Chapter 46 The Sprite of the Night

Boom!

Rumbling!

That was the sound of a terrible blast of thunder. It seemed to tear the sky and the earth and blow through one's eardrum.

Chug!

Not far away, on a peak, there was a huge rock with a height of dozens of meters, exploding and splitting instantly. The torrential rain, accompanied by broken stones, in the blink of an eye, formed a small wave of debris flow, roaring and rolling down the mountain.

"Li Daniu, it's much worse than we thought. We must leave here as soon as possible!"

Lin Jianjia said to Li Ping'an with a low voice as she gravely looked at the terrible debris flow.

Li Ping'an slowly nodded with his eyebrows tightly wrinkling, but then he shook his head, saying, "The weather is so bad. I'm afraid it's not easy to leave here."

How smart Lin Jianjia was!

She instantly understood what Li Ping'an meant. Then she whispered to him with increasing graveness on her beautiful face, "In such weather, I'm afraid even fierce beasts don't dare to come out because there is almost no safe place left in the mountains. Li Daniu, we must never be trapped by such a passive state. Instead, we must take active measures. Otherwise, we are easy to fall into a bad situation, and..."

Although Lin Jianjia didn't finish her words, couldn't Li Ping'an know her meaning?

The situation was barely under control. However, if they continued to hesitate, there would be few choices left for them once the situation became uncontrollable.

As Li Ping'an was good at surveying the terrain, he scanned the surroundings immediately with his eyes as sharp as that of hawks.

Suddenly, he became excited, pointing at a lower peak not far away and saying, "Captain Lin, that peak is flatter. We can take shelter there for a while before we make a decision!"

"Ok."

Lin Jianjia had also noticed the peak. She made eye contact with Li Ping'an, and then they dashed down.

Although Lin Jianjia was nimble, she could only manage to run down mountains. When it came to shallow places at the foot of mountains, she might not handle the case, because the water there was running as rapidly as muddy great rivers, leaving few stones and wood emerge from it.

Li Ping'an, however, would not pretend to behave like a gentleman. He, like an agile ape, held her slim waist, quickly escaping from the dangerous places with some rustling jumps. Then they came to the foot of the peak.

They took a look at each other. Then Lin Jianjia waved her fist before Li Ping'an. Later, she firstly climbed up the peak with her waist twisting around flexibly.

Like a man in a trance, Li Ping'an looked at her almost perfect figure.

"It is the power that counts!"

"Without power and promising potential, how could a beauty like Lin Jianjia be willing to cooperate with me and have told me so many secrets?"

"If I were only a mundane poor guy, let alone cooperate with her and even touch her hands, I would have no chance to see her and say a word with her!"

"Power is indeed the best weapon! The ancients haven't deceived me!"

"Sure, if I hadn't taken a fancy to her gift of great carefulness, I would have saved her out at most. How could I have wanted to cooperate with her?"

Looking at the delicate shape of her buttock, Li Ping'an clenched his fists.

In an instant, he abruptly stepped the ground with his feet and chased after Lin Jianjia as fast as a running cheetah.

The peak was much flatter without so many stones around, which was a relatively safer place.

Although Li Ping'an had wasted some time at the foot of the peak, he was even a little earlier than Lin Jianjia when they both arrived at the summit.

That made Lin Jianjia a little speechless.

She wondered that since he was the same age as her and looked even ordinary, why such an i***t who was as stupid as an ox could be so powerful.

On earth, why?

As that wasn't her business, she didn't have reasons to inquire him though she was so curious about that.

When reaching the destination, they smiled at each other, both breathing heavily.

After having a short rest, Lin Jianjia took out her kettle, slightly opened her red lips, and carefully had a few drinks. Instantly, her cheeks flushed red. Then she looked at Li Ping'an again and said, "Here you are."

"Ah..."

Li Ping'an came to find that his baggage had fallen into the valley of Scarp Swallow and all daily necessities had been lost.

Lin Jianjia became a little shy. Looking at her, Li Ping'an absolutely knew how much courage she had used to make such a decision.

But Li Ping'an didn't hesitate. He took the kettle and glugged with his mouth exactly on where the red lips had stained.

As he had already been thirsty, he was in urgent need of water to replenish energy and balance metabolism.

"Thank you."

After drinking water, Li Ping'an heavily nodded at Lin Jianjia as he gave the kettle to her. Then he carefully watched the surroundings without saying a word.

Lin Jianjia felt relieved and took the kettle with a gentle arc around the corners of her mouth.

No wonder Li Ping'an had once said that two of them had similar experiences. She knew better his meaning.

Although it hadn't been long since they met each other, they already had a tacit understanding.

Later, Lin Jianjia looked at the dark sky, saying with a low voice, "I'm afraid that we can't go farther tonight. We'd better stay here for one night so that we can get some energy back. I'm confident that tomorrow we can go out as planned."

As Li Ping'an was thinking about other things, he didn't hear what Lin Jianjia had said. After a while, he came to himself. Then he smiled with some embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Lin. I was distracted and didn't clearly hear your words. What did you say?"

"..."

Lin Jianjia immediately gave an angry glimpse at Li Ping'an, thinking that he was indeed like a stupid ox. Without other choices, she had to tell him what she had said.

With a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, Li Ping'an looked at Lin Jianjia and said, "Captain Lin, I, I have a bold idea. Are you Ok now? Do you still have energy?"

"What?"

Lin Jianjia was suddenly dumbfounded, but she seemed to have gotten what he meant. Then she looked at him in terror.

Li Ping'an slightly smiled and said, "Captain Lin, don't look at me like that. It's quite simple. The process of great variation may be violent, so even those fierce beasts don't dare to go out. It is such an occasion that is easy to breed new odd melons!"

"If we had wanted to get those melons, it would have been as difficult as climbing up to the heavens! But now, we have a great chance!"

Li Ping'an smiled with a slight of honest and absolute firm which was undoubted.

"..."

Lin Jianjia finally understood why this silly man, although being the same age as her, could be so powerful.

He was an absolute bold guy!

But Lin Jianjia seemed to have been persuaded by Li Ping'an.

If they had had the ability to find those melons, it would have been slim chances to get them, and even great disasters might have struck.

But it was such a great chance for them!

Lin Jianjia thought that Li Ping'an, such a stupid ox, would not make the decision if he didn't have enough confidence! Furthermore, she felt that his power seemed to be inexhaustible.

Later, Lin Jianjia said with a low voice, "Li Daniu, actually, I know some places that may hide odd melons. But the nearest one is at least dozens of kilometers away from here. Are you sure we can find them successfully?"

Li Ping'an couldn't help becoming excited. He slightly smiled and said, "Captain Lin, you must remember that a man can never say no under any circumstances! Do you have a map so we can determine the coordinate? We must immediately set off!"

Lin Jianjia flushed again, staring at him ferociously. Frankly speaking, the times that she flushed in these years were almost not as many as today's.

But soon, Lin Jianjia controlled her emotion, being not willing to quarrel with him. Then she carefully took out the map.

...

At night, the torrential rain was poured down with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

Even those fierce beasts all huddled in their nests without daring to breathe heavily and enrage the heavens.

Whoosh!

But in the depths of the night, a shapely young man, like a cheetah that was about to take off, holding a slender girl, was the sprite that the god granted to the night, nimbly jumped among the mountains.

"Li Daniu, the ahead is the territory of the red gold lynx. You must be careful. The lynx is extremely keen, and its speed may have reached more than 110 km/h. If you are not sure that you can succeed, you'd better not flaunt your superiority. Safety comes first!"

At the edge of a steep cliff, Lin Jianjia whispered to Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an heavily nodded and gave her an "Ok" sign, and then jumped forward nimbly.

Li Ping'an thought that he should attribute such nimbleness to the practice in Lanhai No.1 High School.

He was well-balanced, especially with the powerful waist and abdomen.

Having escaped from the attack of the mysterious rock, Li Ping'an was much more adept at mastering his own power, particularly after a range of jumping exercises tonight.

When it came to short-distance jumps of ten or twenty meters, he could leap nimbly just as fish swam in the water without making any sound.

The cliff here was extremely precipitous. As they were at the center of it, they could see the void beneath their feet and clearly hear the sound of torrential water quickly flowing past.

Soon, Li Ping'an reached a cave mouth. There, he indeed saw an odd small tree growing on the flatter ground.

That tree was much more thriving than the one in the depths of the valley of Scarp Swallow.

On the tree, there were two already matured light red melons, comfortably absorbing the energy from the torrential rain.

"Indeed, there were odd melons!"

Li Ping'an instantly got excited with a light of brightness in his eyes.

He could identify odd melons by himself easily after Lin Jianjia had told him the features of those melons.

"It seems that the two melons contain more energy than the green one protected by the silver giant salamander."

Li Ping'an squinted at the two melons without doing furthermore.

"The lynx is supposed to belong to felines."

"Oh, I really hate felines."

"The lynx is a natural predator. It has a keen perception and a strong body. If I want to get the two melons, I must fight a quick battle without being noticed by the lynx. If I were found by it unfortunately, I must retreat promptly."

Li Ping'an quickly thought it in his mind.

As for this kind of plan, he must win!

If he failed, although he could retreat unscathed, he would try in vain to get the two melons.

Therefore, he must think twice before taking action.

At the back of Li Ping'an, Lin Jianjia worriedly looked at him with her wide eyes in the distance, wearing ultra-clear night vision glasses.

She would have thought that the stupid ox would recklessly get the two melons as soon as seeing them. Seeing that he had stopped to think twice, she got relieved.

Whoosh!

But before she could entirely settle herself down, she saw the young man start to move.

Like a streak of black light flashing through the air, he suddenly stepped the ground with his feet, slightly bent his body, and then precisely caught the two melons with his two big hands.

Instantly, he, like a sharp sword, straightly dashed toward Lin Jianjia after he abruptly stepped the surface of the cliff with his feet.

Seeing that, Lin Jianjia almost let out a cry of astonishment with her eyes suddenly opening widely.

However, before she came to herself, the young man had already precisely held her slim waist and taken off again, quickly leaving the dangerous place.

"Roar!"

A few seconds later, a thunderous roar was then let out from the cave. However, the young man and the girl had already left.
