Chapter 3031 - 3031 At Wit's End
3031 At Wit’s End
“What to do? Soon, we won’t be able to withstand their attacks.” One woman had a look of despair on her face and bloodshot eyes.
“Don’t worry about us. Get out of here!” The men were urging the women to flee.
“That will not do! We can’t just abandon you.” Another woman gritted her teeth. “If all else fails, we will die with these ferocious beasts!”
The men felt conflicted when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do about it. They’ve been running away and fighting all the way here. With all of their magical artifacts completely used up, their only source of hope was theImmortal Sect’s distress signal.
But now they were at the bottom of such a deep cliff. No one from their Immortal Sect could ever find their way here. This time, they would most probably die.
“It’s foolish to stay here to die when you have the chance to live!” One man, with a grim look on his face, was glaring at them icily. “If not for you two, we would not be in this situation. Get the heck out of here!”
When the two women heard this, all they could do was clench their teeth and let tears well up in their eyes. They had no intention of running away at all. Even though they were also injured, they might be able to escape if they leave the men behind and flee on their own. But if they ran away, their senior brothers would die for sure.
As soon as the women fled, with no one blocking the ferocious beasts’ path, the men would be pounced on, torn to shreds and thrown into the beasts’ bellies. They were all the sect’s most favoured disciples, the proud children of heaven. How did they get into such a terrible predicament, where they were all doomed to die and no one would ever find their remains?
“Did you not hear me? Leave this place right now! You don’t have to cover for us here.” The cold-faced man yelled again. The two women were brought to tears by his harsh voice and icy stare.
But they knew he was trying to get them to leave so he could let them live.
The other men said nothing when they overheard what the stony-eyed man had said. After seeing that the two women were still there after the man had reprimanded them, all the other men could do was sigh. “Calm down a bit. Since they’re not going anywhere, stop scolding them. It’s unpleasant to continue scolding them.”
“Hiss!”
“Ugh!”
The snarling, hissing beasts were slowly making their way towards the disciples. Their gaping jaws revealed sharp teeth and dripping saliva as if they had discovered a tasty treat. With a low roar, the beasts charged forward.
“I’m going to create a protective shield using my spirit energy breath,” One woman said. “Hopefully, it will keep them at bay for some time.” As she spoke, she mobilised the last of her spirit energy breath and laid a protective shield around them.
The visible air flow formed a small protective shield that protected the men in the middle. The two women were extremely cautious. They stood still with their swords in their hands and looked straight ahead. The ferocious beasts let out a low roar as the women set up the protective shield, and immediately afterwards, one beast pounced and slammed into the shield.
“Bang!”
The beast struck against the protective shield with great force. This single strike was enough to weaken the shield slightly. The sight alarmed the two women, who feared that the protective barrier would be broken. If that happened, they couldn’t wait for help to arrive.
“Bang!”
Another bang was heard as several more ferocious beasts followed suit and attacked the protective shield. A sound reached the disciples’ ears just as the shield was about to be broken.
