Chapter 1411: I Only Want You (109)
They would stop to take a quick break to snack on so food and drink so water every now and then throughout the journey. Fat Lass remarked, “Sis Jing Chu, I’m confident that I can definitely lose weight successfully this ti and have a figure like yours.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting to see your results.”
....
It was almost evening by the ti they reached the start of the river.
The water began flowing from the mountains. Jing Chu deduced, “The nacing beasts must be living in the mountains. Let’s take a break here tonight. My legs are almost breaking after a long day of walking...”
“Sis Jing Chu, look... look there...” Fat Lass spluttered, staring at a certain spot in utter shock and terror.
Jing Chu looked at the spot that she was staring at, only to discover that there were nurous pairs of eyes staring at them.
The pairs of eyes belonged to a bunch of bizarre-looking creatures. The duo could not tell what the creatures were at all. However, they were all identical and were massive in size. Not to ntion, they looked rather ferocious and nacing as well.
Jing Chu had never seen such creatures before. Frightened beyond words, her legs began to turn into jelly. However, she managed to keep her cool, unlike Fat Lass. After getting a grip on her emotions, Jing Chu frantically whipped out her guns and handed one to Fat Lass.
“Fat Lass... can you climb trees?”
“Yes.”
“Climb up the tree first. I’ll pass you the suitcases before climbing up later. Hurry, stop waiting around.”
“Sis Jing Chu, you go first.”
“No, you first.” She then whipped out a rope and tied it around the handle of the luggage. Without delay, Fat Lass hurriedly climbed up the tree.
Since she was dressed in thin clothing, it was inevitable for her to suffer abrasions on her legs. By the ti Fat Lass had struggled to make her way up the tree, the friction had already ripped the skin off her flesh, causing her to feel a stinging pain in her legs.
Jing Chu flung the other end of the rope up toward the tree. After multiple attempts, Fat Lass finally grasped onto it while straddling a thick branch on the tree. She then pulled the suitcase up with all her might.
After Fat Lass pulled the suitcase up the tree, Jing Chu suddenly discovered that the unknown creatures had begun approaching them.
Instead of leaping toward them, the creatures were advancing slowly and quietly.
Jing Chu tried to climb up the tree but failed to do so even after several attempts because her legs were much weaker than she had imagined.
Pangs of panic engulfed her, and she struggled to climb up with all her might.
She felt much more relieved after making it onto the tree.
She grabbed onto the tree branch tightly and looked down.
The large creatures were crowding below the tree.
Jing Chu remained silent because she had yet to hear the noises made by the creatures.
All of a sudden, one of the creatures began charging toward the tree that Fat Lass was on, as if it had lost its temper.
Fat Lass was consud by terror, and she began quivering trendously before falling off the tree.
Jing Chu felt as if her heart was about to stop beating. Staring at the creature that was leaping toward Fat Lass, Jing Chu plunged from the tree and landed straight onto the creature.
At this mont, she finally heard the creatures conversing with each other. She tried to communicate with them in their language, “Why are you guys attacking us when we’re harmless?”
The pack of beasts began retreating.
Jing Chu took the chance to help the injured Fat Lass up. She then stared at the beasts, which started giving off danger signals. She then said, “We had no choice but to trespass. Please let us off.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the creatures turned around and began running away.
They were extrely quick, and the massive number of beasts soon vanished out of sight.
Noticing that Fat Lass had begun bleeding from her forehead, Jing Chu frantically pulled the suitcases down and retrieved the first-aid kit. She helped Fat Lass clean her wound with so disinfectant liquid and cotton swabs before bandaging her head with so dressing. She then packed up.
“Sis... Jing Chu, I was scared soulless just now. What were you saying to those animals? I didn’t understand what you said at all,” Fat Lass murmured while clutching her chest and struggling to breathe. She was as pale as a sheet, clearly frightened out of her wits.
“I was speaking to them in their language. I pleaded with them to let us off.”
“Sis Jing Chu, you can communicate with animals?”
“Yes, I can.”
“How did you develop that skill? Did you inherit it from your parents?” Fat Lass asked in astonishnt.
“No idea. I’ve never t my parents before anyway. The sky is about to turn dark. We must find a thick and sturdy tree to spend the night on,” Jing Chu said while scanning her surroundings.
“Sis Jing Chu, how about that one?” Fat Lass asked, pointing at a tall and sturdy tree that had a thick bark.
“We’ll climb onto that, then.” Jing Chu and Fat Lass moved the suitcases over before taking out their food rations and so tissue. Just as they were about to move the suitcases up the tree, the beasts returned.
Fat Lass began quaking in fear, the shock robbing her of her speech.
She had turned into jelly and could not make it up the tree even with Jing Chu’s help.
The beasts ran toward them and stopped when they were at a distance away. One of the female beasts said to Jing Chu, “We won’t hurt you guys. Our leader would like to invite you over to our place.”
Gripping the gun in her hand tightly, Jing Chu decided to trust them.
She then dragged the suitcases and followed the beasts together with Fat Lass. Jing Chu asked, “What breed do you all belong to? I’ve never seen such massive creatures like you.”
She did not describe them as nacing, for fear that she might provoke them.
“Marsupial lions.”
Although Jing Chu did not know what exactly they were, she knew that they were definitely carnivorous, especially since they looked nacing.
“Why does your leader want us to go over?”
“Because you can communicate with us. We need humans like you.”
Jing Chu felt a huge sense of relief after hearing her words. She asked, “Are you guys the only animals here in this forest?”
The beasts began to guffaw.
Jing Chu could not help but get the chills.
Her palms began to get sweaty, and her heart palpitated vigorously to the extent that she felt as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
“Although that’s what we hope for, it’s unfortunately not the case. There are lots of animals in this forest. So are of the sa build as us while others are smaller.”
Fat Lass’s legs were aching beyond words. She was filled with pain from head to toe, especially after the great fall that she had just had. Hence, she was walking at a snail’s pace.
Jing Chu did not wish to walk either, for she was already dead beat after a long day of walking.
“How much further do we have to go?”
“Not too far. Shall we get one of us to carry you there?”
Jing Chu frantically declined, “No need for that, we can walk on our own.”
Even if the beasts were willing to carry them, they did not have the guts to ride on their backs.
