I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 490 Escape, Encounter

Under the cliff.

The icy river water felt like thousands of steel needles piercing the wound.

But it was the stimulation of the intense pain that kept Hu Kairan conscious.

The turbulent current carried him downstream.

When the air in his lungs was almost gone, he was finally swept into a calm eddy.

Hu Kairan struggled to climb ashore, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

His bloodied fingers left five scratch marks on the rock face, and his breathing became increasingly weak.

However, Hu Kairan was well aware of this.

We absolutely cannot stay here any longer.

Those guys from Xingchen will definitely not let me off so easily.

At this moment, Hu Kairan could have used the communicator that Yongheng had prepared for them to send a message to Li Minghe and the other person.

But Hu Kairan didn't dare to gamble at all.

Once the two discover that he has three Source Crystals on him.

Those teammates could very well become enemies.

After all, the temptation of three source crystals is simply too great for ordinary people!

Even teammates from the same faction might not be able to remain rational in the face of such a huge temptation.

Moreover, he is currently critically injured and on the verge of death; any level three martial artist could easily take his life.

If his teammates become greedy, he will have no chance to fight back at all.

In times like these, you can only rely on yourself.

Staggering to his feet, Hu Kairan looked around.

The bottom of the cliff was dark and damp, shrouded in mist, and the faint sound of tree branches snapping could be heard in the distance.

He didn't know what caused the commotion.

But at this time.

He needed to find a secluded place to treat his wound as soon as possible.

Then, at night, they would leave the no-man's-land under the cover of darkness.

The trip has yielded results far exceeding his expectations.

Grit your teeth.

Hu Kairan dragged his broken body, moving step by step into the depths of the dense forest.

Live on.
No matter what, I must live!
this moment.

His will to survive had become stronger than ever before.

If he can get out safely, he can become the extraordinary person he has always dreamed of.
ten minutes later.

After descending the cliff, the two from Xingchen explored the riverbank.

"Found it, there's blood here."

Suddenly, the tall, thin man shouted.

"Judging from this, he must have climbed up from here."

"This guy's lucky, he didn't die!"

The sinister-looking man observed his surroundings as he spoke:
"Although we injured him, we didn't hit any vital organs."

"Besides, as a level 5 martial artist of Eternity, he must have taken a lot of Origin Potions. How could he die so easily?"

"He might also be carrying medical supplies."

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man shook his head.

"Most people can't afford to buy treatment drugs."

"And even with healing medicine, his injuries couldn't heal so quickly."

"Unless he is carrying a level 2 treatment."

Level 2 reagent?

The two of them simply didn't believe that an ordinary person would be willing to spend three contribution points to exchange for a bottle of level two healing potion.

Even if it's a level 2 medicine.

It will take about half a day to recover from the injury.

"We must find him as soon as possible, no matter what."

"If we let him escape the no-man's land, we'll have no chance at all!"

The tall, thin man nodded.

It's important to know that there are now people from the Court of Judgment stationed in this town.

Although there are no extraordinary individuals among the members of the Tribunal here.

But no one dared to make a move in front of the Hall of Judgment.

"I wonder how many people Yongheng brought this time. If he has contacted his teammates, it might be quite troublesome."

The sinister-looking man shook his head.

"Don't worry, given his current condition, he probably won't dare to contact his teammates."

"If we contact our teammates, we might die even faster."

The tall, thin man was taken aback upon hearing this.

The reason was quickly figured out.

If it were me...

They also won't contact the other two.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the sinister-looking man beside him.

But at this moment, the two of them tacitly refrained from saying anything more.

"Let's go, he shouldn't have gone far."

……

On the other side of the valley.

The original meeting place of the three eternal beings.

"Where's Old Hu? Didn't we agree to meet here?"

"Why haven't we seen anyone after all this time?"

Li Minghe frowned.

Half an hour has passed since the time the three of them agreed to meet.

Hu Kairan has not yet been seen.

Even when they tried to contact the other party using a communicator, they received no reply.

"Could something have happened?"

"do not know!"

Li Minghe shook his head.

Compared to Hu Kairan's incident...

He prefers to believe that the other party may have obtained an opportunity.

Moreover, it was an opportunity that far exceeded their expectations.

After all, they had all witnessed Hu Kairan's strength.

Although he may not be as skilled as some of the top martial arts instructors at extraordinary universities, the difference is not significant.

With his strength.

If someone is in danger and only wants to escape, even the most skilled level 5 martial artist cannot stop them.

Unless you encounter several level 5 martial artists at the same time.

However, this scenario is unlikely.

Even so, Hu Kairan wouldn't be without time to send them messages.

Therefore, Li Minghe believes that Hu Kairan is most likely deliberately avoiding contact with them.

There is only one possibility for this to happen.

That means the other party has obtained an extremely amazing opportunity.

"But what exactly was this opportunity?"

"Would that make Hu Kairan afraid to contact us?"

"Could it be a cultivation technique inheritance, or a considerable number of source crystals?"

Li Minghe's eyes flickered subtly.

If it's just some basic potions, or just a single source crystal.

The other party has most likely already contacted them!
Thinking of this, he spoke to one of the people beside him:
"In any case, the most important thing now is to find Lao Hu; he might really be in danger!"

"As teammates, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, the man nodded quickly.

They seemed quite worried about Hu Kairan's safety.

Whether that's what they really think or not, nobody knows!
……

"So, what did you find?"

Looking at the group of people returning one after another, Zhou Qiyuan asked.

"No."

Sun Yaoyang pursed his lips.

In half a day, he searched countless places.

But we didn't see a single hair.

This has turned his initial excitement into nothing but frustration and exhaustion.

"This godforsaken place is just an empty shell!"

Sun Yaoyang plopped down on the rock and grabbed the water bottle, taking several large gulps.

"We haven't even seen the Origin Elixir, let alone the Origin Crystal!"

Shen Jun and the others gave the same answer.

Zhou Qiyuan looked at Lin Yue, who had returned last.

"I didn't find an opportunity either."

She paused for a moment before continuing:

"However, I did see two people whose clothing resembled that of Starry Sky, one of the three extraordinary forces you mentioned earlier, Professor Zhou."

Hear these words.

Zhou Qiyuan didn't seem to care.

This no-man's-land is neither small nor large.

It's normal to meet other people.

"Alright, it's getting dark, let's go and rest for a bit."

"When I came back just now, I found a river nearby."

"Let's stay there tonight!"

"Let's go check out other places tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded, and no one had any objections.

After all, they are not superhumans. Moving around at night in a place like this is quite dangerous.

Moreover, it's pitch black at night, so it's not easy to find anything even if you want to.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm going to catch some fish in the river to improve my life."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and ran straight ahead.

Zhou Qiyuan smiled and did not stop him.

The group was on edge all day.

It's time to let them relax a little.

But it didn't take long.

A sudden exclamation came from ahead.

Hear this sound.

Everyone looked at each other.

Could it be that Sun Yaoyang has found an opportunity?

Or did something unexpected happen?
Thinking it over, everyone sped up and headed towards the destination.

Half a minute later.

Zhou Qiyuan was the first to arrive at the scene.

However, when he saw Sun Yaoyang standing there unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened?"

"Teacher Zhou."

I saw someone behind me.

Sun Yaoyang quickly turned to the side and said:

"There's blood here."

Using the last glimmer of light.

Zhou Qiyuan also got a clear view of the surrounding area.

There was blood not only where Sun Yaoyang was standing, but also in several other places.

The bloodstains had darkened, indicating they had been there for some time.

They stretched along the riverbank and eventually disappeared into the dense forest.

Zhou Qiyuan squatted down and carefully examined the surrounding environment.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it was clear that someone had climbed out of the river.

This person did not linger at all after coming up.

They left immediately.

This suggests that the person was being chased at the time.

Thinking of this, his expression became serious.

"Be careful, everyone."

"There might be other people around here."

Hear the words.

The expressions of everyone became tense again.

After all, even though they were martial artists, they had never seen anything like this before.

Now, when I encounter someone being chased, I feel a bit nervous.

Only Lin Yue remained relatively calm.

Her eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something.

"Teacher Zhou, I saw the two people from Xingchen earlier, and they seemed to be in a hurry."

"Could what happened here be related to them?"

Hear these words.

Zhou Qiyuan frowned slightly.

What Lin Yue said is not impossible.

If that's the case, then the person being chased by them has most likely obtained an opportunity.

And this opportunity might be quite significant.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not act rashly.

After all, the people who have come here recently are generally quite strong.

Nobody wants to make enemies with others.

"No matter what, let's get out of here first."

Gathering his thoughts, Zhou Qiyuan addressed the group.

Despite his great strength.

But I don't want to get involved in other people's conflicts.

The main reason is that these students are only level four martial artists.

If a large-scale battle were to occur, he wasn't entirely confident he could protect a few people.

Of course, unless one encounters an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Under normal circumstances, no one would kill them.

Jiangcheng Chaofan University is not a place that anyone can afford to offend.

"Teacher Zhou, there might be an opportunity here."

"Shouldn't we go look for it?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but speak up from the crowd.

It's obvious that someone in this area has discovered an opportunity.

If she can find it, her chances of passing the Origin Academy's assessment will be much higher.

Therefore, Lin Yue did not want to give up just like that.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiyuan shook his head.

"No need."

"Even if there were an opportunity here, it would most likely have already been obtained by someone else!"

"Unless you want to steal opportunities from others."

Talk about this.

Zhou Qiyuan looked at everyone.

"If any of you have this idea, I won't stop you."

"But from this day forward... you will no longer be students of Jiangcheng Extraordinary University!"

Hear these words.

Those who initially shared Lin Yue's thoughts immediately calmed down.

If they lose their status as Jiangcheng Extraordinary University.

Then they can only get into Origin Academy this year.

If you can't get in, you'll lose the chance to enter the Extraordinary Academy in the future.

not to mention.

With their talent.

Sooner or later, they will become extraordinary.

There's absolutely no need to take the risk for a mere amount of Origin Elixir and Origin Crystal.

Unless it's truly an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Otherwise, no one would be willing to leave Jiangcheng Extraordinary University.

Also.

Without Zhou Qiyuan, they would have been able to seize opportunities from others based on their own strength.

That's nothing short of a fool's dream!
“Teacher Zhou, you’re overthinking it. I didn’t mean to steal other people’s opportunities.”

Lin Yue shook her head, then continued:
"I just feel that these two groups may not have gotten their chance yet!"

"In that case, we might still have a chance."

"Yes, Teacher Zhou, shall we go and take a look?"

"If someone else has already gotten the opportunity, then we can just leave!"

Hearing Lin Yue say this, two people were clearly tempted!
"That sounds wonderful."

"Do you think you can just leave whenever you want?"

Seeing the eager expressions on the students' faces, Zhou Qiyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If he were the only one to come in this time...

Zhou Qiyuan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

With his strength, if he really wanted to run away, few people could stop him.

But for now, there are still these students.

In comparison, the safety of the individuals involved is undoubtedly more important.

After all, Shen Jun, Lin Yue, and Long Youzhu are all promising talents with a great chance of entering the Origin Academy.

"Let's go, don't think about it too much!"

"We walked in the opposite direction of the bloodstains."

As he spoke, Zhou Qiyuan didn't care what the others thought.

They headed straight in another direction.

The students looked at each other, but eventually followed.

Lin Yue glanced back at the riverbank with resentment.

Sudden.

The rustling sound coming from the bushes caught her attention.

"Wait, Teacher Zhou, there seems to be something over there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

All that could be seen was the rustling of bushes.

A staggering figure struggled to crawl out.

"It's human!"

Sun Yaoyang exclaimed in surprise.

With the help of the setting sun's afterglow, everyone could see the scene in the distance more clearly.

The man was covered in blood, with a gruesome wound on his right shoulder that was deep enough to expose the bone, and blood had soaked through most of his clothes.

He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a tall and sturdy build and a resolute look between his brows.

Even though he was injured, his eyes were still as sharp as knives.

He gripped a blood-stained longsword tightly in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly.

However, there were several cracks on the blade, indicating that it had been through a fierce battle.

"help me……"

He managed to squeeze out a few words.

He swayed and fell heavily to the ground, his long sword clattering to the side.
