Chapter 403: Chapter 317: Dangerous Forest (1st Update)

Su Yu smiled and said, "I understand, Old Zhong, you better stay here. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to fight and break through. Now, what’s essential is to seize time, we can’t delay any longer." Saying this, he turned to Ada, "Send Mr. Lin, Mr. Meng, and me back."

Ada nodded, and Su Yun couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to shout at Su Yu to stay. However, suddenly, she realized that Su Yu had already made up his mind, and even she could not change it. The words she was about to say got stuck in her throat. As for Ma Ziye, she remained silent the whole time, seemingly in a daze.

Quickly, Ada transformed into a ball of black flame, circling around Su Yu, Lin Shi, and Meng Bo. At the same time, Ma Ziye, still looking lost, suddenly leaped forward. Just as the circle of flame had not fully closed, she rushed into it.

Zhang Zhongmou, Ren Honglin, and Gu Lingshuang also had the same idea. They stormed into the circle together. Consequently, Ada completed the circle, invoked the power of the "Heavenly Pit," and started the transmission.

"You guys—" Su Yu was taken aback, and then everything went dark. When he could see again, everyone was standing amidst the pouring rain. Next to them was the deep pit of the "Life Nest", enveloped in blazing red flames. The corpses inside had almost entirely turned into ashes, but the flames fueled by the energy stones of the fire element were still raging on. This fire would persist for a long time.

Seeing everybody standing around him, Su Yu was dumbfounded and speechless.

He absolutely did not expect that at the last moment, Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou, Ren Honglin, and Gu Lingshuang would suddenly rush in and get teleported back with them.

"Old Zhong, Ziye, you guys..." Su Yu started speaking but stopped midway. Ma Ziye just shook her head, saying indifferently, "Living is just like this. What harm is there in dying?"

Su Yu stared at her, puzzled. "Ziye, what’s wrong? You seem...strange..." However, before he could finish his thought, Zhang Zhongmou interjected with a grin, "Let’s stop the chit-chat. Now that we’re all here, you’re not going to send us back, are you?"

Meanwhile, Lin Shi was questioning Ren Honglin. "Why did you come as well? Didn’t I tell you to stay there?"

Ren Honglin replied, "Some time ago, Brother Zhang was right. If we keep shying away, fearing death, it contradicts the spirit of evolution. I...I want to evolve again, I want to...become stronger."

Gu Lingshuang turned to Meng Bo, "Sister Meng, if you have a reason to be here, then I have my own reasons too, and that’s you." She then grabbed Meng Bo tightly, "If you’re gone, then what’s the point of me surviving alone? We sisters will stick together, whether we live or die."

Meng Bo was deeply moved and held onto her hand tightly as well. The experiences these two women shared in these days had forged a bond between them that was even stronger than sisterhood.

Su Yu, observing everybody in front of him, heaved a long sigh. It seemed that everyone had their reasons for being here. Ada suddenly uttered, "Perhaps it’s fate, Su Yu. Let’s go. This was everyone’s choice."

Zhang Zhongmou chimed in, "Right, Su Yu, you always act tough, thinking you’re always looking out for us. But have you ever considered how anxious we, the ones left behind, feel? Jesus, I was so anxious waiting for you to return that my hair almost turned white. Instead of agonizing over you, I’d rather face a quick death. A man’s fate is in heaven’s hands, why fear so much? A real man should be resolute. Dammit—"

Talking as he was, he drew out his Red Lotus Sword with a swoosh, slashing through the air twice.

Surrounding them was darkness, but it was not devoid of light. Clearly, another day had passed, and now, it was the dawn of a new day.

Lin Shi, Meng Bo, Gu Lingshuang, and Ren Honglin stood together. Looking around, they all felt a surge of confidence. These four were the only survivors among hundreds in the school. When it came to destroying the "Life Nest", they were the ones most qualified and responsible.

"Let’s go." Su Yu slightly waved his hand. Lin Shi dashed ahead into the rain.

Su Yu, Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou, Lin Shi, Meng Bo, Gu Lingshuang, and Ren Honglin. The seven of them braved the pouring rain and finally headed towards the fourth "Life Nest".

The fourth "Life Nest" was at a considerable distance from the third "Life Nest". The heavy downpour made it even more challenging to navigate the dense forest. Not long after they started running, Su Yu suddenly yelled and spun around. "Boom!" A blood-red shadow emerged from a tree not far away, crashing into Su Yu, and he ended up shielding Ma Ziye underneath him.

Su Yu grunted and quickly rolled away. The others scattered, shouting warnings. Lin Shi hurriedly wiped his eyes and raised his right arm, revealing four gun barrels arranged in a circular pattern. However, they couldn’t locate the enemy just yet.

If Su Yu hadn’t reacted so promptly, the sudden shadow that leaped from the tree would have hit Ma Ziye. With Ma Ziye caught off guard, she would have been critically injured.
