章節 3069: Chapter 3054: Awakening_1
Aquipeia Forest, Mixed Zone!
Meng Yiran was pacing back and forth with a look of anxiety on her face, as if she had great concerns…
"Rustle rustle rustle"
Suddenly, the surrounding underbrush started to make intense rustling noises…
Meng Yiran instantly snapped to attention, warily watching the underbrush and calling out, "Xu Sheng? Is that you? Have you come back?"
However, no one responded to her!
Soon, a white rabbit with deep red eyes jumped out from the brushes, glanced at her, and then hurried away...
Upon seeing this, a few strands of disappointment showed on Meng Yiran's face...
But then she patted her chest and said with a tone of relief, "So it was just a rabbit. I thought some soul beast had discovered me!"
Unbeknownst to her, a massive Purple Leopard, several meters tall with a bulky frame, was intently staring at her from behind…
"ROAR!!"
Confronted with that terrifying roar, Meng Yiran didn't even think before immediately putting some distance between herself and the source...
When she looked back, her eyes were filled with deep fear...
She couldn't help but exclaim, "This… this is, a ten-thousand-year soul beast??"
Damn, why did I encounter this at such a time!
Her, alone, already struggled to deal with centennial soul beasts, let alone a ten-thousand-year soul beast!
The soul beast seemed to sense her fear and began to slowly approach, step by step...
At this moment, Meng Yiran really wanted to run, but she had a premonition!
If she showed any sign of retreat, that ten-thousand-year soul beast would pounce without hesitation!!
Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and step back a few paces while staying alert to the soul beast's movements...
However, she overestimated the patience of the Purple Leopard...
The beast lunged forward, spreading its sharp claws and pouncing at her...
With no way to retreat, Meng Yiran clenched her teeth and shouted, "First… First Soul Skill, Snake Blade!!"
Wielding her snake staff, she propelled a blade-like corrosive attack...
Yet, it caused no damage at all!!
She was fiercely knocked down to the ground…
Fear of death made her inadvertently cry out for help…
"No… no, don't, don't! Someone, save me!"
"Grandpa, Grandma!!"
I don't want to die by the hand of a soul beast. Anyone, please save me!
As if her cry for help was heard, an ice sword carrying a chill flew straight in, aiming for the head of the Purple Leopard…
Before it had time to react, it was easily pierced and dragged in front of a big tree…
Meng Yiran was totally stunned and muttered in shock, "Was… was I saved??"
Although she didn't know what had just flown by, it seemed to have killed that soul beast in an instant!
"Yiran, are you okay?"
Xu Sheng, carrying Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang in his arms, walked towards her...
Hearing this familiar voice, Meng Yiran suddenly looked up and excitedly said, "Xu… Xu Sheng, you finally came back. I almost… I was almost killed by that soul beast!"
Seeing her state, Xu Sheng immediately soothed her with a gentle voice, "Yes, I just saw it all. But are you okay now?"
Meng Yiran shook her head and directed her gaze towards Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang...
"I'm okay, but... Grandpa and Grandma, could it be that they already?"
In an instant, crystal-clear tears began to stream from the corners of her eyes...
Xu Sheng's forehead turned dark as she hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, the two seniors haven't died. They have just suffered some minor injuries and exhausted their Soul Power, falling into a temporary coma."
She hadn't even spoken yet; how did Meng Yiran come to the conclusion that her grandparents had perished at the hands of an abyssal creature...
Meng Yiran also realized the embarrassment and quickly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "So... so that's it. But Xu Sheng, was it you who killed that creature and saved Grandpa and Grandma?"
Xu Sheng unequivocally denied that possibility, "No, I don't have that kind of strength. It was just good luck that I took advantage of the creature's inattention and moved the two unconscious seniors away from there!"
"However, it's almost nighttime, and the Aquipeia Forest will become exceptionally dangerous. Let's head to the outer area first!"
Meng Yiran nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll follow your lead!"
...
And so, they made their way to the outer area of the Aquipeia Forest and found a secluded spot to rest temporarily...
After waiting for several hours, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang still showed no signs of movement...
This made Meng Yiran somewhat worried, and she couldn't help but ask, "Xu Sheng, are Grandpa and Grandma really okay? It's been four hours, and they still haven't woken up!"
Xu Sheng smiled at her reassuringly, "Be patient, Yiran. The creature they fought earlier was no weaker than a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and it takes a long time to recover from such injuries."
Her First Martial Spirit, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, though it possessed healing soul skills, was not advisable to use openly to avoid exposure!
Meng Yiran pursed her lips, bowed her head, and said, "I... I understand. Let's wait a little longer then, and if Grandpa and Grandma still haven't woken up, perhaps, we need to seek medical help!"
...
Finally, after another hour and a half, Meng Shu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a light cough...
Then, he slowly opened his eyes...
When he realized that it was pitch-black before him, he couldn't help asking, "Is this... Hell?"
That would mean that he must have died at the hands of that creature!
"Senior, this isn't Hell, but the outer area of the Aquipeia Forest!"
Xu Sheng's sudden words brought him back to reality...
Meng Shu turned to look and, upon seeing Xu Sheng's figure, expressed his surprise, "Xu... Xu Sheng?? Could it be that you saved me?"
The only possibility he could think of was that!
Xu Sheng answered somewhat dismissively, "You could say that. However, Snake Granny is severely injured and hasn't woken up yet."
On hearing this, Meng Shu noticed Chao Tianxiang lying beside him...
He hurriedly extended his Soul Power to sense her condition...
Upon confirming that she was not in serious danger, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...
At that moment, Meng Yiran also noticed Meng Shu waking up and ran over...
"Grandpa, you finally woke up!!"
Meng Shu reached out and rubbed her head, "Yiran, Grandpa thought I would never see you again!"
Meng Yiran savored the touch, but did not forget to remind him, "Grandpa, we owe it all to Xu Sheng. If it weren't for him risking his life to save you and Grandma from that creature, you wouldn't be able to see Yiran now!"
Meng Shu nodded, "I already know."
"But Xu Sheng, how exactly did you manage to rescue us?"
He knew too well how terrifying the creature's perception and strength were; getting close would inevitably be detected!
He found it hard to imagine how Xu Sheng, not even ten years old, managed to do it!
