Cao Yunjin was very surprised to see Su Shanshan. He thought that she had died in City M. There was a group of men behind him. It was the bodyguard team that was escorting Liu Zhixi.
Su Shanshan nodded and greeted them. She asked, “Why are you together?”

Seeing how familiar they were with the black dog, Su Shanshan asked in surprise.

Cao Yifan, who was behind Cao Yunjin, jumped out. Ever since he got rid of that woman, Liu Zhixi, he had regained his cheerful personality. He explained, “After you were taken away by that bodyguard, we left City M in advance and avoided disaster. We witnessed the collapse of City M. We waited outside
the city for a few days but did not see you all. We thought you were dead.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by Cao Yunjin. “What do you mean by dead? How could you say that!”

$u Shanshan shook her head to indicate that it was fine. She frowned and pondered. Was the bodyguard he was talking about Gu Zhao? Was it Gu Zhao who had taken her away back then? She felt that something was off, but she did not think too much about it.

Cao Yunjin continued, “Back then, while waiting for you all, we saw Wind Leopard with a black rock hanging from its mouth. These army guys snatched it and that was why we chased after their truck.”

When the black dog, whom they had named Wind Leopard, heard this, a hint of fierceness flashed across its eyes. It glared fiercely at the black car behind the military truck. The people in the car step back involuntarily.

A girl was helping an old man with white hair out of the car. The thing in the old man’s hand made Su Shanshan’s eyes widen. She immediately asked, “What are you holding?”

This old man was an important member of the convoy, Dr. Zheng. Beside him was his granddaughter, Zheng Xiaowei.

The two of them had seen Su Shanshan’s strengths. Dr. Zheng nodded slightly and said, “We detected abnormal energy fluctuations, that was why we came here. There’s no conclusive evidence yet, but I think this is an extraterrestrial meteorite. This thing is very important to us humans.”
Of course, he could tell that this powerful young man knew the black dog, so he got out of the car and explained. “As long as I take this rock back and study it, I might be able to find a way to save all mankind.”

It suddenly dawned on Susan that this Dr. Zheng was probably the scientist who picked up an extraterrestrial meteorite in her previous life. However, she had seen that scientist once in her previous life. At that time, he looked very different from how he was now.

If this rock is an extraterrestrial meteorite, what’s the thing near my chest? Could it be that there were two extraterrestrial meteorites in my previous life?

She had all sorts of questions in her heart. One day, these questions would be answered. She had other problems to deal with now. She looked at Wind Leopard, who was standing beside her, grimacing. Then she looked at Dr. Zheng’s sincere expression and frowned.

Of course, Dr. Zheng could tell that she was in a difficult position. He gave his granddaughter a look.

Zheng Xiaowei quickly took out a small box from her pocket. She looked at Wind Leopard awkwardly and approached it carefully. Just as she took a step closer, she heard Wind Leopard’s low growls. Zheng Xiaowei was so scared that her face turned pale and she took a few steps back.
Su Shanshan tapped Wind Leopard’s head and it quietened down.

Zheng Xiaowei looked at Su Shanshan gratefully before approaching it again. She said, “That rock is very important to us. We want to exchange this for that, okay?”

She opened the box and saw a level-four wind-type crystal core.

Wind Leopard looked at this crystal core and tilted his head as if it was thinking about something. After a while, it walked to Zheng Xiaowei’s side, lowered his head, picked up the crystal core, and turned around to return to Cao Yunjin’s side.

Zheng Xiaowei took a deep breath. When it came close just now, her back was covered in cold sweat.

The next second, the quiet Wind Leopard suddenly growled again. It looked into the distance and Su Shanshan tightened her grip on the Tang sword.

Xing Yusen walked up to her and asked, “Mr.. Su, is there a problem?”
