Chapter 1087 - 1085: Form Ranks, Take Up Arms, Face the Enemy!
Oh my god!
What on Earth are those kids?
How is it possible... for a child to kick someone and send them flying!
Seeing the children effortlessly kicking those people into the river, all the tourists were stunned. They had never imagined such a thing could happen and couldn’t understand how these kids could be so strong that they could kick adults several meters into the river. Such strength was incredibly exaggerated, how could there be such formidable children...
Brother Beard’s subordinates, who fell into the water, immediately endured their pain, swam to Brother Beard’s side, all of them battered and bruised, in an utterly sorry state. Seeing his henchmen like this, Brother Beard was fuming, his eyes seething with malevolence as he glanced at the boat housing Xia Lalan and the children, then turned around and led his men to swim towards the shore.
It wasn’t that far a distance, and for someone like Brother Beard, who was quite adept in water, this was hardly worth mentioning. Even with injuries, they quickly swam back to the shore. Ignoring his subordinates, Brother Beard immediately took out his waterproof phone and dialed a number.
After a few busy tones, the call connected, and Brother Beard roared into the phone: "******, all of you listen to Laozi, capture the woman and the children on the boat, grab them all! If they resist, shoot them dead! Damn it, daring to hit Laozi, they are asking for death! Wait until I get there and deal with them!"
After shouting, Brother Beard promptly hung up and, leading his limping men, headed towards the dock, intending to quickly catch up to Xia Lalan’s boat and settle the score with them on the other side...
After dealing with Brother Beard and his men, Xia Lalan was stunned, fretting as she watched the boat floating aimlessly in the river. She hadn’t thought too much about it and had kicked those bad guys into the river. Now she and the children didn’t know how to operate a boat in the Secular World; what should they do?
"Teacher Lanlan..."
"How are we going to get to the other side?"
"We... we don’t know how to operate a boat..."
...
At this moment, the children were also stunned as they realized the issue of no one knowing how to steer the boat. The boats in the Secular World were completely different from those in the Hidden World, with no sails or oars; they really didn’t know what to do...
Xia Lalan, becoming more anxious upon hearing the children’s words, but realizing that fretting wasn’t helpful, she reluctantly made a call to Lin Feng, hoping to ask him what to do.
"Lin Feng, we encountered some bad people. Now the boat is drifting in the river, and we’ve beaten those who operated it into the water. How can we get to the shore?" Xia Lalan’s tone was very anxious as the boat had been drifting quite a bit off course in the river water. If they didn’t quickly reach the opposite shore, she feared they might not be able to find Poma Town as Lin Feng had mentioned, which would be a huge problem.
"This is simple, there should be some planks or something on the boat. Just have the children paddle on the sides, with their strength, that’s more than enough." Lin Feng was initially curious why Xia Lalan was calling him again, but after hearing her out, he simply smiled and gave a very good suggestion. It would be impossible for others, but for those children, it would be easy to accomplish.
In fact, Lin Feng also thought about telling Xia Lalan how to operate the boat, but he didn’t do so. Xia Lalan was clueless about modern things. Instead of wasting time teaching her, it was faster for the children to paddle directly.
"Of course, why did I forget about that! Got it!" Excited by Lin Feng’s suggestion, Xia Lalan came to a sudden realization, happily said so and then hung up to immediately instruct the children to dismantle parts of the boat, to find some wooden planks or the like.
The main body of this boat was already made of wood, especially the deck and the small huts which were even more so. In the hands of Xia Lalan and the children, these normally sturdy structures were like paper, and soon they dismantled dozens of wooden planks, each child grabbing one!
Next, under Xia Lalan’s direction, the children divided into two groups, one group on each side of the vessel, and began paddling furiously, hoping to quickly reach the other side!
Their unintended performance was seen by the tourists on the shore, who were completely dumbfounded!
"Oh my god!"
"Are they even human?"
"They dismantled the boat with their bare hands; how... how is that possible!"
...
Tourists on the shore were pointing and discussing among themselves. To ordinary people like them, it was simply too unbelievable. They couldn’t imagine these children possessing such terrifying strength, dismantling a boat without any tools. This wasn’t humanly possible; they even doubted whether the children were from Earth!
"I ****ing can’t believe it, my boat..."
Brother Beard also witnessed the actions of the children, and for a moment felt like he was about to cough up blood. That boat was his livelihood, and now it had been dismantled by these kids. His heart ached so much that he immediately coordinated for his remaining men to start a boat and chase after Xia Lalan and the others, to take back the vessel!
But as much as they wished, they never expected that such an accident would occur!
The children on the nearby boat, after a brief period of coordination, had mastered rowing together and began to row with all their might. Rowing with all their might, the boat sped towards the opposite shore like a motorboat, incredibly even faster than a motorboat, leaving Brother Beard with no way to catch up!
How can this be possible!
A rowboat faster than a motorboat, who would believe that!
The strength of these children is too terrifying, and they’re still just a group of children!
...
Brother Beard and his men, who were on the boat, were so shocked at this sight that they were rendered speechless, they could only watch as the boat zoomed away towards the shore, powerless and doubting their own eyes. How else could they make sense of the inconceivable situation that befell them today?
Just like Brother Beard and his crew, tourists on the shore were also dumbfounded by the children’s rowing. They had thought that the rowing was a waste of strength and it would be impossible to get the boat to the other side. But now, in the hands of the children, the boat moved faster than a typical motorboat, leaving them to question how this could be possible. The strength of these children was so immense, exaggeratingly boundless. Rowing with planks yet faster than a motorboat, the world had truly gone mad...
Xia Lalan on the boat was far from relaxed, directing the children to row. The boat approached the shore quickly. As soon as they landed, Xia Lalan immediately led the children to leap off the boat, planning to rush to Poma Town with them. But just as they were about to leave, suddenly, more than thirty people burst out from the grass on the riverbank...
"It’s them, the ones the Boss described!"
"Charge, trash them, and take revenge for the Boss!"
"Daring to hit our Boss, this woman must be tired of living, capture her and present her to the Boss!"
...
These thirty-plus individuals were Brother Beard’s men by the shore, usually involved in smuggling activities. Each had a shady background, far from being good people. Upon seeing Xia Lalan and the children, they immediately started shouting and charged towards them.
They thought that with so many of them, they would definitely take down Xia Lalan and the children. They were skilled fighters, armed with weapons, even two guns. If they couldn’t handle Xia Lalan and these children, they might as well feed the fish!
The atmosphere became tense. Xia Lalan had not expected to encounter such trouble upon landing. Her eyebrows furrowed and she immediately commanded coldly, "Form up, grab your weapons, prepare for battle!"
With terse and clear language, Xia Lalan could feel the strength of her opponents was substantial; a swift and decisive outcome required serious engagement. After speaking, she dashed forward like a gust of wind, charging at them with unimaginable speed.
At Xia Lalan’s command, the children quickly drew their short swords from their backs. Each charged like a little tiger. They were mere Mortals from the Secular World, easy prey for them!
How is this possible!
So...
They still dare to charge?
...
The thirty-plus men, who had been confident in their victory, suddenly saw Xia Lalan leading the children to charge them, and the children brandishing their formidable short swords, which left them dumbstruck. They had never seen such recklessness before!
But no matter what, Brother Beard’s orders had to be carried out—they could not believe that with so many of them, they couldn’t defeat a group of children... But what happened next became an unforgettable nightmare for them!
In an instant, both sides clashed. Xia Lalan burst into the crowd like a whirlwind, and wails of agony erupted!
"Ah..."
"Bang! My hand..."
"Ah... Bang!"
...
Brother Beard’s men were being kicked into the air, knocked unconscious, and in some cases, their weapons were mysteriously gone in an instant. Even more fatally, as they engaged with the children, their metal pipes and machetes were sliced as easily as chopping carrots by the children’s short swords!
Facing this scenario, the men were terrified, trembling all over, their hearts practically pounding out of their chests, blood pressure spiking, and their minds filled with fear towards Xia Lalan and the children. They cursed their luck, wondering how they could run into such formidable adversaries—this was a death sentence!
With that thought, they no longer dared stay, turning around and fleeing for their lives, planning to run as fast as they could. Xia Lalan and the children were too powerful, not just thirty but even three hundred would not suffice!
But Xia Lalan and the children wouldn’t let them get away that easily, chasing after them quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were about to catch up, throwing the men into complete panic. One of them, Li San, realizing the severity of the situation, suddenly pulled out a handgun and fired a shot at Xia Lalan!
