"Quint." Just when Gu Mengmeng almost died, a voice sounded above them.
Quint paused obviously, seeming to hesitate for a moment. But then the force on his hand became heavier, and it was obvious that he was going to put Gu Mengmeng to death at all costs.
Click.
With a crisp sound, Gu Mengmeng's neck relaxed, and the surrounding air suddenly rushed into her mouth and nose. She opened her mouth greedily and urgently, gasping for air like a beached fish.
"Ah!" Quint's wail resounded through the jungle, and a bloody severed hand was casually discarded beside him.
Gu Mengmeng fell into a soft embrace. The man gently stroked Gu Mengmeng's back to calm her down, as if the person who tore off Kunt's arm was not him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Gu Mengmeng was very weak due to lack of oxygen, like a boneless cat curled up in the man's arms. His voice was calm, but it made Gu Mengmeng feel at ease. It was obviously someone she didn't know, but at this moment, it gave her an absolute sense of security.
Gu Mengmeng didn't know why she trusted this person who appeared out of nowhere. She just felt that his embrace was so warm and she unconsciously wanted to rely on him.
"Yeah." The voice was a little dry, and Gu Mengmeng reluctantly agreed and said nothing more.
"Are you willing to come back to Saint-Nazène with me?" the man asked again.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Quint, who was still wailing at the side, feeling sad in her heart. Although this man is hateful, there is one thing he said that is particularly right.
In such a world, without the protection of the tribe, if she died, who would know
What's more, in this deep mountain and old forest, even if Nina's friends didn't come to seek revenge, Gu Mengmeng probably wouldn't survive more than three days. Instead of doing this, it would be better to go back to the Saint-Naze tribe. After all, there is still an acquaintance named Barret. If Elvis insists on eating her, it is not too late to run away.
Thinking like this, Gu Mengmeng nodded, which was regarded as consent.
After receiving Gu Mengmeng's approval, the man seemed relieved. One hand held Gu Mengmeng's butt, and the other hand caressed her neck. He held Gu Mengmeng in his arms like a child and made her as comfortable as possible.
After taking two steps forward and passing by Quint, the man stopped, looked at Quint condescendingly and said, "Follow me back to Saint-Nazère to accept divine punishment."
"Yes." Quint gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. He followed the man with his arm on one side and stumbled all the way back to Saint-Nazaire.
This night, I ran away and was chased, and almost died. The extreme uneasiness and panic consumed too much of Gu Mengmeng's energy. Coupled with the comfort and gentleness of the man's arms, Gu Mengmeng quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she had returned to the Saint Naze tribe.
"Are you awake?" Ervis had a frozen face, as if he was holding back his anger, but he was reluctant to explode at Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng blinked, looked around, and found that she was now in Ervis' cave, and there was no one else around.
That person last night... was definitely not Ervis.
Gu Mengmeng thought this and asked, "Where is the person who saved me last night?"
As soon as Gu Mengmeng asked the question, Ervis punched the cave wall, and scattered gravels flew everywhere. Gu Mengmeng was so scared that she curled up and wanted to shrink into her own shadow.
