"Run!"
As Lin Sanjiu wrote that word, Rena realized the same thing. Out of the three of them, two of them were disabled and sick. The only one who could fight was Rena. Unfortunately, she had already used up all her Ripple Spheres.
As a Growth-type, Rena wasn't very strong. She had to take care of the people around her and fight against Zhu Mingchun, who was in perfect condition. She didn't even know the number on her body. It was obvious that her chances of winning were too low.
After making up her mind, Rena tightened her grip on her brother's arm and ran without even turning her head back.
"Do you really think you can escape?" A coarse laugh came from behind her. "This is fate. I can't believe the few of you actually got rid of Derik and the others … I can be the oriole!"
Zhu Mingchun was obviously so pleased with himself that he didn't know what to do. As he chased after Rena, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. His voice was so loud that Rena felt like a lamb being chased by a hunting dog.
Even though Rena wasn't slow, she was still carrying a person on her back and she wasn't wearing any shoes. Even though she was running with all her might, the distance between them and Zhu Mingchun was still shrinking.
If they continued running like this, it was only a matter of time before they caught up to them. Rena was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Just as she was hesitating whether she should stop and fight to the death, she felt the skull on her shoulder suddenly rise. It turned around and flew backwards.
"How is she going to fight him with that half-dead state of hers?"
Rena panicked. Before she could hesitate, she slammed on the brakes and put her brother on the ground. Then, she turned around and ran back.
When she heard the sound, she turned around. She was so angry that she almost fell to the ground.
She knew why she turned around. She wanted to buy some time for Rena and Rena to escape. As a higher consciousness entity, Lin Sanjiu could fly up into the sky if she couldn't hold on any longer. She didn't think that Zhu Mingchun would have any flying equipment to chase after her.
However, because she didn't say it out loud, Rena didn't expect that she would follow Zhu Mingchun like an idiot. She had foolishly followed him back and wasted a good opportunity. She hated that she didn't have a mouth!
"That's more like it," Zhu Mingchun lowered his head gloomily. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He was obviously different from his companion, Hannie. He did not like to play cat and mouse games. He lowered his body and charged forward without saying a word.
Zhu Mingchun was a melee fighter, and even his evolved ability was obviously more focused on physical combat.
Before he even got close to her, Lin Sanjiu could already see what was happening. Both of his arms were turning steel-grey at an unimaginable speed. They glowed faintly in the dim light of the night.
Zhu Mingchun's fist did not arrive. He had already stirred up a gust of wind in the air. Judging from his momentum, if Rena got hit by his punch, she would definitely be severely injured.
Lin Sanjiu gathered what little was left of her higher consciousness. Taking advantage of her small size, she swooped towards Zhu Mingchun's face. At the same time, Rena summoned her fly-whisk and swung it at Zhu Mingchun's leg.
Zhu Mingchun was attacked from both sides at the same time, but he did not panic at all. He nimbly twisted his body to avoid the fly-whisk, and his steel-like fist hooked upwards. It charged straight at Lin Sanjiu.
With the current strength of her higher consciousness form, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to face it head-on. When Lin Sanjiu gathered her higher consciousness, it could be touched. Hence, her higher consciousness immediately dissipated with a "bang" in the air. Zhu Mingchun's fist passed through her smoke-like higher consciousness. Before he could react, he suddenly leaped back a few meters. Rena's horsetail whisk had reached him again.
After exchanging a few blows, both parties distanced themselves from each other. Lin Sanjiu and Rena looked at each other. They couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Zhu Mingchun hadn't even taken out his weapon. The two of them had only exchanged a few punches and kicks, but they had already realized that they couldn't do anything to him — once he used something like a special item. Once he used something like a Special Item, the situation would be even worse.
Rena had already lost her chance to escape. No matter what, she could only fight this battle head-on. Just as this thought appeared in her mind, Lin Sanjiu saw Zhu Mingchun wave his right hand. He summoned a war flag.
The moment the dark red war flag unfurled in the air, it started fluttering even though there was no wind. Zhu Mingchun chuckled. Then, the bones in his body let out a series of cracking sounds. In a few seconds, his body had grown several feet taller. Once he grew to the size of a prehistoric beast, his aura changed immediately. It was filled with an oppressive sense of threat.
"Oh no!" Rena couldn't help crying out.
Zhu Mingchun looked around and his gaze fell on the girl. He suddenly let out a roar and moved like a mammoth. He swung his huge right fist at Rena with the force of half his body.
"You will die once first!" Zhu Mingchun's voice reverberated in the night sky, causing the remnants of the buildings to reverberate slightly.
Rena couldn't help letting out a scream. Zhu Mingchun's palm was almost as big as half her body. Since her leg was injured, she couldn't move as fast as she could. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help letting out a cry in her heart when she saw Zhu Mingchun's mountain-like black shadow looming over her. She dashed forward with all her might.
At that moment, a small yellowish-white shadow flew past her eyes and hit Zhu Mingchun's arm just as he was about to touch Rena.
"Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly as the shadow disappeared into thin air. Zhu Mingchun's punch, which was supposed to be a sure hit, suddenly made a turn and slid off Rena's body. Rena fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Brother! You're awake! " Rena, who had narrowly escaped death, rolled and crawled away. She looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Did you use an almanac?"
Reno was lying on the ground. The blood at the corner of his mouth was stained with the fresh blood he had vomited. His face was as pale as a duoluozhong's. He panted for a while before replying weakly, "Yes."
"From the looks of it, his injuries are far more serious than the shock to his internal organs..."
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Then, she heard Reno say intermittently, "It is advisable to move, it is advisable to hold a banquet, it is advisable to avoid fighting..."
"There is no almanac more suitable than this one!"
Even though Reno spoke softly, Zhu Mingchun heard him clearly. At first, he didn't believe it and tried to attack them a few times. However, he realized that his opponents were so slippery that he couldn't hit them no matter how hard he tried. On the contrary, when they attacked him, his body was heavy and lazy. In less than a minute, Rena had hit him with her horsetail whisk several times. The muscles on his legs were twitching like fried dough twists.
If he continued fighting like this, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.
The tables had turned. Zhu Mingchun reacted quickly. He pulled up the war flag and turned to run. His body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye as he ran. Finally, he returned to his original size. When Lin Sanjiu saw that Rena wanted to check on her brother's condition, she stopped her. Lin Sanjiu quickly wrote two words, "Catch him!"
Only then did Rena realize what was going on. She patted her head and chased after the smoky skull. With a few leaps, she swung her horsetail whisk at Zhu Mingchun's heel. Once he was involved in a fight, his movements would become as slow as an unevolved person. He didn't even struggle and fell to the ground under the force of the horsetail whisk.
"Tell me! What's with the numbers? "Rena stomped on his twisted right leg and shouted at him as he hissed in pain. (To be continued.)

Even though that's what the title says, I don't intend to tell you in this chapter... If I can't tease the reader, what's the fun in writing?
