Matchless Pill God

11. Abandoned

“A beast tide has broken out?” Xia Bingning’s expression changed drastically. The Devil Dragon Mining Area was a large wasteland, where even large beasts were rare, let alone beasts.

It was unbelievable that the beast tide had broken out.

What drastic changes, which had caused a beast tide, had taken place in this Devil Dragon Mining Area?

“How could it cause a beast tide?” Xia Bingning asked quickly with twisted eyebrows.

The deacon of the outer academy Liu Ren shook his head and coughed a few times. His meta force was suddenly unstable. He spat out a mouthful of black blood, and said in a deep voice, “I just encountered a small wave of beasts led by a fourth-tier beast. Fortunately, I avoided it in time; otherwise I would have been dead somewhere.”

Liu Ren was still in fear.

Fourth-tier beast were equivalent to human masters of the heaven-through realm, and behind the fourth-tier beast, there were hundreds of beasts below the fourth tier. Their momentum was simply like a torrent, destroying everything in their way. Even the human masters of the heaven-through realm would be clashed into pieces…

Liu Ren was also very lucky, and he could only survive because he met the edge of this small beast tide far away!

“Okay, I will ask the students participating in the assessment to prepare and leave the mine as soon as possible.” Xia Bingning nodded and said.

She knew the seriousness of the situation. She had only encountered a mutant corpse king, but she did not expect that a desolate and uninhabited Devil Dragon Mining Area, which was barren even for beasts, would have a beast tide covering such a large area!

“Don’t!”

Hearing this, Liu Ren quickly grabbed Xia Bingning and said in a low voice, “If we bring the students participating in the assessment, it will make us too big of a target. We’ll be easily attacked by the beast tide, and no one will survive by then!”

“Hmm?”

Xia Bingning looked unbelievingly at Liu Ren, the deacon of the outer academy, and said with a mocking voice, “Deacon, you mean to give up the group of students outside?”

“I can’t do this!”

Xia Bingning tone was resolute and righteous.

Liu Ren frowned and raised his eyelids. He was very dissatisfied with the stubborn Xia Bingning. He pointed to the outside and said,“With those burdens, we all will die.”

“You have never seen the terrible beast tide. The overwhelming beasts are coming like a tsunami, even the heaven-through master will have to die, not to mention the soul-through martial artist!”

Xia Bingning came from a big family, and even the new deacon of Floating Cloud College favored her. Liu Ren was the honored deacon of the outer academy, and seldom did he speak in such a manner. If she was an ordinary student, he would have slapped her in the face.

As for the group of students outside who generally hadn’t opened three meridians, Liu Ren couldn’t care less about them in this catastrophic situation. Strictly speaking, they were not yet even the students of Floating Cloud Academy.

“Bingning, watch your words. Tutor Liu is just thinking for us.” Zhao Qingcang took a deep breath, and persuaded her to accept the fact. At the same time, he glanced at Qin Sheng coldly, “This scum, we shall never take him back to Dayan. Let him stay in the Devil Dragon Mining Area forever.”

“Humph!” Xia Bingning snorted indifferently, unable to understand Zhao Qingcang’s wrong reasoning.

At this moment, someone was outside yelling.

“Oh, no! There is a terrible beast tide outside!”

“We’ve been abandoned.”

“The deacon and the seniors are going to abandon us!”

“Don’t abandon us! Take us back to Dayan!”

…

It turned out that someone approached and eavesdropped just now, and then spread the conversation, causing an uproar. They shouted loudly for Liu Ren, Deacon of the Outer Court, not to abandon them!

“This bunch of burdens!” Liu Ren’s expression was gloomy and very ugly, and he murmured.

At this time, he must go out to maintain order, because he knew that the corpse king was wandering nearby, and once the corpse king was attracted here, it would take its heavy toll on him!

In the past, as the master of the late stage of soul-through realm, even if he could not hunt such a corpse king, he could definitely retreat without any injury. However, now he had encountered a small beast tide, suffered heavy losses, and his strength was not one tenth of his peak. It was really difficult to fight the corpse king.

“Everyone be quiet!” Liu Ren walked out and said loudly. His voice showed the pressure of his meta force. Although less than one tenth of his strength was left, it was still easy to suppress this group of low-level warriors who were not able to open three meridians.

All the students were suppressed by the surging meta force, their face crimson with anger, especially those who was fearless to stir up trouble. They were particularly treated by the deacon, and were suppressed to the point of kneeling…

Liu Ren announced loudly, “The great changes outside have caused a terrible beast tide. The two inner academy students and I will first go back to the academy for help. You guys stay here quietly and wait for rescue.”

Liu Ren was indeed the deacon of the outer academy. He had seen all kinds of scenes. His words were sophisticated. Coupled with the suppression of his meta force, even if the students participating in the assessment were very dissatisfied, they couldn’t resist.

“Ha, isn’t this abandoning us in another way? It seems that we have become abandoned dogs.” At this time, Qin Sheng said untimely, and walked out from behind Xia Bingning, his indifferent face a bit more mocking.

“Yes, that’s not what you said when you enrolled.”

“You promised to protect our lives during the assessment.”

“If we had known that, we shouldn’t have come to take part in the assessment of this stupid academy!”

Some people gritted their teeth and whispered, with a disgruntled expression.

There were other martial arts academies besides Floating Cloud Academy nearby, including several other martial arts academies that were better than Floating Cloud Academy. However, the admission requirements of Floating Cloud Academy were not too high, and there were relevant rewards, which attracted many locals from Dayan to participate in the assessment.

Liu Ren turned his head, invincible and intimidating, exuding a terrible aura. His eyes locked on Qin Sheng, and he said in a deep voice, “This boy, don’t talk nonsense. Why would Floating Cloud Academy give up you students who are participating in the assessment? Once we have returned to the academy safely, we will immediately bring masters to rescue you!”

Qin Sheng was calm and unhurried, regarding Liu Ren’s aura as nothing, and he behaved leisurely all the time.

“Tsk, I think you will only arrange for people to come to rescue us after the beast tide is gone. By then we will have long become the dung of the corpse king!”

Qin Sheng did not give any respect to the so-called deacon of the outer academy.

Liu Ren was angry, and his meta force burst out instantly. He left an afterimage in the place, tearing through the air, and slapping towards Qin Sheng.

Even though Liu Ren was badly hurt, how could a low-level warrior of the meridian-through realm be able to undertake the ferocious blow of the soul-through master?

Liu Ren’s attacks were very fierce. After this slap, a low-level warrior who only had three meridians opened would probably lie in bed for at least three months!

“You wanna a piece of me?!”

Qin Sheng was very calm. He took out a bottle from his bosom and held it high. Liu Ren came quickly and escaped quickly, too. As a master in the late stage of the soul-through realm, he was very powerful. He looked deeply at the thing in Qin Sheng’s hands, and there was a touch of fear in the depths of his pupils. He instinctively felt that he had to stay away from what Qin Sheng was holding; otherwise he would suffer a big loss.

This was the perception gained by the accumulation of soul power to a certain extent.

Qin Sheng sneered. There was the poison of the corpse king inside, which could easily poison soul-through master down. Of course, Liu Ren could still resist for a few minutes in his heyday, but he was badly injured now.

Moreover, the poison had been refined by special methods and could only infect one man, and would not cause large-scale human-to-human transmission.

Seeing Liu Ren back off.

Qin Sheng walked in front of everyone again and said, “I, Qin Sheng, will not give up everyone.”

“What’s so terrible about this? Isn’t it just a small group of beasts? What’s so terrible!”

“Come here, one thousand crystals per person, and I will take you out. I promise that I will never let you lose a single hair.”

Qin Sheng actually shouted and canvassed business.

Zhao Qingcang sneered indifferently, “Qin Sheng, don’t be too shameless. The disaster is approaching, and you dare to take advantage of it!
