After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1230: TIt’s Just Good Luck
Jinbao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and roll his eyes a little.
She was so mean. Who wouldn't be furious after hearing those words? To trade his life's savings for the lifetime peace of his arch-nemesis... If it were Jinbao, just imagining it would make it want to spit blood.
But then again, it wasn't Jinbao's situation.
It was the world's most powerful cat, after all.
Jinbao meowed and, with a quick push of its paws, leaped toward Augusta. It opened its mouth and swallowed the fresh soul that had just left Augusta's body.
Before Augusta could even process what was happening, he was sucked straight into Jinbao's stomach, not even able to scream for help.
Jinbao wiped its mouth and burped.
It hadn't eaten such a vile spirit in ages.
The cat jumped back into Zhouzhou's arms and, uncharacteristically, licked her hand.
Zhouzhou was indeed a scumbag, but she had real skills.
At least, with her, it never went hungry.
Well, it was better to stick with her than anyone else. At least it didn't have to worry about meals.
With that in mind, Jinbao grudgingly decided to overlook Zhouzhou's flirtatiousness.
She just made a mistake that every woman in the world would make.
It could endure. It would turn a blind eye and keep going.
Jinbao was good at comforting itself, and it didn't take long to convince itself.
Zhouzhou, meanwhile, cleaned up Augusta's corpse, stuffed it into her bag, and used a cleaning talisman to remove all traces from the ground. After that, she climbed up a tree and took a nap. When morning came, she lazily made her way out.
It was already the second day of the competition.
After walking for a while, Zhouzhou reached the outer arena and finally heard gunshots.
She couldn't help but purse her lips and sigh. Augusta didn't have a counter or a locator, so there was no way to calculate his score now that he was dead.
In that case, her efforts last night had been for nothing.
Frowning, Zhouzhou was visibly unhappy.
She couldn't let this slide; she had to make up for it.
She wanted Augusta's bounty, but she also wanted the competition prize!
Adults make choices, but kids want it all!
With that thought, Zhouzhou grabbed her gun again and dived back into the competition.
In the sky, Ye Lingfeng watched her safely and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little confused and turned to look at Ancestral Master, asking, "Is Zhouzhou's beast control really that impressive?"
He knew Zhouzhou could control beasts to some extent; otherwise, Wangcai wouldn't have run to her the first time they met, and she wouldn't have been able to take Jinbao the little lion either.
But he thought she only knew a little bit, just some surface-level stuff.
After all, Wei Feng had his own zoo, so knowing a little about beast control was normal.
But last night, when Zhouzhou controlled so many animals, it was different.
The beasts were packed so tightly that they could fill a playground, and they were all different species.
Yet Zhouzhou simply blew a tune with a leaf, and all the animals scattered?
It was only at that moment that Ye Lingfeng truly realized the depth of Zhouzhou's beast control ability.
He used to think he knew Zhouzhou best, but now he realized how wrong he was.
Ancestral Master had watched Zhouzhou grow up and was very familiar with her appearance before she left the mountain.
Leaning back on his cloud, casually crossing his legs, he responded nonchalantly, "Well, Wei Feng's beast control isn't bad. He's been to the African savannah and the tropical rainforest to practice beast control."
"I think it's a family tradition. Either you control the beasts, or you feed yourself to them. With that kind of pressure, if he didn't have real skills, he wouldn't have made it this far."
Ye Lingfeng fell silent. After a few seconds, he silently gave a thumbs up.
Impressive.
What kind of family comes up with such a training method?
It was a miracle they hadn't been wiped out.
Anyway, Zhouzhou was fine, which put him at ease.
But it wasn't without problems.
Zhouzhou had spent the whole day dealing with Augusta, so her points had stagnated.
She had been fighting for first and second place with Augusta, but after a day and night, her ranking had dropped to the bottom.
Seeing this, Commander furrowed his brow.
He carefully examined the surveillance footage. After a clip from yesterday, Zhouzhou had vanished.
And so had Augusta.
Moreover, Augusta's last direction of departure was the same as Zhouzhou's.
He could guess that Augusta had likely gone after Zhouzhou.
It wasn't just a competition; he really wanted to take her life.
He hadn't slept all night, his heart was in his throat, worried about Zhouzhou. He had no idea what had happened to her.
If something had happened to her, not only would he not know how to explain it to Ye Lingfeng, but he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
A good girl like Zhouzhou shouldn't have bad things happen to her.
As his expression revealed his inner turmoil, several judges exchanged knowing glances, their mouths curling into malicious smiles.
One of them patted his shoulder and said, "Friendship first, competition second. Don't worry too much. I believe everyone will know when to stop."
Immediately, someone else chimed in, "But this is the jungle. If we run into wild beasts, there's nothing we can do."
"Don't you guys from Hua Country believe in fate? If that's the case, it's just bad luck."
They all laughed loudly, their malice unhidden.
Commander clenched his fists, wishing he could punch each one of them.
At that moment, several gunshots rang out, sharp and decisive. After each shot, an elimination announcement followed, showing that the shooter's marksmanship was precise.
Commander's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked up. Zhouzhou's stagnant score finally started moving.
He looked at the screen again, and her figure was quickly weaving through the jungle, shooting one perfect score after another, like a ruthless point-scorer machine.
She was covered in some blood, with traces at the corners of her mouth, but she seemed unaffected by it, so it didn't appear to be a serious injury.
Seeing this, Commander felt the heavy stone in his heart finally lift.
She was fine, she was fine.
His gaze shifted to the stunned judges, and he smiled smugly, saying, "Looks like our luck's pretty good."
They dared to curse Zhouzhou? They'd be so mad they couldn't breathe!
The judges were all dumbfounded.
They had expected to only see her corpse when they saw her again, but here she was, alive and well.
What was going on?
If she was here, where was Augusta?
For some reason, they suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Could it be...?
