BXBX NOVEL Chapter 619 - The Scum Is A Navigator
Zhu Xi, Li Yan and Qian Jue were also stunned, too, like Sun Ri, when they saw Chen Wu\'s group. Chen Wu\'s group also brought wounded people! Like Tang Li, Li Yan, Qi Lan and Su Yi, the clothes of Qi Lan and Wu Lian were also red, soaked with blood. But, it was not their blood, and they don\'t have wounds on their body.
The blood came from the two people that Chen Wu and Wu Lian are carrying over their shoulders! As for who these two people are, there is no need to guess. The Shanliangde Sect disciples are now here. Don\'t mention the Xinfaxian Sect, Youxiwang Sect, and the allied sect with them, the Zunjingde Sect, Qianxu Sect, Huakai Sect, Huli Sect, Yuling Sect, Guhe Sect and the rogue cultivator Qi Lan.
That leaves the two people who weren\'t seen… they thought as they looked at the two people Wu Lian and Chen Wu are carrying over their shoulders. Wu Tie and Jin Yu! They looked at the unconscious Wu Tie and Jin Yu, stunned.
"They… they…" Li Yan muttered as he looked at Chen Wu, Wu Lian, Ling Yun and Cui Xiao. His gaze is inquiring.
Chen Wu heaved a sigh. "The four of us are looking for a demon\'s nest. We asked Ling Yun to find it, since he could see demonic qi." He said.
Indeed, Ling Yun has special eyes, so he would be the best person to use as a navigator.
"But, Ling Yun said that he saw three black clouds of demonic qi, meaning that the demonic qi in those places is very dense." Chen Wu continued. "The thickest black cloud is in the forest due northeast, and slightly dense in the canyon…" he said.
Zhu Xi, Li Yan and Qian Jue fell silent. Their groups came from the forest and the canyon.
"The last black cloud is the smallest, and in the mountain area." Chen Wu said as they walked back to the camp.
Cui Xiao pulled the stunned Sun Ri who was still standing there in a daze. She was really horrified by Chen Wu\'s and Wu Lian\'s appearances. After all, so far, the competition has never been this bloody, so this was her first time seeing them covered in blood.
Now, Zhu Xi, Li Yan and Qian Jue are worried for her after seeing her reaction. After all, Sun Yan\'s condition isn\'t good… they just hope that the others would have changed the Shanliangde Sect\'s bloody clothes into clean ones and also have covered up their wounds by bandaging them so Sun Ri would be less frightened when she sees her elder brother later, as well as her fellow disciples.
"Wu Tie and Jin Yu were actually there. If not for Ling Yun noticing them, and us not choosing that place since it has the smallest black cloud of demonic qi, we would have missed Wu Tie and Jin Yu." Chen Wu finished with a sigh.
"I actually also almost missed them…" Ling Yun said with a grimace.
"It is really fortunate. Don\'t belittle yourself." Wu Lian told Ling Yun.
"Thank you." Ling Yun smiled and sighed in relief since they didn\'t blame him.
"Oh, right… what about your side?" Chen Wu asked as he looked at Zhu Xi, Li Yan and Qian Jue. "Zhu Xi. Isn\'t your group heading northeast? Have you encountered a large group of demons?" he asked. "Now that I think about it, you look disheveled, and there are scratches on your arms…" he said as he looked at Zhu Xi. Then, he glanced at Qian Jue who has a similar appearance.
Zhu Xi and Qian Jue grimaced. "Yes, we did…" Zhu Xi answered.
"We have found Xi He." Qian Jue told them. "He was almost half-dead." He added.
"What?!" they exclaimed in shock.
Sun Ri was stunned. Li Yan grimaced when he saw her expression.
Chen Wu noticed it. "Li Yan, your group…" he said.
Li Yan placed a palm on his forehead. "We drifted due west, and didn\'t notice that we were near the canyon." He answered. "Then, Qi Lan smelled the scent of blood…" he glanced at Sun Ri whose face turned pale.
Chen Wu, Wu Lian, Ling Yun and Cui Xiao could guess. Li Yan looking at Sun Ri, their group must have found the Shanliangde Sect disciples. And since Ling Yun has seen a big cloud of demonic qi in the canyon, where the Shanliangde Sect disciples actually are that time, then, something bad must have happened to the four Shanliangde Sect disciples.
They looked at Sun Ri with sympathy in their eyes.
But, she ignored their gazes. "Brother!" Sun Ri cried as she ran back to their camp.
Chen Wu sighed. "Things have become harder for all of us." He said.
"But, the Shanliangde Sect has it hardest." Li Yan shook his head.
"En." Qian Jue nodded in agreement.
The Shanliangde Sect disciples, five out of six of them, were gravely injured. And if not for xiao Bao and xiao Ling saving them, the four of them would have died. Meanwhile, the other one, Xi He, was fortunate to be found by Qian Jue\'s group and was saved.
"Fortunately, they are strong and tenacious." Zhu Xi said. "Or else, they wouldn\'t have lasted long under the demons\' onslaught and would have died there and then." He said.
They all nodded in agreement. The strength Shanliangde Sect disciples is undeniable. The proof is them being on the lead in the leaderboard before. It was just unfortunate that they seem to be unlucky this year?
"Pft." Li Yan chuckled when he noticed their expressions. He could guess what they are thinking, that the Shanliangde Sect is unlucky.
It seems that the Huakai Sect is about to be relieved of their unlucky fate. The Shanliangde Sect has replaced them.
…
"Brother! Brother!" Sun Ri cried as she entered the infirmary where the Shanliangde Sect disciples are. "BROTHER!" she cried when she saw her elder brother lying on the bed.
Chen Wu and Wu Lian are following behind her. He Shun went to her side and handed her the qiankun pouch where the swords of her fellow disciples are kept. Jing Xu also gave her Xi He\'s sword.
"What?! There are more people?!" Tang Li exclaimed in surprise when he saw Chen Wu and Wu Lian are carrying people.
"They are Wu Tie and Jin Yu!" Jing De exclaimed in surprise when he recognized the two\'s clothes.
Chen Wu and Wu Lian carefully placed Wu Tie and Jin Yu on the other empty and clean beds. "Fortunately, we have prepared many beds for the infirmary." Chen Wu sighed in relief.
"… were you already expecting this?" Wu Lian asked him.
Chen Wu\'s lip twitched. "As if I am that kind of a person!" he frowned at him.
Wu Lian raised his hands. "Oh." He muttered when he saw the bloodstains on his hands, then their clothes. "Let\'s wash together." He told Chen Wu.
"En." Chen Wu nodded.
"Da ge!" Chen Su and Chen Yu called, looking very worried.
Chen Wu smiled and was about to pat their heads when he retracted his bloodstained hand. "I am fine. We weren\'t hurt. We have escaped very fast." He told them, reassuring them. Then, he and Wu Lian left.
"Let me help you, Xiang-jie." Fei Yinzi told Cui Xiang who looked a little pale after she has treated Sun Yan, Fei Luo and Xi Bing, who were the most injured.
Because Fei Huo is the weakest among them, the other tree naturally protected him despite they are battling against many demons. So, they have the most wounds, and some of them are very deep.
"Thank you." Cui Xiang sighed in relief.
Fei Yinzi nodded. "Wen Wen. Clean Wu Tie\'s and Jin Yu\'s wounds." He told Wen Wen.
"Okay!" Wen Wen nodded as he took the basin of water from Wen Yan, who is looking at him with a complicated gaze.
"Cui Xiao." Fei Yinzi called. "Take out the potions I will tell you. Then, pour it over their wounds." He said.
"En." Cui Xiao nodded as she stood on the side.
"Ling Yun…" Fei Yinzi called.
"Yes?!" Ling Yun immediately answered.
"… tell us what happened when your group saved Wu Tie and Jin Yu." Fei Yinzi said with a smile as he treated Xi He\'s wounds while Cui Xiang is currently treating Fei Huo\'s wounds.
"Pft." The others chuckled when they heard what Fei Yinzi said.
Ling Yun helplessly smiled. He was expecting for Fei Yinzi to ask him to help them treat Wu Tie\'s and Jin Yu\'s wounds.
"You can help us treat them. I am just joking earlier." Fei Yinzi said.
The others finally can\'t help but laugh. With this, the tense and gloomy atmosphere finally lightened. Even Sun Ri who was crying can\'t help but smile.
"Alright." Ling Yun answered as he took out some needles after Wen Wen has cleaned Wu Tie\'s and Jin Yu\'s wounds.. Then, he began narrating their group\'s \'adventure\' to save Wu Tie and Jin Yu in that mountain.
