Chapter 1192 - 1238: Survival in a Dangerous Place
Chapter 1192: Chapter 1238: Survival in a Dangerous PlaceOn Earth today, there are still many unexplored places, many things that humans do not yet know about. The Amazon, this primitive forest, is already limited in human knowledge. Thus, in such a special and hidden underground space within the Amazon Jungle, the appearance of some special creatures is nothing out of the ordinary.
Shanshan still doesn’t know what that creature is, how big it is, or whether it’s incredibly ferocious. But judging from the sound of its footsteps, it’s definitely a large creature, clearly bigger than a cow, possibly even weighing up to a ton.
Even on land, facing such a creature, Shanshan would avoid it at all costs, let alone in such an underground place. However, at this moment, Shanshan dared not move rashly, for she did not yet know the terrain here. If there were other dangers or if she accidentally entered an even more perilous place, it would be difficult to cope.
Shanshan held her breath, standing still, hoping the creature would not detect her.
But she soon realized this was futile. The monster was still heading straight for her location, and the sound of its footsteps was becoming urgent. In the darkness of the underground, vision was utterly useless. The monster could determine her position, perhaps through smell or some other means.
Shanshan possessed Innate Vital Energy and her hearing was extremely sharp. She could judge the distance of the object by sound, but when compared with a creature that had possibly lived underground for generations, Shanshan was evidently at a disadvantage.
Knowing she could not hide, Shanshan immediately raised her Micro Assault Rifle to her chest. Trusting in her judgment of the sound, she quickly pulled the trigger, firing two bursts at the creature. Although she had collected quite a few bullets, Shanshan didn’t dare waste them. She fired her weapon not to kill the creature but to scare it away.
The flash from the gun’s barrel momentarily lit up, and in the quiet space, the gunfire sounded even louder. The creature on the other side let out a pained whimper, then the footsteps became frantic and chaotic, obviously in the opposite direction—meaning Shanshan’s shots had scared the creature away.
This allowed Shanshan to breathe a sigh of relief. Scaring it away was far more energy-efficient than killing it.
The creature’s footsteps grew fainter and were finally followed by a loud splash, presumably the monster jumping into the water. This suggested that there was a river in the cave, and the creature lived in that river.
But the danger here was imminent, and Shanshan knew she could not stay long. She had to find a way to leave this accursed place.
Shanshan took out her flashlight and began
All four creatures groaned and ran off, but Xu Shanshan was secretly alarmed because the beasts fled quickly without any signs of being disabled. This meant that despite being shot, the bullets only caused them pain and did not inflict fatal damage.
Then, Xu Shanshan was constantly struggling against those bugs and beasts. She had no idea how many bugs she killed, but not a single one of the monsters was slain; their assaults grew fiercer, ignoring her gunfire altogether. If not for Xu Shanshan’s agility, which made them fail to catch her multiple times, she would have been captured and skinned alive by now.
Even so, it was an incredibly draining battle. Xu Shanshan had hardly any chance to rest, not knowing for how long she had been fighting these monsters and bugs.
Finally, Xu Shanshan had a moment’s respite. She immediately started eating to restore her energy. Thinking of her current plight, she couldn’t help but think of Li Yifei. If Yifei were here, there would surely be a way out. Her brother-in-law was omnipotent; he could solve any problem, no matter the danger.
And as soon as she thought of Li Yifei, Xu Shanshan suddenly remembered a way to send out a signal for help. Despite her exhaustion, she needed to do it. She hoped that Xu Yingying wouldn’t get distracted by irrelevant things, and also hoped that Yingying wouldn’t keep this situation from Yifei.
However, not long after, she sensed something and immediately shouted in excitement, because she knew that her brother-in-law must be aware she was asking for help. As long as Li Yifei knew, she was certain to be rescued. Her brother-in-law was omnipotent, no difficulty could stand in his way.
Thinking that it wouldn’t be long before Li Yifei came to rescue her, Xu Shanshan was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. No matter what, she had to hold on until Yifei came. For her brother-in-law, she couldn’t die so soon.
