117: C117 Second Stage

C117 Second Stage

0Nangong Lin clenched his fists tightly and forced himself to calm down. He signaled for his men to deal with this matter and increased his pace. He just wanted to get rid of this mob as soon as possible.

Unknowingly, a fog appeared in front of them. At first, it was light, but no one paid much attention to it. However, after they walked a short distance, the fog began to thicken, and it even affected their line of sight.

The team stopped. They had clearly felt that something was off. The racket that hadn't stopped since the start had miraculously disappeared. Everyone was on their guard.

Nangong Lin looked around with a serious expression.

Ah!

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out. Everyone was shocked!

"What's going on?" Nangong Lin shouted towards the direction of the scream.

"No …" I don't know, people. "It disappeared with a swoosh!"

A trembling voice came from the direction of the scream, causing Nangong Lin's heart to sink.

"The team has been attacked!"

Because of the fog, no one could see what it was. The more unknown it was, the more terrifying it was.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Nangong Lin suddenly raised the golden blade in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, come closer to me!"

When everyone heard this, they all wanted nothing more than to get closer to Nangong Lin.

As if sensing their intentions, the group of people surged forward and screams rang out one after another.

"Damn it!" Nangong Lin panicked. He had only walked a short distance now, and there were still many dangers ahead that needed these people. He could not die too quickly here.

Nangong Lin started to concentrate.

Suddenly, another strong gust of wind blew. A black shadow rushed towards a middle-aged unspecialized not too far away from Nangong Lin.

"Die for this old man!" Even though Nangong Lin was old, he was exceptionally agile. The moment he noticed the black shadow, he leaped, and just as the black shadow was about to fall, he arrived beside the middle-aged unspecialized. He pushed away the middle-aged unspecialized before he could react, and at the same time, fiercely slashed at the black shadow with the golden blade in his hand.

Puff ~

Fresh blood drenched Nangong Lin and the surrounding people. The warm smell of blood made everyone instantly understand that what attacked them was a kind of creature, and more likely a kind of demon beast.

Everyone seemed to have found a backbone, and they were no longer as fearful as they were in the beginning.

"Everyone listen to this old man. Don't be afraid. Stand with your back facing each other. When you see the black shadow, immediately attack and issue a warning."

Nangong Lin's method worked. Everyone gathered with their backs facing each other. The moment they encountered an attack, they would immediately brandish their weapons to stop the black shadow from moving forward. At the same time, they would shout out to warn their companions.

About ten minutes later, the mist dispersed and everyone was able to clearly see their surroundings.

On the surrounding cliffs, rocks, and trees, there were actually snow-white monkeys. Even if they were monkeys, they weren't very suitable, because these creatures had well-developed upper limbs and hideous faces. If they were enlarged, they would look more like Gorilla s.

When the mist first appeared, Gu Yuan took the girl to hide in the middle of the crowd, so they were not attacked. Now that they saw these creatures, they used the system to check them out.

"Name: Monster Ape"

Cultivation base: early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage

"What!"

Gu Yuan's eyes were wide open as he looked at the system's display. He could not believe what he just saw. He never thought that these monster apes had the strength of the early stage of Nascent Soul. And most importantly, the strength of these monster apes was actually at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

What did this mean!? This meant that these monster apes actually knew how to cultivate. This was out of the scope of beasts, Gu Yuan had never come into contact with them before.1

There were too many monster apes, so many that even the golden blade old man, Nangong Lin, lost his will to fight. The other Cultivator, who was present, had a look of despair on their faces.

Nangong Lin's face showed a conflicted expression, but it was quickly replaced by a vicious expression.

"Everyone, listen to me. At a time like this, we must work together and break through in one direction. Only by doing so can there be a chance of survival. This old man will clear a path for you first!"

As he spoke, he actually rushed out first. The others, seeing Nangong Lin taking the lead, knew that this was the only chance. They also rushed out together.

Seeing that the crowd was trying to escape, the monster apes roared and rushed forward. In a split-second, the two sides were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Gu Yuan, who was in the middle of the crowd, pulled the girl behind him and tried to avoid the monster ape by charging in Nangong Lin's direction.

Gu Yuan knew that Nangong Lin was the only one among them who had the ability to resist. Gu Yuan didn't believe that the other party would be so kind. Nangong Lin must have some trump card that could help him escape.

He probably said those words because he hoped that Cultivator would help him distract the monster ape.

As Gu Yuan drew closer to Nangong Lin, gradually, some of the monster apes also attacked Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was helpless and could only take out his Fangtian Halberd to resist.

What made Gu Yuan speechless was that the girl behind him didn't seem to have any strength. Without Gu Yuan's protection, she would probably die within minutes.

As if feeling that she was dragging Gu Yuan down, the girl suddenly let go of Gu Yuan's sleeve. Although there was still a scared expression on her face, she said to Gu Yuan: "Brother Lin, run, don't worry about me."

Gu Yuan's heart seemed to be moved. Seeing the girl's determined eyes, he hesitated for a moment and grabbed the girl's hand. With his other hand, he brandished the Fangtian Halberd to block the attack of the monster ape.

The girl struggled with all her might, but she couldn't break away from Gu Yuan's hand.

"Brother Lin, I know you're doing this for me. I don't want to burden you, so just let me go."

Gu Yuan didn't let go at all. He said with a determined tone, "I won't let you leave here alone. If you do, I'm afraid I'll live with guilt for the rest of my life."

With Gu Yuan's personality, he definitely couldn't do such a thing.

The girl was moved by Gu Yuan's words and did not resist anymore. She grabbed onto Gu Yuan's hand even more forcefully.

Because Nangong Lin was at the front, he attracted the most demon apes. Relying on the golden blade in his hand and his countless supernatural powers, he was able to persevere and make it ahead with difficulty.

The group didn't enter for long, so everyone still had a sliver of hope to escape. However, facing the monster ape, which was at the early Nascent Soul stage, the casualties were still increasing rapidly.

Seeing that the number of people was less than half, Nangong Lin seemed to realize that the pressure would only get heavier and heavier if he waited any longer. It would be hard for him to escape.

He didn't hesitate any longer. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and began to cast the incantation.

"Old demon Nangong, are you going to leave us behind?!"

This was what the old woman said in a frightened voice when she saw Nangong Lin's actions.

While Nangong Lin was channeling his incantation, he sneered, "Now that a great catastrophe is about to befall, escaping is obviously up to your own ability. This old man has no time to worry about you two."
