I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 207 Li Chen escapes and Li Zhaohuang protects the villagers.

"Come back! Annihilation Soul Axe!" Li Chen shouted, recalling the Annihilation Soul Axe that was stalling for time. At this moment, he realized that his plan had succeeded, so he immediately ran towards a safe place as fast as possible with the other companions!

"Damn you little brats! I actually let you get away! But don't get too complacent. You've only escaped temporarily! Sooner or later, I'll catch you again!" The Wind Ancestral Shaman roared angrily, his gaze fixed on the direction Li Chen and the others had fled, his eyes gleaming with the fire of revenge. However, at this moment, one of his features suddenly became unusually kind, as if he had become a completely different person. He slowly stepped forward, gazing at the insect chrysalis that was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding creatures.

"Baixiandie, you must grow up well! Absorb the spiritual energy and fairy energy of the surrounding creatures and thrive! When you mature, you will be able to teach those hateful little ghosts a lesson for me!" The Ancestor of Wind muttered to himself, his tone full of expectation and hope.

Then, his eight faces opened their mouths almost simultaneously, releasing eight powerful energies that blew directly into the chrysalis. With the infusion of these eight energies, the chrysalis began to transform, gradually growing larger! Within the chrysalis, faintly visible, was the Hundred Immortal Butterfly, about to emerge from its cocoon!

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Little devils, just wait and see!"

The Wind Ancestor Sorcerer smiled grimly after seeing this, and then his figure disappeared in the Baixian Garden, leaving only the huge silkworm cocoon, which was still absorbing the essence of all things in the world, as well as the life force of countless creatures in the Baixian Garden!

The scene of withering and decay continued to spread from Baixian Garden to the surrounding areas. The insect chrysalis also grew larger and larger as it absorbed more vitality and more essence of all living things! As the chrysalis continued to grow, the deadly poison gas continued to spread. Wherever the poison gas passed, all living things were killed and poisoned!

On the other side, in Jinsha Village.

"Master! Run!"

Li Zhaohuang suddenly cried out in her sleep, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, soaking the pillow. She closed her eyes tightly, her brow furrowed, her hands clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly, as if she were experiencing a terrible nightmare.

Finally, she opened her eyes suddenly and sat up in bed, breathing rapidly and her heart pounding. She looked around and found herself in a familiar room, and then she realized that what had just happened was just a nightmare.

"Huh...it was just a dream," she muttered, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. But the fear and tension in the dream still lingered in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

She recalled the scene in her dream and saw Li Chen and his group in danger, and she couldn't help but feel worried. She knew that Li Chen and his group were going to carry out a mission, but she didn't know the specific situation.

"I hope Master and the others are okay..." She prayed softly, silently blessing them.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Although the dream was vivid, it was only an illusion after all. In reality, Li Chen would definitely be able to cope with any difficulties.

"Master is so powerful, I'm sure he'll be fine, right?" She consoled herself, trusting Li Chen's ability and wisdom. He had faced danger many times before and always managed to escape it.

To ease her worries, she decided to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. She put on her clothes, walked out of the house, and went into the yard. It was already midnight, and the night breeze was cool and refreshing, giving people a comfortable and pleasant feeling.

However, when she looked up into the distance, she saw a shocking sight. On the distant mountain peaks, the once lush vegetation began to show signs of withering on a large scale, and the area of ​​withering was expanding.

She stared at the scene in disbelief, her eyes wide open. This unusual phenomenon made her feel uneasy, as if it foreshadowed some kind of disaster.

"What's going on?" she asked herself in a low voice, her heart full of confusion.

She decided to get closer and observe, so she walked quickly towards the mountain. As she got closer, she saw the withered scene more clearly, and along with it was a strange green mist, which made her feel even more uneasy.

She quickened her pace, trying to figure out what was happening. But at that moment, a powerful force swept over her, knocking her off her feet. She struggled to steady herself, but the powerful force still blew her away!

"No, something's wrong!"

Li Zhaohuang thought in fear, and suddenly remembered what her master, Li Chen, had told her: if you encounter unusual phenomena, such as widespread withering of flowers, plants, and trees, it's likely due to the presence of a demon. And if such widespread withering occurs, the demon's power is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary demons.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaohuang's face grew grim. She knew she had to act quickly, or the consequences would be disastrous. So, she gathered all her strength and shouted, "Villagers! Everyone, get up quickly and prepare to run!"

The sound resounded throughout the village, waking up the sleeping villagers. Suddenly, every household lit up their lights, and people came out of their homes, looking at Li Zhaohuang in confusion.

One of the villagers said dissatisfiedly: "Girl, even though you are a disciple of Li Shangxian, you can't be so excessive. It's so late at night that you disturb people's sleep!"

Others also echoed: "That's right!" "That's right!"

Li Zhaohuang explained anxiously, "There's no time to explain. Look at the flowers and trees on that mountain in the distance. They're withering at an extremely fast rate. This means a demon is approaching. Hurry and leave! I'll buy you some time!"

Li Zhaohuang said anxiously. After hearing these words, the villagers' originally fuzzy minds instantly became clear.

After all, the incident with the Yellow Wind King had left a deep psychological shadow on everyone. Hearing Li Zhaohuang's words, everyone knew that this matter was of great importance and must be taken seriously!

However, it was too late. The poisonous gas was spreading at an alarming speed and was approaching the villagers in the blink of an eye!

"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, grant me true divine power! Five Elements Barrier!"

Five different colors of light were shining around Li Zhaohuang's body, interweaving and shining with each other, and finally gathered in her hands, forming a solid protective barrier, successfully blocking the further spread of the poison gas!

"Villagers, leave me alone and get out of here!"

Li Zhaohuang anxiously called out to the villagers behind him. The villagers knew that staying here would only burden Li Zhaohuang, so they turned and left with reluctance.

Li Zhaohuang secretly vowed in her heart that she must do her best to hold on and protect these innocent villagers! Because she realized that the dream she just had was not an illusion, but a real warning.

Li Chen and his group were in a very dangerous situation. Otherwise, the poison gas wouldn't have spread here. But for now, all she could do was hold her ground, buy as much time as possible, and ensure the safety of the villagers!
