He Lan Tianxia

With a "whoosh" and a low shout, it was as if someone had flashed past them. Jiang He was about to make a move when Murong Junlan stopped him. Since that person hadn't attacked them or even noticed them, Murong Junlan didn't want to expose himself first. Once exposed, things would become much more difficult.

Suddenly, a bird took flight from the bushes in front of them. Murong Junlan tried to see where the bird went, but before it could even spread its wings, it was struck and fell to the ground. Then there was the sound of someone running. The other birds were startled and flew in all directions, but they were all shot down before they could spread their wings. It was undoubtedly the work of the white-haired woman.

Murong Junlan and Jiang He groped their way forward for a short distance. Ahead was a small pond. The water looked quite deep, and it was unclear whether there were any fish in it. It was about ten zhang away and surrounded by grass. To get to the other side, they had to walk around the pond.

"Your Highness, shall I go and scout ahead first?" Jiang He suggested.

"No need." Murong Junlan refused. He wasn't a woman; why should he need Murong Junlan to protect him? "Go left." Murong Junlan felt that this small pond might not be small; it could hold many unexpected things, and he didn't want Jiang He to take that risk.

With a "plop," it sounded like someone had fallen into the pond. Murong Junlan's face was obscured by a clump of dense grass, and he only saw a splash of water. He quickly looked behind him at Jiang He, who shook his head, indicating he hadn't seen clearly either. Just as the two were about to make their move, a large gorilla suddenly leaped out of the pond with a whoosh. It must have stepped on something, because it managed to somersault across the water into the grass on the other side.

At this moment, the quiet pond became restless. The previously blue-green water suddenly gushed out a patch of yellowish turbidity, the water churned, and then a tail swept heavily towards Murong Junlan and his companions.

Murong Junlan swung his thin rope, aiming directly at the tail. Before he could retract the rope, a crocodile's large mouth lunged at him. The two had no choice but to leap into the air to avoid it. Perhaps sensing human presence, the crocodile fiercely pounced, searching for its prey. Despite its large head and thick tail, it attacked from both sides, striking at Murong Junlan and Jiang He simultaneously.

"You've got some skill." Murong Junlan turned around on the spot, simply tossing the thin rope along the ground. He wanted to wrap it around the creature's two front legs, not wanting to make a loud noise and attract the white-haired woman's attention. It wasn't that he was afraid of the white-haired woman coming, but rather that he worried she might bring his Yan'er with her, which would be dangerous. Besides, in her desperation, the white-haired woman might even throw his Yan'er into the pond.

*Thump.* Someone else has indeed been thrown into the pond. And they haven't surfaced for quite some time; it looks like they're in grave danger.

Whoosh. The gorilla sprang out of the pond again. Before it could even stand up, someone pushed it back in from behind. The gorilla bounced back onto the shore with a thud. This happened about ten times. The crocodile next to it even forgot to attack Murong Junlan and Jiang He.

The crocodile, seemingly enraged by being ignored, thought, "How dare you disregard such a massive creature like me?" It lashed out with its enormous tail and lunged at the gorilla. The gorilla, amused by the crocodile's attack, seemed to have been waiting in vain. Waiting for the crocodile to open its jaws, it grabbed a large rock from the shore and hurled it. The crocodile sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to close its mouth, so it could only bite the rock. At that moment, the foolish gorilla leaped onto the crocodile's back. Enraged, the crocodile slammed the gorilla against the shore, while the gorilla, seized by a playful impulse, grabbed the crocodile's head and roared loudly.

The crocodile was utterly enraged. It abandoned Murong Junlan and Jiang He to focus its attacks on the gorilla. Don't underestimate this crocodile; its rage was astonishing. It retreated back into the water and then began spinning at an astonishing speed, as fast as a windmill.

The gorilla seemed to have encountered an unprecedented surprise, riding on the crocodile's back like it was on a roller coaster, and was ecstatic.

Murong Junlan was pondering whether to leave when suddenly, another person soared through the air. This person, with white hair, descended from the sky; if you ignored her sinister face and only looked at her back, she would appear as if a celestial being had descended from heaven. Where did she land? She landed on the back of a gorilla. My goodness! How did she manage to stand on one leg on the back of a tumbling crocodile?

Murong Junlan was amazed. She didn't know where the white-haired woman had learned this skill from, but her strength had clearly advanced by two levels.

Faced with these two extremely abnormal creatures, the crocodile was powerless to resist. After fighting for a while, the crocodile exploded and lay motionless. Seeing that the game was not going well, the idiot abandoned the crocodile, jumped back into the grass on the bank, and disappeared in an instant.

How scary!

Yan'er. His Yan'er had been tortured like this by these two madmen… Murong Junlan couldn't bear to imagine it any longer. He said "Let's go" and chased after the white-haired woman in the direction she had retreated…
