Chapter 419: Chapter 141: Survive!

Chapter 141 [Survive!] (6800)

Chen Yan was left in shock by a single sentence from this man named Du Li, standing there dumbfounded.

As Du Li saw Chen Yan staying silent and was about to say something else, they suddenly heard a roar from behind.

"Damn slave, slacking off!"

Both of them were startled. Chen Yan looked over and saw a massive, burly monster emerging from the forest by Du Li’s work area.

It wielded a long whip, striding towards them with an angry roar.

Du Li’s face instantly changed. He quickly turned around, about to speak, but the monster had already rushed in front of him, lifting a foot to kick Du Li.

Du Li’s eyes sharpened. He suddenly moved his feet swiftly, turning at a precise angle, and slipped past the monster’s foot.

The monster’s kick hit empty air, and Du Li quickly retreated, repeatedly saying, "I’ve finished chopping the trees..."

Whoosh!

The response to Du Li was a whip!

Seeing the whip coming towards him, Du Li, helplessly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, rapidly retreated to dodge. But having lost his mana, although he retreated quickly, the monster’s whip was even faster.

With a snap, Du Li was whipped and sent flying, landing on the ground with a bloody mark on his face. The whip mark stretched from his face down to his chest, even tearing open his fur clothes on his upper body.

His face was even left raw and bloody!

Du Li let out a cry, clenched his fists tightly, and shouted, "Die!!"

Unable to endure any longer, he sprang up from the ground, did a flip over to the pile of chopped trees nearby, picked up a log with both hands, and charged at the monster.

The monster laughed wildly, watching the log coming towards it, yet it just took a step forward, reaching out with one hand to grab the log!

The monster’s fingers were thick and long, with four knuckles bent, firmly grasping the log, and with a squeeze, dug into it.

Du Li shouted, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push the log forward even a bit.

The monster laughed heartily, twisting the log with one hand to throw Du Li off, then took a step forward, towering above as it raised the whip, lashing down towards Du Li!

With several lashes, Du Li was already sent rolling on the ground, though he seemed quite resolute, his clothes shredded, skin ripped and bleeding profusely, yet he just hugged his head and rolled without uttering a single cry.

After whipping a few times, the monster snorted fiercely, but then turned to look at Chen Yan: "And you!"

Chen Yan widened his eyes and began to step back.

"You talked to my slave! Made him, slack off!"

The monster’s eyes locked onto Du Li, looking ferocious, yet with a hint of mockery.

Chen Yan instantly understood in his heart; it just wanted to bully him for fun!

The monster raised its whip to strike, but Chen Yan had already started to step back quickly before it could lift the whip.

With a snap, the whip came down, but Chen Yan had already retreated behind a tree.

The whip struck the tree, instantly shattering the bark, sending pieces flying everywhere.

One had to say, this strange tree was indeed sturdy; its bark shattered, but the trunk remained completely unmoved.

However, Chen Yan’s face had already changed.

The force of the whip, as it passed by, made his face feel a slight sting.

Moreover, how sturdy was this strange tree? When he first began, even putting all his strength into a swing only cut through the bark.

This monster’s whip, however, shattered the bark!

If this whip landed on him, he’d be seriously injured if not dead!

It... wants my life?!

Whoosh!

The second whip was already coming down, and Chen Yan retreated once more!

He had just seen how Du Li was beaten; Du Li’s body technique was quite proficient, with clearly advanced footwork, yet he couldn’t resist this monster at all.

Chen Yan wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront it head-on.

He could only continue retreating, using the strange trees in the forest as obstacles to dodge.

After dodging three to five whips in succession, the monster came closer and closer, its eyes filled with brutal glee, staring malevolently at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan felt anxious, glancing around.

Around them, quite a few human slaves were watching, and some other monsters were running over from afar, all with mocking expressions, surrounding at a distance to watch the commotion, with some monsters letting out weird howls, seemingly jeering for amusement.

Finally, a sharp scream emerged from among the monsters, and a slender figure forcefully pushed through the crowd and rushed in from the outside.

The female monster, with her long legs pushing off the ground powerfully, ran and leapt swiftly, landing swiftly between Chen Yan and the monster.

She spread her arms wide, taking on the posture of a mother hen protecting her chicks, blocking in front of Chen Yan with a face full of menace and defiance, baring her teeth at the whip-bearing monstrous creature.

In terms of build, she was a head shorter, yet she roared with all her might, refusing to step back.

The whip-wielding monster seemed stunned for a moment, but only for a moment before its face twisted into a cruel grin, laughing loudly at the female monster.

"Little bug, are you looking for death?"

The gigantic monster laughed wildly, swinging the whip violently in the air twice, creating snapping sounds.

Chen Yan, standing behind the female monster, suddenly had a revelation, as he realized a situation he had previously overlooked in his haste.
