Zhao Manyan's words were met with agreement from the others, and smiles began to appear on the faces of those who had survived the disaster.
"We should hurry back, this place is too terrifying!" After a moment, Bai Tingting said anxiously.
Others could smile, but she truly couldn't. Bai Tingting was the healer of the team. This training team, composed of two top academies, had suffered many casualties, both dead and injured. Just treating the wounded was giving her a headache.
In less than two days since arriving in Jinlin City, so many disasters had occurred. Now, being alive was a matter of pure luck.
The training team, formed by two academies, now had only a few people left, and some were injured. She just wanted to return to the An Boundary as soon as possible to settle down.
"Alright, everyone, get ready. We'll continue moving. Let's try to leave Jinlin City early!" Lin Chen said.
Hearing this, Zhao Manyan also stood up. Everyone tidied up and then buried their fallen companions.
"Rumble..."
Just then, a large group of footsteps came from afar. Just by hearing the sound, one knew that the number of demons in this group was absolutely enormous. The sheer number of footsteps made one's scalp tingle. Clearly, the previous battle aura had attracted the demons' attention.
"How could this happen? How did so many demons come? What should we do now!"
Bai Tingting said worriedly, her expression extremely tense, with a hint of despair in her voice.
After going through so many tribulations, they had finally managed to return safely, but now another unexpected event occurred.
The entire team's condition was very poor now. If they were caught by the demons, even if those demons were only of the Servant Level, they could still cause further casualties to this team.
Everyone looked at Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue. After these past few days of interaction, Lin Chen had already become the backbone of this team, and Mu Ningxue was very obedient to Lin Chen.
"What else can we do? Of course, we flee!" Lin Chen said.
"With so many demons, can we escape?" Zhao Manyan said helplessly. The speed of demons was much faster than that of humans. Even if humans could use magic, there would always be a moment when their magic energy ran out!
"Instead of spending this time thinking about it, hurry up and run!"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he directly led Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao out. There were not many people left in this training team, and some of the students had already lost their combat effectiveness. Not only could they not play any role, but they also became a burden. Lin Chen was both helpless and weary.
Seeing this, everyone didn't have time to think much and immediately cast their magic, running towards Lin Chen's direction. When they came to Jinlin City, that abandoned railway also became a landmark for everyone's escape route. They only needed to follow the railway's path to leave Jinlin City.
However, no matter what magic they used to accelerate their escape, they couldn't shake off the demons relentlessly chasing behind them. The distance between them not only didn't widen but gradually became closer.
Lin Chen looked back and saw a dense swarm of Servant Level demons not far behind, at least a thousand of them, and many War General Level demons among them.
"This is..."
"Lizard Skull Giant Demon!"
Lin Chen exclaimed, his eyes flickering. Looking at the endless horde of demons, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.
"Ah... I can't go on, they're catching up!" Bai Tingting cried out, trembling. Looking closely, her face was already covered in tears. As a healing mage, escaping was not her forte. Despite running with all her might, she still fell behind the team, and the demons behind her were less than five hundred meters away. Five hundred meters might seem long, but for demons, catching up to Bai Tingting would only take a dozen seconds.
"You all go first, I'll stay behind to cover you!" Lin Chen said loudly.
"I'll stay with you!" Mu Ningxue said to Lin Chen.
"No need, you take them and go first, I can handle it!" Lin Chen said to Mu Ningxue with a smile.
"Then be careful!" Mu Ningxue didn't insist anymore. She was aware of Lin Chen's strength. If it weren't for the students needing care, he probably wouldn't have chosen to flee in such a disheveled manner.
"Okay!" Lin Chen responded, stopping his steps. Looking at the constantly departing crowd, Lin Chen's lips curved slightly.
"Come on, more, my energy crystals, my money!" Lin Chen turned to look at the approaching demon horde and muttered to himself.
Whether it was Lin Chen, his women, or all of his summoned beasts, their cultivation could not be separated from energy crystals. Lin Chen would go monster hunting every once in a while. For these demons that actively came to him, Lin Chen had long been drooling over them. If it weren't for the burden of those students, he would have already started a massacre!
With a thought, the area within a hundred meters of Lin Chen instantly transformed into a dark green jungle. Yin'er, with its vibrant branches, swayed its leaves constantly, appearing very happy.
"Roar..."
This Blue Silver Legion, descending from the sky, made the demon horde not far away even more excited. In their eyes, the endless Blue Silver Legion before them was precisely their food.
"Yin'er, time to get to work!" Lin Chen said calmly, looking at the unusually excited demon horde.
As Lin Chen's words fell, countless Dark Blue Silver Grass extended their dark green, thick branches and leaves. The dense branches and leaves all spread towards the demon horde.
This demon horde was composed of Lizard Skull Giant Demons, most of which were Servant Level Lizard Skull Giant Demons, and there were also five War General Level Lizard Skull Giant Demons.
The War General Level Lizard Skull Giant Demons were very conspicuous within the Lizard Skull Giant Demon horde; their bodies were several times larger than those of the Servant Level Lizard Skull Giant Demons.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Hundreds of Lizard Skull Giant Demons, who were rapidly charging, were suddenly entangled by dark green vines around their feet, all falling to the ground with loud thuds.
The Lizard Skull Giant Demons behind them noticed the anomaly and stopped their advance one after another!
The vines wrapped around their feet continued to spread, tightly encasing the Lizard Skull Giant Demons' massive bodies. The Lizard Skull Giant Demons entangled by the vines struggled incessantly, but no matter how much they struggled, it was futile. The dark green vines emitted a faint glow, and the Lizard Skull Giant Demons' life force was rapidly draining away. In just a few seconds, those terrifying Lizard Skull Giant Demons were reduced to mere corpses.
When the Lizard Skull Giant Demons were completely dead, the dark green vines released their corpses, then moved towards the rest of the Lizard Skull Giant Demon horde. The corpses of the dead Lizard Skull Giant Demons vanished from their original spots in the blink of an eye.
"Roar..."
The sudden change caused panic among the Lizard Skull Giant Demon horde. In the wild, the law of the jungle is nature's rule, and sensing danger is a demon's instinct. Even terrifying Lizard Skull Giant Demons would feel fear.
