Chapter 1033: Chapter 914: Crisis Reemerges
Southern Tibet is located on a plateau, vast and sparsely populated, with hundreds of miles of uninhabited land and relatively complex terrain.
After the threat of high-level War God level mutant beasts was eliminated, the human youth alliance, led by Lv Zhan and Su Liuli, fought a difficult and extraordinary battle, finally repelling the remaining mutant beasts.
After counting the numbers, a shadow clouded over the faces of Lv Zhan and the others. The losses in this battle were too great; the novice cultivators sent by the Six Major Alliances suffered the most severe losses.
Due to their lack of strength, even when they encountered early-stage War God level mutant beasts, they could only flee for their lives, or rely on their numerical advantage, with a dozen people attacking a single mutant beast to kill it at some cost.
The young elites of the Huaxia Alliance also suffered significant losses. After all, they were the main force in this battle, the vanguard directly confronting the mutant beasts.
Not until the beast tide was repelled and the casualties counted did Lv Zhan instruct the people to form a circle in a slightly higher terrain area, set up a sentry, have the injured heal in place, and those uninjured to quickly recover their Gang Qi, and then locate and bury the bodies of the fallen cultivators.
“Alert, alert! An unidentified flying object is rapidly approaching!”
However, just when Lv Zhan and others had rested for only an hour, the sentry suddenly reported.
Whoosh——
With the alarm sounded, everyone instantly sprang to their feet.
At this moment, everyone was on edge, as mutant beasts were not only beasts; flying creatures could also be mutant beasts, and those adept at flying were all incredibly powerful and not to be underestimated.
Lv Zhan instantly leapt up, focusing his eye power to look at the approaching black dot, and Ye Hei also came to his side, narrowing his eyes to a slit.
After a moment, Ye Hei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s my grandfather and the others coming to support us.”
Indeed, following Ye Hei’s words, those black dots quickly enlarged. It was a high-level flying magic artifact, led by elite cultivators Lv Yuan, Ye Feng, and Wushan.
“Phew~”
Seeing their arrival, many couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. This trip to Southern Tibet made them fully realize the importance of strength. Without strength, in any place, they could only be cannon fodder.
“What’s the situation? Why are you all here? Can’t that small city be held?”
A moment later, the flying artifact arrived above the crowd’s location, and Lv Yuan disembarked, urgently calling Lv Zhan over to inquire about the situation.
“Here’s what happened…”
Lv Zhan recounted everything that happened after their arrival in full detail, emphasizing how Ye Fan, to save them, bravely killed three high-level War God level mutant beasts at great personal risk, and after being severely injured by a top-level War God level mutant beast, led it away alone to prevent it from slaughtering human cultivators.
“Hiss~”
After listening to Lv Zhan’s account, Lv Yuan, Ye Feng, and the others all gasped in amazement, then felt a deep sense of worry.
There was no denying that Ye Fan indeed created a miracle by managing to kill three high-level War God level mutant beasts while being hunted by a top-level War God level mutant beast, thus relieving their crisis.
But they all believed that Ye Fan was likely doomed this time!
After all, Ye Fan had only cultivated to the pinnacle of the mid-level War God realm. Being able to kill high-level War God level mutant beasts across levels was already very rare. However, escaping from the hands of a top-level War God level mutant beast was nearly impossible.
“This is not a place for resting. It’s too open here, with no defensible position, and if the beast tide comes again, our losses will be greater. Hence, we must retreat to Wuzha City immediately, where it is an ancient city that could be defended advantageously.”
After inspecting the surrounding terrain, Lv Yuan immediately made a decision. This place was absolutely unsuitable for holding out because there was no defensible position. Once the beast tide arrived, people would have to block with their flesh and blood, and given the strength of these people, it would be impossible to hold.
“No, we must hold even if we can’t. Ye Zi hasn’t returned yet; we can’t abandon him. If you want to go, go; I’ll stay and wait for him!”
Seeing his grandfather suggesting a retreat, Lv Zhan was the first to stand up in opposition. If it weren’t for Ye Fan’s daring actions to kill three high-level War God level mutant beasts and selflessly leading away the top-level War God level mutant beast, they might have already become blood food for the mutant beasts.
Now Ye Fan’s life or death was uncertain, how could they just leave?
“We have many people now. Relying on the advantage of numbers, just to rescue Ye Fan without engaging in a death struggle with the top-level War God level mutant beast, we should be able to save Ye Zi. Can’t we go rescue him?”
Lv Zhan looked hopefully at his grandfather, Ye Feng, Wushan, and the others. As long as they stepped in, together with him, Su Liuli, Chu Ji, and the others, they should be able to manage just a rescue.
Lv Yuan shook his head and said: “Every realm is different. You do not know the terror of a top-level War God level mutant beast. Even if we all go, it is useless, ultimately only courting death. So much time has passed; Ye Fan has likely already met his end.”
“I don’t believe it. Ye Zi won’t die. He’s best at creating miracles. No one can kill him, not even mutant beasts. If you won’t go, I’ll go myself. Even if it’s death, I’ll be content to die alongside Ye Zi.”
Lv Zhan, with his neck stiffened, grabbed the black Big Spear and started to walk out.
Lv Yuan pulled Lv Zhan back, saying: “Are you crazy? Going there is no different from seeking death. If Ye Fan really died, do you think he would want his sacrifice to save you to be in vain, just to let you walk into death yourself?”
Ye Feng also walked over to advise: “Yes, what you need to do now is not to act on a moment’s rash bravery, which is a trait not worth embracing. If you truly care for Ye Fan, you should preserve your useful body and kill more mutant beasts in the future for revenge for him, rather than going to your death now.”
“But…how can I choose to retreat at this moment? What if Ye Zi isn’t dead yet? What if he comes back and can’t find us?”
Lv Zhan was still unwilling to give up. To him, Lv Yuan and the others were just too scared to fight the top-level War God level mutant beast head-on.
“Alright, stop arguing!”
Just as Lv Zhan and Lv Yuan were wrestling with indecision, Chu Ji suddenly stood up, her eyes red, clearly having cried.
When they saw her speak, everyone fell silent because she was the true family of Ye Fan and had more right to speak than anyone else.
“Xiao Zhan, thank you for your concern for Xiao Fan, but you know the current situation. Although the beast tide has been temporarily repelled, who knows how many strong mutant beasts remain hidden in the Holy Land of Southern Tibet?
“Once those mutant beasts form a beast tide and attack again, can we hold our ground? You’re worried about Xiao Fan, but I am even more worried than you are. However, I believe Xiao Fan will be fine.”
“Yes, Brother Lv, what Grandpa Lu said is true. There’s no place to defend here. If the mutant beasts launch a large-scale attack, we might be able to cut a bloody path to escape, but what about those people? They are also human cultivators. Can we just watch as they are slaughtered and devoured by mutant beasts?”
Su Liuli took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her worry for Ye Fan, with reddened eyes, she explained the seriousness of the situation to Lv Zhan and everyone. No matter what, this is definitely not a place to linger.
Wuzha City is an ancient military fortress, with strong walls and thick defenses, it’s easy to defend and hard to attack, a truly defensible place.
“Uh…”
Lv Zhan pursed his lips, but in the end, said nothing.
As for his friendship with Ye Fan, they are absolutely close friends, but no matter how good their relationship is, it couldn’t be better than Chu Ji and Su Liuli, right?
Su Liuli is Ye Fan’s girlfriend, though not yet publicly, but no one is blind.
Chu Ji even more so, she practically watched Ye Fan grow up. Since both of them are advocating for heading to Wuzha City, what else could he say?
After a long silence, Lv Zhan finally nodded, indicating his compromise.
Seeing this, Lv Yuan immediately said to Ye Feng and others: “Gather everyone at once, head towards Wuzha City. Once we reach Wuzha City, no matter how powerful the beast tide is, we at least have a place to defend.”
Hearing that they were going to Wuzha City, the rookie cultivators of the Five Great Alliances were overjoyed. They were genuinely terrified, having never encountered mutant beasts before and they were scared out of their wits.
Having a solid city as support and setting up a strong defensive formation would be much better than the current situation. With Lv Yuan and the others, maybe they wouldn’t have to sacrifice themselves at all.
Soon, the team was ready and led by Leng Feng, they headed towards Wuzha City.
Southern Tibet is part of Huaxia, and Leng Feng, being Yan’s disciple, was quite familiar with the terrain of Southern Tibet, making him the perfect guide.
Just as the army was preparing to depart, a thunderous voice suddenly rang in their ears: “Humans, you slaughtered my kin, today none of you shall leave, I shall use your blood and flesh as a tribute to my companions and clan!”
Along with the voice, a top-level War God-level mutant beast, covered in black scales and with a black horn on its head, stepped on gang qi, appearing like a bolt of lightning before everyone’s eyes, holding a golden crown in its hand.
“Hiss~”
Lv Yuan and the others gasped, shocked beyond words, never expecting that at this critical moment, this top-level War God-level mutant beast would pursue them here.
Swish!
The faces of the rookies from the Five Great Alliances turned pale with fear, trembling violently as if electrocuted.
“This…”
Su Liuli’s vision darkened, nearly collapsing to the ground. She had already seen this beast before; it was the very top-level War God-level mutant beast that Ye Fan had drawn away.
It appeared, but Ye Fan did not. What does this imply?
Ye Fan is dead!
“Is Ye Fan dead?”
It’s not just Su Liuli thinking this; everyone else is as well.
They all knew that Ye Fan had previously lured away the top-level War God-level mutant beast, and now, the beast had returned, yet Ye Fan was nowhere to be seen…
This… made them believe that Ye Fan fell at the hands of the top-level War God-level mutant beast!
“Return Ye Zi’s life!!”
The thought arose, and Lv Zhan roared in madness, grabbing his big spear, ready to charge to his death.
Not only him, but Su Liuli, Chu Ji, Ye Hei, Wu Zi, Xiao Selang, and others’ eyes were also bloodshot, ready to fight to the death!
At this moment, they had already forgotten the danger, only knowing that Ye Fan was their friend, their family…
They wanted to avenge Ye Fan!
“Come back!!”
Just as Lv Zhan and the others were about to take action, Lv Yuan shouted angrily, and with Ye Feng and Wushan, blocked Lv Zhan and the others, sternly yelling: “Even Ye Fan isn’t a match for this beast, what can you achieve by going up there? Do you want to die??”
Swish!
Hearing Lv Yuan’s angry reprimand, Lv Zhan, Su Liuli, and the others woke up as if from a dream, the anger on their faces vanished, replaced by gravity!
Because…
They all realized that even if Lv Yuan and the other two teamed up, they absolutely couldn’t withstand the top-level War God-level mutant beast!
They were all likely to die here!!
