There were screams from the crowd instantly.
It wasn't just them. It seemed that other groups of disciples in the distance had also encountered the same thing, and their cries could be heard from afar.
Hua Shi looked up and saw that many places on the hills surrounding the entire spiritual realm had changed just like the place where they were. Countless red light pillars shot up into the sky from the ground, as if some strange power was bursting out from deep underground.
Hua Shi quickly stood firm and supported Zhou Li who was almost falling beside him. The first thing that came to his mind was what the system had said to him not long ago.
Before entering the spiritual realm, the system already knew that something would happen here, so it reminded him in advance.
This should be the best time to slip away. Right now, everything is in chaos. As long as he turns around and leaves in the chaos, no one should notice his movements.
Hua Shi turned around to look at Zhou Li beside him. Zhou Li was steady by him. After confirming that they were each other's safety, he hurried to check on the other disciples. Hua Shi looked at his back, took two steps back, and had already determined the route to leave.
Fang Wei also saw his intention, and took the initiative to speak in Hua Shi's mind: "Host, it should only take five hours to get from here to the place marked on the map. Host, please act as soon as possible."
Hua Shi nodded slightly, turned and left.
However, at this moment, the ground shook again, and two golden figures rushed over from nowhere, flew past Hua Shi's shoulders, and flew straight towards the Tianwen Mountain disciples behind him.
Hua Shi paused, struggled for a moment, and finally turned around and returned to the crowd.
Fang Wei was a little surprised when she saw this: "Host?"
Hua Shi hesitated and said, "I don't think I can leave at this time."
While he was saying this to Fang Wei in his mind, he had already returned to the crowd. Two disciples had just been injured by the golden figure that suddenly appeared. Hua Shi rushed over to help the two disciples up, and quickly stuffed the medicine he brought from home into the arms of the people next to him so that they could apply the medicine to the people.
This group of young disciples probably had never traveled far, and they were not aware of the dangers they might encounter after going out, so no one made any preparations. Only Hua Shi, who was afraid of danger and valued his life, took everything with him before leaving. He now had a lot of medicine and necessities on him. In fact, there were piles of things in the space of Yunxiu Pen to ensure that he would have a way to deal with anything that happened at any time.
Hua Shi's medicine was the best medicine specially prepared by the Hua family. Taking it out at this time could be considered a life-saving thing. Upon seeing this, everyone immediately took the things and began to apply the medicine to the injured disciples in a hurry.
Seeing this group of people busying themselves and finally stopping the bleeding, Hua Shi breathed a sigh of relief and slightly relaxed his frown.
Fang Wei saw all his actions and reactions just now, and was a little surprised.
This young master seemed to be a little beyond his expectations.
He is obviously terribly afraid of death and looks like a timid, lazy guy, but his instinctive choice in an emergency is to turn around and save people?
Fang Wei did not comment on his choice. Hua Shi seemed to have only considered the consequences now. Now, thanks to the medicine he took out to save the injured, several disciples of Tianwen Mountain were grateful for his help. He immediately became the focus of the crowd. Now it was obviously impossible for him to slip away quietly.
Realizing that he had missed the best opportunity to leave, Hua Shi's face suddenly turned bitter, and even when he accepted the thanks his expression was slightly bitter.
After confirming that the injured disciple was fine, everyone focused their attention on the two golden figures that had just attacked people.
The golden figures turned out to be two monkeys covered in golden hair. They had been controlled by everyone at this time, but their emotions still seemed unstable. They were struggling to untie the ropes tied around their bodies, roaring and opening their bloodshot eyes, wanting to attack anyone who approached them.
Hua Shi stared at this thing for a long while. From its appearance, it didn't look like a powerful monster at all. On the contrary, it looked like -
"Is this a spiritual object?" Hua Shi asked the system in his heart.
Fang Wei had already seen the problem, and when Hua Shi asked him the question, he did not hide it: "They are spiritual creatures, but they must be controlled by something, so they will attack and hurt people."
After hearing the system's statement confirm his guess, Hua Shi looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky again. There were many pillars of light like the one in front of them. They were distributed all over the place, and they looked like sharp blades that were about to pierce through the sky.
Fang Wei noticed his expression and quickly said, "You're right. They must have affected these spiritual creatures."
Hua Shi was still puzzled: "But what exactly are these things?"
Fang Wei did not answer immediately. He also looked at the light beams and felt a certain breath emanating from them. That breath reminded him of the abyss that he hated the most.
They are not homologous, but they are very similar.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Hua Shi asked again: "System?"
Fang Wei retracted her gaze and responded to Hua Shi's words: "I don't know."
Hua Shi couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you holding the script?"
Fang Wei: “…”
This host seems to be a little difficult to deal with lately.
He was thinking about how to respond to Hua Shi's words, but at this moment, Zhou Li had already walked towards Hua Shi.
Zhou Li first explained the current situation to Hua Shi, and then thanked him for the medicine, and then talked about the spiritual creatures that had lost their minds. Other teams nearby also rushed over, and those people seemed to have encountered the same thing as them, and they also saw many spiritual creatures attacking them on the way.
And the most important thing is that there are also injured people among this group of people.
Hua Shi understood what Zhou Li meant. He didn't have time to chat with the system for the time being. He took the initiative to accompany Zhou Li to see the group of injured disciples and took out more medicine to give to them.
The team originally consisted of only a dozen people, but now had more than twenty people.
Everyone was not sure what was going on, and what concerned them more was that they were trapped on the mountain in the Spirit Realm, and wanted to ask for help from the senior who led the team before, but for some reason, no one responded after sending out the distress signal. Someone else wanted to use the talisman that they had prepared before to leave the Spirit Realm and return to the Xuanqing Continent, but soon discovered that the talisman had lost its effect.
The torn talisman turned into fragments and fell to the ground, but everyone was still standing there intact and had not been teleported back.
After hearing the news, all the disciples really began to collapse and panic. The braver disciples couldn't help but hugged each other and cried.
Hua Shi looked at the state of the crowd and after thinking for a while he simply took out all the other things he had with him and distributed them to the crowd. Among them were food, mahjong, chess and cards, bandages, medicine, cloaks, hats, melon seeds, peanuts, fruits and storybooks. There were all kinds of messy things, which made people wonder how he managed to hide all these things on his body and take them all away.
However, thanks to Hua Shi's thorough preparation, everyone has gradually accepted the current situation and has become much calmer under the leadership of many leading disciples.
It’s a pity that under this situation, no one has the leisure to play the chess and cards prepared by Hua Shi.
As time went by, probably because the terrain here was good and there was a lot of movement, several more teams found this place and joined them.
The current situation is still unclear and everyone is looking for a solution. Soon Zhou Li gathered with several elite disciples from other sects who had a say and began to discuss what they should do next.
For Hua Shi, there was nothing wrong with this, but when Zhou Li was discussing with everyone, he actually pulled him over.
In Hua Shi's opinion, he had neither strength nor ability, and such a crucial matter should not have much to do with him. A person like him should have sat in the corner eating melon seeds, watching them discuss, and finally just followed them obediently.
However, because of Hua Shi's identity as the young master of a noble family, and the fact that the medicine he brought this time saved many people, everyone took Hua Shi very seriously. Even when encountering controversial issues during discussions, everyone would turn around and ask Hua Shi for his opinion.
Hua Shi: “…”
He felt that he had inadvertently established an image of a mature, stable and just person in everyone's mind.
But in reality, all he wanted to do now was to hold his head and cry in the corner with that group of young disciples.
He really wanted to say that he really knew nothing and couldn't make any decision, but looking at the trusting and expectant eyes of the crowd, Hua Shi swallowed the words back and finally could only give a forced answer with a wry smile. In the end, he didn't know what he had said.
Hua Shi was tortured badly, but Fang Wei found his rare look of being humiliated very interesting.
After discussing it, everyone finally decided to turn back to the coast where they came from and look for the traces of the team leaders. Once they found them, they would find out the current situation of the Spirit Realm and find a way to leave here.
Although the Spirit Realm is very different from the Xuanqing Continent, both have the difference between day and night. It took them a long time to travel along the way, and an accident delayed them for a long time. Now it is almost night, and no one knows whether the current situation will be more dangerous at night, so they must hurry and leave here as soon as possible.
After this was decided, several leading disciples conveyed the message to the disciples of their respective sects. Although everyone was still in shock, they all knew what was important and what was not, so they each supported the injured disciples and began to rush down the mountain.
Because the previous earthquake changed the terrain, and there were many spiritual creatures with affected minds attacking them on the road, their journey back was not smooth. They walked for a long time, but only covered the distance they had covered in an hour before. The only lucky thing was that they picked up a few lost disciples on the road.
"It seems we can't make it back tonight." Looking at the road ahead and the still distant coast, Zhou Li walked beside Hua Shi with an extremely solemn expression and his jaw was taut.
Hua Shi looked back at Zhou Li and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Because they had been walking for too long, everyone stopped to rest. Hua Shi and Zhou Li sat under a tree. Hua Shi thought for a while and finally found something to comfort him: "Maybe those seniors are trying to find us now. It doesn't matter if we can't go back tonight. At least we haven't encountered any powerful monsters yet. We just need to wait a little longer..."
As he said this, he was suddenly interrupted by a strange sound of wind.
Hua Shi suddenly stopped talking with a stiff face.
"It's over, it's over." Hua Shi's face changed drastically and he stood up quickly.
Seeing him suddenly stop talking and look so flustered, Zhou Li couldn't help but stand up and ask, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi listened to the nearby noise nervously, and said in a daze: "I think I said something stupid just now."
Zhou Li frowned, not understanding what Hua Shi meant.
Hua Shi: “…”
There is something called fg, and there is a mouth called a crow's mouth.
He realized that he seemed to have accidentally touched some kind of ridiculous switch, and now it was coming true...
As he was thinking this, the air around him suddenly changed, and the nearby branches and fallen leaves made a violent noise. At the same time, a flash of lightning suddenly struck, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, and fiercely struck where they were! All this happened in just a moment, but Hua Shi was sure that in that flash of lightning, he saw a hideous shadow with scales and fangs!
Hua Shi’s eyes suddenly widened.
Zhou Li beside him also reacted. He almost completely lost his usual composure and shouted in surprise: "It's a ninth-level spiritual object! That is..."
Hua Shi could no longer hear what Zhou Li said next, because the voice was completely covered by the sound of the thunder. At the moment the lightning struck, Hua Shi was hit by a powerful force all over his body. He couldn't help but take several steps back and was blown away by this extremely domineering force.
Not only him, but everyone around him was swept up by this force. For a while, screams were heard everywhere. The ground around him cracked inch by inch, and dead grass and fallen leaves were flying all over the sky. Hua Shi looked up and saw only a tragic scene of ruins.
Severe pain spread from the back to all parts of his limbs, and the pain almost made Hua Shi faint. Hua Shi held on to the tree trunk beside him and barely stood firm. He endured the severe pain and looked for Zhou Li, but could not find him.
He opened his mouth to call for help, but when he opened his mouth he realized that he couldn't make any sound. So he could only smile bitterly and call the system in his mind.
"System." Hua Shi gritted his teeth and said, "What is going on now..."
Fang Wei responded to Hua Shi almost immediately: "Host."
Hua Shi was slightly stunned. He originally thought that the system's voice was too cold and silent, but at this time, hearing the system's emotionless voice, he actually felt it was somewhat intimate.
This was the first time he was caught in such a dangerous situation. He had made countless plans in the past, but now he had forgotten them all. All he could see was the scorched earth all around him after the thunder, and all he could hear were the shouting and crying of the crowd.
He bit his lip and said to the system in his mind: "You mentioned before that there is a self-rescue system, right?"
Fang Wei had expected him to ask this question, so she quickly responded, "Yes."
Hua Shi asked with difficulty: "Can I survive?"
Without waiting for Fang Wei to respond, Hua Shi asked again: "What about them?"
Fang Wei glanced at the people around him who were injured by the ninth-level spiritual creature just now, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "As long as the host wants..."
"I want to." Hua Shi smiled helplessly, but finally said, "Save people."
Fang Wei was not surprised by Hua Shi's choice. Hua Shi had traveled through time and space and had never seen the killing scenes in Xuanqing Continent. Naturally, he would not treat human lives as worthless like many people and could not bear to watch them die in front of him.
So Fang Wei responded almost immediately, and he said: "Host, do you want to activate the self-rescue mode?"
Hua Shi coughed twice, closed his eyes slightly, and nodded.
And just as he nodded, Fang Wei's spiritual sense moved slightly, following Hua Shi's consciousness to the center of his soul.
Then that spiritual consciousness slowly merged into the depths of Hua Shi's soul.
The light of pale golden divine consciousness flickered around Hua Shi's body.
The next moment, he opened his eyes again, but the look in his eyes was completely different from before.
