The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 131
Chapter 131 Road To Survival (7)
Within the Eternal Demon Abyss, there was no concept of time, day or night.
The nine of them had been advancing through the Eternal Demon Abyss like this, trying to find a way out. He didn’t know how long it had been, but it might have been ten days, maybe half a month, or even longer…
Almost every day, they would be attacked by a large group of demons, and their lives would be extremely difficult.
Day after day, it was as if there was no end.
“These demons are getting harder and harder to kill!” After experiencing a wave of demon attacks, Zhao Tao said dejectedly. His head was covered in sweat and he was extremely tired. He sat on the ground in a daze.
There were over a hundred Xiantian level demons in the group of demons just now, and the strongest one was already comparable to a Xiantian 4th layer expert.
It took them a long time to grind that Xiantian Fourth Stage demon to death.
After observing for a few days, Li Qing was more and more certain of his previous conjecture. Most likely, these demons relied on absorbing demonic energy to increase their strength! The later they went, the stronger the demons would be, and the less likely they were to survive.
After such a long and intense battle, everyone’s faces were numb and their eyes were dull, as if they were dead.
Except for Li Qing and Liu Ke’er. There was still a look in the eyes of the two of them, because they were accompanied by their beloved, so they were not completely numb.
The surrounding people looked at Li Qing and Liu Ke’er, their eyes flashing with jealousy from time to time.
“When will this kind of day end!” Finally, someone couldn’t help but cry loudly, “I don’t want to experience this kind of life anymore, I want to go out!”
This person’s name was Wang Long Hao. He was usually a cheerful person, but he didn’t expect that he would collapse first.
“This place is hell! The surroundings are filled with devils!” He sat on the ground, crying and screaming, rolling about like a madman.
Everyone was expressionless as they quietly watched Wang Long Hao’s emotions collapse. They did not try to dissuade him, because no one was in the mood to do such a thing anymore.
Every time they fought, they were so tired that they didn’t even bother to move a single finger. They were all powerless.
…
The next day, something shocking happened!
Wang Long Hao committed suicide!
He looked miserable when he died, his face twisted and filled with madness. A sword brushed across his throat, and fresh blood gurgled out.
His eyes were wide open, as if he was unwilling to die in peace.
Wang Longhao’s death caused a ripple in everyone’s hearts, but it quickly calmed down and became indifferent again.
Death of a companion was no longer a shocking thing.
Not to mention him, many people actually thought of death in their hearts! Perhaps death is the only way to end this.
They dug a hole in the ground, buried Wang Long Hao inside, and quickly ended the matter. Just like that, a life ended calmly. In the future, no one would remember him.
Everyone sat in all directions, staring blankly at the depths of the darkness, their eyes filled with confusion.
“There’s not much food left.” Zhao Tao’s voice caused everyone’s hearts to tighten.
Without food, he would die! In this kind of place, the rate of food consumption is very fast, how can it last for long?
Zhao Tao stood up and walked over to Li Qing and Liu Ke’er. “Li Qing, how much food do you have there?” He asked.
Li Qing replied ambiguously, “It can last for a while. In the next few days, I will bring out more food for everyone to eat. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions relaxed.
At least not for now.
Of the nine people present, only four had spatial rings. They were Zhao Tao, Chen Jun, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er.
There was almost no food in Chen Jun’s interspatial ring. This person was spoiled, how could he prepare these things?
Therefore, these past few days, Zhao Tao and Li Qing had always been taking out food for everyone to eat. Now that Zhao Tao suddenly said that he didn’t have much food, then only Li Qing’s food was left.
In fact, Li Qing still had a lot of food in his interspatial ring. The main reason was that he and Liu Ke’er often hunted demonic beasts. They had entered and exited the Lianyun Mountain Range a few times and accumulated quite a few corpses of demonic beasts. These things could be used as food.
The meat of a demonic beast could be preserved for a very long time. It did not rot for many years. Moreover, it was not easy to break if it was placed in a spatial ring. Therefore, all the demonic beast meat in his spatial ring was edible.
Since Li Qing had saved this group of people, he naturally wouldn’t watch them starve to death. Therefore, he wasn’t stingy and took out food to share with everyone.
…
After a few days, Zhao Tao said, “I don’t have many spirit stones. Everyone, think of a way.”
There was no spiritual energy in this place, so spirit stones were the only way for them to replenish their true energy. Without spirit stones, they could only wait for death.
Everyone’s hearts tightened again. It was really a leak that happened overnight, and problems appeared one after another.
Someone looked at Li Qing and Liu Ke’er and asked, “Li Qing, do you still have any spirit stones?”
Hearing this, Li Qing’s gaze was deep as he said indifferently, “There are still some, but not too many. When you have used up all the spirit stones, and if I still have some left in my hands, I will give them to everyone.”
In fact, he still had a lot of spirit stones in his hands, but he chose to lie. On the one hand, it was to prevent people from being greedy, and on the other hand, of course, it didn’t want them to take it over and over again.
When these people really ran out of spirit stones, it wouldn’t be too late to give them some.
Everyone fell silent again. Everyone’s thoughts were different, and they didn’t know what they were thinking.
…
A few days passed with such difficulty. Another shocking thing happened-Chen Jun went crazy!
The signs had already appeared. Chen Jun had been crying loudly these past few days, his emotions had collapsed, he had been talking nonsense, and he had made some strange movements.
Everyone predicted that his fate would be similar to Wang Long Hao’s.
Sure enough, today, Chen Jun suddenly went crazy, and then he rushed into the boundless darkness without a trace.
No one dared to chase after him. It was vast darkness. Perhaps, if he didn’t catch up, he would have lost himself first.
It could be concluded that Chen Jun would undoubtedly die. It was impossible for him to live alone. Perhaps he would soon be buried at the hands of the demons.
Chen Jun’s madness cast another shadow over everyone’s hearts, causing them to feel extremely heavy.
Li Qing sighed. Their psychological pressure was getting heavier and heavier. If this continued, they might all go crazy before being killed by the demons.
Either you go crazy or you commit suicide. The ending was too cruel!
Everyone sat on the ground in a daze, silent. The atmosphere was very solemn.
Jiang Dongshu said, “Li Qing, I’m out of spirit stones. Give me some.”
Li Qing glanced at him and didn’t say anything else. He took out a hundred spirit stones and handed them to him.
Jiang Dongshu took the spirit stones and a cold look flashed in his eyes. He said, “Every time I use up the spirit stones, I have to take them from you. It’s a bit inconvenient. How about this, everyone hand over the materials on their bodies and give them to Senior Brother Zhao for safekeeping and centralized distribution?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their minds lifted up.
“That makes sense. This is a good proposal. Concentrating resources, allocating resources uniformly, and using the remaining resources rationally might allow us to persevere for a bit longer.”
“I agree!”
For some reason, everyone nodded in agreement.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Tao’s eyes and he nodded, “Since everyone agrees, then I will not give in. Everyone, take out your belongings and gather them in my hands. I will distribute them uniformly.”
As a result, everyone immediately took out their belongings. Some took out dozens of spirit stones, some took out some food, and some other miscellaneous items.
It was piled up in front of Zhao Tao.
Only Li Qing and Liu Ke’er remained motionless, as if they hadn’t heard anything.
Everyone stared blankly at the two of them, their eyes a little strange, green, like the eyes of a wolf.
Zhao Tao smiled and asked, “Li Qing, why don’t you two hand over your things?”
Li Qing’s expression turned cold. He was very disappointed in his heart. He shook his head and said, “I don’t agree with this proposal.”
“But everyone has already agreed. It’s not appropriate for the two of you to disagree.” Zhao Tao said.
Li Qing remained unmoved and said expressionlessly, “Right now, most of the food and spirit stones are in my hands. All of you have less than half of what I have. Didn’t you suggest that I hand over all of my supplies? Do you think this is possible?”
Zhao Tao wasn’t anxious and persuaded, “This is also for your own good. Let me distribute all the supplies in a unified manner, which can increase your chances of survival. Isn’t it better? Don’t you want to live anymore?”
“What a joke!” Li Qing laughed loudly, “You want to steal my things, but you still say so righteously. Do you really think I’m an idiot?”
