Chapter 7: Towards the Forest

Everyone felt their hearts instinctively tightened, even Su Yu who had killed four of the green monsters was also experiencing this as his left hand involuntarily clenched down hard on the wooden club and on the back of his left hand, three small black scales appeared.

Qin Jia Gui grit his teeth as he took the lead and rushed forward, he was closely followed by Zhang Zhong Mou and another student who also had the strange energy, thereafter Su Yu followed closely behind…..

The six green monsters saw that there were humans rushing over and stopped hammering the metal gate as they tightly gripped their wooden clubs and headed for the group, charging out as they wielded their clubs while making shrill cries.

“Bang!”

Qin Jia Gui raised the wooden club in his right hand as an iron-like speck appeared on the back of his hand and his wooden club smashed into one of the green monsters wooden clubs. Both sides made a grunting noise as they retreated.

“Bang!”

Zhang Zhong Mou grunted as he wielded his club, his face changed as both his arms violently trembled before the wooden club was knocked flying from his hands and his body was sent tumbling to the ground.

Su Yu who was following closely behind was stunned, previously Zhang Zhong Mou had already killed a green monster before and should not be weaker than the green monster, why would it turn out like this……

There was no time to think as the other green monsters rushed up, the other student who was with Zhang Zhong Mou had been affected by his fall and was flustered, although he had the strange energy and managed to block one of the green monster’s wooden clubs, he was smashed in the chest by another green monster.

Immediately blood was spat from his mouth as the onlookers from behind the metal gate gasped in shock.

One of the female students seemed to be frenzied as she rushed forward while shouting: “Ye Xuan!”

A few people reacted and managed to hold the girl back as someone shouting: “Lin Xiao, don’t be rash! Nothing will happen to Ye Xuan!” The scene immediately became chaotic.

“Attack! Don’t be afraid!” Someone madly shouted from the back.

Su Yu’s right arm was immobile and initially he did not plan to rush forward. Based on his conjecture, six green monsters versus the thirteen of them who had strange energy, it should have been easy for them to deal with and the majority of the people had similar thoughts as him.

However, the situation now was clearly contrary to their expectations. The speed of the green monsters was slightly faster than them and the small door by the side of the metal gate was too small, a single person could easily walk out but two people had to squeeze to get out. As everyone was urgently rushing out, three people were stuck at the door and this delayed the group by a few seconds.

In these short seconds, the people at the back did not manage to rush out in time while Zhang Zhong Mou had fallen to the ground and the student called Ye Xuan had been smashed on the chest and also fallen on the ground. Because of this, only Qin Jia Gui and Su Yu were left to face against six of these green monsters.

“Jia Gui!”

“Su Yu!”

From behind the metal gate the indistinct shouts of people could be heard as the situation became very critical. Su Yu let out a low growl as he saw a green monster attempting to smash the fallen Zhang Zhong Mou, he had no time to think as he smashed heavily.

They did not undergo professional training and only knew a few ways to strike and attack, the basics such as the simplest wielding then clobbering. It was fortunate that these green monsters were not experienced hunters and were just as clumsy as them.

Both sides were of similar calibre and this enabled Su Yu to make use of the frightening strange energy.

Having absorbed the crystals from four green monsters, the back of his left hand now had three black scales. Su Yu did not know what these black scales were for but he knew that currently the strength in his left arm was insanely strong and with a smack of his club, he managed to send the green monster that was planning to attack Zhang Zhong Mou flying into the air.

“Bang!”

The green monster shrieked as it tumbled away, people in the distance gasped in shock as Su Yu rushed into the pack of green monsters and continued his onslaught with his club.

This time his wooden club was met with one of the green monster’s wooden clubs, the green monster’s club was unable to block Su Yu’s club and was knocked backwards by the frightening impact as it rebounded and came smashing towards its own head.

“Booosh!”

The green monster’s brain was squashed as it swayed before falling to the ground, a black crystal flew out from its head and turned into a streak of black light which disappeared into Su Yu’s left* hand.

[T/N*: The raws put right instead, should be a typo]

By the side, Qin Jia Gui grunted and Su Yu looked over to see him tumbling to the ground, thereafter an intense pain could be felt in his right shoulder as he let out a miserable scream, this moment of distraction caused his right shoulder to suffer a club as blood and flesh flew and it seemed to be thoroughly broken.

“Aaahhh!”

Su Yu madly shouted as he reversed his left arm, throwing the wooden club which heavily slammed into the chest of the green monster which had just attacked him.
