Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

To escape Gu Yuning's deadly attack, he tossed the child in his arms into the air and then tried to run away.

"Star."

With just one sentence, Chi Xing understood Gu Yuning's idea. The two cooperated perfectly, one attacking the shadowy figure while the other went to pick up the child.

The others then surrounded them, preventing the demon from escaping.

The leaves on the ground rustled, and a vine lashed out at Gu Yuning. Suddenly, Gu Yuning's sword became incredibly sharp, and he severed the thick vine in one strike.

The shadowy figure let out a sharp scream, and Gu Yuning stabbed it mercilessly in the abdomen.

Dark green leaves flowed out, and the shadow finally stopped, revealing its withered and ugly face.

"It's a tree spirit! Catch it quickly!"

A senior female disciple came up with a demon-catching bag. She opened the bag, and the tree demon screamed as it was taken inside.

This is a monster-catching bag provided by the school. Families usually prepare them for their monster catchers as well, but the supply is limited.

When her senior sister opened the demon-catching bag, Gu Yuning subconsciously stood in front of Chi Xing, constantly observing Chi Xing's condition.

If Akahoshi shows any signs of discomfort, he will take Akahoshi away.

But there was a child in Chi Xing's arms, who was looking at Gu Yuning with teary eyes.

"dad……"

Gu Yuning: ?

Akahoshi:? ?

"This isn't your father, don't call him that." Akahoshi had no intention of giving in to the child.

The child looked to be two or three years old. As soon as Akahoshi finished speaking, the child started to pout.

“This is a human child.” Gu Yuning had never taken care of a child before and didn’t know how to hold one.

Chi Xing caught a glimpse of Xu Zheran and Zhang Xiao standing together out of the corner of her eye, and a thought flashed through her mind.

"Senior Brother Zhe Ran, you can help the child find his parents, right?" Chi Xing and Gu Yuning stood together, along with the child, three pairs of eyes looking at him.

Xu Zheran sighed helplessly and took the child from him: "You guys keep an eye on him, I'll take care of him for now."

The child was in Xu Zheran's arms, twisted his body, and looked pitifully at Zhang Xiao beside him.

Zhang Xiao turned around abruptly, about to leave, but Xu Zheran called out to him, "There's water in the back compartment of my backpack, take it out and give it to him to drink."

"Hey, I want to go monster hunting with Brother Ning."

However, when he looked in the direction he had just come from, Chi Xing and Gu Yuning were nowhere to be seen.

Xu Zheran: "Now it's free time, are you going to be a third wheel?"

Zhang Xiao: ……

He resigned himself to staying and helping take care of the children. Actually, it was safest to stay by Xu Zheran's side. Among the senior brothers who came out, Xu Zheran was the most powerful.

Since Gu Yuning did not use his full strength to capture the demon, others only knew that he was stronger than others of the same level. As for who was stronger among his senior brothers and sisters, that was unknown.

But Akahoshi knew that they had encountered several snake demons after walking only a short distance.

The man in the lead was dressed in a crimson robe and dragged a black snake tail as he walked. When he encountered Chi Xing and Gu Yuning, his eyes revealed a sinister glint.

"Hehe, just in time, the king needs people's hearts, and these two are quite good."

The snake demons couldn't discern the two's cultivation level and assumed they were just two ordinary college students. To prevent them from escaping...

There were snake demons in front and behind them, flicking their tongues and swaying their thick tails, their eyes filled with greed for their hearts.

"Let's capture these two first. Once we've collected all eighty-one human hearts, the king's strength will definitely increase significantly."

Several snake demons made strange noises, but thanks to Chi Xing's divine power, the other students nearby did not hear them.

250 pointed to the leading snake demon and said, "[This is Xie Lu's left protector. Xie Shan is currently collecting human hearts and blood for Xie Lu to refine pills for cultivation.]"

[Xie Lu had gone into seclusion, but Chen Siyu accidentally broke in during this time, and the two successfully cultivated together, greatly increasing their strength.]

Gu Yuning was about to draw his sword when Chi Xing grabbed his hand: "Brother Yu, it's a snake demon! It's so scary! None of us know how to catch demons. What if we get captured and have our hearts ripped out?"

He winked at Gu Yuning, who immediately looked terrified: "What are you going to do? This is Zhuyun Mountain. There are many teachers who came up the mountain with us. If they come looking for us, you definitely won't be able to beat them."

Upon hearing this, the demons instinctively burst into laughter, but soon they sensed a powerful spiritual force.

The leader of the Left Protectors' faces darkened, and he waved his hand, saying, "Grab these two and let's go."

Several demons bound the two people with vines and tried to take them away by holding one end of the vines.

The 250 in the sea of ​​consciousness was reporting on what was happening on the other side, keeping it extremely busy:

[Your Highness, Chen Shanhui was in a car accident! Hahaha, the brakes failed, he crashed into the guardrail of the overpass and fell into the river. He's already been swept away.]

Akahoshi was a little surprised: "You can kill people in the small world?"

A flicker of eager anticipation lurked in his eyes. If he could kill, then couldn't he...?

250 immediately stopped him: "No, when did Tong kill anyone? His car malfunction was caused by the little cat demon from Xuanshan seeking revenge."

The little cat demon blinked its eyes: "Your Highness, didn't you say Tong was a little cat demon from Xuan Mountain?"

Akahoshi sighed, and 250 continued, "[The little cat demon was just messing with the brakes to cause an accident; it didn't intend to kill anyone.]"

Akahoshi: [Alright, well done.]

However, he guessed in his heart that Chen Shanhui probably wouldn't die so easily, and might come back someday.

To Akahoshi's surprise, the person he had been discussing in his mind's eye not long ago soon appeared before him.

Chi Xing and Gu Yuning were captured and taken to a cave. After passing through the cave, a hidden cableway appeared. Following the cableway, several snake demons carried Chi Xing and Gu Yuning across a mountain.

The dense forest was filled with miasma and was eerie and terrifying. Occasionally, white bones, some of them animal bones and some of human bones, could be seen on the ground. Gu Yuning frowned.

"Xieshan?"

Hearing this, the snake demons assumed he was afraid and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, are you scared now? I heard that in your human mouths, Xieshan is a forbidden area?"

“That’s right. Not just anyone can enter Xieshan. It’s an honor for you to be able to come into this depths. Hahahaha.”

Gu Yuning glanced at Chi Xing and saw that he didn't seem very scared. She didn't ask Chi Xing what he wanted to do, so as not to alert him.

Deep within the dense forest, there was a huge, dark cave, like a giant beast with its gaping maw; anyone who entered would perish.

Pushed and shoved inside, they arrived at a stone cave. Chi Xing stared at the snake demon's hand that was touching Gu Yuning's back.

After being imprisoned, the snake demon emerged from the cave, and a sharp pain shot through its hand.

The snake demon's face contorted in pain as it screamed in agony, while the other demons remained bewildered.

The next second, white smoke began to rise from the snake demon's palm, and the flesh in its palm seemed to be corroded by something, first turning black, and then turning into blood that dripped onto the ground.
