Chapter 1548 Mark
"This is simple. Let's make some marks along the way. Senior Brother Qi will naturally discover it when it gets bright tomorrow." Chen Xuan said.
"That's all it can do."
So every time he turned a corner, a disciple would use his sword to make a deep mark on the ground, mark it with an arrow, and place a branch next to it. In this way, as long as Senior Brother Qi passes through this section of the road, he will definitely be able to find where they are fleeing to.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Senior Brother Qi caught up with him, and everyone couldn't help but be very happy. After the impact of the beast tide, the eleven mortal realm disciples and Senior Brother Qi were all intact. This is indeed a miracle. Everyone knew in their hearts that Chen Xuan took the greatest credit this time, but Elder Gong and the eight cultivator-level disciples also had credit, including those left behind by the Yuyu Sect. It was precisely because of their frontal breakthrough that they led the large force of the Orcs there, creating conditions for Chen Xuan and the others to break through.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but start to be wary of Elder Gong and the others. But there is no use worrying. What should happen has happened. It is already noon the next day. The battle has ended long ago. Those who can escape are probably far away from the Black Wind Forest.
Also, what fate awaits the humans trapped inside the forest?
"This news must be spread immediately. Of course, it is very possible for Elder Gong to escape, but we cannot completely count on him. There are at least over 10,000 people besieged. This is a huge event." Senior Brother Qi said .
Everyone nodded, with solemn expressions on their faces.
The twelve people couldn't tell their direction in the forest, because after they escaped, they arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment. At first, everyone could still figure out the general direction, but after climbing over several mountains, the direction was completely lost.
Of course, this problem would be much easier to solve on a sunny day, but it has been raining for the past few days, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, stopping and falling. The shadow of the sun cannot be seen at all, and everyone is really at a loss.
Do we have to wait until the weather clears up before we can go out?
At this time, Chen Xuan was recalling the method of identifying directions in the forest that his father had taught him. Chen Chengfeng had been stationed in the forest for four years, and there were many rainy days, so he knew how to identify the direction at such times. It's just that at that time, Chen Xuan was still too young, so he didn't take it to heart at all when he heard Chen Chengfeng taught him this knowledge.
But no matter what, Chen Xuan still remembered some shadows, which seemed to be related to trees.
Chen Xuan looked at a towering ancient tree in front of him. It had a thick trunk and lush branches, occupying a large area of space. Due to its existence, it can be said that there are no more decent trees around, mainly because its branches and leaves block all sunlight. Therefore, sunlight is the most important thing for trees. Trees will flourish in places with sufficient sunlight. Even on the same tree, only the parts that receive the most sunlight will grow vigorously.
Of the ancient trees in front of me, it was obvious that the branches and leaves on my right were much denser. This must be the point of contact with the sunlight, and the direction of this point of contact was-south.
After figuring this out, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel extremely happy, and said to the eleven people with depressed faces: "I know how to identify the direction in the forest on a rainy day. Everyone, come and listen."
Senior Brother Qi shouted: "Really? Do you really know the method?" Others also looked unbelieving.
Chen Xuan told these people the relevant knowledge, and everyone suddenly realized it, but a few still didn't believe it and wanted to find other big trees to verify the authenticity. Of course, the results proved that what Chen Xuan said was completely correct.
The place Chen Xuan and the others are going to is the middle, which is due north relative to the Black Wind Forest, and their right hand side is due south, which means that their group is heading west now. This direction is exactly the direction where the orcs surrounded Elder Gong and the others yesterday.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. If a group of them arrived there, and the orcs had not retreated deep into the forest, or pursued them to the edge of the forest, wouldn't they themselves have fallen into a trap?
Of course, this is only a very low possibility. Chen Xuan believes that even if these twelve people really arrive at the place where they started to escape yesterday, they should not encounter the orcs again, because these orcs have more important things to do. To do it, that is to annihilate the more than 10,000 cultivators trapped in the forest.
But instead of being afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Senior Brother Qi will not choose any risky actions. His main task now is to bring these low-level disciples back to Shenxin Sect safely and report what happened in the Black Wind Forest.
As for what the Shenxin Sect would do when they found out, that was not something that a fourth-level practitioner like him could worry about.
So Senior Brother Qi issued an order to adjust the direction, almost turning a ninety-degree turn, heading straight towards the north.
After identifying the direction, Chen Xuan and the others left the Black Wind Forest shortly after nightfall. After exiting the forest, everyone truly felt that they were completely out of danger. However, they did not dare to waste time. They had more important things to do, which was to tell other human races about the situation in the forest. The most important thing was to inform the Shenxin Sect as soon as possible.
Senior Brother Qi has no shirk in his duty. Although he does not yet have the ability to fly with a sword, compared to the remaining mortal realm disciples, he is the most suitable person to travel quickly. After he told a ninth-level mortal disciple to take charge, he left in a hurry.
Everyone was anxious and hungry now. Chen Xuan wanted to take out the food in the space ring several times for everyone to share, but he held back in the end. As the saying goes, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. After what happened with the top-quality wood spirit crystal, Chen Xuan's mind has matured a lot. Anyway, if you don't eat for one or two meals, everyone will not starve to death, and if you reveal that you have a space ring, it will cause a lot of trouble, and the worst ending will involve Old Man Hu and Xian'er. As long as they knew that their space ring came from them, and coupled with the hollow stone incident caused by Old Man Hu, some people would definitely suspect that Old Man Hu knew some secrets.
The next morning, Chen Xuan and the others finally found the human town with their exhausted bodies.
There are also many cultivators who plan to go to the Black Wind Forest gathered in this town. Some of them are about to go to the Black Wind Forest, and the rest are those who have not yet made material preparations.
Seeing Chen Xuan and the others looking embarrassed, someone immediately came over to ask what happened. And as long as someone asked, these eleven people would tell those people what they had experienced. At first almost no one believed what they said and laughed at them for being alarmist. But by noon, whether it was because the same news came from other towns, or because the three of them became tigers, everyone in this town started talking about the strange events in the Black Wind Forest. The person who told the story even seemed to have experienced it himself, and he spoke vividly. If Chen Xuan and the others heard it, they might think that when they were charging into battle, that person might be peeking nearby. But at this time, these eleven people had already left the small town. After they found out the way, they headed straight towards the Shenxin Gate.
Three days later, Chen Xuan and the others returned to Shenxin Sect and were immediately invited by the elders to report the situation.
When he arrived at the elder group, Chen Xuan learned about the situation of Elder Gong and the eight cultivator realm disciples. Elder Gong fled back to the sect with three disciples, but the other five disciples lost their precious lives in this mission. The situation in Yuyu Sect was even worse. Only Elder Yuan escaped, and even Deputy Wang, who was at the fifth level, was lost in the beast tide.
When the group of elders heard Elder Gong's report, they couldn't help but be furious. The Shenxin Sect only accepted three or five disciples a year. Now, five of them are confirmed to have died. There are also twelve disciples who are also surrounded in the forest. I'm afraid there are more. It's more bad than good. This caused the sect to lose at least three years of disciples at once, and the sect couldn't help but be shocked. Fortunately, only half a day later, Senior Brother Qi returned to the sect and reported the news that all the other eleven people had escaped safely. This finally made the faces of those too young elders feel a little relieved.
It's just that five disciples died, which is barely better than before. As for these five disciples who are already in the realm of cultivators, they are not within the scope of their consideration. In their eyes, the low-level disciples are all the same. They are all geniuses. As long as they are given time, they cannot tell who will be the most important to the sect. The door is more useful.
Corresponding to the rage of Shenxin Sect, the entire continent was suddenly in an uproar. It has been four days since the beast tide appeared in the Black Wind Forest. What happened to the people who were trapped inside the forest?
Some sects and even their elites left the Black Wind Forest. If all these people were wiped out by the beasts this time, I am afraid that many human sects would be greatly reduced in strength. What is completely different from the Shenxin Sect is that the average sect can reach the cultivator level and is already at the top of the sect.
Although the Human Alliance should also be aware of this incident, because it takes a lot of time for them to contact people everywhere, there is no way to take measures to rescue those who are besieged in a short time. Therefore, all the sects related to this incident immediately chose to send more personnel to the outskirts of the Black Wind Forest to stand by.
The five disciples of the Shenxin Sect were confirmed to have died, but the Shenxin Sect was also responsible, and all the people they sent were peerless masters. Firstly, they wanted to avenge the five disciples, and secondly, because they knew that there were so many orcs in the Black Wind Forest that could form a beast tide, they just took advantage of this opportunity to complete the tasks assigned by the Human Alliance. After all, they were just wondering where to find so many high-level orcs!
