Chapter 16 Danger
Jiang Yuan sat by the fire, the firelight shining on her face. She carefully picked up a large tile that she had washed, clamped it with a branch and placed it on the firewood pile. She then gutted and cleaned one of the fish that Da Miao had caught, and then fried it on the tile.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, her expression couldn't help but be serious. Then she took out a clean wooden stick, skewered the fish, and placed it about five centimeters away from the fire to roast.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head inadvertently and found that the rabbit demon was not only awake, but also looking at her with horror.

Jiang Yuan was a little confused. She frowned slightly and stood up. Then she walked in front of him, squatted down and said, "You're awake!"

Rabbit Man stared at her blankly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, but his expression was exceptionally kind. He asked, "Who are you? Why are you tying me up?"

"You lost too much blood and fainted beside the tree. My cat and I saved you." Jiang Yuan said happily, her lips curled up. After she finished speaking, she remembered the second question he asked, and added, "Of course I tied you up because I was afraid that you would repay kindness with enmity."

Rabbit Man looked at her carefully, then glanced at the big white cat behind her, and couldn't help but ask: "You, save me? Are you sure?"

"What else?" Jiang Yuan looked at the rabbit demon, who was tied up and could only lie on the ground, with some disbelief. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Look at this attitude of turning his back on me. Is he really going to repay kindness with enmity?"

Although it was a low whisper, Rabbit Hero heard it clearly. In an instant, he felt a heat rushing to his forehead and his face turned red.

He only remembered that he was seriously injured and fainted here. He thought he woke up because the demonic power in his body was running, but now it seems...

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Yuan and said seriously, "Thank you for saving me."

Jiang Yuan was a little curious about why he suddenly admitted that she was the one who saved him, but seeing that he looked extremely serious, she finally waved her hand generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just did it casually."

What she didn't say was that she had used up most of her energy in order to save him. Fortunately, there were a few tomatoes among the things sent by the villagers, so she took them out and ate them. After a good rest for a few hours, she finally recovered.

After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Rabbit Man's expression brightened, and he said, "Then can you untie me now?"

"No!" Jiang Yuan shook her head and said, "I'm still not sure whether you will hurt me and Da Miao. What if after I untie you, you decide to kill us?"

Rabbit Man couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jiang Yuan and said, "This question is simple, just wait!"

After that, he bit his lips, and blood gushed out in an instant. He said, "Gods above, I have..."

He got stuck after saying just two words. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan and asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Yuan."

After getting the answer he wanted, he nodded and continued, "Gods above, I am grateful to Jiang Yuan for saving me. If I hurt her in the future, I will repay her tenfold. I hope all the gods will bear witness to this."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, now you finally believe me, right?"

Jiang Yuan actually didn't immediately understand the meaning of his words. It was only after a while that she realized he was swearing.

I heard from Sister Guiyuan that there are gods and immortals in this world. As long as one sacrifices his own blood and swears an oath to the gods, if he breaks the oath, at best he will lose all his cultivation and turn back into an ordinary animal, at worst he will be struck by thunder and turned into ashes.

Jiang Yuan imagined the scene of everything turning to ashes, and she shuddered. She looked down at Rabbit Man, and she let down her guard against him. So she reached out and untied the black rope and vine that bound Rabbit Man...

There were a total of ten vines on his body, with ten knots tied on them. Although the black rope grass was difficult to break free, Jiang Yuan was able to untie the knots of the vines in no time.

After feeling that all the restraints on his body had disappeared, Rabbit Man stood up with a somersault and moved his wrists and ankles.

"I haven't asked for your name yet." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask as she looked at the Rabbit Hero who was a head taller than her.

"Just call me Rabbit Man." As he said that, he stood up, walked to his sword and picked it up.

Jiang Yuan said "Oh" to show that he understood, and then he suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed: "Oh, my fish."

After saying this, she turned around and tried to run back to the fire, but just as she took a step, a pair of claws grabbed her collar from behind.

The claw pulled her back several steps. Jiang Yuan tilted her head and saw that it was Rabbit Man. She thought he had disregarded his oath and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, you just swore an oath. Now you're breaking it. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Rabbit Hero had no time to explain, because as soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a shiny axe suddenly stabbed into the ground where they had just stood.

This is……

A cold sweat broke out on Jiang Yuan's forehead. If it weren't for the Rabbit Man pulling her back, even if she wasn't chopped in half by the axe, she would have been injured by the flying sand and rocks.

Thinking of this, she frowned and looked up into the air. There, in the direction where the axe came from, there was a black shadow standing upright!

Seeing that the axe missed, he flew forward dozens of meters and came to the sky above Jiang Yuan and the others. He stretched out a pair of pliers with white light lingering on them, echoing the white light on the axe.

But in an instant, the axe was pulled out of the soil shakily, and flew into the air the next second, and was clamped by the pliers surrounded by white light.

His entire body was wrapped in a black cloak, apparently he didn't want to reveal his identity. He was not tall, strictly speaking, he was a few centimeters shorter than Jiang Yuan.

Look at his two red pincers, they are very big, so big that even the cloak can’t cover them. And such a big pincer, holding a big axe, looks surprisingly harmonious.

I think these two pliers should be his hands!
Jiang Yuan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what kind of monster this was.

Just as she was lost in thought, the demon in the air finally spoke: "Rabbit Warrior, as long as you are willing to hand over the treasure that protects the clan, I will spare your life."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask him, "Is that someone you know?" But the next second, her pupils shrank slightly, as if she had just realized something, and she asked in shock, "Wait, what did he say? Do you have a treasure that can protect your clan?"

The Rabbit Hero did not answer her question. He just looked up at the demon in the air and said coldly, "Even if you didn't come to me, I would still seek revenge on you. Now that you've come to me, I don't have to make another trip!"
