Chapter 1029 Survive
As Chen Shu spoke, Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao both felt a wave of dizziness.
The ground began to shake!
In the distance, visible to the naked eye, a cloud of dust was rolling in.
Seeing this, the two men rushed over to investigate.
Chen Shu approached Chen Yang and said in a low voice, "Most of them are at the Grandmaster realm, with a few at the peak Grandmaster strength. There are too many. It's very dangerous to stay here any longer."
What Chen Shu was referring to was the number of monsters.
These creatures were not only numerous but also very fast. If they were surrounded, escaping would not be easy.
"Okay, give me a minute."
Chen Yang took out the silver needles given to him by the abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery, infused them with his fiery internal energy, and began to apply acupuncture.
This person's injuries were too severe. While it was possible to sustain him with fiery internal energy, it consumed a lot of internal energy and time, unlike this method. However, it was only because of the new silver needles; the old ones would have been unable to withstand Chen Yang's fiery internal energy.
Seeing that Chen Yang was still saving someone here, Chen Shu could only sigh helplessly.
"You two, hurry up and come here!"
Chen Shu called out to Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao, who were still searching for items.
Chen Yang said a minute, but it was a casual remark! That minute was enough for the monsters to gather.
Just as Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao finished collecting their items, the fastest peak Grandmaster monster charged forward. Unlike demonic beasts, this monster showed no signs of intelligence in its eyes, charging headfirst like a common beast. Wu Bandao, Zhang Dao, and Chen Shu had all spent a long time in the snow forest. No one understood demonic beasts better than they did. The monsters before them were ferocious beasts!
"So many!" Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao gasped. One or two would have been manageable, but the sheer pressure created by such a large number of monsters gathered together was suffocating.
Chen Shu did not hesitate, directly bringing out one of his primal energies, the bronze tree. After his bronze tree was refined into primal energy for the first time and was injured, Chen Shu had resolved never to use this power again. However, with so many monsters before them, not using the bronze tree primal energy would be too draining for them.
Chen Shu's bronze tree primal energy suddenly expanded, becoming as large as an ancient tree in a manor, and stood directly behind Chen Shu. Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao were seeing the bronze tree grow so enormous for the first time. Before they could react, the bronze tree, with its crisscrossing branches, suddenly transformed into countless pythons. Although the tails of these pythons were still attached to the bronze tree, their bodies seemed to extend infinitely, lunging towards the rolling tide of monsters. The pythons transformed from the bronze tree could deal with Grandmaster realm monsters, but for peak Grandmaster monsters, Chen Shu had to act personally. As for Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao, they guarded Chen Yang, blocking any sneak attacks from demonic beasts.
The moment he engaged in combat, Chen Shu sensed that these monsters were unusual. Logically, ordinary monsters, when obstructed, would prioritize eliminating the immediate prey. However, these monsters paid no attention to Chen Shu's obstruction. One group rushed towards the corpses of the two disciples of the Profound Heaven Cave Mansion, while the rest charged towards the person Chen Yang was healing.
"Blood qi! These creatures are attracted by blood qi!"
Not only that, but Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao also became targets for these monsters. However, Chen Shu alone... seemed to be ignored by all the monsters.
Chen Shu's expression changed! Others might not know the inner workings, but how could Chen Shu himself be completely unaware? His true form was the bronze tree! Although he had gone through the tribulation of transforming his form, in the eyes of these monsters, the blood qi within him was not attractive enough.
As Chen Shu struggled to hold back the monsters, Chen Yang had also finished applying the needles.
"Lift him up, and don't touch the needles!"
After speaking, Chen Yang unleashed his Heavenly Physician Art, using his powerful internal energy to force open a gap.
"Let's go!"
As Chen Yang's words fell, Chen Shu retracted his bronze tree primal energy. Chen Yang did not use the Heavenly Movement Secret Technique. He could lead people away, but if he used the Heavenly Movement Secret Technique, the internal energy consumed would double with each person he brought. In such a dangerous place, Chen Yang had to maintain his state at its peak at all times.
The peak Grandmaster monsters did not continue their charge; instead, they went to fight over the two corpses of the Profound Heaven Cave Mansion disciples. Only some Grandmaster monsters continued to pursue Chen Yang and the others. After retreating a considerable distance, Chen Shu directly killed them. After placing the corpses into the Tree Tomb space, the group left without any delay.
Only when Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao could no longer move and needed to recover their internal energy did Chen Yang stop.
"To save that brat, we almost lost our lives!" Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao, having just experienced the rush, could not help but feel angry. However, this anger could not be directed at Chen Yang, so they could only glare at the martial artist who was being carried.
The peak Grandmaster, whose injuries had been stabilized by the silver needles, quickly said, "My name is Qin Xinyang. Thank you all for saving my life. This kindness is hard to repay. If there is ever an opportunity in the future, I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
Chen Yang did not respond to this. He had heard such words too many times. Yet, when real trouble arose, it would be a great feat if even two of them showed up. However, this time, it was merely an act of saving a life, a spontaneous decision. Chen Yang had not expected any repayment. Instead, he said, "In half an hour, the power within the silver needles will be fully absorbed by your meridians, but this will only sustain you for a while."
"For the next few days, do not carelessly use your internal energy. Focus on absorbing spiritual energy to nourish your meridians. If possible, you might recover before the spatial realm closes."
"Based on my guess, when you leave, the spatial forces will be much weaker, at least preventing you from sustaining such severe injuries."
"Saving you is part of my profession; repayment is not necessary."
"It is good that you are alive."
Saying this, Chen Yang looked at Wu Bandao and Zhang Dao, filled with emotion. "Your grand-aunt and I are going to another place, which is even more dangerous than here. If you follow us, you might not be able to protect yourselves when danger arises."
"You are the successors of Senior Qin Yi and recognized martial artists of the snow forest. You do not need to risk yourselves with me. Stay in a safe place. Seize any opportunities you find, but if not, do not risk your lives. For you, living is the greatest opportunity."
