Chapter 448: A hero saves a beauty? ?

He would only ever think about doing something so suicidal; actually doing it was absolutely out of the question.

At this moment, the most important thing was to find a place to stay, preferably somewhere inhabited, so he could ask for some useful information.

Liang Yu currently had only two choices.

He cast his gaze towards the coast, where waves surged and crashed against the shore’s reefs.

Searching along the coast might lead him to fishermen who made a living from fishing, from whom he could obtain useful information, find the correct direction, and understand this place.

But the coastline was silent, with no sign of boats, let alone fishermen.

His other option was to move away from the coast, in the opposite direction.

After a short consideration, Liang Yu decided to take the path away from the coast.

As for searching along the coastline, he had no intention of giving up on that either.

He took Mario out of his backpack, activated him, gave him some firearms, ammunition, and a vehicle for transportation, then entrusted him with this task.

Once everything was arranged, Liang Yu looked at Mario with a serious expression, his gaze filled with an unquestionable resolve.

“You are to depart immediately. Be sure to be extremely careful.”

Mario nodded slightly, his eyes showing courage, and he turned to embark on his journey without hesitation.

Watching Mario’s retreating figure, Liang Yu did not follow.

He stood quietly in place, and after a moment, took out a small, exquisite drone from his backpack. The drone shimmered with a metallic luster in the sunlight, like a mysterious sharp weapon.

After checking, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, finding that the drone was unaffected here and could be used normally.

He skillfully operated the remote control in his hand, and the drone emitted a faint buzzing sound as it slowly ascended into the sky.

Like an agile bird, it steadily flew in the direction Mario had departed, quickly disappearing from Liang Yu’s sight. Through the transmitted footage, the drone was already closely following behind Mario.

Liang Yu did this not because he doubted Mario’s capabilities.

After Mario separated from him, he walked alone along the coast.

Liang Yu was very curious if Mario, without the protection of the Bronze Lantern’s black light, would be attacked by some unknown creatures or monsters on this seemingly calm coast.

The waves gently lapped at the beach, making a monotonous sound, but to his ears, the sound transmitted back from the drone seemed to hide the whispers of some mysterious creature.

He scanned the sea surface with the drone’s camera, seeing only one undulating wave after another. He did not find any monsters he was worried about suddenly leaping out of the water to attack Mario.

After following for a while longer, and finding no abnormalities along the way, Liang Yu recalled the drone and prepared to set off himself.

After recovering the drone, Liang Yu directly ascended into the air and flew in the opposite direction of the coast.

He held the Bronze Lantern in his hand and flew through the air for an unknown amount of time, quickly entering the forest.

The moment he stepped into this forest, it was as if he had entered another world, quiet yet with a hint of strangeness.

Light filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows like a broken puzzle spread on the ground.

The trees around him varied in shape; some had twisted and winding branches, like monstrous claws; others intertwined, forming natural barriers.

Occasionally, a night bird would take flight, its flapping wings unusually loud in the silence.

However, the more it was like this, the more Liang Yu felt there was a problem.

It was such a large forest, and he had been in it for so long, yet he had only heard some bird calls, which he found very unreasonable.

Just as this thought arose, suddenly, a cold wind blew, making the lantern sway from side to side, and the black light within it flickered erratically.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the lantern, summoned the Aurora Shield to protect the Bronze Lantern, and warily looked around.

It seemed as if something was lurking in the shadows, watching him, but upon closer inspection, there was only the silent forest.

After pausing for a short while, Liang Yu still couldn’t find the source of that gaze.

Even when he activated his Emperor Magnetic Field, within a three-hundred-meter radius, he found nothing.

So he could only put away his Emperor Magnetic Field and brave the forest, walking deeper inside.

He walked for an unknown period, surrounded by a silence broken only by his own footsteps, when suddenly, a faint commotion reached him from ahead.

At first, the sound was very faint, as if drifting from a distant place, but as he approached step by step, the sound became clearer.

Curiosity and vigilance surged within Liang Yu, and he quickened his pace to get there.

Upon reaching the source of the sound, Liang Yu concealed himself in the nearby trees, quietly observing the scene through the dappled branches and leaves.

Three men spread out in a fan shape, their faces fierce, pressing closer step by step towards the Military Uniform Woman.

The woman looked wary, her clear eyes showing resolve; despite being surrounded, she showed no sign of panic.

Her posture was tall and straight, and although her military uniform was a bit disheveled, it still couldn’t hide her dashing heroic spirit.

She tightly gripped a short knife, its blade glinting with a cold light, as if speaking of its owner’s unyielding spirit.

The three men cursed and brandished their weapons, trying to subdue the woman.

When the four figures slowly appeared in his field of vision, he couldn’t help but tense up, wondering why there were people in this place.

Moreover, aside from their sudden appearance in the forest, he couldn’t find a single flaw with these four people.

This made Liang Yu feel increasingly bizarre.

Therefore, his first reaction was not to intervene and help someone in distress, like in TV shows or novels, to enact a hero saving the beauty scene.

He stood quietly to the side with his arms crossed, a faint smile playing on his lips, watching the farce before him with interest, as if he were an outsider, merely a spectator.

The three men, like hungry wolves, continuously attacked the Military Uniform Woman.

They cooperated tacitly, outflanking her from different directions, attempting to completely subdue her.

Although the woman was agile, facing the encirclement of the three, she gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

The leading man was tall and built, each punch carrying a strong gust of wind, heading straight for the woman’s face.

The woman dodged to the side, the punch grazing her cheek, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

The other two also seized the opportunity, one kicking at her lower body, and the other reaching out to grab her arm.

The woman narrowly avoided them, but was still grazed on her arm by the man’s fingertips, leaving a shallow scratch.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with resolve, constantly searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

But the three men’s offensive was like a tide, pressing her down relentlessly.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her forehead, and her breathing became rapid.

The three men did not use their weapons; Liang Yu could tell they intended to capture the person in front of them alive.
