Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 982: Came Back to Save Him

They were all strangely shaped creatures, like primitive beasts or incompletely evolved dinosaurs.

They all stared at Susan Carter, and some even drooled, as if tempted by the deliciousness of Susan.

"Damn it!!"

Susan Carter’s whole body broke out in goose bumps.

He hurriedly thought of running toward the cave entrance; even if he’d freeze to death in the storm outside, he didn’t want to be torn apart by these monsters. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But the monsters had no intention of letting him go, and chased after him in an instant.

Minutes passed, and although Susan hadn’t reached the cave entrance, he was continuously dodging the monsters’ attacks.

Several times, when the monster’s foot came down, he narrowly saved his life by tumbling swiftly to the side.

But as time passed and his stamina drained, Susan quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

More and more wounds appeared on his body, and one of the monsters even picked him up and hurled him against the stone wall.

Just at the moment he was about to meet his end, a figure swiftly swept past, pulling the defeated and resigned Susan up from the ground.

When Susan regained consciousness, he caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance.

This is...

July Quinn’s scent!

When he turned around, he really saw July Quinn lighting several herbs.

The pungent smell not only cleared Susan’s head, but also made all those gigantic creatures disappear completely.

"What’s happening? How did they..."

Susan was dumbfounded.

Weren’t those colossal creatures just now baring their fangs and claws, trying to kill them?

How did they vanish into thin air with just the lighting of some herbs?

"It’s all just an illusion." July Quinn glanced at him coldly and said.

"Illusion? No way!"

Susan found it hard to believe; being slammed against the stone cave wall, feeling as if his bones would disintegrate, all felt so real, unlike an illusion.

"The whole mountain is covered in Mandrake Flowers; as soon as we set foot on it, it’s as if we were drugged. As for the real sensations you felt, they were just from us stumbling during our escape."

The so-called snowstorm just now was nothing more than Susan’s own illusion.

Mount Vorlag, veiled by Mandrake Flowers, serves as its self-protection barrier.

This way, the magical herbs growing inside are protected.

"Well... despite what I did to you earlier, you still came back to save me?"

Susan calmed down and suddenly felt a bit in awe of July Quinn.

Think about it, earlier, for the reward, he even shoved July Quinn toward the monsters.

Although it was ultimately proven that those monsters were illusions, his act of pushing July Quinn was undeniable.

Yet here was July Quinn, not holding any grudges, coming back to rescue him...

The more he thought about it, the more Susan felt unworthy as a person.

"You’re overthinking. I was just here to look for the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass."

At the cave entrance, July Quinn had already found several clumps of Nine Lives Resurrection Grass.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Susan’s screams from the cave, he casually lit a few herbs to dispel the scent of the Mandrake Flowers.

"But you still saved me."

Susan believed if he were in July’s place, he definitely wouldn’t have such magnanimity. Even if the other person was just poisoned by the Mandrake Flower, causing illusions, he wouldn’t risk a rescue, especially since the person had just endangered him.

But July Quinn...

The fact that Susan had behaved so atrociously yet July still saved him made Susan feel increasingly ashamed.

At this moment, July Quinn said: "Once we’re down the mountain, you can go back and be your bandit leader."

Susan: "..."
