The roar of the monster was getting closer and closer. Gao Han didn't have much time to hesitate and decided to give it a try.

A rustling sound of footsteps suddenly sounded. Gao Han looked over vigilantly. A group of people suddenly appeared and were stunned when they saw him.

But their expressions changed when their eyes fell on the injured man on the ground.

"Big Brother." One of them called out, but he didn't run over. He stared at Gao Han with a bad look on his face, "Who are you? Did you hurt our Big Brother?"

"A girl asked me to help look after her while she went to look for spiritual herbs." Gao Han explained.

Several people's expressions suddenly relaxed, "So that's how it is. You should be talking about our senior sister. Now that we have found our senior brother, we don't need your help anymore. Just leave the senior brother to us."

If most people saw the injured man's fellow disciples coming, they would definitely return the hot potato to them without hesitation.

Gao Han looked at them and shook his head slowly. "Since that girl asked me to take care of her, I promised her. How can I go back on my word?"

"Senior sister asked you to take care of it because there was no one else around. Now that we are here, you are no longer needed." The man in white with a green tassel hanging from the hilt of the sword took a step forward.

Gao Han lowered his eyes slightly, but when he raised them again, they were shining brightly, "But how do I know that you must be his fellow apprentices?"

"You..." The young man who was traveling with him was about to get angry, but was stopped by the man in white.

"His suspicion is not without reason." The man in white was not angry. Instead, he smiled and raised the sword in his hand. "Brother, this should prove it. The green tassel is specially given to the inner disciples of Zixiao Sect. You may want to compare it with the green tassel on my senior brother's sword."

Gao Han glanced at the sword that the injured man was holding tightly in his hand, and there was indeed a green tassel on it.

Judging from the workmanship and shape, the green spikes on the sword are exactly the same as those on the white-clothed man's sword, so it is almost certain that they are from the same sect.

"Even so, I can't hand him over to you."

The man in white frowned, "Why is that?"

"This young man is seriously injured and cannot move. A large number of monsters will soon come here following the smell of blood. Since I have said it before, we must protect him. Since you are his fellow disciples, isn't it just right for you to guard here together?" Gao Han glanced at their faces.

The man in white relaxed his brows upon hearing this, and said with a folded hand, "Since you are so righteous, we would like to thank you on behalf of our senior brother. Leave the matter of the monster attack to us."

"That's great." Gao Han nodded.

After a while, the monsters they expected appeared in groups.

"You've come just in time!" the man in white shouted, unsheathed his sword, and the sharp sword energy fell on the monster in front of him.

They shielded Gao Han and the injured man behind them, but the monsters seemed to have intelligence, and several of them began to attack one of the places.

The young monk who was trying to stop them blushed and shouted, "Come and help me, I can't stand it any longer."

After saying that, a monster beast broke through his defense and pounced towards Gao Han.

Gao Han only had a dagger on him, and the dagger was made of inferior materials, so it was difficult to break through the monster's defense.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of the injured man's sword out of the corner of his eye, and picked it up without hesitation, using it as a knife.

With one slash of the sword, the monster's defense was broken.

The opponent was stunned for a moment, and while he was stunned, two more monsters suddenly broke through his defense.

Gao Han lowered his eyes slightly and killed the two monsters without hesitation.

Just then, the ground shook slightly.

"Oh no, a lot of monsters are coming this way." The man in white suddenly shouted, killed the monster in front of him, came to Gao Han, bent down and was about to pick up the injured man.

Gao Han blocked it with his sword, "What are you doing?"

The man in white explained: "Once we are surrounded by monsters, it will be difficult to leave here alive. The most urgent thing is to retreat first."

"I should have told you that your eldest brother cannot move," Gao Han said.

"Of course I remember this, but there is nothing I can do now. I can only take a gamble. Big Brother, you will be lucky. Nothing will happen to you."

"That may not be the case. Besides, if we leave and the girl goes back to pick the spiritual herbs, where will she find us?" Gao Han asked again.

The man in white said without hesitation, "As long as Senior Sister hasn't seen Senior Brother's body, she will definitely come to find us. You don't have to worry about that. We all have special codes in our sect. As long as we leave codes along the way, she will definitely find us."

"How about this, why don't you hold on for a while longer and I will treat your senior brother." Gao Han suddenly suggested.

The man in white was stunned for a moment before asking, "Can you treat it?"

"I know a thing or two. The most urgent thing is to stop the bleeding first, right?" Gao Han asked calmly.

The man in white hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, Senior Brother, I'll trouble you. Let's hold on a little longer."

Gao Han smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's not a problem. After all, this matter is none of your business. But we feel bad for asking you to take risks with us." The man in white smiled, turned around and went back to his original position to explain to the others.

Gao Han noticed their gazes but ignored them. If they hadn't happened to come over, he would have tried it earlier.

Gao Han sent a ball of pure energy light into the injured man's abdomen.

The blood that was originally flowing out slowed down. Finding it was effective, he transferred the healing energy to the man several more times.

"Senior Brother." The young monk who saw this scene called out softly to the man in white.

The man in white glanced at Gao Han with a gloomy look in his eyes.

At this time, a large number of monsters, smelling the blood, attacked again.

Gao Han was treating an injured man when he suddenly felt a sense of evil and danger. When he looked up, he saw a monster rushing towards him.

"Oh no! This is the leader of the monsters. Everyone be careful!"

The shocked voice of the man in white came over.

The strength of the monster leader is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary monsters. It is estimated that he is a monster that has reached the great perfection of foundation building.

"Brother, we can't hold on any longer. Please be careful."

It’s a bit late to bring it up now.

At such a short distance, if he used the sword again he might be knocked away. Seeing that the injured man's wound had stopped bleeding, Gao Han picked him up and avoided the monster's attack.

The monster immediately chased after him again.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly restrain this monster?" Gao Han shouted.

"It's no use. There are more and more monsters, and we can't spare any effort." The man in white faced four or five monsters alone, looking very difficult.

Gao Han exerted force on his feet, put the injured and unconscious man into a corner, and rushed forward with his sword.

The monsters of Lingtian Continent are very similar to the mutated creatures on Earth, except for their body shape.

This is a golden-ringed pig with a huge nose with a golden ring locked on it, and a green face and fangs.

Gao Han judged that the golden ring was most likely the weakness of the monster, so he approached it and stabbed the golden ring pig's weakness with his sword.

Someone who saw this scene nearby snorted.

This is not the first person who thinks the golden ring is the weakness of this type of monster, and everyone who thinks so ends up dying.

The golden ring pig suddenly let out a loud and shrill scream, the pain driving it crazy.

Gao Han retreated quickly, and the golden ring pig couldn't find a target to attack, so it just went wherever the scent was strongest based on its feeling.

Several men in white were unfortunately chosen, and the young man who originally thought that Gao Han would be killed by the golden ring pig was even more shocked. Wasn't he just about to attack the golden ring?

Except for a few seconds of confusion at the beginning, they later dealt with the blind golden ring pig.

"Brother." The man in white put away his sword and walked towards Gao Han.

"Just stand there." Gao Han stopped them.

The man in white paused.

"What do you mean?" the young monk who was traveling with him asked angrily.

"We should be the ones asking you what you mean by saying he is his fellow disciple, but I can't see it at all." Gao Han glanced at the injured man.

"Why do you say that, brother?" The man in white frowned.

Gao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems like you guys want to kill him. The injuries on his body were also caused by you, right?"

"What right do you have to say that? In my opinion, you are the one who hurt my senior brother. You said that my senior sister went to collect spiritual herbs, but she hasn't come back for so long. Who knows if it was a lie? Hand over my senior brother, or don't blame us for being rude!"

The young monk had disliked Gao Han for a long time, and when he saw that he actually questioned them, he immediately exploded.

"Are you going to reveal your true colors so soon? If you are really his fellow apprentices, why have none of you shown any concern for his injuries since you met him? Real fellow apprentices are not like you."

Gao Han's expression was calm, and he did not panic when facing the other people.

"How did you find out?" the man in white asked calmly.

"Senior Brother." The three people traveling with him immediately shouted.

The man in white raised his hand. "He is on guard against us everywhere. Haven't you noticed?"

The three of them suddenly became quiet. They had noticed it, but they were not sure. They thought the other party was just being cautious out of habit.

"His injuries." Gao Han said, "The wound on his abdomen was caused by a monster, but the wound on his back looks more like it was left by someone close to him. Considering your performance just now, I guess it was you."

"You guessed right, it was us." The man in white admitted it straightforwardly, "But we did this for a reason."

Gao Han didn't ask, he knew the man in white would continue talking.

"You are protecting a monster."

Gao Han raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Big Brother has long been possessed by an evil spirit. This evil spirit will slowly assimilate him, turning him into a real evil spirit, lurking among humans. In the end, it will only infect more people, and there is almost no cure."

The man in white said in a deep voice.

"Senior Sister likes Senior Brother, so she is against us killing him. But if she continues like this, she will be assimilated. We can't just watch Senior Sister die."

"What are the characteristics after being assimilated?" Gao Han asked.

The man in white couldn't tell from his calm face whether he believed it or not, so he could only say truthfully: "A demon that has been completely assimilated cannot use spiritual power."

"In the current situation of the eldest brother, it has only been half a day since he was possessed. He should not have been completely assimilated yet."

"That is to say, you still have no way to prove whether he is possessed by a demon or not, right?" Gao Han said calmly.

The man in white frowned.
