Chapter 241 After the Earth Demon LeftPang Zhongmin tried to move his body, but Ge Yingying beside him reached out and pinched him again, signaling him to wait. The Earth Demons had been gone for more than half an hour when a disciple came out from one of the ambush piles. Then he ran towards the defense line like crazy. The others waited for a while, making sure that no earth monsters appeared, before coming out from their ambush position. Trying not to get rid of the dirt on their bodies, they quickly ran back to the defense line. The sky is still dark. It is not yet midnight and it is still a long way from dawn. Walking back to the defense line, Ge Yingying looked at the current front line of defense. There were bloodstains all along the way, and some of the blood had not even dried up. The pungent smell of blood kept drilling into my nose. A group of people looked pale.
Compared to their fellow disciples in the defense line, they were actually safer hiding in that hidden position. Seeing the scene before them, Pang Zhongmin, Ge Yingying and the other four were filled with regret and despair. From the moment the earth demon appeared, everyone who was in ambush actually understood. They thought that "Chen Su" was just pretending, but in fact they just couldn't understand or comprehend the layout. The location where the earth demon appeared had almost no deviation. The ambush location is also extremely secretive. Ge Yingying thought back to what she had said before. Just before nightfall, she told "Chen Su" that she knew more about dealing with monsters than he did. It was really embarrassing. But in fact, this is no longer a question of shame. Because of their arrogance and willfulness, they did not notify the elders to come. The sect's front line has ended up like this. The other disciples who were not injured were now rescuing the unconscious injured. Some of these disciples who fainted had already died, while others were only injured. Everyone just placed them in the tent first. As for the rest, we have to wait until the doctor from Yunyang Sect arrives. Whether there is any hope of saving the patient or not, we have to wait for the doctor to make the final decision. As the leader of the Yunyang Sect, Taiwu Zhenren is also helping to rescue disciples on the front line. What happened tonight was not just that many disciples were injured. What’s even more fatal is the morale of the sect’s front line. The impact of the earth demon made many disciples feel despair. That kind of creepy and terrifying aura made many disciples lose the faith to resist. Su Chen was already helping to rescue people at this moment.
Seeing Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin, Su Chen gave them a cold look. If it had happened before, they would have come forward to argue. But now, they could only bear it when Su Chen rolled his eyes at them. Around midnight, the other four elders of the Yunyang Sect also arrived. The sect’s doctors and various medicinal herbs and equipment were also transported to the Yunyang Sect’s front line overnight. Sun Xuerong should still be in the Feiying Sect at this moment, asking the Feiying Sect to return the half Tianye Fruit. The front line of Yunyang Sect was busy all night long. Several elders are stationed at various places on the front line to prevent the earth demons from returning. Judging from what happened tonight, the earth demon is indeed cunning. The time of its attack was directly chosen between the hours of Xu and Hai. At this hour, the sky had already completely darkened, and it had the best geographical advantage. The disciples on the Yunyang Sect's defense line had not expected the monster to launch a surprise attack at this hour, and were unable to cope with the situation. The earth demon would make such a plan, so there is no guarantee that it will not turn back halfway and launch another surprise attack. But this is really overthinking. The earth demon is cautious and cherishes its life. After it is sure that there is a strong person in the state of transformation, it will not come again. The wilderness is especially cold at night, and those who are injured will feel extremely cold and shiver all the time. In each tent, Su Chen arranged for his disciples to burn and pick up some charcoal and place it at the entrance and exit of the tents to keep them warm. People’s self-healing ability is not weak, but during the self-healing period, do not add other burdens to the body. Hearing Su Chen's order at this moment, these disciples had no reason to evade. They all followed Su Chen's arrangements honestly. The sky gradually brightened. The leaders of Yunyang Sect had arranged for many disciples to come and replace them. The injured disciples will be sent back to the sect for recuperation and treatment today. The sect’s specialized personnel also began to count last night’s losses. How many people were injured, how many people died. Last night's disaster was probably the most serious one since the beginning of spring last year. The chaos caused by the local demons can really destroy the Yunyang Sect’s front line. At noon, Master Taiwu and four other elders sat in the tent, listening to reports from their subordinates. Thirty-seven people were seriously injured and forty-one died last night. Minor injuries were not included in the statistics.
The serious injuries mentioned in the report were all those who lost their ability to move directly during the raid. It is not yet known how many of the 37 seriously injured people can be rescued. For a large part of them, even after being rescued, it would be impossible for them to go to the front line again. “Last night, the demon’s target was Hall Master Shang Yan, so it rushed directly to the tent on the northwest side of the defense line. If it focused on attacking ordinary disciples, at least three to four hundred people would be killed or injured on the front line." The fourth elder frowned and spoke. He had already gone to learn about the situation in detail this morning. From the route of the earth demon's attack, its target can be clearly seen. It didn't think too much about it, and the front line far away from Shang Yan's tent didn't suffer much loss. The people are generally safe, with only some small and big monsters causing interference. After listening to the report, several people went to check on the disciples who were injured last night. After checking on the situation of the disciples, he also went to see Shang Yan. She has woken up at this moment, but the sole of her left foot has been bitten off. It is not easy for her to stand firm now. The injuries on his body were also serious. But in comparison, what she was most desperate about was still her feet. This injury will reduce her strength by more than half. In the tent, when Shang Yan saw the elders, he even wanted to stand up and greet them. Taoist Taiwu quickly walked over to her side and let her rest. Seeing that her emotions were relatively stable, I started talking about what happened last night. Shang Yan told everyone what happened last night, and everyone understood what happened last night from this perspective. "If you hadn't arrived so quickly, I wouldn't have survived until now. Come to think of it, Master, how did you know so quickly that there was a problem on the front line? It would take at least two hours for the message to be delivered from the front line." Hearing this, the other elders unconsciously looked towards Master Taiwu. "The reason is very simple. When Chen Su found out that there were no Transformation Realm experts at the front line, he rushed over without stopping to inform me. If not, I might not have known about such a serious incident on the front line until after midnight." Hearing this, the second elder next to him seemed to have grasped the problem. “Why did he come to the sect so late to report the situation? If we had been informed earlier, we could have waited behind the defense line earlier."
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Taiwu turned his head and looked at the Second Elder. “Want to know why you came to the sect to announce it so late? Today I will take you to see the real reason." After a pause, Master Taiwu called in the servants at the door of the tent. "Except for some sentries, all other frontline disciples of Yunyang Sect were called outside the camp. Those who are too seriously injured to get up can continue to rest, and everyone else can be called over." The front line has been roughly stabilized, and the next step is accountability. Taoist Taiwu was filled with resentment. If the elders had prepared in advance for the situation last night, the earth demon would have surely died. But now, just let the earth demon go. The front line of Yunyang Sect will continue to be threatened by the earth monsters and will be in constant fear. And because of the situation this time, the earth demons may be more vigilant. I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait for the next opportunity like this. (End of this chapter)
