Chapter 16: Dispelling Rumors
Chapter 16: Dispelling Rumors
Lin Tian also wanted to lend a hand, but his injured arms and legs were of little use.
Only his left hand could exert some strength.
The group of demons was catching up.
In the midst of the emergency, Lin Tian noticed that these demonic creatures seemed to have stepped on a trap.
Sharpened tree branches impaled and injured the pursuing demons.
These traps didn't kill the smaller demons, but they significantly slowed down their pursuit.
With his 【Indomitable Spirit】 Divine Destiny activated, Su Chen still felt a bit tired.
Carrying a person through the mountain forest was too exhausting.
Fortunately, they had reached the edge of the dense forest.
Su Chen mustered his strength and, instead of resting, quickened his pace toward the forest's edge.
Under the moonlight, he saw the landscape before him open up.
They had finally exited the forest.
Su Chen carried Lin Tian across the small stream and then set him down.
Breathing heavily, they took a break.
Lin Tian's body was covered in wounds, but at this moment, he didn't seem to feel much pain.
The joy of escaping death was enough to suppress all the agony.
Looking at Su Chen before him, Lin Tian felt a mix of emotions.
Gratitude was inevitable.
Beyond gratitude, there was also a hint of guilt.
He still remembered how he had treated Su Chen before.
Recalling this, he felt like slapping himself.
In the distance, Wu Yi and the others seemed to hear some sounds.
In the moonlight, they saw two figures.
With a hint of caution, they walked a distance before finally confirming it was Su Chen and Lin Tian.
They immediately quickened their pace and hurried over.
Seeing Lin Tian, they were thrilled and rushed to embrace him.
Lin Tian, in pain, exclaimed, "Don't hug me, it hurts!"
In the urgency of the situation, he seemed to endure the pain.
But now, as they hugged him, the movement tugged at his wounds, causing real pain.
"Quickly, prepare a stretcher to carry Lin Shixiong back."
Wu Yi instructed, and the others hurried to comply.
Wu Yi's gaze finally turned to Su Chen.
"Thanks to Su Shidi's brave rescue, I never imagined I'd survive today."
Before Wu Yi could say more, Lin Tian, beside him, began explaining.
Wu Yi nodded, not asking further.
After saving someone and being questioned, it would be too much to bear.
"As long as you're safe, we should return to the main camp to rest. Getting well-rested is crucial."
Wu Yi spoke and took out elixir pills for Su Chen and Lin Tian to consume.
Su Chen didn't decline and directly swallowed the pills.
After a brief rest, with the 【Indomitable】 Destiny, their stamina recovered quickly.
Not long after, the group prepared two stretchers.
It seemed they were preparing one for Su Chen as well.
Hearing Su Chen say he was fine and could walk, they all burst into laughter, the atmosphere becoming harmonious.
Perhaps from this moment on, everyone had started to acknowledge Su Chen.
Checking the time, it was close to early morning.
Wu Yi and his group's reinforcement had arrived just in time. On their first night, they encountered a demon ambush.
Had they arrived later, a major incident might have occurred.
"Let's go back to rest. We'll listen to our brothers and continue the defense."
They carried Lin Tian and headed back to the main camp to rest.
This night was a stroke of luck amidst disaster.
Returning to the main camp, the logistics disciples came to help.
They set up a separate tent for Lin Tian, whose numerous wounds needed attention.
Su Chen was also arranged to rest in a tent, and the others eagerly took on tasks, allowing Su Chen to relax.
Su Chen didn't hesitate, and although his stamina had recovered significantly, he was still somewhat tired.
With the aid of the Indomitable Spirit's Divine Destiny, he still needed to rest.
Carrying a warrior on his back while running through the mountains and forests was an extremely exhausting task.
As dawn approached, the perilous night finally came to an end.
In the main camp, they used up all the delicious ingredients they had.
Liu Tingcong and the others could tell that Su Chen and his group had helped them avert a disaster last night.
These demonic creatures had been frequently harassing them to wear them out and lower their guard.
And then, last night, they launched a surprise attack and captured them.
This was the most dangerous night, and it was precisely when Su Chen and the others helped them fend off the attack.
In terms of both emotions and reason, they should express their gratitude.
Su Chen didn't indulge in sleep and got up at the right time.
He walked out of the tent, washed up, and tidied himself.
Coincidentally, he ran into Yao Xiaoyu Senior Sister, and the two of them went to have some breakfast.
"Last night, there were a total of four great beasts that attacked. These beasts had planned it all along, intending to slaughter our entire camp last night."
When mentioning last night, Yao Xiaoyu seemed to have a lingering fear.
"I heard that Su Shidi took a risk and ventured deep into the dense forest to rescue Lin Tian?"
"I was lucky and didn't lose him.
If it weren't for the bright moonlight last night, I'm afraid my efforts would have been in vain."
Su Chen's words were rather modest, but upon hearing this, Yao Xiaoyu was still somewhat astonished.
When she heard this news, she actually didn't believe it.
Not to mention at midnight, even during the day, if those demonic creatures dragged them into the wilderness and dense forest, there was almost no chance of rescue.
It was impossible for others to go and save them.
But Su Chen went anyway.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoyu, like the others, had the same thought in her mind.
If this was true, why would Su Chen gain a reputation for seeking glory and fame?
They hadn't known each other for long, but Yao Xiaoyu could clearly sense that Su Chen wasn't like what she had heard in the rumors.
Instead, Yu Zhi's description of him was more in line with his character.
After breakfast, Su Chen had nothing to do, so he returned to the tent to rest.
Meanwhile, Yao Xiaoyu and the others had been called together by Wu Yi for a discussion.
The group sat down in the tent.
This tent was where Lin Tian had been resting.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed, with medicine applied to several parts of his body.
"Rest assured, everyone, I am, after all, an Eighth Rank Essence Refiner.
I sustained some injuries to my muscles and bones, but my brain wasn't harmed."
As he spoke, Lin Tian also smiled.
Without wasting any time, Lin Tian recounted everything that happened last night.
From the initial demonic creature's sneak attack to the moment he was carried away by the tiger demon, he told it all.
Regarding his experiences in the dense forest, Lin Tian didn't hide anything, sharing every detail he could remember.
Just listening to the story, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
"Actually, I had already prepared myself for death, and I would have been content to take down a great beast.
And it was at that moment that Su Shidi appeared with his blade.
He should also have the strength of an Eighth Rank Essence Refiner."
Lin Tian also recounted the process of being rescued.
Essentially, Su Chen had rescued him from the demon's lair.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again for a moment.
"So, Su Chen isn't at all like what the rumors say.
All that talk about seeking glory and fame, fearing danger and seeking survival, is just slander."
After hearing these words, Wu Yi summarized.
Everyone nodded slightly, but it seemed like they still had something to say.
