Chapter 146: Going with the Flow
Chapter 146: Going with the Flow
Just as everyone secretly braced themselves, ready to put up a fight, the beautiful woman's voice suddenly rang out, "I'll do it. This Black God Sect cultist is probably after me. If I separate from you, I should be able to lead the hidden enemy away."
The beautiful woman stepped forward at this moment, showing great responsibility, which greatly improved Li Qian's impression of her.
He also agreed with the beautiful woman's statement. Although it was possible that the hidden Black God Sect cultists were after him, after some analysis, he realized that while the possibility existed, it was not very likely.
The Black God Sect did have reasons to target him, but it was unlikely that they would discover his whereabouts.
After all, he hadn't made any detailed plans for this trip; he only had a general direction.
The flight tickets to Zhonghai City were even purchased by the Mu family, and he himself didn't know beforehand that it would be this particular flight at this time.
Therefore, the possibility of the Black God Sect cultists ambushing him along the route was extremely low; it was most likely that they were targeting the beautiful woman before them.
As he thought this, the captain and the two female crew members hadn't said anything yet, but Li Qian had already spoken up, "Then it's decided."
"Uh..." The beautiful woman was stunned after hearing these words, obviously not expecting Li Qian's willingness to go with the flow to be so straightforward.
It was as if this was a natural and inevitable decision.
After she regained her composure, she gave Li Qian a peculiar look.
Logically speaking, in this situation, even without mentioning her appearance, if a woman volunteered to lure away the enemy, shouldn't the teammates fighting alongside her, including Li Qian, feel a sense of heroic sacrifice and deep regret if they eventually agreed?
Didn't he find it a little unreasonable and out of place?
"What's wrong?" After Li Qian casually suggested going with the flow, the other four were a bit taken aback, but Li Qian was completely unaware. He blinked and asked.
One of the female crew members looked at Li Qian, then at the beautiful woman, and said with some embarrassment, "Isn't what we're doing a bit too..."
Li Qian, after hearing this, had already thought of a reason, "Why hesitate? The hidden cultist is definitely after her. This beautiful sister has a complicated identity and must have some life-saving methods. If we stay here, it will only hinder her."
These words made sense, but coming from Li Qian's mouth, they seemed a bit odd.
As a result, even the captain was at a loss for words, "Well..."
Seeing that the captain and the two female crew members were still hesitating, Li Qian took the lead and walked forward, speaking decisively, "Stop hesitating. If you don't go, I'll leave first."
The beautiful woman quietly observed this scene, her lips twitching involuntarily. Indeed, she couldn't argue with her own words.
It was as if the one staying behind wasn't her but him.
If she hadn't witnessed Li Qian's initiative earlier, she would have doubted whether the person before her and the one from earlier were the same.
This sudden turn of events was a bit overwhelming for her.
Li Qian, unaware of the beautiful woman's thoughts, would have surely complained if he knew.
I'd rather stay inside the flying ship, but he knows that there's no safe haven under the shadow of the dragon.
If he doesn't come out to hold them off, it's likely that none of them will be able to escape.
Of course, there's also a bit of influence from the captain's fearless attitude.
Secondly, the current situation doesn't allow for much thinking.
Since the Black God Sect cultists are targeting her, it's best for her to draw the enemies away.
There's no need to waste time debating a correct decision here.
Lastly, this is the point that Li Qian is most confident about.
This beautiful woman before them has an extraordinary identity, and she must have some tricks up her sleeve.
If they stay, it'll only hinder her.
It's better to leave decisively.
Seeing Li Qian's determination to leave, the captain hesitates for a moment, "Then we..."
The beautiful woman notices the captain's hesitation, and without any intention of staying, she urges them, "You should leave quickly too!"
Li Qian's words may not be pleasant, but they do make sense.
It's better to let everyone else leave than to hesitate and linger here.
Just as Li Qian guessed, she indeed has more tricks up her sleeve.
Seeing the beautiful woman's determination, the captain doesn't say anything more. He gestures to the two female crew members and dashes towards the direction of Nandu City.
The captain's plan is simple: since the woman has chosen to stay and provide them with an opportunity to escape, they should quickly bring reinforcements and not let her sacrifice go to waste.
As Li Qian said, if she has tricks and backup, their reinforcements might be able to save her if they act quickly.
The four of them sprint towards the direction of Nandu City at full speed, the power of their battle armor suits maxed out once again.
As they leave, Li Qian turns back for a moment and notices that the two mutated River Turning Crocodiles and the Storm Falcon have already pounced towards the beautiful woman.
Even though the beautiful woman has summoned her three flying companion beasts, they still appear minuscule in front of the four terrifying Dominator-rank beasts.
Li Qian trusts his judgment and doesn't overthink it. He dashes out swiftly.
After running for about two to three kilometers, he glances at the captain and the two crew members nearby and reveals his plan, "Let's split up, I'll head east!"
Without waiting for a response, he sprints towards the east, a direction that isn't exactly opposite to Nandu City, but it's still relatively far off.
Li Qian acts this way for a reason.
He has judged that the beautiful woman's identity is not ordinary, and she must have backup plans. He, too, is well-prepared.
He also has extraordinary backup and tricks, including the self-destruct robot given to him by Professor Yan.
If it explodes, its power can rival a King-class pet beast's full-power attack.
The impact of such an explosion would be earth-shattering, so to ensure his own safety and facilitate his actions, it's best to split up from the captain and the two crew members.
