3114 Stand By And Do Nothing
While Guo Ziqi and the others were besieging the Millennium Dryad, the surrounding branches stretched out and joined the battle. All the nearby trees moved, but the one that Feng Jiu leaned against was motionless.
Upon seeing this, the disciples who were entangled by the branches fought in a panic and couldn’t help but were stunned at this sight. They shouted: “Mu Jiu, help us!”
“You are all Nascent Soul cultivators, if you can’t even defeat a Millennium Dryad, then there’s no road ahead for you.” Feng Jiu said calmly and took a fruit out from space, then she leaned against the tree and ate the fruit while she watched them fight.
When everyone heard this, their belligerence was aroused, so they gritted their teeth and slashed out with their swords. Several branches and leaves were scattered on the ground nearby, and the Millennium Dryad was finally besieged by Pei Zixuan, Mu Ling, Lin Chengjin and Shao Kaizhi.
In comparison to other tree demon attacks, this Millennium Dryad’s attack was extremely fierce. Its roots sprang up suddenly from the ground and hit them. Each blow was sharp as a sword and if they had failed to dodge in time, they would be injured by its sharp breath.
“Swish!”
“Ssss! Ah!”
A sharp sound was followed by a shrill cry. The disciple whose surname was Chen was unable to react in time and his calf was pierced by a sharp branch. He fell down in an instant, and as the sharp branch pulled back, a stream of blood splashed all over the ground.
“Senior Brother!” When they saw that their Senior Brother had been injured, they rushed over to his side to protect him and retreated towards Feng Jiu. Little did they know the reason why those branches didn’t dare to attack there. But they knew that the safest place was probably by Mu Jiu’s side.
“Mu Jiu, please look after our Senior Brother, please.” The disciples bowed to Feng Jiu and begged for her help. Before she could speak, they had rejoined the battle.
The disciple whose surname was Chen sat on the ground and held his calf that had been pierced by the sharp branch. There was a hole in his calf and the pain penetrated to his bone marrow, which caused him to break out in cold sweat.
Feng Jiu continued to eat the fruit and glanced at him casually, as if to say that it had nothing to do with her: “The blood must be stopped quickly, otherwise you’ll die if it continues to bleed like this.”
Upon hearing this, the disciple whose surname was Chen looked up at him. He knew in his heart that this was the result of his own actions. After all, Mu Jiu had warned them earlier and told them to deal with the woman. He was the one who had protected the woman, he just hadn’t expected…
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then he took out the hemostasis medicine from his cosmos sack and sprinkled it over the wound. Next, he tore off a piece of his own robe and bandaged the wound. After he had done all that, it felt as if all the energy had drained from his whole body and he sat against the big tree and panted for breath.
Maybe it was because Feng Jiu was there, but when the branches started to stretch towards him, they shrank back suddenly, as if they were afraid to touch something terrifying.
Upon seeing this, the eyes of the disciple whose surname was Chen flickered slightly. He looked at Mu Jiu who was leaning against the big tree and eating the fruit and asked: “Why doesn’t the tree demon dare to attack you? This is too strange. No matter how it looks, it just doesn’t seem right.”
Feng Jiu smiled slightly when she heard this and cast a sideways glance at the disciple who was sitting next to her. She said half-truthfully: “That’s because they know that I am dangerous.”
The disciple whose surname was Chen was speechless when he heard this…
