Chapter 173: Monster beast attack!

*Whoosh! *

The arrow in Lin Chen's hand turned into a stream of light, shooting toward the huge shadow behind Jiang Qing the moment she bent down.

Behind Jiang Qing, a fish monster that had silently emerged from the lake surface was a zhang high, and at this moment, it was opening its bloody mouth, wanting to swallow Jiang Qing in one bite.

*Bang! *

The arrow was like a stream of light, shooting into the fish monster's big mouth, directly piercing through the fish monster's head.

*Bang bang bang! *

Lin Chen's following arrows this time aimed at the fish monster's eyes.

The fish monster's double eyes were pierced by the arrows, blood flowed out, and it let out a roar. Its huge body wanted to pounce toward the shore, but Lin Chen didn't give it a chance at all.

A few more arrows were shot out.

At the same time, Jiang Qing also rolled to Lin Chen's side at this moment and looked back for the first time.

When she saw the fish monster falling back to the lake surface, Jiang Qing's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Lin Lin Shidi, go!"

Although this fish monster was repelled by Lin Lin Shidi, the appearance of a monster beast in the special training ground was an extraordinary event in itself.

Jiang Qing could think of this, and Lin Chen could naturally think of it too. The Martial Administration Hall was so secretive about the special training ground, and one of the big reasons was probably to guard against the monster race's sneak attack.

The students who could enter the special training ground were all students with great potential. Giving them ten years of growth time, they would become the backbone of Jiangnan Circuit.

And for the monster race that hated Great Liang, they naturally didn't want to see Great Liang's potential martial artists grow up. It was best to strangle them in the cradle.

How did the monster race know the location of the special training ground, and how did they lurk close to the island without being discovered?

Lin Chen and Jiang Qing looked at each other, both seeing a trace of solemnity in the other's eyes. This could never be an accidental event, an accidental fish monster swimming here by mistake.

I fear there was a follow-up!

Putting himself in their shoes, Lin Chen believed that if he were the monster race and knew the location of the special training ground and wanted to sneak attack, he would definitely not arrange a fish monster. Either don't move, or if you move, you must have the strength to wipe out the opponent.

The two figures ran fast toward the front, and just as their figures disappeared into the dense forest, figures emerged from the water surface on the reefs on the shore behind them, crazily rushing toward the shore.

"My lord, there is a monster beast attack!"

Entering the forest, Lin Chen shouted loudly, and just as he finished shouting, he saw a firework blooming in the high sky above the island. Even in the daytime, this firework was still bright and eye-catching enough.

"The instructors also discovered the monster race's matter."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Qing beside him. This firework should have been launched by an instructor, which was a signal passed to the outside.

"Lin Chen, Jiang Qing, are you two injured?"

Passing through the dense forest, Lin Chen saw a middle-aged man, but he hadn't seen him before, and Jiang Qing immediately said: "Yu Yu Jiaoxi Zhang, the two of us just encountered a fish monster sneak attack on the shore behind the dense forest. Fortunately, Lin Lin Shidi reacted quickly and repelled the fish monster."

"There are also fish monsters in the back mountain. It seems the monster race is well-prepared this time."

Hearing this Yu Yu Jiaoxi Zhang's words, Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. So fish monsters didn't just appear behind the island's back mountain?

"Master Xu asked me to find you two. Come with me first."

Zhang Jiang didn't explain the situation too much. The special training ground had been established for so many years, and this was the first time it had encountered a sneak attack by the monster race, and it was such a large-scale attack.

Soon, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing saw Xu Li and other instructors, and also saw other students.

The students had looks of panic on their faces. Xu Li saw Lin Chen and Jiang Qing return safely, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Among these students, to be realistic, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing were the ones who couldn't have anything happen to them.

"There is a monster race invading. This official and the instructors will repel the fish monsters. You all go to the iron warehouse first."

The safest place in the special training ground is the iron warehouse.

After Xu Li finished speaking, he swept his eyes over the many instructors present, and then said: "Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min, you take them over."

"Yes."

Min Huanbo nodded: "You all come with me."

Until the figures of Lin Chen and other students walked far away following Min Huanbo, Xu Li's expression instantly turned cold: "Colleagues, fight these monster beasts with me! Remember our duties!"

Chen Ping and others had serious expressions and responded heavily.

The duties of an instructor, besides teaching students, also include protecting students.

"Master Xu, rest assured, if these monster beasts want to harm the students, they must step over my corpse."

"No need to fight these monster beasts with your lives. This official has already sent a signal to the outside. When the Poyang Guard sees the firework, they will naturally send reinforcements. We just need to drag the monster beasts."

Fighting the monster beasts with one's life is when there is no other choice!

Inside the iron gate.

At this moment, the panic on the students' faces was visible to the naked eye. Lin Chen swept his eyes over these students and sighed in his heart. They were all children of powerful families, hadn't experienced life-and-death battles, and suddenly facing monster beasts, it was inevitable that they would be panicked and afraid.

"With Master Xu here, the monster beasts won't be able to jump around. You all can set your hearts at ease."

Min Huanbo also saw the fear in the students' hearts and comforted them. When he swept his eyes to Lin Chen, seeing that there was no panic on Lin Chen's face, he was satisfied with Lin Chen by another point.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min, are there many monster beasts attacking this time?"

Jiang Qing suddenly spoke. Min Huanbo hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to hide it: "Not only did fish monsters appear on the shore behind the back mountain where you and Lin Chen are, but there are also many fish monsters on the other three sides of the island. However, these fish monsters are not climate-forming, and none of them are ranked. They can't cause trouble. Letting you stay here is also out of Master Xu's caution."

Hearing Min Huanbo's words, the panic of the other students dissipated a little.

That's right, the instructors are all Eighth-Rank martial artists, plus the Master, these fish monsters can't turn up any waves.

Lin Chen looked at the crowd who breathed a sigh of relief, but had a completely different view in his heart. If these fish monsters really couldn't form a climate, according to his understanding of Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min and others, they wouldn't let them hide here, but would directly order them to fight the fish monsters and use the fish monsters for actual combat training.

Fish monsters appearing here in groups, how could there be no ranked ones? I fear the ones that landed on the shore at the beginning were the vanguard, and the strong ones of the monster race were still behind.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour...

As time passed continuously, Master Xu and others still didn't have any figures coming out, and the emotions of the students inside the iron gate became uneasy again.

Min Huanbo's face no longer had the smile he had when comforting the students earlier, and his entire mind was focused outside the iron gate.

*Drip! *

Suddenly, fireworks appeared in the sky above the island again, but this time what appeared was red fireworks.

The brightness of the red fireworks reflected on everyone's faces, and a layer of shadow appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.

Whether it was his past life or this world, as long as they were humans, there were many common points. Red... not only represents heat, but in many cases, it also represents urgency and the seriousness of the situation. "Red fireworks?"

Min Huanbo's pupils constricted. As an instructor, he naturally knew what red fireworks represented, representing the occurrence of the most urgent situation.

That is to say, Master Xu and others did not occupy the upper hand in the fight with the monster race, and the situation was very critical.

Turning his head to look at the students behind him, Min Huanbo had a struggle in his heart. Master Xu and Lin Lin Shixiong Chen were at a disadvantage, and he should go out to support them. But if he left, what would happen to these students?

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min, Master Xu asked us to come here. Is it because there is some mechanism inside that can help us resist the monster beasts?"

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on Min Huanbo.

Min Huanbo was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Chen to ask this, pondered for a while and said: "There is indeed a mechanism above the iron gate."

After speaking, Min Huanbo walked to a certain place of the iron gate and pressed a groove. Two steps rose from the ground, sticking to the iron gate and going up.

"This iron gate was cast by the Martial Administration Hall with great effort, extremely difficult to break, and it is a hundred zhang high. Even a ranked monster beast can hardly jump over this height."

Min Huanbo climbed the steps, and Lin Chen followed closely. Standing at a height of a hundred zhang, Lin Chen's gaze swept across the entire island for the first time, and soon found Master Xu's figure.

Seeing this, Lin Chen took a deep breath. In his line of sight, he saw hundreds of figures separating Master Xu and others and surrounding them tightly.

Unfortunately, with his line of sight, even at a super long distance, he could only see a blur, but Min Huanbo beside him had an extremely ugly expression: "There are more than ten ranked monster beasts, and one of them is already at the Monster General level."

Monster General level monster beasts correspond to human Seventh-Rank martial artists.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min, Master Xu and others fear they can't hold on." Lin Chen didn't know what a Monster General was, but he knew one thing: being able to be surrounded meant that the overall strength of the monster race this time was not weaker than Master Xu and others.

"Rest assured, when the Poyang Guard sees the fireworks, calculating the time, they will arrive soon. Master Xu and others just need to support for a moment."

Min Huanbo turned his head to look at Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, it's handed over to you here. I'm going to help Master Xu and others solve the siege."

Although the order Master Xu gave him was to stay inside the iron gate to protect the students, now seeing Master Xu and Senior Brothers trapped, making him stay in the iron warehouse, he couldn't do it.

Lin Chen opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min.

Going out, there is a high probability of losing his life at the hands of the monster beasts.

But in the end, he couldn't say it.

"Rest assured, the iron gate is safe enough. Even without me, the monster beasts won't be able to attack. At most an hour, the Poyang Guard will arrive."

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min saw Lin Chen's hesitation, thinking Lin Chen was worried about monster beasts attacking after he left, and comforted him with a smile.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, you must pay attention to safety."

Lin Chen didn't explain what he was thinking, just said softly.

"Rest assured, this instructor hasn't killed monster beasts before. These little fish monsters can't help this instructor."

Min Huanbo smiled freely, patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, and walked down from the steps.

"This instructor is going out to help Master Xu. You all listen to Lin Chen's arrangements. If there is any disobedience, it will be treated as treason."

Once the two words "treason" came out, the expressions of all the students on the scene changed. Min Huanbo didn't care what these students thought in their hearts. With Lin Chen's strength, even if there were students who didn't listen, he could easily suppress them.

After opening the small iron gate, Min Huanbo nodded to Lin Chen, and then stepped out without any hesitation.

"Lin Chen, is the situation very critical?"

Jiang Qing looked at the closed iron gate and asked Lin Chen.

"Hmm."

Lin Chen responded, and at the same time swept his eyes over the crowd: "Junior brothers, I won't hide it from you. Master Xu and others are currently surrounded by monster beasts, and the situation is very dangerous. However, there is an iron gate blocking here, and the monster beasts can't attack. We just need to stay here and wait quietly for the Martial Administration Hall to send people to support."

"If it weren't for you beating us up, we could still help the instructors and kill the monster beasts."

A youth with a swollen face said faintly. Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. The next moment, his figure was like a stream of light, appearing in front of the youth, and he kicked without hesitation.

*Puff! *

Everyone saw the youth fly backward directly, a mouthful of blood spilled in the air, and he flew for several zhang before falling to the ground, life or death unknown.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min has already said that anyone who doesn't listen to me will be treated as treason. Even if I kill you, I don't need to pay with my life."

Lin Chen's eyes were cold, and his gaze swept over these students one by one. He knew that because these students were injured by him, there must be complaints in their hearts.

"Do you really think you can help Master Xu and others without being injured? Those who have this idea, go up the stone steps yourself and see what the situation is outside!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, a few youths were unconvinced and stepped onto the steps. However, when they stood at the top of the steps and saw the battle situation on the island, they fell silent one by one when they came down.

An overwhelming monster beast tide!

If they went out, they would be swallowed by the monster beast tide in no time.

"Going out will only drag Master Xu and others down. If you want to die, then go out. I won't stop you."

Throwing down this sentence, Lin Chen walked up the stone steps again, but this time Jiang Qing followed behind.

The two stood at the top of the steps. Lin Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw a group of monster beasts abandon Master Xu and others and rush toward this side.

But just as this group of monster beasts rushed toward this side, Lin Chen saw a brilliant blade light. This blade light cut through the sky like a meteor, slashing and extinguishing a full hundred fish monsters with one slash.

The blade light came from a figure that was surrounded.

Lin Chen couldn't see the face clearly and didn't know which lord it was, but a few breaths later, he saw the monster beast tide engulf this figure.

"This is the martial arts will condensed into a substantial battle blade, with amazing power. But below the middle-grade martial artist, to do this, one must exhaust all the Qi and blood in the body."

Jiang Qing's voice came from the side. Lin Chen didn't turn his head and blinked. He understood what Jiang Jiang Shijie Jiang meant. This lord chose the most extreme fighting method to block the monster beasts from coming toward them, choosing to perish with the monster beasts.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, we also have to prepare for battle."

A few breaths later, watching another group of monster beasts coming toward this side, Lin Chen whispered, and at the same time his right hand pulled the bow. The Dragon Shadow Bow was pulled to the extreme in his hand, and the bowstring even emitted a faint dragon roar.

If this iron gate could really completely block the monster beasts, Master Xu and others wouldn't need to be surrounded by the monster race outside and could completely retreat behind the iron gate.

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min followed Master Xu's order, and his primary task was to protect these students.

If the iron gate could hold the monster beasts, Yu Yu Jiaoxi Min would definitely not leave to solve the siege for Master Xu and others.

Ranked martial artists, how could they not have this kind of self-control!

There is only one reason that can explain it: the iron gate can only defend against the monster beasts for a while!
