Chapter 71: Chapter 71 The Peak Of Yuan Tian Stage One
Every twelve hours Chu Yunsheng would return to the building, and every time he would be exhausted. He needed to restore his physical strength as much as possible, while the professors were making the new map.
Once he stopped fighting, his mind would be filled with symbols and incantations from the ancient book. Time passed quickly, and he was getting more and more concerned about the flaming monster.
He did not know why, he had a strange feeling that he needed to understand something first before breakthrough Yuan Tian stage one. However, only when he reached Yuan Tian stage two, would he have enough power to distract the flaming monster, so he ignored that feeling.
Because he was exhausted, so every time he entered the building he didn’t wear his armor. As usual, he ignored the noisy argument that was happening in the lobby area. Although Commander Du gave him a look signalling him that it was time to show them some of his abilities, he still refused.
It was not that Chu Yunsheng was trying to make a show. It was because every time when he came back he was already exhausted, he needed to recover his strength as soon as possible, also he still hasn’t reached Yuan Tian stage two yet, so if he showed his ability now, he would definitely receive even more questions.
He found himself a chair and sat on it trying to recover. His mind and body were tortured by his excessive activities. Yao Xiang was on guard not far from him, while trying to practice various types of cultivation methods. Since last time people questioned Chu Yunsheng’s ability, there were many people who wanted to challenge him, so he felt anxious when he was resting alone. Especially during this period when his mind and body were relatively weak. That was why he went to Commander Du to ask for Yao Xiang to protect him.
Since the beginning of the dark age, amongst the people Chu Yunsheng had met, apart from Yu Xiaohai, who he trusted the most, it only left Yao Xiang, who he could rely on.
The troops had collected more and more red-shelled insects and red-eyed monsters, so the amount of the bodies he stored inside storage talismans was also increasing rapidly. With those bodies, he planned to upgrade his equipment when he reached Yuan Tian stage two. He guessed that the armor and Qian Bi sword would probably be able to upgrade to another level.
Until the last day and the last twelve hours, Chu Yunsheng only left with one Yuan Qi circulation he needed to do. He almost reached the peak of Yuan Tian Stage One!
His body was filled with Yuan Qi, and he felt like he had so much energy to use. Jumping from one root to another one, his speed was even faster than before. He climbed along a giant plant’s root, and then jumped into a building through its window. When he reached the other side of the building, he suddenly noticed something.
What appeared in front of him was a group of red-eyed monsters that was attacking a crowd of around thirty people. Since Commander Du spread the news about they were going to break the fog walls and escape from this city, those who had been hiding in every corner of the city no longer wanted to hide anymore. They all flocked to the Jin Jiang Building in section nine.
If there was not any hope and if there was only just despair, people would sink into depravity, but once there was hope, even if it was just only the slightest hope, the greatest desire to survive would burst out from deep inside people’s mind, especially those who had children.
Being trapped in the fog city made them lose hope before, that was why when they saw Commander Du’s troops arrived at the city, they couldn’t care less to ask for help, but now, a troop with a large number of scientists, awakened warriors, and heavy weapons, claimed that they were able to break the fog walls in three days, it sparked hope in people’s minds again. Apart from those people who couldn’t move because of hunger, everyone else was running towards section nine.
Chu Yunsheng vaguely recognized a few people in the crowd, they were from the urban management officer’s crowd, who gave him and Yao Xiang a lead a few days ago. The urban management officer was gone, it only left with the woman leader to lead the rest of the people. Using the red shells as shields and those metal bars as weapons, they were tenaciously fighting with the red-eyed monsters.
Those were ordinary humans, they could only rely on a few guns and metal weapons to fight red-eyed monsters. When Chu Yunsheng appeared, they already started to have casualties. Along the way, there around six half bodies lying on the ground. But what was more shocking was that none of them attempted to run away secretly. They all stayed together defending themselves while slowly moving towards the fog wall.
There were only a dozen red-eyed monsters, Chu Yunsheng could deal with them easily. Raising the bow, he loaded it with one arrow and infused it with enough Yuan Qi. His shooting skill had increased a lot. However, the monsters were around forty meters away from him, plus shooting at flying targets was still a little difficult for him, he could barely hit the monsters that spread their bodies wide.
“Whoosh!… Whoosh!… Whoosh!…”
Chu Yunsheng continuously shot out arrows. Because he didn’t have accuracy, so he used numbers to make up for his weakness. His firing speed was fast, in just a second, he has already shot five arrows. However, it was still not fast enough. In order to speed up, he decided not to load actual arrows anymore. Yuan Qi started to form arrows on the bow and fly towards the monsters.
One frost arrow wouldn’t consume him too much energy, plus his body was now filled with Yuan Qi energy, so even though he fired so many shots, he did not mind it at all. Also in order to complete the last Yuan Qi cycle as soon as possible, he needed to use as much Yuan Qi as he could. He had more than twenty full-patterned absorption talismans now, so he could replenish his Yuan Qi at any time.
Those monsters were shot down one by one, only a few of them turned around and flew towards him.
Seeing this, he immediately started to control Yuan Qi inside his body, and quickly shot a few more frost arrows, then he hung the bow on his shoulder, drew the sword and jumped off the root while hacking the sword down. Two monsters were instantly cut in half!
“Look!!! The man with red armor!” A woman in the crowd shouted.
“We, we are saved!?” A mother was crying out loud.
“Hum… Have we met this person before?” one of the kids in the urban management officer’s group murmured.
…
Chu Yunsheng was slashing his sword fast, the red-eyed monster’s number was reduced rapidly. When it was down to the last one, everyone was shocked to see that the monster suddenly turned around and attempted to run away!
Since the day those monsters appeared, they had never seen any monsters that would attempt to escape from the battle!
Even Chu Yunsheng, who had fought with so many monsters for so many times, was also shocked.
He had seen some monsters’ strange behaviors before. When he fought with five red-shelled insects at a supermarket in Shen Cheng city, the last remaining insect attempted to call for help, but that was all it did, it still did not run away.
Just in a moment of pause, the red-eyed monster had already escaped a short distance, he quickly took out the bow and arrows, kicked the root around him and jumped up to start a high-speed chase.
After infusing the last bit of Yuan Qi he had inside his body to the arrow, and as soon as he landed on a branch, three arrows were shot continuously. The last red-eyed monster that was running away in panic, was finally shot down.
At the same time, the last Yuan Qi circulation was also finally completed.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt that his body was so light, and it even began to automatically absorb Yuan Qi slowly from the area around him!
Yuan Qi that went into his body started to flow everywhere inside his body. He could even hear the strange noises coming from inside his body.
Feeling anxious, he did not even pick up the red-eyed monsters’ bodies on the ground. Instead, he just quickly rushed towards the building in section nine.
When Chu Yunsheng rushed into the building while he was still on his armor, the crowd in the lobby area was startled. However, he did not have time to consider if he should deactivate the armor or not, he just quickly ran past the crowd like a gust of wind, and grabbed Yao Xiang, who was speaking to Ding Yan, then rushed into the nearest room, while speaking hurriedly to Yao Xiang, “watch the door for me!”
He then shut the door before Yao Xiang even had time to respond to him.
Meanwhile, the people who were startled by the red amour in the lobby completely lost their composure, they all demanded Commander Du to tell them what exactly was going on!
More and more people started to think that this was a trap that was set up by the military.
The lobby area was extremely chaotic, it was on the verge of violent conflict.
