Chapter 149 A Close Call, Xing’s Potential Awakened!
Xing was stunned when Lin Ye asked her that.
After sensing for a moment, Xing looked at Lin Ye with a sense of loss and shook her head. “It’s okay, the later a Talent Ability is activated, the stronger it is.” Lin Ye saw Xing’s dejected appearance and whispered words of comfort into her ear.
Then Lin Ye helped Xing to the side and found a piece of wood for her to sit on and rest.
The other Beast-eared Girls sat on the ground and rested for a while.
Then they all got up and tidied the Beast Skins and straw mats on the ground back inside.
Xing’s Black Bear Hide from earlier.
As soon as Shi picked it up, “Splash!”
A large amount of sweat flowed directly from the bear hide onto the ground.
Because the bear hide was waterproof, all of Xing’s sweat dripped onto it and stayed there.
When Shi picked it up, it all flowed down.
Seeing this, Xing couldn’t help but blush a little.
Lin Ye couldn’t help but curl his lips and said to Shi and Susu,
“Take this bear hide to the water pipe to wash it, then spread it on a rock to dry before taking it into the wooden house.” He then slightly turned his head and looked at Yun, speaking.
“Yun, go to the well and fetch a bucket of water for your sister, tell her to drink it all.” The three of them all nodded at Lin Ye after hearing this.
Shi and Susu took the bear hide and walked towards the water pipe.
Yun went to the well to fetch water.
Because it had rained so heavily yesterday, the small river was flowing strongly again.
So the water pipe was flowing with water again.
Although the water from the water pipe couldn’t be drunk directly, it was fine for washing things. After 617 finished tidying up everything on the ground, the Beast-eared Girls went to look for dry firewood and dry grass.
They hadn’t eaten anything yesterday because of the rain, and it was already until now.
Just now, they had all done a lot of Burpee Jumps, so many of the Beast-eared Girls were already dizzy from hunger.
Lin Ye thought for a moment and reminded the Beast-eared Girls.
“If you can’t find dry firewood, collect some small branches and leave them in the sun to dry for a while.” The Beast-eared Girls nodded at Lin Ye, and then they all split up to search in the vicinity.
At this time, Shi and Susu, after placing the washed bear hide in the sun to dry, also returned and began searching for firewood together with the other Beast-eared Girls.
Xing sat there resting for a while, wanting to stand up and search for firewood with the other Beast-eared Girls.
Then she found that she didn’t even have the strength to stand up now.
As soon as she exerted force on her legs, they started to tremble.
Her hands were completely limp and weak, and she couldn’t even lift her arms to her forehead to smooth her sweat-soaked hair.
So she could only sit there and continue to rest.
At this time, Yun came over from another direction, carrying the wooden bucket full of water.
Xing had sweated so much, and had been breathing through her mouth the whole time.
Now she felt extremely thirsty, and even her saliva had a bitter taste.
So when Xing saw Yun walking towards them with the wooden bucket, her face revealed an expression of expectation.
However, just as Yun was about to reach the wooden house and pass by a nearby grove of trees.
Xing looked at Yun, and the expectant expression on her face suddenly changed drastically.
The last second, Xing, who was smiling and waiting for Yun to bring her water, suddenly changed her expression of panic and yelled in the direction of Yun, “Yun, behind you! Quickly dodge—!”
Lin Ye heard Xing’s sharp cry and immediately turned his head to look at Xing.
Then he saw that she was looking in one direction with a look of panic on her face.
Lin Ye followed Xing’s gaze.
He discovered that Yun was walking towards them with the wooden bucket.
But behind her, a dry tree was just about to fall, and Yun happened to be walking in the direction of the falling tree.
Yun immediately reacted after hearing Xing’s voice and immediately looked around.
Then she felt a shadow enveloping her.
But by the time Yun realized it, it was too late to dodge. In her haste, she could only raise her arm in a final struggle.
Lin Ye saw the tree getting closer and closer to Yun. He first tensed up all over, and then was about to rush towards Yun.
But at this moment, Lin Ye felt a strong gust of wind passing by him.
Then he saw a figure rushing towards Yun like an arrow loosed from a bow.
The speed was so fast that Lin Ye was slightly stunned.
Then Lin Ye saw that the figure was Xing, who had just been sitting aside.
In the blink of an eye, Xing arrived beside Yun, who was closing her eyes and holding the bucket of water high above her head.
In such a short amount of time, Xing didn’t have time to think. Seeing that the large tree was about to crush Yun, Xing, with undiminished momentum, used her shoulder to collide with the large tree that was crashing down towards Yun. “Bang!”
Then there was the sound of a heavy object landing.
A cloud of dust rose, and Yun, still frightened, stood there with her eyes closed, unmoving.
The large tree that had fallen was directly knocked away by Xing and landed heavily on the ground.
After knocking the large tree away, Xing lost all her strength again and sat down on her bottom on the ground.
Hearing Xing’s voice, the Beast-eared Girls looked over and happened to see the scene of Xing knocking the large tree away. “Hiss—!”
The Beast-eared Girls were all stunned on the spot.
The firewood slipped from their hands without any reaction.
They just stared blankly in that direction, unable to react for a long time.
Lin Ye, after being slightly stunned when he saw Xing rush out, also quickly rushed out.
On his way there, Lin Ye watched as Xing, with a sideways lunge, was directly knocked away by Xing before the large tree could hit Yun.
Lin Ye’s mouth also widened, and his steps slowly stopped.
Xing sat on the ground, lowering her head and panting heavily, her body rising and falling dramatically.
Yun heard the sound of something heavy landing.
But she didn’t feel anything.
Yun’s ears twitched, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Then she saw that the large tree that was about to crash down on her had disappeared.
Instead, Xing was sitting on the ground in front of her.
Yun didn’t know what had happened yet. She looked around, and found that the large tree had fallen on the ground not far away.
Then Yun looked at Xing, who was sitting on the ground, with confusion. She crouched down, put down the wooden bucket in her hand, and asked, “Sister, what just happened? Wasn’t that tree about to hit me?”
Xing was still sitting on the ground, panting heavily. Hearing Yun ask her, Xing shook her head at Yun while breathing heavily.
Yun looked at Xing, who was breathing violently and couldn’t speak, with worry, but didn’t know what to do, so she could only squat by the side and wait.
Xing finally lay down on the ground, her chest rising and falling continuously.
She breathed in heavily, and her throat made a sound like bellows.
It seemed as if this exertion was more tiring than her doing over two hundred Burpee Jumps with Lin Ye.
At this moment, Lin Ye and the Beast-eared Girls had reacted.
Lin Ye looked at Xing’s appearance with some concern and quickly walked towards her.
The Beast-eared Girls began to discuss in shock.
“Did you guys see that? With a ‘bang!’, such a big tree was knocked away by Xing!” “Really, I also saw Xing run from the door of the wooden house to over there in the blink of an eye, it was truly a blink of an eye.” “That tree almost hit Yun just now, Xing must have gone to save Yun, right?”
“But even if it was to save Yun, Xing is too amazing, she ran over in an instant and knocked away such a big tree.” The Beast-eared Girls’ faces were filled with excited expressions as they chatted amongst themselves.
Lin Ye walked to Xing’s side.
He saw that Xing was still lying on the ground with her eyes closed, breathing heavily.
But Lin Ye found that apart from breathing continuously, Xing was completely unharmed.
Then, when Lin Ye walked to her side and a shadow fell upon her, Xing opened her eyes and looked at Lin Ye.
Xing, while breathing heavily, gave Lin Ye a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Yun saw Lin Ye coming over and anxiously asked Lin Ye,
“Ye, what’s wrong with my sister? What happened just now? How did she suddenly appear here from there?” Looking at the anxious Yun, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.
Lin Ye didn’t answer for the time being. Instead, he first checked Xing’s shoulder to see if it was injured from colliding with the large tree.
Yun also looked at Lin Ye checking Xing’s body with worry.
But Xing shook her head at Lin Ye.
After a few more breaths, she managed to utter a few words.
“I… I’m fine.”
