Chapter 161 I Want to Protect You Too
After finally climbing up, Xu Jiao gasped for breath, not daring to look back at the place he just came from.

The rain was still falling, rustling, but amidst the sound, there was a rustling sound, which made one's scalp tingle familiar.

Xu Jiao froze suddenly, turned her head and looked at He Lianshu, did she open her mouth?That king is really still waiting for her around here, so patient and persistent?
He Lianshu frowned, looked in the direction where the voice came from, then turned his head, reached out to take the bow in Xu Jiao's hand, and then unloaded the quiver she was carrying on her back, and turned her back to himself.

"Find a safe place to hide, and I'll come back to pick you up when I'm done!" As he spoke, he took out a short dagger from his waist and stuffed it into Xu Jiao's hand.

Xu Jiao clenched the dagger tightly, opened her mouth to say something, met his eyes, and nodded after all, "Be careful!" After finishing speaking, watching He Lianshu nod, she gripped the dagger tightly, looked around, and turned her head He hid behind a big tree, and after hiding, he looked up again.

He Lianshu frowned, originally wanted to say that it wasn't very safe there, but changed his mind when he said something, and made a gesture for her to hide, but there was wind under her feet, and she moved towards the direction of the sound swept away.

The forest was densely covered with dense trees, which already covered the sky and the sun, but it rained for a while, and the sky seemed to be night.

Xu Jiao squinted in the drizzle, with both hands firmly on the tree trunk, staring closely at He Lianshu's back.

Suddenly, her eyes moved up, her heart tightened, and she couldn't hold back and shouted, "Above! Be careful!"

It was too late and then it was too late, on a big rock not far from Helianshu, the big worm pressed its two front paws on the rock slightly, then jumped up with all its strength, and jumped down from mid-air.

Xu Jiao's heart jumped up to his throat, and he almost jumped out again with a scream, but he held back and watched He Lianshu roll over and dodge with straight eyes, at the same time the arrow was on the string, "whoosh" With one sound, it was released simply and decisively.

With a sound of "Aw", the big worm roared and limped into the bushes.

Xu Jiao didn't see it clearly, but He Lianshu must have shot it.

Xu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but he was only halfway through when he heard a roar that made the rocks tremble, and suddenly a huge creature jumped out from behind the bushes.It opened its mouth wide, bared its sharp teeth, and with its tail upright, rushed towards Helianshu one after another.The tiger's tail swept against the bushes, making a crackling sound, and the big worm swooped again...

Xu Jiao originally thought that He Lianshu would dodge like before, but who knows, his feet froze for a moment, and he was actually thrown straight at him.

Xu Jiao let out a short exclamation in his throat, and after a little hesitation, he quickly walked towards it. Before he got close, he heard a muffled sound, and the big insect let out an "ow" and was kicked away. But after a while, it swooped back again.

Xu Jiao fought back and forth, but still managed to walk over step by step. The short dagger that He Lianshu gave her just now was tightly held in her hand, trembling uncontrollably along with her trembling hands.

In the muffled sound, the low roar of the big worm could be heard, but He Lianshu didn't make any sound at all.

Xu Jiao's heart was beating up to her throat, and finally she couldn't care about anything else, she stepped forward quickly, and poked her head in for a look.

Seeing He Lianshu lying on the ground, the big worm was pressing on him, but was tightly strangled by his hands and feet, the big worm was very annoyed, but couldn't move for a while, with a big mouth open to bite He Lianshu Lianshu couldn't reach it, and was even more anxious, so he could only growl...

If it was normal, He Lianshu had already gained the upper hand, as long as he persevered, he would win.

But he was wounded, and he was not healed. In order to save Xu Jiao before, the wound burst open again. Xu Jiao found that his arms holding the tiger were gradually weakening, and the tiger opened its bloody mouth. It went straight for He Lianshu's side neck, Xu Jiao panicked, and didn't care about anything else, he pulled out the dagger with a "shua", stepped forward two steps, raised the dagger and forced it towards the big beast's neck go.

The tiger howled in pain, the sound was so loud that it could be heard several miles away, it really shook the ground.

Red and hot blood sprayed out, splashing Xu Jiao's head and face, her hand holding the dagger trembled like chaff, but she didn't dare to let go.

The big worm struggled and writhed, He Lianshu used all his strength to hold it, Xu Jiao pulled out the dagger, ignoring the blood splashing all over his body, he stabbed it hard again...

After a while, the big worm stomped on all fours and finally stopped moving.

died?Xu Jiao rounded his eyes, a little in disbelief.

Until He Lianshu kicked the tiger, the huge tiger body rolled to the side, and fell to the ground with a bang, but there was no movement at all.

Xu Jiao squatted there, staring blankly at the tiger carcass, unable to recover for a long time, trembling all over, not to mention the dagger held in front of him...

He Lianshu stood up, looked at her expression, lowered his eyes deeply, and put his hand in front of her eyes.

Xu Jiao's gaze shifted to the hand that was held in front of her eyes. It was slender, powerful, broad and thick. This hand had saved her many times in times of crisis. The exact number of times...was somewhat unclear.

Xu Jiao let go of her hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "bang". She put her hand into his palm, and it was wrapped in an instant. She lifted it up with a little skill, but she still threw half of her body on him.

Meeting his eyes, she smiled wryly and said, "It's not intentional, my legs...the legs are weak."

He Lianshu looked at her like this, annoyed and funny, "Since you're so scared, why did you rush forward just now?"

"Then I can't watch you die, can I? I want to protect you too!" Leaning on him, Xu Jiao was finally not so afraid, and said with a sweet smile while pulling the corners of his mouth.

He had no idea how creepy that smile on that bloody face was at this moment.

He Lianshu looked at her, but the depths of his eyes seemed to be tumbling into a vortex, trying to swallow something into it.

"Cunning little girl, she is used to deceiving people with sweet words!" He snorted softly, his tone was still cold, but his voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Xu Jiao is not convinced anymore, although she has a little bit of meaning to let him remember her kindness, after all, the two of them have saved me for several rounds, although he saved her more Some, but you can't deny the fact that she saved him, right?

Even if there is such a small amount of selfishness, what she said is true! "Slander!" Feeling upset, she cursed in a low voice.

He Lianshu glanced at her, didn't say much, looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid the rain will continue, we'd better find a place to hide from the rain first."

Xu Jiao had no objection to this, but turned to look at the tiger carcass on the ground, "What should I do?"

He Lianshu glanced at her and turned to her, "Do you want a reward from the emperor?"

Xu Jiao hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

"Then it's over?" He Lianshu snorted softly, "Let's just let it go! I'll send a message to my people to come and take a look. If it's still there by then, these tiger skins and bones are really good things."
