I Return From Hell

Chapter 134: Chapter 127: Water Ability? Ice Ability

SPLASH.

By the time Little Nannan realized something was wrong, it was too late. The sound of something breaking the water’s surface came from behind her.

ROAR.

A strange roar followed.

The hair on her body stood on end. She felt like Death itself had its eyes on her.

’I’m going to die!’

”Watch out!”

Xia Yu’s pupils constricted as she noticed the scene. She was too far away to help. All she could do was close the distance and ensure that if Little Nannan died, she would avenge her!

This was the Mist Event. Danger was everywhere. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Death could come at any moment!

”Nan.”

”No!”

Xie Shaokun saw it too, his face draining of color. He was so shocked he even forgot to dodge the stones being thrown by the little monkey in the tree. One smashed into his head, and blood began to flow freely.

The scent of blood further agitated the surrounding Mutated Beasts.

This made his situation even more difficult.

But he paid it no mind, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Little Nannan!

It was as if he wanted to use these last few moments to burn the image of her back into his memory.

It all happened in an instant.

SWOOSH.

SQUELCH.

CRACK.

The Big Crocodile Turtle burst from the water. It scuttled forward with incredible speed and, just as Little Nannan turned around, bit down hard on her calf. The sounds of tearing flesh and cracking bone rang out simultaneously.

”Ah!”

Little Nannan was, after all, a five-year-old girl. No matter how tough she was, she couldn’t endure such immense pain and screamed.

The Big Crocodile Turtle was wary of the gun in Little Nannan’s hands, so even after its successful sneak attack, it didn’t let its guard down. With a violent jerk of its neck, it actually threw Little Nannan into the water!

It wanted to devour this ’delicious morsel,’ Little Nannan, in the water!

SWOOSH.

Just as it was about to enter the water, it smelled an even more delectable ’scent.’ It whipped its head around, its gaze landing greedily on the baby boy in Little Ai’s arms.

It leaped up.

It lunged aggressively toward the baby boy.

”Y-You... don’t come any closer.”

WAAAH.

Little Ai was so frightened she kept backing away. The baby in her arms seemed to sense the danger as well and began to cry loudly.

Unfortunately...

No one could help her.

The Snake Man, who had been beside her, had already scrambled up a crooked tree and was trembling in fear.

SWOOSH!

The Big Crocodile Turtle wasted no time. After turning, it began to accelerate, opening its massive jaws and lunging straight for the baby in Little Ai’s arms.

The next moment...

Just as everyone thought the girl was about to die...

”Ah!”

WHOOSH.

As Little Ai’s scream rang out again, several Water Arrows materialized in the water. They shot forward, striking the Big Crocodile Turtle faster than it could react. By sheer coincidence, one of the Water Arrows hit its damaged eyeball.

It pierced more than three inches deep!

It finally disintegrated, scattering into droplets of water that fell to the ground.

ROAR.

The second injury to its eye made the Big Crocodile Turtle let out an even more bloodcurdling scream. It forgot all about attacking.

???

At that moment, question marks filled everyone’s minds, each person confused for different reasons.

Snake Man: ’What just happened? Why did the Big Crocodile Turtle suddenly scream and stop attacking?’

Xie Shaokun: ’What was that thing that shot out of the water? Is there another monster in there?’

Xia Yu: ’Were those Water Arrows? Could it be that Little Ai is...’

”The Water Ability User?!”

Her pupils contracted, a look of shocked delight on her face.

Originally, because of Xie Shaokun’s ’brilliant move,’ she had given up hope that the Water Ability User would even come here.

Who would have thought?

The Water Ability User was Little Ai!

’So I’ve known the Water Ability User for a long time.’

At the same time, she realized something: even if she hadn’t stopped her last time, based on what happened in her previous life, Little Ai probably wouldn’t have gone to the Jinlan International Hotel anyway. Otherwise, she would have died for sure.

How could she possibly have participated in this Mist Event?

”Fate really is a mysterious thing.”

Xia Yu reached the shore, preparing to find a boat to rescue Little Nannan and Little Ai.

After all, even though Little Ai was a Water Ability User, she had no experience using her powers, let alone any combat experience. She could be killed in a sudden confrontation with a Mutant, to say nothing of a Red-eyed Mutant Beast.

Suddenly...

WHOOSH.

...

Countless Water Arrows transformed into Ice Arrows, firing in a volley.

However, Little Ai’s luck wasn’t as good this time. She couldn’t manage to hit the Big Crocodile Turtle’s injured eye, and hitting other parts of its body didn’t seem to do much damage. The Big Crocodile Turtle knew fear now and turned to dive back into the water.

Once it was in the water...

...it would be impossible to kill!

BANG.

Just as it was about to escape into the water, a dark gun barrel aimed at its other eye. A high-velocity bullet spun through the air and viciously blew it apart!

The bullet tore wildly through its brain tissue.

THUD.

Finally, the Big Crocodile Turtle fell heavily to the ground.

It didn’t move again.

”It’s dead?”

the Snake Man asked in disbelief.

ACHOO.

Little Nannan sneezed. She was shivering from the cold, but she still held the gun tightly in her hands.

She had a fever.

Although her constitution had been improved multiple times by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power and was far beyond that of an ordinary person, suddenly falling into the water in the middle of winter could still make her sick.

And her fever was even higher than normal!

She had been holding on until now. The moment the tension in her heart eased, she was overcome by fatigue, lethargy, and a deep chill.

”Are you okay?”

Seeing this, a glint appeared in the Snake Man’s eyes. He immediately jumped down from the tree, intending to help Little Nannan up.

”Stay back.”

Little Nannan warily raised her gun.

’She’s still this vigilant, even now?’

’Is this really a five-year-old girl?’

The Snake Man immediately froze, raising his hands. ”Easy there, little sister,” he said. ”Don’t do anything rash. I just want to help you sit down and rest.”

”Thank you, mister, but I don’t need it.”

Little Nannan forced herself to ignore her discomfort and went over to the crooked tree. She leaned against its trunk, clutching the long gun and shivering from the cold.

’I have to hold on.’

’Hold on until Big Sister gets here!’

’Only then can I relax!’

The Snake Man didn’t get any closer. He kept an eye on their surroundings, wary of another monster leaping from the water, while staring at the ice fragments by his feet, feeling extremely puzzled.

’Why did Ice Arrows shoot out of the water?’

PHEW.

Seeing the Big Crocodile Turtle killed, Little Ai let out a huge sigh of relief.

She collapsed to the ground, feeling completely drained, but she still had to find the energy to comfort the baby boy in her arms.

”It’s not a Water Ability!”

”She’s an Ice Ability User!”

Xia Yu’s eyes narrowed, her surprise turning into even greater delight.

Ice Ability Users were rarer and had stronger offensive capabilities. If she could win her over, she would be a huge asset.

”Killed it?”

”That’s great!”

Xie Shaokun’s delighted shout rang out.

THWACK.

Another stone smashed into his head, drawing blood again.

”You...”

Xie Shaokun was so angry he gritted his teeth. ”You’ve gone too far! Damn monkey, I ignored you for a second and now you’re pushing your luck, huh? See if I don’t kill you!”

He lunged straight at it.

With no more worries on his mind, he could throw himself completely into the fight, and his combat power surged instantly.

「On the other side.」

Little Flower had already taken care of the goat, leaving only a few weak Mutated Beasts.

Wiping them out was only a matter of time.

It seemed the situation was decided.
