Chapter 108 Fighting Side by Side
The traces of the battle were visible on the vast gray-black and overgrown mudflats.
The bright red blood mixed with the gray-black water, forming a black and red water surface. Many earth dragon corpses also floated on the water surface. The scene was tragic and spectacular.
Although Shen Peiqing cannot use internal force yet, he can swing the sword freely and is capable of dealing with a few wild beasts.
If he was the only one crossing this mudflat, it would not be difficult at all, but since he had to lead a group of people, it became a bit difficult.
This is also the reason why he arranged himself to lead the way. He usually makes judgments based on reality and will not act to show off his ability.
After he swung his sword to repel and knock down many earth dragons, those earth dragons had already regarded him as a very powerful enemy. They seemed to be reluctant to act rashly against him, and one or two even chose to run away.
Seeing this scene, Shen Peiqing did not have much emotion. He just thought that this was just a very normal phenomenon. After all, when he had internal strength and was at its peak, it was no problem for him to fight against a thousand people alone.
After dealing with the last earth dragon in front of him, he was planning to help Shitou and the others.
Suddenly, Gu Yuer's sharp and piercing voice of panic was heard.
"Sister Rong! Sister Yulan!"
His ears were so sharp that he only caught the word "Rong". At that moment, he suddenly turned around and looked.
But I saw a very thrilling scene.
An earth dragon that didn't look very big was opening its mouth to bite Rong Su, and Rong Su showed a panic expression, and was walking towards the earth dragon's trap.
Seeing this, Shen Peiqing didn't even think about it, and immediately rushed forward. The sword in his hand was swung so fast that it seemed to have lost its shadow, and the movements were so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.
My legs felt like they were walking on water, as light as a feather.
He arrived at the earth dragon that was attacking Rong Su before Gu Yun. His eyes were cold and gloomy. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the earth dragon fiercely. A flash of sword light passed through his black eyes, and the earth dragon fell to the ground miserably with a thud.
Then, Shen Peiqing turned around again, reached out and caught Rong Su, who was about to fall to the mudflat. He used all his strength to steady her. Then, his voice was cold and serious, and there was even a hint of anger and blame in his words: "Don't you want to die? If you can't even concentrate on the battle, then you will lose many lives to the enemy."
Hearing Shen Peiqing's angry words, Rong Su was about to get angry, but she hadn't recovered from the sudden shock yet, and she scolded him. Now she has gradually calmed down and is about to retort.
"Ah! Doctor Gu!"
Suddenly, Yulan's exclamation was heard from behind.
They turned around at the same time and looked behind them. It turned out that Gu Yun was originally going to save Rong Su, but Shen Peiqing took the lead and then went to save Yulan who was also about to be attacked by the earth dragon from behind.
But the earth dragon was much larger in size, and even after being chopped several times by the sword, it was still able to open its mouth and bite with great agility.
Gu Yun had a bite on his shoulder from the earth dragon.
Seeing this, Rong Su and Shen Peiqing took action at the same time.
She took out a dart and threw it at the earth dragon, while Shen Peiqing rushed over and slashed with a sword, hitting the earth dragon's nose.
With a terrible howl, the earth dragon must have felt severe pain. It took several steps back and struggled on the mudflat for a long time with its limbs. Then it dived into the mudflat in fear and left in a hurry.
Some of the earth dragons were successfully driven away, but the others did not leave so quickly. They continued to harass and each of them looked irritated. They stopped attacking the stone and instead all crawled towards Rong Su.
There was no time to ask about Gu Yun's injury. Rong Su reached out to touch the bag, but the bag had become thinner, with only the last two darts left.
Shen Peiqing noticed this action. He stepped forward, raised his sword and blocked her slightly, his voice cold.
"Take Gu Yun and the others and retreat back to Shitou first. Shitou will take you and hide in the woods first."
Hearing this, Rong Su frowned and looked at Shen Peiqing's profile. Her expression was focused and calm, inadvertently revealing a bit of his majestic temperament.
She pinched the bag, gritted her teeth, turned around and glanced at Gu Yun and Yu Lan. Gu Yun's shoulder was still bleeding, and he immediately said to Yu Lan, "Hurry up and take Gu Yun to find Shi Tou. Let Shi Tou take you to hide in the woods first!"
"Okay! Brother Gu, let's go." Yulan pulled Gu Yun to retreat without hesitation.
Gu Yun's face was pale. Although his shoulder was injured, he still tried hard not to show any pain. When he heard Rong Su's words, he looked at her with worried eyes: "What about you? Aren't you coming with us?"
Rong Su glanced at Shen Peiqing who was already engaged in a fierce battle with several approaching earth dragons. The scene was intense, and she even saw that his arm was injured by the attack of the earth dragon, but even so, he still held the sword tightly and fought with the earth dragon.
"Gu Yun, we can't leave Shen Peiqing alone to face these remaining earth dragons. It was me who insisted on crossing the mudflats in the beginning. Now that we're in danger, I can't just retreat and run away. I chose this path, and I must complete it. Also, I don't want to owe Shen Peiqing anything. Yulan, take Gu Yun away!"
He shouted the last sentence loudly, urging Yulan, then took out the dart in his hand and repelled an earth dragon that was approaching Gu Yun and the others, opening a path for them.
Gu Yun understood what Rong Su meant, but he was still very worried about her. He wanted to say something, but Yulan had already pulled him towards the stone. He could only look at Rong Su with an anxious expression.
But she had already gone to Shen Peiqing's side and stood with him. The two of them stood back to back, inexplicably forming an extremely harmonious yet dazzling scene.
He felt indescribably lonely and miserable. Even worse than when he was bitten by a earth dragon, the pain in his heart was not as severe as it was at this moment.
Shen Peiqing was chopping off an earth dragon when he caught a glimpse of Rong Su coming to his side. He was stunned for a moment and then felt a little displeased.
"Why don't you find a rock and hide in the woods? Are you going to die?"
Hearing Shen Peiqing's sarcasm, but the concern hidden in his words, Rong Su didn't bother with him. While being vigilant against the approaching earth dragons, he sneered: "If you stay here alone, aren't you also seeking death? With your current lack of internal strength and your sword swing being unsteady, you still have to face more than a dozen ferocious earth dragons. Why are you pretending to be a hero!"
Shen Peiqing didn't want to hear Rong Su say this at all. He just wanted her to escape from danger as soon as possible, so he made a decision for her in a cold and serious manner.
"I'm going to clear a path for you right now, and you'll leave here immediately!"
Seeing that this guy didn't listen at all, Rong Su suddenly felt a little angry, and her tone was a bit aggressive: "Why should I leave? It was my decision to cross the mudflats. Now facing this danger, you actually want me to leave? I can't let you stay here alone to face so many earth dragons!"
The voice was so loud that Shen Peiqing felt deafened. These words did not sound like they came from Rongsu's mouth at all, but now she told him every word clearly.
Shen Peiqing's heart couldn't help but stir a little, and his eyes flashed slightly.
After saying this, Rong Su realized that something was wrong and quickly added, "Because you are my patient and trader. If you die, who can I turn to for the things I need in the future?"
There was an awkward silence. The glimmer in Shen Peiqing's eyes disappeared, and the turmoil in his heart subsided. Sure enough, it was just because of this. He twisted his mouth and said in a cold voice: "I won't die. I don't think I can die. But you, on the other hand, can't leave now."
Every time Shen Peiqing had an inexplicable and annoying feeling of gloating. The two people who were about to quarrel were now completely surrounded by the earth dragon. They had no way to retreat, but also had a way to move forward.
They stood back to back, facing the earth dragons that were eyeing them hungrily. They were afraid that if they moved, the dragons would all pounce on them.
The scene was tense and full of crisis.
"It seems that you are here to die with me." Shen Peiqing suddenly said something that made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
Rong Su couldn't help herself and retorted: "If you want to die, go and die by yourself. I won't accompany you."
"Heh. Who said that just now? He was afraid that I would die and there would be no one to ask for my things." His tone seemed not so cold anymore, but instead had a hint of sarcasm.
It's already this time, can't this guy have any awareness of danger? He still has the mood to tease her here!
But she was no longer in the mood, because those earth dragons seemed to be about to take action. She was thinking quickly in her head how to leave this place safely while preserving her and Shen Peiqing's lives.
Not hearing Rong Su's answer, Shen Peiqing lowered his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and then his eyes instantly became cold, staring directly at the earth dragons.
"Rong Su. You probably only have one dart left in your hand, and you've run out of poison. You're unarmed now and can't fight against Tu Long at all. Listen to me and hide behind me, otherwise you'll be a burden to me. I don't want to really die."
A burden? This guy actually said that she was a burden to him? Rong Su was unwilling to accept it, but what he said was the truth. Now she had no weapons to deal with the enemy, and being here would only hinder Shen Peiqing from dealing with Tulong.
Was it wrong for her to insist on staying here?
The earth dragons began to move, and they rushed forward one after another. Shen Peiqing protected her while holding the long sword in his hand, and repelled the earth dragons one by one.
At this moment, an earth dragon seemed to be planning a surprise attack and pounced silently from Shen Peiqing's right side.
Rong Su saw this scene, her eyes widened, and she immediately threw the last dart, which hit Tulong's nose.
The earth dragon let out a howl, then retreated several feet away with pain and fear in its eyes.
Seeing this scene, Rong Su immediately thought of the time when Shen Peiqing used his sword to hit the earth dragon that attacked Gu Yun, and also hit the earth dragon's nose. That earth dragon also showed the same expression as the current one.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Rong Su immediately shouted to Shen Peiqing, "Shen Peiqing! Use your sword to attack their noses! Their entire bodies are incredibly strong, only their noses are fragile!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Peiqing chose to believe it for some reason. He took out his sword and silently stabbed the nose of the earth dragon that was rushing towards him.
After being hit on the nose, the earth dragon screamed, then quickly retreated in fear, and then turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Rong Su showed a smile that said "as expected" and looked at Shen Peiqing. Shen Peiqing also turned his head at that moment, and their eyes met. A feeling of pleasure of fighting side by side arose spontaneously.
Afterwards, Shen Peiqing no longer blindly attacked the earth dragon's leather armor or other parts of its body, but directly aimed at the earth dragon's nose.
But in just a moment, more than a dozen earth dragons retreated in fear, with frightened eyes, and then all turned around and ran away.
Only after finally successfully driving away all the earth dragons did Rong Su feel willing to relax for a moment.
"Great, we did it, the earth dragons were driven away!"
After saying that, she looked at Shen Peiqing again, but Shen Peiqing suddenly knelt on one knee, holding the sword in one hand and poking it into the ground, causing a splash of water.
"Shen Peiqing! What's wrong with you?"
He hurried over to ask, and reached out to hold his arm.
But as soon as I touched his arm, I heard the muffled sound of his forbearance.
I felt a sticky liquid where my hand touched, and when I raised my hand, it turned out to be blood!
"Shen Peiqing, you are injured! Come on, let's go to the woods!" Rong Su said, then bent down to help Shen Peiqing up, let him lean on her, and helped him walk towards the woods.
Shen Peiqing looked down at Rong Su and saw that she looked solemn and a little nervous. He lowered his eyes and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
The two walked for a long time and finally entered the woods.
Soon after she entered the woods, she heard the sound of stones.
"Master! Doctor Rong!"
Shitou had obviously noticed that Shen Peiqing seemed injured, so he ran over and asked nervously, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Without bothering to say more, Rong Su interrupted what Shitou was about to say: "No more questions, let's go to your resting place first. I need to check on Shen Peiqing's injuries, and Gu Yun as well."
Originally, Shen Peiqing was happy that Rong Su was so worried about his injury, but when he heard the second half of her sentence, the joy in his eyes disappeared instantly.
He called Shitou over and broke free from Rong Su's hand: "Shitou, hold me up."
Shitou came over without saying a word and supported Shen Peiqing.
Seeing Shen Peiqing suddenly like this, Rong Su was confused and glared at him with an ungrateful look. However, considering that he fought off so many earth dragons so recklessly, she let it go for the time being and followed them angrily.
When they arrived at the place where they were resting temporarily, they saw Gu Yun, Yu Lan and Gu Yu'er were all there. Seeing that they didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, Rong Su felt a lot more relieved.
They also saw that Shen Peiqing was injured, and they all asked questions with concern.
"Brother Shen, are you hurt?"
"Brother Shen, you're so powerful, but you're also injured? Is it serious?"
Shen Peiqing was helped to sit on a small rock. Hearing their questions, he said calmly, "It's okay."
"He's just being stubborn. Yu'er, go with me to the woods to see if there are any healing herbs. Yulan, you stay and look after these three people. They are all injured." Rong Su stabbed Shen Peiqing, and then began to arrange people to do the work.
Suddenly being rebuked, Shen Peiqing glanced at Rong Su's silently angry eyes. He really found it funny, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
This scene was seen by Gu Yun, and his eyes dimmed after seeing it.
