After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 298 - 238: We’re Willing to Die to Prove Our Resolve (Part 2)

Chapter 298: Chapter 238: We’re Willing to Die to Prove Our Resolve (Part 2)

Afterward, he saw Gu An swinging his axe down.

The space seemed to twist for a moment, and then he saw Gu An’s arm also appeared twisted.

This logging...

Ordinary people really can’t do it.

Gu An did not pay attention to what was behind him, but focused on how the axe embedded deeply into the trunk like chopping a normal tree.

"It’s easier to chop than I expected, but..."

He felt his arm, where a twist had emanated just now, and if it weren’t for his Innate Strength, he might have sustained some minor injuries.

There was no Warm Current, but it felt like there should have been one.

After that, Gu An continued logging.

One stroke after another.

When the tree was half cut, the Warm Current finally appeared.

Magic increased by one.

Seeing this, Gu An was ecstatic, it had finally come.

And it was only half a tree.

This tree was not a Sect’s tree, which took half a day for one.

It was like a normal tree.

Chopping down several large ones in a day was no problem.

It just depended on whether he could withstand the backlash.

After that, one stroke after another.

One tree fell, two trees fell, three trees fell.

The numbers kept increasing.

[Magic: 7/50]

...

[Magic: 8/50]

...

[Hard Cultivation: 13/100]

...

[Hard Cultivation: 14/100]

Until the evening, when the seventh tree fell.

Gu An received feedback from the Ring of Destiny.

[Yesterday at noon, the Night Barrier sensed the presence of Primordial Spirits, began to expand, and enveloped you, then the Dark Night Forest began to expand, and after you chopped it down, it stopped expanding. In order to devour the Primordial Spirit and restore the Barrier’s power, the forest will use an underground black hole to swallow people.

In the middle of the forest, a normal small tree is extending its power to swallow you first.

After all, you stand in front of the forest, being the first to notice whether a black hole leaves the forest and identify its location.]

Gu An, while logging, was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected the proximity of Primordial Spirits to cause a change in the Barrier.

Additionally, a tree in the forest had set its sights on him.

This matter was quite troublesome.

Black holes could appear at any time.

However, being able to detect it was also a good thing.

After that, Gu An continued logging.

The physical damage was significant, but his cultivation was sufficient, and he could continue for a while longer.

Additionally.

As he logged, the forest seemed to be retreating.

The line was already half a zhang away from the forest.

As he continued logging, more trees fell.

The numbers also kept increasing.

But the black hole had not yet appeared.

At the landslide site.

In one day’s time, the remaining seventeen people rested for a while, but they had not seen Gu An return.

"What is that person doing?" someone asked Lin Rou and the others.

Lin Rou honestly informed them and even speculated.

Thinking that Gu An was logging.

The people heard and were somewhat incredulous, but the cave was not the open outside space.

Twenty or thirty zhang did not allow for a clear view.

The line of sight was obstructed.

"If it really is such trees, it won’t be long before we have to go logging," someone said.

The speaker was a man around thirty years old.

Regarding someone who had casually killed three fellow Sect members, he did not believe the other party had such good intentions.

It was probably just to win their favor, making them dig the passage properly.

"Maybe Senior Brother Gu is indeed better than you think?" Lin Rou said.

"How good he is, we can see. Killing people is too much, we don’t even know what’s good about it," the man said as he looked at Lin Rou, "And just the three of you went over. What if he made you some promise to make us sacrificial?"

Upon hearing this, some people nodded secretly.

It was indeed possible.

It was the kind of tree that could twist people’s bodies.

As disciples of the Cangmu Sect.

They knew more about the backlash of Spirit Trees.

Even severe pain was putting it lightly.

So, fellow Sect members who had drawn their swords to kill yesterday, suddenly working hard for them today.

No way.

And it was not directly from the person, but conveyed by those who went there.

This is more credible when it is spoken from the mouths of others.

"We aren’t fools, we can distinguish, Junior Sister Lin better speak less, to avoid angering the crowd," the man said with a chuckle.

"Senior Brother Xu, you...." Lin Rou felt a bit indignant.

Huang Yunshan watched the crowd, remaining silent.

He had no intentions to explain, especially since Gu An had not asked him to.

So he just had to do his supervisory duty well.

He always felt that these people seemed not very smart.

Or rather, he failed to recognize the current situation.

Is it important what kind of person Gu An is now?

What’s important is that he definitely wants to get out.

Since he wants to get out, listening to the other party always presents a chance.

Huang Yunshan pondered for a moment and felt that perhaps the other party was not wrong, after all, they were smarter.

And the reason he obeyed was naturally because he was very clear about his own cognition.

He himself had no ideas and was not very clever.

In the end, he shrugged his shoulders.

He turned around to look for Gu An, and when he arrived, he found that the woods had actually moved backward.

And many trees had fallen around.

However, it seemed there were no issues with the people.

Maybe the backlash wasn’t that severe?

He no longer thought about it but relayed what he had just heard.

Gu An stopped his logging actions and said calmly, "Just let them continue their work."

Huang Yuntian nodded, without asking further.

Regarding the situation with the woods, he didn’t delve deeper either.

Instead, he went back to continue supervising.

As the days went by day by day.

The number of trees Gu An chopped down continued to increase.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty.

A week passed.

In total, fifty trees had fallen.

These trees were piled up on one side.

During this time, Huang Yunshan came over three times.

All three times, he reported some disputes arising there.

Because the people digging the tunnel couldn’t move the rocks anymore.

A thirty-something Senior Brother Xu thought that at this time, people with higher cultivation should come and try.

And the one with the highest cultivation was naturally Gu An.

Lin Rou said that Gu An was logging and couldn’t leave.

However, the other party didn’t believe it, thinking that Gu An had no intention of going out and just wanted to trap them inside.

The so-called logging was all lies.

Who knows, he might be obtaining an opportunity inside.

Due to Gu An’s absence, there had already been quite a lot of disputes outside, and they even began to strike.

"A strike?" Gu An was slightly surprised.

The people arguing didn’t bother him.

They could question, but they couldn’t strike.

Though he still didn’t know why, they must continue digging.

There must be something underneath.

Otherwise, why would the Barrier suddenly appear?

The thing was most likely underneath.

"Yes, they are on strike, a total of six people," Huang Yunshan said.

Gu An looked at him and said, "Go back and tell them to resume digging, not working means death."

Huang Yunshan nodded.

Gu An sighed, not rushing to continue logging.

But he couldn’t leave here.

Black holes would appear; these days, he had already encountered black holes thirteen times.

Staying here, he could sense them.

Even stop the black holes from targeting people outside.

Once he left, the black holes might suddenly go out and swallow others.

Then, there would be no one left.

The problem would be bigger.

On the other side.

Huang Yunshan returned and relayed Gu An’s words.

"Not working means death?" Senior Brother Xu looked at Huang Yunshan, emotionally uttering, "We don’t have any demands, we just want to get out.

We just hope that Junior Brother Gu, being the strongest, could try that rock.

If it’s broken through, then we can get out.

Using my death to exchange for everyone’s chance to escape.

I’m willing to die.

Just hope that Junior Brother Gu can come personally, so I can die in peace."

The five people beside him also followed, saying, "We are not unwilling to work, we just hope that the master could come and try to see if we can get out.

We are willing to die to show our resolve."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, some appreciating Senior Brother Xu’s courage.

They indeed wanted to see if Gu An could split open that rock.

Of course, some people felt that this event was pressuring Gu An to admit his mistake.

But whether he tried or not, he would earn people’s criticism.

Lin Rou and others sighed inwardly.

The next day.

When Lin Rou had rested well, she suddenly heard screams.

Everyone immediately looked over.

They saw her pointing at the ground, her face filled with horror.

Only then did everyone notice that, unknowingly, there were four bodies lying on the ground.

It was Senior Brother Xu and the others.

And next to them, only two words were left—buried.

In an instant, everyone’s hearts were filled with fear.

In their dreams, they never thought that Gu An would suddenly come and kill people while they were dreaming.

Waking up to see four bodies was much more terrifying than seeing him kill in front of them.

In an instant, no one else had other ideas, they all picked up their picks and started digging.
