Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 170 The monster is coming!

call out!
The arrow in Lin Chen's hand turned into a stream of light and shot towards the huge shadow behind Jiang Qing the moment Jiang Qing bent down.

Behind Jiang Qing, a fish monster emerged silently from the lake. It was more than ten feet tall and opened its bloody mouth, trying to swallow Jiang Qing in one gulp.

boom!
The arrow was like a stream of light, shooting into the fish monster's mouth and directly piercing its head.

Bang bang bang!
Lin Chen followed with several arrows, this time aiming at the fish monster's eyes.

The fish monster's eyes were pierced by arrows and blood was flowing out. It let out an angry roar and wanted to pounce towards the shore with its huge body, but Lin Chen did not give it any chance.

A few more arrows were shot.

At the same time, Jiang Qing rolled to Lin Chen's side and looked back for the first time.

When Jiang Qing saw the fish monster falling back into the lake, her eyes narrowed: "Junior Brother Lin, let's go!"

Although this fish monster was repelled by Junior Brother Lin, the appearance of a monster in the special training ground was an unusual occurrence.

Jiang Qing could think of this, and Lin Chen could naturally think of it as well. One of the main reasons why the Military Affairs Department kept the special training site so secret was that they were afraid of sneak attacks from the demon tribe.

The students who are able to enter the special training area are all extremely promising students. If they are given ten years to grow, they will become the backbone of Jiangnan Dao.

As for the demon clan who hate Daliang, they naturally don't want to see the potential warriors of Daliang grow up, and it would be best if they could strangle them in the cradle.

How did the demon race know the location of the special training ground, and how did they sneak close to the island without being discovered?
Lin Chen and Jiang Qing looked at each other and saw a solemnity in each other's eyes. This could not be an accident. A fish monster accidentally swam here.

I’m afraid there’s a backup plan!

Putting himself in their shoes, Lin Chen thought that if he were a demon and knew the location of the special training ground, if he wanted to launch a surprise attack, he would definitely not arrange a fish demon. He would either not move, or if he moved, he would have to have the strength to completely destroy the opponent.

The two figures ran quickly forward, and just when they disappeared in the dense forest, figures emerged from the water on the rocks behind them and rushed towards the shore frantically.

"Sir, a monster is attacking!"

After entering the woods, Lin Chen shouted loudly, and just as he finished shouting, he saw a sudden burst of fireworks in the sky above the island. Even in the daytime, the fireworks were still bright and eye-catching enough.

"The instructor also discovered the existence of the demon race."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Qing beside him that the fireworks must have been launched by a certain instructor to send a signal to the outside world.

"Lin Chen, Jiang Qing, are you two injured?"

After passing through the dense forest, Lin Chen saw a middle-aged man, but he had never seen him before. Jiang Qing immediately said, "Master Zhang, we were attacked by a fish monster on the shore behind the dense forest. Fortunately, Junior Brother Lin reacted quickly and repelled the fish monster."

"There are also fish monsters in the back mountain. It seems that the monsters are well prepared this time."

Hearing what Instructor Zhang said, Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. So the fish monster didn't just appear on the back mountain of the island?

"Lord Xu asked me to look for you two. Follow me first."

Zhang Jiang did not explain the situation in too much detail. This was the first time in all the years since the special training ground was established that it had encountered a sneak attack by the demon tribe, and it was such a large-scale attack.

Soon, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing saw Xu Li and other instructors, as well as other students.

There was panic on the faces of the students. Xu Li was visibly relieved when he saw Lin Chen and Jiang Qing return safely.

Among these students, to be realistic, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing are the ones who are least likely to get into trouble.

"There are demons coming to attack. This officer and the other instructors will repel the fish demons. You guys go to the iron warehouse first."

In the special training area, the safest place is the iron warehouse.

After Xu Li finished speaking, he glanced at the many instructors present, and then said, "Instructor Min, you take them over."

"Yes."

Min Huanbo nodded: "All of you follow me."

It was not until Lin Chen and other students followed Min Huanbo away that Xu Li's expression suddenly turned cold: "My fellow students, join me in fighting these monsters! Remember our responsibilities!"

Chen Ping and others responded with serious expressions.

As an instructor, my duty is not only to teach students, but also to protect them.

"Master Xu, don't worry. These monsters want to harm the students only if they step over my dead body."

"There is no need to fight these monsters. I have already sent out a signal. When the Poyang Guards see the fireworks, they will send reinforcements. We just need to hold back the monsters."

Fighting the monster to death is the last resort!
……

……

Inside the iron gate.

The panic on the students' faces was visible to the naked eye. Lin Chen glanced at these students and sighed in his heart. They were all children of dignitaries and had never experienced life-and-death battles. It was inevitable that they would feel panic and fear when suddenly facing monsters.

"With Lord Xu here, the monsters can't jump around, so you can relax."

Min Huanbo also saw the fear in the student's heart and spoke a word of comfort. When his eyes swept over Lin Chen, he saw that there was no panic on Lin Chen's face, and he was even more satisfied with Lin Chen.

"Instructor Min, are there many monsters attacking this time?"

Jiang Qing suddenly spoke up. Min Huanbo hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to hide it. "Not only are there fish monsters on the shore of the back mountain where you and Lin Chen are, there are also many fish monsters on the other three sides of the island. However, these fish monsters are not powerful, not even the first-class ones, and they can't cause any trouble. Letting you stay here is also for the reason that Lord Xu is cautious."

After hearing what Min Huanbo said, the panic of the other students dissipated a little.

That’s right, all the instructors are eighth-rank warriors, and with the help of the master of the academy, these fish monsters can’t cause any trouble.

Lin Chen looked at the people who breathed a sigh of relief, but he had a completely different opinion in his mind. If these fish monsters were really not powerful enough, based on his understanding of Instructor Min and the others, he would not let them hide here, but would directly order them to fight the fish monsters and use them for actual combat training.

The fish monsters would appear here in groups, so how could there not be some high-grade ones? I’m afraid that the ones who just came ashore are the vanguard, and the strong ones of the monster clan are still behind.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour...

As time went on, there was still no sign of Lord Xu and others, and the students inside the iron gate became uneasy again.

The smile that he had shown to comfort the students was no longer on Min Huanbo's face, and his entire attention was focused on the area outside the iron gate.

drop!
Suddenly, fireworks appeared over the island again, but this time they were red fireworks.

The light of the red fireworks reflected on everyone's faces, and a shadow appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.

Whether in the past life or this world, as long as they are human, they have many things in common. Red... not only represents heat, but also represents urgency and the seriousness of the situation in many cases. "Red fireworks?"

Min Huanbo's pupils contracted. As an instructor, he naturally knew what the red fireworks represented. It represented the most emergency situation.

In other words, Lord Xu and his men did not have the upper hand in the battle with the demon clan, and the situation was extremely critical.

Looking back at the students behind him, Min Huanbo felt conflicted. Lord Xu and Senior Brother Chen were at a disadvantage, and he should go out to support them. But if he left, what would happen to these students?
"Instructor Min, Lord Xu asked us to come here. Is there any mechanism in here that can help us resist the monsters?"

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, looking at Min Huanbo with sharp eyes.

Min Huanbo was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Chen to ask this question. He hesitated for a moment and said, "There is indeed a mechanism above the iron door."

After he finished speaking, Min Huanbo walked to a certain part of the iron gate, reached out and pressed a groove, and two steps rose from the ground and went up along the iron gate.

"This iron gate was built by the Military Affairs Office with great effort. It is extremely difficult to break through, and it is a hundred feet high. Even a low-level monster beast would find it difficult to fly to such a height."

Min Huanbo climbed up the stairs, and Lin Chen followed closely behind him. Standing at a height of a hundred feet, Lin Chen immediately scanned the entire island and soon spotted Lord Xu.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took a deep breath. In his sight, he saw hundreds of figures separating Lord Xu and others and surrounding them.

Unfortunately, with his vision, he could only see vaguely at a very long distance, and Min Huanbo's expression beside him became extremely ugly: "There are more than a dozen entry-level monsters, and one of them is already at the level of a monster general."

A demon beast of the demon general level corresponds to a seventh-grade warrior of the human race.

"Instructor Min, I'm afraid Lord Xu and his men can't hold on." Lin Chen didn't know what the demon general was, but he knew one thing, that being surrounded meant that the overall strength of the demon clan this time was no weaker than Lord Xu and his men.

"Don't worry, the Poyang Guards saw the fireworks and calculated that the time is almost up. Lord Xu and the others just need to hold on for a while longer."

Min Huanbo turned around and looked at Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, I leave this to you. I have to go and help Lord Xu and the others out of this siege."

Although Lord Xu's order was to let him stay inside the iron gate to protect the students, he couldn't stay inside the iron warehouse now that he saw Lord Xu and his fellow brothers were trapped.

Lin Chen opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade Instructor Min.

If you go out, there is a high probability that you will be killed by monsters.

But in the end, I couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, the iron gate is safe enough. Even without me, the monsters can't get in. The Poyang Guards will arrive in an hour at most."

When Instructor Min saw Lin Chen's hesitation, he thought that Lin Chen was worried that monsters would attack after he left, so he smiled and comforted him.

"Teacher, please be careful."

Lin Chen did not explain what he was thinking, but just spoke softly.

"Don't worry, I have killed monsters before. These little fish monsters can't do anything to me."

Min Huanbo smiled casually, patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, and walked down the stairs.

"This instructor is going to go out and help Master Xu. You all must follow Lin Chen's arrangements. Anyone who disobeys will be considered a traitor."

As soon as the word "treason" was uttered, the faces of all the students present changed. However, Min Huanbo didn't care what these students thought. With Lin Chen's strength, even if some students were disobedient, he could easily suppress them.

After opening the small iron door, Min Huanbo nodded at Lin Chen, and then stepped out without hesitation.

"Lin Chen, is the situation critical?"

Jiang Qing looked at the closed iron gate and asked Lin Chen.

"Ah."

Lin Chen responded and glanced at everyone at the scene: "My fellow apprentice brothers, I will not hide it from you. Lord Xu and his men are now surrounded by monsters. The situation is very dangerous. However, there is an iron gate blocking the way, so the monsters cannot break in. We just need to stay here and wait for the Military Affairs Office to send people to support us."

"If you hadn't injured us, we could have helped the instructors to kill the monster."

A young man with a swollen face spoke softly. Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and the next moment his figure appeared in front of the young man like a stream of light, and he kicked him without hesitation.

puff!
Everyone saw that the young man flew backwards, spitting blood in the air. He flew for several feet before falling to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Teacher Min has already said that if anyone does not listen to me, it will be regarded as treason, and I will not have to pay for your life even if I kill you."

Lin Chen's eyes were cold as he swept his gaze over these students one by one. He knew that these students must have complaints in their hearts because they were injured by him.

"Do you really think that you can help Lord Xu and the others just because you are not injured? If you have such an idea, go up the stone steps and see what is happening outside!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, several young men were unconvinced and stepped onto the stairs. However, when they stood at the top of the stairs and saw the battle situation on the island, they came down one by one and fell silent.

An overwhelming tide of monsters!

As soon as they go out, they will be swallowed up by the tide of monsters in a moment.

"If you go out, you will only hinder Master Xu and the others. If you want to die, then go out. I won't stop you."

After saying this, Lin Chen walked up the stone steps again, but this time Jiang Qing followed him.

The two stood at the top of the stairs. Lin Chen's eyes suddenly focused. He saw a group of monsters abandoning Lord Xu and the others and rushing towards them.

But at the moment when this group of monsters were coming towards this side, Lin Chen saw a dazzling sword light, which streaked across the sky like a meteor and killed hundreds of fish monsters with one blow.

The knife light came from a besieged figure.

Lin Chen couldn't see the face clearly and didn't know which adult it was, but after a few breaths, he saw the figure was engulfed by the tide of monsters.

"This is the will of martial arts condensed into a physical sword. It is incredibly powerful, but for a warrior below the middle level, it would almost exhaust all the energy and blood in the body to achieve this."

Jiang Qing's voice came from the side. Lin Chen did not turn his head, but blinked. He understood what Senior Sister Jiang meant. In order to stop the monster from coming towards them, this adult chose the most extreme way of fighting and died together with the monster.

"Senior Sister, we must also prepare for battle."

After a few breaths, seeing another group of monsters coming towards this side, Lin Chen whispered and pulled the bow with his right hand. The Dragon Shadow Bow was pulled to the extreme in his hand, and the bowstring even made a clear sound of a dragon's roar.

If this iron gate can really completely resist the monsters, Lord Xu and his men would not have to be surrounded by monsters outside, and could retreat behind the iron gate.

Instructor Min, following the orders of Lord Xu, has the primary mission of protecting these students.

If the iron gate could keep out the monsters, Instructor Min would never leave to rescue Lord Xu and the others.

How could a warrior of the first rank not have such self-control!
There is only one reason that can explain this: the iron gate can only keep out monsters for a while!
