Chapter 3: Danger Ahead, Run!

"Run! Behind you…" You You shouted desperately, trying to warn the group about the approaching danger.

But her cry didn’t alert the people. Instead, the blind beast instantly locked onto her voice’s direction. With a thunderous roar, it charged straight toward You You.

Now she saw it clearly – a two-meter-tall monstrous creature with blood oozing from its eyes.

"Holy shit!" Fear paralyzed her completely, every hair standing upright as primal terror seized her body.

What kind of ancient monstrosity was this?!

As the beast opened its bloody jaws to lunge, the cautious retreating group suddenly reversed course like madmen, sprinting wildly back toward her.

"Look out!"

Lin Feng reached her first but couldn’t escape in time. He threw himself in front of her, shielding her with his body.

The beast’s fangs tore into him. Blood sprayed across You You’s vision as the creature’s bloodied snout pressed against her chest, its teeth piercing through Lin Feng to graze her skin.

Everything happened too fast. Before she could blink, Lin Feng hung limp in the beast’s jaws, its teeth grinding into his shoulder as others finally attacked with their weapons. The beast released him with an angry roar, letting his bleeding body collapse.

"Big Brother! You… stay with me!" You You caught him, trembling hands struggling to hold his weight.

Lin Feng felt life draining away. Hearing her panicked voice, he managed a weak smile. "Miss… don’t… fear…" Blood bubbled from his lips as he gasped, "We’ll… protect…"

Whatever brought this woman into these deadly woods didn’t matter. Every man’s deepest instinct demanded they protect her.

"Don’t move!" Guilt choked You You as she pressed on his gushing wound. She’d meant to warn them, but became the danger instead.

Those mocking gaming terms flashed in her mind – useless teammate.

She was the liability here.

Yet these strangers still risked everything for her. Why?!

"They can’t die! Won’t die!" Frantic, she scrambled through her items, producing a finger-sized vial of ruby liquid – a healing potion from her game.

No time for doubts. She shoved it at Lin Feng. "Drink this! Now!"

When he hesitated, she forced the vial between his lips. The moment the liquid touched his tongue, color returned to his face. His arm wound closed with shocking speed.

"This…" Lin Feng stared in disbelief. The wound had healed instantly, a speed even the finest Healing Potion couldn’t match.

ROOOAAAR——

The enraged monster’s flames erupted anew before anyone could react. Thrashing violently, it broke through the encircling fighters. Drawn by the thick scent of blood, it charged straight toward You You’s group again.

Shit!

"Run, miss!" Lin Feng shoved the woman beside him without hesitation.

You You instinctively grabbed his arm to pull him along. That momentary delay proved costly – the blind beast lunged with terrifying accuracy, jaws snapping toward blood-soaked Lin Feng.

Hell no! Not after I just saved him!

Fear vanished beneath white-hot rage. Acting purely on instinct, You You swung her arm with every ounce of strength.

"Fuck off!!"

CRACK!

The sound of shattering bone echoed through the clearing.

The giant beast howled pitifully, flames snuffing out as it tripped over its own limbs and crashed to the ground. Scrambling up in panic, it fled whimpering into the distance, tail between its legs.

…

You You: "…"

Lin Feng: "…"

Everyone: "…"

Silence.

It… ran away?

Complete bewilderment froze every face.

"Boss…" The group rushed over. Liu Qing glanced anxiously at Lin Feng’s bloodied form but hesitated when seeing You You. Blushing furiously, the female warrior flashed an eight-tooth smile at the girl. "Miss, y-you… unharmed?"

She scrubbed bloodstained hands on her robes before carefully taking Lin Feng’s arm from You You, as if fearing to dirty her. The surrounding men shuffled awkwardly, torn between concern for their leader and fascination with the mysterious girl.

"I’m fine. He’s not!" You You pointed at the bleeding man.

"Boss, can you move?" They finally focused on their injured leader. "How’d you drive that monster off?" Having been behind the creature, none had witnessed You You’s slap.

Before Lin Feng could answer, a deep rumbling shook the ground – growing louder like thunderous hooves approaching.

"What’s that noise?" The group paled. "Another earthquake?"

"Monsters!" You You remembered her urgent mission. "Hordes coming this way! We must leave the forest now!"

The color drained from every face.

Liu Qing’s scream pierced the air: "Beast wave!"
