weakening, the Bearded Brother shouted loudly, "Forget him! Escape quickly, the Clan Leader, that big boss, hasn’t appeared yet."
The Bearded Brother’s words made Xu Qingqing’s expression tense. She quickly scanned her surroundings, and indeed did not see the Clan Leader, nor Su Li.
Su Li, just an ordinary person, had a very small chance of surviving this melee, likely ending up among the pile of mangled corpses. But the biggest threat was still that terrifying monster, the Clan Leader.
"Quickly, come help, he’s from the Gu family, that monster won’t harm him," Zhixin said weakly, using up what seemed like her last breath. After that, her already pale face grew even more ashen, and the chest she clutched dripped blood onto the ground.
Gu Minxing’s brows furrowed, even in unconsciousness, enduring intense pain that made his facial muscles twitch occasionally.
"No." Xu Qingqing quietly refuted, grabbing Gu Minxing’s bare body, "Go."
Had it not been for her body’s transformation, making her exceptionally strong, Xu Qingqing wouldn’t have been able to move Gu Minxing’s body.
She searched the surroundings sorrowfully, not finding Gu Minxing’s severed limbs, but even if she did, in this urgent situation, she couldn’t take them with her.
Xu Qingqing’s entire focus was on Gu Minxing, her actions incomprehensible to the Bearded Brother and the others.
Seeing that they couldn’t rely on Xu Qingqing anymore, the urgency in everyone’s heart grew stronger as time passed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
A monster boss was lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out at any moment and rip them apart.
At this point, the missing Su Li became their only hope for buying time. They could only hope the Clan Leader had taken Su Li away to feed upon, giving them a temporary reprieve.
Luckily, Xu Qingqing hadn’t completely forgotten about her companions, slipping each of the Bearded Brother’s group a blood-replenishing Medicine Pill.
Game-produced items were indeed top quality, resembling in-game blue potions and red potions. The pills melted at the entrance, and a refreshing sensation quickly circulated through their veins. The Bearded Brother’s group’s lethargic spirits recovered a bit, and their previously critical injuries regained some vitality, saving their lives and restoring some strength.
At the instant the pills were consumed, the Bearded Brother’s group’s eyes lit up, surprise and shock hidden beneath their eyelids.
The effects of the Medicine Pills Xu Qingqing held were surprisingly effective.
Having regained a bit of mobility, the Bearded Brother immediately helped the others up, and they supported each other as they moved outside.
Outside the courtyard, it was eerily quiet, and every shadow seemed to hide a lurking monster. The fleeing group was on edge, their nerves stretched to the limit.
"Damn it, how did it come to this? This game’s difficulty has exceeded the S level, and it’s only the second day. We’re already facing terrifying monsters, not to mention the most dangerous night.... We don’t even know what other crises we’ll face after this. Are they trying to wipe us out completely?" Yi Lin’s face was covered in blood and despair.
The others were equally dispirited, their eyes filled with panic and helplessness.
The group fled to their previous dwelling, sealing the gate behind them, pulling out all their life-saving tools.
Against a Clan Leader who could tear people apart with bare hands, a simple wooden door couldn’t possibly hold.
The Bearded Brother didn’t hesitate at all to throw a thumb-sized Golden Bell over his head, showing a meat-grinder-like pain on his face.
The tiny Golden Bell quickly expanded in mid-air, transforming into a large Golden Bell Shield that covered the small courtyard.
Once the Golden Bell Shield settled, it turned transparent and disappeared.
This strange method left Xu Qingqing dumbfounded, marveling at the magical nature of game tools.
The others also looked at the Bearded Brother with mixed feelings, realizing how deeply he hid this tool.
Even earlier, he hadn’t thought of using the Vajra Cover, only now that it was a matter of life and death did he have no choice....
With tight lips, the Bearded Brother explained, "This thing is for one-time use only and can only be used at the most critical moment. That’s why I didn’t throw it out earlier. Moreover, it only has defensive capabilities and can’t be used for attacks once inside."
Zhixin and the others moved their lips with a complex expression before lowering their heads, saying nothing.
The Bearded Brother sighed internally: the most dangerous thing for a team is internal discord, lack of unity.
Even for a temporary team, it is the same.
No one noticed Yi Lin, hanging his head as if trying to endure the pain. In his eyes flashed a look of hatred and resentment.
If only, if only the Golden Bell Shield had appeared earlier.... Maybe she wouldn’t have suffered so much pain.
After the surprise, Xu Qingqing’s expression turned cold, her sharp gaze sweeping over the group, "At this point, are you still hiding..."
