Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Quick-Witted as Ji You

Camp 6.

Didn’t manage to enter the military base for a closer look, a bit of a regret, but having gained the friendship of the base leader, Ji You was still very happy. So, after leaving the military base with Li Yun and Bai Hui, Ji You turned around and said to the two: "He Zhen is really warm-hearted, with his words, we have found the biggest and strongest ally. On this trip back to the camp, Shaun can be accounted for."

Upon hearing this, Li Yun and Bai Hui both breathed a sigh of relief, after all, their task was to find allies and unite the surrounding teams to form a defense alliance. But! The three of them ended up exploring the surrounding environment and terrain...

You could say they seriously neglected their duties.

Now, having found such a powerful ally, Li Yun and Bai Hui were genuinely happy inside.

Then, with a smile on his lips, Li Yun said: "Ji You, are we going back to the camp now?"

Ji You shook her head: "No."

Li Yun frowned: "We’ve been out for quite a long time, what if Shaun needs us back there?"

Ji You firmly said: "There are still things left undone, we can’t go back."

Bai Hui didn’t understand and asked: "What...things?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ji You suddenly grinned, revealing her teeth: "You guys want to go back that badly? Why not let me send you off?"

The two of them: "..."

For no apparent reason, they felt Ji You’s face appeared ominously dark, her smile carried a chilling aura.

Their necks felt a bit cold.

Bai Hui opened his mouth: "Ji You, what...joke are you making?"

The next second.

Ji You suddenly drew out a folding knife, and in an instant, the blade extended to 2 meters, the long blade and sharp tip flashed past Bai Hui’s face.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

With a gust of wind, a lock of Bai Hui’s hair was instantly sliced in two, he even heard the hot, burnt scent released by the intense cutting force.

Bai Hui’s fingers trembled: "!!!"

The next instant, out of the corner of Bai Hui’s eye, he saw an arrow flying straight towards his forehead, but Ji You’s knife blocked it, the arrow nearly grazed Ji You’s cheek.

Bai Hui’s eyes widened, gasping in shock!

Crash!

"Get down!"

Ji You shouted loudly!

Bai Hui and Li Yun immediately got down.

The moment the arrow missed, Ji You swung her knife, powerfully cleaving it into pieces, the sharp arrow fragmented, falling to the ground, only for a thin shard to fly towards a direction across the river due to Ji You’s knife force.

Whoosh—

Directly hit a giant stone on the opposite side!

Thud!

Vaguely, Bai Hui and Li Yun could even hear the faint sound of arrow fragments striking the stone!

Such...such strength?

Li Yun and Bai Hui tensed their nerves, cautiously poked their heads out, and then discovered some commotion behind the giant stone on the opposite riverbank.

A shadow flashed by!

This is—

The enemy!

"!!!" Li Yun and Bai Hui’s pupils suddenly tightened!

The enemy appeared!

When did they show up?

Where are they hiding? How many people came from the enemy’s side?

...

They knew none of this!

If not for Ji You’s quick reaction and strong skills, the two of them might have been eliminated!

Bai Hui and Li Yun’s hearts shook fiercely!

At this moment—

"Where are you running to!" Ji You shouted fiercely, suddenly darting out!

"Don’t—"

"Go—"

Bai Hui hadn’t finished his words before Ji You had already chased out, Bai Hui opened his mouth, Li Yun gritted his teeth, saying: "Let’s go too!"

"We can’t let Ji You go into danger alone!" Besides, it was because of them that she chased after.

The two didn’t hesitate, quickly getting up from the ground, chasing after Ji You’s disappearing figure.

It was at this moment, the two understood what it meant to hide one’s skills!

Standing only 165 centimeters tall, looking frail, Ji You’s full-speed running reached a terrifying pace. Bai Hui and Li Yun chased with all their might, yet still lost sight of Ji You.

At this time, the two just crossed the water, passed the river surface, quietly arriving on the enemy’s side of the border river, noticing a small puddle and footprints left from where Ji You had crossed earlier.

Li Yun and Bai Hui, hurried and determined, decided to follow the footprints and chase!

Of course, this was an arena, a competition, the two understood they couldn’t afford any negligence. Slight carelessness could lead to enemy ambush!

The two cautiously pursued for a while until they noticed Ji You’s footprints getting fainter, eventually disappearing.

This was because the number of obstacles on the ground increased, with a few giant stones laid out, leaving no footprints when one stepped on them.

The two startled inside, growing increasingly vigilant.

Then—

The next second, just as Li Yun and Bai Hui felt the deeper they ventured, the greater the unease, finding themselves stuck in a dilemma, Ji You’s figure leapt over, crossing over the two of them.

The two: "..."

Ji You had already darted several meters, and upon realizing the presence of her teammates, she seemed deeply moved, her figure came to an abrupt stop.

Turned around.

Retreated a few meters.

Ji You suddenly shouted: "Stunned by high fever? This is enemy territory, quickly retreat!" After speaking, she took lead and shot out!

"..." Bai Hui opened his mouth wide: "Oh—understood!"

"Understood!" Li Yun said.

The two quickly regrouped, catching up with Ji You.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Three agile figures, moving at an incredible speed, rapidly reached the border river, Ji You plunged in headfirst!

Splosh—

As soon as she entered the water, like a fish she swam swiftly, in no time reaching the middle of the river.

Watching this scene left Li Yun and Bai Hui full of admiration!

The two dared not delay, diving into the river.

Splosh~

Splosh~

After swimming a few meters, gusts of wind surged over the river, arrows plunged into the water.

Their necks tingled, sensing immense danger, holding their breath, diving deeper underwater.

"Damn it!"

"Touch my people?"

"Too arrogant!"

Before catching their breath, Bai Hui vaguely heard Ji You’s irritated cursing, then his head went dizzy, before passing out feeling a massive tug pulling him towards the riverbank.

Li Yun’s situation wasn’t much better, he was slightly more fortunate to remain conscious throughout. Therefore, he knew what had happened just now! Had Ji You not turned around and swum back, Bai Hui might have...!

Furthermore, the enemy’s offensive slightly increased, reaching its peak as Ji You returned to rescue, arrows, stones... came crashing, several times those stones almost struck Ji You’s nape!

Fortunately, Ji You’s agility skillfully avoided disaster!

Upon swimming to the shore, emerging from the water, Li Yun had no time to react before witnessing the small-statured Ji You lifting Bai Hui, slung him over her back as if carrying a pig, and began to run!

Li Yun was dumbfounded.

They had returned to their own camp but hadn’t yet escaped danger, Li Yun’s face remained blank; the next second he snapped out of it, quickly following.
