Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation Chapter 9 - 8: Truly Being Targeted

The three of them never stopped moving, and half a day had passed as they walked.

As the sky began to darken, Ding Huan finally halted by a waterfall in the distance.

In Ding Huan's opinion, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape probably wouldn't be able to chase them here. The Great Wilderness Golden Ape was terrifying, but it was just a juvenile.

"I really can't walk anymore." Seeing Ding Huan stop, Liu Aii, who followed behind, gasped and then collapsed on the ground.

Qin Yi couldn't even speak; she, too, sat on the ground like Liu Aii.

At this mont, Qin Yi no longer possessed the aloof deanor Ding Huan had first seen; her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and shredded, and her face was covered in bloodstains.

While catching her breath, Liu Aii said, "We are quite lucky, not having encountered any other fierce beasts."

Ding Huan knew it wasn't purely luck; while leading the way, he had consciously avoided places where fierce beasts might appear.

"Let's rest here today; there's a cave behind the waterfall. Have so food later, and we can leave tomorrow."

After speaking, Ding Huan pulled out so beef jerky and biscuits from his backpack and handed them to the two won.

"Thank you, thank you..." Liu Aii, ravenous, quickly accepted and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you." After a half day of fleeing, Qin Yi had cald down.

After eating, they regained a bit of strength. Liu Aii asked, "I still don't know your na. If it wasn't for you this ti, Yi Yi and I would probably be dead."

"My na is Ding Huan, but why didn't you make a phone call for help when you were trapped?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, Qianluo Mountain stretched for miles and wasn't particularly perilous, so calling for help shouldn't have been too difficult.

Liu Aii shook her head, "Yi Yi's phone ran out of battery, and my family doesn't have much power, so the rescue calls were made by Joey.

I don't know why, since Joey made the calls, no one has co to rescue us yet."

"Joey probably never made that rescue call," Qin Yi whispered from the side.

"How could that be?" Liu Aii blurted out unconsciously.

She couldn't believe it; facing a life and death situation, how could one not make a rescue call?

But Ding Huan understood what Qin Yi ant. Qin Yi, a woman pursued by many, understood the mindsets of her pursuers.

Normally, Joey couldn't be with Qin Yi often. Seizing this rare opportunity, he naturally wanted to spend more ti with her.

So he either didn't make the call or delayed making the call.

Perhaps, in Joey's view, hiding in the cave was perfectly safe. As for calling for help, he could do that anyti.

Only, he hadn't expected Bai Chuanqiang to be torn apart by the giant ape, and in his panic, he fled deeper into the cave.

If the giant ape returned, Joey was more likely unlucky than not. Of course, he could also use the phone to call for help.

Qin Yi didn't respond to Liu Aii's words, instead turning to Ding Huan, "Do you also have the surna Ding? Are you related to the Baiyu Group…"

Before she finished, Ding Huan interjected indifferently, "I have no relation to the Baiyu Group."

The Baiyu Group was on the verge of collapsing and Ding Huan didn't want to get involved.

"Oh…" Qin Yi trailed off, not saying anything further.

"Brother Ding, did you enter Qianluo Mountain seeking so dicinal herbs?" Liu Aii asked.

She wasn't really asking about the dicinal herbs Ding Huan was searching for, but rather trying to understand more about him.

In her mind, if Ding Huan, alone, ca to Qianluo Mountain to look for dicinal herbs, he must not be wealthy.

If she could help Ding Huan, she thought, once they left Qianluo Mountain, she might find a way to assist him.

"I've already found them; they were just so simple herbs. Let's rest early today and leave Qianluo Mountain tomorrow morning," Ding Huan answered casually.

He was not interested in talking more with the two won. Once out, his first priority was to complete the gene spiritual root.

As for why Ding Baishan had disappeared after going to the Qin Family, asking Qin Yi was pointless; he might as well investigate the Qin Family himself in the future.

This was the first night out of the cave, and Ding Huan was still sowhat worried.

He knew the Great Wilderness Golden Ape was vengeful. If it didn't find them in the cave, it might chase after them.

Luckily, the three of them were fortunate as the night passed without the giant ape pursuing them.

As dawn barely broke the next day, the trio hurriedly continued on their way.

For Qin Yi and Liu Aii, spending another day in Qianluo Mountain ant facing an additional day of danger.

For Ding Huan, another day in Qianluo Mountain ant wasting another day of cultivation ti.

Liu Aii and Qin Yi had only spent a little over a day with Ding Huan, but they already keenly felt the difference.

Before, when the four of them were together, the first two days were fine, but afterwards, it often beca a cycle of one al full, the next al hungry.

Even when it ca to food, they managed only simple things like small fish or wild vegetables.

Now, even though they were rushing during the day with Ding Huan, co altis, Ding Huan could always accurately find a variety of delicacies: different kinds of mountain fish, wild fruits, and so wild ga.

These were nothing, however. What most astonished Liu Aii and Qin Yi was that Ding Huan always found a safe place to stay when darkness fell.

It was either in a cave or sheltered by huge rocks.

"Ding Huan, how co you're so familiar with Qianluo Mountain? Do you co here often?" On the third day, Liu Aii couldn't help but ask.

Ding Huan chuckled, "Yes, I frequently hike in the mountains, so I'm quite familiar with this area. You would be too, after spending enough ti in the mountains."

Ding Huan was bluffing—this was his first ti in Qianluo Mountain, even in his previous life, he had only wandered around the outskirts of the mountain.

This wasn't sothing that one could understand simply by spending ti in the mountains. Ding Huan's knowledge ca entirely from intuition and experience.

He could find food sources and the correct paths by observing the way trees grew, the moisture in flowing water and air, and even by the habits of various insects in the grass.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Liu Aii and Qin Yi didn't think too much about it; they had no experience themselves and felt that what Ding Huan said must be right.

They weren't deep in Qianluo Mountain, and with Ding Huan not interested in staying, he rushed them. Within two days, he had already gathered the dicinal herbs needed for the Wood Elent Gene Spiritual Root and decided to return and give them a try.

By noon on the third day, they finally walked out of Qianluo Mountain and saw the mountain path in the distance.

"We've made it out," Liu Aii exclaid excitedly.

"Folks, let's part ways here." Ding Huan had no inclination to continue with the two won.

"Ding Huan, thank you for this ti. If it wasn't for you, we probably wouldn't have made it out. How about we go back to Heluo City together and et up?" Liu Aii cald her emotions and sincerely said.

Ding Huan waved his hand dismissively, "Without , you would have made it out anyway, sooner or later. I have other matters to attend to and won't be joining you."

"Let's exchange contact info then?" Seeing Ding Huan was determined to leave, Liu Aii quickly said.

Ding Huan smiled, "We probably won't et again. Farewell."

It wasn't because Ding Huan didn't want to give his contact info; he simply didn't rember his own phone number.

Seeing that Ding Huan even avoided ntioning his association with Yujiang University, he chose not to chat further.

Watching Ding Huan's fading figure, Liu Aii sighed and said, "That Ding Huan really has so skills, much better than Joey and..."

She intended to ntion Bai Chuanqiang, but rembering his tragic end, she ultimately didn't speak his na.

Qin Yi, her voice husky, looked at the departing Ding Huan, "Let's hurry and find help. Joey is still in that cave."

Ding Huan had left for only about fifteen minutes when he heard the roaring noise of two helicopters flying overhead.

Probably Joey had called for help, presumably they were here to rescue. Ding Huan ignored this as he needed to hurry back to Heluo City.

···

A little after two in the afternoon, Ding Huan entered Heluo City.

Eager to produce the Spirit Root Gene Potion, he intended to get a cab to Yujiang University. Even if Yujiang University was about to close, the gene laboratory would definitely still be there.

But before reaching the gates of Yujiang University, Ding Huan cald down.

The reason he had left Yujiang University overnight was because soone was out to kill him—if they were still watching, wouldn't returning there be like walking into a trap?

Regardless, he had to return to Yujiang University if he wanted to create the Spirit Root Gene; it could only be done there.

With that in mind, Ding Huan casually bought so food, wrapped himself up well, and approached the rear wall of Yujiang University, planning to climb over to enter the school.

There was hardly anyone at Yujiang University now; the security guard could do little but sleep, and Ding Huan figured he could easily get into the school.

Indeed, just as Ding Huan had anticipated, he entered Yujiang University without much effort.

Ding Huan stood outside his own residence, knowing soone had been inside—the marks outside had been tampered with.

Clearly, soone was out to kill him, and their determination was strong; otherwise, they wouldn't have followed him to Yujiang University.

Without even setting his bag down, Ding Huan carried it straight to the gene laboratory; he had to try creating the Spirit Root Gene first.

Those people would never imagine not only had he entered Yujiang University, but he was even in Yujiang University's gene laboratory.

Without having found the Reincarnation Blood, he decided to first use his own blood as a substitute to test; if that didn't work, he would find another solution.
