Chapter 153
He Hu, He Renlong’s brother, kept running. He didn’t dare stop.
He didn’t know why, but he didn’t trust his brother. At the moment when Jiang Chen drew out his sword, his confidence was shattered into pieces.
Too anxious to pay attention to the course, he suddenly stumbled on an exposed tree root and fell on his face.
Feeling pain from his face, he sat against the tree to take a rest.
He won’t come after me, will he?
He looked in the direction he had come from. He wished his brother would appear at that moment.
Although he would be reproached, he would be safe.
Jiang Chen became anxious. He extended the sunlit stone over at once, but the vines that had trapped Li Xue’er weren’t affected. Only those nearby were pushed back by the light.
“The vines intertwining you will use your energy to resist the sunlit stone,” Jiang Chen recalled what was written in the book he had read. He grasped the vines on Li Xue’er and tried to rip them off, but as he already knew, they were too tenacious for him to rip off.
“It’s not gonna work. Even my Thick Ice Sword doesn’t work.”
Li Xue’er could feel Jiang Chen’s fingers on her. She felt unsafe, since her hands were bound, and she could do nothing.
“Apprentice sister, take this sunlit stone and inject your holy yuan into it so that the vines won’t hurt you.”
“What about you?” Li Xue’er asked him, but didn’t take it.
“I’ll be fine. I have a bunch of them. They’re cheap.”
Jiang Chen handed the sunlit stone in his hand to Li Xue’er.
“It’s not gonna work. The vines have absorbed all of my holy yuan.”
Li Xue’er was holding the sunlit stone, but it didn’t emit any light.
“Panaceas.”
Jiang Chen took out many panaceas to feed Li Xue’er.
Li Xue’er hesitated, but finally opened her mouth to take them.
“The panaceas don’t work as efficiently as the magical vines,” Li Xue’er shook her head.
“They’re bloody magical vines. They aren’t sh*t.”
Jiang Chen sighed and spoke again. “It’s okay, apprentice sister. Hold my hand and take in the spirit of universe.”
“That’s not gonna work either. We’re in the Realm of Beasts,” Li Xue’er said.
“Why does nothing work? Just do what I told you. We don’t have much time left!”
Jiang Chen was anxious. Li Xue’er’s negativity irritated him, but it wasn’t her fault. That was her character. She was facing life and death calmly.
Reproached by Jiang Chen, she was dumbfounded. She held Jiang Chen’s hands before she even realized what she was doing.
When she found she could indeed take in the spirit of universe through Jiang Chen, she hurried and tried not to waste any time.
Soon, she ignited the sunlit stone successfully.
The vines on her withered up immediately and she was freed.
“Let’s go.”
Li Xue’er was able to fly, which was convenient for Jiang Chen.
“Help! Help!”
The others were almost exhausted by the magical vines. They were surprised to see Jiang Chen’s great ability, so they hurried to ask for help.
“Heh, I’m only a shameless and nasty disciple of the Natural Law School. I’m afraid I’m unable to save you.”
Jiang Chen still remembered how they had insulted him, especially that Yi Ning, who was also among them.
“We were wrong. It was just a misunderstanding.”
“Disciple of the Natural Law School, help us, please.”
“I’ll pay you a handsome reward if you save me!”
