Chapter 114
“Don’t worry. Regardless of what happens, I will ensure your safety.”
When Xiao Chen heard the discussion behind him, his expression turned even colder. Although he had never heard of Berserk Beast Powder, he already believed that the desolate beasts that were charging towards them were definitely man-made. Hence, he said seriously to the nervous group behind him.
With a pause, he added, “This time, someone must have set up a trap for me. I have implicated everyone. But don’t worry. As long as I don’t die, none of you will die. Now, listen to my orders. Break out of the encirclement as the desolate beast horde has appeared!”
“Appeared?
Where?
Ah!
So many! ”
When Xuda and company heard Xiao Chen’s last sentence, they looked around in shock. Moments later, their faces turned pale. Their eyes were filled with deep fear. It was not that they were timid, but there were just too many desolate beasts that had appeared.
They saw that in the forest a few hundred feet away from where the five of them were, countless desolate beasts appeared. There were big and small ones, long and short ones. Some ran on the ground, some scuttled in the trees, some crawled in the grass, and some flew in the air. They came in all shapes and sizes.
Iron-armored Rhinoceros, Blood Armored Desolate Wolf King, Berserk Wild Boar, Two-headed Treant, Death Nether Wolf, Garland Cockscomb Snake, Earth Bear, Gray-headed Griffin, Iron-clawed Golden Eagle, etc. So many desolate beasts had appeared at the same time. All of them charged ferociously at Xiao Chen and company. They were all bloodthirsty and violent.
These desolate beasts were at least second-grade and above. Most of them were third-grade, and a small portion of them were fourth-grade. There were even a few that were at the peak of fourth-grade and above. They were extremely powerful!
The desolate beasts that appeared were nothing to the berserk Xiao Chen. The problem was that the number of desolate beasts was just too terrifying. He could see that there were at least five hundred, if not eight hundred. As for how many more had yet to appear, no one knew.
“What are you waiting for!?
Break out of the encirclement! ”
When Xiao Chen saw the four of them staring dumbfoundedly at the wild beasts that were charging at them from all directions, he could not help but frown. With a roar, he took the lead and charged towards the periphery of the forest. As he ran, he shouted “Berserk Transformation” in his heart. Then, he pulled out his wooden sword, arched his back slightly, and dragged the wooden sword behind him. With a cold expression, he charged towards the wild beasts two hundred feet away.
At this moment, Xiao Chen didn’t dare to be careless. He immediately released the Berserk God’s Gift and his strength rose to the first level of the Purple Image Realm. If he was alone, he wouldn’t be so cautious. The problem was that there were four teammates behind him who were weaker. He had no choice but to go all out. Otherwise, the four people behind him would definitely die.
Even with the signal flare, the rescue team would not be able to arrive so quickly. By the time the rescue team arrived, the four of them would have already been torn apart by the desolate beasts.
Although Xiao Chen was a cold person, he was still willing to sacrifice himself for a true friend. Hence, he would not watch his four teammates be eaten by the dire beasts. He would definitely do his best to protect them to a safe place, even if his own life was in danger.
“Let’s go!”
Liu Ruyue let out a soft shout. With a shake of her sword, she was the first to dash out. She had a heroic spirit that was not inferior to men. Zhuge Mingyu opened his fan, revealing the sharp blade of the fan. He quickly caught up to Liu Ruyue and was in charge of protecting Liu Ruyue’s safety.
Xu Da immediately released the Iron Armor Gift, causing his strength to skyrocket. He then went all out to protect the pale-faced Zhao Yuhan who was running.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen, who was running at the front, had already encountered a few third-grade dire beasts. He let out a cold shout and a cold murderous aura gushed out from his body. It was like a raging torrent that rushed at the group of dire beasts in front of him. The wooden sword in his hand was emitting a shocking aura. It was shining brightly and surging with energy.
Xiao Chen began to brandish the wooden sword. In an instant, the wooden sword was like a roaring black dragon as it charged at the dire beasts that were a few meters away.
Bang, bang, bang!
The wooden sword danced as fast as lightning, as though it was traversing through time and space. In a blink of an eye, it had attacked the bodies of the third-grade dire beasts. The third-grade dire beasts were actually huge and incomparably heavy. However, how could they withstand the full force attack of Xiao Chen who was at the first stage of the Purple Image Realm?
They were all thrown away violently.
Boom, boom, boom!
The dire beasts that were thrown away suddenly exploded and let out a series of earth-shattering explosions. Countless dismembered corpses were sent flying in all directions. Some of the dismembered corpses with great impact force crashed into the nearby dire beasts, causing a commotion and making the scene even more chaotic.
Swish!
Xiao Chen took advantage of the chaos and charged into the group of dire beasts, starting a massacre. The wooden sword attacked indiscriminately. There were at least dozens of dire beasts surrounding Xiao Chen. All of them had bloodshot eyes as they fought to attack Xiao Chen. It was to the extent that Xiao Chen could hit one or a few dire beasts with a casual swing.
Bang!
Kacha!
“Wu-Wu!”
A Mud Bear that was 500 kilograms in weight was struck in the chest by Xiao Chen’s wooden sword. It was immediately sent flying for 40 feet before crashing into a huge tree. The trunk of the huge tree snapped and fell to the ground with a loud bang. The huge tree happened to crash into a few Blood Armored Wild Wolf Kings below the tree. A few of the severely injured Wild Wolf Kings immediately let out miserable whimpers.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Xiao Chen was like an undefeatable God of Death as he charged into the frenzied dire beasts. The dancing wooden sword reaped the lives of various dire beasts. The flesh and blood of the dire beasts were flying around him, and the beasts were roaring incessantly. It was extremely noisy.
Sss!
Two Twin-Headed Treants that were 30 feet long hung down from the tree beside Xiao Chen. The four huge heads opened their bloody mouths which were large enough to swallow a pig and tried to devour Xiao Chen. They intended to swallow Xiao Chen into their stomachs and have a delicious meal.
“Xiao Chen!
Be careful! ”
Liu Ruyue, who had just run over, was worried when she saw Xiao Chen in the midst of the dire beasts. When she saw the two giant pythons sneak up on Xiao Chen’s head to attack Xiao Chen, she couldn’t help but exclaim.
Swish!
Xiao Chen had naturally noticed the sneak attack from the Twin-Headed Treants. He leaped up and raised his wooden sword high above his head. Like a propeller, it spun rapidly and immediately turned into a powerful meat grinder.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The two Twin-Headed Treants didn’t expect Xiao Chen’s reaction to be so fast and his moves to be so strange. They directly slammed into Xiao Chen’s self-made meat grinder. Tragedy immediately ensued. The four huge heads were swept by the wooden sword, which had turned into a divine weapon. One by one, they exploded. Cold beast blood poured down like a waterfall, but it was blocked by the wooden sword and then scattered.
“Boom!”
The corpses of the two Headless Tree Pythons that could not be more dead fell off from the tree. Then, they fell heavily to the ground. Of course, there were a few unlucky desolate beasts under the tree that were smashed and injured.
“Follow me!
Quickly break out! ”
After killing the two Twin-Headed Treants, Xiao Chen used his heavy and sharp wooden sword to sweep away the desolate beasts that pounced at him. Then, he turned around and shouted at the four people behind him. Then, he charged forward in an even more frenzied manner. He was like a hot knife through butter, sweeping away everything in his path!
“Let’s go!”
Liu Ruyue shouted softly. The four of them rushed towards Xiao Chen in a group. If they didn’t leave now, it would be too late. The surrounding desolate beasts were about to reach them. If they stayed any longer, they would be surrounded by countless desolate beasts. If they were surrounded by countless desolate beasts, no matter how strong Xiao Chen was, he wouldn’t be able to save the four of them at the same time. There would definitely be casualties.
“Roar!”
“Si!”
“Ah woo!”
“Chu!”
In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the number of desolate beasts that died under Xiao Chen’s sword was no less than twenty. Not only did the deaths of the desolate beasts not deter the other desolate beasts, it instead made them even more ferocious and bloodthirsty!
The corpses of the dead desolate beasts were immediately eaten by the other desolate beasts. The smell of blood became stronger.
“I have to carve out a path of blood, or everyone will die!”
As Xiao Chen battled the group of desolate beasts, his heart was extremely calm. He could sense that there were more than ten powerful desolate beasts running towards them. If they didn’t leave now, everyone would be in danger.
If he was alone, he could escape at any time. But if he brought Liu Ruyue and company along, everyone would die when the powerful desolate beasts arrived. Xiao Chen wasn’t the kind of person who would abandon his companions and escape alone. If he really did that, he would be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life.
