(This happened a month ago, before Xie Yang and the others arrived at the boundary.)
Boundary, the third rest point in the southern area.
The rest area on the boundary battlefield was very simple, just a large shed with a formation master setting up a solid protective formation outside.
It's not that it can't be done better. In the past, people built walls at rest stops, but they were eventually demolished by hordes of horned demons.
Even if there is a protective barrier outside the city wall, they will still ram into it head-on without fear of death until the barrier is destroyed.
After a few times, no one wanted to waste manpower and resources to build any more walls.
They would build the simplest tents and create a protective formation. Each rest stop would be guarded by two or three earth spirit root cultivators. When a horned demon outside hit the barrier, the earth spirit root cultivators would lead the other cultivators to escape underground.
Chen Yanshu had been assigned this task before. He also had the wood spirit root, and could temporarily entangle the horned demons' feet to help cover their retreat.
It's just that he was injured when he went to the battlefield to kill the horned demon two days ago. Now, the effects of his earth escape technique and entanglement technique are not ideal.
Now he can only stay in the shed and recuperate slowly, but the environment in the realm is not good and is not suitable for recuperation.
Before, someone would have immediately escorted him to a safe place, but now it is difficult to spare manpower.
In order not to waste time, now as long as the injured can hold on, they will be left here to take medicine and heal themselves.
When there are more injured people, or some have to be sent away, everyone will come together to send them back to a safe place to avoid other accidents on the way.
"Brother Shen, take another demon-repelling pill." Su Ye from the Medicine King Sect handed over a pill. "It will help disperse the demonic energy in your body, and your injuries will heal faster."
Being injured by a horned demon requires both treatment and purification. Su Ye only knows healing but not purification, so he has no way of healing Chen Yanshu.
The exorcism pills he refined could only help people expel some of the evil spirits, but could not completely clear them away.
What's worse is that there are not many materials for making exorcism pills, and all the ones allocated to him have been used up.
Therefore, Chen Yanshu has been refusing to take the exorcism pill. He feels that he can still hold on for now, so he should leave the pill to someone who needs it more.
But Su Ye had been handing him pills these past two days, so Chen Yanshu thought about it and took it first, so that Su Ye wouldn't keep thinking about it.
As for whether to eat it or not, we will see when the time comes.
He was just about to quietly put the pill away when suddenly a person floated in from outside and landed beside Chen Yanshu. He snatched the pill from Chen Yanshu's hand, then pinched Chen Yanshu's chin and forced the pill into his mouth.
When Su Ye saw that it was Si Junzhan who came, he quickly stood up and stepped back to take care of other wounded people.
Chen Yanshu was a little surprised to see Si Junzhan. Just as he was about to speak, his mouth was firmly held by Si Junzhan.
"Swallow the medicine first."
Si Junzhan thought for a moment and then said, "Don't think about holding it in your mouth and then spitting it out. No one wants to eat your saliva."
“…”
Chen Yanshu had no choice but to swallow the pill.
After all, what Si Junzhan said made sense. It would be impolite to spit out something that has already been stuffed into your mouth.
Si Junzhan saw his Adam's apple roll twice, then he let go of his hand, sat down, leaned aside and closed his eyes to rest.
Chen Yanshu asked in a low voice: "What's the situation outside?"
"It's just like that, the sky is always dark, and there are endless horned demons that can never be killed."
Si Junzhan was very tired and didn't even open his eyes when he spoke.
"However, the one that seriously injured you before was killed by me."
Chen Yanshu was a little surprised: "That horned demon is of a high level, and most of those horned demons look the same. How did Ah Zhan recognize it?"
Si Junzhan then opened his eyes and glanced at him: "You didn't get hurt by it, did you?"
"Didn't you chop off half of that horned demon's horn and draw a cross on its forehead? How could I not recognize it?"
Chen Yanshu: “…”
I almost forgot about this.
He remembered the broken horn, but he drew the cross as a vent for his anger after being seriously injured, as he was not fully conscious at the time.
Seeing that he was really thinking, Si Junzhan couldn't help but move over and touch Chen Yanshu's forehead. After finding that he didn't have a fever, he began to take his pulse.
After taking the pulse and finding nothing wrong, Si Junzhan let go, but he was still worried when he looked at Chen Yanshu.
Chen Yanshu leaned over and said with a smile, "How about Ah Zhan check my brain again?"
Seeing that he was still smiling as usual, Si Junzhan leaned back with confidence.
"Let Junior Brother Su check your brain. I'm very tired now and want to sleep."
"Okay, then Ah Zhan, go to sleep." Chen Yanshu lowered his voice unconsciously.
After taking the exorcism pill, he felt more energetic than before and was no longer tired. He leaned there quietly and looked at Si Junzhan.
Perhaps it is because cultivators with water spiritual roots are more fond of cleanliness, so the others will have some black blood stains on their bodies after killing the horned demons, and they will clean them up together when they come back to rest.
But Si Junzhan was always clean. If he didn't look tired, no one would have known that he had just come down from the battlefield.
Chen Yanshu reached out to touch Si Junzhan's long hair, which was all tied up, but suddenly an urgent whistle was heard outside, and then Shangguan Shuo from the Big Knife Sect ran in.
"Oh no! Another large number of horned demons are coming to attack our rest area. It's time to retreat."
Si Junzhan opened his eyes instantly and subconsciously picked up Chen Yanshu.
Chen Yanshu was speechless: "A Zhan, this is unnecessary, right? You can't rush out with me."
Si Junzhan said calmly: "We can't just wait for the earth escape. Let me help you break out. The average horned demon is not as fast as me."
"Isn't Azhan very tired?"
"It's not bad to be tired."
There are more than a dozen people in the rest area now, and only two of them have earth spiritual roots. Each of them can take two people at a time, so they have to make several trips back and forth.
Si Junzhan was aware of his current physical condition and felt that he could not help them, but he could avoid causing trouble.
He simply flashed out with Chen Yanshu in his hand, briefly leading people to walk on water. When the Horned Demon discovered him, he only saw two figures passing over his head.
The flying horned demon quickly chased after it, but Si Junzhan broke one of its wings with his sword, and it fell sideways in mid-air.
Chen Yanshu couldn't help but sigh: "A Zhan's swordsmanship is becoming more and more fierce."
"In a place like this, if you don't act tough, how can you survive?"
The longer Si Junzhan stayed in the realm, the more irritable he became.
He is now like the bottomless sea, which means that the calmer the weather is, the more turbulent the seabed will be.
Si Junzhan felt that if he continued to stay there, he would have to change his route and rebuild sooner or later.
This place was completely contrary to his free and easy way, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Chen Yanshu's Way of the Common People can be cultivated to perfection here, but it may cost him his life.
