Chapter 9: Golem
They were finally reaching the ruin of the Ash-wine Empire.
It was a famous place for mana users, before the apocalypse, and was marked as danger level 3.
But now considering the mutation, which has taken place.
Chen Shu was quite sure on the point, that the danger level may have risen above the normal level 4. Collecting all the Encounters they have faced till yet. He was also sure that none of them will come closer to the danger level, they were about to face.
So, Chen Shu asked every one of them to rest, before they set out for the ruins.
When an explosion which happened not too far away from them caught their attention, and by the looks of It has occurred at the Ruin of the Ash-Wine Empire.
He looked at Len and Duan as he nodded, while he commanded others in a strict voice, "I will be taking the two with me for a quick glance, you guys will prepare mentally to get assaulted by the enemy hoards, and survive these bastards."
No one spoke a single word against the command, as they started to rest. Where the three of them started to make their way toward, the Ruin of the Ash-Wine Empire.
The explosion was big enough, to have a vibration around their area which was a kilometer ahead of them.
Where the chances of encountering a big enemy were more than 99 percent.
On the way there the group of three saw a huge cloud of dust and explosion from the shockwave, while Shu dashed toward the range of the explosion with a full speed.
Where Len and Duan ran as fast as they could, but none of them were able to catch up with Chen Shu.
When both of them thought 'What kind of Monster was Chen Shu.' inside their mind and looked at each other, shock visible in both of their eyes.
Chen Shu did not wait for them and had dashed, to see if he can save a single person.
If possible.
Since what? they lack were people at the current stage given the number of people, they have at the current stage were 9 people, which include 8 soldiers and him with a grand total of 9 people.
Hence the largest advantage of those Undead Zombies lies within the large amount and fearless attitude toward death.
Humans develop emotions of fear to gauge the amount of danger, coming from the enemy. That way, they are successfully able to plan out a good escape.
So humans used their intellect to suppress the other species, even In the times of ancient empires rise and fall and even in primitive.
But in a war the quality does not matter at all, even a god-like him would die fighting against endless enemies...
Enemy at sight...
Chen Shu finally saw the creature and found, a soldier who was protecting a little girl. As he keeps on running as if he was protecting his own child, the girl was a little pale. Seemingly, she had used a lot of mana and exceeded the mana limit. The Symptoms of mana deficiency are always pale face, and blue faint circle visible on her beautiful face.
[Exploding Berries.]
It was something Chen Shu has picked.
Chen decided to save them after seeing only a single enemy present. He also has believed that there was no other enemy, though they could have been buried by that explosion.
The weight of the golem is unusually higher than 90 kg at the bare minimum.
Which is the reason why they must, have used the explosion.
To make the underground grave falls apart and bury all the golems in the process. But most of all they did not imagine, that one would be left out and with those injuries, they were currently running for their lives.
The Exploding berries have their own use, Shu has already experimented on them a lot of time.
Where the Berry let out slippery content, which can act as grease and oils.
Chen Shu has collected them from the monster tree, which he had killed the way here, and thought that these berries can be used in the future for many uses.
The Rock Golem has a high weight and due to this, they are easy to trip.
But the area they were standing on consisted of only sand and other pebbles. Making it easier for Golem to stand on.
If the land were to be greased out with the oil from the berries, then the golem would have a hard time walking and standing on it. Through which he might be able to escape, along with these people.
The strength of the Golem was unknown.
So, he was not making it harder for himself by attacking it, where he has to make sure that the other two also survive this ordeal.
After all, it would become harder, if the other Golems, would come out of the creators over the ruined ground.
He took out the Exploding Berry and used Yan Qi, to heat it up a little and threw it with all of his strength, the berry was launched, like a bullet from the gun, and the soldier guy was quite perceptive to dodge it on the time.
As expected the berries exploded with the juice, covering the whole area making the golem stumble, and fall down on the ground.
Where he was not able to pick himself up again.
"Let me carry the girl you are also very injured, so we have to make it fast toward our camp." When Chen Shu picked up the unconscious girl and rushed out.
After that, some time has passed.
Where Chen Shu met up with Len and Duan on the way, who also followed him back to the camp.
The soldier with the girl was astonished to see, young soldiers like Len and Duan keeping up with him in the speed and with the looks of it, they were holding back a lot for him.
When they reach the camp and Shu commanded, " we will head towards the Northside, there was a good Hiding Place, that we can use for our camp tonight." As he walked, where other soldiers from his group and also followed them.
The previous captain smiled and looked at the newcomer in their group.
The captain was quite good at socializing, as he was able to associate with the injured soldier called Redon.
