Chapter 137: Jumping Off a Cliff

The two of them kept retreating until they could no longer retreat.

"Run, keep running." The leader of the cannibals said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "You guys are running?" The cannibals kept approaching, looking at them with the eyes of a dead person, no, more precisely, looking at the dying prey.

"Leader, this female is pretty, why don't we catch her and let her give birth to cubs for us, and then eat her after she gives birth." Someone suggested, looking at Shen Xiaoxiao with a frivolous and proud look in his eyes.

Others also agreed. There were no females in their tribe. The captured females died after giving birth to cubs. The tribe had not had cubs for a long time. Now this female is so pretty, and the cubs she gave birth to must be pretty.

And this female seems to know a lot of things. If they catch her back, let her listen to them, and then teach them, then can they catch more people?

Even if she refused to teach them, it would not be a loss to capture her and bring her back to give birth to cubs.

Everyone agreed with this idea and thought it was a good idea.

Shen Xiaoxiao listened to them coldly, looking at them without any emotion.

Xiao Yan listened to what they said and wanted to go up and kill them, but he couldn't. Xiaoxiao was by his side, and he had to think twice before acting, so as not to drag Xiaoxiao down.

He turned his head to look at the cliff behind him, and then looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, are you afraid?"

Shen Xiaoxiao knew what he wanted to do, and agreed with his idea, shaking her head, "With you here, I'm not afraid." Compared to falling into the hands of these demons, she would rather jump off the cliff, at least there is a glimmer of hope. If she falls into their hands, she will only die. She has seen them share other people and hates them for doing so, and she doesn't want to be the one being shared.

Even if she jumps off the cliff and dies, at least she can leave a whole body.

Xiao Yan smiled, and the cannibal leader saw what they wanted to do, and shouted, "Catch them." But it was too late. Xiao Yan hugged Shen Xiaoxiao and jumped. When they rushed to the edge of the cliff, they could only see two figures falling down quickly.

"Damn it, you underestimated them." The leader said coldly, "Let's go." It's not that we didn't gain anything today. It was just a coincidence that we met them. Since they wanted to die, let them die. It's a bargain for them.

The cannibals left the cliff unwillingly.

Xiao Yan and Shen Xiaoxiao were hanging on a branch on the edge of the cliff. Xiao Yan saw this branch just now, so he jumped so happily. He calculated it accurately. They did fall on the branch, but he didn't calculate the size of the branch accurately. This small branch obviously couldn't bear the weight of the two people and had begun to break.

Shen Xiaoxiao was startled when she heard the sound and quickly shrank back, but it was too late. Xiao Yan fell down with the broken branch. Shen Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed his hand. She held the branch with one hand and Xiao Yan with the other, and tried to pull Xiao Yan up with all her strength.

But the branch was small, so she just held it firmly and didn't use much strength.

Besides, Xiao Yan had no place to lean on, so it was difficult for him to climb up.

"Hold me." Shen Xiaoxiao's veins on her hands and neck bulged, and she gritted her teeth.

Xiao Yan looked at her, "Xiao Xiao, let go."

Shen Xiaoxiao not only didn't let go, but held on tighter, "What nonsense are you talking about, hold on to me."

Xiao Yan shook his head gently, "If you continue like this, you will fall down with me, just let go."

"I won't." Shen Xiaoxiao said stubbornly, she wouldn't give up like this.

Xiao Yan's eyes were gentle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Shen Xiaoxiao stared at him and said sternly, "Xiao Yan, I don't allow you to do this, you dare." Xiao Yan didn't say anything, and pried her fingers apart one by one.

"No, Xiao Yan can't." Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes were red with tears, and her voice was stained with tears because of anxiety, "No."

"Xiao Xiao, you have to climb up by yourself, I believe you can do it." Xiao Yan looked at her reluctantly, then let go of her hand and fell down.

"Xiao Yan." Shen Xiaoxiao screamed, trying to grab him but caught nothing, "Bastard."

She didn't have time to be sad, and she looked around to see if there was anything that could help her get down. She saw a vine growing on the ground not far from the branch. She wanted to reach out to grab it but couldn't reach it. She broke off a branch to hook it, and reached carefully until the branch hooked the vine and then hooked the vine over with force.

When she could reach it with her hands, she abandoned the branches and pulled them over directly. Soon, the vines hanging on the cliff began to fall. She gathered all the vines in front of her, and then began to twist the vines into a rope. Soon, a long rope was twisted. Then she tied one end to the branch and the other to her waist, and then carefully climbed down the cliff.

But going down was not easy, especially in some places

where there was no foothold at all. She could only hold on to the cliff with her hands. She carefully reached down with her feet to reach for the protruding stones. She was relieved when she stood firmly, but she was not in a good mood when she looked at the bottom of the cliff below.

She lay on the cliff and wiped the sweat with her hands, but suddenly something unexpected happened. The stone under her feet was loose. She fell down before she could react, until she was hanging in the air and swaying. Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the rope was used up, but she had not reached the bottom yet.

Her eyes searched around and saw a tree nearby. She tried to get there, but she was always just a little short. She wanted to try again, but the feeling of falling to the ground came with it. Shen Xiaoxiao cursed in her heart, and then she fell down at a very fast speed, and then fell heavily to the ground through heavy branches.

She covered her chest and coughed. After a long time, she recovered and sat up. She untied the crushed backpack and the vines around her waist. She didn't have time to rest and hurriedly searched at the bottom of the cliff, "Xiao Yan-Xiao Yan-"

Her face looked a little ugly, and her chest and back ached, but she didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to find him quickly.

But she found the fallen knife, but she didn't even see Xiao Yan's shadow.

She forced herself to calm down. They fell in the same place. Even if there was a difference, it wouldn't be much. He should have fallen nearby, but why didn't she see anyone? Shen Xiaoxiao patted the tree trunk heavily with her hand, and suddenly she paused. Yes, maybe he fell into the tree.

Shen Xiaoxiao regained her confidence and started looking again. This time she only looked at the tree, but she looked around and couldn't find anyone. She couldn't help but get a little anxious and shouted loudly, "Xiao Yan——" and scared the birds on the tree away.

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Xiaoxiao's mind, and she even thought about whether he fell into the tree on the edge of the cliff.

Just when she was lost, a grass fell from the top of her head. She didn't care at first, but soon another one fell. She reacted immediately and raised her head in surprise, but she didn't see anything. She looked up through the branches and only saw that the branches were slightly bent.

She was happy in her heart and started climbing the tree without caring about anything else. Fortunately, this tree had many branches, so she didn't spend much effort to climb up.
