Chapter 959: Abandonment (Please Subscribe)_1

And these bats, sensing that the disciple had not fallen into the magma, increased the frequency of their wing flapping…

The swarm of the dark bats surged like a blanket from the sky towards the disciple standing on the broken stones…

The latter's pupils shrank suddenly as he thought, "It's time to give it my all!"

In the next moment, he drew out his personal sword, which emitted a cold gleam, and started to leap at an extremely fast pace…

He was very clear!

If he were to be entangled by this bat swarm, what awaited him would be certain death!

After the spine-chilling bat swarm missed its target, it relocked onto the disciple's position and relentlessly pursued him…

It had suddenly turned into a chase for survival!

…

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who was at the back, saw the disciple pulling out his personal sword, and his eyes suddenly flashed with brightness, "That's right, I can use a treasure!"

Although most treasures required the use of spiritual power to activate, there were also treasures that could be used without the need to channel spiritual power!!

In that case, one could withstand the bats' sonic assaults, maybe even ignore them completely!

Probably the brother mentioned by these Wei Family Disciples, who survived this place, must have relied on the treasures they carried to get through!

As for the disciples who died, they were those without a protective treasure, yet attempted to force their way across!

The rest of the Wei Family Disciples were somewhat dumbstruck, their gaze fixed on the horde of bats that sent shivers down one's spine, feeling a profound chill in the depths of their hearts…

One disciple said with an ugly expression, "Did we just enter a bat den? There are so many of them, capable of sonic attacks no less; I fear no one could withstand this!"

Another disciple spoke with a tone of regret, "I think this guy is done for! Without the boost of spiritual power, there's no way to get through here!"

"Don't speak such ominous words, do you really want to stay here forever? I sure don't!"

"What does it matter what we want? There's not only an absence of spiritual power here, but also lava with terrifying temperatures, and countless bats releasing sonic attacks, not to mention what we might encounter later... it's simply a slow death!"

"Exactly! We don't have the advantage of time, location, or people; it's impossible for us to survive this!"

Before they could continue their conversation, a scream sounded from ahead…

The disciple pursued by the bat swarm stumbled in his hurried defense, falling directly onto the broken stones…

His left hand happened to touch the gray-black lava, and it was faintly visible that his entire arm began to turn pitch-black…

In desperation, determined to survive, he clenched his teeth, gripped his personal sword in his right hand, and struck his own left arm...

With the swing of a hand and the fall of a blade, the entirely blackened left arm spurted out a pool of fresh blood as it was severally chopped off, flung into the air, and burst into violent flames…

Despite the bold move to save his own life by severing his arm, due to the obstruction of these dense bats, and having just lost a limb…

The disciple did not last long; his entire body fell into the lava below, his flesh immediately erupted into black flames, and amidst the horrifying screams, he turned to ash…

Once the bat swarm sensed that his life had completely disappeared, they flapped their wings and returned to the darkest place at the top to hide…

Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, his expression unchanged…

Although he had died, at least he provided some reference for himself...

Seeing his outcome, the other Wei Family Disciples all sighed and said, "As expected, he couldn't hold out, these bat swarms are too much trouble! Otherwise, there might have really been a chance to get through."

"This won't do, what if we all find a way to kill all those bats?!"

"What way? We don't have any spiritual power left in our bodies, it's already good enough that we aren't instantly bitten into mincemeat by these bats!"

"Exactly, plus as soon as these bats sense that the breath of the people wanting to pass through has disappeared, they hide again, they must be intelligent!"

Thereupon, they turned their gazes to Xu Sheng, their tone full of earnest pleading, "Brother Xu, do you have a way? Now we can only rely on you!"

While speaking, they clearly forgot how they had berated Xu Sheng before...

Who knew, Xu Sheng merely glanced at them indifferently and said coldly, "I don't have a way either! Fend for yourselves."

At this point in time, he had to abandon these Wei Family Disciples...

With this thought, he calmly selected several treasures from his Storage Cosmos Bag...

These items were specifically given to him by Ling Qingruo the day before entering the Secret Realm!

It can be said, to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit, she had also paid a great price!

The eyes of the Wei Family Disciples were instantly attracted, their faces filled with boundless surprise, "Those are various protective treasures! How does Brother Xu have so many?"

"Brother Xu, quickly give us these treasures, with them, maybe we can get through here!"

"But don't these treasures require spiritual power to activate? They're useless here!"

"Look carefully! The treasures in Brother Xu's hands aren't emitting any spirit force fluctuation, they don't need to be activated at all!!"

"Quickly, quickly! Brother Xu, as long as you distribute these treasures to us, we'll definitely be able to get through here!"

In their eyes, a color of greed gradually emerged, in such a situation, having a protective treasure was equivalent to having an extra life!

If they could get all of them, there might be a chance to leave this place!!

Hearing this, Xu Sheng found it slightly amusing and calmly said, "Give you the treasures? Why should I?"

When they heard this rhetorical question, the Wei Family Disciples were all stunned...

Then displeasure flushed their cheeks, "Brother Xu, aren't you here to help us on the Family Head's orders? Then these treasures must also be prepared for all of us!"

"Yes! And I've never seen these kinds of treasures before, they must be extremely precious! I didn't expect the Family Head would be willing to part with so many treasures."

"Brother Xu, no more nonsense, hurry and give us the treasures, and then we can quickly leave this damn place!"

Xu Sheng glanced at them, his expression still unchanged as he said, "I'm sorry, these treasures were not given to me by the Wei Family Patriarch, so... I cannot give them to you."

Upon hearing this, the displeasure on the faces of the Wei Family Disciples grew even stronger...

One of the Disciples said coldly, "Brother Xu, what do you mean? Are you trying to find an excuse to keep these treasures for yourself?"

Instantly, their gazes toward Xu Sheng became incredibly hostile...
