Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 11: Preparing to Go Back, I Ran into an Acquaintance

Inside a secluded abandoned house, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, his palms facing the sky, cultivating.

Cultivating after a major battle allows for a better improvement in one's strength, yielding twice the results with half the effort compared to regular cultivation.

Cosmic energy surged into Jiang Chen's body, causing a fundamental transformation in his cells and genes, making his physique stronger and his mental power more profound.

After a long while, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, stood up, and threw a punch forward.

A crisp explosion resounded through the air, its power even greater than before.

"It's time to go back."

This trip into the wilderness not only elevated my movement skills to a perfect level.

Even the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade has been cultivated to the fifth level, and there was also the unexpected gain of the Four-Winged Black Tiger.

The trip was a complete success. Jiang Chen planned to go back and rest before participating in the elite training camp assessment.

Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard a series of roars from afar.

He frowned, picked up his binoculars, and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the sound.

In the distance, a large number of monsters gathered together, numbering in the thousands, led by a low-level lord-class monster, the Twin-Horned Iron Rhinoceros.

Led by the Twin-Horned Iron Rhinoceros, these monsters were frantically chasing three human warriors, heading straight for this location.

When Jiang Chen saw the faces of the three martial artists, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Liu Cong, Du Chen, and Bai Jue are actually the three of them."

Through the telescope, the three warriors who were once at the level of war gods now seemed to be severely injured. Faced with the pursuit of the two-horned iron rhinoceros and a large number of monsters, they were powerless to resist and could only flee in a sorry state.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen stepped on two flying knives and broke through the window to help the three.

"Damn it! If I were in my prime, I could have cleaved this two-horned iron rhinoceros in two with a single strike. I wouldn't have been chased so desperately by him."

Du Chen ran away while cursing.

"This trip has been really unlucky. Not only did we fail to kill that black tiger, we were also chased by a monster. It seems like we're in deep trouble this time."

Liu Cong was also panting heavily, and his wounds, which had just healed, gradually reopened as he ran.

"Even if I kill that four-winged black tiger, I will still lose out in the end. My severed arm needs a dose of the Water of Life to be restored, and the Water of Life costs 30 billion. Even selling that four-winged black tiger might not be enough to cover the cost."

Du Chen looked at his severed arm, then at the ever-increasing number of monsters behind him, his mood becoming extremely gloomy.

"Don't worry, Brother Du. Since I asked you to come out and help, I will buy this Water of Life for you, and the same goes for Brother Bai Jue."

Liu Cong sighed with guilt.

They originally thought that the three of them would be able to easily defeat a four-winged black tiger that was a high-ranking lord, but they never expected that in the end, they would both be injured.

They had originally planned to rest for a while and wait for their injuries to heal before chasing the four-winged black tiger, but they happened to encounter this two-horned iron rhinoceros.

Unlike the four-winged black tiger, the two-horned iron rhinoceros is not a lone wolf, but is protected by a herd of beasts.

Given their current severely injured state, they will eventually be worn down and killed by so many monsters.

Therefore, the three of them had no choice but to run away.

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought a few more war gods with me.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's think of a way to survive under this two-horned iron rhinoceros first."

Bai Jue said weakly.

He was a mentalist, but his physical strength was the weakest. During the battle with the four-winged black tiger, both of his legs were bitten off, and he was the most seriously injured.

His physical injuries also affected his mental and spiritual abilities.

Even now, he finds it incredibly difficult to fly with his injured body using only his mental power; he feels dizzy and can barely keep going.

As time went on, his mental strength weakened, and his body swayed in the air.

Now that his legs are broken, without the help of his mental power, he will probably really perish in the mouth of the monster behind him.

"Brother Bai Jue, let me carry you on my back."

Although Du Chen had lost an arm, his injury was better than the other two, so he planned to carry Bai Jue and escape together.

"Three seniors, what happened to you all?"

Just then, a figure riding on throwing knives descended from the sky.

Liu Cong and the other two looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person was Jiang Chen, whom they had met on the train.

"Jiang Chen, I never expected to run into you here."

Liu Cong and the other two were also somewhat surprised.

"This is not the place to talk. I'd better take the three seniors away first."

Seeing the monster closing in behind him and then looking at Liu Cong and the other two in their badly injured state, Jiang Chen used his mental powers to manipulate the combat suits on them, causing them to take flight and leave the area.

With Jiang Chen's current advanced warrior-level mental power, he is capable of lifting objects weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

The three of them, including Liu Cong, weighed no more than 500 jin (250 kg) in total, so carrying them away did not affect Jiang Chen's speed at all.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Jiang Chen, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger."

Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the beasts gradually recede into the distance behind him.

At this moment, he was very grateful that he had spoken to Jiang Chen on the train, which allowed him to meet him and receive Jiang Chen's help.

Otherwise, we might really be doomed here.

It was just a small favor.

Jiang Chen shook his head, not caring.

"Your small act of kindness could save our lives. We are deeply grateful and will not thank you in words. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."

Du Chen said very seriously.

"Me too," Bai Jue echoed weakly.

"You flatter me, seniors."

Jiang Chen simply smiled slightly and asked what had happened to them that led to their current situation.

"My Thunder Martial Arts School has received news that in this city 009, a four-winged black tiger is about to evolve into a king-level monster."

"If that's really the case, then it will probably become another major threat to us humans. So I invited Brother Du and Brother Bai Jue to come to this city 009, hoping to kill that four-winged black tiger."

Liu Cong sighed and shook his head: "But I didn't expect that the four-winged black tiger to be so much stronger than I imagined. The three of us couldn't do anything to it. Instead, we were all injured, and it managed to escape in the end."

Upon hearing Liu Cong explain the whole story, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

What a coincidence! He happened to encounter that four-winged black tiger, which became a victim of his blade.

These days, the most valuable parts are all in the backpack.

However, he remained outwardly calm and showed no intention of revealing the final whereabouts of the Four-Winged Black Tiger.

Instead, I chatted with the three of them about other things.

Jiang Chen's flying speed was astonishing, and he quickly carried Liu Cong and the other two out of the depths of 009 and out into the outside world.

And here, he met an acquaintance.

Wu Huai was seen fighting a mid-level beast soldier under the protection of his guards.

However, he looked quite disheveled, being chased around in circles by this mid-level beast soldier, running and yelling.

"That kid."

Jiang Chen chuckled, but did not stop. Instead, he flew straight towards the nearest military base.
