Seeing the movement of a human, the middle-aged man was overjoyed and shouted even more desperately in Su Ran’s direction, “Help me! I’m surrounded by Earth Fire Lizards!”
But when he saw Su Ran’s appearance, the breath he had just managed to muster up deflated.
A gorgeous little dress, and shapely thighs clad in white stockings, as well as small, black leather round-toed shoes wrapping the white silk.
He didn’t seem to have much hope for Su Ran’s strength.
A cute little girl like this, if she were a student from Beizhou Academy, it might be a different story.
She might have the power of a Sequence Two.
Obviously, this middle-aged man wasn’t present at the entrance and hadn’t seen the Bronze Hunter badge Su Ran had taken out.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had this thought.
“Don’t come over! Hurry up and get the habitat staff to save me, or call someone else! My name is Guo Zixiang. Just give them my name, and they’ll know who I am.”
Seeing Su Ran about to move forward, the middle-aged man, or rather, Guo Zixiang, quickly stopped her from coming closer.
“If you have any potions to restore magic essence, you can throw some to me. These Earth Fire Lizards are just surrounding me and not letting me go. I won’t be in any trouble for a while. I can definitely hold on until you get back.”
Guo Zixiang still held a sliver of hope for the appearing girl.
If she really had any magic essence recovery potions, he could hold on for a little longer.
Su Ran’s answer to Guo Zixiang’s words was a shake of her head.
She herself had come lightly equipped.
Where would she get any magic essence recovery potions?
Even though she had a flawed Soul Vessel like the Ring of Pride, Su Ran didn’t dare to hand it over to someone else.
Receiving the reply, Guo Zixiang’s eyes dimmed, and he could only wave his hand.
“Hurry up and help me inform the habitat staff. I can still make my magic essence last if I’m a little frugal.”
Just then, a slight rustling of trees came from Su Ran’s right, seeming to be the sound of someone passing by.
This made Guo Zixiang’s mood rise from hell to heaven.
One more person meant one more hope of being rescued.
With the strength of three people, even without the help of the habitat staff, they could break through the encirclement of the Earth Fire Lizards.
He couldn’t help but thank this third person for appearing before the girl left, giving him hope for a swift rescue.
The third person who had just rushed out of the bushes was quite familiar to Su Ran.
She had met him when she had just entered the habitat.
He was Liang Bo, the one who had been in line in front of her.
At this moment, blood was constantly dripping from his left elbow to the ground.
He was holding his entire left arm with his right hand to prevent it from hanging limply.
His clothes were tattered, and several obvious whip-like marks could be seen on the muscles of his chest.
It was clear that he had already fought with the Earth Fire Lizard leader.
Otherwise, a Bronze Hunter with the combat power of a Sequence Two would be able to walk sideways in this low-level habitat.
“Help! Let’s leave this place together!”
Seeing Liang Bo appear, Guo Zixiang quickly shouted at him, hoping to attract his attention.
Things developed as Guo Zixiang had hoped.
Liang Bo slowed his steps, but he approached Su Ran’s position and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I came here after hearing a cry for help.”
Seeing him approach her side, Su Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
‘Is there another option for why I’m here, like I have nothing better to do?’
“I encountered a Sequence Three Earth Fire Lizard.”
When he mentioned the Sequence Three magical beast, his face was still tense.
Liang Bo glanced at Guo Zixiang, who was still calling for help, and quickly said, “I only managed to shake it off temporarily. Let’s hurry up and save him, then leave this place. A newly born Sequence Three magical beast should naturally be dealt with by the habitat staff.”
Hearing from Liang Bo that a Sequence Three magical beast had been born, Guo Zixiang’s face turned pale.
Even the sound of his own voice became much quieter, as if he were afraid that too much noise would attract the magical beast’s attention.
“I have painkillers! As long as you get me out, we can leave quickly!”
Knowing that the other party had painkillers, Liang Bo was clearly quite moved.
Although his current problem couldn’t be solved by painkillers, being able to alleviate some of the pain would still be helpful to him.
Su Ran looked helplessly at the two patients, one big and one small, in front of her.
Why not save the person first and then chat?
“Let me do it. You should save your strength for leaving later.”
Seeing that the one-armed Liang Bo was about to drive away the Earth Fire Lizards that were standing around, Su Ran stepped forward to stop his intention to act.
Within her spiritual range, Su Ran had already found several footprints that were suspected to be from the Earth Fire Lizard leader.
If they waited for the injured Liang Bo to save the person, the three of them might be caught up by the Earth Fire Lizard.
Hearing this, Liang Bo stepped to the side, holding his arm.
He also wanted to see what level this Bronze Hunter was at.
Guo Zixiang, who was trapped, couldn’t say anything, only hoping that someone could save him.
There were about thirty or so Earth Fire Lizards surrounding Guo Zixiang, each possessing the power of a Sequence One.
According to Su Ran’s speculation, they probably hadn’t had time to meet up with the main group before being intercepted by Guo Zixiang.
Su Ran could only say that this person was a bit lucky.
If he had been intercepted after meeting up with the main group, then there would definitely be more than the thirty or so here.
A faint blue light flashed in her dark eyes.
Su Ran planned to make this quick.
All the magic essence recovered through the Ring of Pride was invested into this.
Su Ran took a step and stomped lightly.
Using the ripple of magic essence she had created as a cover, her witch ability was fully activated!
Puchi.
Where the Earth Fire Lizards stood, countless icicles shot up from the ground, piercing their magic crystals from all directions.
These Earth Fire Lizards that had been surrounding Guo Zixiang didn’t even have time to let out a single scream before they were pierced by Su Ran’s icicles.
The freed Guo Zixiang didn’t move from his spot, afraid that icicles would suddenly appear from the ground and hit him again.
Only after he had completely calmed down did he ask with a trembling voice, “W-What kind of magic is this? Why didn’t you say you were so powerful earlier?”
He probably wouldn’t forget this scene for a long time.
A situation he had considered a life-or-death crisis was so easily resolved by this seemingly cute young girl in front of him.
And he hadn’t detected any decrease in her magic essence, which meant that the young girl in front of him could use this kind of magic with ease.
If the magical beasts were replaced by people, could one person fight thirty?
Guo Zixiang found it a bit hard to believe that such a person existed in the world.
“First of all, this magic is my secret and I can’t tell you. Secondly, from the moment I saw you, the two of you were basically the only ones talking. I didn’t even have a chance to get a word in!”
Faced with Guo Zixiang’s rhetorical question, Su Ran gently tucked a fallen strand of her dark hair behind her ear.
She said something that neither of the two men in front of her could refute.
After speaking, she raised her slender brows and warned, “We need to be quick. The Earth Fire Lizard leader has already noticed the commotion just now.”
