Chapter 141 [Survive!] (6800)

Chen Yan was stunned by the words of this man named Du Li, which left him speechless and in a state of shock.

As Du Li watched Chen Yan remain silent, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a roar from behind him.

"Damn slave, slacking off!"

Both of them were startled. Chen Yan looked over and saw a tall, burly monster emerging from the woods behind Du Li's work area.

He strode towards them, carrying a long whip in his hand, roaring angrily.

Du Li's expression changed immediately. He quickly turned around and was about to say something when the monster rushed in front of him and kicked him.

Du Li's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly took a quick step, turning his body at a precise angle, managing to brush past the monster's feet.

The monster's kick missed its target, and Du Li retreated rapidly, repeatedly saying, "I've already cut down all my trees..."

Swish!
Du Li's answer was a whip!
Seeing the whip hurtling towards him, Du Li was helpless, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He retreated quickly to dodge, but he had lost his magic power. Although he retreated quickly, the monster's whip was even faster.

With a snap, Du Li was sent flying. When he landed on the ground, there was a bloody welt on his face, and the whip marks ran from his face to his chest. Even his fur coat was torn open.

His face was already torn and bleeding!

Du Li screamed in agony, clenched his fists, and roared, "Die!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, he sprang to his feet, somersaulted to the pile of felled trees beside him, grabbed a tree trunk with both hands, and charged at the monster.

The monster let out a maniacal laugh, and just as a tree trunk was about to crash into it, it simply took a step forward and grabbed the trunk with one hand!
The monster's fingers were thick and long, with four bent knuckles that gripped the tree trunk firmly, and with a forceful pull, they dug in.

Du Li roared, but no matter how hard he tried, the tree trunk could not be pushed forward an inch.

The monster laughed, grabbed the tree trunk with one hand and twisted it forcefully, flipping Du Li over. Then it took a step forward, raised its whip from above, and lashed out at Du Li's body!

After a few lashes, Du Li was rolling on the ground, but he seemed quite tough. His clothes were torn and blood was flowing from his wounds, but he just rolled around with his hands covering his head, refusing to let out a scream.

After lashing out a few times with its whip, the monster let out a fierce snort, then turned to look at Chen Yan: "And you too!"

Chen Yan's eyes widened, and he began to back away.

"Speak to my slave! Let him slack off!"

The monster's eyes were fixed on Du Li, its gaze fierce, yet also carrying a hint of mockery.

Chen Yan instantly understood that it just wanted to bully him and have some fun!
The monster lashed out with its whip, but Chen Yan had already retreated quickly before the whip could even be raised.

With a snap, the whip fell, but Chen Yan had already quickly retreated behind a tree.

The whip struck the tree, instantly shattering the bark and sending it flying everywhere.

This strange tree is indeed sturdy; although its bark is cracked, its trunk remains completely still.

However, Chen Yan's expression had already changed.

The whip struck, sending a gust of wind through his face, causing him to feel a slight pain.

Moreover, how sturdy is this strange tree? When I first swung my axe, I only managed to cut through the bark.

The monster's whip actually shattered the tree bark!

If that whip were to fall on me, I would be seriously injured even if I didn't die!
It... wants my life?!
Swish!
The second whip came down, and Chen Yan retreated again!

He had just witnessed how Du Li was beaten. Du Li's movements were quite good, and he clearly had a set of skillful footwork, but he was beaten by this monster to the point that he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Chen Yan wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them head-on.

He could only retreat, using the strange trees in the woods as obstacles to avoid them.

After dodging three or five lashes, the monster was getting closer and closer, its eyes gleaming with a ferocious light as it stared at Chen Yan with a savage grin.

Chen Yan was anxious and looked around.

A number of human slaves had already come over to look, and some other monsters also ran over from a distance, all of them with mocking expressions, watching the spectacle from a distance. Some of the monsters even let out strange howls, seemingly making a fuss.

Finally, a sharp, angry shout came from among the monsters, and a thin figure forcefully pushed through the crowd and rushed in from the outside.

The female monster pushed off the ground with her long legs, running and leaping rapidly. With a powerful leap, she landed between Chen Yan and the monster.

She spread her arms wide, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, blocking Chen Yan's way, her face contorted with intimidation and defiance, baring her teeth at the burly monster wielding the whip.

She was shorter than the others in stature, yet she roared fiercely, refusing to back down an inch.

The whip-wielding monster seemed to pause for a moment, but only for a moment, before it grinned maliciously and laughed loudly at the female monster.

"You little bug, do you want to die?"

The giant monster laughed maniacally, and swung its whip twice, making a cracking sound.

Standing behind the female monster, Chen Yan suddenly realized something he had overlooked in his haste.

I……

I can understand what it's saying now?!
The monster was clearly speaking its own language, with short, strange syllables and peculiar pronunciation.

But now, I can actually understand it?
·
"ha!!!!"

The female monster opened her mouth, bared her teeth at the giant monster, and made a threatening sound like a feline when in danger.

Then she slowly retreated, coldly saying, "My slave! My property! Mine!! You are not allowed to kill my slave!"

The giant monster stared at the female monster for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Your slave? He's a piece of trash! Look at him, he's too skinny, skinny than any of the other savages!"

You worm, you can't even feed yourself, yet you want to keep slaves? You might as well just kill them!

The female monster roared, "My slave! Slave, help me cut down trees! Mine! Don't kill me!"

"Hahaha! Slaves of insects are even more useless than insects!"

Upon hearing this, the female monster flew into a rage. Her gray-black face suddenly flushed red, and veins bulged on her forehead.

The female monster bared her teeth, drew a short knife from her waist, and glared at the giant monster: "I'm not, an insect! Not! An insect!"

"You're a bug. A skinny bug! A bug that can't go to war! Your Muda, your Enbo, are all bugs!"

The giant monster sneered, staring at the short knife in the female monster's hand: "So even insects can draw their blades? You want to defy me?"

"..." The female monster trembled all over.

Suddenly, she screamed and leaped up from the ground, lunging at the giant monster!

The giant monster raised its whip and swung it, but the female monster dodged it with agility in mid-air, then fell in front of the giant monster, rolled on the ground, and rolled right to the giant monster's feet!
The giant monster raised its leg and kicked, but the female monster didn't dodge. She let the kick land on her shoulder, causing her to cough up blood. But as if possessed, she endured the kick, her short knife plunging deep into the giant monster's leg!
The giant monster groaned in pain, grabbed the female monster's wrist holding the knife, and then bent its knee and slammed it into the female monster's chest.

The female monster was sent flying, but she never let go of the knife in her hand. As she flew, the knife was pulled out of the giant monster's thigh.

The giant monster let out a painful cry and staggered.

Before he could regain his footing, the female monster had already gotten up from the ground again, using both hands and feet, just like a wild beast, and pounced on the giant monster once more.

She wrapped her legs around the giant monster's waist and, gripping the knife, stabbed it viciously into the monster's neck.

The giant monster's thick arm protected its neck, and the female monster plunged her knife into its upper arm! She didn't stop there; she stabbed in, then immediately pulled out, then frantically stabbed again, then pulled out again…

This guy was very agile. The giant monster protected its neck, and the female monster took the opportunity to stab it three times in the arm. Then, with its other hand, it grabbed the female monster's foot, pulled it off its body, ripped it off, and then slammed it to the ground!
boom! !

The female monster was jolted after being hit.

boom!
It swung up and hit me a second time.

This time, the female monster finally lost her grip on the knife, which fell to the ground, and her body was thrown off balance.

The giant monster was enraged. It grabbed her by one foot, swung her up again, and was about to slam her to the ground...

boom! !

A tree trunk slammed into the monster's waist from behind!
Caught off guard, the giant monster staggered forward, his grip loosened, and he dropped the female monster to the ground.

The giant monster turned around and saw Chen Yan standing behind it, hugging a tree trunk.

Chen Yan stared at the giant monster in front of him, feeling helpless.

Damn! This guy's tough!
With such a thick tree trunk, he hugged it and rammed into it with all his might, and he only staggered a little?
In terms of physical fitness and strength, within my own world, I am already a being that surpasses humanity.

Chen Yan was actually forced to take action.

Because he understood the situation he was in.

The only one who would protect him is this female monster!

If the female monster is killed or seriously injured, then she will be the next to die!
Once the female monster dies, the other party can crush her to death, which is no more difficult than crushing an ant.

So no matter what, he had to fight back with all his might and absolutely could not let the female monster be killed!
Enraged by Chen Yan's sneak attack, the giant monster turned around and stared at Chen Yan, but this time its eyes no longer held the cruel, mocking look.

Instead, it was an undisguised killing intent.

Chen Yan released the tree trunk and slowly backed away, his mind racing with calculations.

The only option was to escape...

But there were monsters all around, watching from the sidelines, leaving no room to escape.

Having lost all his magic and spells, he was unable to wield even a trace of vital energy and could only rely on the pure strength of his physical body...

Just when Chen Yan couldn't think of a solution, his eyes suddenly lit up!
A few short gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd of onlookers.

Behind the giant monster, the female monster on the ground had somehow gotten up. Her figure was like a hunting leopard. She crouched down and crawled stealthily on the ground before suddenly pounced!

She leaped up and jumped onto the giant monster's head from behind, wrapping her legs around its neck and riding on its neck!

At the same time, a gleaming knife was already pressed hard against the giant monster's throat!
The female monster, her face covered in blood, gasped for breath: "My slave! My property! Don't kill her!!"

She paused, then her voice, hoarse yet filled with angry growls, cried out, "I'm not a bug!!"

The giant monster's body stiffened; a knife was pressed hard against its throat, its skin was cut open, and blood was flowing out.

His face was full of anger, but he refused to give in. He took a deep breath and was about to roar and fight to the death.

"Stop it, all of you!!"

An angry voice came from behind the horde of monsters.

A monster nearly three meters tall slowly parted the crowd and walked over.

This guy was the tallest of all the monsters present.

But he was neither burly nor bulky—nor thin either.

He was tall and well-proportioned, with muscles attached to his bones, exuding an explosive sense of power.

The monster wasn't wearing a fur coat, but rather a leather breastplate and a cloak-like garment.

As he walked out of the monster horde carrying a long hammer, the monsters on both sides immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, and stepped back to make way for him.

This monster was clearly of extraordinary status. It walked up to her and coldly looked at the female monster riding on the head of the giant monster.

“Wooden Bowl! Release Blackstone! Blackstone is a good overseer. You shouldn’t lay a hand on the overseer; it breaks the rules.” The female monster gritted her teeth, her face covered in blood, but she wouldn’t loosen her grip on the knife: “He’s trying to kill my slave! Slaves are private property! Even an overseer can’t kill my private property; that’s the rule!”

After a pause, the female monster shook her head: "You are the leader, you must be fair!"

The leader monster paused for a moment, then nodded: "Fine, you want fairness. I am the leader, and I should give you fairness!"

Under his imposing gaze, the surrounding monsters all retreated once again.

The chief looked at the overseer: "Blackstone, why did you hit this slave?"

"They're not working, they're just talking!"

The leader monster no longer looked at the female monster and the overseer she was riding.

He walked toward Du Li, who was lying on the ground after being beaten.

"Slave! Have you finished cutting down all the trees for today?"

Du Li struggled, spitting out blood, and breathed a sigh of relief before replying in a low voice, "All cut down, twenty trees."

"Okay, you're alright."

The chieftain approached Chen Yan: "Slave, have you finished cutting down all the trees for today?"

"..." Chen Yan forced himself to suppress his anger and endure the term "slave" and slowly said, "I haven't finished cutting them all. I've completed nine trees, but... the day isn't over yet."

“He didn’t finish his work, so he deserves to be beaten.” The leader nodded, pointed at Chen Yan, and coldly said to the overseer and the female monster, “Hitting him is perfectly justified!”

Then, pointing at Du Li, he said, "Hitting him was wrong!"

Finally, he pointed at the female monster and the overseer: "You fought each other and got hurt, so it's even!"
Blackstone, you do not cherish your slaves and damage private property. You deserve to be punished! Lock him up and don't let him eat for a day.

Wooden Bowl, you are right to defend your private property. But your slave, who slacked off and talked while working, is wrong! Kill him!

Chen Yan's heart sank suddenly.

The female monster named Wooden Bowl immediately retorted, "No way! He's my private property!! I won't kill him!! He can chop down trees and do other work!"

“He’s too thin and works too slowly. Kill him, and I’ll give you two slaves in return,” the chief said coldly.

The wooden bowl paused for a moment, as if after some thought, then shook its head; "No! My slave is excellent! I captured him myself! Besides, he eats very little!"

The leader didn't argue with her and immediately said, "If you don't kill him, then punish him with ten lashes! That's punishment for slacking off and talking."

After saying that, he pointed at the wooden bowl: "You whip yourself! Every lash must draw blood!"

The wooden bowl remained silent this time.

Chen Yan swallowed hard, cursing countless times in his mind, but remained silent.

Situation is stronger than people!
He sensed the authority of the monstrous leader and knew that he had no room for resistance, nor even any choice.

No, to be precise, there are only two choices.

Either you get whipped, or... no matter how you argue, run away, or resist... there's only one outcome: death.

"Was my decision fair?" The leader monster looked at the wooden bowl, then at the overseer Black Stone, and finally at the monsters around him.

No one spoke, and even the wooden bowl jumped off the black stone's neck.

"I...I have other things to do!"

Mu Wan gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Hei Shi: "Hei Shi said I'm a bug! My Mu Da, my En Bo, are all bugs!"

Holding a knife, Mu Wan roared, "My Mu Da, my Enbo, they all died on the battlefield! They were brave! Not insects!"

As she spoke, she pointed her blade at the Blackstone Overseer: "I've never been on the battlefield because I'm young! It's not because I'm cowardly! And I'm not an insect!"
He! Blackstone! He's an adult! He's strong! He's never been to a battlefield, he's too afraid to go! He's the real insect!!

Upon hearing this, the Blackstone overseer roared in fury, "I'm not a bug! I..."

"Shut up!!" the leader monster roared.

Both monsters immediately took a step back.

"Blackstone Overseer, you misspoke. You'll be locked up for another day, and you won't be allowed to eat!"

The leader monster made a decision immediately, coldly saying, "All those who died in battle were warriors! Blackstone, if you say such things again, I'll cut off your head!"

As he spoke, he sneered and stared at Black Stone with a fierce look: "Wooden Bowl is right, you're an adult now, and you're very strong! You shouldn't be here bullying the tribe for your own amusement!"

Next time you go to the battlefield, you'll be first in line!

The Blackstone overseer snorted angrily, glared fiercely at the wooden bowl, but dared not utter another word.

"Alright! That's it! This matter is over!"

The Blackstone overseer's fierce eyes darted around, and he walked over and forcefully shoved his whip into the wooden bowl's hand.

"Your slave, you may beat him! Every lash must draw blood! This is the chief's decision!"

The wooden bowl emitted a low, threatening growl, like that of a wild beast, but it still took the whip.

Chen Yan: "…………"

It's my "master," and since it hit me with its own hands, it should go easy on me, right?
However, when a monster walked over, grabbed Chen Yan, pinned him to the ground, and tore off his fur coat...

Snapped!
The first lash was enough to knock Chen Yan unconscious from the pain!

Before he fainted, Chen Yan had only one thought in his mind.

Seriously? You're really going all out?! Are you that ruthless?!
·
Chen Yan was awakened by the pain.

Upon waking up, his first reaction was: I wish I had never woken up!
It really hurts!
When he woke up, he was lying on a pile of branches inside the wooden house.

His upper body was bare, and his back was burning with a piercing pain.

Moreover, he could smell a very strong odor of blood—it was his own blood.

The pain, mixed with waves of weakness, made Chen Yan feel weak all over, unable to muster any strength.

Although he had practiced Buddhism, he had also experienced hardships and minor injuries in the countryside when he was young.

But this was truly the first time he had ever been injured so severely!
Chen Yan's head was still spinning, but he could still make out that the female monster, Mu Wan, was sitting to the side in the wooden house.

She had a long, large hand holding a brush, and next to her was a large bowl containing what appeared to be a dark, viscous substance.

The female monster was using a brush to apply a black paste to her back.

Chen Yan could roughly tell that the other party was probably trying to treat him.

but……

I don't know what this black, gooey stuff is. It was fine if I didn't brush it off, but once I swished it on, the pain seemed to increase several times over!
"Fuck!"

Chen Yan couldn't help but roar, his whole body tensing up in pain. It took a long time for the peak of the pain to pass before he could catch his breath. But before he could react, the female monster had already applied another layer...

"Oh shit!!"

Chen Yan growled again.

This time, he fainted again.

·
When Chen Yan woke up again, he was alone in the wooden house.

He was still lying there, but the female monster had vanished.

The room was still chilly, but at least there was no noticeable wind.

Chen Yan was shirtless, and his body was numb from the cold again. He struggled shiveringly, but the slightest movement caused excruciating pain in his back.

Besides the smell of blood, there was another strange smell in the room, probably the smell of medicine, but to Chen Yan it smelled more like burnt porridge.

He saw a dark bowl on the ground next to the pile of branches, with a piece of ice inside.

Hmm, Chen Yan understood after just one glance...

This must have been a bowl of water the female monster had left for herself, but it froze because of the cold weather.

Chen Yan felt he couldn't lie there like that anymore; if he continued like this, he would either die from the pain or freeze to death.

He saw his own fur coat, which had been stripped off, lying in the corner.

Chen Yan shakily tumbled down from the pile of branches. The movement almost made him faint from the pain again, but he gritted his teeth and, trembling all over, slowly crawled to the corner of the wall. He picked up the fur coat and then used almost all his strength to barely put it on.

Chen Yan also reached out and took the bowl of ice.

It didn't matter that the water had frozen. Chen Yan knew he needed to replenish his fluids. He forcefully pried out the ice, brought it to his mouth, bit off a small piece with his teeth, held it in his mouth, and used the warmth of his mouth to melt the ice into water before swallowing it little by little.

After completing these movements, Chen Yan felt that he had exhausted his strength.

He didn't know if he would survive.

Finally, just as Chen Yan felt his body getting colder and colder...

The door to the wooden cabin was pushed open.

The female monster, Mu Wan, walked in. She looked at Chen Yan, seemingly sizing him up.

Then she sighed helplessly, grabbed an axe that was lying behind the door, turned around and walked out.

Chen Yan understood; the female monster sighed because…

Since she was injured and unable to work, she had to go and cut down trees herself.

Chen Yan took a breath, his anger growing stronger.

However, a moment later, the door was pushed open again.

The female monster returned, walked in, squatted down next to Chen Yan, and placed a piece of black dough in the bowl.

"Your food. Get well soon so you can help me with the chores."

After the wooden bowl was removed, Chen Yan lay on the ground and looked at the piece of black dough in the bowl.

This time, he did not resist. Instead, he reached out his hand. The nauseating sour smell was still pungent. Chen Yan's eyes were cold, but he tore off a piece and slowly put it into his mouth.

He used his teeth to slowly chew and break up the dough that had become somewhat hard from the cold, then softened it little by little with his saliva before finally swallowing it.

You have to survive!

Live!
·
Chen Yan forced himself to eat the entire large lump of dough without wasting a single bite. Then he continued to curl up on the ground, trying to minimize his body's contact with the air, which was supposedly to slow down the loss of body heat.

In the darkness, Chen Yan suddenly remembered Gu Qingyi's words.

"The Realm... it really isn't a good place."

Muttering to himself, Chen Yan bit into a small piece of ice and waited quietly for it to melt before finally drinking it down.

I want to live!
Then, they all have to die!
Yes, except for this one called Wooden Bowl, all these monsters must die!

Slaves? Slave your ass!
For the first time in his life, Chen Yan felt a feeling called "hatred".
