Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 301: The Determination to Protect
Due to the soul controlling technique controlled by Gao Ran, almost every region in Zhen Yang Mainland experienced the same problem. The spiritual beast that was originally quiet within the forest and far away from the human settlement, was now out attacking blindly.
Nothing could stop the spiritual beasts except by directly killing them. However, not everyone had enough ability to deal with abnormal spiritual beasts. Moreover, there were too many seventh level spiritual beasts that became a real terror for the human group.
Zhang Yu was on his way to the last hill which was the center of gathering spiritual beasts in the southern mountain region. Although he passed through a safe path, but the invasion of abnormal spiritual beasts had already reached the region. Three or even four spiritual beasts came every few dozen meters, there was no other choice Zhang Yu could only kill them all without holding back his footsteps.
"Run! Run!" The cries of some people echoed from the valley region that was on the right side of the travel path.
Before long, it was seen that about seven people ran away trying to escape from the sixth level fire tiger.
"Run! Quick run. We have to go back to the village!" yell at one of them.
But perhaps due to being too panicked, one middle-aged man fell down after stepping on an uneven rock. He fell down and his legs were bleeding.
His six friends of course stopped, then tried to help him.
"Go! You must go, the tiger is approaching." The man did not want his friends to die because of him. He brushed off the hands that were trying to break him and asked them to return to the village immediately.
"No. We're not leaving you. We'll get back together."
At that moment the sixth level fire tiger was already getting closer. His eyes were yellow of anger and looked terrifyingly shiny. The seven men cooked bad faces at the same time.
"Comebody! We won't survive!" muttered the middle-aged man.
They were almost resigned if they had to be the sixth level fire tiger's meal. But just at that moment, a disc-shaped energy wave suddenly appeared and slashed at the body of the sixth level fire tiger.
A slash!
The sixth level fire tiger died. The seven surprised men suddenly turned around compactly looking for a figure who had already helped them.
"Where are you guys from?"
For a moment the seven men were stunned after seeing Zhang Yu. They seemed to not believe the person who saved them still looked so young.
"We-we are from Hao Village. We are looking for herbs to sell to stores in the city center. But out of nowhere, suddenly came the fire tiger who immediately chased after us like prey."
Zhang Yu nodded his head hearing the middle-aged man's words. He took out the external wound medicine and poured it into the middle-aged man's legs. Not to forget also Zhang Yu tied the wound with a cloth.
"Thank you, Mister!" say them.
"It is better after this you just go to the city center, precisely the residence of the Yi Family. If you return to the village, you will most likely come back face to face with an abnormal spiritual beast as now your village is entering a dangerous territory."
The middle-aged man tried to stand up even though his legs were completely numb. "Whatchu mean? What spiritual beast attack also happened in our village?"
"It's not just your village. The entire city, the entire Empire, even this entire landmass was facing the onslaught of spiritual beasts."
"There is almost no safe place in this situation. You guys should go to the Yi family residence," Zhang Yu said.
The faces of the seven men looked confused. They really don't know what's going on. Villages that have been inhabited for decades are always safe from the threat of spiritual animals. How could that possibly happen? What phenomena do they not know about?
"Master, I can't just go to the Yi family's residence. I have to go back to the village because there are my children and my wife. I have to pick them up before I go somewhere safe."
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth without being able to refute the middle-aged man's sentence. He understands very well what he feels. As a husband or father, it is impossible to stay in a safe place while children and wives are in danger.
Zhang Yu raised his hand to pat the middle-aged man on the shoulder. "Go there first. I will go to your village and save your wife, child, or family who are there."
"You go first," Zhang Yu asked once more.
Despite hearing the reassurance from Zhang Yu, the middle-aged man was still unsettled. He wanted to come directly to pick up his wife and son from the village. However, on the other hand he was aware that his strength would not be enough to help. It might even just be a burden.
"Sir, I'm really asking you for help. Please save our children, wives and brothers there." The middle-aged man rubbed the corners of his wet eyes. She was picked up by her friend, then thanked him together.
"Isn't it hard to be you?" Long Shen climbed onto Zhang Yu's shoulder then asked as he looked at the backs of the seven men from Hao village.
"You can choose not to care about them and complete your task faster," Long Shen added.
Zhang Yu was still silent without replying to Long Shen's words. He immediately looked at the cloudy sky and rushed towards the last hill.
"It's not about how troublesome it is, but about the survival of humans in Zhen Yang Land."
Hmh!
Long Shen snorted at Zhang Yu's words. "I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"God ... You don't have to understand about it. To be sure, I will not let Zhen Yang Mainland experience the dark history for the second time."
Zhang Yu continued to dart westward. Together with the sun that was starting to sink, he grasped his sword while carving a smile on his face.
"I will protect this land!"
