Chapter 62 Not giving up until reaching the Yellow River, notifying the school.
Lu Yuan knew the plot, and he tried his best to prevent it from repeating itself, leading the team back safely.
They were in a two-story house, a place where there were no signs of demons dwelling, making it relatively safe.
"Everyone, take a break for a while, then we'll go to the monitoring collection point," Lu Yuan said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Their mission here is to go to various gathering points and collect information about the demons in the vicinity.
Just as they were resting, a hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from the other side.
Two people covered in blood appeared before them.
"Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan..." Everyone was shocked to see the miserable state of the two men.
"Quickly treat us," Xu Dalong said hastily.
At this moment, Bai Tingting quickly stepped out from the crowd and cast a healing spell on the two of them.
Xu Dalong is alright, but Liao Mingxuan was stabbed through the body; it's uncertain whether he can survive.
"Save Liao Mingxuan first." Xu Dalong slumped to the ground, still in a daze.
Zhao Mingyue asked, "Xu Dalong, what happened? How could you be like this?"
"As soon as we entered the building, we sensed something was wrong, and then we encountered the demons inside."
Xu Dalong recounted the process, but fortunately, they were all from prominent families and had some trump cards up their sleeves.
That's how they escaped from the encirclement of plant-based demons.
However, Liao Mingxuan was not so lucky. Even though he was wearing armored magic gear, he still couldn't withstand it and his body was still pierced.
Xu Dalong was also in bad shape; his arm was bleeding profusely, and he looked miserable and embarrassed.
"If only you had listened to Captain Lu Yuan back then," Qingqing said, shaking her head.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dalong fell silent. If he were given another chance to choose, he would definitely not go against the grain.
Seeing this, Lu Zhenghe felt a sense of relief. If he didn't have a mission, he probably would have gone with them.
Bai Tingting used magic to continuously heal Liao Mingxuan, but she still couldn't stop his wounds.
After a long while, she sat down, her face pale, but in the end, she could not be saved.
"I'm sorry..." Bai Tingting said helplessly.
"Liao Mingxuan, he..."
Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing covered their mouths, not expecting that someone would die so soon after entering Jinlin City.
Xu Dalong exclaimed excitedly, "Aren't you a healing mage? How come you couldn't save him?"
"His wound is too deep, and he has lost too much blood, I..." Bai Tingting was also helpless; she had already done her best.
"You have to save him..." Xu Dalong tried to grab Bai Tingting's hand, but Lu Yuan immediately blocked his way.
"I already told you this before. You insisted on acting impulsively, and you brought this result upon yourselves."
Lu Yuan looked at him and said, "Bai Tingting is a healing mage. She has been doing her best to save him, and everyone has seen that. But it is clear that there is nothing that can be done in his condition."
Xu Dalong broke down.
The person who was just bragging to him was now a corpse.
Difficult to accept.
The others seemed equally shocked by what they saw; losing one member so soon after arriving was a huge blow to them.
"This is too scary, I don't want to continue," Zhao Mingyue said fearfully.
Qingqing did the same, tightly gripping Zhao Mingyue's small hand.
Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and the others remained silent, as if they were processing the current situation.
Mu Nujiao looked at Lu Yuan, while everyone else showed signs of panic, but Lu Yuan remained calm.
Song Xia asked, "Lu Yuan, aren't you scared?"
"What's the big deal?" Lu Yuan had witnessed too many life-and-death situations while following his parents.
He was in the military camp, and every now and then he would see military mages die in the line of duty.
Therefore, death was an extremely common thing for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan calmly said, "I've seen too much death. My parents were military mages who lived in the military camp. I saw someone who was laughing and joking just the day before yesterday, and came back as a corpse."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood why Lu Yuan remained calm.
Lu Yuan continued, "I have witnessed too much death. If you, as a mage, feel fear in the face of such things, then you are probably not suited to be a mage."
Becoming a monk certainly involves facing life and death, but for them it's a challenge they haven't yet adapted to.
"Of course, I know you're not like me, so you can choose to stay or leave," Lu Yuan said, looking at them.
Everyone fell silent.
After a long pause, Mu Ningxue stepped forward and said, "I think we have two options."
Everyone looked over.
"First, we must inform the school about this and ask them to send someone over so that we can have support if we encounter danger," Mu Ningxue said, stating her first point.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that Mu Ningxue's words made sense.
If school officials came to their aid, they wouldn't be so afraid.
"Secondly, since we already have support from the school, we can complete the testing site while waiting for them to arrive," Mu Ningxue said, adding her second point.
"I support the two points Mu Ningxue made." Lu Yuan thought Mu Ningxue's suggestion was good.
At the same time, he came here to compete for first place, so of course he can't just go back like this.
As for Xu Dalong and Liao Mingxuan, he had already tried to persuade them, but some people just wouldn't give up until they were completely convinced.
I want to die.
No amount of persuasion could bring them back.
"Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, you two go and send a signal to get the school officials to come over," Lu Yuan instructed them.
"Leave it to us." Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan gripped the signal guns, preparing to leave their post.
"How about I go? I'm familiar with this." Lu Zhenghe was prepared to take on the task.
If the school officials come, it will definitely ruin my brother's plans.
Therefore, Lu Zhenghe did not want them to notify the school.
"Let them go, you stay and take care of Xu Dalong," Lu Yuan refused.
Seeing this, Lu Zhenghe could only nod helplessly, while hoping that his brother would come quickly.
Seeing that Bai Tingting wasn't doing well, Lu Yuan said, "Jiaojiao, help Bai Tingting to rest."
"Leave it to me."
Mu Nujiao helped Bai Tingting to the side to rest.
After the two sat down, Bai Tingting looked at Lu Yuan's back and said, "Jiaojiao, I really envy you for having a boyfriend like Lu Yuan."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, he's not my boyfriend."
"Huh? Aren't you two dating?" Bai Tingting asked in surprise.
"Actually, it's like this..." Mu Nujiao recounted what had happened.
"So you two were just pretending to be a couple..."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Tingting felt a sudden surge of joy, though she didn't know why.
"You seem to like him?" Mu Nujiao could tell that Bai Tingting had been very restrained the whole way, not daring to get close to Lu Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Bai Tingting's cheeks flushed red.
Seeing this, Mu Nujiao already knew that Bai Tingting had given the answer.
She just didn't know why, but she felt uneasy...
