338: Chapter 337 Human Friend, Save Me...

The wind howled fiercely.

Chu Xuan controlled the Flying Boat, keeping it at a low altitude as they sped along.

Along the way, he had slain several more peculiar creatures—mostly animals several times larger than those in the outside world—earning a total of over 700 spirituality value points.

What especially excited Chu Xuan was that, thanks to Xu Shuya's treasure-hunting Talent, they had acquired many rare treasures and exotic fruits during the journey.

Among them were five savage blood fruits!

Chu Xuan spent 200 spirituality value points to authenticate both Spatial Rings, then consolidated all their spoils into them.

This way, they could take everything out and distribute the loot slowly once they were back outside.

“In about an hour, we'll be forced to evacuate this place...” Pang Hu said.

Tan Ziming frowned in confusion. “Strange. Why have we encountered so few monsters along this path?”

“We need to hurry. I feel like danger is approaching...” Lin Jie warned as he stood beside Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, dismissing the idea of consuming the savage blood fruits here.

Mountains rose and fell around the forest, but the destination ahead of them was the most spectacular of all.

The peak stood majestic, piercing the clouds. With Chu Xuan's current vision and perception, he estimated the mountain ahead to be at least two thousand meters high.

They traveled another ten kilometers. Along the way, strange corpses appeared from time to time: a black panther flickering with electricity, a monster with a bear's head and a human body, and several dwarves with sickly green skin.

Xu Shuya said thoughtfully, “Judging by the state of these corpses, they seemed to be fleeing desperately toward that mountain ahead...”

A deafening thundering sound gradually drifted from ahead.

Chu Xuan focused his vision to look into the distance and could clearly see several giant beasts galloping toward the front.

“I feel like... something is not quite right...”

Before Lin Jie could finish his sentence, a deafening roar erupted behind them. Everyone turned to look, their faces instantly turning pale.

In the far distance, a colossal wave that blotted out the sun had risen at some point, roaring as it surged toward them. It was at least a thousand meters high, appearing as if it would swallow heaven and earth.

As the giant wave crashed down, countless trees along the way were uprooted and washed away without a trace.

Even though it was still a great distance away, the sheer force of its momentum reached them first.

The mountain forest trembled!

“How can there be a giant wave in the middle of these deep mountains and dense forests?!!”

Everyone's expression changed instantly. Fortunately, Chu Xuan was currently accelerating the Flying Boat, and their speed far exceeded the pace of the wave chasing them from behind, keeping the distance wide for now.

Even so, as the giant wave churned and drew closer, everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of panic in their hearts.

“We absolutely cannot be hit by that wave, otherwise our bodies will be completely dissolved...” Lin Jie said with a trembling voice.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He steered the Flying Boat, occasionally dodging giant trees as they wove through the forest. The high mountain ahead was already in sight; they would arrive in twenty minutes at most.

“Human friend, please save me...”

A shrill cry for help suddenly came from the left. Chu Xuan looked toward the sound and immediately spotted a big-nosed dwarf sitting on a flying carpet, flying rapidly forward.

Behind him, four blue-skinned elves with pointed ears and sleek muscle lines were in hot pursuit, riding on white wolves.

They all held longbows. The seemingly ordinary wooden arrows burst with brilliant light the moment they were notched. Accompanied by explosive bangs, they turned into streaks of light and shot straight out.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four arrows shot through the air in succession. Two were nimbly dodged by the flying carpet, piercing through ancient trees over ten meters in diameter further ahead.

Amidst the booming sounds, the two large trees exploded from the middle.

As the remaining two arrows approached, the dwarf let out a panicked squawk and threw a transparent glass bottle filled with red liquid. The potion exploded, turning into crimson flames that detonated the arrows prematurely.

However, the explosion was too close. The dwarf was caught in the crimson flames, and his dark green back appeared slightly charred.

“Human friend, quickly save me...”

The dwarf turned around and shouted loudly toward the Flying Boat, “If you can save me, I, Molo, can swear to the Ancestor that you will be handsomely rewarded! I can also lead you to quickly escape the threat of the tide...”

Tan Ziming said in the back with great surprise, “Eh? I clearly don't understand the language this dwarf is speaking, yet I know what he means...”

“This is likely due to the use of Mental Energy. Even if the languages aren't the same, it allows one to easily perceive the intended meaning of the words,” Chu Xuan said calmly.

“So do we save him or not? We've pulled away from the giant wave behind us, and although there's still some distance, it’s still a threat...” Tan Ziming first glanced at Chu Xuan, then turned his gaze to Lin Jie.

“I don't know... my ability seems to be weakened here. I can only sense the crisis, but how to resolve it is very blurry; I can't see it clearly...”

Lin Jie shook his head. “As for whether saving this dwarf will bring good or bad luck, I can't say for sure. It’s up to Brother Chu Xuan to decide.”

Everyone now turned their eyes toward Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan's expression remained calm as usual, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly. He noticed that the four elves riding white wolves were watching him with warning looks in their eyes.

“Wait and see.”

Chu Xuan only uttered those three words. He didn't say he would save him, nor did he say he wouldn't. He simply continued to control the Flying Boat, speeding toward the large mountain ahead.

Based on Lin Jie's description, Chu Xuan speculated that perhaps once they reached the mountain ahead, the threat of the giant wave would dissipate on its own.

“Human friend, I offer this gratitude in advance! This is a supreme treasure of the Elf Race; I'll give it to you first!”

The dwarf's voice rang out again. He reached into a leather pouch at his waist, and a large jar suddenly appeared before vanishing in a flash.

In the next moment, that jar appeared in Chu Xuan's hand.
