Chapter 117: The Mutated Heart Devourer (2/2)

“Yes, it can. However, he has been wary of me ever since I had severely injured him. On top of that, he has countless acceleration-based abilities. His speed is too fast for me. I can't even catch up to him...” Xing grumbled and looked straight at Bai Xiaofei. “Why? Have you thought of a way to deal with him?”

Rather than replying, Bai Xiaofei sank deep into contemplation. “I do have an idea. But whether it will work will depend on how well the two of you understand him.”

Flashing a smile, Bai Xiaofei returned to his old self.

…

Meanwhile, the Savage Class students had just regrouped at the Starnet Academy. They were currently in chaos, each of them akin to a cat on a hot tin roof. They had no idea what to do.

“It’s Big Sister Xue! She’s back!” Mo Ka shouted, and everyone looked over.

Xue Ying’s return put all of their minds at ease. They surrounded her excitedly, and everyone started speaking at the same time:

“Big Sister Xue, what’s going on? What’s up with that twin-headed python?”

“Yeah, that beast wasn’t easy to deal with, right?”

“…”

It wasn’t until Lin Li asked one question that everyone fell silent: “Where is Bai Xiaofei?”

Xue Ying looked at Lin Li then slowly lowered her head.

“What we encountered wasn’t a Goldsilver Twin-headed Python. Rather, it was a Lunapython and Ruindemon Flood Dragon in disguise. Bai Xiaofei is currently negotiating with them. I don't know the specifics…”

The more she talked, the lower her voice became. Everyone in the Savage Class blanked out when they heard her.

Negotiating… Negotiating with magical beasts? No matter how we look at it, this just doesn’t seem possible...

“Lin Li, where are you going?” Xue Ying yelled as she pulled Lin Li back. Lin Li was about to dash towards the Infinite Mountain Range.

“Since you don’t dare to go save him, I will.”

It was the first time Lin Li behaved so coldly towards Xue Ying. She was also the first person in the Savage class to act this way towards Xue Ying.

“You think I’m here because I’m afraid of death? Do you not know me? Or do you not know what Bai Xiaofei is like?”

Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this. Even Lin Li stopped struggling so much. No further explanation was required. If Xue Ying had intended to flee by herself, she wouldn’t have returned so late. The injuries she had sustained to previously protect them was already proof of her character. After thinking about it carefully, everyone was able to roughly guess what had happened.

If they had to pick one person who was the most prone to over-exerting himself among the Savage Class students, it would be Bai Xiaofei. Last time when Xue Ying was severely injured, Bai Xiaofei didn't eat for two days straight.

Some things did not happen for no reason.

“Then what should I do? I don’t want him to die!” Tears started flowing uncontrollably from Lin Li’s eyes as she threw herself into Xue Ying’s arms. A mournful atmosphere lingered in the air.

“I will go look for the principal. He is our only hope!” Xue Ying said with a resolute glint in her eyes.

Thank you for risking death for my sake. Now, it is my turn to repay you!
