Su Nuo put a hand on his head, lowered his head and dived into the jungle.
Even if the branches around him hit his body and face desperately, as long as he didn't get into his eyes, Suno would keep running.
The footsteps behind her became more and more chaotic, and it seemed that there were more than one or two people chasing her.
Su Nuo really wanted to stop and see how Gu Chenglan was doing, but she didn't dare. She was afraid of holding Gu Chenglan back.
But unexpectedly, there was no scream from behind. It seems that Gu Chenglan didn’t take action against the indigenous people
Suno's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he finally stopped when his legs could no longer move.
The footsteps chasing her also slowed down. When Suno turned around, he saw several indigenous people holding sharp spears made of wood, slowly approaching towards her.
Su Nuo gasped for air and looked around constantly, but she didn't see Gu Chenglan.
Could it be that Gu Chenglan was already...
Su Nuo didn't dare to think about it anymore. She held one hand tightly against her rapidly beating heart, and the other hand tightened her stethoscope as a weapon.
"Lower your head." Gu Chenglan's voice suddenly came from the back right.
Suno didn't have time to react, so he squatted down subconsciously based on instinct.
A gleaming silver crossbow arrow flew over Suno's head.
A small sound of "poof" had passed directly through the shoulder of an indigenous man.
With blood and screams, the native fell directly to the ground.
The other natives were stunned for a moment, but instead of running away, they rushed towards Suno together.
Suno squatted on the ground. It was too late to get up and run away now. I could only sit down on the ground and swing the stethoscope in my hand again. I could resist it for a while.
A figure flew over above him, and his long legs kicked the two rushing natives to the ground.
When Gu Chenglan landed, the remaining two indigenous people gave up on Su Nuo and stabbed Gu Chenglan back. One of them was knocked down by Gu Chenglan's punch, and the other was directly nailed to a tree by another crossbow arrow.
Suno was completely stunned.
This was the first time she saw Gu Chenglan hurt someone, and he was so quick and fierce that he just pulled the trigger and fired the crossbow arrow without thinking.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Nuo. Breathe, take a deep breath." Gu Chenglan suddenly hugged Su Nuo into his arms, grabbed Su Nuo's hair with his big hands, and his fingers touched his scalp, leaving a warm feeling.
Only then did Su Nuo come back to his senses. He breathed slowly and calmed his heart rate according to Gu Chenglan's words.
"I didn't kill anyone, they were just injured." Gu Chenglan kissed Sunuo's forehead and helped Sunuo stand up.
"Let's go, we ran in the wrong direction." Gu Chenglan grabbed Su Nuo's arm and forced her not to look back.
After walking for a while, Sunuo suddenly came back to his senses.
"You really... didn't kill them?" Suno couldn't bear to look back, but she was already starting to panic.
"I promise." Gu Chenglan stared into Suno's eyes and said seriously: "I have been to Africa many times, and I have met many indigenous people. But I will not kill anyone."
"Let's go." Su Nuo believed Gu Chenglan, she just held Gu Chenglan's hand tighter.
There was a "click" of lightning, and the trees overhead were blown by the wind, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
Gu Chenglan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Suno: "As long as it rains once, they shouldn't be able to catch up with us."
Suno nodded, but inexplicably felt his heart palpitating again.
