Chapter 1317: What a Team
"Are you serious?" Lin Xi sounded worried, but Gu Fan assumed a fearless demeanor and replied, "Can’t help it, we have to face it eventually."
"Okay, then be careful." Lin Xi immediately withdrew the Protective Barrier, and then the giant spider eagerly pounced inside.
Gu Fan was dumbfounded, "My dear lady, could you give a heads-up before dropping the Protective Barrier? Oh my heavens..."
The giant spider charged in and with one kick sent Gu Fan flying a great distance, landing in an embarrassingly rough manner.
"I’m sorry, I was so worried about your safety that I forgot about that." Lin Xi flew over, and seeing that Gu Fan wasn’t seriously harmed, she comforted him, "Don’t worry, because of my oversight, I’ll take full responsibility and make sure you’re restored."
"Thanks for being so considerate, but I ask that you please try not to make such mistakes again." Gu Fan really didn’t want to endure another blow like that; he was absolutely dazed by the impact.
Just then, the giant spider charged again, and to make matters worse, a giant mantis joined in, effectively pinching him from both sides.
In the nick of time, Gu Fan pushed Lin Xi away, choosing to face the monsters alone. He exerted all his energy to activate the Vajra Body Protection and then turned to confront the giant mantis.
The giant mantis, naturally not considering the tiny Gu Fan a threat, brought its sharp scythes slashing down furiously into the ground.
Gu Fan, watching the trajectory of the descending scythe, narrowly avoided it at the critical moment. The blade cut a slit through his clothes, but it didn’t reach his skin.
As the giant mantis tried to pull its scythe from the ground, Gu Fan grabbed onto the blade with both arms, pulling it down forcefully, enduring the sharp edge with his Vajra Body Protection without any hesitation.
