Chapter 87 Survival 

Lu Chen's initial reaction was to turn around and leave, preparing to stagger away calmly. Anyway, Kunlun Mountain was so big, and the girl Yi Xin didn't seem to see him, so he just skipped her and might never see her again. It's just that the scream that followed was indeed a little scary, as if Yi Xin had suddenly seen the most terrifying and scary thing in the world, and the scream was a bit heart-piercing.

Lu Chen stood still, feeling a little helpless in his heart. At that moment, he thought about the part of walking with Yi Xin in the Land of Confusion a few days ago from the beginning to the end, and muttered in his mouth: "Isn't it? I don't remember doing anything to you? Did you see that I was so scared..."

It's just that when he turned his head to look at Yi Xin, he frowned suddenly, but when Yi Xin walked out of the forest, suddenly another figure ran out from behind her, grabbing her hand at once.

When the figure that appeared behind appeared in the sight of everyone, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd of handyman disciples who slowly gathered around to watch the excitement, and even Lu Chen, who had always been calm, changed his face slightly, and at the same time instantly understood why Yi Xin made such a "tragic" scream.

It was a man, wearing the uniform of the Kunlun Sect disciples, but his face was completely destroyed, at least a dozen shocking scars remained on his face, his facial features were horrible, one ear was missing, his nose was missing, There was also a big gash in his chin, and a horrible scar across his left eye, leaving a patch of red flesh, and it looked like the eyeball was also destroyed.

This face looked like it had been slashed countless times by a sharp knife, or had been eaten by a terrifying beast. It had no human form at all. It was hard to imagine that someone who had been so seriously injured could still survive the catastrophe.

It was a clear daylight at this moment, and under the bright sky, the people watching all felt a bit of chill. Some timid female disciples even closed their eyes and turned away, not daring to look at that person directly.

And this terrifying face like a hellish ghost suddenly appeared behind Yi Xin. After grabbing her, he leaned towards her suddenly, letting out an angry growl. When she raised her eyes, that face was already at a hand distance. Being so close, it was no wonder that she let out such a shrill scream in terror.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

But what surprised Lu Chen was that Yi Xin didn't faint from fright, but screamed in terror, struggling desperately, trying to break free from the palm of the monster man, and at the same time screaming repeatedly.

"Shut up!" The man with a terrifying face roared, but it couldn't make Yi Xin quiet down, on the contrary, she struggled even more fiercely.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the people around, there was another burst of excitement. A beautiful girl was bullied by such a monster, and no one could stand it anymore. Immediately, seven or eight people came over and shouted to stop.

Lu Chen also took two steps forward. No matter what, Yi Xin also had some friendship with him, and at the same time, he also had some doubts that arose in his heart. After joining the Kunlun School for a month, he gradually became more familiar with this famous school. He had learned a little bit, and although it couldn't be said that the General Immortal Realm of the gods was as perfect as in the legends, the Kunlun School was indeed a place that respected the rules. Generally speaking, it was impossible for any open bullying to occur on Kunlun Mountain.

But there was obviously something wrong with the scene in front of him. Just when Lu Chen was hesitating whether he should step forward to help, he suddenly heard Yi Xin yelling with tears in her voice: "Let go, Senior Brother He! I beg you, don't do this……"

Lu Chen's body shook, and he immediately looked at the man intently. Sure enough, after looking carefully, he could vaguely see the appearance of the handsome Kunlun disciple he had seen in Crescent* City that day from the little remaining outline. 

He Gang... Didn't he already die on Heijia* Mountain in the Land of Confusion?

That day, the scene of a large group of terrifying black jackals swarming on Heijia Mountain was still fresh in Lu Chen's memory. Later, when he saw He Gang's face again, those clear and terrifying marks, like the scene left by the torture of sharp claws and terrible animal teeth, Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a little bit cold in his heart.

Yi Xin was crying and screaming in panic, and the handyman disciples next to him obviously didn't know He Gang, so they surrounded him with righteous indignation.

But He Gang seemed to be in a very excited and weird mood, and he didn't flinch at all under the crowd watching, and even glared angrily at the people around him with terrifying eyes.

Seeing that the scene was suddenly tense and about to explode, suddenly, a loud shout came from behind everyone.

"Stop, what are you trying to do!"

This shout was full of momentum and loud, and instantly suppressed all other voices. After a while, only to see a tall man walking quickly to the middle, first glanced at He Gang and Yi Xin, his expression slightly sullen, but did not attack, and then looked at the surrounding crowd in a blink of an eye, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone back away! What are you doing here, do you want to rebel?"

Standing in the crowd, Lu Chen glanced at this person, and saw that he had thick eyebrows and a square face, but he was a disciple sent by the Kunlun Hundred Herb Hall Hall to manage the labor in the Spiritual field, named Zhou Kui.

After all, almost all of the miscellaneous disciples were newcomers who didn’t know anything about practice, and planting spiritual fields still required a little skill, so Hundred Herb Hall often sent some disciples down, about every hundred miscellaneous disciple there would be an official disciple in charge of the disciples, and at the same time, he would teach planting tips and some of the most superficial and basic cultivation methods.

Zhou Kui was such a person. Those who could get such an errand were basically in the foundation building stage, so in the Kunlun School, he could also be regarded as an elite disciple who had entered the hall.

On weekdays, all the handyman disciples were naturally respectful to Zhou Kui. Although they only called him their senior brother, in reality he was a father like Teacher for them, and they dared not disobey him easily. It's just that today's scene really made people a little angry, and a bold person in the crowd yelled, loudly saying: "Senior brother Zhou, it's not that we want to make trouble, it's because that person is bullying our fellow apprentices in broad daylight!"

Zhou Kui's face was as heavy as water, and he turned around slowly, glanced at He Gang's hand that was still holding on to Yi Xin's wrist, snorted, and said, "Junior Brother He, this isn't good for you?"

Facing Zhou Kui, a disciple of Hundred Herb Hall who had a foundation-building stage, He Gang obviously lost his momentum, but he still raised his head and gritted his teeth and shouted: "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to chat with Junior Sister Yi , what did I do wrong?"

Zhou Kui's eyes fell on Yi Xin's beautiful but tear-stained face, and there seemed to be a trace of sympathy in his eyes, but he still sighed and said, "Junior Sister Yi, is that so?"

Yi Xin struggled hard, maybe Zhou Kui was by her side, He Gang finally didn't dare to use force anymore, so she pulled back her arm, and there was already an obvious red mark on her wrist. Afterwards, Yi Xin glanced at Zhou Kui, with a complicated look on her face, like fear, regret, and at a loss, but in the end, she slowly lowered his head, replied softly, and said, "Yes. "

The handyman disciples around who were watching suddenly burst into an uproar, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, while Lu Chen, who was in the crowd, frowned and took a deep look at Yi Xin.
