Chapter 291 Ah Jin
Upon hearing this, A-Jin's feigned fierceness and wariness vanished, and she said earnestly, "I have no father or mother."
He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were stating something that had nothing to do with him.
Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
How can such a young child live alone in this desolate and dangerous no-man's-land?
She couldn't help but think of her own children, and felt a pang of heartache for the somewhat thin boy in front of her.
"So what do you usually eat? Living alone must be tough."
Chi Miao couldn't help but ask, his tone much gentler. As a father, he was always exceptionally soft-hearted towards his children.
Ajin, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, even a little annoyed by their nagging: "There's the sea over there, and snow-capped mountains over here. I have no worries about food and drink, so you don't need to worry about me." He casually pointed with his chin to the azure sea in the distance and the snow-white mountain ridge in the other direction.
This kid is quite ambitious.
Chi Miao and Yuan Xiao exchanged a glance, both seeing the heartache for the child in each other's eyes.
However, we must not forget our main business.
Chi Miao carefully considered his words before asking, "Ah Jin, we just wanted to ask if you've seen a little girl around here? Um... about... this tall."
He gestured with his hand to indicate Chi Qianqian's height. "She's very pretty, with big eyes and beautiful long curly hair. She looks about eight or nine years old. Her name is Qianqian."
Upon hearing Chi Miao's description, especially the name "Qianqian," A Jin's expression changed drastically.
The slight relaxation of vigilance that had occurred earlier due to discussing his background instantly returned, even more so than before.
Why are you asking this?
Ajin's voice suddenly rose, filled with defensiveness and seemingly a bit flustered.
His reaction startled both Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao.
Something's wrong with him!
This child has definitely met Qianqian.
Moreover, his reaction was far more than just "having seen it before".
Yuan Xiao's heart pounded. She suppressed her excitement and exchanged a glance with Chi Miao.
The two understood tacitly that they could no longer try to extract information from each other slowly.
This boy named Ajin is extremely wary. If you continue to ask him questions, you will not only get nothing out of him, but you may also anger him.
Rather than...
A plan flashed through Yuan Xiao's mind in an instant.
She slightly moved her fingers, signaling Chi Miao to cooperate.
It happened in the blink of an eye!
A resolute glint flashed in Yuan Xiao's eyes. She suddenly raised her foot and kicked with all her might at A Jin's wrist, which was holding the spear.
At the same time, Chi Miao moved slightly, preparing to subdue A Jin the moment the spear left his hand while A Jin was distracted by the attack.
They have excellent chemistry and will surely be able to work together seamlessly.
This surprise attack was perfectly timed and angled, more than enough to deal with a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
boom!
A muffled thud.
Yuan Xiao felt as if her toes had struck an incredibly hard block of iron, the impact causing her foot bones to ache.
Ah Jin's wrist, gripping the spear, remained perfectly still.
Even the expression on his face didn't change at all; only a hint of "I knew it" and a faint mockery flashed in his eyes.
Yuan Xiao: This...how is this possible?!
She clearly... clearly had already secretly activated her "infinite strength" ability, although she hadn't used it to its full potential, she had used it to about 70 or 80 percent of its potential.
With her current strength, she could easily break a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, so how could she not even budge a boy's wrist?!
This is unreasonable!
Just as Yuan Xiao paused slightly in shock, A Jin moved.
His wrist flicked and trembled with incredible dexterity.
The black spear split apart instantly, as if by magic.
It wasn't a break, but a real split.
In the blink of an eye, the long spear transformed into two slightly shorter, but equally gleaming, black short spears.
The pole remained firmly planted against Chi Miao's waist.
The other rod, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, suddenly pointed at Yuan Xiao's throat.
The tip of the gun was no more than a centimeter away from her skin.
The cold, sharp edge made the hairs on the back of Yuan Xiao's neck stand on end.
Wow...this child's reaction is so fast...
It was faster than either of them had anticipated.
"You're not being honest! You're not being honest either!"
Ah Jin's voice turned cold, filled with offended anger, "Even you tried to ambush me! It seems you really aren't good people!"
With a slight flick of his wrist, the tips of the two short guns approached the vital points of Chi Miao and Yuan Xiao respectively, forcing them to stop making any further moves.
"Hmph... Tie them all up..."
Ah Jin snorted, her tone like she was scolding a disobedient little animal.
He quickly made several strange hand gestures with his free hand while muttering incantations.
The next moment, some dark green seaweed-like plants flew out of his body, as if they had suddenly come to life.
They suddenly sprang up, like living tentacles, and flexibly wrapped around Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao's limbs and bodies.
These "seaweed" are exceptionally tough, with a slippery and sticky surface. They wrap around others extremely quickly and with tremendous force.
Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao were caught off guard, and with the gun pointed at them, they dared not struggle too much. In the blink of an eye, they were tied up tightly, wrapped from head to toe like two green rice dumplings, with only their heads showing.
"Ugh!" Yuan Xiao tried to struggle, but found that the more she struggled, the tighter the "seaweed" rope became.
Chi Miao was in the same boat at this moment.
He also tried to manipulate the seawater to soften the seaweed, but found that it seemed to have lost its power and didn't work at all.
This shocked them both even more.
This boy named Ajin not only possesses astonishing strength, but also demonstrates remarkable abilities at such a young age, something that ordinary children could never achieve.
At this moment, Yu Mo saw everything clearly from the shadows, and his cold, vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
He was almost about to make a move, but unfortunately, Ah Jin moved too quickly, and he didn't know where to start.
Moreover, the child's special abilities made him hesitant to act rashly, fearing that he might hurt Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao, who were bound.
More importantly, he vaguely sensed an extremely ancient and primal power emanating from this young man, an aura that even made him feel a little uneasy.
Just who is this young man?
Seeing that the two were tied up and unable to move, Ajin loosened her grip a little.
He retrieved the two short guns, casually stuck them into the ground behind him, and then walked around behind Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao to stand in front of them.
He first crossed his arms and looked Chi Miao up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on Chi Miao's eyes, which shimmered with a faint blue light even in the dim light, and on the tiny, fin-like lines behind his ears.
