What delivery?
Delivery to where?
Lin Xuan Qi didn't have time to think about it, and he quickly pressed the 'Y' button.
The next moment, he felt a pill inside his mouth.
That shocked him and he swallowed the pill.
A surge of energy and strength came out of nowhere.
He felt as if he had become ten times stronger in an instant.
Zhang Xi also felt his strength increase as his grip on her leg had tightened.
"Get out of my way!"
The plump agent coming from behind stretched out her hand and tried to push Lin Xuan Qi out of the way.
Plop.
Surprisingly Lin Xuan Qi stood firm, and the rebounding force made her fall and tumble to the ground.
"What are you trying to do? Murder me?" She shouted angrily at Lin Xuan Qi.
Growl.
When she heard the demonic beast's low growl getting nearer, she panicked, looking back and forth.
By now the producer and the other staff had run for their lives, and they were already far ahead of them.
She recalled a joke, and a thought rose in her mind.
"I just need to make sure you run slower than me for me to survive." She murmured to herself as she looked around for a weapon.
All this while she didn't even bother about Zhang Xi for a single bit.
Zhang Xi couldn't comprehend it in her mind, and she held tighter onto Lin Xuan Qi.
He had become someone reliable for her.
Lin Xuan Qi felt the softness pressing, but he didn't have time to enjoy the feeling.
The plump agent came at him with a huge branch.
She held up the branch and wanted to smash it down onto his head.
He had gotten ready and wanted to give her a frontal kick, but the branch never had the chance to come down.
A huge figure appeared behind the plump agent.
It held onto the branch and pulled her toward itself.
Splatter.
The plump agent didn't even have an opportunity to scream before she was bitten on the neck by the demonic beast.
Blood spurted all over the place.
"I'm ok. Let me down and let's try to get away together." Zhang Xi let go of her hand and said.
How could she let someone who was terminally ill try to protect her.
It was time she did something for herself and others she cared about.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded and let her down from his back.
He knew that she was right, their chances of survival were higher if they ran in different directions.
"That path over there, on the left, run towards it on the count of three."
"What about you?"
"I will run to the path on the right."
The demonic beast turned its attention over to Lin Xuan Qi and Zhang Xi after it was done with the plump agent.
It snarled at them with its mouth filled and dripping with blood.
"Three."
"Two"
When Lin Xuan Qi saw it move, he shouted, "Now. Run!"
Before he could start running, the demonic beast lunged at him and swiped at him with its huge claws.
Lin Xuan Qi instinctively raised his arms to block.
"No!" Zhang Xi cried out in fear of what would happen to Lin Xuan Qi.
Something unlocked in her body, and she started to feel different.
Thud.
To his surprise, the claws were stopped by his arms.
His skin was tough enough to withstand the sharp claws, and they barely scratched the surface.
This gave Lin Xuan Qi confidence in the power of the pill, and he gave the demonic beast a punch in its abdomen.
Thud.
The punch hit and the demonic beast took a few steps back.
It growled and got onto the ground with its four limbs.
Boom.
The demonic beast lunged at Lin Xuan Qi at fast speed.
It was like a dark shimmer coming at Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi was caught by it, and they tumbled along the ground.
When they stopped the demonic beast was on top of Lin Xuan Qi.
Zhang Xi panicked, and anger rose within her.
This time she felt herself burning from within.
A fireball shot from her hand and boom it hit the demonic beast's head and exploded.
She didn't know what had happened and she looked at her hands.
They slowly blurred as she felt herself drained of energy and she fainted onto the ground.
The demonic beast's head got badly burnt and it gave out a loud howl.
Lin Xuan Qi rained punches on the demonic beast's abdomen.
With every punch the demonic beast felt as if its innards were being squashed and it got up and tried to get away.
"Where do you think you are going?" Shao Xue Cong appeared with her left arm bleeding.
She lunged at the demonic beast, and she gave out that white glow for a moment again.
Splatter.
Her punch came out from the back of the demonic beast's head.
The demonic beast dropped to the ground, and she gave out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
So much for earning her pocket money, she thought.
After catching her breath, she walked over to Lin Xuan Qi and asked, "What happened? How did you burn its head?"
Lin Xuan Qi himself had so many questions.
What was that beast all about? It didn't look like any ordinary beast.
And that fireball Zhang Xi had unleashed.
Lastly that pill was delivered and it worked.
He couldn't decide at that moment whether to tell Shao Xue Cong about Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi twitched her lips as she waited for his answer.
Seeing that Lin Xuan Qi didn't say anything, she took out a badge and showed it to him.
