Chapter 9: I'm Really Being Targeted

The group of three did not stop at all and walked for half a day.

It was not until it got dark that Ding Huan in front stopped by a waterfall.

In Ding Huan's opinion, the Great Wilderness Golden Ape should not be able to catch up here. The Great Wilderness Golden Ape is scary, but it is just a young ape.

"I really can't walk anymore." Seeing Ding Huan stop, Liu Aimee who was following behind him said breathlessly, then fell to the ground.

Qin Yi couldn't even utter a word, and sat on the ground like Liu Aimee.

At this moment, Qin Yi no longer had the coldness she had when Ding Huan first met her. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn in many places, and her face was covered in bloodstains.

Liu Aimei panted and said, "We are lucky. We didn't encounter any other ferocious beasts."

Ding Huan knew that this was not just luck. When he led the way, he consciously avoided places where ferocious beasts might appear.

"Rest here today. There is a cave behind the waterfall. You can eat something later and leave tomorrow."

After Ding Huan finished speaking, he took out some beef jerky and biscuits from his backpack and handed them to the two men.

“Thank you, thank you…” Liu Aimei, who was already starving, quickly accepted the gesture and thanked him.

"Thank you." After half a day of escape, Qin Yi finally calmed down.

After eating, they recovered some strength, and Liu Aimee asked, "I don't even know your name. If it weren't for you, Yiyi and I would probably be dead."

"My name is Ding Huan. Since you are trapped, why don't you call for help?" Ding Huan asked puzzledly.

Logically speaking, Qianluo Mountain stretches for thousands of miles and the terrain is not steep, so it should not be too difficult to ask for help.

Liu Aimei shook her head, “Yiyi’s phone was out of battery, and I don’t have much energy at home, so it was Qiaoyi who called for help.

I don't know why no one has come to rescue since Joey made the call."

"It's very likely that Joey didn't make the call for help." Qin Yi whispered beside him.

"How is this possible?" Liu Aimei said subconsciously.

It’s no wonder she didn’t believe it. They were facing a life-and-death situation. How could they not call for help?

Ding Huan understood what Qin Yi meant. A woman like Qin Yi is usually pursued by countless people, so she understands the mentality of those suitors.

Joey certainly cannot be with Qin Yi often. This time he finally gets the chance, so naturally he wants to stay with Qin Yi for a while longer.

So I didn’t call, or rather I postponed the call.

Perhaps in Joey's opinion, hiding in the cave was a safe bet. As for asking for help, he could always dial this number.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Bai Chuanqiang was torn to pieces by the giant ape, and he himself fled deep into the cave in panic.

If the giant ape returns again, Joey will be in great danger. Of course, he can also call for help.

Qin Yi did not answer Liu Aimee's words. Instead, she turned to Ding Huan and said, "Is your last name Ding too? You and Baiyu Group..."

Ding Huan didn't wait for her to finish her words and said calmly, "I have nothing to do with Baiyu Group."

Baiyu Group was about to collapse, and Ding Huan didn't want to get himself involved.

"Oh..." Qin Yi said "oh" and didn't say anything else.

"Brother Ding, what medicinal herbs are you looking for when you enter Qianluo Mountain?" Liu Aimee asked.

She didn't really want to ask Ding Huan what medicinal herbs he was looking for, but she wanted to get to know Ding Huan through this.

In her opinion, Ding Huan must not be well off since he came to Qianluo Mountain alone to look for medicinal herbs.

If she could help Ding Huan, she wanted to find a way to help Ding Huan after leaving Qianluo Mountain this time.

"I have found it. They are just some simple medicinal herbs. Let's rest early today and then leave Qianluo Mountain early tomorrow morning." Ding Huan answered casually.

He had no interest in chatting with these two women. After he got out, the first thing he did was to find a way to complete his genetic roots.

As for why Ding Baishan disappeared after going to Qin's house, it was meaningless to ask Qin Yi about this matter. It would be better for him to go to Qin's house and investigate it himself in the future.

This was the first night after escaping the cave, and Ding Huan was still a little worried.

He knew that the Great Wilderness Golden Ape had a strong desire for revenge, and if he failed to find the few people in the cave, it might chase after them.

Fortunately, Ding Huan and his two companions were lucky. After a night, the giant ape did not chase them.

At dawn the next day, the three of them set off in a hurry.

For Qin Yi and Liu Aimee, every day they stayed in Qianluo Mountain would increase the danger.

For Ding Huan, if he stayed in Qianluo Mountain for one more day, he would waste one day of practice time. After spending just over a day with Ding Huan, Liu Aimee and Qin Yi deeply felt the difference.

When the four of them were together before, the first two days were fine, but after that they often went hungry one day.

Even if they did prepare food, it was just some simple fish or some wild vegetables.

Now that I am with Ding Huan, even if I am in a hurry to travel during the day, every time it is time for dinner, Ding Huan can accurately find all kinds of delicious food, including various mountain fish, wild fruits and some game.

These are nothing. What surprised Liu Aimee and Qin Yi the most is that Ding Huan can always find a safe place to hide when it gets dark.

Either in a cave or in a place covered by huge rocks.

"Ding Huan, how come you are so familiar with Qianluo Mountain? Do you come here often?" On the third day, Liu Aimee finally couldn't help but ask.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "Yes, I often go into the mountains, so I am very familiar with this area. It's the same for you. You will become familiar with the mountains after walking there for a long time."

Ding Huan was talking nonsense. He had never been to Qianluo Mountain. Even in his previous life, he only wandered around the outskirts of Qianluo Mountain.

This is also not something that can be understood by just walking in the mountains for a long time. Ding Huan can understand this entirely based on intuition and experience.

He can find food and the right way out based on the growth patterns of trees, flowing water, the amount of moisture in the air, and even the habits of various insects in the grass.

After hearing Ding Huan's words, Liu Aimee and Qin Yi didn't think much about it. They had no experience in this and felt that what Ding Huan said should be right.

The location of the three people was not deep in Qianluo Mountain, and Ding Huan had no intention of staying, so he hurried on his way every time. In the past two days, he had already found all the medicinal materials needed for the wood gene spiritual roots, and went back to try it out first.

At noon on the third day, they finally walked out of Qianluo Mountain and saw the mountain road in the distance.

"We got out." Liu Aimei screamed excitedly.

"You two, let's say goodbye here." Ding Huan was in no mood to continue staying with these two women.

"Ding Huan, thank you for this time. If it weren't for you, we might not be able to get out. How about we go back to Heluo City and get together."

Liu Aimei calmed down and spoke sincerely.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "You can get out of this just as easily without me, it's just a matter of time. I have some things to do, so I won't go with you."

"Let's exchange contact information." Liu Aimee said hurriedly when she saw that Ding Huan was still leaving.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "I guess we won't meet again. See you later."

It’s not that Ding Huan didn’t want to leave his contact information, it’s just that he couldn’t remember his own phone number at all.

In addition, Ding Huan didn't want the other party to know that he was at Yujiang University, so he simply didn't bother to talk nonsense.

Seeing Ding Huan's receding back, Liu Aimee sighed and said, "This Ding Huan is really capable. He is much better than Qiao Yi and..."

She originally wanted to say Bai Chuanqiang, but when she thought of Bai Chuanqiang's miserable end, she didn't say his name after all.

Qin Yi looked at Ding Huan who was leaving and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go and ask for help quickly. Joey is still in that cave."

Ding Huan had been away for only a dozen minutes when he heard a roar and two helicopters flew overhead.

It should be Joey asking for help. This is probably a rescue. Ding Huan ignored it. He wanted to return to Heluo City quickly.

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Huan entered Heluo City.

Ding Huan was anxious to refine the spiritual root gene potion, so he planned to take a taxi to Yujiang University as soon as he arrived in Heluo City. If Yujiang University was going to close down again, there must be a genetic laboratory.

But before he reached the gate of Yujiang University, Ding Huan calmed down.

The reason why he left Yujiang University overnight was because someone wanted to kill him. If the other party was still targeting him, wouldn't he be walking into a trap if he went back now?
No matter what, he still had to go back to Yujiang University. If he wanted to produce spiritual root genes, he could only do so at Yujiang University.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan bought some food, covered himself tightly, and then came to the back wall of Yujiang University. He was going to climb over the wall to enter the school.

There were hardly any people at Yujiang University right now, and the security guard couldn't do much except sleep, so Ding Huan estimated that he should be able to enter the school easily.

The fact was just as Ding Huan expected, he returned to Yujiang University with almost no effort.

Ding Huan stopped outside his residence. He knew that someone had entered his residence and the signs outside had been tampered with.

It turned out that someone wanted to kill him, and was very determined to do so, otherwise they would not have chased him to Yujiang University.

Ding Huan didn't even put down his things. He picked up his bag and went to the genetic laboratory. He had to try to make spiritual root genes first.

Those people would never have thought that he not only entered Yujiang University, but was even in the genetic laboratory of Yujiang University.

Since he couldn't find the blood of reincarnation, he would try using his own blood as a substitute. If that didn't work, he would think of another way.
