Seeing the huge shadow of the mutated mammoth coming over, Gu Bingying's heart sank to the bottom.
"call out!"
A sharp whistle came suddenly.
In her astonished gaze, a sharp dagger shot out like lightning, piercing through the mutated mammoth's head in an instant.
"puff!"
With a shower of blood, the mutated mammoth, which was still aggressive at first, froze in action.
But the dagger wearing the mutated mammoth head moved away in the blink of an eye, completely disappearing from her sight.
"Ouch!"
The mutated mammoth howled, and its huge body slowly fell downwards.
Gu Bingying finally woke up from a dream and hurriedly stepped back.
"boom!"
She had just avoided it when the mutated mammoth's huge body suddenly fell to the ground, the ground trembled, and waves of dust rolled in all directions.
On his head, there were now clear blood holes on the left and right, and blood was flowing out of them.
After falling to the ground, the mutated mammoth twitched violently for a while and then became motionless.
The vitality in his eyes also disappeared after a moment.
"how so?"
"what happened?"
"Who killed the mutated mammoth?"
After a short period of silence, everyone finally came to their senses, and all kinds of exclamations came one after another.
Gu Bingying, who had just escaped the disaster, also looked around blankly.
Although she knew someone had saved her life, she had no clue who it was that had done it.
The only thing she saw was the sudden appearance of the dagger.
The most shocking thing was that Ximen smiled!
Others may not know what happened, but the dagger that penetrated the mutated mammoth's head just now was like a brand, deeply ingrained in his memory.
When the Piaomiao Sect's outer sect was recruiting disciples, the rare-grade Yanyue Knife he bought at a huge expense was easily broken into two pieces by such a tiny dagger.
He looked around, as if trying to find the person in his imagination.
Sure enough, after a round of inspection, his eyes finally settled on an inconspicuous corner.
There, stood a young man!
He is handsome, gentle and elegant, and looks harmless to humans and animals.
At this moment, the boy was playing with a leaf, as if he had not heard anything about what had just happened.
"Ye, Ye Chen?"
Seeing the young man clearly, Ximen Xiao couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Although he had already guessed who the shooter was, after confirming it with his own eyes, he still found it very incredible.
If Ye Chen had not taken action just now, not only would the woman who had taken advantage of him to gain time to escape would not have been spared, but most of the people present would not have escaped the same misfortune.
Even if he himself can leave alive, it is still unknown!
"Bah bang bang!"
Just when he was about to step forward to salute Ye Chen, Ye Chen clapped his hands first.
"He is worthy of being the number one person in the outer sect of Piaomiao Sect. He is really powerful. He actually killed the sect-level high-level monster mutated mammoth with one move!"
While applauding, Ye Chen also smiled and winked at Ximen.
Ximen smiled for a moment, his face full of embarrassment.
Didn't you kill the mutated mammoth?
When did it become my credit?
As his thoughts whirled, he seemed to have remembered something again. He did not continue to salute Ye Chen, but continued to stand there, accepting the countless admiring looks from around him.
As early as in Brook Valley, Ye Chen had told him that he should hide his identity as much as possible along the way to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It's just that along the way, he really wasn't willing to remain unknown like this, so whenever he had the opportunity to become famous, he would reveal his identity.
Although he didn't dare to take the credit from Ye Chen, Ye Chen hinted it with his eyes, so he had no choice but to acquiesce.
"Did it turn out that Mr. Ximen took action?"
"I just saw him abandoning Miss Gu and running for his life. I thought he was greedy for life and afraid of death. It seems that I misunderstood him!"
"He must have been looking for the opportunity to kill with one strike just now!"
Because Ye Chen didn't stand up and admit it, and Ximen Xiao didn't deny it, everyone naturally gave Ximen Xiao the credit for killing the mutated mammoth.
"Master Ximen, thank you for saving me just now!"
Gu Bingying had no doubts, and hurriedly walked to Ximen Xiao, gave her a gift, and said shyly: "Little girl Gu Binying, a disciple of Xuantian Valley, I am lucky enough to meet the young master today, and this little girl will be lucky for the rest of her life!"
Ximen Xiao secretly glanced at Ye Chen. When he saw that Ye Chen had no expression, he just smiled and said, "It's a simple effort, don't take it too seriously!"
If it were him who killed the mutated mammoth, and Ye Chen wasn't here, he would definitely have to show off again.
After all, in the past few months in the outer sect of Piao Miao Sect, he had been suppressed by Ye Chen and Ye Chen's disciples, and he had been humiliated in public several times.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to show his face in front of others, how could he let it go?
"Young master, you are humble. If you hadn't taken action in time just now, the little girl might have suffered an accident!"
Gu Bingying's face was full of humility, and her heart was as excited as a deer.
At this moment, she felt that everything was like a dream, unreal to the extreme.
Because she finally realized her long-held wish and had the opportunity to talk face to face with the person she admired.
"Master Ximen, thank you for saving me!"
"There is no way I can repay this kindness and virtue!"
"If the young master has any mission in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water, even to the death!"
After everyone came back to their senses, they also came over and expressed their gratitude to Ximen Xiao.
But Ye Chen, who really took action, was ignored by everyone.
"It's a trivial matter, don't do this!"
Facing everyone's gratitude, Ximen Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he is not the one who saves people!
In addition, Ye Chen was watching not far away, and the compliments from everyone made him feel on pins and needles.
So after thinking about it, he simply said: "I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I won't say any more to you. I'll see you again when you have the chance. Farewell!"
After saying that, he turned around and left as if fleeing.
Gu Bingying felt disappointed for no reason.
Everyone also felt that they still had something to say.
It's just that Ximen Xiao left too fast, and before they had time to stop him, he had already slipped into the vast forest ahead.
"Since there's nothing else, let's continue on our way!"
When everyone looked at each other, Ye Chen finally stood up.
It turned out that it was okay that he didn't speak. As soon as he said this, countless contemptuous looks were cast from the surrounding people.
"Hmph, when there was danger just now, you ran faster than anyone else. Now that the crisis has been resolved by Mr. Ximen, are you trying to pretend to be serious again?"
"What I, Liu Tugou, hate the most in my life is this kind of clown who tries to impress people!"
"You don't see anyone at the critical moment, but then they pop up and act pretentious. It's so shameless!"
Not only the members of the Evil Tiger Mercenary Group, but also Gu Zhengze looked disdainful.
Along the way, his sister Gu Bingying was the most partial to Ye Chen.
However, when his sister was really in danger, Ye Chen couldn't even see her shadow.
This kind of person didn't deserve his respect at all, let alone her sister's full support.
