Free Web NovelChapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Passing Through Peril
Jiang Xue moved quickly, reaching the landslide-blocked end of the road in half the time it took Old Wang.
By now, there were barely any people left on the road. After all, with the rain pouring so heavily, even with umbrellas, people were getting wet. So most people had gone back to their cars.
Whatever the case, it’s more comfortable inside the car.
Without a sideways glance, Jiang Xue passed those around and headed straight for the landslide. The few people who were chatting there saw her heading towards danger and immediately shouted, "Girl, come back quickly, it’s dangerous over there."
Hearing the shouting, Jiang Xue turned to glance at the person calling her and smiled, saying, "I’ll be careful."
But the person insisted, "Girl, it’s not about whether you’re careful or not. The rain is so heavy now, and although the landslide has stopped, there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again if this rain continues. Didn’t you see no one in the cars up front?"
"Brother Xie, I have something urgent and must get through," Jiang Xue thanked them and kept moving forward.
Before long, she reached the landslide area. The people who advised her saw she wouldn’t listen and said no more.
Jiang Xue paused at the landslide and asked the Little Fox in her space, "Little Fox, can you sense when this landslide might happen again?"
"Woman, I can’t sense it. But what that person said is right; you’d better not go ahead."
"No, Qian Cheng is on the other side, and I must get over. I have a premonition that Qian Cheng is in trouble."
Hearing Jiang Xue say this, the Little Fox stopped advising her and instead said, "Woman, if you’re going to go through the landslide, you’ll need to move fast."
"I know, don’t worry, I’ll get through as quickly as I can." Finishing, Jiang Xue stepped forward and walked onto the landslide’s mud.
However, the mud was thick and deep; as Jiang Xue stepped down, her foot sank halfway. Even though she was prepared, she couldn’t help but feel startled.
The Little Fox sensed Jiang Xue’s emotions in the space and immediately asked, "Woman, what’s wrong, what happened?"
"Nothing, nothing, the mud is so thick it startled me."
"I see, you need to be careful. The thick mud will inevitably slow you down."
"I know, I’ll be careful." Jiang Xue said, and took her second step, then the third, and the fourth.
The landslide area was wide, and although Jiang Xue tried to quicken her pace, the thick mud made it hard to move after a few minutes.
At this point, she had to infuse Spiritual Power into her feet, both to relieve fatigue and to speed up her steps. This way, her pace increased, and she was already halfway through the landslide.
Just a little more effort, and Jiang Xue could cross to the other side of the road. Recalling Old Wang’s earlier mention of the army coming to clear the landslide, but hearing nothing, she asked the Little Fox again, "Little Fox, is anyone clearing the road on the other side?"
The Little Fox quietly sensed for a moment, then said, "Woman, I can’t sense anyone. No one seems to be clearing the other side yet, although some vehicles are also stuck there."
"Alright, I got it." Jiang Xue nodded, lifted her foot again, and stepped down hard.
But just then, her foot suddenly slipped.
