Chapter 155: Biting the Hand that Feeds Them

Li Xue'er and the others tried to stay as far away from the magical vines as possible . They didn't relax until they went into a stone forest and hid there .

Then, they took out panaceas one by one and put them into their mouths, also starting to cook the monster meat that they had prepared .

They had calculated perfectly to save their energy, but then the magical vines had absorbed it all .

It would be extremely dangerous in a place as hazardous as the Realm of Beasts if they didn't recover as soon as possible .

"Apprentice sister, let me help you," Jiang Chen said to Li Xue'er when he landed beside her .

Judging from what had happened, Li Xue'er knew Jiang Chen was able to do just that .

"Okay . "

Li Xue'er had less than one-tenth of her energy left, so she stopped being reserved and extended her hand to Jiang Chen .

When he grasped her hand, he found it was very cold .

He couldn't concentrate . Back when they were intertwined by the magical vines, he hadn't had the time to think about these things, but Li Xue'er started to exert her method right away . Jiang Chen didn't dare slack off, so he also started to work .

The others were amazed by the way Jiang Chen did this and felt jealous of Li Xue'er .

Such ability was a great advantage in the Realm of Beasts .

Jiang Chen looked over to Yi Ning, who was still with Meng Qian, but they weren't talking to each other, not even making eye contact . Both were focused on recovery .

Then, Jiang Chen took out two seeds .

The so-called seed was a spiritual storage ware, similar to the mustardseed ring, but disposable . Once people took what was inside of the seed, it would disappear .

Jiang Chen didn't hurry to open it . He released his holy awareness into it to check out what was in there .

Martial arts techniques were useless to him, so he just ignored them directly .

Suddenly, he sensed something unusual . He put the seed aside and looked around .

Some clawed monsters dashed over and besieged the stone forest .

They were chalicotherioideas!

Their heads and bodies looked like donkeys, but they had sharp claws and could run very fast, as they were general-level monsters!

To most of the people there, monsters of this level weren't worth mentioning at all, but all of them paled .

This was because there were hundreds of these monsters crowding the forest, while most of them had only just taken panaceas and monster meat, yet still had less than one-tenth of their energy left .

These monsters were quick to attack . They didn't hesitate to jump on the people there .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three Thick Ice Flying Swords dashed over . The ten-odd monsters that were running ahead died immediately .

"Jiang Chen, attack!"

Li Xue'er stood up right away and dashed towards the monsters . The thick ice was flying about, freezing the air there .

The monsters close to her turned into frozen statues and shattered into pieces . Those far away from her were hit by blocks of thick ice . Their bodies were cut into pieces, and even a few heads were cut off .

"Hmmm…"

Jiang Chen was worried when he saw Li Xue'er putting in so much effort . In that short time, she hadn't recovered enough . The three flying swords were also protecting the others .

"Stay close together so that the flying swords can guard a smaller area!"

Seeing these weak people who couldn't fight back for the moment, Jiang Chen hurried to shout out loud, feeling a bit angry . Then, he dashed to the monsters nearby, holding his sword .

We don't have to kill them all . Just show them we're powerful and scare them off…

While Jiang Chen was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a painful scream . A monster was trying to bite one woman's arm off .

Fortunately, before the monster could rip it off, its head was cut off by a flying sword .

These people stuck very close to each other, but the monster had broken the defense of the flying swords .

Jiang Chen immediately looked over to Li Xue'er . She still looked strong, but the freezing air was already less freezing .

Luckily, they'd killed more than half of the attacking monsters . The ones left knew they had come across tough people and started to retreat .

Jiang Chen ran to Li Xue'er . He saw the waist of her white robe had been smeared with blood .

"Apprentice sister, are you wounded?" Jiang Chen was sad for her . He tried to support her with his hand to help her walk, but she pushed him away resolutely and walked back into the crowd by herself .

"What's wrong with you? Did you do that intentionally? Sister Tender is injured! You won't be able to afford it if her life is in danger because of you!" a youngster dashed to Li Xue'er and accused her angrily .

The Sister Tender he was talking about was the girl whose arm had almost been bitten off .

"As powerful as you are, how could you let that monster break the defense and get in here? What do we need you for?!" he shouted emotionally .

Jiang Chen was irritated . He was as mad as a wet hen . His apprentice sister had put her life at risk to protect these people, but they accused her instead of being grateful .

"Scram!"

Jiang Chen ran over and knocked that guy down to the ground . The guy was a Mental Wander State, but he had exhausted his energy, too fragile to fight back .

"I'll kill you if you say one more word!"

Jiang Chen pressed the Redcloud Sword against his neck before he could get to his feet .

"Xuan!" the wounded girl shrieked and dashed over to Jiang Chen immediately . She gave him an angry stare and said, "How dare you! What are the two of you up to?!"

"You'll see whether I dare or not!"

Jiang Chen pushed his sword forward right away, but a sucking force suddenly stopped his blade and he couldn't push it even a centimeter further .

"Jiang Chen . "

"Apprentice sister . "

"Let him go . " Li Xue'er shook her head at him . She looked neither sad nor happy, as if it she was removed from the events .

"We saved this b*stard at least twice . He didn't say any thanks, but blamed you!" Jiang Chen said angrily .

By then, Xuan and his Sister Tender had been taken aside by others .

"Disciples of the Natural Law School, we really appreciate your help . Our team is formed by people from all regions . These two ungrateful people have nothing to do with us . "

"Exactly . Li Xue'er saved us . We'll remember her good deed forever . "

The others soon started to pay gratitude to them .

"That sounds more human . "

Jiang Chen curled his lip and went back to Li Xue'er . He wanted to treat her injury, but she didn't want him to .

Jiang Chen saw the injury wasn't very severe, so he didn't insist . He took out some panaceas for injury treatment and handed them to her .

At this moment, two people were walking towards Jiang Chen . They were Yi Ning and Meng Qian .

Meng Qian looked emotionless, staring at him coldly .

Jiang Chen realized she had bad intentions and immediately walked towards them so that they couldn't do any harm to Li Xue'er . If anything unexpected or bad happened, he could fly into the sky with her right away .

"What are you up to? Want to claw my eyes out?" Jiang Chen asked them first so that he could control the situation .

"That's already done . You saved me and took the golden seed . We don't owe each other . As for what happened just now, I'll just regard it as compensation for the fact that you saw my naked body . "

Meng Qian went on, "Now, I want to ask you for a spiritual herb; the one you received just now, the blood dragon wood!"

"Why should I give it to you?" Jiang Chen found her request unreasonable .

"The Intelligence Pavilion found its existence a long time ago . We didn't collect it because it wasn't ripe enough . Now that you took it away, doesn't it make sense that you should give it back to us?" said Meng Qian .

"Why don't you just tell me I should give it back to you because it's your destiny?" Jiang Chen said sarcastically .

"Will you give it to me or not?!" Meng Qian said coldly .

The other people realized another disturbance had started .

Li Xue'er was injured and had exhausted her energy . Yi Ning and Meng Qian took their chance . Jiang Chen was only in the beginning of the preliminary stage . He wouldn't be able to confront the two of them .

"You just said you appreciated our help . Aren't you going to say something?" Jiang Chen suddenly glanced at those people and said to them .

They looked at each other and didn't know what to do . Meng Qian's excuse didn't make sense . They knew this, but she was too powerful .

Besides Li Xue'er, there was only one other person in the late stage of the Mental Wander State and that was Yi Ning, who was next to Meng Qian .
