Chapter 256: Young Master Qinghu!

The mist above Yaoshou Senlin became several dozen zhang thicker than usual after they entered the entrance.

The distress signal could not be transmitted at all.

Furthermore, since these students had just entered Yaoshou Senlin for the trial, the Law Enforcement Team did not believe they would call for help.

At the very least, they would have to wait a day or two, or even several days, before the students would call for help.

This was the situation in previous selections.

Even though an anomaly had occurred in Yaoshou Senlin this time, the students would surely wait at least a day before calling for help.

After all, no student would call for help immediately upon entering Yaoshou Senlin; did they not want to enter the Academy?

In a small mountain gully within Yaoshou Senlin.

A rumbling sound rang out incessantly.

The sounds of weapons clashing, screams, and roars were constant.

About seventy or eighty half-beasts, along with more than two hundred beasts with scarlet eyes, had completely surrounded over a hundred people from Changheng Academy.

The hundred-plus people here were one of the larger groups in Changheng Academy, with members composed of students from some smaller sects.

At this moment, only thirty-some people remained of the hundred-plus member team; most of the other students had been killed by the half-beasts.

"Ahhh~"

The remaining thirty people screamed hysterically, forming a circle and resisting bitterly.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!"

"We are finished, finished; the distress signal has been sent for half an hour, are the people from the Law Enforcement Team all dead?"

"We are just going to be eaten by the beasts like this; we died so unjustly!"

As they spoke, several more screams rang out; four or five people were disemboweled and devoured by the half-beasts.

The bloody scene caused these people to almost lose their will to fight.

Unable to fight and unable to run, it would be better to commit suicide.

A man in black fighting in the middle, covered in blood, roared: "Brothers, rather than being eaten like this, it would be better to commit suicide!"

"Brothers, I am sorry; it was I who organized you to huddle together for warmth, I never thought I would harm you all!"

"See you in the next life!"

He raised his hand, intending to crush his own head.

The remaining twenty-some people saw this and also smiled miserably: "That's right, being eaten alive is not as good as suicide!"

They launched a few fierce attacks, preparing to follow the lead student in committing suicide.

But just at this moment, a faint voice rang out: "If you commit suicide like this, can you face your parents and family?"

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in green robes standing in mid-air.

This person's face was like jade, with red lips and white teeth; the skin on his face and neck was as white as jade.

Although he was a man, he looked even more bewitching than a woman.

Strangely, the moment he appeared, the surrounding beasts immediately stopped their agitation, and looks of awe appeared in the eyes of these beasts one after another.

Even the seventy or eighty half-beasts quieted down, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at the man.

The man wore a warm and confident smile on his face: "Come with me, we will protect your safety."

He glanced at the half-beasts: "If you are willing to follow, I will also protect your safety."

"You will know in a moment; this time the beasts from the central area of Yaoshou Senlin will also come out, and that will be the time of your death."

"Even if you are not recognized for the time being, once the beasts from the central area come out, you will have no way out but death."

"The beasts of Yaoshou Senlin have been unified and controlled this time; exterminating all intruders is their mission."

"You have seen it too, calling for help is useless, and we cannot get out; only by uniting the forces that can be united can we have a glimmer of hope for survival."

Once these words were spoken, those half-beasts immediately knelt on one knee: "We all listen to Young Master Qinghu, willing to obey your commands!"

Young Master Qinghu wore a charming smile on his face: "Good!"

He looked again at the twenty-some people from Changheng Academy: "You have all heard it; follow me and you will have a way to live, do not follow me and you will die immediately."

"Whether you live or die depends entirely on your own decision."

Facing life and death, the man in black who was the leader immediately bowed and saluted: "I am willing to follow Young Master Qinghu!"

His thought was that since it was a dead end, if following the people from Guangmu Academy could keep him alive, of course he had to choose to live.

But one woman in a red dress said: "They are people from Guangmu Academy; before we set out, the Dean warned us that they are all enemies."

"I think this person is extremely strange; drawing us in must have some ulterior motive, it is not as simple as protecting us."

She said this firstly for the people of Changheng Academy to hear, and secondly for Young Master Qinghu to hear.

As a woman, she keenly sensed the evil, bewitching aura on Young Master Qinghu, and felt it was very abnormal.

At this moment, she even suspected that this Qinghu was not human.

It was not just her who had this thought; the others all had the same thought.

Young Master Qinghu smiled indifferently: "Do you have a choice now?"

"Follow me and live; do not follow and you will be killed immediately."

"In the face of life and death, what does it matter if you lose a few things?"

As he spoke, he kept sizing up the woman in the red dress, as well as the outstanding-looking men and women among the twenty-some people, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

Once these words were spoken, the man in black who was the leader immediately echoed: "That's right, if it weren't for Young Master Qinghu saving us, we would have already been devoured by the beasts."

"The grace of saving a life is greater than everything; do not be self-destructive!"

There was a tone of reprimand in his words.

The woman in the red dress frowned even tighter: "I dare to ask one question, are you human or a beast?"

After Young Master Qinghu was slightly taken aback, the smile on his face became even more charming: "Is that important?"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a charming arc: "I am, of course..."

He paused there, and only after ten breaths did he say: "I am, of course, a human."

One of the half-beasts let out a cold snort: "You really are tactless; Young Master Qinghu saved your life, yet you keep asking this and that—an ungrateful wretch!"

"Young Master Qinghu is the Young Master of the Qing Yuan Sect; if he isn't human, then what is he?"

As soon as these words were spoken, another half-beast said angrily: "Just kill him and be done with it; this kind of person isn't worthy of being with our team."

Young Master Qinghu was not angry at all, looking at the woman in the red dress with great interest: "Your concerns are very reasonable; if I were you, I would think the same way."

"It does no harm to tell you: I am indeed human, but I awakened the noble Green Fox bloodline of the Qing Yuan clan and luckily became the Young Master of the Qing Yuan clan."

"It is true that I am from the Guangmu Academy."

"Now that Yaoshou Senlin has undergone a strange transformation, considering the big picture, our Guangmu Academy and Changheng Academy should unite to have any hope of surviving."

"If we fight alone, how could we possibly be a match for the demonic beasts?"

"Do not hope that the Law Enforcement Team can come; in a day or two, it will be unknown whether they can even survive themselves."

"The variables in Yaoshou Senlin are clearly targeting all of us students; we should unite all the forces we can, shouldn't we?"
