Chapter 156 Training Little Saintess (Part 1)
Chen Yu is currently experiencing a headache.
Little Saintess is definitely the most troublesome person he has encountered so far.
Her observational and analytical abilities are too strong.
In less than half an hour of contact, she has already figured out Chen Yu's intentions.
Her act of touching her own neck just now was not a genuine suicide attempt, but a confident probe.
Chen Yu is certain that if he didn't intervene, Little Saintess wouldn't actually commit suicide.
But he did intervene.
Which means that Little Saintess's probe was successful.
"However, so what?"
Chen Yu not playing tricks doesn't mean he has no hidden agenda, but rather that he simply doesn't need one.
Why go through twists and turns when you can solve problems straightforwardly?
Earlier, he analyzed the situation in the town and the possible methods of rescuing the Saintess thoroughly.
Why didn't he take action and instead waited for the real body to appear?
That's because absolute power provides more security than so-called strategies.
Strategies are always just a compensation when power is lacking.
Even Zhuge Liang's Empty City Strategy required veteran soldiers and young boys as actors, didn't it?
Little Saintess's behavior seems to have caught Chen Yu.
As long as she threatens her own life, she can make Chen Yu do things according to her wishes.
However, her life is not under her control.
Chen Yu disagrees; she can't even commit suicide!
"Can you put me down?"
Little Saintess tried to move her body and found that she couldn't budge at all, unable to help but ask.
"No, you can't," Chen Yu replied calmly.
"I'm not good at taking care of children. Your behavior just now has worn out the little patience I had for you."
"I'm sorry," Little Saintess said softly with her head down, "I just wanted to know how safe it is to follow you."
"Do you know now?" Chen Yu sneered.
"I know," Little Saintess replied, "it's very safe, you will protect me with all your might."
"I promise I won't do what I did just now again."
"I care about my own life, you don't need to worry about it."
"Can you put me down?"
"No, you can't," Chen Yu gave the same answer again.
Seemingly sensing Chen Yu's resolute attitude, Little Saintess no longer pleaded and silently stayed in the vines, not saying a word.
As long as it doesn't engage in battle, a Thorny Spirit like her can sustain the consumption indefinitely.
If Chen Yu needs it, she can exist indefinitely.
After a while, Little Saintess spoke again.
"Can you let me down for a while?"
"No."
"Please, I need to pee—"
"I am a Saintess, I can't pee in my pants!" Little Saintess showed an anxious and urgent expression.
This is the first time she has shown a different expression.
"Are you joking with me?" Chen Yu sneered, "When the Fallen nailed you to the cross, did they let you down to go to the bathroom?"
"They didn't..."
Little Saintess pouted.
...
After resting in the forest for less than an hour, Chen Yu's physical strength has recovered from the exhaustion of rescuing Little Saintess.
Little Saintess has also healed most of the injuries on her hands and feet by herself.
The town could send pursuers at any time, and the strong smell in the forest is nauseating.
Chen Yu did not stay and continued along the Great Dao, carrying the little Saintess, heading in the direction away from the town.
The little Saintess still served as the guide.
However, previously she was held in Chen Yu's arms.
But now, due to the misbehavior of the brat, she was tightly bound by thorns from the Heart Thorn Demon.
After leaving the town, the stone road turned into a dirt road.
As they walked further away, there were fewer corpses in the forest, and the air gradually became fresh.
In the evening, Chen Yu and the little Saintess walked out of the forest.
Looking ahead, there was a vast plain and low hills.
"There is a village of fallen ones ahead, where their power is weak and can be easily dealt with," the little Saintess raised her head in a certain direction and signaled to Chen Yu.
"Easily dealt with? Why should I deal with them?" Chen Yu didn't want to waste his vital life attribute.
The little Saintess wanted to clean up the village of fallen ones, and it had nothing to do with him.
"No, no, that's not what I meant," the little Saintess quickly explained, "The concentration of Abyss magic power in this area is not as high anymore."
"There should be some uncontaminated crops in the village ahead, and we can collect some."
"I'm hungry."
"Hungry? Just endure a bit."
Chen Yu did not agree to the little girl's request and continued forward.
Not far ahead, there was indeed a village of fallen ones.
The demonic features of the fallen ones in the village were not very obvious, and they were not deeply affected by the Abyss magic power.
Most of the fallen ones were only Rank One, with only a few Rank Two.
There were also some villagers who hadn't even reached Rank One and were just ordinary people infected by the fallen ones.
The fallen ones in the village still had their sanity intact.
Chen Yu didn't want to come into contact with the fallen ones to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
Moreover, with the little Saintess, this Transcendent Level light bulb by his side, as soon as she appeared, it would definitely attract a siege.
"Just need to get some food on the outskirts," the little Saintess said calmly, "I'm really hungry now."
"My remaining holy power is very low, unable to sustain movement, and my injuries have not healed, I am very weak."
"I need food to replenish my strength."
Chen Yu casually picked an apple from the terraced fields outside the village.
"Can I eat it?"
"Yes," the little Saintess nodded, "Can you pick some more?"
"No."
Chen Yu immediately took the little Saintess away from the village.
The road from Harklu Town was cut off here.
Further ahead was a vast wilderness.
"Which way should we go?" Chen Yu looked at the little Saintess, who was like a human map.
"I don't know," the little Saintess said, "I was in a coma when I was captured, and when I woke up, I was already in this location."
"The concentration of Abyss magic power in this area is almost the same, so I can't determine which direction leads to the area that hasn't been invaded by the Abyss."
"Then let's wait here."
Chen Yu took the little Saintess and found a hidden spot next to the road in Harklu Town to hide.
In the town, he had witnessed the bloody feast of the fallen ones.
The infected humans who were being devoured were not deeply affected, and before being captured, they were most likely ordinary people.
Since the convoy was able to capture ordinary people, they must know the direction to leave the Abyss-infested area.
Where there are normal human settlements, the location of the sanctuary forces can definitely be found.
By then, as long as he handed over the little Saintess, he would probably be able to complete the trial mission.
As for killing the fallen ones to earn a higher score, he could do it when he left the Abyss-infested area.
Only when he ensured the safety of the little Saintess, would he dare to ignore the consumption of summoning the Heart Thorn Demon and slaughter the fallen ones to earn points.
The sanctuary forces probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
However, if he could stir up trouble, he wouldn't be unable to become an outsider observer and find a suitable opportunity to summon the Primordial Elf of the Heart Thorn Demon and use a forbidden curse to clean up the area, earning a wave of gold coin explosions.
