Chapter 701 - Reorganizing on site (1/2)

“Who would believe that he went to jump rope? As if anyone would do that at a time like this!” Cheng Yu’s assistant whispered at the side.

Cheng Yu asked in a daze, “What? Has he ever considered the timing when it comes to jumping rope?”

Regarding Ren Xiaosu’s excuses, if it were anyone else saying it, Cheng Yu would definitely not believe them. To go and jump rope during a life and death situation, how could that even be possible?!

But for some reason, when it was Ren Xiaosu who used this excuse, Cheng Yu felt he could not completely write it off. That was because Ren Xiaosu was really prone to acting up whatever the situation might be.

But right now, Cheng Yu did not want to give any attention to Ren Xiaosu. He wanted to know more about who in the group White Mask was trying to protect!

Cheng Yu had personally witnessed the combat strength of White Mask before. Therefore, now that they were caught up in a real crisis, he would have to tag along with the person protected by White Mask. That way, he could benefit from the protection the other party was getting.

It was not that Cheng Yu was weak and useless. As a member of the Anjing House, he was constantly thinking about how to seek protection from others mainly because he was not strong in combat to begin with. Moreover, the Sacred Mountains was a really dangerous place.

While everyone was rescuing the wounded in the cocoons, Luo Lan, Ren Xiaosu, and the others hid in the white fog and muttered to each other softly, “Why are we saving them?”

Ren Xiaosu gave him a look. “If we start losing people this early in the expedition and the rest become unwilling to enter the Sacred Mountains, I’ll end up having to go in there by myself.”

Actually, Ren Xiaosu knew Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were hoping to send these people from the consortiums to their deaths. Why else would Zhou Qi just stand by and watch as the attack happened?

As a matter of fact, Zhou Qi was a superhuman with water powers. Although the white fog felt eerie, it was just water vapor. It could be said that Mt. Shenchi was Zhou Qi’s home turf.

Moreover, Zhou Qi was one of the earliest superhumans to awaken his powers. With top-notch physical fitness and mental strength, it would not have been difficult for him to deal with some tarantulas.

Ren Xiaosu even believed that Zhou Qi could sense the attacker was a group of spiders through the fog with his power. However, he did not do anything about it.

Ren Xiaosu could understand this. To Luo Lan, the other organizations were all his enemies. As long as he stood by and did nothing, he would have helped the Qing Consortium weaken their enemies, so why wouldn’t he do that?

However, Ren Xiaosu was going into the Sacred Mountains to save Yan Liuyuan, so he had to cherish every bit of help he could get.

“Got it.” Luo Lan nodded. He asked again softly, “Is White Mask your friend?”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and grunted, “Mhm.”

He did not go into detail, but there was no need to hide some things from Luo Lan. Only at this moment did Luo Lan finally feel a little at ease. “Previously, when you said you weren’t able to protect me, I thought…”

Ren Xiaosu said in surprise, “When did I say that?”

Luo Lan was stunned. “When I gestured to you that day…”

“Weren’t you asking me to take a leak with you?” Ren Xiaosu asked puzzledly, “Could you have meant something else?”

Luo Lan was confused.

At this moment, someone shouted in the white fog, “They’re awake, they’re awake!”

Ren Xiaosu led the way and walked towards the voice. Everyone was around the cocoons, and someone had already cut all of them open. The people in the cocoons had opened their eyes, but they were still unable to speak or move. It was only their eyes that were moving.

Whatever else happened, it was very fortunate they managed to survive the attack.
