Chapter 606, Saving Li Ran

Just an hour before the wall creeper started to engulf the center of the wall, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue were heading towards the center of the wall.

Only when they passed by the entrance of a courtyard, Zhou Yingxue suddenly saw some banners scattered on the ground under her feet, she froze for a moment, “Master, why are there so many banners falling on the ground here, the number of these banners can be a lot more than the downstairs of the hotel where Luo Lan and the others are staying.”

Ren Xiaosu also got curious, he squatted down and plucked away the leaves of the wall-crawler, and he suddenly saw a support sign made with LED lights, which was still lit up, Dye Dye, we love you!

“Wait, Dye? Why is it so familiar, it seems like I’ve heard it somewhere before,” Ren Xiaosu said suspiciously.

Zhou Yingxue was stunned, “Master, this is Li Ran’s stage name ah have you forgotten?”

She suddenly looked at the courtyard next to her, which had been completely covered by wall-crawlers, “This can’t be Li Ran’s home, can it?”

Ren Xiaosu remembered after Zhou Yingxue’s prompting that Li Ran’s stage name was indeed Dye Dye, and he had also read in the newspaper that Li Ran had safely returned to Barrier 61.

This news was still the headline of the entertainment section of Hope Media’s newspaper at that time.

“Let’s go,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Even if her house is here, she definitely can’t be spared, this wall creeper has already wrapped her house safely.”

“Master let’s go in and take a look,” Zhou Yingxue pleaded, “Li Ran is actually a good person, moreover all the humans in the neighborhood are only being used by the wall-crawler as a reserve of food slowly absorbing their blood, maybe Li Ran isn’t dead yet?”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at Zhou Yingxue, “When did you get so close to her?”

“Earlier, Li Ran told me that she was actually very pitiful, she was the illegitimate daughter of one of the Wang Clan’s powers-that-be, her mother was one of Wang Clan’s former maids, and she was kicked out of the family after she got pregnant,” Zhou Yingxue explained, “Luckily, there was someone who secretly took care of them later on, so they didn’t die of starvation, mother and daughter. Li Ran didn’t have many friends either, the people surrounding her were all trying to get her money, she told me a lot that night, and I thought she was kinda pathetic.”

It was also the fact that the 74th barrier was broken in the first place that caused Li Ran to reveal her heart in an extremely vulnerable situation, while Zhou Ying Xue’s own teenage years were also pitiful, with her mother bedridden, she had no choice but to sell her body to Yang as a spy, and so the two of them were still a bit of sympathizers.

Plus, Zhou Ying Xue is not a cold-blooded and heartless person, and now that she knows that Li Ran might be inside, of course she wants to see if she can save the other person’s life.

“Master,” Zhou Yingxue said seriously, “You’re actually not that cold-blooded, are you?”

Ren Xiaosu sighed, “Then let’s go in and take a look.”

The two of them set aside the wall-crawlers outside the house, and those wall-crawlers’ tentacles suddenly turned into hard thorns when they were touched, only to soften back down again when it didn’t find any prey.

Ren Xiaosu’s scalp tingled a little when he saw this scene, how could an ordinary person be spared when encountering this kind of monster?

“Didn’t you say that fighting over its food would make it rage?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zhou Yingxue muttered, “Robbing one shouldn’t matter ……”

The two of them just pushed the door in, just in time to see Li Ran being suspended in the center of the villa’s living room by an uncountable number of vines, at this time, Li Ran’s face was pale.

The vines were intertwined from Li Ran’s limbs, bizarre vines and fragile young girl, her body hanging in the air like a beautiful sacrificial tribute, with a strange beauty.

Zhou Yingxue hurriedly held Ren Xiaosu’s hand and came in front of Li Ran, she tried to touch Li Ran’s pulse, but before her palms could get close, there were already wall-crawler’s tentacles next to her that came over to block it.

Only, when they came in front of Zhou Yingxue, they re-stopped and hovered beside Zhou Yingxue, seemingly a little puzzled.

Ren Xiaosu confirmed that this wall-crawler must not have hearing, and its intelligence might not be that great, or else it wouldn’t have allowed Zhou Yingxue to hide for so long.

The previous experiment’s IQ was too high, Ren Xiaosu was afraid that this wall-crawler was also a highly intelligent being, and that would be troublesome.

He surveyed the tentacles and said, “I’ll wait a while I’ll directly chop off all the vines on Li Ran’s body, remember, if the wall-crawler attacks me in a rage, be sure to give up on Li Ran at the first opportunity, I’ll carry you and escape, understand?”

“Uh-huh,” Zhou Yingxue nodded.

As soon as the words fell, Ren Xiaosu’s black blade appeared out of nothingness, and with just a snap of his fingers he cut off all the vines on Li Ran’s body.

Zhou Yingxue did not go to hold the falling Li Ran in the first moment, but instead held her pale palm in the air!

In the next moment, countless tentacles came towards Ren Xiaosu, and the vines in the entire villa twisted wildly, messy and violent.

Ren Xiaosu had already made all the preparations, yet those tentacles even stopped again when they came in front of him!

A spike hovered right at the tip of Ren Xiaosu’s nose, but Zhou Yingxue realized that Ren Xiaosu was motionless, not even blinking his eyes.

She had received professional training, so she knew very well that when danger came, it was a normal instinctive reaction for humans to blink, but it was this blinking moment that could lead to a world of difference in the outcome of the battle.

That’s why powerful warriors go through this kind of training to overcome their instincts, just like Yang Xiaoguan was able to smooth his heart rate just by deep breathing, it’s all against the body’s instincts.

Of course, it was also a sign of truly mastering one’s body!

“You carry Li Ran, let’s hurry and get out of here,” Ren Xiaosu said, he clearly felt a vague sense of crisis, at this moment, although the wall crawler had stopped, Ren Xiaosu felt that this time it seemed to have sensed something.

The two rushed out of the villa, Li Ran was pulled up by Zhou Yingxue with one hand on his shoulder, as if he was carrying a bag of rice.

Ren Xiaosu looked back to the tentacles in the villa, those tentacles followed them out of the villa, but when they were far away, they stopped chasing.

Ren Xiaosu sighed in relief, to be honest if it wasn’t for Zhou Yingxue’s repeated pleas, he would never have taken this risk because of a Li Ran.

Li Ran on Zhou Ying Xue’s shoulder suddenly woke up after a whimper, Zhou Ying Xue put her down, “Master, she’s still alive!”

At this moment, Li Ran’s body was still bleeding from the dozen or so wounds that had been stabbed into by the tentacles, and having had a large amount of blood sucked out of her earlier, she was now most likely in a state of shock.

Ren Xiaosu took out the black medicine and prepared to anoint Li Ran, but realized that the clothes on Li Ran’s body were riddled with holes, and some of the injured parts were very sensitive ……

“You come and anoint her,” Ren Xiaosu said to Zhou Yingxue with an expressionless face.

Zhou Yingxue innocently blinked her eyes and looked at Ren Xiaosu: “Master, I’m holding your hand in my right hand and her hand in my left, how can I wipe the medicine?”

“Deliberately isn’t it, want to watch the fun?” Ren Xiaosu raised an eyebrow.

“Master you don’t always make it look like you’re at a disadvantage, okay,” Zhou Yingxue couldn’t help but start spitting, “We’re the girls ah, clearly you’re taking advantage of it okay! How do you make it look like we’re taking advantage of you!”
