Chapter 262: The Field Chicken

After all, once a plea for help is answered with rescue, one can no longer re-enter, and the final grade will certainly be very poor.

They also knew that the power of the Seven Star Immortal-Trapping Array's attacks was also immense.

They were only waiting to activate it at the final moment.

But they never expected Gong Mochen to say it could not be converted, which was equivalent to a blow to the head: "You cannot get out; there is only one path left, and that is to wait for death!"

The last glimmer of hope for escape had been snuffed out; what were they to do!

The overflowing passion and the grand ambition to hunt down countless beasts were, at this moment, shrouded in fear and despair in their hearts.

Their fighting spirit immediately plummeted, and their faces turned pale, filled with terror.

Some disciples with poor mental fortitude began to tremble involuntarily.

"Ah? What should we do?"

"Why is it like this? Are we going to die here?"

"It's over, it's over. The changes in the Yaoshou Senlin are even more complex than we imagined. This is clearly someone trying to wipe us all out!"

"It's over, it's over. If we go on like this, we are just waiting for death. We must think of a way quickly, the sooner the better!"

Opinions varied, and most were filled with pessimistic and disappointed emotions.

Moreover, this emotion spread rapidly, affecting others and causing everyone's fighting spirit to drop again and again.

Gong Mochen sighed softly: "The Seven Star Trapping Array can move. We should fight while retreating and hold on a bit longer until we reach a place with mountains."

"The Law Enforcement Team will likely discover the situation here soon, and they will certainly find a way to save us."

Although he had worse thoughts in his heart, it was not the time to speak them aloud.

But even if he didn't say it, those present were not fools, and someone spoke up: "This is clearly a trap set for us. They must have accounted for us having the Law Enforcement Team and the higher-ups of the Academy."

Someone chimed in: "That must be it. They intend to completely annihilate us and surely have measures against the Law Enforcement Team and the Dean and the others. Our current situation is extremely dangerous."

"We cannot send out a distress signal, and the Seven Star Array cannot be converted into an attack array; these were all intentionally sealed by them."

Someone said miserably: "Indeed!"

"We are now like turtles in a jar; struggling bitterly is nothing more than waiting for death."

"There is no time to lose. Let us fight while retreating. Once we reach a place with mountains, we might be able to find a cave dwelling and hide inside."

"There are some dangerous areas in this forest as well; we might as well take a risk, as it could still grant us a glimmer of survival."

A cultivator from the Huanhe Heaven Sect spoke up: "That's right. A senior of mine told me there is a dangerous area not too far from here where ordinary beasts dare not approach. There is no time to lose; let us act quickly."

Upon hearing this, Gong Mochen nodded: "The only plan now is to seek life through death."

"This fellow Daoist, what is your name?"

The person from the Huanhe Heaven Sect smiled slightly: "I am Tian Yuanji. Keep walking in this direction, and after passing a swamp, you will reach that place."

"There is another path, which is to go around the swamp, but that would consume quite a bit of time. How we proceed depends on Brother Gong's choice."

Gong Mochen looked bitter: "We need to be as fast as possible. What does everyone think?"

Once the two had made a decision, the crowd spoke up one after another: "Delay leads to changes; let us act now."

Gong Mochen nodded: "Good!"

"However, I must remind everyone of one thing: we are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. We must not harbor other intentions; cooperation to escape is the key."

"Therefore, no one should have a divided heart; we must work together!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Daxiong immediately echoed: "That's right!"

"If anyone has a divided heart, we shall join forces to execute them!"

Tian Yuanji also said sternly: "Whoever has a divided heart, we will surely join forces to execute them!"

"Follow me!"

Tian Shiguang and Tian Daguang of the Huanhe Heaven Sect were dead, and the Sixth Young Master was also dead; he, an inconspicuous person, had become the leader.

It was not that others didn't know; he was the outstanding one among them and naturally became the leader this time.

He was actually a hidden piece of the Sect Master Tian Guilong, with strength greater than both Tian Shiguang and Tian Daguang, only he was good at hiding it.

Before entering the Yaoshou Senlin, he had communicated with Tian Guilong, who had instructed him to keep a low profile and not to clash head-on with anyone, including the arch-rival Lu Tianyu.

How could he not understand the logic behind that?

Developing stealthily had always been his principle.

Just like that, Tian Yuanji led the way in front, while Gong Mochen and the seven people from the Seven Star Sect controlled the array to retreat in an orderly fashion, with everyone walking closely within the array.

At this moment, they were united as never before.

Roar, roar, roar~

Seeing that the group was about to retreat, the beast horde attacked even more fiercely.

Countless beasts with scarlet eyes charged madly at the array from all directions.

The movement of the array already consumed Spirit Stones, and coupled with the beasts' frantic charging, the rate of Spirit Stone consumption doubled.

Gong Mochen's face turned a few shades paler: "Everyone, the Spirit Stone consumption rate is too fast."

"I ask that you all join forces to kill the enemy and carve out a bloody path!"

Tian Yuanji immediately echoed: "Yes, everyone, let's charge and kill together!"

"Once we reach the swamp, our pressure will be reduced significantly."

"The swamp has many pits and unknown dangers, which will also hinder the beasts' attacks. Everyone, keep it up!"

"Kill!"

A dozen people immediately rushed out, killed a few beasts, and immediately retreated back.

Being cautious, there were no casualties.

The morale of the crowd rose a notch, and they were eager to try.

But beasts are mindless; those orcs are not mindless.

As another dozen or so people rushed out, they were immediately subjected to their sneak attacks.

Piercing screams rang out, and amidst the spraying blood, seven or eight people were torn apart alive by the half-beasts and devoured mouthful by mouthful.

Even though they had just witnessed such a scene, at this moment, every one of them had their hair standing on end, and they all retracted their sharp edges.

Only at this moment did they realize that the mortality rate for charging out to kill the enemy was very high, reaching more than half.

Seeing this, Tian Yuanji coldly rebuked: "Change direction, look for places with fewer demonic beasts to attack, strike once and then retreat, use your strongest moves."

Although the crowd felt a Heart Movement, they were still afraid.

Tian Yuanji let out a cold snort, and just as he was about to take out the Silver Corpse, he suddenly looked to one side.

Roar, roar, roar~

Bursts of roaring sounds came from the side.

The crowd looked over in unison, only to see streaks of light flying in front, followed by countless demonic beasts running wildly behind.

The direction was exactly toward them.

"Hahaha!"

Xiang Daxiong laughed heartily, "That kid is being chased even more miserably than a stray dog, only caring about running away."

"Everyone pay attention, our arch-nemesis Lu Tianyu is coming over, let's refuse them entry into the formation and let them die outside!"

Gong Mochen was slightly stunned at first, then laughed loudly: "That's right, we refuse to let them join, unless they kneel down and kowtow to us, and hand over all their Storage Rings!"

Seeing the disheveled state of Lu Tianyu and the others, he felt inexplicably very happy.
