Chapter 503: Qi Qi Seriously Injured
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Chu Hao and his three companions fell into the abyss, their descent incredibly fast.
"No good, we can't fly here!" Chu Hao's expression changed dramatically.
Even though he was a War Venerate and practiced body techniques, the abyss seemed bottomless, and falling from such a height... One must know this place was a mining vein, and spirit stones were extremely hard. The consequences of crashing into spirit stones with such immense force were unimaginable.
The War Emperors who jumped down after Chu Hao were also scared out of their wits, because, although their cultivation was a bit higher, they hadn't practiced body cultivation. In terms of resistance to beating, they were actually not much stronger than Chu Hao and his companions.
Their regrets turned their intestines green. Had they known it would be like this, they wouldn't have come down at all. Chu Hao would definitely have died from the fall, and now they too were trapped in a desperate situation.
The only hope was that there was an Earth Sea beneath the abyss.
Chu Hao spread his arms and conjured a Star Force Giant Hand, grabbing the three women. If they were to hit the ground, he would forcefully push the women upwards to alleviate some of the force of the descent. And as for himself?
With the Laws of Life circulating inside his body, as long as he wasn't killed instantly, he could recover. Moreover, his Unique Life Spring and the Flame Furnace both had the function of neutralizing alien forces, naturally including the force of this fall.
"You scoundrel, if I'm destined to die here today, I definitely want you to know—I like you!" Gu Qingcheng shouted loudly because their falling speed increased and all they could hear was the wind whistling past, so she had to shout to be heard.
"We're not going to die!" Chu Hao shouted back just as loudly, "So, don't give up on me so easily!"
"Wow, this is fun, so much fun!" the Barbaric Girl cried out, her face filled with excitement.
Chu Hao, Su Wanyue, and Gu Qingcheng were speechless. This girl was too carefree, not showing the slightest nervousness in such a situation.
"Why haven't we hit bottom yet?" Gu Qingcheng spoke after a while.
They had been falling for at least ten minutes, but they were still falling at high speed. If it weren't for their Star Force shields, the intense friction would have set their clothes on fire long ago.
Even so, they could see flames raging around the four of them, but those were kept at bay by the Star Force.
"Just how deep is this place?"
"Could it be that there's such a deep cave connected to the Earth's core?"
Chu Hao and the others were horrified at the thought. If they fell into the Earth's core, the terrifyingly high temperatures would easily burn them to ash, and this would include War Emperors and War Emperors alike; perhaps only War Gods who had comprehended the Laws could escape unscathed.
"Fat Cat, is there any way?" Chu Hao asked Fat Cat.
"No way, we're falling too fast, even my Teleportation can't negate such a massive force. This is bad; as an auspicious being of heaven and earth, am I going to die here?" Fat Cat also screamed in despair.
"What are you all afraid of?" the Barbaric Girl asked curiously.
"Haven't you noticed you can't fly?" Gu Qingcheng yelled.
"Hee hee, I can fly though!" the girl laughed.
"Really?" Chu Hao and the others were overjoyed, "Then why aren't you flying us up now?"
"Can't do it, my bloodline isn't strong enough right now. I can only turn into a Golden Giant Dragon for a short while, and I can't fly for that long," the girl shook her head.
Indeed, the girl was a descendant of the Golden Giant Dragon. If she could transform into the dragon form, naturally, she could fly—previously, she could only turn her arms dragon-like. After going to the Alien Race, she must have had great fortune, further awakening her bloodline and enabling her to transform into a full dragon, though not for a long duration.
"Then, before we crash, we'll have to rely on Yun Cai to transform into a dragon and fly," the three of them said.
"Now, let's just hope that beneath us isn't the Earth's core!"
Because the abyss was too dark and blocked Divine Sense, they couldn't see anything beyond a few meters away. Chu Hao had to keep conjuring flames to know when they were nearing the bottom.
Despite resolving a major problem, Chu Hao and the two women calmed down, while the Barbaric Girl remained carefree and cheerful from beginning to end.
Another hour later, Chu Hao habitually conjured a flame. It shot out a thousand meters and was about to go out when it suddenly exploded, spreading out in a circle.
Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Yun Cai, transform!"
This time, the girl was not fooling around; her face turned serious, and with a light shout, boom, her small body instantly turned into a ten-meter-long dragon. She stretched out her four claws, just in time to grab Chu Hao, the two women, and Fat Cat, then twisted her body and flew upwards.
But the force of their descent was truly too terrifying. Even though Yun Cai resisted with all her might, her body was still falling at high speed.
"Attack together!" Chu Hao bellowed, moving his hands swiftly, unleashing his strongest power downward to lessen the force of the fall.
Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng also launched attacks simultaneously, as it was time to fight for their lives.
Crack, crack, crack, blood splattered from Yun Cai's dragon body, the price she paid for resisting the falling force. Because they all practiced body techniques, each of them was as heavy as a mountain, and the velocity formed by gravity made this descent force far too frightening.
The ground was just within reach!
Chu Hao roared and broke free of Yun Cai's claws, pivoting to deliver a flurry of palm strikes that sent Su Wanyue and her two companions, along with Fat Cat, flying upwards while he accelerated his own descent.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
He was the first to hit the ground, followed by the three women and Fat Cat.
"Pfft—" Chu Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, shooting several meters high, feeling as if his entire body was shattered, so numb that he couldn't even twitch a little finger.
Su Wanyue and the other two women fared no better, each one coughing up blood with skin cracking open and blood gushing out, turning them completely into blood-drenched figures.
The force of such an impact was something not even the Unique Life Spring could negate. Both Chu Hao and Su Wanyue were gravely injured. Naturally, Chu Hao took the worst of it, as he practically sacrificed himself in the last moment, reducing the impact on Su Wanyue and her companions by several times, but all that force was transferred onto him.
All four were breathing heavily, none able to move, feeling as if every bone in their body had broken.
Yet, Chu Hao let out a sigh of relief—so long as they were alive, everything could be managed!
They had all also trained in Body Techniques, boasting astonishing recovery abilities, and within his body resided the Laws of Life, making his recovery capabilities top-notch.
However, there seemed to be a special oppressive force in this place that greatly inhibited Star Force and Soul Seeds, slowing their healing speed by countless times.
Bang! Bang!
Just then, two heavy thuds were heard as something else fell from above.
Naturally, it was the two War Emperors from the Gao Family.
None of them had the ability to transform into a dragon and mitigate some of the falling force, nor did they have a fierce Body Cultivation to endure the impact. The advantage was that, not having trained in Body Technique, their bodies were lighter, and so the impact they suffered was much less.
Splat, splat, the two War Emperors also spat out mouthfuls of blood, collapsing onto the ground like lumps of mud, their Star Force shields shattering in the moment of impact.
Their Soul Seeds seemed to almost shatter, naturally unable to gather Elemental Power and revealing their true appearances.
Chu Hao, however, did not recognize them at all. He glanced at them and began to mobilize his energy to recover from his injuries. Now, whoever recovered first could easily annihilate the other party.
The two War Emperors were doing the same. Currently, they didn't even have the strength to reach for Pills, they could only use their Cultivation Techniques to slowly and gradually heal themselves.
This was a race against time.
Another ten or so minutes passed, and swoosh, another figure fell and hit the ground with a solid smack.
This time it was an old crone who carried a cane, but now the cane had flown out of her hand. Unfortunately, it struck the face of one of the Gao Family's War Emperors. With such a horrific force behind it, and without the ability to use Star Force or engage their Soul Seeds, he was no different from an ordinary Martial Disciple; the blow smashed his head open.
A War Emperor had met such a pathetic end.
But at the moment, no one had the strength to speak, and the silent drama continued as they all focused on recovering their bodies and strength.
Minutes passed and another figure descended, luckily not hitting anyone this time.
All seven were seriously wounded and silently recovering their powers in a strangely harmonious manner, yet everyone knew a storm of blood and violence could break out at any moment.
Time ticked by, second by second, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Someone might stand up at any moment, and that would spell doom for the others.
Chu Hao, with the Laws of Life within him, should have been the first to recover, but his injuries had been multiplied several times over from saving Su Wanyue and her companions, so his healing was faster than the three women's but not alarmingly so.
Gradually, the War Emperor from the Gao Family managed to move his hand and retrieved a Pill Bottle from the Mustard Seed Ring. He fumbled to open it shakily and managed to pour out a pill, pushing it towards his mouth.
The process seemed to slow down infinitely, and by the time he finally swallowed the Pill, his body was soaked with sweat.
The old man immediately showed a look of immense relief; with the Pill digested, his recovery speed would increase tenfold.
Chu Hao also struggled to sit up, taking out a Pill from the Mustard Seed Ring and swallowing it with difficulty.
This naturally caused the other two War Emperors to blanche, as their recovery speed was already far behind. With the environment heavily suppressing their combat power, all they could do was wait helplessly for death, unable to even struggle for their lives.
They certainly did not wish to die so pathetically!
Chu Hao tried to stand up. He wanted to kill those three War Emperors, eliminating a major crisis, so the four of them could slowly figure out a way to leave this place.
But his bones had been crushed in that impact, and though the Laws of Life were working to mend his primary bones, trying to stand up was still far from possible.
Hurry up! Hurry up!
He said to himself. This was the best chance he had to kill those three War Emperors. (To be continued...
