I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 256 - 252 is stuck
Chapter 256: Chapter 252 is stuck… Chapter 256 -252 is stuck… “Tom, are you okay?”
Seeing the usually suave Tom in such a sorry state, Fang Xiaocao asked with concern.
Fang Xiaocao swore that this was the most disheveled she had ever seen Tom, the handsome foreigner.
However…
She couldn’t help but marvel at the hair gel Tom used, surely a premium brand.
Despite being in such a mess, his hairstyle hadn’t budged.
Fang Xiaocao exclaimed with admiration!
“Princess Your Highness, it’s just a superficial wound.”
Tom smiled faintly, reassuring Fang Xiaocao.
Hearing Tom say that, Fang Xiaocao nodded.
If Tom said he was fine, she felt relieved. Given his character, if he were seriously injured and it could affect their onward journey, he definitely wouldn’t pretend to be okay.
“It’s good you’re alright,”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Princess Your Highness, let Hummingbird treat your wounds, and then we can go support Taotie,”
Tom suggested to Fang Xiaocao.
Having seen the photos Taotie sent to the terminal, Tom guessed that as long as Taotie stayed quiet inside the crevice, he would be safe for the moment.
The Giant Serpent would pay a steep price if it tried to collapse the rock wall to reach him. Given animal instincts, the serpent likely wouldn’t injure itself just for a morsel of food not enough even to get stuck between its teeth.
It was contrary to an animal’s hunting instincts.
At Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao looked down at her own appearance—’miserable’ barely did it justice.
As for Tom and Hummingbird, who had been protecting her, they were in even worse shape; their clothes had practically turned into tattered rags, with a more artistic flair than even the uniforms of the Beggars’ Sect at the street corners.
“Let’s skip it!”
“We can all clean up after we save Taotie.”
Fang Xiaocao shook her head, smiling bitterly.
Cleaning up now would be pointless, as they would likely get injured again in the upcoming struggle with the Giant Serpent.

Alcohol sterilization on wounds hurts a lot.
Xiaocao admitted she was afraid of the pain!
Such torment, if it could be suffered less, should be suffered less.
She, Fang Xiaocao, was no masochist.
“Alright then!”
“Let’s go support Taotie.”
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s determination, Tom did not press the issue. Instead, he checked his equipment, took some items from his backpack to replenish it, and prepared to set off.
“Let’s go!”
“You two with good fighting skills go ahead, I’ll follow behind. I can handle being the rear guard,”
Fang Xiaocao said cheerfully.
Tom hesitated for a moment but then nodded, “Yes!”
“Hummingbird, let’s move!”
Tom called out to Hummingbird.
Tom and Hummingbird moved swiftly ahead.
Fang Xiaocao followed behind, using all her strength to barely keep up with the pace of the two.
Fang Xiaocao silently vowed that once they got out of here and she returned home, she would definitely train her physical fitness, to keep up with Taotie…
No, forget Taotie, he was just a big lumbering elephant.
His barbaric Berserker combat style, Fang Xiaocao felt, didn’t suit her.
Hmm, let’s choose Hummingbird!
The nimble and graceful fighting style of Hummingbird suited her much better, a beautiful warrior girl.
“Yes!”
“I’ll train in fitness and learn combat skills with Hummingbird!”
Fang Xiaocao made up her mind, not to be just a decorative vase, but a durable stainless-steel basin!
By the time Fang Xiaocao caught up, Tom and Hummingbird had already started fighting with the Giant Serpent.
To say they were fighting…
In truth, it looked more like they were being chased by the Giant Serpent.
Both armed with guns and knives, they were unable to inflict any real damage on the serpent, at most breaking off a few of its scales.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao’s heart raced.
Although the photo sent by Taotie had already given her a glimpse of the Giant Serpent’s terror, and she had braced herself for it, actually laying eyes on the true likeness of the Giant Serpent still sent shivers down her spine.
Too terrifying, too frightening.
Each scale of the serpent radiated a chilling horror.
Fang Xiaocao squatted behind a huge boulder, peeking out at Tom and Hummingbird as they relied on their real bodies’ speed, continuously dodging the Giant Serpent’s onslaught. If one of them got into trouble, the other would rush to distract the Giant Serpent, buying time for the one in danger to escape.
Even so, Tom and Hummingbird were still in perilous situations, having come close to death and nearly being swallowed by the Giant Serpent several times.
Seeing Tom and Hummingbird in danger and then looking at her own short legs, Fang Xiaocao decisively gave up on the suicidal idea of attacking the Giant Serpent herself.
If she went out…
It would simply add to their troubles.
Tom and the others would have to look out for her as well.
Fang Xiaocao cautiously looked around, dodging the shards of rock flying everywhere while searching for the crevice Taotie used to evade the Giant Serpent.
Soon, Fang Xiaocao saw the crevice.
But…
The crevice was right next to the head of the Giant Serpent, and with her skills, she couldn’t get close, let alone check whether Taotie was injured.
Fang Xiaocao took out her device and sent a message to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Taotie, are you still alive?]
From within the crevice,
Taotie saw Fang Xiaocao’s message and curled his lips.
He immediately began to reply to Fang Xiaocao.
[Taotie: Wuu wuu~ Dear Princess Your Highness, your Knight is still alive!]
Seeing that Taotie could still send messages, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Taotie, with his thick skin, wouldn’t die so easily.
[Fang Xiaocao: Come out, help Tom and the others!]
Fang Xiaocao issued a command to Taotie.
One more person would give them a slightly better chance.
This Giant Serpent was too difficult to deal with.
The three top assassins, Tom and his companions, working together with all their might, might still stand a chance against this creature.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s message, Taotie smiled bitterly, his smile filled with helplessness.
[Taotie: My dear Princess Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t want to go out and help, but it’s a case of the spirit being willing, but the flesh being weak!]
“Huh?”
Seeing Taotie’s reply, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?”
“What’s happening?”
“Could it be that Taotie is seriously injured?”
Fang Xiaocao was somewhat confused and immediately sent a message to ask what happened to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Taotie, what’s wrong with you?]
[Fang Xiaocao: Are you seriously injured?]
Worried about Taotie, Fang Xiaocao sent two consecutive messages asking about his condition.
Looking at Fang Xiaocao’s messages, Taotie put on an expression uglier than crying.
“Sigh~”
“My once-great reputation ah~”
Taotie gave a tragic sigh to the heavens, full of desolation.
[Taotie: Wuu wuu wuu~]
[Taotie: Princess Your Highness, I’m stuck.]
“Pfft~”
Seeing Taotie’s message, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but burst out laughing indecently.
“Stuck?”
“Hahahaha~”
“I’m dying of laughter~”
Although she knew it wasn’t the time to laugh, upon learning that Taotie was stuck in the crevice, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help clutching her stomach, laughing.
A big, dumb bear stuck in a trap.
Unable to go forward, unable to retreat.
Calls to the heavens went unanswered, prayers to the earth went unheard.
He could only be stuck there, howling in vain…
What a picture-perfect scene!
