Chapter 221 Falling into the Abyss
Yan Lie protected Bai Wanwan behind him and quickly turned his head. There was a bottomless canyon under the cliff, and the opposite cliff was at least twenty meters away from them.

The rushing river roared at the bottom of the valley, winding through the darkness like a silver snake.

His heart sank.

This distance could only be crossed in one leap in their prime, but now they were all exhausted.

But...there is no other choice except this path.

The mutant ape was getting closer and closer to them.

Jin Yi looked around and apparently noticed the other side of the cliff...

That may be their only way out.

He looked at Yan Lie and said, "There is no other choice but to give it a try."

"it is good."

The two males looked at each other, then quickly retreated, put aside all distractions, and jumped towards the cliff together.

But at this moment, the mutant ape suddenly jumped down and pounced towards Jin Yi and Bai Wanwan below.

"Wanwan!"

A fiery roar cut through the sky.

Bai Wanwan's hair stood on end. She looked up and saw a bloody mouth right in front of her, with blood streaks of rotten flesh hanging on its fangs.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and she could even see her own pale reflection in the ape's pupils.

A white shadow came across like lightning and collided with the ape less than two meters away from her.

The huge impact force caused the ape to deviate from its trajectory, and the figure fell rapidly under the reaction force.

"Flame!!!"

Bai Wanwan's scream was heart-wrenching.

The falling snow leopard looked up at her, fear still in its amber eyes, but it turned into tenderness when it saw her safe and sound figure.

His lips moved as if he was saying something to her, but his final farewell was crushed by the whistling wind.

Jin Yi's figure could not stop, and she was being carried farther and farther away from him.

She stretched out her hands, grasping at the air in vain, and watched him fall into the abyss...

Jin Yi held his breath and successfully stepped onto the cliff, but because he tried hard to slide down for a distance, he grabbed the cliff with his claws and jumped again, and then he successfully stood on the edge of the cliff.

He had heard the noise just now, but he had to ensure the female's safety and could not be distracted.

Only then did he turn around and look at the two figures falling rapidly below the cliff.

thump... thump...

Bai Wanwan's blood almost froze as she watched Yanlie fall into the abyss, his snow-white figure being swallowed by the huge splash of water.

She opened her eyes wide to see clearly what was happening below.

"Yanlie..." She called out Yanlie's name, but her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

The fingertips dug deep into the palm.

Half a minute... one minute...

I don’t know how long it took, but there was no movement on the water surface.

She rolled her eyes slowly and looked at Jin Yi, with a last hope in her eyes.

"Jin Yi, Yan Lie is a yellow-rank male. He'll be fine if he falls from here, right?"

Jin Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to tell the truth, but in the end he swallowed all the words and just said "hmm" softly.

But he knew in his heart that Yan Lie was already exhausted and injured, and he had collided violently with the mutant beast. Even if he didn't fall off the cliff, he would be seriously injured, not to mention...

The possibility of Yanlie surviving is extremely slim.

"Put me down. I want to take a closer look."

Jin Yi didn't say anything and put her down silently.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell, and the cliff was quiet, with no one speaking.

Jin Yi stood silently behind Bai Wanwan. Although he didn't see her cry or cry, he could sense a deep sadness from her. After a long moment, Jin Yi looked up at the sky, his expression solemn.

"If Yanlie is alive, he will find a way to find us. Now it's getting dark, and we need to find a safe place to spend the night."

It's not safe for the two males to take Bai Wanwan with them, not to mention that he is the only male left now.

Bai Wanwan's gaze was still glued to the water, as if she hadn't heard Jin Yi's voice.

"Bai Wanwan," Jin Yi had to emphasize his tone, "Yan Lie gambled his life for your safety. If you stay here any longer and encounter danger, Yan Lie's sacrifice will be meaningless."

Bai Wanwan came back to her senses, and this time, she heard Jin Yi's words clearly.

To Jin Yi's surprise, she turned around quickly and concealed the sadness on her face.

She nodded vigorously, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or responding to him, "Yes, I can't be in trouble. I still have to wait for Yan Lie to come back."

She stood up quickly, "Let's go."

Jin Yi was already used to carrying her on his back, so after she said this, he knelt down and waited for her to climb onto his back.

When he realized what he had done, Jin Yi's expression was a little strange.

Soon, the female climbed onto his back, "I'm ready."

They walked through the dense forest in silence.

Jin Yi's ears were always alert, catching any suspicious sounds.

When it was completely dark, Jin Yi found a hidden cave.

The entrance of the cave is covered by dense vines and the interior is narrow and crowded.

But it was more than enough to accommodate the two of them.

Jin Yi carefully checked inside and confirmed that it was safe before relaxing.

"Okay, you take a rest for a while, I'll go out for a bit, I'll be nearby, don't be afraid."

Seeing Bai Wanwan's pale face, he rarely explained more.

"You go hunting?"

"Well, you must be hungry after a long day of running around. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with the next situation."

"you're right!"

Bai Wanwan nodded. The other party took the risk to find her, and did not abandon her to escape at the critical moment of life and death. He even helped them to cover their retreat and was injured.

Bai Wanwan has already accumulated enough trust in him in her heart.

"No need to go, I have enough food."

Jin Yi glanced at her. The female didn't even have an animal skin bag on her. Where did she get food?
Bai Wanwan also noticed his confusion, and she opened the system panel with her finger, and took out the prey that had been stored in the system space under his nose.

Bang!
The prey hit the ground, raising dust.

Jin Yi's eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Bai Wanwan slid down slowly and sat on the ground, leaning against the rock wall. "It's too dangerous outside. Let's hide here for the next few days and wait for the beast tide to recede before returning to the tribe."

If you have enough food, this is the best option.

In the current forest, there is no way for him to bring a female back to the tribe safely.

"it is good."

Jin Yi took two steps forward, squatted in front of the prey, quickly skinned and deboned it, cut off the tender pieces of meat and handed them to her.

Bai Wanwan shook her head. "I don't eat raw meat. You can eat it yourself."

After saying that, she took out the dried meat from the system space.

Even though she had no appetite, she still took a big bite.

The dried meat tasted like wax in her mouth, but she didn't stop.

Chewing mouthful after mouthful, forcing myself to swallow.

She must conserve her strength and stay alive. Yan Lie will be fine. She will wait for Yan Lie to come back alive!
