Chapter 8, Laws of Survival
He has only one way to go, and that is down a dead end
The cultivator's face was pale
Oh?
The pupils of Jiang He contracted, and he suddenly took a step back. This guy is actually still alive?
The cultivator no longer has much strength to engage in a battle of wits and courage with Jiang He
Well
Disaster
Jiang He silently said to himself, this is not a laboratory, where one can conduct research without any caution; this is the wilderness, a brutal world filled with treachery. A moment of negligence could very well lead to death! However, at this moment, he could see clearly that this person was indeed seriously injured.
Who
If one has poor resilience, it is likely that they would have collapsed long ago
Regardless, Lu Hang is still very grateful
Is it really true
He thanked Lu Hang, for today’s greatest gain was not obtaining a shadow card, but rather understanding the principles of survival in the wilderness
The password is correct
Should ... ... be?
Indeed, inside the metal box, there is a small chip embedded, which is a password chip that will automatically destroy itself after two failed password attempts
Nonsense, why not run?
Alas, there are actually people who are even more unfortunate than I am
Thank you
The heart of the river stirs slightly
Now, he has completely understood
Are you serious
The river's footsteps came to a halt
Jiang He squinted his eyes and asked, "How to save?"
Hiss
The practitioner noticed the river's mouth loosening and immediately said excitedly, "Just take it out from my inner pocket, and you can inject it for me, and that will be sufficient"
Jiang He chuckled lightly, lifting the severely injured Lu Hang and heading towards the city district
He has encountered those who are ruthless and take action directly, as well as those who are overly cautious and keep their distance. However, it is truly rare to see someone like Jiang He, who directly takes advantage and then runs away.
The river turns and departs
As the gaze of the river flowed, it soon discovered a person lying not far away
Dead
The river turned and left
You save first
It is still somewhat careless
The question he asked was merely to validate the thoughts in his mind
What is inside
The river is very calm
Hehe, who are you trying to fool
The person was covered in blood, pinned down by the corpse of a mutated snake. The ground was marked with traces of the struggle and the contorted form of the mutated snake. Jiang He had a sudden realization and roughly guessed what had transpired. It was likely that this person had fought fiercely with the mutated snake, sustaining severe injuries and barely emerging victorious, only to be unexpectedly killed by a shockwave.
Do not give them any opportunities
The practitioner endured the pain with great fortitude
Jiang He opened the metal box
Sweat beads appeared on the forehead of the cultivator, who was already severely injured
Rivers flow without any psychological pressure
Jiang He revealed a faint smile on his face
The cultivator wished to move, attempted to shift their body slightly, yet was utterly unable to do so, only able to gaze longingly at the river.
Left
However, if there truly exists shadow techniques
He was frightened. After what happened with Chen Xiaoyan yesterday, he thought he had been cautious enough, yet he still felt it was insufficient! Just now, upon seeing the corpse of the mutated snake, he assumed that the person was already dead without considering anything else.
Aren't you using shadow techniques anymore
Jiang He thought seriously for a moment
What Lu Hang provided was precisely the standard answer in his heart
If it were yesterday, he would have undoubtedly chosen to save the person. However, having just been nearly killed by a disguised high school girl, Jiang He now harbors psychological trauma towards any practitioner that appears in the wild, not to mention that this is a strong individual who specializes in one-on-one battles against mutated snakes
This is truly an unforeseen disaster, but regardless of what happens, Jiang He does not dare to linger for long. In this wilderness, curiosity can indeed be fatal. Jiang He cautiously walked past a stretch of ruins, and suddenly froze; behind those ruins lay a gigantic mutated snake.
It is true
You are still alive
No matter how much money one has, or how precious shadow skills may be, once one is dead, nothing remains
I give you
This was the best option he could think of
Not good
And this is merely the outermost edge of the suburbs
From the initial psychological confrontation to the eventual helpless surrender, and finally to Jiang He’s intervention to save him, he has experienced countless reversals from heaven to hell.
Save me
Jiang He’s expression changed slightly, and only after taking another look did he calm down
I will think about it
The cultivator smiled wryly
Then I will withdraw, you can play.
half an hour
Click
Good and evil, at times, one cannot even grasp for oneself
The Army Aviation asked.
Jiang He has truly come to a stop this time. He did not dare to linger for long, fearing any unforeseen changes. After experiencing yesterday's events, Jiang He remains vigilant towards the unknown. Can this person be saved? Is he a good person? He is uncertain; if uncertain, then it is better to refuse!
Save me
In the distance, as far as the eye can see, there are ruins; the already desolate outskirts have now completely turned into a wasteland, with countless fierce beasts lying dead across the fields
Where is it
I... I will reward you
The practitioner stared at him blankly
I will withdraw first
Feigning death, and then suddenly striking when someone approaches
Then ... ...
The cultivator hurriedly spoke up, as he had gained a new understanding of Jiang He’s shamelessness; this fellow would definitely resort to using shadow techniques to make a quick escape.
Compensation
Lu Hang fell silent, pondering for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I don't know either"
The river's heart has been stirred
Jiang He cautiously passed by, and the belongings of that person were scattered all over the ground. There were some scattered gene reagents, the purpose of which was unclear, as well as some unknown functional parts. Jiang He did not dare to examine them one by one, but quickly wrapped them up, preparing to leave this place of conflict
Lu Hang gazed deeply at Jiang He
Jiang He was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. Looking at Lu Hang, he asked, "Let me ask you this: if I had directly used the gene healing agent to save you from the very beginning, what would you have done?"
The river turned and left
Study it further upon returning
That being said
The cultivator looked bewildered
Password required! Password required!
The river advised, "I am very sorry, one shadow card and one gene healing agent in exchange for your life, this is all I can do."
But, will you really save me
The river's expression is solemn
Shadow Technique
Friend
It's that simple
Jiang He felt a chill run through his body, his hand tightly gripping the dagger. Was there someone nearby? However, looking to the left and right, he found no one had appeared.
The box opened, revealing a golden card inside, which was indeed the card for storing shadow skills
Ding——
Forget it
Well
The river murmured softly, yet it still flowed onward.
The rivers can only smile bitterly
Where is the face
A somewhat hoarse voice emerged
Jiang He cautiously put away the Shadow Card and looked at the severely injured cultivator
The river struggled to rise, rubbing its somewhat sore shoulders, and upon looking back, it could not help but gasp in shock.
Thank you
Well
The river suddenly brightened before me, and I grasped it firmly
In the suburbs, the law of the jungle prevails; only the strong are qualified to be kind, for they are fearless! What if he directly saved Lu Hang? At that point, whether he lives or dies would depend on Lu Hang's mood. Human nature is greedy, and in such circumstances, even Lu Hang himself would not know what he would do.
Do not move
Jiang He only felt a wave crashing from behind, and in the next moment, he was blasted away. He was thrown several meters away before landing. Fortunately, the distance from the place of the explosion was indeed too far, and the shockwave only caused a momentary turbulence before it ceased, allowing Jiang He to regain his life.
You?
Well
Fulfill the promise
This is the true disaster
In the other side pocket
I have a gene healing reagent here
Jiang He suddenly looked over and discovered that the cultivator he thought had already died had actually opened his eyes, staring at him with a pale face
The river has come to a halt
You go first
Jiang He was drenched in cold sweat
Before the words had left the lips, the river had already flowed further away
This is ... ...
Jianghe aimed the communication device at the metal box and scanned it
Damn!
I
The river came over
Hehe
Luhang looked at Jianghe with some surprise
The river dragged the land aviation to the alert entrance of the city.
The river was astonishing; in the past, I reached out and touched it, retrieving a delicate metal box the size of a cigarette case. If nothing unexpected occurred, it contained the cards used to store shadow techniques.
The cultivator hurriedly spoke, fearing that the river would just run away like that
How can one be so shameless
A shadow technique
Card
The sound came from beside me
The cultivator whispered, clearly aware that for practitioners at the stage of Jianghe, the Shadow Technique was an irresistible reward, "Save me, and I will give it to you"
Without looking back at the river's head, "To save you, I estimate that you would turn around and eliminate me. I cannot defeat you again. As for shadow techniques, who would believe in such things?"
The practitioner really wanted to curse at him: "... ..."
At this moment, the cultivator named Lu Hang had already turned pale, nearly fainting, and did not even glance at Jiang He again, clearly having no expectations of him.
The cultivator clearly does not trust Jiang He
The river surprisingly uses an interrogative tone
In the future, it should go more smoothly, right
The cultivator let out a sigh; his remaining strength was already limited, and he had no energy to argue with the river. In such a situation, what else could be done? Everything depends on fate. The cultivator's face was ashen, "Password 28504, my name is Lu Hang."
Damn!
Mini password box is opening - Please enter the password - Friendly reminder: Entering the wrong password more than twice will activate self-destruct mode, please be cautious
Thank you
You save my life, and I will give you the password
The ambulance will arrive shortly, and the guard will take care of you
However, this choice by the Army Aviation is quite clever, as they carry a password box with them. This way, even if someone happens to pick up the Shadow Technique box, they would still need to wake it up to know the password, and who knows, they might end up being counter-killed. After all, not everyone is as shameless as Jiang He.
However, what if someone is in a state of apparent death
How could such a seasoned character possibly be a good person
What is going on here
What are you doing
I will think about it
The snake bears large scars, which do not appear to be caused by the shock waves. In fact, even the rivers were not killed by the shock, so the mutated snake is certainly unharmed
Next time, be sure to exercise caution
The cultivator's mouth is wide open, and they ran away again? What about their face!
Ding——
Received
The cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief. Was this young man actually here just to take away what belonged to him? How shameless could one be? Where is the basic trust between people? Although he knew that cultivators in the wild were often ruthless, such blatant shamelessness was indeed rare.
Before the practitioner could utter a single word, he was left in a state of bewilderment, for at that moment, the young man before him unexpectedly turned around and ran away, seemingly intending to withdraw just like that
As the river was about to vanish from sight, the cultivator could only muster a small amount of strength to exclaim, "I possess shadow techniques."
He opened his inner pocket and indeed found the gene healing reagent. Jiang He carefully took it out and then quietly stepped back a few paces
Boom
Goodbye
The river passed by cautiously
Brush
The river will move the massive body of the mutated snake
