Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 920 Escape! Chen Mu's decision!

As the lotus platform fell, the team members on it couldn't help but feel a strong sense of weightlessness, rolling and spinning with the lotus platform.

The lotus platform itself, like a real ball, hit the mountain wall hard, and then rolled down along the rugged cliff. Every collision was accompanied by a sound and the terrified exclamations of the team members on the lotus platform.

As the world spun, the light of the lotus platform began to flicker. It was obvious that it was under extreme pressure, indicating that it would soon be unable to withstand the continuous impact.

As the owner of the lotus platform, Chen Xiaojun was in a terrible condition.

He had to deal with high-intensity battles while also having to concentrate on controlling the huge lotus platform, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

What's more, he also experienced the pain of breaking the external tortoise shell, as well as the huge mental exhaustion brought about by the use of the two ultimate skills, the third and fifth soul skills.

The final concentrated fire caused the lotus platform to tremble violently, as if it was being toyed with by an invisible giant hand.

Chen Xiaojun felt a headache as if it was about to split open, his vision went dark, the whole world was spinning, and he almost fainted.

However, years of experience in life-and-death battles were like a tough rope, tightly pulling at his consciousness, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on with the last bit of strength.

Once the lotus platform falls apart, with so many people sliding down the mountain stream, the consequences will be disastrous.

Deep in the mountain stream, the lotus platform was like a leaf caught in a strong wind, constantly rolling and turning sideways. Every collision made its structure more shaky and it could disintegrate into pieces at any time.

Chen Xiaojun's face had turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth. His body's limits were constantly being reached.

At this moment, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared on the lotus platform like a god descending from the sky.

That was Ma Liang. He had returned quietly at some point and decisively displayed his family's secret skill - "Phoenix Nirvana" in the air.

I saw a huge phoenix shadow slowly spreading its wings behind him, the wings were broad and gorgeous.

Phoenix Nirvana, this is the ultimate secret technique of the Ma family. It not only possesses powerful soul power and defense capabilities to provide him with solid protection, but can also burst out amazing vitality at critical moments.

Under the protection of the phoenix's shadow, Ma Liang felt a warm and powerful force surging into his body. His body, which was originally exhausted and scarred from continuous fighting, was nourished and felt much more comfortable.

He shouted loudly and injected all his soul power into the phoenix shadow. The phoenix shadow instantly released a dazzling light, and more than a dozen soul power chains tightly wrapped the entire lotus platform.

However, the lotus platform is too heavy. Although it is constructed by soul power, it is actually a material entity. Together with the weight of twelve people, it weighs over a thousand kilograms.

At the same time, it rolled down very quickly, and although Ma Liang tried his best, he was unable to completely hold it.

He himself was pulled down by this huge force, and crashed between different mountain walls with a "bang bang bang" sound.

He only felt that his internal organs were dislocated and his whole body was bruised. If it weren't for the power of the Phoenix Nirvana constantly repairing his body, he would definitely be seriously injured and might even die.

However, his efforts were not in vain. He slowed down the speed and method of the lotus platform's descent, changing it from a continuous and violent collision to sliding down the steep slope.

Ma Liang’s cry of “Ah…Ah…” echoed in the valley, accompanied by the girls’ screams and the boys’ gasps.

The lotus platform slid down the steep hillside, and every bump was thrilling.

Finally, at the moment of landing, the huge impact force caused the lotus platform to completely disintegrate, and fragments flew everywhere.

Chen Xiaojun completely lost consciousness at this moment. He was like a rag doll blown by the wind. He was thrown out of the lotus platform powerlessly and hit the rocks heavily, making a dull sound.

The other team members were also staggering and in all kinds of trouble.

Some were thrown out of the lotus platform and were covered with bruises; some were hit by the fragments of the lotus platform and were bleeding; and some were unconscious due to the violent shaking.

The whole scene was in chaos.

Ma Liang ignored his own injuries and rushed towards Chen Xiaojun, checking his injuries with trembling hands.

"Brother Six!"

Ma Liang took Chen Xiaojun's hand. The coolness from his fingertips made his heart tighten. Chen Xiaojun's breathing was so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.

At this time, Su Ningxia also struggled to get up from the chaos. Her eyes fell on Chen Xiaojun's bloodless face. Her heart ached and her eyes were red. "Ma Liang, Master, he...what happened to him?"

Chen Mu staggered over with the support of Chen Shurui and Chen Bin. There were scars on his face, and it was obvious that he had not survived the chaos just now.

Seeing this, Su Ningxia hurriedly asked, "Fifth Young Master, what happened to you? Are you injured too?"

Chen Shurui had a bruised face, but he forced a smile and said, "Fifth Brother helped us both to hold it down when the lotus platform fell just now, otherwise we would have been in a worse situation."

At this time, Ma Liang's voice sounded in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, his pulse is weak, his breathing is unstable, and he is seriously injured!"

Su Ningxia's eyes turned redder when she heard this, and she said angrily, "Nonsense!"

Seeing this, Chen Mu said weakly, "With Lao Liu's physical fitness and luck, he will have a very tough life. Ningxia, don't worry, help Lao Liu stabilize his injuries."

Upon hearing this, Su Ningxia immediately gathered her mind, her soul rings spread out, and she shouted softly, "Fourth soul skill - Green Clouds and Brilliant Lights!"

As the words fell, a green glow overflowed from her palm and turned into a colorful silk with a flowing emerald green sheen, gently falling on Chen Xiaojun's body.

The moment the green silk touched Chen Xiaojun, it quickly moved across the surface of his body. Wherever it passed, some surface wounds slowly healed.

Green Cloud belongs to the wood attribute. Although its healing ability is not as strong as that of the life attribute, it also contains a certain vitality.

However, unless necessary, it is more appropriate for the wood attribute to recover and the superficial injuries to heal on their own.

Because induced labor and natural growth are two completely different processes. Although the former is fast, it is often accompanied by certain risks and sequelae; while the latter is slow but safer and allows the body to gradually recover in the natural rhythm.

But at this moment, the situation is critical, and they can only choose to stabilize Chen Xiaojun's injuries first and then make plans.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the air, and something was falling from the sky at a rapid speed.

Everyone looked up and saw a sharp track cutting through the sky. It was Zhu Wuneng and Dugu Fu rushing down, and finally landed ten meters away from everyone.

As soon as Dugu Fu landed, he started to complain: "Bajie, I asked you to take me flying, not to take me plummeting!"

He rubbed his butt, looking dissatisfied.

Zhu Wuneng glanced at him and said unhappily, "Come on, it's good enough that you managed to escape. Didn't you see how ferocious those soul balls were? If I hadn't been smart, we would have been caught by now."

Dugu Fu heard this and curled his lips in disdain: "Yes, it's good to be able to escape after being smashed into the mountain wall by a spear. But your flying skills are too unreliable, right?"

Zhu Wuneng got angry when he heard this. He pointed at Dugu Fu and cursed, "Hey, I did this for you. If it weren't for your weight of over 100 kilograms, would I have been hit by the spear? And you're complaining."

Dugu Fu covered his ribs and said in pain, "You are right. My ribs hurt so much that I am afraid they are about to break."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuneng frowned and said coldly, "Dugu Fu, you have to understand, if I hadn't been supporting you, would you have only broken ribs? Look at me, my arm still hurts, maybe it's dislocated. How dare you complain?"

At this moment, Chen Mu coughed a few times and frowned slightly, obviously a little annoyed by the quarrel between the two.

The usual bickering seems a bit inappropriate at this moment.

Su Ningxia also noticed the commotion here. She turned her head suddenly and scolded in a stern tone: "Zhu Bajie, Dushe Fu, what are you two still doing? Can't you see that everyone is injured? The young master is seriously injured, and you still have the mind to bicker here?" Zhu Wuneng and Dugu Fu's faces changed drastically when they heard this. They quickly shut up and walked quickly to Chen Xiaojun's side.

………………

After a few minutes.

Zhu Wuneng looked at Chen Mu and asked, "Fifth Young Master, what should we do in this situation?"

Chen Shurui also echoed, "Yes, Fifth Brother, you come up with a rule! Everyone is waiting for you to make a decision."

Chen Mu weakly glanced at the people around him. Their faces and bodies had scars to varying degrees and were covered in dust. Some were even unconscious.

He took a deep breath and said intermittently: "Although we fell from the mountain, the wolf bandits will definitely bring people down to check the situation."

"The valley is steep, and it's not easy for the wolf bandits to come down. They can only go around the mountain and come down, which takes at least half an hour to an hour."

"Almost all of us are injured now. It's too dangerous here, so let's leave here first."

He swept his eyes over everyone and then assigned tasks: "Seventh Brother, you are responsible for the reconnaissance and check if there are any traces of wolf bandits or other dangers ahead."

"Wuneng, you lead the team, maintain formation, and ensure everyone's safety."

"If we encounter a situation where we need to fight, Cuilan, you will lead the battle."

"Xiaoliang, Lao Ba, the two of you are responsible for clearing our traces and setting up a false formation. We can't let the wolf bandits track us easily."

"The rest of you, those with better injuries, take the seriously injured with you and head south."

Upon hearing this, everyone took action.

A few minutes later, Chen Mu took a deep breath and shouted, "Let's go!"

At this command, everyone followed, despite being covered in wounds.

After a few hours, they finally found a relatively hidden cave.

Su Ningxia and Gao Cuilan acted quickly. They gently and skillfully arranged the other team members, trying their best to allow them to rest comfortably.

After a while, Chen Mu's voice sounded in the cave and asked, "How are their injuries?"

Gao Cuilan responded softly: "Chen Haonan and my little Duan are still unconscious, and Yan Xiaolai has a high fever."

"But they have all been given pills. Tiantian and Youli are taking care of them. When they fell from the lotus platform, the three boys were seriously injured in order to protect them."

"But their health is not good either."

Chen Mu nodded when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at everyone, and said weakly: "You all tell me about your injuries, and see how much fighting power we have now."

Chen Shurui spoke first: "Brother Bin and I are fine, but our meridians are damaged and our internal organs are also injured, but we can still hold on."

Dugu Fu smiled bitterly and said, "It is almost certain that two of my ribs are broken, and the stored black bee venom is gone. I don't have any trump cards now."

Zhu Wuneng also said: "My left arm must be fractured, but I can still move it, but I can't use much strength."

As talented top students in key classes, they have all learned the most basic courses that can be used on the battlefield, such as injury assessment and battlefield first aid.

Chen Mu continued to ask: "Where are the others?"

Su Ningxia said softly: "My meridians are also damaged, but fortunately it's not too serious."

Today, she faced two powerful attacks from the Wolf Thief Priest.

Ma Liang also spoke up: "I too, have used the family secrets many times, especially after performing the Phoenix Nirvana, I can no longer perform the family secrets for a short period of time. My second brother is the same, the Double Sun Explosion puts too much strain on his body."

Ma Wencai nodded.

Gao Cuilan finally said: "I'm fine, it's just that the black bee venom I was infected with before has recurred a bit, but it can be controlled for the time being."

After listening to everyone's reports, Chen Mu felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Coupled with his injuries, he no longer has the ability to fight.

He coughed a few times and said with difficulty: "It seems that our combat power is less than one-fifth of what it was before, and we can't go far at this rate. It seems that we need to rest here for a few days."

Zhu Wuneng subconsciously retorted: "This is too dangerous. The wolf bandits may find us at any time."

Zhu Wuneng was right, but looking at everyone's exhausted figures and scars all over their bodies, how could Chen Mu bear to let them continue to run around?

Chen Mu raised his dim eyes, his gaze piercing through the darkness in the cave, and asked Chen Bin and Chen Shurui, "Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, how is your investigation going?"

Chen Bin also looked very tired at this moment, but he still forced himself to be energetic and replied: "Fifth brother, this should be the extension of the southern foot of Eagle Beak Peak - Youlan Stream."

"According to the map that Teacher Zhang left behind, if we walk another 20 to 30 miles, we will be out of this mountain stream, and then we will reach the Misty Forest and Misty Valley."

"Those two places are shrouded in mist and have complex terrain. It will be easier to shake off the wolf bandits' pursuit then."

Su Ningxia's eyebrows were knitted together, and she spoke word by word through her teeth: "No, we can't go any further."

"The road ahead is rough and there are pursuers behind us!"

"There are too many wounded, and the young master is so seriously injured that it is not suitable for him to continue on his journey."

Chen Mu stopped her from speaking and turned to Chen Shurui, his tone full of expectation: "Old Eight, you haven't told me what happened next?"

Chen Shurui hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Wolf Bandits are indeed a problem, but Xiaoliang and I have been waiting for more than an hour and have not found any pursuers of the Wolf Bandits. Maybe they were delayed by something."

Dugu Fu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in surprise: "No? This is strange. Normally, those wolf bandits should not give up chasing us easily."

Ma Liang also nodded and agreed, "Indeed, not at all! My dear and I have been watching closely, but we haven't seen even a shadow of it."

Dugu Fu touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Is it because the mountain road is difficult to walk on? They couldn't find a good mountain road for a while?"

Zhu Wuneng showed a hint of joy: "Perhaps the Wolf Bandits suffered heavy losses and dared not pursue us easily? Or the Wolf Bandit Priest was too seriously injured and could not care about us? Or did something else urgent happen, forcing them to stop the pursuit?"

Ma Liang responded in a deep voice: "This is a good thing for us. At least we can take a break for now."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "How about this, Xiaoliang, you will be responsible for watching behind for the next two days. If you find any trace of the wolf bandits, report it immediately."

"When the time comes, Ah Fu, you will use the soul bone skill of the Black Evil Bee Queen to hide us."

"This cave is quite hidden, and with your spirit bone skills, I hope it can help us escape this disaster."
