Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 442 - 433: Forced to Keep Running

He couldn’t even see spatially, could he? Then all the stuff inside, and all that’s in the mall, if taken out, could easily turn the tides in her favor.

In that case, would he think she has many trump cards?

Even in the most desperate situation, he wouldn’t make a move.

So why is she keeping him around?

There’s not a single benefit, she handles all the troubles herself, what’s the use of having him?

Sigh!

For the sake of his looks, she’ll endure for now.

When the day comes that she stands powerful, overlooking the world from the icy peak, she won’t let it slide.

In just a moment of thought, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of many things.

Truly, it’s entangled and tumultuous.

Blood and roars intermingling, clashing weapons ringing unceasingly.

Anger, heroism, decisiveness, an unyielding slaughter.

At the end of life, a furious resistance, even if spilling the last drop of blood, she must drag the enemy down with them.

Everyone’s determination to face death is particularly strong.

Agitated monkeys advancing, lurking crocodiles across the river.

The situation is precarious, she can only reveal part of her hand now.

The Thunder Bombs in their hands are limited in power, but the Earth Bombs she has were later specially made by Cheng Sicheng.

The explosion effect is more widespread and comes with poison.

Cheng Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes slightly, forming a plan in her mind.

She pretended to pull out a few black lumps from the bundle, calm and composed.

Shouting loudly to the crowd, "I still have some Thunder Bombs here, all team leaders look over at me."

She knows, aside from the leaders, each team has sub-leaders too.

Seeing someone looking over, she threw out the Earth Bombs in her hand.

"Catch."

More and more people looked in her direction, and she distributed the bombs while explaining, "These Thunder Bombs emit poisonous gas, later everyone throw them together, only aim at the monkeys in the forest, don’t throw them towards the crocodiles, to avoid provoking them to attack ferociously.

Remember, after the Thunder Bombs explode, everyone hold your breath for at least 30 counts, after the monkeys are hit, throw their bodies to the crocodiles."

Upon hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s plan, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, brilliant!

Using the poisonous monkey corpses to feed the crocodiles, this way both sides get poisoned, greatly reducing their pressure, perhaps offering a sliver of hope for escape.

Everyone showed the joy of hope amidst despair, seeing a glimmer of survival.

Everyone’s emotions were surging beneath the surface, but it didn’t show on their faces.

"3, 2, 1, throw."

Cheng Xiaoxiao ordered without hesitation, throwing into the group of monkeys.

Explosions rang out one after another.

Colorful dust and debris rose into the sky.

Under immense force, the booming shook the ears, the trees and monkeys at the explosion center were torn apart, screams echoed continuously.

The crocodile bosses, just across the riverbank, were shocked, feeling dazed.

After pausing for a dozen breaths, they found the subtle threat had vanished, and quickly lunged toward the enticing food.

The sky full of dust and smoke hindered the monkeys’ further attack.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had everyone hold their breath, yet it didn’t hinder their actions.

After the aftermath, everyone jumped into the smoke, lifting monkey corpses and throwing them to the crocodile group behind.

The crocodile bosses, seeing food being offered, opened their mighty jaws, clamping down on the food.

The scene amid blood and gore was horrifying, bloody chunks flying in all directions.

A massive slaughter scene, making one’s scalp tingle, the pungent smell of blood triggering nausea.

Thankfully, the monkey corpses stood in front, otherwise, it would be the people being devoured.

Everyone felt a lingering fear.

Taking advantage of the explosion’s aftermath and the crocodile bosses being preoccupied with food, everyone swiftly regrouped and rushed to break through in one direction along the riverbank.

After a bout of slaughter, more were injured, the lightly wounded turning into the severely injured, most of the squad were the remaining wounded, even Yuan He and Yuan Yi were hurt.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take on the rear guard.

Everyone could see, although Cheng Xiaoxiao was young, she had many ideas, always carrying potential life-saving items, ready to pull people from the brink, greatly increasing their trust in her.

Unyielding monkeys, fleeting human lives, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt exhausted both mentally and physically.

Wang Dao brought in a newly formed group to assist Cheng Xiaoxiao on the flank.

The monkeys at the forefront had all fallen, the ones coming in after found the prey had escaped.

The leading crocodile realized that the food had lost its appeal, feeling dizzy, with a sensation of leads in the head.

The subsequent crocodiles also smelled the distasteful scent in the food.

And the once delicious food, its flavor fading away, seemed to be escaping.

A familiar scent that alarmed them further.

Finally, a crocodile discovered their young eggs at the base had disappeared.

The burnt eggshells remained, leaving a peculiar smell.

The crocodiles went mad.

Who looted their territory?

Why have their young disappeared?

Could it be these monkeys, or that group of two-legged sheep, regardless of who, they cannot let them go.

The crocodiles collectively let out low hoarse growls, becoming restless, the crimson blood gradually filling their eyes.

Hundreds of crocodiles glaring in unison.

Some surrounded the monkeys, some quickly chased that faint scent.

Crocodiles lowered their heads, growling, forcefully driving off, using their hard heads to slam into tree trunks.

Attempting to shake down the cunning monkeys.

They had slain all the monkeys on the ground, the remaining ones hiding in the trees, leaping between the woods, not daring to descend.

Meanwhile, the crocodiles pursued, weighing their massive bodies, the short legs surprisingly agile.

Their eyes a blood red.

Seemingly intending to kill everyone.

As the distance closed, with their current speed, they’d soon catch up.

Though Cheng Xiaoxiao had many secrecy means, she felt a bit unnerved.

These crocodiles weren’t easy to handle; her previous potent poison knocked out many monkeys, yet could only dizzy and confuse the crocodiles, not a direct kill, not even a short stupor, just delayed movements.

Leaving Cheng Xiaoxiao feeling overwhelmed, how else to handle them?

The external scales were incredibly hard, rendering ranged attacks ineffective.

Internal poisoning had been tried, unable to dismantle.

To reach the vulnerable belly, one must withstand the threat of their large jaws.

Robust traps could restrict their movement, but there wasn’t time to set them up.

The best method would be finding a depression, connecting it to a strong current.

Sadly, without Qiqi’s guidance, she didn’t know where any depressions could be found.

Fire attack was even more impractical, definitely ineffective against these crocodiles.

Upon rejecting numerous plans.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s brain seemed caught in a certain inextricable loop.

"Little Brother Xiao, hurry and retreat."

Wang Dao saw Cheng Xiaoxiao standing there, motionless, growing anxious.

"I just feel something’s not right with those crocodiles."
