Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 293 - 89: Demon Beasts Attack!

Whoosh!

The arrow in Lin Chen’s hand transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the huge shadow behind Jiang Qing just as she bent down.

Behind Jiang Qing, a Fish Monster silently emerged from the lake, towering over three meters high. At this moment, it opened its massive maw, intending to swallow Jiang Qing whole.

Bam!

The arrow pierced the Fish Monster’s mouth, directly penetrating its skull.

Bam bam bam!

Lin Chen followed with several more arrows, this time aiming at the Fish Monster’s eyes.

The Fish Monster’s eyes were pierced by arrows, blood flowed out, and it let out a roar of rage. Its massive body tried to lunge towards the shore, but Lin Chen gave it no chance.

Several more arrows were released.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qing rolled to Lin Chen’s side and turned her head for the first time.

Seeing the Fish Monster fall back into the lake, Jiang Qing’s eyes narrowed, "Junior Brother Lin, let’s go!"

Although this Fish Monster was repelled by Junior Brother Lin, the appearance of a Demon Beast in the Special Training Ground was anything but ordinary.

Jiang Qing could think of this, and so could Lin Chen. The Military Affairs Hall kept the Special Training Ground so secretive, likely to guard against ambushes by the Demon Race.

The students who could enter the Special Training Ground were all exceptionally promising. Given ten years to grow, they would become the pillars of Jiangnan Dao.

For the Demon Race, which harbored hatred towards Liang, they naturally would not want to see promising martial artists of Liang grow. It was best to nip them in the bud.

How did the Demon Race know the location of the Special Training Ground, and how did they manage to approach the island without being detected?

Lin Chen and Jiang Qing exchanged a look, both seeing a flicker of gravity in each other’s eyes. This could not possibly be a mere accident, with a Fish Monster mistakenly wandering here.

There might be more to come!

Putting oneself in the enemy’s shoes, Lin Chen thought that if he were the Demon Race and knew the location of the Special Training Ground, he would not just send one Fish Monster. Either do nothing, or act with the power to annihilate the opponent.

The two sprinted forward quickly, and just as their figures disappeared into the dense forest, silhouettes emerged from the water by the shore behind them, rushing madly towards the shore.

"My lord, there is a demon beast attack!"

Entering the forest, Lin Chen shouted loudly, and just as he finished, he saw fireworks burst high in the sky, even in broad daylight, the fireworks were dazzling and bright.

"The Instructors have also discovered the presence of the Demon Race."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Qing by his side that the fireworks must have been launched by an Instructor, a signal to the outside.

"Lin Chen, Jiang Qing, are you two injured?"

Emerging from the forest, Lin Chen saw a middle-aged man he didn’t recognize, but Jiang Qing immediately said, "Instructor Zhang, we were just ambushed by a Fish Monster by the shore behind the forest. Fortunately, Junior Brother Lin reacted swiftly and repelled the Fish Monster."

"There are also Fish Monsters in the back mountains, so it seems this time the Demon Race has come prepared."

Hearing Instructor Zhang’s words, Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat, so Fish Monsters aren’t just appearing behind the island’s rear mountains?

"Lord Xu sent me to find you two, come with me first."

Zhang Jiang didn’t explain much; in the many years since the formation of the Special Training Ground, this was the first time they had encountered a sneak attack by the Demon Race, and such a large-scale attack.

Soon, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing met Xu Li and the other Instructors, as well as other students.

Panic was visible on the faces of the students. Xu Li visibly relaxed when he saw Lin Chen and Jiang Qing return safely.

Among these students, truth be told, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing were the ones who could not afford to have anything happen to them.

"The Demon Race has invaded, I and the Instructors will repel the Fish Monsters. You all head to the Iron Vault first."

The most secure place in the Special Training Ground is the Iron Vault.

After Xu Li spoke, he glanced at the many Instructors present and then said, "Instructor Min, take them over."

"Yes."

Min Huanbo nodded, "Everyone, follow me."

Only when Lin Chen and the others followed Min Huanbo far away did Xu Li’s face turn cold, "Colleagues, let’s confront these Demon Beasts together! Remember our duty!"

Chen Ping and the other Instructors nodded solemnly.

As Instructors, their duties, aside from teaching students, include protecting them.

"Lord Xu, rest assured, for these Demon Beasts to harm the students, they must first step over my corpse."

"No need to fight these Demon Beasts to the death; I have already sent a signal to the outside. The Poyang Guard will see the fireworks and send reinforcements. All we need to do is hold off the Demon Beasts."

Fighting to the death with the Demon Beasts is only a last resort!

...

...

Inside the iron door.

The fear on the students’ faces was evident. Lin Chen glanced around at these students, sighed in his heart, thinking they’re all nobles who have never experienced life-and-death battles. It’s natural for them to panic when suddenly facing Demon Beasts.

"With Lord Xu here, the Demon Beasts won’t get far, you can relax."

Min Huanbo saw the fear in the students’ hearts and offered some comfort. When he looked at Lin Chen, seeing no fear on his face, he felt an increase in his satisfaction with Lin Chen.

"Instructor Min, are there many Demon Beasts in this attack?"

Jiang Qing suddenly spoke, and Min Huanbo hesitated for a moment before deciding not to hide the truth: "It’s not just on the back mountain shore where you and Lin Chen were, but on the other three sides of the island as well, there are quite a few Fish Monsters. However, these Fish Monsters are trivial, not even of Entering the Grade level, causing no significant trouble. Keeping you here is just Lord Xu being cautious."
