Chapter 1913: Encountering Evil Demons on the Road
"I can't compare to the senior brothers. Don't wrongly accuse me," Ouyang Tianyun denied his bad behavior with a thick skin.
Zhu Yanyi sighed and took out five or six recliners or rocking chairs. "I prepared these. Pick what you want. There are no more." She then rocked her own chair, closed her eyes, and decided to ignore everyone else to avoid feeling discouraged.
Yi Yunfei chuckled and distributed all the recliners and rocking chairs Zhu Yanyi had brought out. She kept one recliner for herself, placed it at the front of the flying boat, and lay down.
Actually, everyone had prepared such items to some extent. They just liked to tease each other.
Those who didn't get Zhu Yanyi's chairs had to take out their own resting tools and lie down.
On the flying boat of the Sage Academy, almost everyone was lying down to rest.
Fortunately, people on other flying boats didn't notice this. Otherwise, seeing the Sage Academy's attitude, they would surely marvel at their boldness.
In fact, they knew there wouldn't be too many dangers along the way. The real danger lay in the early stage of entering the Black Demon Secret Realm. Without an adaptation period in a new environment, things could easily go wrong. It might not necessarily be an ambush by evil demons in the Black Demon Secret Realm, but could also be due to acclimatization issues.
Regardless, the most important thing was to rest well. Only then would their spirits improve, allowing them to face the upcoming challenges.
As expected, the Sage Academy's concerns came true. After traveling for about five or six days, they broke through the barrier of the Black Demon Secret Realm and entered it. Except for the students of the Sage Academy, students from other academies began to suffer from various acclimatization problems.
This was mainly because the blood scent in this plane was very heavy. Moreover, there was a faint resentment mixed with the blood scent.
Zhu Yanyi noticed this as soon as she entered the secret realm. Last time, when she and Yan Aohan came to look for Zhan Diting, she hadn't noticed this.
Of course, it might have existed then too. But perhaps because Yan Aohan was by her side, he shielded her from the uncomfortable atmosphere.
"The smell here is really depressing," Jian Feiyan said, frowning slightly.
Zhu Yanyi casually took out a spirit fruit, took a bite, and then said slowly, "The smell here is indeed bad. It shows that the number of evil demons here is nauseatingly large."
"Why do you think there are many evil demons?" Jian Feiyan asked.
Zhu Yanyi pointed forward. "Aren't they coming?"
Indeed, not far ahead, a group of pitch-black figures appeared. Their faces were unclear, wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, and black mist emanated from their bodies. They were indeed a group of evil demons.
"Hehe, interesting. We can fight right after entering the Black Demon Secret Realm. Not bad. Good luck," Jian Feiyan said, drawing her sword. It was clear she had already made up her mind about these evil demons.
"The luck is indeed good," Zhu Yanyi looked at the sky. "Since the luck is good, let's go down and fight. It seems we can't avoid this battle."
Elder Wu listened to Zhu Yanyi, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, let's go down. Kill!"
This shout of "Kill" was particularly loud. People on other flying boats hadn't figured out what was happening when they saw the students of the Sage Academy jump off the boat and rush towards the evil demons.
Killing was the only thing to do at this moment. Actions unsuitable for other times were very appropriate here.
Zhu Yanyi understood this well, so she went up directly.
Of course, Zhu Yanyi didn't like using too much force, so using medicine was the best option.
After applying the medicine, the evil demons fell in batches, turning into yellow mud water that seeped into the ground.
"This method is good. It saves time and effort," others saw this and decided to follow Zhu Yanyi's example by using medicine.
Although their techniques were not as skilled as Zhu Yanyi's, they were all healers. Even if their medicinal skills were not highly advanced, they still had some means compared to ordinary people. So, the evil demons coming towards them fell in batches.
Until the sun seemed to be disappearing, the evil demons hurriedly left.
After the evil demons left, the students of the Sage Academy tidied up slightly and returned to the flying boat, heading towards their rest base.
The students on the other four flying boats watched this scene in silence.
Entering this place had given them a big blow. First, they couldn't adapt to the air here. Seeing the energetic appearance of the Sage Academy students, their own sickly looks were simply not comparable.
Secondly, when they saw the evil demons, they were thinking about how to escape, while the Sage Academy students rushed forward, seemingly excited.
In every aspect, they found themselves inferior to the students of the Sage Academy. Just thinking about this made them feel an indescribable depression.
The Sage Academy side didn't have such thoughts. They didn't know what these people were thinking. Even if they did, they would at most comment that only people with too much energy would think about comparing themselves with others.
Soon, they arrived at the Sage Academy's base. At this moment, most people resting in the base came out because they knew that new members were arriving on the flying boat.
Yi Yunfei led his junior brothers and sisters down, and people from other academies also went down.
Elder Chen smiled and said, "Knowing you were coming, we had already prepared tents and assigned rest areas for you. Everyone rest first. We can talk tomorrow."
Guan Feng nodded slightly. "In that case, we will trouble you."
Yes, Guan Feng came this time mainly to personally see the situation here. Only then could he proceed with the next steps, so he personally led the team.
Elder Chen had someone lead the teachers and students of the other four academies to their places, while he himself led Elder Wu and the ten new students of the Sage Academy to his tent to rest.
"So, you had a big battle as soon as you entered," Elder Chen said, surprised by the ferocity of the ten new students after hearing from Elder Wu about the situation after entering.
Elder Wu nodded. "Yes, we had a big battle as soon as we entered. If it hadn't gotten dark and the evil demons slipped away, they might have been having even more fun."
"Fun? Hehe, they are all the same bunch. Every evil demon thinks it's fun. Bold enough. Truly worthy of coming from our Sage Academy," Elder Chen praised.
Elder Wu said beside him, "Elder Chen, don't praise these kids too much. They don't know their limits. If something happens, they won't worry."
