1273 Great Shaman (1/2)
After Chen Xiaobei left the dungeon, he lingered nearby.
The two disciples he had just killed were most likely sent to circulate the ordinance decreed by their faction leader.
Now that they were both dead and unable to report about the completion of their task, the enemy would find out soon enough that something had gone wrong in the dungeon.
Chen Xiaobei waited there to defeat the first wave of enemies to distract them from the people in the dungeon. Once he knew that they were safe, Chen Xiaobei could then go ahead and carry out his plan smoothly!
True enough, a while later, a sudden commotion ensued not far away.
”Hurry! Hurry! The dungeon must be in trouble!”
”Fang Zi'er brought Liu Xuanxin's friend to the island today, and Master Hua locked him up in the dungeon! I'm sure he has a hand in Master Hua's death!”
”That's right! We cannot let him get away! Hurry up! Get to the dungeon the fastest you can!”
Shouts resonated in the air while boots pounded on the ground. Those were the sounds of at least a few hundred men.
They were so fast that Chen Xiaobei spotted his enemies within a few seconds. There were all in all roughly 600 men in total, all running in his direction!
”It's not a good idea for me to stay here at the moment. I have to distract the enemies!”
Chen Xiaobei used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to gauge his enemies' strengths and saw that while they huge in number, most of them were only True Nirvana cultivation minions. The few stronger ones had only about 80,000 combat power.
Considering what Chen Xiaobei had become today, there was nothing to worry at all.
But after this wave of attack, there would be even more minions and stronger elders, numbering in the thousands. Eventually, he would have to face the faction leaders!
Before the second wave of enemies approached him, Chen Xiaobei had to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Otherwise, the people in the dungeon would be subjected to even graver danger.
”What is the fastest way to get rid of them?”
Chen Xiaobei contemplated hard as he watched his enemies closing in. Soon, an idea dawned on him.
A black talisman made out of spiritual paper appeared in Chen Xiaobei's palm.
It was a Spirit Summoning Talisman!
In the dungeon behind him, lurked thousands of tormented souls of men who had been brutally tortured to death.
With the talisman, Chen Xiaobei could summon and give orders to all of them.
”I see him! That's the scumbag I was telling you about! He's Liu Xuanxin's friend!”
”Brothers! Let's charge! Let's get that son of a bitch! Our faction leader will reward us handsomely!”
”Charge!!!”
When his enemies spotted him, they stormed forward like a herd of wildebeasts, vowing to not rest until Chen Xiaobei was captured.
In the dungeon.
”Shit! Bro Bei is surrounded! There are hundreds of them!”
Xia Hanjiang employed the help of a spirit to observe the situation outside. He was trembling and his face had turned as white as a sheet. ”These men are not very strong. But if they managed to block Bro Chen's path, then he would have to face the stronger enemies when they arrive from behind! Bro Bei is dead if Yin Wuqiu gets here!”
”What should we do then? Why don't we all go out and help Bro Bei? We can still beat the average disciple!” Xiahou Linyuan said.
”Yes! I agree! Since we're all going to die, we might as well die fighting next to Bro Bei! Everybody, pick up your weapons! Let's go out and fight them till our death!” Qi Changshen shouted, ready to bring the other prisoners with him.
”No! Everyone please calm down!” Liu Xuanxin stood up to block the exit. ”We have to trust Xiaobei! I know him very well! He is not a reckless person especially when it comes to his friends and family. Unless he was 100% confident, he is not the type to act on impulse!”
”…”
The group of men hushed.
These were all men of high footing who had almost never succumbed to the will to anyone.
If this had happened in the past, they would wouldn't even bat an eyelid on what the woman had to say.
