Chapter 1430 Senior Brother Is a Good Man
“Take out your Defense Treasures. Don’t be careless!”
Hua Churan, the Eldest Lady of Orchid Peak, had been heartbroken recently. She even started doubting everything she had learned and worried about gains and losses. She didn’t talk much along the way, but at such a serious moment, she still reminded her teammates.
A lot of people in the crowd immediately took out some defensive or detection treasures, which were all Yang treasures.
As they searched their surroundings, they quickly advanced.
“Good heavens!”
“Why can’t we get out of this place?”
“The ancient town is clearly not far ahead, but we have been moving for five minutes, and the distance remains the same.”
Hiss!
Many people gasped in horror.
“We’ve been in place all this time. We’ve been trapped!”
Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
They had never imagined that they would encounter such a strange scene.
Even though they had all kinds of Defense Treasures, it was in vain. There was no way to get out of this place at all.
Xu Hang frowned and said sternly, “Don’t panic!”
This kind of att.i.tude was his true nature.
At this point, he couldn’t help but become cautious.
“Roc-suppressing Wing Formation!”
He took out several Formation Flags and set up a formation. Then, he activated the Fire of the Magic Eye and lit up the nearby area.
The crowd immediately discovered that there were dense red dots in the jungle.
Upon closer inspection, they found that those were the eyes of some creatures.
The blood-red eyes seemed to reflect the bloodthirsty killing intent.
The surroundings had been seen through.
The crowd also noticed that the direction of the ancient town was still in front of them, but there seemed to be a circular square around them. They had been circling this place before.
Creak!
Suddenly, the dense red dots started to move.
When the crowd got closer, they suddenly found that each one of these creatures was more than one meter long.
“Bloodthirsty Bat Kings!”
“Oh no!”
“Run now!”
Hua Churan’s face turned pale. She cried out in shock and fled with the others.
During this period, everyone took out all kinds of Defense Treasures and kept attacking backward, trying to stall for time. However, the distance between the Bloodthirsty Bat Kings and them was getting shorter and shorter.
“Let’s go!”
Kaleb shouted coldly.
Several jets of saber radiance were launched.
The group fled in a panic and ran madly toward the ancient town in front.
The number of bats was increasing.
“Be careful, Junior Brother Tong!”
A man shouted in shock and hurried to help Junior Brother Tong on the periphery.
However, in a panic, the Defense Treasure Junior Brother Tong took out was broken, and all the attacks he launched were drowned.
“AH!
“Stay away from me!”
He was caught by three bats and retreated dozens of meters. Then, many bats swarmed over and tore him apart.
“Don’t shout!”
Mengmeng reminded the others. As she launched her attacks, she retreated with Zhang Han.
“Let’s leave!”
Xu Hang led the group to flee.
He seemed to have inadvertently glanced at Mengmeng. With a flash of light in his eyes, he slowly raised his right hand and finally put it back.
He didn’t lend a helping hand to the people around him. He just watched coldly and waited for an opportunity.
However, he suddenly found that Junior Brother Yefeng was also staring at him.
“Is he that scared?”
Instinctively, Xu Hang thought that Yefeng wanted to follow him and escape.
“Watch out!”
Seeing that Hua Churan had been attacked by more than a dozen Bloodthirsty Bat Kings, Xu Hang finally made a relatively powerful move and forced those bats to retreat.
At this time, the crowd was near the ancient town.
The sky seemed to have brightened a little. Was it because of the lights in the ancient town?
No one knew.
However, fewer and fewer Bloodthirsty Bat Kings were chasing after them. It was not until they were a hundred meters away from the ancient town that these terrifying creatures turned around and left.
As the crowd fled, three of them were killed.
Only 28 people were left in the team of 31 people.
“Take a three-minute break. Three minutes later, we’ll enter the ancient town and find a way out. This is not a place we can explore.”
With a slightly gloomy face, Xu Hang looked at the team and said in a cold voice, “I’ve already told you how to face danger. Is this how you do it? The formation is in disorder!”
As he spoke, he let out a deep sigh and said with a sad look, “In such a short time, we lost three people. Three junior brothers. They shouldn’t have died! It’s my fault! I didn’t take good care of them!”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang!”
His words were very touching.
“It’s not your fault. Please don’t blame yourself.”
“Perhaps that’s fate!”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang, you have already done your best.”
After receiving a few words of comfort, Xu Hang sighed and said, “Although I’m heartbroken, we still have to deal with this place, so you must obey my orders from now on. Only in this way can we have the greatest chance to leave this place alive! This small secret realm is absolutely dangerous. You must be careful and listen to me. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, he will be severely punished when we get out.”
No one refuted his words.
Some of them even agreed with him.
Three minutes later, he turned to look at the ancient town.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Xu Hang suddenly said, “As I said just now, there might be dangers at the rear of the jungle, and there were the Bloodthirsty Bat Kings. Now, there may be a crisis in the ancient town, because even the Bloodthirsty Bat Kings don’t dare to enter this place. Therefore, there are now changes to the previous formation. I, Zhang Hanyang, and Yefeng will be in the front, and Hua Churan… will be on guard in the middle. The others stay in the back and get ready to support us at any time.”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang, you’re the best!”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang, you’re so nice to me. I’ll listen to your commands when we leave this place.”
“…”
A few people were moved.
Even Hua Churan said with a complicated expression, “Xu Hang, I misjudged you before. I didn’t expect you to be so responsible.”
“I hear you. After all, we have never done a task together before. How could you believe the rumors about my indifference? All right now. Let’s enter the ancient town and find the exit. Our team can’t take this small secret realm down. Let’s find more teams to explore it together,” Xu Hang nodded and said.
After that, he took the lead in walking to the ancient town.
The ancient town was extremely quiet.
Every house seemed to be covered with dust and full of a dead atmosphere.
The strange thing was that each courtyard had a lush tree.
This place seemed to be full of vitality.
“Daddy, what’s going on here?” Mengmeng asked via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
“This is an ominous place,” Zhang Han said. “Those were Bloodthirsty Ghost Bats just now, not Bloodthirsty Bat Kings. Ghost Bats feed on evil spirits. They like blood, so they are relatively cruel. As for the ancient town, every courtyard has a dead soul. Every dead soul is nouris.h.i.+ng the Demonic Vines. Those trees that look lush are the truly terrible things here.”
“Should we let them know this?”
“Xu Hang clearly knows some formations, so he should be able to see the layout of the ancient town. He knows that the exit is in the north, but he took us in from the southeast and headed west. It seems that he doesn’t know that there are Demonic Vines here.”
“What does that mean? What is he going to do?” Mengmeng frowned and looked at Xu Hang.
“Let’s wait and see what he will do.”
After Zhang Han said that, the two of them followed Xu Hang silently.
After walking westward for half an hour, the team did not encounter any danger in the ancient town.
“Senior Brother Xu Hang.”
“There’s a light in the courtyard over there. Is it a treasure?”
“There is a light! It seems to be a spirit treasure?”
A few disciples pointed to a courtyard not far from the side street, where there was a faint white light flas.h.i.+ng.
Xu Hang said, “Let’s go and check it out.”
This time, his speed was much faster.
When the crowd arrived outside the courtyard, they looked into it.
Under the tree in the courtyard, there was a sword inserted in the root of the tree.
“A fifth-tier spirit treasure!”
Quite a few disciples were pleasantly surprised.
However, Xu Hang’s eyes were fixed on a gem below the long sword.
It was the Step Refining Stone, a top-grade sixth-tier weapon-refining spirit treasure.
He needed this kind of treasure.
“Mind-clearing Spell.
“Illusionary Eye!”
Xu Hang cast several spells to clear the surroundings. When he found that there was no danger around, he opened the defensive layers of the five kinds of spiritual treasures.
“Everyone, wait here. There may be a crisis in the courtyard. I’ll go and take out that long sword.”
After saying that, Xu Hang entered the courtyard with a flash.
The first thing he did was to put away the gem, and then he pull out the long sword.
Clang!
The sound of a sword being drawn rang out in the courtyard.
Clatter!
Leaves shook faster and faster without any wind, making clattering sounds.
The scene became more and more bizarre.
All of a sudden, a faint black shadow of a withered tree came out of the tree.
When Xu Hang saw the shadow of the withered tree, his expression changed drastically. “Demonic Vine!
“Not good! Run now!”
He finally knew the crisis in the ancient town.
“It’s actually a Demonic Vine!”
Demonic Vine was very difficult to deal with. It stayed unscathed by all kinds of attacks and belonged to the Yin soul type, but it could create real branches.
Every single branch was a dead soul it absorbed, and they possessed extremely strong might.
“Hua Churan, follow the street and run north now!”
Xu Hang let out a shocked cry.
He felt that the Demonic Vine was flying toward him from his back.
He turned around and swung his long saber angrily. The saber radiance whistled past, mixed with the power of the raging fire.
However, this only managed to slow down the Demonic Vine a little.
Even his saber radiance did not cause any damage in the courtyard.
“This is too strange.”
This caused Xu Hang to be even more shocked.
He quickly made a few strikes.
He slipped into the crowd and shouted, “Take out all your Defense Treasures. Let’s display our moves together!”
Many people did as he said.
The more people there were, the greater the power. They immediately stopped the Demonic Vine behind them.
It was slightly slower than the crowd.
“It won’t be able to catch us!”
Some disciples let out a sigh of relief.
Clatter!
However, they didn’t expect that as soon as they finished speaking, the whole street, as well as the courtyards nearby, would be filled with rustling sounds.
The trees in the courtyards were shaking as if the Demonic Vines hidden within were awakening.
“c.r.a.p!”
Xu Hang cursed in his heart.
He took out a golden talisman and unfurled it.
His speed increased.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the team.
“I’ll find the exit for you. Follow my route!”
After that, Xu Hang’s figure turned into a stream of light.
He gave no further instructions to the crowd behind him.
Seeing this, Hua Churan gritted her teeth and also took out a magic treasure, a Strider Talisman.
Her speed increased dramatically.
At this critical moment, the means of escape were quite important. Everyone figured out various ways to cope with the situation.
Those who were able to flee quickly would definitely not be slow.
The faces of the few disciples at the back turned pale.
“AAAAH!”
“Save me!”
Mengmeng was a little hesitant. She looked at Zhang Han.
“Sometimes, you need to keep a boundary in your heart.”
Zhang Han said earnestly, “What does the life and death of others have to do with me?
“That’s not right or wrong, but it would make you feel better. Helping them would just be lifting a finger. I’m not teaching you to be indifferent all these years, but to keep you safe. Mengmeng, you’ve grown up. In the future, you should do things according to your mood. Your happiness should be your priority.”
As he spoke via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, Zhang Han smiled gently and ran his mind slightly.
He would use the most correct method, using the least amount of power, to intimidate the Demonic Vines.
Buzz!
No one noticed that the Demonic Vine, which was chasing after them, suddenly became slow and hesitant. The leaves in the courtyards on both sides of the street also trembled much less than before.
If things went on like this, except for five or six people who could escape quickly, the others would all die here.
A small secret realm could provide people with treasures, but it could also make people die without their bodies left. Opportunities and crises coexisted.
“Got it.”
Mengmeng pursed her lips and smiled. “Anyway, as long as you’re here with me, I’ll be happy.”
They fled to the side of the street in the center of the ancient town, where the trees of the Demonic Vines trembled most violently.
After a while, the frequency became much lower, and Zhang Han withdrew his mind.
More and more Demonic Vines chased after them.
But judging from those creatures’ speed, it should not be a problem for the crowd to escape.
“Over here! Hurry up and come!”
To the north of the ancient town, at the edge of the town, there was a white vortex, which was the exit.
At this moment, Xu Hang was flying back. When he saw that the Demonic Vines were in the distance, he was immediately relieved. His eyes flickered slightly as if he was thinking about something.
He took the initiative to walk up to the crowd and said loudly, “I’ve finally found the exit. Hurry up! Flee!
“The ones in the back before now have the priority to leave first. Hua Churan, Zhang Hanyang, and Yefeng, you will stay here and help me resist the Demonic Vines!
“Don’t hesitate. Everyone else, hurry up and leave.”
Everyone was quite moved by his words.
During this trip to the secret realm, Senior Brother Xu Hang had truly done his best. He had found the exit, but he tried to help them out at once instead of leaving on his own.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Looking at the hundreds of Demonic Vines behind him, Xu Hang thought about the time and speed he needed.
He took Hua Churan with him to take action together.
At the same time, he made sure that Zhang Han and Mengmeng would not pa.s.s him and leave.
Zhang Han said via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “Did you see that? He has evil intentions.”
“Humph!”
Mengmeng also noticed Xu Hang’s unusual behaviors and snorted softly.
After the main force left, only four people were left.
“Hua Churan, you need to leave first!”
Swoos.h.!.+
Hua Churan nodded and quickly flew to the exit of the whirlpool.
When she was still a dozen meters away from it, Xu Hang said loudly, “Zhang Hanyang, Yefeng, hurry up and leave. I’ll cover you!”
His voice was quite urgent. He attacked frequently, and his moves were bold and powerful, which made him seem invincible.
However, in the face of the Demonic Vines, he was still forced to retreat step by step.
He seemed to be fighting hard.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Han and Mengmeng flew to the exit. Before they approached, Hua Churan turned her head and looked at Xu Hang, who was in a battle, with mixed feelings.
She sighed softly and said, “Senior Brother Xu Hang, I misjudged you before.”
After that, she was about to enter the exit.
Xu Hang was trapped by a Demonic Vine, and the energy attacks launched by the withered branches were like whips.
The slaps caused him to tremble.
“Zhang Hanyang! Yefeng! Leave now! Take the news out!”
His roar resounded through the area within a kilometer.
At this time, Hua Chuchu’s figure had completely disappeared at the exit.
The plot was revealed in the end.
As Xu Hang looked at Zhang Han and Mengmeng’s backs, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face, but his tone contained deep hatred and resentment.
“Junior Brother Zhang! Junior Brother Yefeng!
“Huh. You won’t be able to escape!”
Buzz!
He took out a box-shaped spirit treasure.
After he opened it, Zhang Han and Mengmeng were covered by a layer of light.
“Come to me!
“Shadow Displacement Transposition!” Xu Hang said with a grim smile.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Countless energy locked onto Zhang Han and Mengmeng. The light wave was like a big net, covering the two of them and then flickering.
Their positions had suddenly changed.
At this time, standing not far from the exit, Xu Hang looked at the two people behind him, shaking his fingers and sneering with a contemptuous look.
However, he said with great care, “Junior Brother Zhang! Junior Brother Yefeng! You won’t die in vain. I’ll lead the army of the sect to suppress this place and avenge you!”
After that, he went straight into the exit, and his upper body left first.
“How dare you provoke Brother Xuan Chen! You’re courting death!
“Phew. I’ve finally come out.”
Xu Hang was much more relaxed.
He could also see that there were more than twenty people waiting anxiously in the valley outside, waiting for him to return.
However-
Bang!
One of his legs was suddenly grabbed by something.
“What?”
Xu Hang’s pupils constricted.
He felt that an irresistible force was pulling him back.
“No!’
Xu Hang let out a furious roar, his face contorted with rage.
He didn’t even have time to react before being dragged back. When he could see clearly, he saw a tall figure appear before him.
“What is it?”
He saw two perfectly round eyes.
“Is this a King Kong?”
Xu Hang was stunned and at a loss for what to do.
“Throw him back!” Mengmeng said in a huff.
“Get lost!”
Dahei let out a curse.
It grabbed Xu Hang’s leg and threw him away with force.
Swoos.h.!.+
Xu Hang turned into a stream of light and was quickly thrown into the center of the ancient town.
“AH!
“No!”
“Zhang Hanyang!”
His eyes were red as he let out a resentful roar.
However, his voice was soon covered by another earth-shattering voice.
“Senior Brother Xu Hang!”
Zhang Han cried out in pain.
He then winked at Mengmeng.
Dahei became smaller and returned to Mengmeng’s schoolbag.
The Demonic Vines, which were far away, didn’t dare to get close to them.
As for Zhang Han, he held Mengmeng’s hand unhurriedly and walked into the exit leisurely.
After they went out, Zhang Han’s face immediately changed.
His face was full of sadness. He looked in the direction of the exit and pounded his chest and stamped his feet.
“Senior Brother Xu Hang! You got yourself in danger to save me. At the last moment, you gave me your s.p.a.ce Ring. You fought against the Demonic Vine even though you had to die! Senior Brother Xu Hang! You shouldn’t have done this!”
“Huh?”
Mengmeng was stunned.
“Why is he so good at acting?”
“Let’s hurry and leave!”
Hua Churan’s eyes quivered. After hearing Zhang Han’s words, she felt sad and watched the exit disappear. Xu Hang had not yet come out.
This kind of feeling was too sad.
It was a depressing scene.
But the team must have a captain.
Hua Churan knew that she was under a lot of responsibilities.
She had a bitter look on her face. She had never expected that the small secret realm they explored this time would be so dangerous that even Captain Xu Hang would die.
As the crowd thought of the scenes that had happened before where Xu Hang was so nice to them, many people’s eyes turned red.
Zhang Han also looked sad.
He showed a state of powerlessness and said in a very sad tone, “Senior Brother Xu Hang is a good man.
“He sacrificed himself for our sake. He is a great person.”
Gurgle!
Mengmeng couldn’t help but swallow.
“Oh my G.o.d!
“Daddy is now a better actor than Mummy.
“Could it be that he learned his acting from her?
“Is this like one that lies down with dogs will rise up with fleas?”
Mengmeng just learned something new.
Seeing that Zhang Han was sad, the crowd all comforted him.
“Senior Brother Xu Hang is a good man. Don’t be too sad, Junior Brother Yefeng. There’s no way we could resist those attacks.”
“Yeah. Senior Brother Xu Hang might not have died in there. Let’s inform the sect as soon as possible. If they find out that he is trapped in a small secret realm, they will definitely send people to rescue him.”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang can’t die!”
Hearing their words, Mengmeng suddenly felt quite helpless. She touched her forehead.
There was probably not even a single bone left of Xu Hang now.
