In the darkness of the night.
The lamp wick was about to burn out, making the entire cave appear gloomy and terrifying.
Xia Xi had no more essential oil left; they could only hold on , waiting for Gong Chenli to come to their rescue.
She hugged her knees with both hands, shrinking into a ball out of fear, as if oil was smeared under her buttocks, constantly scooting over to Gu Tong.
Gu Tong noticed her movement but kept her eyes down, saying, "What are you doing!"
"I’m afraid of the dark..."
Xia Xi slipped like oil under her feet, lunging over and clinging to Gu Tong’s arm, refusing to let go, saying, "Xue Tongtong... you know... I’m a scaredy-cat..."
"..." This damned fellow!!!
Gu Tong’s mouth twitched...
Gu Tong opened her eyes, her dark pupils landing on Xia Xi, pinching her voice, said, "Xia Xixi, you also know... I have a big temper!!!"
"..." Ugh... don’t use such a coy tone to say such fierce words...
Stealing her lines, she wants royalties! Hey!
Xia Xi kept complaining in her heart but had no intention of loosening her grip.
In the past, when they were with the Mafia, this was how they got by, Xue Tong always unwilling, but never pushing her away...
Suddenly, Xia Xi’s body tilted, feeling the force in her palm pushing toward her shoulder, stunned, she instinctively said, "What are you..."
"Move!" Gu Tong shouted harshly.
The sound of a dagger hitting something.
The cave’s lamp wick was rattled out, leaving only complete darkness.
Xia Xi supported herself on the ground with one hand, hurriedly turning to look in Gu Tong’s original direction.
Everything was shrouded in darkness, but she saw a pair of blue, reflective eyes! Those eyes were bigger than marbles and somewhat terrifying...
"Ghost..." she was scared out of her wits...
If possible, Gu Tong would have already kicked her away now, struggling to support the dagger, resisting the opposite attack by feel, saying, "It’s a lion!"
The cave they were in belonged to a remote mountain, so it was normal for fierce beasts to appear...
Xia Xi’s heart tightened, deciding quickly, pulling out a laser aiming at the lion and firing one!
’Bang―――’ a blank shot!
Bad, she was out of electromagnetic waves...
Earlier, Xia Xi had been resisting the enemy, using up quite a bit of electromagnetic waves, but she didn’t notice she had none left.
They still had Gu Tong’s weapon!
However, she was now fully resisting the lion and couldn’t stretch out a hand to grab the weapon, and the lion was right before them, Xia Xi couldn’t approach...
They did have quite a bit of experience dealing with beasts.
But never had they fought in total darkness where they couldn’t detect the lion’s movements at all.
Nevertheless... For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
The lion didn’t need to worry about that. A lion was a nocturnal animal by nature, hunting at night was its inherent order!
"You run first, don’t worry about me..."
At critical moments , it’s when true sisterhood is tested!
Gu Tong had already made the most rational judgment.
She could still hold on for now, buy more time for Xia Xi to escape, one of them had to be preserved!
"How can I..." Xia Xi’s eyes turned red, refusing to abandon Gu Tong at this critical moment.
