Chapter 292: Shisan's Death
Shisan and Shijian were worried about the young lady. They rushed in too hastily just now. When they encountered danger, it was too late. They were hit head-on by the two second-level demon monkeys. The two demon monkeys didn't care about that. Who else could have entered the cave except the enemy? So they stretched out their claws and grabbed Shisan and Shijian on the chest.
From Qin Ruyan screaming and running away, to the two demon monkeys rushing out of the cave, it was slow to say, but in fact it happened in a flash. Shisan and Shijian were worried about the young lady, forgetting their own safety, and suddenly encountered the second-level demon monkeys on the opposite side. They were in a hurry to react and immediately became flustered.
Shijian's situation was slightly better. He rolled on the ground in a hurry to avoid the attack of the second-level demon monkey on the opposite side, and then retreated backwards. However, he forgot that there were four first-level demon monkeys staring at him from behind. He was grabbed on the back by the monkey claws, leaving a fist-sized wound.
Shishan's situation was more serious. He wanted to avoid it, but the first-level demon monkeys behind him also surrounded him. He was immediately surrounded by three demon monkeys. It was difficult for a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining to deal with a first-level demon monkey, let alone three? Not to mention that there were second-level demon monkeys among them. Shishan tried his best, but it was difficult to resist. In the end, he was grabbed by the second-level demon monkey on the chest, which tore through Shishan's Qi defense shield and even had a big hole in his heart.
The incident happened too suddenly. Qingyang and Deng Changzhu had no time to rescue him and could only watch Shishan being killed. However, Qingyang and Deng Changzhu were only at the first level of Qi Refining. Even if they wanted to save Shishan, they were powerless.
As for Hou Jiangong, Deng Changting and others, they were still some distance away from the cave at this time, and it was too late. Qin Ruyan, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, had this ability, but she was so scared that she couldn't even move. How could she have the energy to save others?
With his heart broken, there was almost no possibility of survival. Shisan fell to the ground and was not dead yet. His body twitched. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Qin Ruyan. His eyes were full of attachment to life. After a long time, he stared and died.
Looking at Shisan who died with his eyes open, and watching the people around him die like this, Qin Ruyan knew for the first time the cruelty of reality and knew that death was so close to her. She always heard others say that it was dangerous outside, but she never took it to heart. Now reality has taught her a lesson. Danger is everywhere, and it has nothing to do with status. Anyone may encounter that day.
Let alone Qin Ruyan's psychological activities, the situation on the field is extremely critical. The demon monkeys will not stop attacking because of Shisan's death. On the contrary, they are more ferocious because of the blood. They even did not let go of Shisan's body. They grabbed it from the ground and tore it into two pieces. After completely dealing with Shisan, a group of demon monkeys gathered around the others.
Shi Jian was still calm. While the demon monkeys were killing Shi Shan to vent their anger, she flashed and came to Qin Ruyan's side, joined the other three, and temporarily escaped from danger.
This was of course only temporary, because Qin Ruyan was hit by Shi Shan's death and was still immersed in grief at this time, and Qingyang and Deng Changzhu were not strong enough to fight against the six demon monkeys on the opposite side. If they were surrounded by demon monkeys, they might still suffer.
Qingyang had not practiced for a long time, but he had experienced a lot of things and had long looked down on life and death. Seeing that everyone was at a loss in the face of danger, and Qin Ruyan was still in a daze, he couldn't help but roar: "What are you doing, take you to beat the young lady and run away."
Qingyang had to be anxious. If everyone met by chance, or if he was not a disciple of Qingfeng Hall, he would not care about the other party's life or death. But it's not possible now, because Qin Ruyan's identity is too important. If there is any mistake, no one will have a good result.
Even if he ran away, it was useless. The seven major sects of Jiuzhou Continent were respected. If he offended the deputy head of Qingfeng Hall, he would offend the entire cultivation world. At that time, he would be a rat crossing the street and everyone would shout and beat him. How could it be easy for a small cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining to escape the wanted list of the entire cultivation world?
Qin Ruyan woke up from her dream after Qingyang yelled at her. At this time, her mind was blank and she had no idea. She was pulled by the sword next to her and fled out of the cave. Qingyang and Deng Changzhu were responsible for the rear guard and slowly retreated out of the cave.
Perhaps because there were too many people on the opposite side, the six demon monkeys did not attack in the first time, giving everyone a chance to leave the cave. After a few breaths, Hou Jiangong, Deng Changting and others also rushed over. The two gangs gathered together and did not have to worry about the demon monkeys on the opposite side for the time being.
When Hou Jiangong and others came over, the six first-level demon monkeys also chased over. The two groups of demon monkeys also gathered into a group and confronted Qingyang and others on the opposite side. The demon monkeys on the opposite side did not seem to be sure of winning, so they did not attack for the time being, but gathered together to defend the cave.
There were a total of eight people on Qingyang's side, and almost everyone was injured. Although Deng Changting had not been in battle, he had consumed a lot of true energy because he presided over the formation, so his strength at this time was also discounted. There were a total of twelve demon monkeys on the opposite side, two second-level demon monkeys, and ten first-level demon monkeys. The strength of both sides was almost equal. At this time, everyone knew that it would not be easy to seize the spirit wine.
Hou Jiangong said: "Senior Sister Qin, Senior Brother Deng, what should we do next?"
Deng Changting was undecided for a while, so he cast his eyes on Qin Ruyan. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qin Ruyan was a little unwilling, and gritted his teeth and said: "The matter of stealing the spirit wine cannot fail. Everyone help me block these demon monkeys in front of me, and I will go in again."
Cui Yu'an felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and said: "Sister Qin, it is difficult to succeed at this point. We might as well retreat first and then make a long-term plan."
Qin Ruyan glanced at Cui Yu'an and said: "But I am unwilling to give up. For this matter, I did not hesitate to lie to the elders and use tricks to get out of the immortal gate. For this matter, I traveled thousands of miles without any effort. For this matter, I spent countless energy thousands of miles, and finally even lost the life of Shisan. If I return empty-handed, how can I face people in the future?"
Just then, Deng Changting next to him suddenly exclaimed: "No, the Monkey King is coming out!"
Just now, Deng Changting was worried about Qin Ruyan, and forgot his duties for a while, and rushed over here after dropping the formation flag. When Qin Ruyan was temporarily out of danger, he remembered the formation. The rock formation was already in danger because no one presided over the formation and could not get the true energy replenishment.
Under the crazy attacks of the three demon monkeys and countless ordinary demon monkeys outside, the formation has already had a big flaw. If it is not repaired, the entire rock formation will completely collapse.
