Chapter 170: Go and come back
After confirming that the three men had gone far away, Xi Yu let go of Fang Yiqing and stood up, pulling him up as well.
Fang Yiqing's face was deathly pale, clearly still recovering from the shock he had just experienced.
"They've already gone far away, don't worry," Xi Yu said softly, her voice waking Fang Yiqing.
Fang Yiqing stared wide-eyed, grabbed her shoulders, and whispered, "They...they actually created a mutant!!" Have they completely ignored the warnings and lessons of human history?!
“Yes, it’s absolutely true. But you’d better not mention this to Zilu and the others, and you can’t tell anyone. We’ll figure out a way to tell the instructor when we get back,” Xi Yu said calmly.
Xi Yu's calmness made Fang Yiqing feel ashamed. He was clearly older than her, but he was not as composed as her. He had only escaped a disaster because of her timely rescue.
Although they hadn't actually fought, the three people from before were clearly not on the same level as the trainees. If they were discovered, they might be silenced, and even Ruan Zilu and the others in the camp wouldn't escape.
Fang Yiqing took a deep breath: "I understand."
"You go back to the camp first to protect Zilu and the others. I'll be right back." Xi Yu's eyes locked onto a direction, the direction in which the mutated monkey had just left.
"Wait! What do you want to do?" Fang Yiqing grabbed her shoulder again and asked.
"Our story alone is unlikely to convince anyone. I'll go get some evidence." Xi Yu's slight sway of her shoulder caused his hand to slip involuntarily. Ignoring Fang Yiqing's attempts to stop her, she dashed off in that direction, not forgetting to turn back and warn, "Don't follow me!"
Fang Yiqing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Xi Yu's figure disappeared. He sighed and decided to return to the camp, otherwise Ruan Zilu alone could not protect the Luo siblings.
After discovering that the mutant had the ability to think, Xi Yu made up her mind that it could not be allowed to live.
It would be extremely dangerous to let such a terrible threat go unchecked.
The monkey mutant has only just mutated, so its abilities are definitely not strong yet. Now is the best time to kill it!
Xi Yu tracked down the mutated creature and quickly found it. At that moment, it was hanging its head and sucking the brain core of another mutated creature. As it ate, its movement became more and more agile, unlike when it was sluggish after the mutation.
It can even grow by consuming other mutant species!
Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, Xi Yu became even more determined to eliminate the mutated creature completely. In an instant, she drew her long sword and struck the mutated creature's brain from behind.
The mutant quickly dodged and counterattacked, but it was still a bit slow. Xi Yu spotted an opening, stabbed her longsword into its abdomen, and then slashed upwards, splitting the mutant in two! The main core in its brain was also pulled out at the same time and caught steadily with her longsword.
The mutant that lost its core instantly turned into a pile of rotting, putrid flesh.
Xi Yu looked at the blood-red main core on the blade. This main core seemed to have a life of its own, and it was still wriggling on its own, which was extremely disgusting.
She tore off half of her sleeve, wrapped the core tightly, and stuffed it into her pocket.
After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, cleaned up her footprints, and returned to the camp.
Ruan Zilu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fang Yiqing had returned safely, because Fang Yiqing refused to say a word and wouldn't let them leave to look for her, which had really worried them!
