Jiang Fan looked at the front and swallowed, as if he had already indicated how terrified he was of the gorilla in front of him.
Anyone who saw this colossal gorilla would feel extremely frightened, as it was at least five or six stories tall. With a mere flick of its finger, it could instantly kill Jiang Fan or Yao without any suspense.
Suddenly, the gorilla launched an attack on Jiang Fan and the others.
It let out a mighty roar and pounded its chest.
The impact was immense.
Having recognized the two as the murderers of its companion, the gorilla launched a fierce assault on Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan was bewildered; not only was the gorilla enormous, but it was also incredibly fast, unlike what he had imagined. He had initially thought he could use his speed advantage to toy with the gorilla and then find an opportunity to kill it, but he never expected it to be this powerful.
"What should we do? Its speed is far greater than ours. Trying to overpower it with speed is basically impossible. Even my speed cannot match its. Moreover, gorillas are inherently excellent climbers, so your skills are useless here," Yao exclaimed.
How could Yao not know? He was being pursued by the now-targeted gorilla. Despite constantly using his skills to traverse walls and move agilely, he still couldn't escape the gorilla's pursuit. Gorillas naturally possessed formidable climbing abilities, making it virtually impossible to show off skills in front of it. Its sheer size meant it could reach him with a mere stretch, let alone its advanced climbing techniques.
"Do you think I don't know? Hurry and think of a solution. I'm out of ideas. If we continue like this, I'll be killed soon. It's slowly catching up."
Upon witnessing this, Jiang Fan felt an extreme sense of dread. If the gorilla were to attack Yao, Yao would surely die. Fortunately, the gorilla was only in pursuit and hadn't caught up yet; if it had, Yao would be dead. Jiang Fan immediately began to ponder, and at this moment, the only thing he could think of was vines.
"There's no other way now. I'll go get Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei to help. I need to use the vines they have to attack this thing. Otherwise, neither of us will survive. Can you hold on a bit longer?"
Yao immediately understood when he heard Jiang Fan's words. If Jiang Fan were to rush in and kill the gorilla, it would be an impossible feat. Now, only the vines could come into play.
"Hurry up, don't mind me, just go get the vines. Otherwise, I'll die too. Don't worry too much; I can hold on for now."
Hearing Yao's words, Jiang Fan became very worried because he knew that even under immense pressure, Yao wouldn't complain and would just endure. If there was a single mistake, Yao would be devoured by the gorilla. Thus, Jiang Fan raced back as fast as he could. At this moment, Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei were anxiously waiting nearby, their hearts filled with fear as they heard the constant roars from within the cave.
"What should we do now? Should we just wait here? Or should we go help? The thing inside is too big, and I'm worried Jiang Fan and Yao might get hurt. What do you think?"
The two girls pondered anxiously, deeply concerned about the two main combatants. Gun Gun, the dog, was also restless, pacing and pawing at the ground, wanting to rush in, but Zhou Niannian always held him back, causing him great distress and helplessness.
Seeing Gun Gun's continued agitation, Zhou Niannian decided she could wait no longer. She directly pulled Gun Gun along, preparing to enter the cave. Just then, Jiang Fan's heavy, gasping breaths reached them.
"Quickly give me your vines! I need to fight now, or Yao is finished! Hurry, don't delay any longer!"
Jiang Fan's rapid words completely startled Zhou Niannian. She quickly handed the vines from Dai Xiaomei to Jiang Fan. Grabbing the vines, Jiang Fan immediately ran back into the cave. Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian only exchanged a brief glance before Jiang Fan disappeared from her sight, leaving Zhou Niannian very confused. After glancing at Gun Gun, she decisively rushed inside.
Seeing Zhou Niannian rush in, Dai Xiaomei didn't hesitate either and charged in, wanting to assist Jiang Fan. However, Yao and Jiang Fan were already severely injured and had no ability to fight back. Yet, they continued to resist. But Jiang Fan's timely arrival prevented Yao from dying earlier.
However, after Jiang Fan arrived, the outcome seemed unchanged. It only slowed down the time it took for the two to be injured. Now, both of them could no longer withstand the gorilla's attacks, as the gorilla was simply too powerful, and its massive size completely overwhelmed their strength.
"I never thought we would die here. There's no way out now. We've fought with all our might. If we try to stand up again, the result will be the same; we'll just fall back down. Let's just wait here to die; it might be a quicker end. One stomp from it and we'll be gone." After saying this, Jiang Fan listened and smiled faintly, having no objection to what Yao said. It was already their most fortunate way to die if they could be crushed to death by the gorilla's foot.
It's truly detestable that we're going to be killed by some small animals in the end, and mutated small animals at that. It's simply too unsatisfying. I thought humans were the most powerful beings in the world, but there are creatures far more powerful than us.
