Chapter 266 - 230: The Pursuing Mammoth
The hole was smashed open. They couldn’t expect Jiang Si to just shove the meat directly into their mouths.
Huang Lijuan stared at the three tempting hams and, for her daughter’s sake, was the first to charge into the hole.
A moment later, she emerged from the hole.
She was even carrying four high-quality hams.
The sight made everyone’s eyes turn red with envy.
Huang Lijuan even shouted excitedly, "There’s more inside! Lots more!"
She had just reached out casually and felt a whole row of hams.
They finally had meat to eat, enough to fill their stomachs.
The rest of the group hastily scrambled inside, each person dragging out several more high-quality hams.
They were afraid the opening would suddenly seal up, and they’d be left with nothing to eat again if they couldn’t get back in.
But their bodies were too weak. After one trip, they had neither the strength nor the will to go back for another.
Jiang Si was everyone’s great benefactor, so Huang Lijuan’s group gave her a small pot to cook a meal of ham for herself.
After all, given their current physical condition, it was better to eat hot, cooked food.
As Jiang Si ate the ham, she felt her energy returning.
The snow wolf gnawed on its ham as if it couldn’t get enough, so Jiang Si handed her own piece over to it.
Once she was full, she started to feel sleepy.
Or perhaps the illness was taking hold.
If Jiang Si fell asleep, her consciousness would likely leave Mei Na’s body.
But she couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep hugging the snow wolf.
Her consciousness returned to her own body. Kilton immediately rushed over to ask about his sister’s condition.
Jiang Si didn’t answer right away. Instead, she checked if the black hole teleportation was usable.
The black hole teleportation still wasn’t working. Jiang Si furrowed her brow before telling Kilton, "She has the flu. Her body is a bit weak."
Kilton’s face immediately filled with anxiety, but there was nothing Jiang Si could do.
Qin Shen was still driving them in the SUV. At their fastest, it would still take several days to get there.
And that was only if they didn’t run into any trouble along the way.
Speak of the devil.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently as Mammoths rapidly approached them.
Mammoths possessed immense impact force; even a Barrier Space would be useless against them.
If they were caught, a single stomp could crush them, SUV and all.
Qin Shen floored the accelerator, trying to shake off the Mammoths.
But no matter how they changed direction, they couldn’t evade the creatures. It was as if the Mammoths had been deliberately lured to attack them.
Just as the Mammoths were about to catch up, Jiang Si pulled a sniper rifle from her space and, at the same time, was surprised to find that the black hole teleportation seemed to be working again.
A delighted smile spread across Jiang Si’s face. With intense focus, she deployed the black hole portal in front of the SUV and set its destination to Mei Na’s location.
Qin Shen drove into the black hole portal without hesitation. However, one exceptionally fast Mammoth managed to charge into the black hole space right behind them.
Before Jiang Si and the others could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Mammoth sent them tumbling out.
Their vision went black, then brightened. They were all hanging upside down in the vehicle.
Qin Shen transformed into a massive White Tiger, immediately propped the crumpled SUV up, and pulled Jiang Si from the vehicle with his teeth.
Meanwhile, the Mammoth shot out of the black hole and nearly sent Jiang Linhai and Kilton, still in the car, sprawling.
Fortunately, Qin Shen reacted with lightning speed, ramming the nearly totaled SUV out of the way and narrowly avoiding disaster.
Huang Lijuan and her group were so stunned by the sudden appearance of the Mammoth, as well as Jiang Si and her companions, that they forgot to even run.
For people and an ancient creature to suddenly emerge from a black hole... it was like something from a wondrous sci-fi world, completely unbelievable.
The Mammoth stumbled out of the portal, tripped and fell flat on its back, landing in the snowy marsh. The shock seemed to clear its head.
It looked around anxiously but saw no sign of its herd, only a few unfamiliar creatures before it.
’Anything with fangs is dangerous.’
On pure instinct, it prepared to charge the snow wolf and Qin Shen.
Jiang Si quickly pulled a pile of grain from her space and scattered it in front of the Mammoth.
The Mammoth, which had never eaten corn, sorghum, or rice, stumbled upon the grain. Its trunk instinctively sucked some up and stuffed it into its mouth, and its expression immediately turned to one of childish delight.
’Oh my god, something this delicious actually exists in the world?!’
The Mammoth began eating the grain right where it stood, completely forgetting about Qin Shen and the snow wolf.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they saw the Mammoth inhaling the food like a vacuum and grew tense again.
’Will this be enough for it?’
