Chapter 307 (1/2)
”Their skills are awesome, and their courage is great.”
Lin Fan gave praise to these inner disciples; they were impressive. Initially, he thought they all died in the hands of the demon; he did not expect them to be chasing after the demon, which was good for the Greatest Martial Sect's prestige.
Soon, he looked gloomy.
Things weren't as simple as he thought.
A corpse.
Another corpse.
There were demons, Greatest Martial Sect's disciples, and mortals dressed in cloth.
”Senior brother, I feel that this matter is not simple. According to my guess, it must be the disciples, led by the mortals. They are brave enough to attack the demons, which is really admirable.” Ye Dong exclaimed.
Lin Fan looked at him.
‘Were they stupid? ‘
‘How could they attack demons under the leadership of mortals? What were they thinking? Didn't they guess what would happen?'
”Cut the crap and come with me.”
He looked grave; things were definitely not that simple. A glimpse of the idea had even surfaced in his mind.
‘Maybe things were like this…'
But hopefully, he was overthinking.
………..
As they continued to go deeper, the number of corpses they encountered gradually increased.
”Huh! Isn't this Junior Brother Yang? He had become an inner disciple after forty years of initiation, and he was among those with talent. How could he die here?”
Ye Dong froze in place, and his gaze fixed on that corpse. His expression was frozen as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
Just as Lin Fan was about to move, he found Ye Dong walking up to the corpse.
That corpse was holding a sword in his hand, half kneeling on the ground. The sword in his hand stabbed at the ground, resting against his body.
Ye Dong supported Junior Brother Yang and did not say anything more. He had some sadness in his heart, ‘I owe you spirit stones, and I have not paid you back. I have been in debt for a long time. Although you did not ask me for it, I remembered it in my heart.'
He slapped a hole in the ground with one palm and then put the body in and buried it properly.
”Senior brother, the situation seems to be a bit bad. Let's go inside and take a look.”
The steeply serious Ye Dong made Lin Fan a little uncomfortable.
He hurriedly rushed towards the far side.
………..
Somewhere.
A group of people was hiding in some cave, all very tired and somewhat wretched. Among them were disciples of the Greatest Martial Sect and also mortal people.
At this moment, their moods were not high, and they were even all a little sick as if there were darkness and no hope in sight.
A man with a grey face said, ”Immortals, please don't leave on your own. Take us with you, or you can't leave at all.”
There were more children among them, and the rest were all young and strong men.
The demons previously plundered them, directly brought to the demon pit. Just when they thought they were going to die, a group of immortal came from the rear and had a big battle with the demons.
They were fighting for a long time, rescuing them from the demons, but the demons would not let them go, so naturally, the demons were chasing them all the way.
With their elder being captured, they needed to defend themselves at every turn and gradually lost.
Although they didn't know how long it had been, they knew that at least a month had passed.
In this place where there was no food, the immortal did not need to eat. They were taking the elixirs given by their elders to keep their strength.
”You don't need to worry. We will definitely save you out.” A sword-wielding immortal said. He had a flicker of uneasiness in his eyes but pretended to be calm to reassure the mortals.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside.
”Shhh! Don't talk.”
CRACK!
CLICK!
ROAR!
It was the sound of demons.
The demons covered the area around them and looked for them, and they knew they couldn't hide because some of the demons had an extremely acute sense of smell.
Everyone looked at the entrance of the cave.
It was steep.
Suddenly, they saw huge Snake Demons slowly passing by at the entrance of the cave. The demon had a huge body, and a piece of scale armour on its body was the cave entrance's size.
Immediately after that, trembling sounds were coming.
The mortals' bodies trembled. Their legs were shaking, and their eyes were terrified. For them, this scene was too terrifying. They were more like prey waiting to be eaten.
A disciple pressed his voice and said, ”Everyone, calm down. Don't be afraid, the demon may not find us.”
The words just fell when a hideous, terrifying vertical eye appeared at the cave entrance, with a chilling aura.
”We're dead.”
When did these mortals ever see such a scene? They curled up their bodies in fear and trembled.
”Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. As disciples of the Greatest Material Sect, no matter how strong the demon is, we can't be afraid.”
One got up and shouted.
Hiss!
Just at that moment, a long tongue swept in from outside the cave. It instantly wrapped around this disciple's waist and was about to pull it toward the outside of the cave.
”JUNIOR BROTHER….”
The other disciple shouted in fierce shock, waved the weapon in his hand, and cut fiercely on this tongue.
CLANG!
The sound of metal clashing passed.
This tongue was so hard that ordinary weaponry could not break through the defence.
”SUNFIRE.”
A disciple pinched his fingers, and a flame whistled away, burning the tongue. Although it did not harm the demon, the tongue loosened that disciple, giving him a chance to retract quickly.
Puff!
