The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

"I'm not a monster, I really am not."

His answer, coupled with his clumsy movements, made Liu Yun's tense nerves relax a little.

"It can talk."

"I must say, your outfit is quite intimidating."

In those few seconds of her hesitation...

From the woods behind, a chilling shriek was already echoing.

Liu Yun's face turned pale instantly.

Can't wait any longer!

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her whole body transformed into a light shadow, instantly circling around to Pan Gu's side.

Pan Gu felt a sweet fragrance, unlike anything he had ever smelled before, waft towards him.

Eyes facing each other.

Of course, Liu Yun could only see the shadow of the hood.

She stuck out her tongue and grabbed Pan Gu's wide sleeve.

The fabric felt cold and hard to the touch, unlike ordinary clothing.

"What are you standing there for, you idiot! Run!"

She pulled hard.

The massive body of the giant bone was actually pulled so hard that it stumbled.

Pan Gu was somewhat stunned.

Then, without realizing it, he started running after Liu Yun.

Pan Gu himself didn't know why he was following along.

He glanced back.

In the distance, among the trees, more than a dozen agile, monkey-like monsters were gripping tree branches.

Swinging in the air on a swing, it approached them at an extremely fast speed.

The monsters' claws gleamed with a cold, metallic light.

"Faster! Faster!"

Liu Yun's voice was tinged with fear as she pulled with all her might.

"Those monsters are Cracked Claw Apes. Although they're only servant-level, there are many of them. If they get on our heels, we're doomed!"

Cleftclawed ape?

Pan Gu's thoughts were pulled back somewhat from the chaos by the noisy monkeys.

He just glanced behind him instinctively.

Just one glance.

All the Clawed Apes, who had been excitedly screaming and chasing their prey through the forest, suddenly froze.

Their movements were forcibly frozen at this moment.

It was like being pierced by an invisible bolt of lightning.

next second.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

One by one, the agile Clawed Apes fell from the branches like dumplings being put into a pot.

They crashed to the ground, raising a withered leaf, twitched twice, and then stopped breathing.

The entire process happened in an instant.

Liu Yun, who was desperately pulling him along as they ran, was completely unaware of all this.

She didn't even dare to look back.

She felt as if the chilling shriek behind her had suddenly vanished.

Is it just my imagination?

Or are they gathering strength, preparing to launch an even more deadly attack?

Fear prevented her from thinking further, and she could only focus all her strength on her legs.

Even though she knew it was a game, she didn't want to die...

Because of this absurd game setting, she didn't want to die, let alone get injured.

"Huff... huff..."

Liu Yun gasped for breath, feeling as if her lungs were about to explode.

This big guy next to me is so heavy!

She felt like she wasn't pulling a person, but rather dragging a small mountain.

Every step required a tremendous amount of physical exertion.

If she hadn't completed her genetic awakening, she wouldn't even have felt able to pull the other person along.

"Can't you...can't you run by yourself?"

She couldn't help but turn around and call out.

But the shadow beneath the hood remained unresponsive.

Pan Gu was passively pulled along by her, taking heavy steps, his whole being still in a detached state.

Liu Yun was somewhat desperate.

Is this big guy an idiot?

The two of them ran like that, one pulling desperately and the other mechanically following, not knowing how far they ran or how many circles they went around.

Until there was absolutely no further movement.

Liu Yun then turned around and rushed in another direction.

next second.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

They rushed out of the woods and came to the middle of a small hill.

On the hillside, under a large, crooked tree, two figures were pacing anxiously back and forth.

When Pan Gu and Liu Yun came into their view, the two of them visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yunyun!"

A robust and composed young man strode forward to greet them.

Another slightly thinner young man followed behind, a look of relief on his face.

"Where did you go? You scared us to death!"

Upon seeing Liu Yun arrive, the two of them finally felt relieved.

"I...I shook off that group of Cracked Claw Apes." Liu Yun said, holding her knees, panting heavily.

After briefly inquiring whether Liu Yun was injured.

Their attention naturally fell on the huge figure next to Liu Yun, who was wrapped in a black robe from head to toe.

The atmosphere momentarily froze.

Zhang Hongguang looked Pan Gu up and down, full of vigilance.

"Who is this?"

Liu Yun caught her breath and waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly.

"I don't know, I ran into them on the way."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongguang was speechless.

He held his forehead, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

"You little rascal, I'm really impressed with you."

"It's one thing to pick up stray cats and dogs normally, but you dare to bring back a person from the wild?"

Liu Yun pursed her lips and muttered under her breath.

"What can we do then...?"

"The group of scimitar monkeys were chasing me at the time, but I accidentally led them into the place where he was."

"If I didn't drag him along, wouldn't I have gotten him killed?"

Faced with Liu Yun's confident retort, Zhang Hongguang was momentarily speechless.

He knew very well what kind of personality his cousin had.

At least in that situation, she simply couldn't bring herself to abandon someone and flee for her life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongguang could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Oh well, let's just keep bringing you back. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters.

He composed himself, nodded to Pangu, and gave him a fairly friendly smile.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Hongguang, and this is my friend, Li Chen."

He pointed to the thin young man next to him.

"This is my cousin, Liu Yun."

"I still don't know your name?"

Pan Gu's head, shrouded in black robes, twitched slightly.

After several seconds, a dull word, as if squeezed out from a crack in the rock, was slowly uttered.

"Pan Gu".

The scene fell silent once more.

Li Chen blurted out, "What a strange name."

He had barely finished speaking when Liu Yun next to him nudged him hard with her elbow.

"Ouch!"

Li Chen cried out in pain.

Liu Yun rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"It's just a game ID, what's so strange about it?"

"Who uses their real name anymore? Honestly."

Only after being reminded did Zhang Hongguang and Li Chen realize what was going on.

Yup!

Game ID!

Although changing one's name is quite expensive, costing 100 Source Crystals, many people still enjoy it.

Thinking about it this way, the eeriness of the black-robed figure in front of me seemed to have lessened considerably.

Zhang Hongguang smiled again, and his attitude became more familiar.

"So it's your ID, Brother Pangu, nice to meet you."

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier."

Pangu did not respond.

trouble?

No, not at all.

He was just dragged along for a while...
