Su Yang caught a glimpse of two somewhat familiar people out of the corner of his eye, but at this moment, he didn't have the time to take a closer look.
The yak was charging forward with its head down. Just as the beast was about to leap off the cliff, Su Yang managed to close in on it, though there was still a bit of distance between them.
He hurriedly pushed off hard with his feet, diving toward the yak. Closing the gap rapidly, he grabbed the rope tied around the yak's hindquarters.
While exerting his strength, he firmly planted his feet into the ground ahead of him.
Scrape, scrape, scrape!!
Su Yang's feet dragged through the dirt, carving out two long trenches in the ground.
This yak was already quite large, and its strength was far beyond what a normal human could match.
If that uncle from earlier had managed to catch up, he absolutely would have been dragged off the cliff along with the yak.
However, the yak's luck was terrible today. It had chosen to commit suicide right when it bumped into Su Yang.
"Stop right there!"
Su Yang let out a massive roar. Just as the yak was mere centimeters away from the edge of the cliff, the muscles in his arms bulged as he unleashed every ounce of strength in his body, forcibly bringing the yak to a dead halt.
Moo! Moo! Moo!
The yak seemed to be locking horns with Su Yang. It lowered its head, using every bit of its bovine strength, its four hooves furiously kicking at the ground.
It was dead set on jumping off the cliff, as if saying, "Let go of me! I'm jumping today, and no one can stop me!!"
Su Yang gritted his teeth, his veins popping. His hands gripped the rope on the yak's back tightly as he slowly pulled it backward.
At this moment, the two people standing over ten meters away were completely dumbfounded by the sight.
Thump, thump, thump!
Running so fast his feet practically struck sparks, Liu Bo finally arrived. He roared, "Brother Yang! I'm here!!"
He quickly rushed to Su Yang's side, reached out to grab the rope, and pulled along with him.
With Liu Bo joining in, Su Yang instantly felt the burden lighten significantly.
Working together, the two managed to drag the old yak back five or six meters.
Another flurry of footsteps approached as the Tibetan uncle finally caught up, panting heavily.
Meng Wenzhou and the rest of their group, along with a few tourists who had gathered to watch the commotion, also hurried over.
The uncle let out an anxious shout and ran over to help Su Yang and Liu Bo. After pulling the yak back a little further together, he quickly walked to the front of the yak and patted its head, then muttered something incomprehensible.
As he spoke and patted it, the yak's manic state visibly calmed down, returning to normal.
"Badass. What kind of spell is that?"
"No idea. Yak-taming technique?" Liu Bo muttered in bewilderment.
Seeing that the yak had calmed down, Su Yang and Liu Bo slowly let go of the rope. The uncle stroked the yak's head while looking at the two young men, thanking them in heavily accented Mandarin.
"Thank you, young men. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my old yak would definitely be gone today."
Su Yang waved his hand. "You're welcome, Uncle. Why did your yak suddenly go crazy?"
The uncle shook his head, looking just as baffled. "I don't know. This old yak is usually very gentle. I have no idea why it suddenly went mad today."
"Alright then, you should hurry up and herd it back."
"Yes, yes. You two young men, come with me to my house."
The uncle looked like a very honest man. His Mandarin wasn't great, so he couldn't express his meaning clearly.
However, the two naturally understood that he meant to invite them to his home as guests.
Su Yang and Liu Bo exchanged a smile. "No need, Uncle. We have other friends with us, so we won't trouble you."
"Call them along too."
"It's really no trouble, you should hurry and take the yak back."
"Alright, alright." The uncle gave them a grateful smile, turned around, and led the yak away.
After the uncle left, the crowd of onlookers also slowly dispersed.
"That was badass, Brother Yang! Single-handedly pulling a yak!! You're too strong!" Liu Bo looked at Su Yang, giving him a thumbs-up with a face full of admiration.
Su Yang laughed. "Are you kidding? We're guys who have gone toe-to-toe with a bear before. It's just a cow, piece of cake."
"Hehe, true that. If you can hold off a bear, a little yak is even easier."
As the two were talking, Meng Wenzhou, Pan Ning, and the others hurried over.
However, Pan Ning currently looked angry, her face dark. It was obvious she was furious.
Before anyone else could speak, she marched up to Su Yang and pinched his arm hard.
"Ouch!!" Su Yang jumped in place from the pinch.
Seeing this, the others were startled and subconsciously took a step back.
"What did you pinch me for?"
"Are you crazy?! What if you couldn't hold onto that yak?" Pan Ning's words hit the nail on the head.
Indeed, if Su Yang hadn't managed to hold onto that yak just now, he probably would have plummeted into the bottomless abyss along with it.
Even though he had self-healing, a high constitution, and strengthened internal organs.
But the drop was simply too high. Falling from that height, his Level 2 self-healing probably wouldn't have been fast enough to save him before he was a goner.
Thinking of this, Su Yang could naturally understand Pan Ning's concern. He looked at the angry Pan Ning and put on an expression that said he knew he was wrong.
"It was an emergency just now. In the heat of the moment, I didn't think that much. I won't do it again."
"Hmph!" Pan Ning turned away, ignoring him.
Beside them, Liu Bo also felt a bit of lingering fear thinking about it. The two of them had only thought about helping and hadn't considered the consequences at all.
Of course, Su Yang only acted because he was absolutely confident.
He looked at Meng Wenzhou and the others, blinking to signal them to put in a good word for him.
Catching the hint, Meng Wenzhou stepped forward with a smile. "Pan Pan, it's fine. Who do you think Old Su is? He's a monster. Didn't you guys say before that he could even solo a bear?"
"It was just a little yak just now. He definitely only stepped in because he was confident he could handle it, right, Old Su?"
"Right, right, right. If I wasn't sure, I definitely wouldn't have acted so rashly."
Pan Ning glared at Meng Wenzhou. "Mind your own business. Go away!"
"Uh... hey, fatty, what are we eating for dinner?" Meng Wenzhou awkwardly chuckled, grabbing Liu Bo and turning away.
Seeing this, the others didn't dare to say anything more. They exchanged glances and stealthily slipped away.
"My good Pan Pan, don't be angry. I won't be so impulsive anymore." Su Yang grabbed Pan Ning's arm and shamelessly started to sweet-talk her.
Pan Ning kept a straight face and remained silent.
"I was wrong, be a good girl, don't be mad. I was just trying to help that uncle out."
After a few seconds of silence, Pan Ning turned to glare at Su Yang and said coldly, "Is the yak more important, or is a person more important? Moreover, if you had fallen down today, I would have jumped down with you. So, if you ever act so recklessly and do something dangerous without caring about the consequences again, then I'll see you in the afterlife!"
After saying that, Pan Ning turned and walked away.
Hearing these words, Su Yang was stunned. This was the first time since they had known each other that Pan Ning had lost her temper with him like this.
But hearing those words, Su Yang felt an indescribable sense of being moved.
Just as he was about to chase after her.
A crisp voice suddenly called out from behind him, "Brother Su!"
"Hmm?" Su Yang turned to look, only to see the two people he had caught a glimpse of earlier walking briskly toward him.
