"Ah."
Equipped with powerful thermal weapons, the Tiangang team was still not a match for the dark python who was horribly strong.
Without a direct attack on these unlucky members of the Tiangang team, the dark python merely passed by them, and they would be frozen into dark ices abruptly and then perished.
Instantly, about fifty or sixty members of the over-hundred-people team died and turned into ashes. There were only horribly desperate shouts in the air from time to time.
"You brute, how dare you bully me like this?"
Li Chengqian had never been insulted like this since he was a child.
The Tiangang team led by him was almost destroyed by the dark python, so how could he bear this?
Bump!
Li Chengqian violently stamped on the ground with his feet and then jumped into the air like a beam of light.
Swish!
There was a sharp sound breaking the wind. His speed could have reached over 340 m/s, the speed of sound.
At the same time, he grabbed a sharp blood-red combat knife in his hand.
Like a remarkable god, Li Chengqian launched an unavoidable attack on the lethal point of the dark python with his knife.
Roar!
The python realized the danger and suddenly twisted around. On its big head larger than a car, its red eyes as large as light bulbs were filled with anger.
Swish!
It caught the blood-red combat knife swung by Li Chengqian with its outrageous tail.
Bump!
Crack!
Abruptly, the horrible energy crashed in the air, causing a violent spark.
The fierce attack by Li Chengqian shook the dark python out of balance, but it was stronger than him. Therefore, having been hit by the blood-red combat knife brandished by Li Chengqian, the python knocked him away with its tail.
"Wow."
Li Chengqian was thrown up and then severely fell onto the ground kilometers away from there. His handsome face terribly twisted. And he even unconsciously vomited a big mouthful of blood.
Roar!
However, the dark python didn't stop attacking him. It howled and rushed faster than the speed of sound in the blink of an eye and restarted attacking him crazily.
"You brute, how could you be so strong?"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. He couldn't wait for having the dark python sliced, but he was not strong enough to do so.
Without too much thinking, he shouted at the communication gadget, "There is something unusual. All people retreat now."
Like a miserable dog, he didn't have time to care about others at all but fled away first.
Rumble!
The dark python got angrier at the fact that Li Chengqian had not been slain by it with one hit but had escaped.
Instantly, around the pool, the mountain rocks broke down and the trees were uprooted and thrown up in the air. The mountain was also shattered. The torrential rain mixed with the ashes became a debris flow, crazily flowing toward the lower place.
"Ah, help!"
"Help me, please! I don't want to die."
How poor the members of the Tiangang team were! They were elites, but who could run faster than the speed of sound?
Many strong people in the early period of the Awakening Stage or even in the interim of the Awakening Stage were directly swallowed by the debris flow before they could make any reaction.
Some even were fed to the dark python, as its dessert.
For a moment, there was in ruins around the Gloomy Dragon Pool, as horrible as hell.
...
However, it was evident that Li Ping'an didn't know what had happened in Gloomy Dragon Pool.
He and Lin Jianjia fled the whole night, avoiding many horrible danger. Finally, at 9 a.m., with his hand holding around her slim waist, Li Ping'an reached the peripheral areas in the Taihang Mountain and directly headed for HD City, their destination.
However, it was not proper for them dressing like this to directly get to the central areas of HD City.
If someone found that they were unusual, it would be bad.
One should know that there were many people secretly dispatched by powerful groups to supervise everything in the area around the Taihang Mountain.
Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia were nimbler than ordinary people. In addition, it rained heavily now. On this bad rainy day, even if it was time for working, there were few people in the street.
Li Ping'an placed his hand around the waist of Lin Jianjia. They slipped into a rich man's villa in the suburb of HD City to get some clothes and an umbrella.
They gingerly changed clothes. After that, in the heavy rain, they, like lovers, found an ordinary hotel nearby, checking in with the information card of Li Daniu.
Although it was just a three-star hotel, as it was newly built, its condition was not bad.
After respectively taking a shower, they changed comfortable pajamas and then sat on the sofa next to the French window, looking at the heavy rain outside the window and turning around to smile at each other.
After a bath, Lin Jianjia didn't dry her hair yet, so it was wet. The tempting fragrance was deeply inhaled by Li Ping'an.
He, being fully attracted, couldn't help fixing his eyes at her.
"Puff."
Lin Jianjia couldn't help laughing with her cold expression replaced by a bright and charming one. With a shy smile on her blushing face, she said in a soft voice, "Daniu, what are you staring at?"
"Hee hee."
Li Ping'an came back to himself and gave Lin Jianjia a thumbs-up sign. He sincerely praised her, "Jianjia, you are really my goddess. How beautiful you are! I am willing to spend my whole lifetime appreciating your beauty. As a gentleman, I will sleep on the sofa and you should sleep on the bed."
Lin Jianjia wore a bigger smile, "You are not bad. Take a rest. The meal I have ordered will arrive soon."
However, after Lin Jianjia just finished her words, Li Ping'an fell onto the sofa and fell asleep.
For the past several days, he was exhausted. His mind and muscles had reached the limit.
Before Lin Jianjia made fun of Li Ping'an, he had fallen into sleep. When she looked at him, the smile on her face became sweeter and warmer.
After carefully tucking a quilt around Li Ping'an, she phoned the restaurant to cancel the meal. Later, she lied on the bed.
She didn't want to think much now. She only wanted to sleep for the whole three days and nights.
...
Li Ping'an didn't know how long he had fallen asleep.
When he woke up, it stopped raining outside. There were rays of sunlight in the dim day.
Not far from him was a big bed, on which a familiar charming woman wore a comfortable sports shirt and short pants, scrolling the communication gadget in her hand and played the brand-new laptop.
The curves of her white long legs were attractive.
Beside her, there were some bottles of three-star and four-star Nutrition Drop on the tea table.
"Blimey, Jianjia, how long did I sleep?"
Li Ping'an anxiously asked Lin Jianjia, wearily stretching out his arms and legs.
He was a little tired now but clearly found that even without the help of the Nutrition Drop and the odd melon, he could also be further strengthened by his own practice in the Taihang mountain battle.
However, he was so hungry that he even could swallow ten oxen, so he didn't want to test his ability.
Seeing that Li Ping'an had woken up, Lin Jianjia was delighted and said in a soft voice, "Daniu, you have slept for the whole three days and nights. I have prepared some Nutrition Drop for you. HD City is small, so I can only get these. Wait a minute. I'm going to order a meal for you."
When Li Ping'an saw Lin Jianjia ordering a meal for him, he directly gulped down the Nutrition Drop on the table.
Then his stomach gradually recovered.
Luckily, the room service in the hotel was available, so the meals ordered by Lin Jianjia were sent into the room soon. There were dozens of dishes.
Li Ping'an grinned and didn't hesitate to gobble and scrape all the dishes quickly.
He was full and felt better then.
Lin Jianjia watched Li Ping'an eating and couldn't help laughing with her hand covering her mouth.
When Li Ping'an finished the meal, she passed a cup of warm fragrant tea to him, "Daniu, are you a hungry ox? Why not slow down? No one takes it from you."
Li Ping'an drank out the cup of tea and felt pretty comfortable. He said with a smile, "Jianjia, it's very kind of you. What if I cannot live without you?"
"Piss off."
Lin Jianjia went scarlet, "I will fall in love with an ox rather than you. You had better stop thinking about this."
As she said these words, she secretly observed Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an was speechless.
He pretended to be a fool, but he was not foolish.
Judging from the expressions and the moves of Lin Jianjia, he knew that she had been attracted by him.
But he loved Luohan.
How could he have affairs with Lin Jianjia when he loved Luohan?
However, it all happened. Li Ping'an couldn't explain it to Lin Jianjia, so he feigned a disappointed expression and said, "Blimey, my goddess, please look at my eyes. I'm honest to you, most ardently."
"Daniu, off you go. A filthy mouth cannot utter decent language."
Lin Jianjia said disgusting words, but her eyes were filled with happiness, which was hard to hide.
She was like an orchid blossoming in the secretive room, only presenting her fragrance to the boy she admired.
Li Ping'an dared not to take another look at her, because he feared that he would love her. Therefore, he changed a topic, "Oh, Jianjia, is there any news from the Taihang Mountain recently? What happened in Gloomy Dragon Pool then?"
When Li Ping'an mentioned this, Lin Jianjia frowned and looked at him, "Daniu, I have received a piece of news just now that some powerful groups, such as Dongyue Energy Group, Fairy Island Creature, Xiangyun Gene, and MAD Group will hold a multilateral conference in Nanzhili City in several hours."
"When I got the news, I carefully surveyed the movements of the Wan Family in Baishui City. I found that two and a half days ago, Wan Shanhe didn't appear in his house. However, earlier, someone even saw Li Chengqian, the captain of the Tiangang team, has been cured in the hospital in Nanzhili City."
As Lin Jianjia said this, she was a little nervous, "Daniu, in other words, the person of the Wan Family whose power is beyond the Awakening Stage, is likely to have taken actions recently."
