All Novel Full Chapter 77 - Make Way!
Hearing this, the two speed off at the same time, one on the ground going faster than he ever has before in his life, and the other, rising up into the sky before speeding up too much.
Riding through the air, Yueliang watches Shen Hu dashing through the wood, disappearing and reappearing due to the tree cover throughout the rain forest. Yueliang being above the tree line now, starts speeding up to move faster in hopes of not losing the race between them.
Flying through the sky, Yueliang does a few sideways flips, and the like, enjoying the feeling of the wind in his hair. Looking out he sees five big balls of black mass in mid air that seems to be moving towards him. Seeing this, Yueliang thinks to himself as he swerves off to the left. 'Are those giant boulder from a catapult?'
Getting closer and close, Yueliang tries flying upward to avoid them. Looking down to see if he managed to fully evade them, we sees them coming up as well and says in an annoyed yet interested tone. "Okay seriously, in what crazy tripped out world do catapulted boulders change their trajectory?"
"Seriously, tell me these things are not going to chase me all the way back ..." Yue mumbles to himself before feeling Qings' grip around him loosen. He quickly turns to look at her and "Woah!" Yue exclaims as he catches Qing by her arm as she falls off the motorcycle.
"Great, I am being chased by some tripped out boulders, and now I have an injured knocked out passenger." Yueliang groans to himself as he pulls her limp body up onto his lap so she does not fall, then leans forward about to go full speed towards his town.
Having been distracted by everything going on, right as he was about to speed up, he notices it is pitch black in every direction except a few spots where light comes in periodically. 'Well, clearly they were not boulders, but instead they are some sort of bird.'
He observes these birds while inside, just hovering, these particular birds seem to fly in large ball shapes, entrapping their prey, removing their sight to attack them, or at least according to what he has seen so far. However shortly after making his observation, he sees some of them diving in towards him. Guiding his chi through his body, he then pushes it out and materializing it around himself, Qing, and the flying motorcycle, as he attempts to protect himself.
Twisting the throttle as far as he can, he also pulls the joystick down all the way to drop through the barrage of birds. About 2 seconds later, he lets go of the joystick, and just flies straight with the balls of birds chasing close on his tail. Having had Qing resting her shoulders on his right arm, and the rest sitting on the front part of the motorcycle, he noticed she was slipping. Thus he readjusts her body the best he can with his left arm before reaching back to the handle bars.
Seemingly out of ideas at the moment, Yueliang asks Yang. 'What should I do? Even if I use chi to speed up, it would be of no use since I cannot hold out very well for hours, especially while fueling this motorcycle. This is exhausting mentally, even though I know I should be capable of it given my cultivation.'
"Well, firstly just because your realm allows you the capability does not mean you are capable. For instance body builder should be able to win a fight because of strength right? But what of endurance, intelligence, experience, or any other factor? You should not be expecting the world of yourself without first putting in the effort. Which by the way you are wasting most of on your subordinates.
Anyways back to the main point, there are a few options. 1. Kill them, 2. Ward them off by scaring them, smell, or something else, 3. Just out run them, or last but not least 4. Teleport away. So which do you choose?" Yang explains.
'Hmm, well how much would it be to teleport there? Seeing as, as much as I would like to kill them in self defense, I know that Qing will not last much longer at this rate.' Yue asks worriedly.
"By yourself, you could teleport free if you chose a quest. However seeing as you are wanting to take your baggage, then let us go with 10k shop credits. What do you say?" Yang asks excitedly.
'Alr .... pfft, WHAT??? 10k, what sort of price it that?'
"I mean it is not much considering how much you have, and how you are currently in danger. Sorry, normally it would not be like this, however since the system has to save your life with your friends a little while ago, it took a lot more out of us than expected. Thus this is a portion of what is needed for repairs, in addition to the cost of teleporting. Are you still going?" Yang asks.
*Chomp *Chomp
The birds clasp their beaks and get some of Yueliangs' shirt just barely missing his body itself. Noticing this, Yueliang swiftly says in his mind. 'Fine, but we will talk about this later.'
Upon giving his answer, the teleportation so instantaneous that he did not even notice, until he felt that he was no longer on his motorcycle but standing instead, and that with Qing in his arms, he was standing on the hill before his town.
---- Meanwhile Inside The Town ----
*Sniff Sniff
"Really, just as I arrived? He is certainly fast." Shen Hus' eyes widened in surprise as he turned around and ran towards the smell.
---- A Few Moments Later ----
"Hello Yueliang, it seems you were only a little slower than me. Seems that I won. Anyways, how did you make it so fast, this trip should have been a few hours long?" Shen Hu asks.
"I could ask you the same thing, regardless, I teleported since she does not seem like she will make it much longer. We need to run." Yueliang says as he adjusts his grip on Qing, and begins running.
Swiftly matching his speed, Shen Hu admits. "Well to tell you the truth, I took a shortcut I found shortly before meeting you. Anyways, it looks like you are right, she probably only has an hour or two at most left to live."
"You know if you told me she had so little time before, I would have just teleported all three of us or just turned back. This would have been much easier you know."
"Well, while that may be true, you also could have used your system like you have in the past many times before." Shen Hu turns it around as he did not want to be blamed even though he knew it was just the situation talking.
Having made it to the draw bridge, and seeing it being lowered, Shen Hu, and Yueliang jumped high into the the air so as to save more time, without stopping, and continue running as the drawbridge is still being lowered.
Once inside the town, Shen Hu roars with every step they take. After a few moments, Yueliang asks. "Just curious why are you roaring?"
"Obviously to get those on the street to make way. Unless you want heavy foot traffic?" Shen Hu asks.
"Thank you so much Shen Hu, you are the best as always." Yue compliments Shen Hu.
"You know if you are looking for someone here, you could have teleported them to you." Shen Hu brings up in case that was the reason.
"That is not what I am looking for, however thank you for the reminder. I am trying to get down to the crystal mine down below. While I may not be able to save her right now without the system, I can use the crystals to slow its progression, allowing her body a chance to fight whatever this is. Also, Yang said that whatever this is, it is not something within the systems knowledge base. Thus it is something new, or not yet discovered in the universes." Yueliang explains as they run.
