Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Escape from Heaven

In a panic, Su Lie forced himself to calm down and shouted, "Everyone, don’t panic! There’s not too many of these Bone-Eroding Worms. Follow me, set up a formation, and kill them!"

Immediately, he and the Su family took out the Magic Artifacts Lin Chen had lent them, channeling their power into them to form a formation.

The Su family martial artist at the back was so panicked that he lagged behind. As he was forming the formation, he was instantly caught by the Bone-Eroding Worms and perished within moments, reduced to a pile of white bones.

Seeing the scene, Su Lie and the others had no time to mourn, quickly increasing their power input. They were all too aware that if they couldn’t fend off the Bone-Eroding Worms, they would soon follow in the footsteps of that Su family martial artist.

Fortunately, despite their fear, they hadn’t lost their composure enough to fail at the formation setup. Just as the Bone-Eroding Worms were about to attack, they succeeded in completing the formation.

The Defensive Array managed to withstand the Bone-Eroding Worms’ attack, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. Their ability to resist the Bone-Eroding Worms entirely depended on the Magic Artifacts Lin Chen had loaned them, and on the formation he had taught them. The more people contributed to the formation, the stronger its defensive power became.

However, after setting up the formation, Su Lie and the others realized that more and more Bone-Eroding Worms were pouring out of the passage ahead.

Exchanging glances, Su Lie and the others slowly and cautiously began to move towards the passage they came from, intending to escape.

Although the current formation could temporarily resist the Bone-Eroding Worms, as their numbers kept increasing, everyone was convinced that it wouldn’t be long before the Defensive Array was breached, spelling certain death for them.

As Su Lie and the others fled towards the exit, the Bone-Eroding Worms pursued them relentlessly and even began attacking other martial artists around them.

Those martial artists had no Defensive Array like Su Lie and the others, and could only flee in panic.

Shi Lijian was among the chaotic crowd. The four people he had brought from Tan Shui Village had already lost two, leaving only him and his second brother Shi Zhongshan struggling to survive.

Just now, he and his second brother had been in Gu Yong’an’s team, but when Lin Chen sensed something was amiss, he immediately sent a voice transmission urging him to escape with the people from Tan Shui Village and never look back, as those Spirit Stone opportunities weren’t theirs to covet.

Shi Lijian understood this. He did as he was told, and in the end, only he and Shi Zhongshan survived out of the four.

The reason they were able to survive was entirely because, during their escape, they passed by Lin Chen, who bestowed upon them a trace of Thunder Light. The Bone-Eroding Worms were highly fearful of this Thunder Light, which allowed them to escape.

Shi Lijian couldn’t help but feel secretly fearful. Fortunately, he hadn’t completely obeyed Gu Yong’an’s orders to bring all those in Tan Shui Village with cultivation above the Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm, or else Tan Shui Village might have been completely wiped out.

At the same time, Shi Lijian thought to himself that when he returned, he must tell his daughter to find ways to win over Lin Chen, and preferably make him stay in Tan Shui Village as her husband.

But how could such a thought be realized? Lin Chen was destined not to be bound by a small Tan Shui Village...

Before long, Shi Lijian and Shi Zhongshan encountered Su Lie and the others, and they immediately regrouped. Shi Lijian and Shi Zhongshan took out their magic treasures to merge their power with Su Lie and the others, reinforcing Su Lie’s formation.

Then, everyone put in all their effort to fend off the Bone-Eroding Worms, fleeing with all their might without looking back, finally escaping outside the Cave Heaven Stone Mansion.

The Cave Heaven Stone Mansion seemed to have some sort of restriction, keeping the Bone-Eroding Worms confined within its bounds and unable to escape.

Some Bone-Eroding Worms acted instinctively, trying to escape through the Cave Heaven Stone Mansion’s door like Su Lie and the others, but crashed into an invisible barrier and turned to dust instantly.

After escaping the Cave Heaven Stone Mansion, Su Lie and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. Staring at the mansion’s door, they were left feeling shaken.

"What on earth happened in there?" Su Lie asked Shi Lijian and Shi Zhongshan, looking at them.

Since Su Lie and the others had later been separated from Lin Chen and didn’t have the chance to delve deeper into the passages, they were unaware of what had transpired inside.

However, given the present events, it was clear enough to everyone that something must have gone wrong in the Stone Chamber.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lijian and Shi Zhongshan explained the situation inside.

After listening, Su Lie and the others immediately felt that the treasures they had obtained weren’t so appealing anymore. Compared to the endless Spirit Crystals inside, the treasures they got were trivial.

Still, that place was fraught with danger, and even martial artists with higher cultivation than theirs had perished in it. To have escaped with their lives was already fortunate, and they wouldn’t dare be greedy.

While Su Lie and the others fled the Cave Heaven Stone Mansion, Lin Chen and the others continued their fierce battle with the Bone-Eroding Worms.

Gazing at the sinister Bone-Eroding Worms, Lin Chen did not deliberately use the Power of thunder and lightning to eliminate them, though it could save many martial artists’ lives.

But coming here was their own choice, and Lin Chen had no personal ties to them. Why should he expend his own power to save them?

Allowing them a moment’s respite with extensive Thunder Light was already an act of significant mercy.

In the distance, Su Dongyu’s expression was extremely grim. He and Su He were increasingly losing to the Bone-Eroding Worms and finally had no choice but to use the Black Bottle given by Ye Wuyan to release the poison gas within to combat the worms.

However, the power attribute of the Bone-Eroding Worms was similar to the poison in the Black Bottle, greatly reducing its effectiveness against them, and depleting the poison gas inside the bottle significantly.

Thus, Su Dongyu ultimately chose to save himself, outright ignoring the continued protection of Su He.

"Damn servant, dying for your master is righteous. For protecting me, you have at least died for a worthy cause."

Su Dongyu looked at Su He, saw him trying to draw near and lure the Bone-Eroding Worms over, and immediately showed a ruthless expression. He kicked Su He away, and instantly numerous Bone-Eroding Worms swarmed over, engulfing Su He in moments.

Su He’s heart was filled with infinite regret, realizing too late that his loyalty had led to such a fate.
