Chapter 14: Caution and Advance (Seeking Pursuit)
Chapter 14: Caution and Advance (Seeking Pursuit)
Su Chen's response was firm, and Lin Tian and the others didn't say more.
But deep down, he still had some worries and concerns.
"Many people talk big, but few can actually deliver."
"Senior Brother Lin, let's not put too much hope in him."
Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
They arranged everyone to cooperate and respond as they had practiced before.
As for Su Chen, let him do as he pleased.
Including an untrusted person in the collaboration would only bring more drawbacks.
During this time, Su Chen suggested two hidden ambush positions.
But Lin Tian did not accept his suggestion.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone stood alert.
The moonlight shone faintly on this night.
They lit torches nearby, the flames flickering, providing some illumination.
However, compared to daytime, the visibility was still much poorer.
At midnight, they heard loud shouts not far away.
It seemed that Huang Shanyun's side had encountered an attack, and Yao Wan Yue, who was stationed in the middle, immediately went to reinforce them.
Wu Yi and two disciples continued to guard the central area.
On Su Chen's side, everyone's expressions tightened slightly.
Even though they were experienced in dealing with demonic creatures, they still felt a bit nervous.
"Over ten demonic creatures on the left front, and there are two great beasts!"
Su Chen abruptly spoke up, his voice loud, startling everyone.
They all looked towards the left front, but in the darkness, there was only silence.
They raised their torches to illuminate the area, but still, no demonic creatures were in sight.
Lin Tian furrowed his brows and glanced at Su Chen, "Randomly reporting false information will not only not count as merit, but it will also deduct contribution points."
Unconsciously, he still felt that Su Chen was trying to seek glory and grab credit.
In many sects, discovering demonic creature tracks would be counted as merit.
Su Chen paid no heed to his words. Instead, he quickly stood up, grabbed a torch, and threw it towards the left front.
The next moment, the demonic creature hit by the torch scattered in the darkness, revealing their presence.
They had already approached within a hundred feet!
Upon being discovered, the demonic creatures seemed to abandon their cover and rushed forward ferociously.
Seeing this, Lin Tian and the others immediately picked up their weapons.
Behind these lesser demonic creatures, there were two tiger-like creatures that could stand and move.
Great beasts!
Su Chen tightly gripped his long blade.
The [Blade Master] Divine Destiny and [Demon Hunter] Divine Destiny had already been activated.
In the night battle, the [Demon Hunter] Divine Destiny enhanced his vision.
At his current eighth-level Essence Refinement Initial Stage, he could face the great beasts.
Although it might not be a guaranteed victory, he was confident in fighting them.
In an instant, Su Chen's long blade slashed out.
Although he only knew basic blade techniques, with the [Blade Master] Divine Destiny, the blade's edge carried a hint of profoundness.
The charging lesser demonic creatures were defeated with just one move.
Lin Tian and the others were surprised that Su Chen would proactively charge forward.
But at this moment, they had no time to think about these things.
Lin Tian and his group began shouting for reinforcement.
The two great beasts in front of them were not easy to deal with.
But at this time, Wu Yi's side also encountered demonic creature harassment.
He immediately ran back to the tent camp and asked Liu Ting to come and reinforce them.
If they didn't arrive soon, they didn't know how many lives would be lost today.
Su Chen realized that these demonic creatures had a plan.
Their frequent harassment, both at night and during the day, was intentional.
They wanted to exhaust the group.
But they didn't expect Su Chen and others to come and reinforce them.
If it were a day later, they didn't know how many people would have perished today.
Most great beasts had already awakened intelligence, and although they couldn't speak, they could use some means and were quite cunning.
Lin Tian and his team continued to shout for reinforcements, but they only received vague responses.
The demonic creatures were closing in, and after fighting together for so long, they began to form a battle array to engage the enemy.
Long spears thrust forward, their tips shimmering like rainbows as they attacked.
The brilliant firelight illuminated the scene, revealing numerous small demons that had already been pierced through.
But these demons were clearly not as easy to deal with as the ones they usually encountered.
The larger demon behind them seemed to have a commanding presence, and the smaller demons showed no fear.
One tiger demon was restrained by Su Chen, while another drew a large blade and slashed at them like a human.
Lin Tian and his team formed a tight formation to engage the demons, thrusting their spears forward.
This tiger demon seemed to want them to fight in this manner.
The other smaller demons appeared to have received an order and directly pounced towards the group from the side.
Sharp claws and fangs slashed, tearing their robes and causing blood to gush out.
But this was not enough; these demons clearly intended to kill them.
"Protect your necks and retreat!"
Su Chen shouted, and at this critical moment, no one cared who had given the order.
In times of crisis, a single word of advice could calm everyone's minds.
In battles between beasts, the goal is always to bite the opponent's neck.
Once the neck is bitten, one loses their fighting ability instantly, and even a divine being would struggle to save them.
Injuries elsewhere still allow for a chance to fight back.
Facing these demons, they must protect their necks.
The group fought while retreating, turning their defense into a means of restraint.
These demons were not stupid; they knew the group had reinforcements, and the longer they dragged this out, the more they would be at a disadvantage.
The tiger demon no longer conserved its strength and suddenly charged forward.
One person was directly knocked to the side.
Seeing this, the other small demons immediately wanted to pounce and bite him.
This person also remembered Su Chen's recent reminder, enduring the pain of being torn and bitten on their leg while still protecting their neck.
As the leader, Lin Tian showed no fear.
His long spear thrust forward.
Seeing this, Su Chen felt that Lin Tian indeed had the right to scold those who feared death and sought glory.
At this moment, he seemed like a descending celestial being, offering aid to his fellow junior disciple.
It was no wonder the others trusted him so much.
In the distance, the voices of the reinforcements could be heard, attempting to drive away the demons.
The group of demons also seemed tired, their stamina not infinite.
It's common to see large beasts being sluggish, except when they're hunting, when they become fierce and swift. Otherwise, they move slowly.
This is to conserve energy and reduce consumption.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, a tiger demon roared towards the sky.
The next moment, the demons began to retreat.
But the other tiger demon suddenly pounced towards Lin Tian, its huge mouth clamping down on his arm.
With immense strength, it carried him off into the wilderness.
The other demons followed closely behind, also retreating.
"Lin Tian!"
The others wanted to save Lin Tian, but as they pursued, they were blocked by the demons at the rear.
Soon, the tiger demon had carried Lin Tian across the small river and into the dense forest.
Entering the wilderness and thickets, even rescue would be impossible.
The bramble bushes were dense, and Lin Tian, carried into them, would soon lose his trail.
Su Chen took out a pill and swallowed it.
The next moment, he leaped forward, jumping over the river and charging into the thicket.
"Su Chen! Don't rush into the thicket!"
The others were also startled, not because they didn't want to save Lin Tian, but because entering the thicket would immediately lose track of the demons.
Going in would not save Lin Tian.
But Su Chen didn't hesitate.
In an instant, his figure was swallowed by the thicket.
This was truly seeking glory and fearing death.
