Chapter 7: Towards the Forest
Ah—" Su Yu shouted wildly, flinging his arm back, and the wooden stick slipped from his hand, crashing heavily against the chest of the green-skinned monster that had just struck him.
Due to a sudden injury, after a simple bandaging treatment on the spot, apart from the deceased student, the remaining thirty individuals carried the last hope of over one thousand people from the entire school as they stepped into the unknown forest
However, it has now become apparent that this is not the case; the speed of the green-skinned monsters exceeds that of some of them. Moreover, the small door next to the iron gate is too narrow; one person can easily rush out, but two people together can easily get stuck. Because everyone is eager to rush out, three people at the back ended up crowding together and were unable to squeeze out, thus causing a delay of just a few seconds.
Finally, the other teachers and students with extraordinary abilities rushed forward, surrounding the remaining green-skinned monsters.
Su Yu's right shoulder was nearly crushed, Qin Jia Gui's left arm was injured, and although Zhang Zhongmou fell, he fortunately was not hurt
Before there was time to think further, several green-skinned monsters charged forward. Another student who had accompanied Zhang Zhongmou was thrown off balance by Zhang's fall. Although he possessed extraordinary abilities and managed to block the wooden club of one green-skinned monster, he was struck in the chest by the wooden club swung by another green-skinned monster
Su Yu wrapped his left arm around the neck of the green-skinned monster, and with a burst of terrifying strength, a crisp sound of "crack" was heard. Blood gushed from the monster's mouth as he twisted its neck.
Su Yu was taken aback
All six green-skinned monsters have been dealt with, but on the side of the crowd, one student with extraordinary abilities in both the arts and literature has also died. This student was named Ye Xuan, and at this moment, someone is wailing loudly. A girl is weeping over the corpse, clearly devastated; this girl, named Lin Xiao, was his girlfriend
Su Yu
Among them, Su Yu's performance once again drew attention. Although he was injured, he single-handedly dealt with three green-skinned monsters. Had it not been for Su Yu's courageous actions just now, Qin Jiaguo and Zhang Zhongmou, who charged to the front, would have perished on the spot
Su Yu's right arm was immobile, and he had not originally intended to rush forward. Based on his estimation, six green-skinned monsters and thirteen individuals with extraordinary abilities would be more than sufficient to handle the situation easily. In fact, the majority of those present shared the same sentiment as him
Everyone instinctively felt a tightening in their hearts. Even Su Yu, who had already killed four green-skinned monsters, was no exception. His left hand involuntarily tightened around the wooden stick, and on the back of his left hand, three small black scales emerged.
Su Yu recalled something and quietly asked, "Zhong Mou, didn't you also kill a green-skinned monster? You should have gained extraordinary power as well. Why did it seem at that time that your strength was no match for that green-skinned monster?"
Su Yu—inside the iron gate, Su Yu was frantically shouting as he rushed forward, gripping the doorpost tightly. It was evident to everyone that Su Yu was in danger, fearing that he might lose his life at any moment, and the blood from his right shoulder had already stained half of his body red
***
Su Yu, you must return safely. Su Yu silently repeated in her heart, her hands tightly gripping the iron pillar of the gate, watching from a distance as Su Yu and the group of thirty departed through the gap in the door.
When the green-skinned monster saw humans rushing out, it stopped banging on the iron door, tightened its grip on the wooden stick, and charged towards Qin Jiagu, Zhang Zhongmou, and others, swinging the stick in its hand and emitting sharp cries.
Bright red blood immediately sprayed from his mouth, and everyone inside the iron gate, whether students or teachers, gasped in shock.
Then several people suddenly grabbed the girl, and someone shouted: "Lin Xiao, don't be impulsive, Ye Xuan will be fine—" The scene suddenly became chaotic
This is largely thanks to the incredible and subtle effects of the foreign force within the left arm, which not only accelerates the healing process but also alleviates the pain; otherwise, Su Yu would have fainted from the agony long ago
With a loud "bang," the green-skinned monster let out a wretched scream as it tumbled heavily out, causing those in the distance to gasp in shock. Su Yu charged into the horde of monsters and struck down with another blow.
With a loud bang, Qin's nobleman waved his right hand, and a small black metallic spot appeared on the back of his hand. The wooden stick in his hand collided with that of a green-skinned monster, causing both parties to grunt and stagger back.
Although Su Yu's right shoulder was simply bandaged, it was extremely painful, causing him to frown continuously along the way, with a layer of cold sweat appearing on his face
The equal level of both parties allowed Su Yu's terrifying extraordinary power to come into play
Su Yu looked at the fourth scale that had finally emerged on the back of his hand, a sense of inexplicable satisfaction surging within him
Su Yu, who was closely following him, was taken aback. Didn't Zhang Zhongmou kill a green-skinned monster? Logically, his strength should be no less than that of the green-skinned and the book monster, so how could it be...
When Su Yu pushed aside the green-skinned monster whose neck he had just broken, the other green-skinned monsters had also been dealt with
Damn it! Su Yu gritted his teeth, feeling an unusual force stirring in his left arm. Instinctively, he swung his arm, and immediately, it was struck hard by a wooden stick. The pain in his left arm was excruciating, as if it were breaking, but unexpectedly, despite the intense pain, his arm managed to deflect the wooden stick. Remarkably, his left arm was only in pain, yet uninjured.
Having absorbed the crystals of four green-skinned monsters, three black scales emerged on the back of Su Yu's hand. He was unaware of the function of these black scales, but he could ascertain that the foreign power within his left arm was immensely strong. With a single strike, he managed to smash the green-skinned monster that was about to harm Zhang Zhongmou, sending both the club and the creature flying away.
Although two crystals were absorbed consecutively, the fourth scale did not appear, and the intensity of the anomalous force did not increase significantly. It seems that the more one kills, the less effective the amplification effect becomes
This time, his wooden stick collided with the wooden stick of the green-skinned monster facing him, but the green-skinned monster's stick was unable to withstand Su Yu's stick. Instead, it was struck back by Su Yu's terrifying power, causing its own stick to rebound and hit its own head.
A sense of sadness enveloped the surroundings
Zhang Zhongmou let out a low roar, swung the bat, and with a loud "bang," his expression changed dramatically. His arms trembled violently, and the wooden bat unexpectedly slipped from his grip and flew out, causing him to stumble and fall out.
Qin Jiagui gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan, the first to rush out, followed by Zhang Zhongmou and the student next to him who also possessed extraordinary abilities, and then Su Yu
Home is precious
Immediately, a series of bone-crushing sounds erupted as the green-skinned monster was struck by the wooden stick thrown with the force unleashed by Su Yu, causing it to stagger back several steps before it finally collapsed to the ground with a loud crash. A flash of black light appeared within its body, and another black crystal vanished into Su Yu's left hand.
Faintly, cries could be heard from within the iron gate, and the situation suddenly became extremely critical. Su Yu let out a low growl and charged forward, seeing a green-skinned monster about to swing a club down on the fallen Zhang Zhongmou. Without a moment's hesitation, Su Yu swung his club heavily to strike.
Although he had just killed two green-skinned monsters, Su Yu found himself surrounded, with three green-skinned monsters encircling him, unarmed.
At the same moment, the sound of "shasha" echoed from all around, and in the blink of an eye, thirty people found themselves surrounded
The school's iron gate was once again tightly locked, awaiting the return of everyone two days later. However, among the thirty-one members of the group, one met with misfortune and died just after leaving. How many of the remaining thirty will be able to return alive in two days?
"Don't be afraid!" Someone shouted wildly from behind.
In just a few seconds of time difference, the individuals behind did not rush forward in time. Additionally, as Zhang Zhongmou fell, another student named Shi Xuan was struck in the chest and also collapsed. As a result, only Qin Jiagui and Su Yu were left to face six green-skinned monsters.
In theory, after absorbing the black crystal from a green-skinned monster, the strength should be comparable to that of a green-skinned monster
A series of sharp, piercing screams and muffled groans erupted, among which one student let out a muffled groan and staggered back, while another green-skinned monster was dealt with by hetushu.com.
A muffled groan sounded from Qin Jiagu, and as Su Yu turned his head, he saw Qin Jiagu fall over. Then, a sharp pain shot through his right shoulder, causing him to let out a cry of agony. Just that moment of distraction allowed a blow to land on his right shoulder, flesh and blood flying, nearly crushed to pieces.
Su Yu had injured his right shoulder, and his right arm was immobilized. Zhang Zhongmou then took up his backpack and closely followed Su Yu.
The amount of food required for more than one thousand people in the academy is also astonishing
Beyond the school lies an expanse of forest, stretching endlessly in all directions. The only option is to choose a direction and continue forward, hoping to find a way out of the forest or perhaps encounter other rescue teams. At the very least, one hopes to find some food.
With a loud "bang," the brain matter burst, and the green-skinned monster swayed and collapsed to the ground, while the black crystal in its head transformed into a beam of black light and vanished into Su Yu's right hand
They have not undergone professional training and do not understand many techniques or striking skills, only able to swing and hit in such a simple manner. Fortunately, these green-skinned monsters are not very skilled hunters either, being similarly clumsy.
Zhang Zhongmou touched the half of his face wrapped in white gauze and said somewhat strangely: "I... my extraordinary power... is here"
Among them, a girl suddenly rushed forward as if she had gone mad, shouting: "Ye Xuan—"
Everyone who participated in the team this time has already exited through the iron gate, including the eighteen ordinary individuals. As they gazed upon the bloody scene before them, their palms were drenched in cold sweat
Everyone's expression was somber, their hearts weighed down as if burdened by lead
