Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1656 - 1653: Knocked Himself Out
"Who’s hitting me..." Zhang Zhicheng didn’t finish his sentence before falling to the ground unconscious.
Lin Tian stepped over him without even looking, and when he passed by Ning Luoxi, he paused slightly: "If there’s a next time working together, I don’t want to see this idiot again."
Looking at Zhang Zhicheng unconscious on the ground, Ning Luoxi smiled wryly: "I also feel like hitting him, but let’s check on Xuanxuan, her condition doesn’t seem good."
Lin Tian nodded and walked to the qin platform, frowned at Xiao Manxuan: "Xuanxuan, if you can hear me, look at me."
Xiao Manxuan turned around, her vacant and confused eyes slightly changed when she looked at Lin Tian. Her lips moved: "Lin... Tian..."
She uttered two words, which made Lin Tian breathe a sigh of relief, and at this time the Thunder Wolf team also ran out from the woods. Xiao Manxuan, who had been quiet, suddenly turned and stared at the Thunder Wolf team with hostility, as the Red Flame on her palm surged violently.
"Thunder Wolf, don’t come over, Xuanxuan only recognizes Lin Tian now," Ning Luoxi urgently shouted to stop Thunder Wolf Team from approaching. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Though Thunder Wolf Team went through special training, they couldn’t withstand one hit from Xiao Manxuan; one strike could potentially bring them down.
Despite their lesser strength, they had plenty of combat experience and strong danger awareness, naturally sensing Xiao Manxuan’s threat, so they stopped immediately, retreated three steps, showing no hostility.
"Xuanxuan, they’re my friends, don’t harm them," Lin Tian said gently, trying not to provoke her further.
Xiao Manxuan glanced at Lin Tian, obediently nodded, and then turned and walked towards the ancient qin. Lin Tian and Ning Luoxi exchanged a glance, unsure of what Xiao Manxuan intended to do.
Arriving at the qin, Xiao Manxuan reached out and slowly stroked the strings, the Red Flames on the ancient qin fluttered lightly, echoing the Red Flames on her hand, as if celebrating joyously.
A few seconds later, the qin trembled slightly, emitting a unique sound, like ancient celestial music. Then the Red Flames rapidly receded, absorbed into the qin body, disappearing.
With the Red Flames on the qin vanishing, the flames on Xiao Manxuan also retreated, soon disappearing into her body, her fiery red hair returning to a glossy black.
Her body swayed lightly, falling to the side, but Lin Tian had been watching her closely, moved swiftly, and caught her in his arms.
Xiao Manxuan tilted her head back, her eyes already clear, seeing Lin Tian brought a sweet smile to her face, but before she could say a word, her head tilted, and she closed her eyes.
"Xuanxuan!" Lin Tian shouted in fright, and Ning Luoxi also cried out, running up.
"She’s just asleep." Ning Luoxi checked her thoroughly and sighed with relief.
At this moment, the little girl slightly leaned her head, resting against Lin Tian’s chest, her long eyelashes closed, wearing a sweet smile and comfortable expression, breathing evenly, completely resting in slumber.
Lin Tian, not at ease, checked meticulously with his x-ray vision, finding no injuries or internal damage, the strange energy having vanished without a trace, even super x-ray could not detect it.
The Ice Soul Necklace still hung well on her white neck, Ice Soul Energy stable, not agitated by the foreign energy.
The little girl’s vital signs were perfectly normal, even healthier than the average person, making Lin Tian greatly relieved, but also puzzled why this outbreak of foreign energy hadn’t harmed her.
Could it be the qin? Lin Tian glanced at the ancient qin, but now it appeared normal, as it originally did, and even scanning with x-ray found no issues.
"Luoxi, help me pack the qin, we should head back, or my classmates will continue searching all over." Lin Tian gently said, seeing no reason to stay longer.
Ning Luoxi packed the qin, placed the wooden box on Lin Tian’s back, then stepped back and looked at Lin Tian: "I’m sorry for this incident, I didn’t expect Zhang Zhicheng to be so irrational at such a crucial moment, I’ll report his conduct truthfully, and the Zhang Family will surely punish him."
"It’s not your fault, no need to apologize, as long as Xuanxuan is fine, I don’t care about the rest," Lin Tian said indifferently.
Zhang Zhicheng, this kind of person, is like a fly thinking it’s flying high, but what it doesn’t realize is that to people, it’s just annoying noise that might get swatted one day.
What flies might not be an eagle, it could just be a fly.
"Captain Lei, I’ll be off now." Lin Tian greeted Thunder Wolf, carrying the wooden box, holding Xiao Manxuan, leaving the pool.
"Your classmates are searching in that direction, just go around the hill ahead and you’ll find them." Thunder Wolf pointed, saying.
After Lin Tian left, Thunder Wolf looked at Ning Luoxi and asked: "Instructor, what about Yasuo?"
Ning Luoxi frowned slightly, solemnly said: "Yasuo sustained a heavy blow from Xuanxuan, definitely heavily injured, not a worry in the near term, but the person who saved him needs our attention. To withstand Xuanxuan’s strike and retreat calmly, their strength exceeds mine."
"Stronger than you? Impossible..." A team member couldn’t believe it, mostly due to Ning Luoxi’s violent combat prowess leaving a deep impression, unwilling to accept that someone could surpass the instructor.
Ning Luoxi gestured to stop him: "Don’t investigate that person, it’s too dangerous for you, and if you encounter them, don’t engage. Alright, let’s go."
"What about this guy?" Thunder Wolf pointed to Zhang Zhicheng, asking.
"If you want to go through the trouble, drag him, or if not, wake him up." Ning Luoxi said coldly, not pleased.
Thunder Wolf found the instructor’s temper really tough, but the command fit his thoughts precisely. Thunder Wolf gestured to a team member, then pointed to the pool.
The team member chuckled, said "Got it," then picked Zhang Zhicheng up by the collar, and with a thud, threw him into the pool.
The mountain creek water at night was freezing; Zhang Zhicheng, jolted awake by the cold water, immediately came to his senses.
This Demon Exorcist splashed around in the water for quite a while before climbing ashore, his stomach full from gulping water, clothes all soaked, his hair a mess, utterly disheveled.
At this moment, he couldn’t care about appearances, collapsed by the shore catching his breath before he crawled up, confusedly asked: "Who hit me earlier? Why am I in the water?"
Thunder Wolf shrugged, looking puzzled as well: "Uh, I had just arrived then, didn’t see clearly, should be you accidentally bumped your head on a tree trunk, knocking yourself out and rolling into the water; we were all far away and couldn’t rescue in time."
The explanation of knocking oneself out was so smooth, if Lin Tian were here, he’d surely award him an acting prize. Other team members held back laughter, those unable to contain it looked up at the sky.
"Captain Lei, don’t you think this explanation is far-fetched?" Zhang Zhicheng wasn’t foolish, naturally not buying it, his face turning cold.
