Chapter 107: Happy and Painful

Run.

Run for your life.

In the raging sea of fire, a small team rushed out, running for their lives.

People were gray-faced and dirty, and some even had their clothes burned.

But at this life-and-death moment, no one dared to stop. Everyone knew how hard-won this path to survival was.

"Snap! Snap!"

Lu Ran endured the pain of being burned, running while slapping the flames that had ignited on his arms.

To be honest, Lu Ran felt like he was going crazy.

Because he was not only in pain, but also very happy...

It wasn't that the little lamb was burned beautifully, thinking he would become a fragrant roasted whole lamb.

It was because in the process of breaking through the encirclement, Lu Ran's Black Lantern evil sculpture had been rising fiercely!

Stream Realm, 4th Stage.

Stream Realm, 5th Stage... River Realm, 1st Stage!

Even at this moment, Lu Ran had already rushed out, but his Black Lantern evil sculpture was still receiving a large amount of nourishment.

Above his head and behind him, there were sounds of Black Lanterns exploding everywhere.

This kind of creature prone to explosion formed a terrifying chain reaction.

One Black Lantern exploding could affect a small area around it, and this small area could affect a large group!

The Black Lantern clan seemed to have entered a "self-destruction program."

Following this, a large number of Black Lantern clan souls surged toward Lu Ran's position.

However, Lu Ran wasn't carried away by the excitement; he was still leading the team to run wildly and stay away from the battlefield.

This wave, he had already made a fortune!

In just one battle, he had raised the Black Lantern evil sculpture from Mist Realm, 1st Stage, to River Realm, 1st Stage...

This was something Lu Ran didn't dare to think about; he had already started worrying about whether the evil spirit's original sculpture would notice.

"Here, here!" The middle-aged woman suddenly shouted for help.

After rushing out of the sea of fire, people's vision returned to normal, and the middle-aged woman also saw a soldier squad rushing over on the torch path in the distance.

Eerily, above the soldiers' heads, there was also a magic array floating?

The array was circular and semi-transparent, very much like a giant map?

And it was a "dynamic 3D" one, with mountains undulating and rivers flowing on the map.

"Whoosh!!"

On the huge terrain map, astonishing energy suddenly burst out.

The world seemed to tremble!

The next moment, Lu Ran couldn't help but click his tongue.

He saw one human soldier figure after another falling around the soldier squad!

Scattering beans to become soldiers?

No!

This group of soldiers had different appearances, their uniforms were uniform, and they were clearly real, flesh-and-blood people.

Obviously, that huge phantom map was a teleportation array!

"Extinguish the fire! Quick, quick, extinguish the fire!" The leading soldier shouted.

Lu Ran's squad and the soldier squad approached each other, and bursts of water flow were sprayed over.

"Me! Me!" Chang Ying plunged into the water flow.

The burning clothes were finally extinguished, and her scorching body was also constantly cooling down under the water gun.

Chang Ying couldn't feel comfortable; her body was severely burned, and she was in extreme pain.

When the two sides met, there were already forty or fifty military soldiers, and the number had increased more than tenfold!

This teleportation array was truly not simple.

"Immediately heal the wounded!" The leading soldier continued to order.

Several soldiers quickly reached out with phoenix tree branches, covering Lu Ran and the others.

"Are there any other trainees?" The soldier asked loudly.

"No, we didn't see anyone else." The middle-aged woman opened her mouth immediately; she was wearing bamboo leaf clothes and was less injured.

"Tell me about the situation over there!"

"Evil Nest, it should be an Evil Nest; we saw black mist sprinkled over, and a large patch of Black Lanterns emerged from the mist!"

"It really is an Evil Nest; did you see the specific location of the Evil Nest?"

"No..."

The two communicated for a while, and the soldier shouted orders: "Your squad take them to the nearest Shitoucheng! Everyone else, follow me!"

Under a pile of phoenix tree branches, Lu Ran's shout suddenly came: "The Evil Nest should be on the left hand side of the torch path!

I saw that the black mist was sprinkled over from the graveyard on the left."

Within the soldier team, there were naturally those who could see through the darkness, such as Crow believers.

It was just that, no matter whether the information Lu Ran provided was valuable or not, he would definitely say it; he couldn't hide it.

"Good." The soldier responded and led the troops to charge forward.

"Clatter~"

Lu Ran struggled to push away the phoenix tree branches piled on his body and looked forward.

One general after another showed their magical powers, and the entire troop was broken into pieces, with more than ten squads charging toward the booming battlefield.

"Let's go!" A female soldier said.

Lu Ran only felt the phoenix tree branches on his body suddenly tighten, wrapping his body and floating in mid-air.

The soldier squad moved fast, and in the bumps, Lu Ran only felt bursts of vigorous vitality surging into his body.

This Phoenix Tree believer's strength was quite powerful!

Her healing methods were no longer at the level of "healing injuries," but could also soothe everyone's mind and replenish vitality.

Soon, everyone arrived at Shitoucheng.

After checking injuries and reporting the situation again, the six were forced by the military to leave the Demon Cave.

Under the escort of a soldier squad, the group didn't stop, crossing one Black Grave Mound after another, and finally returned to the main Shitoucheng safely.

When Lu Ran and the others circled the stone pillars and climbed the stairs, they also saw more and more trainees being recalled here.

It seemed that everyone had been forced to leave the field.

Under the feet of the God: Wild Drum, outside the gate of the central building, people were moving.

The vast majority of social trainees didn't know what had happened and could only curiously inquire everywhere.

People naturally discovered the few who were in the most miserable condition—Lu Ran's squad!

These students were all in a state of lingering fear, and their clothes were burned to a charred mess.

In the torn clothes, one could still see fresh flesh that had just grown out.

It had to be said that the healing-type divine technique was truly powerful.

If ordinary medical means were used, everyone's degree of burns would not know how long they would lie in the hospital and how much suffering they would endure.

And after being cured, I'm afraid they would have to have skin grafts.

"Great, nothing happened, great." The middle-aged woman hugged her daughter's tall and slender body, her eyes slightly red.

In the dark Demon Cave, people's nerves had always been tense.

And back on Earth, back in the human world, the emotions that the woman had been suppressing finally erupted.

Everything the group had just experienced could be completely described as "escaping from death."

"Mm." Si Xianxian's body was a bit stiff.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and patted her mother's back gently.

The woman seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the few young men and women: "Thank you, thank you!"

Now, she finally knew that there was an Evil Nest standing in that dark graveyard.

Because of this, the woman was even more clear that if Lu Ran had gone a moment later...

Her daughter would definitely have died there!

Not only would the physical body die, but her soul would probably also be burned, not knowing what kind of extreme pain she would experience.

"Auntie, what's your surname?" Lu Ran turned to look at the woman.

"Si, Si Caiqin."

Lu Ran sighed deeply, calming his mood: "Auntie, you are too polite, you brought so many things."

"Little Lu, Auntie has a question."

"What?"

"Auntie has also seen some Immortal Sheep believers, you seem to be a bit different from them?"

Hearing this, Si Xianxian also secretly pricked up her ears.

"Is Auntie talking about fighting?" Lu Ran brought out his set of rhetoric, "I haven't graduated from high school yet, so it's considered a novice period.

At this stage, the Immortal Sheep Lord allows believers to exercise and grow."

Si Caiqin was silent, noncommittal.

This rhetoric obviously couldn't convince her.

Taking a step back, even if the God of Immortal Sheep allowed novice believers to exercise and improve, and become proficient in divine techniques...

It absolutely wouldn't be like the performance Lu Ran showed, killing his way into the lantern array alone and risking his life to save people.

Immortal Sheep believers were also mostly weak and cowardly.

This kind of believer was disliked by others, which was an indisputable fact.

Even if the school forcibly put together a squad, the Immortal Sheep believer was a marginal figure.

But back in the Demon Cave, Lu Ran was the absolute leader of the team, and an extremely strong one at that!

The combat strength, command quality, and powerful warrior style Lu Ran displayed...

Had already far exceeded the quality that a high school student should possess!

In a word, Lu Ran didn't look like a 17-year-old student at all, and even less like an Immortal Sheep believer.

"Maybe, it's because I'm more devout." Lu Ran suddenly opened his mouth.

"Oh?" Si Caiqin looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "The Immortal Sheep Lord favors me, is willing to indulge me, and allows me to fight."

Si Caiqin looked stunned, as if she had heard something incredible.

Si Xianxian suddenly opened her mouth: "He can even invite the evil spirit: Paper Person, what else is impossible.

His aptitude is almost exploding, isn't it normal to be favored by the god?"

The small divine sculpture existing in the house obviously limited the performance of Si Xianxian's little mouth.

In her heart, she thought, a lowest-rank god that is disliked by people, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to recruit a good disciple for thousands of years.

"No need, our home is in Rain Alley City, in Wu Lie River Province."

"I'll drive you all back." Si Caiqin came before Lu Ran and held his arms, "Young man.

Auntie has implicated you all and failed your parents; I will send you all home one by one..."

The middle-aged woman said excitedly, full of apology and gratitude, not knowing how to express it.

As a mother, Si Caiqin could better understand the worries of parents when their children are out in the world.

In the end, Lu Ran couldn't refuse the other party and nodded.

Si Caiqin immediately went to contact a car, while Si Xianxian stood by Lu Ran's side.

"Thank you." Her expression was serious, her eyes incomparably sincere.

She was like a different person compared to the raging, thunderous appearance on the battlefield earlier.

Lu Ran nodded silently, saying nothing.

He stood quietly, his gaze gradually unfocused, lost in thought.

This trip to the demon cave had indeed made Lu Ran rich.

The Black Lantern evil sculpture had come from behind to take the lead!

It had now reached River Realm, Stage One, surpassing the Evil Dog evil sculpture and the Soul-Splitting Demon evil sculpture.

Lu Ran could now equip the first four evil techniques of the Black Lantern clan!

Healing, hallucination, black smoke...

After Lu Ran returned home, he could just find the evil sculpture to learn them.

As Lu Ran advanced to River Realm, he could also directly equip the Evil Technique: Shadow Fire Cage.

That was the terrifying single-target control technique.

This training trip had been too fruitful.

But at the same time, Lu Ran had also experienced an incredibly thrilling life-and-death moment.

Perhaps,

is this a required course for believers in this world?

Lu Ran looked at his teammates, feeling very apologetic in his heart.

After all, it was the place he chose, and it was he who insisted on coming here.

And yet, they encountered an evil nest...

Damn!
