Shi Mei dodged the knife's glare in dismay, her heart pounding.
The person wore a green mask and a green hat, blending into the trees behind them as if they were one.
Barely avoiding a strike, Shi Mei looked at the person and felt a vague sense of familiarity.
But it was just familiarity. Shi Mei was too busy dodging to think about anything else.
She saw Tang Gu stumbling as he fled and she yelled, "Call for help, save me!"
Tang Gu stiffened and turned around. His face showed hesitation, but he soon clenched his teeth and ran off quickly.
Right after Shi Mei's shout, she was caught off guard and brutally slammed to the ground.
The man clearly intended to leave her no chance of survival, he swung his knife with full force!
The rising morning sun shone through gaps in the branches. Golden speckles hit the sharp blade, dazzling the eyes.
Shi Mei tensed up, gasping for air.
In front of her was the sharp tip of the knife, aimed at her left eye.
If it struck, death was certain!
