Chapter 76: Luring the Monsters

Returning to the present, Sheng Yuan and Zhu Ji Feng were quickly designing a system to detonate all the explosives. After some effort, they finally completed it. Sheng Yuan said:

"Now, let’s go help them."

Zhu Ji Feng nodded. Over the past few days, they had been doing many things, but those tasks didn’t consume much physical energy. On the contrary, Sheng Yuan’s injuries had improved slightly. He said:

"Alright. Let’s quickly inform them and then plan to lure the monsters close to the explosives."

Then the two of them immediately run to the center of the battlefield. The situation at Chu Wu’s location is not well.

Previously, because Chu Wu, Sheng Yuan, and Yan Meng Long were all in the same realm, so the concentration of monsters was dispersed. However, Dao San Qian’s realm is higher than theirs, so the monsters keep targeting him.

His injuries are extremely severe now. It has only been a few days since he started fighting, yet he is almost as injured as Chu Wu, even though Chu Wu has been fighting for a long time.

At this moment, Sheng Yuan and Zhu Ji Feng arrived. Sheng Yuan shouted:

"We’re ready. Now we need to lure them over there."

Hearing this, the three of them feel a little relieved. After all, it’s been a while since they’ve had relatively good news.

Dao San Qian saw that only two of them had arrived, without Xia Ni, so he asked:

"Where is Xia Ni?"

"He was seriously injured by the explosion and lost consciousness. But he’s still alive." Zhu Ji Feng said.

Everyone just nodded. In any case, even if they were worried, she couldn’t get up and fight, so they still had to focus on the monsters. Chu Wu dodged the monsters’ attacks and asked:

"Do you have a plan?"

"What plan? Isn’t it that we need to lure them to where the explosives are? We’ve already prepared a way for the explosives to detonate simultaneously." Zhu Ji Feng said.

Dao San Qian said while running:

Everyone immediately objected:

"How can we let you lure them alone?"

Dao San Qian explained:

"Many people won’t help. I’m the strongest here, so it’s logical for me to lure them. Besides, this is my path, so don’t stop me. Anyway, the worst that can happen is death, what’s there to fear? Moreover, you must be ready to take the core of the largest monster."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Dao San Qian was right. Whether it was one person or many, they had to lure the monsters to the explosives. Having more people involved only meant more risk of death.

"Alright, we’ll go ahead. When the monsters are close enough, we’ll detonate all the explosives without worrying about you." Yan Meng Long said.

Zhu Ji Feng pointed in a direction quite far away and said:

"That’s where we’ll start the ignition. Can you fight and keep an eye on the fire starter? We have to ignite from that far to ensure our safety."

Dao San Qian immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, I think it will take quite a long time for it to burn, so I may have time to calculate. But I can’t guarantee success 100%."

Sheng Yuan was not disappointed to hear this news. She said:

"It’s okay, it might work. Right now, we can only take the risk."

"Alright, then you guys go ahead. I’ll take care of this." Dao San Qian nodded and said.

Everyone nodded and then separated to take action. At this point, in the eyes of the monsters, the strongest and closest target was Dao San Qian, so nine monsters simultaneously attacked him.

"Good, all of you are good. Just stay close like that." Dao San Qian laughed and said.

He continued to dodge attacks and slowly led the monsters to the position of the explosives. Meanwhile, the other four were quickly running to the location of the explosives. While running, Chu Wu was still thinking about what Dao San Qian had said. He asked:

"Will we really ignore him and just focus on taking the core of that monster?"

The three fell silent for a moment after hearing the answer. Chu Wu was also somewhat different from them, so he understood that their thoughts might differ at times. An atmosphere of silence ensued for a while, then Yan Meng Long said:

"You know, you and Jun Wu Xiao are sometimes quite different from us. We have our responsibilities, though not very clear, but we know that killing monsters is also our responsibility. And this responsibility is what we prioritize over our lives, so someone’s sacrifice will not hinder our actions."

Sheng Yuan said:

"But it’s not that we will really ignore him. But you have to know what should be prioritized. If we waste time, the monsters will have a chance to recover. Then his sacrifice will become meaningless. So we have to use all our strength to extract the monster’s core as quickly as possible. Then we’ll see if he’s alive or not. If lucky, he’s still alive, then quickly bring the doctor to save him because we don’t have much expertise in this, and we don’t have medical equipment either."

Chu Wu nodded. He wasn’t the type to act too impulsively, but at this moment, he couldn’t do as much as they could. He said:

"Alright, we have to hurry. This is our only chance and our last chance. If we fail, we will all die."

The three nodded, and they quickly ran to the location of the explosives. Upon arrival, Zhu Ji Feng immediately ignited the explosives.

The detonator he and Sheng Yuan made was very long, first to make it easy to observe, and second to give them time to move away from this place.

Looking at the thousands of crates of explosives in front of him, Chu Wu exclaimed:

"I’ve never seen so many explosives in my life. I hope this amount of explosives will be enough."

Sheng Yuan patted his shoulder and said:

"There’s no time to marvel. Quickly run far away from here."

Chu Wu nodded, and the four of them ran at the fastest speed to get away from this place. At the same time, Dao San Qian was leading the monsters closer and closer to the mountain of explosives.

This plan could be used simply because the intelligence of the monsters was very low. If they were really intelligent, they couldn’t ignore a pile of explosives right in front of them.

Dao San Qian had also seen the detonator burning at this point. He thought:

"Judging by its burning speed, there’s probably about five minutes left. This should be enough time."

He then began to think about a plan to lure the largest monster close to the explosives at the moment of detonation.
