The stop this time was similar to last time, still near the river.
The sparrow chirped again, unwilling to get close to the river.
Although he was safe last time, to be on the safe side, Chen Ping still chose a slope away from the river to build the earth cave.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Zhang, let's take a bath too?" When five or six of Chen Ping's people gathered around the campfire to eat and replenish their energy, Lin Changshou eagerly suggested.
There were already people bathing in the river, trying to wash away their fatigue.
"I'm not going, I'm just eating." Chen Ping handed a piece of monster meat jerky to Yu Lingchun, then handed another piece to Zhang Xianqiu, and ate it with great interest.
Zhang Zheng's wife was so weak that Zhang Zheng was naturally not in the mood to take a cold bath. When Lin Changshou saw that no one was going, he lost interest.
"Haha." Zhang Xianqiu shouted:
"Uncle, this is spicy..."
Then he stared at another piece of non-spicy monster meat jerky in Chen Ping's hand and swallowed his saliva.
"Daddy has this kid here. Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, please forgive me, this kid is getting more and more lawless." Zhang Zheng reprimanded awkwardly.
This kid is so embarrassing.
"Uncle's food is delicious." Zhang Xianqiu said weakly.
"It's okay, kid." Chen Ping smiled, handed Zhang Xianqiu a few pieces of original monster meat jerky, and asked Zhang Zheng:
"Are you okay?"
Zhang Zheng seemed to have lost weight during this period. He was really carrying a heavy load and moving forward.
"It's okay." Zhang Zheng originally sighed, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw that his wife was beside him, and his tone became extremely relaxed.
Seeing this, Chen Ping didn't ask any more questions.
Right now.
"Bang..."
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the deep river.
A huge green snake raised its two-story-high body, its scales glowed with emerald green, opened its bloody mouth, and its long letter was like a sword, launching a fatal attack on the casual cultivators swimming in the river and gathering on the shore.
Suddenly a tragic sound echoed through the forest.
"His, hiss, hiss~"
"Beasts, don't be arrogant, watch the sword." A monk in the late stage of Qi training rushed forward.
"hold head high…"
The green snake spits spiritual sounds from its mouth.
The monk seemed to have lost the ability to move.
He was actually swallowed alive by a gun.
The monks who were eager to try were suddenly frightened.
"Second-level monster?"
"Run."
"It's a second-level monster."
"Escape into the forest." The voice of the head of the Ning Mansion.
"..."
Chen Ping heard the movement immediately.
His scalp was numb, and the combat power of the second-level monster was equivalent to that of a foundation-building monk. And being able to eat up a late-stage Qi-building beast in one bite, without giving the opponent any ability to counterattack, can only be considered a second-level monster with the strength of a late-stage Qi-building beast.
These people are vulnerable in the later stages of foundation building.
"run."
Chen Ping roared, picked up Yu Lingchun, and immediately galloped into the forest with all his strength.
Yu Lingchun was originally holding Zhang Xianqiu.
Several others followed.
"His, hiss, hiss~"
During the Green Snake's indiscriminate attack, a huge coercion suddenly came over. Chen Ping appeared in a golden tortoise shell in an instant, and the huge golden tortoise shell enveloped several people.
"Bang."
There was a loud noise, and a huge crack in the golden tortoise shell spread and broke instantly. Chen Ping and others flew backwards several feet uncontrollably. The next second, he continued to run into the forest like a line of blue smoke. After a few miles, he stopped when he heard no movement.
Chen Ping was panting heavily, not because he was tired, but because he was scared.
It was so thrilling.
Fortunately, he ran fast.
Just the aftermath caused the max-level golden tortoise shell to break in one blow, which was so terrifying.
In the later stage of foundation building, you will die if you touch it.
Even the head of the Ning Mansion chose to order a retreat.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Ping looked at Yu Lingchun. He had protected her the whole time, so there should be no problem.
"It's okay." Yu Lingchun was in shock, and Zhang Xianqiu was crying with runny nose in her arms.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for your kindness in protecting me just now. Otherwise, I may not be able to escape." Zhang Zheng was still frightened, so he thanked him.
Without Yu Lingchun holding Zhang Xianqiu all the time, and without Chen Ping's golden tortoise shell to protect him, several people would have been seriously injured even if they didn't die.
Lin Changshou also came over to express his gratitude, feeling sorry for him. Fortunately, he didn't go to take a bath in the stream.
Chen Ping didn't say much, it was just a matter of effort.
He is now more concerned about the current situation. Looking around, there are more and more monks gathered here, including disciples of the family.
Weeping, wailing, painful groans... there was a commotion everywhere.
After a while, the head of the Ning Mansion came over:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this place is really in chaos. Please help us, Daoist Fellow Chen, to maintain order here. Alas, there are too many injured monks, so we can only try our best to help."
Chen Ping asked nervously:
"Senior Ning, how is that monster?"
"It's back in the water. It's a second-level monster with late-stage foundation-building strength. We can't do anything about it. Fortunately, it just attacked the monks near the shore and then disappeared back. Alas, I was careless too. No The first thing to remind everyone is not to get into the water at will." The head of the Ning family said helplessly.
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
This time it was really thrilling.
It was the first time to face such a powerful opponent.
"Please also ask Fellow Daoist Chen to maintain order here. The smell of blood here is very strong. We must be careful to prevent other monsters from coming here." The head of the Ning family said worriedly.
"Okay. I'll do my best." Chen Ping promised.
After settling down Yu Lingchun and assisting the disciples from the two houses to clean up the scene, they realized how tragic this misfortune was.
Although Prince Ning and Prince Ning showed prudent methods of coordinated retreat in times of crisis, more than sixty monks still died, of which about ten were family disciples and the rest were casual cultivators.
Three of them died in the late stage of Qi training.
There were countless injuries, big and small, and more than a hundred people suffered injuries, ranging from minor injuries to the flesh to serious injuries such as broken legs and arms, or serious internal injuries.
What's even more troublesome is that many monks had no time to pick up their luggage at that time, and now they dare not go back to the river to pick it up. Even the material for survival has been lost.
Lin Changshou and Zhang Zheng were also among them, but their resting place was not far from Chen Ping and some distance from the river. They gritted their teeth and secretly went back to get it.
Looking at the mess on the other side of the river, they were glad that they did not choose to rest on the bank, and they were filled with emotion.
It's evening.
Faced with more than a hundred wounded, the head of the Ning family made a difficult decision to continue migrating and not stay here.
The smell of blood here is too strong, and something will happen sooner or later if you stay here for too long.
The large troops continued to set off throughout the night.
Unlike before, the entire team could no longer hear the second type of communication except painful groans.
Even those in the later stages of Qi training became extremely silent.
There was only the sound of hurried traffic.
After one night, some injured monks could no longer hold on and began to fall behind.
If there is one, then there are two.
But the big team still moved forward without stopping. If they can't find a suitable resting point, the big team won't stop for anyone.
Falling behind basically means death.
On the eleventh day, Zhang Zheng's wife Liang Yue finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with a thud.
Zhang Zheng hugged his wife and cried bitterly.
"Young Master, Yue'er...I will follow you in this life with no regrets...Put me here and say goodbye. I'm...tired and want to take a rest..." Liang Yue used up her last bit of strength.
Zhang Zheng
I burst into tears, bursting into tears.
He knew what this meant, he was helplessly watching his wife's life passing by, but he was unable to do anything.
There is only excruciating pain.
