"Who the hell would believe he went out to jump rope? Who would go out to jump rope at this time?" Cheng Yu's assistant whispered from the side.
Cheng Yu asked blankly, "What? Has he ever skipped rope before?"
If it were anyone else who said this to Ren Xiaosu, Cheng Yu would definitely not believe it. Going out to jump rope at a time of life and death? How could that be possible!
But for some reason, when the person who used this excuse was Ren Xiaosu, Cheng Yu felt he could not completely deny it. That was because Ren Xiaosu was indeed prone to acting up regardless of the situation.
However, Cheng Yu's attention was not on Ren Xiaosu right now. He wanted to know who White Mask was protecting in the group!
Cheng Yu had witnessed White Mask's combat strength with his own eyes. Therefore, when it came to a real crisis, he would follow the person being protected. This way, he could bask in their glory and be protected by White Mask together with them.
It was not that Cheng Yu was a good-for-nothing. As a member of the Anjing House, he was always thinking about how to seek protection from others. The main reason was that his combat strength was not strong to begin with, and the Sacred Mountains were too dangerous.
While everyone was rescuing the injured in the cocoons, Luo Lan, Ren Xiaosu, and the others hid in the white fog and muttered, "Why did we save them?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "If we start losing people so early, I'll have to go in myself if the people at the back don't want to go into the Sacred Mountains."
Actually, Ren Xiaosu knew Luo Lan and Zhou Qi wanted the people from the consortiums to die. Otherwise, Zhou Qi would not have stood by and watched the entire time.
As a matter of fact, Zhou Qi's superpower was water-based. Although the white fog looked strange, it was still water vapor at the end of the day. It could be said that Mt. Shenchi was Zhou Qi's home turf.
In addition, Zhou Qi was also one of the first superhumans to awaken, so his physical fitness and mental strength were top-notch. It would not be a problem for him to deal with some tarantulas.
Ren Xiaosu even felt that Zhou Qi already knew the enemies were a group of tarantulas based on his perception of the water vapor and white fog. However, he did not do anything earlier.
Ren Xiaosu could understand this as well. To Luo Lan, all the other consortiums were his enemies. Just now, he could have helped the Kyung Clan weaken their enemies by doing nothing. Why not?
It was just that Ren Xiaosu wanted to enter the Sacred Mountain to save Yan Liuyuan, so he had to cherish every bit of strength here.
"Got it." Luo Lan nodded and asked softly, "That White Mask is your friend?"
Ren Xiaosu thought about it and said, "Yes."
He didn't explain the details, but there was no need to hide certain things from Luo Lan. Only then did Luo Lan feel relieved. "You said you couldn't protect me, I thought …"
Ren Xiaosu was surprised. "When did I say that?"
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment. "That day, I gave you a hand signal …"
"Didn't you ask me to go to the toilet?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. "Is there any other meaning?"
Luo Lan: "???"
At this moment, someone shouted from the white fog, "They're awake, they're awake!"
Ren Xiaosu took the lead and walked towards the voice. Everyone was gathered around the cocoons, and someone had already cut them open. The people inside had their eyes open, but they were still unable to speak or move. Only their eyes were still moving back and forth.
In any case, they were already very lucky to be able to survive.
Ren Xiaosu looked around and silently memorized the people who did not look disheveled at all. There were more than 60 people in the group, but seven of them looked completely fine. These seven people were likely supernatural beings, and one of them was Wang Yun, who had secretly marked them.
Of course, it was also possible that they had not been attacked by the tarantulas.
"Why can't they move?" Cheng Yu's assistant asked.
Ren Xiaosu stepped forward. "Maybe it's because I haven't put on a performance yet. Step back a little, I'll perform a split for all of you."
Everyone was shocked. 'You're really making use of every opportunity to put on a performance!'
Cheng Yu chose to ignore Ren Xiaosu and said to everyone, "Everyone, take turns carrying the injured who can't move yet. We can't stay on Mt. Shenchi for too long, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."
However, Luo Lan stopped him. "Wait, I suggest we set up camp here and set up our defenses."
"Why?" Cheng Yu asked with a frown.
"First of all, you definitely won't be able to get out of Mt. Shenchi in a day or two." Luo Lan looked at Big Bluff. "You'll have to listen to the guide on this matter. Ask him how long it'll be before we can leave this place."
"Even if we go at full speed, it'll still take more than two days," Big Bluff said.
"So instead of making everyone take turns carrying more than a dozen injured people and wearing out the others' stamina in the end, why don't you set up camp here and wait for them to recover? You don't know what's waiting for you ahead, so you have to be in your best condition to face the danger."
Luo Lan might not know about other things, but he was good at guiding his team in making decisions during a crisis.
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What if those spiders come again?"
"Since White Mask was able to rescue them from their lair, it means that the spiders' lair is probably done for." Luo Lan analyzed, "So we don't have to worry about the spiders anymore."
Luo Lan made this decision based on his understanding of Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu had also gone out for a while earlier, so he definitely did not believe Ren Xiaosu had gone to jump rope. But seeing how calm and composed he was, at least the spiders were definitely not a threat.
Cheng Yu looked at the others. "What do you guys think?"
"I support setting up camp here. I also think that since White Mask managed to rescue them, those spiders are definitely done for," Song Qiao said.
And most importantly, Song Qiao's assistant was still paralyzed. That meant he had lost a lot of assistants, so he was not willing to move forward at all.
Many of the people present had the same thoughts as Song Qiao.
"I'd like to ask you a question." Cheng Yu looked at everyone. "Which one of you is White Mask protecting? Can you let him join our team so that we can advance and retreat together? If he's alone in the wilderness, it'll be a little troublesome if he gets ambushed while he's sleeping. After he joins the team, everyone can take care of each other. "
However, no one responded to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu carefully scrutinized everyone's expressions as he tried to find out who was being protected by White Mask. When his gaze swept over Ren Xiaosu, he immediately looked away. He subconsciously felt that White Mask would not protect a lunatic even if he wanted to.
At this moment, Cheng Yu felt that Wang Yun and the other middle-aged man were the most suspicious. The two of them looked like they had nothing to fear.
After the chaos, the two of them were the calmest.
When Cheng Yu saw no one responding to him, he shouted at the white fog, "I know you're nearby. Since our target is the Pyro Company, why don't we team up?"
