Novel Full Chapter 726: Raining</em>
Except for the battle that broke out at the very beginning…
Gu Qingjiu rested on a tree some distance away from the central valley area.
She was lucky that apart from bumping into some small animals; she didn’t encounter any fierce beasts and pythons.
Besides the female competitor initially, no other people were seen to have met with this problem.
Dawn gradually arrived. Gu Qingjiu hid under a thick foliage of a tree branch.
Her eyes were wide open as she looked out.
Suddenly, a wild monkey popped out with a swish.
Gu Qingjiu and the monkey stared at each other.
The monkey was a small one, staring at Gu Qingjiu with round wide eyes, a hand holding onto the tree branch while standing on the trunk.
“Rumble…”
Suddenly, the weather, which had been quite good, seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
There was a disturbing sound coming from the clouds.
The little monkey squeaked a few times before disappearing behind the branches in two or three hops.
It was going to rain!
Just as this thought flashed across Gu Qingjiu’s mind, a ‘crash—boom!’ accompanied it.
A sky shaking with thunder.
The rain poured down!
The tropical rainforest climate is usually rainy and humid.
But it was rare for the weather to become worse as such.
Gu Qingjiu frowned and quickly jumped down from the tree.
She could stand the dark, but not the thunderstorm.
The sound of rain was unceasing, accompanied by the roars of thunder.
No matter who, this weather condition would affect their visibility and auditory judgment.
Sharpshooters would choose to retreat.
When Gu Qingjiu was around there last night, there was a cave. She was planning to return to that place to hide from the rain.
Since she couldn’t shower for three days, this rain in this humid climate would cost her life.
The clothes on her were not waterproof either.
She hurried over. Fortunately, the branches over her head with lush foliage provided her with some form of shelter.
It was just not as comfortable as being in the cave.
As Gu Qingjiu dashed, she suddenly saw a rapid shadow dashing towards her.
So fast that it was only seconds later that Gu Qingjiu could see that it was a tiger behind the screen of rain!
Her expression changed, but she did not lose her composure.
She did not slow down in her footsteps and even sped up into a faster sprint.
The tiger was fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already close to Gu Qingjiu.
It opened its enormous mouth; one could see the razor-sharp fangs with traces of saliva!
Gu Qingjiu glared fiercely at it. Using her strength to jump higher than the pouncing tiger, she stepped directly on top of its head and used the momentum to jump over it!
—Splat!
She landed in the mud. Gu Qingjiu didn’t even pause for a moment before sprinting forward.
The tiger was confused for a moment after Gu Qingjiu had stepped on the top of its head, and it fell flat onto the ground.
After getting back up, it looked at Gu Qingjiu. It hesitated a little, eventually deciding to not chase after her, and ran back to the central valley.
Gu Qingjiu did not turn back, nor did she hear any sound of pursuit behind.
Inwardly, she was relieved because she was running at a fast speed. She headed back to yesterday’s location.
But before she arrived, Gu Qingjiu saw a blurred black figure at the cave from afar.
It was a person!
She stopped instantly and crouched.
With a gun in her hand, she shot in that direction.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Two shots, the opponent on the other side quickly fired in Gu Qingjiu’s direction.
Bullets flew over her head, and the other party dodged in an instance as well.
However, Gu Qingjiu shot twice.
What was unthinkable was Gu Qingjiu’s ability to hit moving targets with little thought.
Shot at the same time, but the angle allowed her to hit the target.
Oof!
