Chapter 180 [It's not working anymore?!]

Chapter 175 [It's not working anymore?!]

Chen Yan took off running, but after running only twenty meters, he heard a howling wind behind him. He didn't dare to hesitate and lunged forward, landing on the ground. An iron hook almost grazed his back as it shot past him.

Then, with a loud bang, the strange forest in front was swept away, creating a clearing more than ten meters wide!
Chen Yan rolled on the ground with all his might, turned over, and before he could get up, he used both hands to push his legs back with all his might, and an iron hook was already almost grazing his legs as it slammed down.

The ground was covered in mud!
The monster with the iron hook was already standing not far from Chen Yan, its eyes filled with coldness as it looked at Chen Yan, and it raised the iron hook in its hand and smashed it down on his head!

Chen Yan took a deep breath, reached into his shirt pocket, and yanked it open.

hum!
A burst of golden light erupted, instantly forming a golden arc that enveloped Chen Yan. The falling iron hook struck the golden arc, causing the faint golden light to tremble slightly!
Golden Light Curse!
The defensive spell taught to me by the little girl, the great demon lark!
A spirit-sealing technique, a golden light spell sealed within a talisman!

The iron hook slammed down on the golden light, and golden rays scattered everywhere.

After the monster slammed down seven or eight times in one go, the intensity of the golden light began to weaken.

Chen Yan had already rolled over and jumped up, and with his left hand he made another talisman and tore it open.

As another "Ten Thousand Swords Talisman" was torn open, countless dense sharp rays rained down, and sword lights crisscrossed and cut into the iron hook monster's body. Dense ripples appeared on its red glowing body...

The iron hook monster was cut by countless sword energies, and its huge body swayed and staggered backward.

Seeing that even the Myriad Swords Talisman couldn't break through the opponent's protective red light, Chen Yan hardened his heart, reached into his robes, and pulled out a handful of talismans!

There were six or seven talismans in this bundle, and they were all "Ten Thousand Swords Talismans"!
With a ferocious grin, Chen Yan ripped something apart, and countless sword lights shot into the sky...

·
hum! !

The three-meter-tall iron hook monster was sent flying backward by countless sword lights. While it was in mid-air, countless sword lights fell down, frantically slashing at its protective red aura.

Finally, the red light on the Iron Hook Monster's left shoulder was sliced ​​off, revealing a gap. Several sword energies slashed down, instantly turning the Iron Hook Monster's left shoulder into a bloody mess, almost slicing off half of his shoulder.

The Iron Hook Monster rolled on the ground, its iron hook falling from its hand. It roared in pain, but then jumped up again and sprinted towards Chen Yan.

He was tall and had long legs, and his speed and strength were astonishing. He arrived in front of Chen Yan in an instant and punched Chen Yan in the chest. Chen Yan was immediately sent flying backward with golden light, his body like a cannonball.

With a loud bang, Chen Yan's body flew more than ten meters away, smashing a strange tree to pieces. His momentum continued unabated, breaking four or five more strange trees in succession. Finally, the "Golden Light Spell" on Chen Yan's body could no longer bear the burden and turned into a patch of golden light, slowly dissipating.

Chen Yan collapsed to the ground, his body shuddering violently before he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

·
Just as Chen Yan was fighting fiercely with the iron hook monster, the "corpse" of the golden-armored creature, whose head had been cut off, actually writhed on the ground twice, and then slowly "split" off a body. After rolling silently seven or eight meters on the ground, it shook its body and got up.

With a fierce expression, Jin Jia reached out and grabbed the broken sword that had fallen to the ground. It flew from a distance and was caught in his hand.

The man in golden armor had a solemn expression as he watched Chen Yan's golden light dissipate in the distance...

He exhaled, then suddenly reached out with his left hand, bit his fingertip hard, and wiped a smear of blood onto the broken sword.

After the blood was wiped away, the golden-armored man's face paled considerably. He swayed slightly, but his eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the back of the iron hook monster. With a light touch of the ground, he leaped forward...

·
"Cough cough cough..." Chen Yan coughed violently, feeling a burning pain in his chest, as if his throat was about to break, and he was even having trouble breathing.

As the iron hook monster approached him step by step, his body went weak. He reached into his robes again and his fingers trembled as he pulled out two talismans.

The iron hook monster seemed to be badly injured as well. Blood was flowing freely from his left shoulder. Over the course of more than ten steps, the monster walked slower and slower, and his body became somewhat unsteady. However, the eyes that were fixed on Chen Yan remained sinister.

Chen Yan chuckled dryly twice, struggled to get up from the ground, then pulled out a pistol from his waist, rubbed it against his thigh with one hand, raised it, and pulled the trigger at the iron hook.

boom! boom! boom! boom……

Chen Yan fired many shots in one go, but the iron hook monster only raised one hand to shield its eyes, letting the bullets hit its body. Only the red light protecting its body could be seen to ripple slightly in circles.

Chen Yan emptied his magazine in one go, and the iron hook monster was almost upon him.

He gritted his teeth, a hint of murderous intent and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He actually pulled out a hand grenade and stared at the approaching iron hook monster with a ferocious expression.

Just at this time……

flutter!!

A severed sword tip bulged out from the lower abdomen of the iron hook monster!

Blood flowed freely, and standing behind the monster was none other than someone in golden armor!

Jin Jia frowned, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and with both hands gripping the hilt of the broken sword, he twisted it forcefully!
Iron Hook suddenly swayed in place, then raised its head high towards the sky, making a "uh uh..." sound from its throat.

Finally, with a loud thud, the big guy knelt down on both knees.

Jin Jia's face was as white as if it had been smeared with lime, but he gritted his teeth, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and spun it forcefully!
Then, with a thud, he pulled it out forcefully!
Blood splattered on the golden-armored body and then sprayed out from the wound.

Jin Jia was covered in blood, but he took two steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud, panting heavily.

The broken sword in his hand faintly emitted a golden light, but it gradually dissipated.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Between the two was a motionless iron hook monster kneeling on the ground. After exchanging glances, Chen Yan's arm went weak, but he still struggled to put the grenade back in.

Then, pointing at the golden armor, he panted and laughed, "I thought you were dead, but I saw him chop your head off."

"We've lost a scapegoat." The golden-armored man shook his head. "When you're out in the world, everyone has a few trump cards to save their life."

Chen Yan silently gave Jin Jia a thumbs up.

Jin Jia laughed heartily and gave Chen Yan a thumbs up. Then, he suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground, the broken sword in his hand slipping from his grasp.

Chen Yan: "...Hey! Fellow Daoist in Golden Armor!"

His expression changed, and he called out twice more before finally hearing the faint breath of the golden-armored man: "Don't sit there and shout! Come and save me! Can't you see I'm about to die?"

Chen Yan sighed, but didn't move at all: "Don't worry, I have confidence in you. You're not going to die anytime soon. Let me rest for another half an hour."

·
Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't actually rest for half an hour—if he had, the golden armor probably would have really fallen off.

After catching his breath, Chen Yan crawled on his hands and feet to Jin Jia's side, then took out a White Bone Pill, stuffed it into Jin Jia's mouth, and pinched his throat.

With a gulp, the ammunition was swallowed.

After doing all this, Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he ate one for himself and felt a dull pain throughout his body, and his energy was completely depleted.

He could see double images in the strange forest around him.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, lying right next to the man in golden armor. Then, the double images in his vision gradually disappeared, turning into complete darkness.

·
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yan slowly woke up and suddenly felt a hand touching his head.

Chen Yan immediately grabbed the other person's wrist! His fingers tightened, like iron clamps.

The man in golden armor, his wrist gripped, couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly before slowly saying, "Fellow Daoist, you're awake?"

After Chen Yan woke up, he felt much more comfortable in his chest and abdomen. The severe chest pain and shortness of breath that he had experienced when he was vomiting blood were greatly relieved.

Chen Yan knew that the severe vomiting of blood was likely due to the rupture of his lungs and alveoli.

Fortunately, I took a White Bone Pill before I lost consciousness.

Upon waking up, I felt that my chest area had relaxed by more than 50%.

He actually sat up from the ground by himself and looked at the golden armor.

Jin Jia waved his hand: "Don't look at me like that, I only woke up a little earlier than you."

Looking up at the polar day, with the pale golden sun and a black dot hovering in the sky, Chen Yan was suddenly startled.

However, she turned her gaze back to her left and looked a short distance away...

The enormous corpse of the iron hook monster, as large as a small mountain, knelt to one side.

The fatal wound was clearly from the sword in the golden armor that pierced his back, going straight through to his lower abdomen.

And sitting to Chen Yan's right was Jin Jia.

Seeing the wariness and defensiveness in Chen Yan's eyes as he looked at him, the golden-armored man smiled wryly and said, "It's not good to judge people like that, fellow Daoist! Look, I woke up before you, and I didn't even try to harm you!"
Moreover, I didn't even have time to collect the spoils from this corpse before I bound you tightly and checked your injuries..."

Chen Yan sneered: "I can't possibly thank you, can I? If it weren't for you, this iron hook monster wouldn't have been brought here."

After a pause, Chen Nianyan gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say that your strength was only slightly inferior to his?"

How come when I watched him beat you just now, it was as easy as a giant beating a child?
Jin Jia chuckled, his tone earnest: "Is there any possibility...?"

"what?"

"I lied, didn't I?" After saying that, the two glared at each other and then staggered to their feet.

Chen Yan glanced at Jin Jia, and the two of them helped each other as they slowly made their way back to where they had been resting.

Chen Yan tried twice before finally climbing a strange tree, took down the supplies he had stored in his backpack, and then shared some food with Jin Jia.

Chen Yan was munching on an energy bar and a piece of beef jerky.

Meanwhile, Jin Jia looked helpless as he gnawed on a sausage.

After taking a couple of bites, Jin Jia was still not satisfied and threw the sausage on the ground, saying, "There's no meat in this."

Yes, that's not wrong.

Chen Yan, however, said with a stern face: "Eat if you can, get out if you can't."

The golden-armored man said with a sigh, "Fellow Daoist, why do you say that? Just now, we fought side by side and cooperated sincerely to defeat a powerful enemy."

Although he had taken a White Bone Pill, Chen Yan still felt pain in his body. He suddenly remembered the few kilograms of Divine Tree Juice he had hidden in his backpack.

This stuff has amazing effects; it can not only increase physical strength and enhance the body, but also restore energy and recover from injuries.

Thinking about it, he seemed to be about to open his backpack—if not, he could at least drop a couple of drops to taste it.
Seeing this, Jin Jia seemed to have guessed Chen Yan's thoughts and sneered, "If I were you, I wouldn't dare drink the sap of the divine tree here."

Chen Yan, holding his hiking backpack, thought for a moment and then asked Jin Jia, "How should I take that divine tree sap?"

Jin Jia stared at Chen Yan for a moment, then sighed, "Fine, fine, considering we fought together, I'll tell you."

As he spoke, Jin Jia whispered, "Soak it in alcohol and drink it."

Chen Yan: "...Huh?"

"It's just for making medicinal liquor." Jin Jia spoke with an air of self-righteousness, as if he wasn't the one who had tricked Chen Yan earlier. "Prepare two large jars. Then prepare high-proof liquor. Add a drop of liquor to a bowl of strong liquor."

If you're looking for a better flavor, you can soak some rare medicinal herbs in the wine—oh, and even a demon's inner core can enhance its effects.

"One drop at a time?" Chen Yan nodded and carefully noted it down.

A thought struck him, and he remembered that in the mountain's interior, the golden-armored figure had hidden and lurked inside. At that time, there was clearly a large jar containing the divine tree's sap in front of him, but he hadn't bothered to even glance at it, and had simply gone up and cut off the tendrils and roots that the divine tree had extended...

Clearly, that tentacle-shaped root also seems a bit strange—could this thing be worth far more than several kilograms of the divine tree sap?

"So what are you going to do with that thing you cut off?" Chen Yan asked.

Jin Jia curled his lip: "You don't even know, yet you stole the same thing as me? Brother, you're not following the rules."

Chen Yan wasn't angry; he asked with a smile.

"Same thing, soak it in alcohol and drink it." Jin Jia shook his head with an unfriendly expression and said, "But this time I owe you a big favor, so tell me how I'm going to repay you."

"Then give me the piece you cut off? Hmm? No? How about half? A third? A quarter?"

The golden-armored man grinned maliciously, "Except for this one! I risked my life for this thing. My main mission in this trip to the Evil Earth Mountains was to..."

Chen Yan nodded.

"However, fellow Daoist, when I was fighting inside the mountain, I saw you cut out a section of it, and even brought out a small piece of tree core with it?"

Chen Yan's eyes lit up!
Tree core!

"Is this thing... very valuable?"

Jin Jia scrutinized Chen Yan for a while before smiling and saying, "Not exactly."

He paused for a moment before saying, "However, this thing does have some value. It's hard and absorbs a lot of vital energy, which then nourishes it. It's a good thing to make magical artifacts."

As Jin Jia spoke, he said with dissatisfaction, "This thing... Hey? Fellow Daoist Wang Chu, what's wrong with your expression?"

Before Jin Jia could finish speaking, Chen Yan seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked down and his face turned pale. His eyes were filled with shock, horror, and even a trace of fear!
·
It was simply because when Chen Yan woke up from his unconscious state due to his injuries, he hadn't had time to remember or see...

At this moment, Chen Yan lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his wrist...

On his wrist, there was a number that had been used to count down the seven days of teleportation...

It had clearly changed to: 0:00:00
Chen Yan was horrified!

The seven-day teleportation period is over?!

When did this happen! ?
Did it happen while I was injured and unconscious?!

……

But the seven-day teleportation period has ended, and the teleportation hasn't started?!
Chen Yan was greatly shocked!

Can't teleport? Does that mean I can't get home?!

Instantly, a chill ran through him!

·
Downstairs in the girls dormitory.

Around 7 p.m.

Lu Sisi returned from the library, carrying two books in her arms, her movements light and graceful.

She rarely walks alone, without any female classmates or roommates around.

I had just reached the dormitory building when I suddenly saw a boy walking quickly towards me.

Lu Sisi took a closer look and immediately showed a hint of impatience on her face—it was the one who was "pretending to be affectionate".

The boy walked quickly to Lu Sisi, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, with a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face, and took out a cup of milk tea from the bag and handed it to her.

Lu Sisi pursed her lips tightly, her face stern, and took a step back.

"Sisi..."

“Using overly intimate terms of address when there is no proper relationship is extremely impolite and ill-mannered.”

Lu Sisi's tone was extremely cold, her eyes fixed on the cup of milk tea in the other person's hand.

"Well, I was thinking you might be tired from studying in the library, and maybe thirsty, so I..."

Lu Sisi shook her head: "Don't waste my time here, senior brother."

"It's just a cup of milk tea, it's not like it's bothering you with anything else. Besides, just think of it as showing concern for your classmate."

Lu Sisi's impatience grew more and more obvious as she looked around—at this time of day, there were quite a few young couples saying their reluctant goodbyes in the vicinity of the girls' dormitory.

"These are all classmates, senior, shouldn't you also take care of them?"

Seeing that Lu Sisi's words were colder than anyone else's, and her attitude was completely unlike the soft-spoken, gentle, and mild-mannered manner she usually displayed, the boy felt somewhat embarrassed.

"...Oh, please just accept it!"

The boy seemed a bit anxious. He shoved the milk tea into Lu Sisi's hand and turned to run away.

Lu Sisi simply blocked the object handed to her with her other hand, and with her other hand, she almost instinctively pushed the other person's arm to the side.

But the next second, Lu Sisi was dumbfounded.

With a simple tug from Lu Sisi, the boy fell to the ground, sprawling and howling in pain.

"My arm is broken!!"

Lu Sisi stood next to the boy, squatted down and looked at him carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Senior brother, your arm is not broken, it should just be dislocated."

With that, Lu Sisi patted the boy on the shoulder, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"How did I become so strong...?"

·
The teleportation function isn't working?!
Chen Yan felt a tightness in his chest and forced himself to calm down.

Chen Yan took out the thumb ring again and slowly examined it in his hand.

This chapter is from the 11th; the update for the 12th will be postponed until daytime.

I slept in too long today and woke up late. I'm exhausted from these past few days of business trips.
Sorry~
