I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 232 - 228 Such Fast Speed
Chapter 232: Chapter 228: Such Fast Speed Chapter 232 -228: Such Fast Speed Taotie bent down, tore off a piece of cloth from Kui Mulang, wiped the blood on the Mountain Splitter Dagger in his hand, and carelessly threw it, the blood-stained cloth fluttering down, covering Kui Mulang’s face just right.
“It’s bad enough being ugly, let alone coming out to scare people.”
“Sinful, very sinful.”
Taotie sheathed his dagger, strategically transferred all communication devices, weapons, and ammunition from Kui Mulang’s body to his own pockets, and then casually walked toward Fang Xiaocao.
Upon rendezvousing with Fang Xiaocao, Taotie handed over Kui Mulang’s guns and ammunition to her.
“Eagle brand goods, imported!”
“Princess Your Highness, have fun with it.”
Taotie spoke lightly, but Fang Xiaocao was bewildered.
“What’s going on?”
Fang Xiaocao asked, puzzled.
“Just a little coward, not worth mentioning.”
Taotie waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
“Princess Your Highness, let’s keep moving.”
Taotie said with a cheerful smile.
Nobody could guess from Taotie’s simple smile that he had just killed a man.
To the unknowing, they might think he was just out on a picnic.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, offering no objections.
The surrounding forest was fraught with danger.
Without Taotie’s protection, she could hardly take a step.
Whatever Taotie said to do, that’s what they’d do.
Compared to her life, Fang Xiaocao felt her opinions weren’t that important.
Fang Xiaocao and Taotie walked side by side, stepping deep and shallow into the soft fallen leaves, continuing along the path Tom had planned.
The way was eerily silent.
Not even the sound of insect chirping could be heard.
The farther they walked, the more solemn Taotie’s expression became.
Fang Xiaocao was unaware of what this meant.
But Taotie, the experienced fighter, knew well that this was the calm before a storm.
An ambush!
Read lat𝙚st chapters at fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓ Only.
There was a very dangerous master nearby!
The ability to subdue the insects and animals of the forest with their mere presence indicated that the opponent was very strong, much stronger than Kui Mulang at the very least.
Taotie’s hand quietly reached for the handle of his dagger.
His eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
Fang Xiaocao was unaware of the impending danger, still studying the route Tom had planned.
Suddenly!
Fang Xiaocao was grabbed by a large hand.
Fang Xiaocao was startled and was about to draw her gun.
Taotie’s voice reached her ears: “Don’t move!”
Upon hearing Taotie’s voice, Fang Xiaocao relaxed and stopped her hand which was on her gun.
“What’s wrong?”
Fang Xiaocao asked, puzzled.
“More people are coming!”
Taotie whispered.
Taotie, holding Fang Xiaocao, slowly retreated.
A pair of tiger eyes tinged with a hint of crimson.
This was a sign that Taotie was ready to go all out.
Taotie was a human-shaped ferocious beast!
Where would the nickname come from if not from his bloodthirsty ferocity?
The bloodthirsty Taotie was the most terrifying ferocious beast.
“Ssshhh ssshhh ssshhh….”
In the eerily quiet jungle around them, a series of strange footsteps sounded, sometimes far, sometimes near.
It seemed like one person, yet also multiple people.
This peculiar sound added a layer of horror to the already dark and silent forest.
Taotie frowned, revealing a ferocious smile.
Crazed and bloodthirsty.
The sight made Fang Xiaocao tremble inwardly.
She had seen that expression on Taotie before.
It was that time when he fought a life and death battle with Tom.
Taotie had the same expression then.
It was truly terrifying, frightening!
“Princess Your Highness, don’t look back later.”
“No matter what you hear, just run.”
“Follow the route Tom planned!”
“If you see anyone, shoot them!”
“Tom and I will come to find you.”
While continuously retreating, Taotie kept instructing.
Taotie’s unusual behavior made Fang Xiaocao realize that the person coming might be a formidable opponent.
Even Taotie was not sure he could defeat them entirely.
Fang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.
“Okay!”
“I understand!”
“Don’t worry, I too have means to protect myself.”
Fang Xiaocao said with a feigned lightness in her laughter.
Taotie glanced at Fang Xiaocao and nodded.
Taotie knew Fang Xiaocao had means to protect herself, otherwise, he and Tom wouldn’t have brought her here to search for any treasures.
Wouldn’t it have been better if just he and Tom had come?
Why bring along Fang Xiaocao, an encumbrance?
“Follow my command!”
“When I say run, you run!”
Taotie said in a deep voice.
“Mhm!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded heavily.
The surrounding “rustle, rustle, rustle” of footsteps continuously entered their ears, like a ghostly dirge.
Continuously strumming on their heartstrings.
Fang Xiaocao had already started to sweat nervously.
Taotie’s expression grew increasingly fierce.
Taotie continued to lead Fang Xiaocao as they retreated.
His eyes constantly moving, seeming to determine the direction of the footsteps.
The hand clutching the dagger handle had never loosened, always maintaining the quickest drawing position.
Fang Xiaocao took in all of Taotie’s cautiousness.
She knew the enemies hidden in the dark were tough to deal with.
So tough that even Taotie needed to be careful in handling them.
That wasn’t good news.
This indicated that those hidden assailants were of the same level as Taotie and Tom.
One misstep…
Even Taotie might fall.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Human figures flickered in the trees on both sides.
Their speed was extreme, Fang Xiaocao could only hear them.
She couldn’t even see a single figure.
But Taotie’s brow furrowed even more tightly.
“Who on earth is it?”
“How can they be so fast?”
“Why haven’t I heard of such a character in Jianghu?”
“Could they be secretly trained by some force?”
Taotie kept muttering softly.
Clearly, not just Fang Xiaocao was unable to catch a glimpse of the opponent; even Taotie found their bizarre speed somewhat elusive.
Taotie stood in place, “whoosh” as he drew his dagger.
“Princess Your Highness, run!”
Taotie yelled.
Fang Xiaocao startled, then quickly responded.
She bolted!
Racing towards the path Tom had planned.
Seeing this, Taotie gave a slight smile.
His hand holding the Mountain Splitter Dagger, he stood firm on the spot.
His crimson eyes scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly!
A “whoosh” as a figure darted out from the bushes.
Without giving Taotie a glance, it headed straight for Fang Xiaocao.
“Hehe~”
“Ignoring me?”
“You really deserve to die!”
Taotie sneered coldly.
Slowly lifting his head, a black gun in hand.
Aimed at the figure.
The next second!
“Bang” a loud sound.
A burst of blood exploded from the figure.
The figure instantly stiffened on the spot.
Turning around incredulously to look at Taotie.
“You…”
“You have no martial ethics…”
“To actually… use a gun…”
The figure said tremblingly.
As the words fell, the figure collapsed with a “thud.”
Twitched a few times, then breathed no more.
“Huh~”
Taotie blew on the gun barrel, tucked away the gun.
Looking at the body on the ground, he sneered coldly.
“Hehe~”
“So what if you’re fast?”
“Can you outrun a bullet?”
Taotie sneered dismissively.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Just as Taotie was feeling smug, dense sounds of air being split came from around, his expression changed, he quickly dodged behind a large tree, evading the attack of hidden weapons.
