Chapter 1422 - 1423: Fierce Battle 10
"Who is using who?"
With a icy cold gaze, Shen Tiancheng stared at Mu Tiantian, speaking as if squeezing the words through gritted teeth.
"Mu Tiantian, even if you keep a wolf pup by your side for so long, you’ll develop some feelings. You... it’s really surprising that you are still an ungrateful wretch!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
She couldn’t comprehend Shen Tiancheng’s logic at all; didn’t he find his words ridiculous?
Mu Tiantian just glanced at Shen Tiancheng and said nothing, continuing to walk forward.
Seeing her stay silent, Shen Tiancheng angrily kicked the tree trunk beside him.
A hundred-year-old tree, and his kick really did nothing, not even causing the branches to tremble.
The two had managed to coexist peacefully before, but this conversation broke down their relations, leading to almost zero communication as they continued forward.
Perhaps because two teams had passed ahead, the wild beasts feared gunfire, allowing their journey to remain unusually safe.
A week later, night had fallen, and the forest was so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face.
The two found a cave to rest, when Mu Tiantian suddenly heard a loud crash.
Then, it seemed like the entire valley was trembling. Shen Tiancheng suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the cave and running as fast as possible.
Following that loud crash, continuous blasts echoed one after another.
Being dragged along by Shen Tiancheng, Mu Tiantian quickly looked up towards the source of the crash, but could see nothing through the dense forest that blocked out the sky.
Soon after, a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Glancing back, she saw the cave they had just been in had been flattened, even the small hill wasn’t high anymore and was still shaking, with trees and rocks rolling down like it was an earthquake.
Mu Tiantian’s heart nearly stopped beating.
Finally pulled to a safe place by Shen Tiancheng, Mu Tiantian still looked dazed.
Taking a hurried glance at Mu Tiantian’s pale face, Shen Tiancheng rapidly looked towards the direction of the explosions.
Seeing the explosions still ongoing, Shen Tiancheng’s expression turned incredibly dark.
"Damn!"
Cursing, Shen Tiancheng grabbed Mu Tiantian’s hand again, running as fast as he could.
When she saw the towering spine of Qi Mountain shake and tremble, Mu Tiantian suddenly came back to her senses.
The mountain was going to collapse!
"Run fast!"
Shen Tiancheng’s cold, angry voice resonated in her ears, and Mu Tiantian gritted her teeth, running as fast as she could.
Just hoping to go faster, even faster.
Each explosion sounded like a death knell from hell, echoing bit by bit into Mu Tiantian’s ears.
Panic-stricken, unsure of where to run, as they were less than 500 meters from the foot of the mountain.
The entire spine of Qi Mountain, under the barrage of explosions, shook and began slowly collapsing.
The stout, high towering primal trees, in this collapse, lost their former unyielding strength, with some even being uprooted due to the mountain’s breakdown.
The cold wind whistled past her ears, her face burning; she wasn’t sure if it was from the cold or something else. At this moment, Mu Tiantian felt like a machine that only knew how to run.
Hoping her pace could go even faster, faster.
