Chapter 8 - Journey and changes.

Where Shu, on the other hand, has pointed his gun, at the tree mutation. It was a new type, to the soldiers, as they all looked, at the tree whose branches were falling down, being cut in half, by the blazing sword of Chen Shu.

When a fire resounded and Shu shot a bullet.

A large, amount of fire-type mana was absorbed, by the bullet. Before this when they started, their journey. Chen Shu was holding, onto the gun, to fill all the bullets, with his mana.

The great advantage, of being a vampire was not regarding, regeneration, related to wound, for Chen Shu, it was related to regeneration of mana.

The bullet shot far too accurately, hitting the dead center, of the creature with a sharp and insane angle.

A large number, of branches, was covering the monster's main body, but for Chen Shu, who was able to see throw those gaps and insanely fast, reflexes, at which, he shot at the gap hitting the monster was not a problem.

When everyone was shocked by Shu's reflexes, the explosion of the bullet took place.

'The large amount of magma mana, which was poured inside, the bullet would explode, at the contact point.' That was, the information, Chen Shu received from the captain.

Where in reality, the explosion was quite good.

Chen Shu was quite excited to see the firepower. After all, that explosion was literally, like a cannon explosion.

A high-pitched wail resounded the forest. Chen Shu has collected, a large amount of Qi, in his legs and jumped high. The position, he was standing on was nailed, by several branches.

With a similar pattern, several other branches, shot at Shu simultaneously, given they were able to tell, that he was the greatest problem them, in this group of people.

Chen Shu, who was in the mid-air, had no place to dodge. At that moment, he released the sword, while several sword arcs were shot.

Chen Shu, choose to put, him at the disadvantage, to trick, the monster into attacking him with full power.

Theoretically, the monster guard was at the weakest state, so the Sword arcs slashed through the branches, struck the unguarded main body, dealing a large amount of damage.

Several wails resounded since the fire was the bain to tree types monster, these characteristics were passed down, to the monster, right in front of Shu and the others.

The bullet hail, started by the soldier, engulfed the remaining life of those monsters.

As they collapsed on the ground, but everyone was still on the edge. Chen Shu took, the sword inside the spatial bag, while everyone now looked, at shu with admiration and aw.

The clean method, with the super insane shots, along with those sword skills. Anyone was able to tell, he was guided by a master in dark.

Then also, he was humble with them, to this point, he was a perfect Specialize-mana user for any team.

"Let's go, we don't want to be surrounded, right. We have, to move faster from now on." Chen Shu spoke to them, as he looked, at the surroundings, and was sure, that there was no problem this time around.

"Yes!" they all hastily replied and started moving, captain smiled bitterly but was also genuinely happy too.

After all, having such a powerful ally, they all had struck the fortune, in the end, respect and reputation are nothing. Those who survive, till the end, is the true winner of life.

Chen Shu has no change in behavior, whereas the soldiers, were glad to see that. Normally genius, mana user with the background behind him, had a lot of pride and arrogance, and after letting them see his skill, the person would change his attitude, toward them.

Chen Shu was a proud guy, but there is always a thin line, between pride and arrogance. He was proud for sure, but not arrogant. The forest was still quite silent, after looking at the tired soldier, Chen Shu looked, at the captain, who was looking at him.

Chen Shu smiled wryly, to him, it was clear that they all, had chosen to follow him, by those reactions of the captain and others.

"All of your rest now, we will set up a camp, in the surrounding open areas." Chen Shu was willing, to take the post, he had led a group of immortals, into a great war, within the demonic realm.

This sort of thing was nothing to him, but he was willing to shoulder their responsibility, through which he need to protect them, and guide them, on how to survive, in this world.

"That was great."

"yeah, I was started to build fatigue."

"What was that....."

All the soldiers started to chat with each other, as they talked about, everything and anything, to relieve all the tension and pressure, they have accumulated.

Captain, who walks over to Chen Shu's side, give him the pack of gelatin food, which was provided to him, by the military. Chen Shu, accepted the food with a slight nod, after all, he has not prepared, any kind of food, to bring on, on that journey.

"Thanks, these all guys are a truly good man. I hope that we can survive, this all." The captain seems to be, the man of few words.

Chen Shu, noded at his wish.

The wish, that they would all survive this calamity.

"I can only try, but if you guys, truly wish to survive. Then follow, every single of my orders, like a wish, from your heart." As Shu spoke those words.

Several ointment bottles appeared in his hand, he looked at body ointment and smiled.

The ointment was the best thing available for mortals, while it cannot be given to normal mortals, but for soldiers, who had trained their physics, this was not harmful at all.

Chen Shu has observed their performance, he was sure, that their physical powers, were not completely exposed till yet.

"Drink, a single drop of this bottle, and rub them all over your body. Then you guys will follow my instruction and follow, the new set of moves." He spoke out confidently.

The soldiers looked at the new perspective of Shu, when he was silent, he was cheerful and calm collected genius.

Where the current him, looked dominating and intimidating, making every single of them stiff.

"Alright! Come here one by one, and take this ointment from, drink them with the same instruction, I had given before." Chen Shu, gave them the ointment, as he was running, the map module, to see the surrounding.

After he confirm there was no problem, he looked at the soldiers, who were lined up after applying and drinking the ointment...

Before that...

The soldier was doubting, the ointment, after all, it was giving a refreshing vibe. But none of them had a clue, to what? this thing was.

Where the little guy with sharp eyesight, drank the drop without hesitation, Shu who was acting of thinking something, smiled at that response.

Others were embarrassed, and did the same thing, while one guy observed everything carefully, and was keeping, the drop on his tongue.

Chen Shu, who was done with the assessment, chose both the first guy and the last guy, first one will be genius combat, whereas the other one, would be a suitable governor.

He walked and spoke to all, the soldier in a loud voice, "I heard you guys are veterans, from your captain. Then, believe me, you guys are going, to be slaughtered in this survival."

"Veteran in eyes means nothing more than, little experienced fighter, but calling you guys survival expert is far-fetched."

Chen Shu was clear, as he ridicule them, where the expression on their face changed. When they heard, "For a good example, how many of you, had taken the word, I said now as an insult."

The question shook, the mind of soldiers, as they thought about the same thing. When Chen Shu's unhurried voice rang back, "If I am right, you all thought about it. With simple words, I was able to control your thought process, neither of you guys had, the strength to break through any obstacle."

"Pride and arrogance, cloud the judgment. Only those with absolute strength, or absolute wits can survive this world."

"If you guys neither have any of them, then from now on, we will develop both of them. Anyone who wants to fight, in the front needs absolute strength."

"Those who are interested come forward." Sharp eyesight guy and captain moved forward firstly, then 3 more followed behind.

The remaining three were still in their places. Chen Shu respect their will and spoke, remaining will train, to be silent techniques and support.

Chen Shu looked at the sharp-eyed guy and spoke, "You will work personally for me, but with a bow, not on the front line."

"It's alright Xiao- Len."

Len looked at the captain's face, the hand patted on his shoulder, felt heavy for the first time. "You want, to save them at the front line, That is the reason, why you wanted to go into that field right!"

Len was shocked as he looked at Shu, "Then, you are absolutely a fool, following one heart and talent, can make a person stronger. What do you think? who will have the ability to save them? A stronger version of yours, or the weaker version of yours."

Chen Shu, was very strict with his words, as he looked, at the guy for the response. Len felt a little weird, where he was well aware of his advantage and talent. "forgive me, for doubting you." Len spoke out straight-forwardly.

"It is good, you have changed your mindset." Chen Shu spoke lightly, as he started to perform a different set of exercises, for others to copy and train inside.
