The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Road To Survival (6)
Refusing to lend them weapons was not because Li Qing was stingy, but because he was naturally cautious. In such a desperate environment, who knew what kind of strange thoughts the other party would have?
There was no order or law in this place. Facing a treasure like Heavenly Saber, he didn’t believe that humanity could withstand much of a test.
Even if the opponent was someone from Flaming Sun Peak, he could be called a comrade-in-arms who had experienced tribulation together, but in different environments, people’s minds would change.
Survival was not easy. In order to survive, he could do anything crazy.
In the Eight Desolates Square, the other party might be able to fight the enemy without regrets with a mouthful of blood. But here, the cold and desperate land of death might not be as upright.
People are the easiest to change. When the hot blood had subsided and his mind was no longer hot, he had to think about the real problem, and that was how he could survive here.
Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Zhao Tao quickly made up his mind and said, “Alright, these are just small matters. There’s no need to argue about them. It’s not appropriate to stay here for long now. Let’s leave this place first.”
Zhao Tao was the only Xiantian expert on the team. His words were naturally heavy enough, so everyone obeyed the arrangements and quickly left this place.
After they left, the mountainous corpses of the demons began to evaporate again. They turned into purple-gold gas and floated in the air. Then, they gradually began to disperse and disperse in all directions.
Above the dark sky, the purple-golden gas became denser and denser, like a purple-golden sea of clouds. It was extremely strange.
The sky was too dark to see clearly. No matter how good their eyesight was, it was useless. Therefore, Li Qing and the others were unable to discover this abnormality.
…
On the way, Li Qing hesitated for a while, but still said, “Senior Brother Zhao, I’m afraid the two of us can’t continue with you.”
“What?” Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned. They didn’t expect Li Qing to actually want to leave, and their hearts were somewhat panicked.
Zhao Tao hurriedly asked, “Why don’t you come with us? There are so many people and so much strength, so we have to take care of each other together.”
Li Qing decisively shook his head and said, “Actually, we have other things to do. I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to be with you. Please forgive us.”
This was just an excuse. The real reason was mainly because he didn’t want to walk with these people.
Of the four people on the other side, two were in conflict with Li Qing. Jiang Dongshu’s mental skills were somewhat unorthodox, making it difficult to trust him. Moreover, Chen Jun had been repeatedly defeated by Li Qing and suffered a lot of humiliation. Now that they were together, it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed.
Such a team did not have much cohesion, making Li Qing feel very uncomfortable, worried that someone would drag him down behind him. It was better for him and Liu Ke’er to be more steady and straightforward.
Moreover, the two of them were basically capable of dealing with all sorts of attacks from demons. They didn’t need the help of others. If they walked along with the four of them, there wouldn’t be any benefits, but there would be a lot of disadvantages. Obviously, it wouldn’t be worth it.
Zhao Tao’s expression was somewhat ugly. He guessed that Li Qing was looking for an excuse to leave. He was truly a bit arrogant and disrespectful to a Xiantian expert like him.
But now, he had to seek the help of Li Qing and Liu Ke’er, so he could only lower his voice. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he patiently continued to persuade, “If there is anything, the six of us can do it together. It would be too dangerous if we were to separate. It would be better to walk together.”
Li Qing still shook his head and said, “No need. This matter is a little inconvenient. Let’s leave alone. Senior Brother Zhao, please fulfill it.”
Zhao Tao took a deep breath. He was slightly angry, but he couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved.
He definitely couldn’t let Li Qing and Liu Ke’er go now. Otherwise, if he encountered a large group of demons like last time, their group would die.
For the sake of our lives, we have to keep the two of them no matter what we say, so he pleaded in a somewhat pleading tone, “If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to hold on. If we were to encounter a large group of demons, we would definitely die. Take it as saving our lives.”
Hearing this, Li Qing was very embarrassed. He had already rejected Zhao Tao so many times, but he didn’t expect that this person would still be so persistent. A dignified Xiantian expert like him had already begged him in such a low voice. If he refused again, it would be too embarrassing.
He sighed helplessly and nodded, “Alright then, since that’s the case, let’s go all the way.”
“Good! Thank you so much.” Zhao Tao’s face revealed a joyful expression, but his eyes flashed with a gloomy cold light.
…
In the next few days, the six of them walked together. With so many people and so much strength, it was indeed easier to deal with the attacks of the demons.
With the passage of time, their experience in dealing with demons became richer and richer. They had never encountered any life or death crises before, and all of them had easily overcome the difficulties.
They had already killed off several waves of demons in succession. Their numbers were extremely large, and their hands were about to soften. Their hearts gradually became numb. They didn’t know when this kind of day would end.
The Eternal Demon Abyss was still as quiet as ever, cold and dark.
This space seemed boundless and vast to the point of despair. After walking for so many days, they were still unable to reach the border of the Devil Abyss.
Not even the shadow of the border could be seen!
The surroundings were too dark to see clearly. This was the most desperate thing, because they did not know how long they still had to walk, nor did they know if they had taken the wrong path. There was no goal, no direction, and they could only move forward numbly.
If they could see the finish line, they would be able to persevere no matter how hard they tried. However, now that they could not see the end, there was no hope in their hearts.
Some people were almost unable to hold on any longer, and their patience was about to be exhausted. What awaited them might be collapse and madness.
During this period, they encountered a few more waves of humans. They were all surrounded by demons, and their situation was extremely critical. One group of them belonged to Flaming Sun Peak, so they took action to save them.
The rest were people from the Six Peaks, but they were enemies. They did not save them and allowed these people to be killed by the demons.
There were a total of three new arrivals, all of whom were Houtian Tenth Floor martial artists. With these people joining them, their ranks gradually grew, and the total number of people reached nine.
With so many people, dealing with danger would naturally be easier.
However, in the next few days, they also discovered a phenomenon, and that was, the demons they encountered had actually become stronger and stronger.
The overall strength of these demons seemed to be a notch higher than the previous ones. The difference in strength was quite obvious and could be easily detected.
Most people didn’t take it seriously and thought it was normal.
Li Qing frowned. He had already noticed this phenomenon a long time ago, and now it was happening again. Obviously, this situation was becoming more and more intense.
This was definitely not a normal phenomenon!
The growth rate of these demons’ strength was simply too fast. Almost every day, it did not conform to common sense. If they continued to develop according to this situation, wouldn’t they end up becoming more and more dangerous?
What was the reason?
He couldn’t help but raise his head to look at the sky, only to see that it was pitch-black, completely unable to see anything unusual.
He couldn’t help but guess in his heart, could it be that the arrival of these humans had caused the demons’ strength to increase?
However, since there was no spiritual energy here, how did the demons increase their strength? It was puzzling!
Right, spiritual energy!
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he thought of a possibility.
Demons didn’t rely on spiritual energy to increase their strength! They relied on absorbing demonic energy!
Demon Qi was equivalent to the spiritual energy absorbed by a martial artist. It was a necessary thing for a demon to increase its strength!
The reason why the demons were able to increase their strength so quickly was very easy to guess. Due to the arrival of these humans, they had killed countless demons and released a large amount of demonic energy, causing the demonic energy in this space to greatly increase. After being absorbed by the surviving demons, their strength would increase!
Thinking of this, all the questions suddenly cleared up.
If that was the case, then it could be predicted that in the future, as they continued to kill demons, and the demons that died turned into demonic energy, the demons behind them would become stronger and stronger!
Doesn’t this mean that they are in a dilemma?
After being attacked by the demons, they had no choice but to kill them. After killing the demons, they would increase the strength of the demons behind them.
If this cycle continued, Li Qing was very suspicious of the extent to which the demon’s strength would grow in the end.
When the demon is almost killed, the demon energy is extremely dense. Will a Demon King be born?
If that was the case, then it would be too terrifying!
Could they really walk out of here in time?
