Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me [ BL ]

Chapter 69 - Returning A Favor

This chapter is by Lianyin of BC Novels.

Chu Yu immediately unsheathed Xun Sheng to try to block the attack. With a ‘clang’, a huge burst of energy suddenly burst forth from the sword. It was not easy for Chu Yu to both draw the sword and parry the attack in one swift move. His body was still experiencing severe pain, and he did not have much strength. He was sent flying back from the aftershock of the first impact and crashed into the wall of the mountain.

The pain nearly brought tears to his eyes. He choked back his tears and wiped his eyes with a trembling hand to see what had just attacked him.

A black…… leopard?
　
This monster resembled a leopard, but it had two heads, and its eyes were blood red. Its gaping mouth exposed sharp teeth within; it was obviously a carnivore.

Chu Yu shivered and swept a glance around, his heart sinking.

If it was just one, maybe he could still deal with it.

But how was he going to deal with a whole pack of them?!
　　
It was reasonable for there to be demonic beasts at the bottom of the abyss…… but, how could Fu Lanxue not even give a squeak about it?!

For a brief moment, Chu Yu painfully stared at the pack of beasts that were circling, ready to pounce at any moment. A sudden flash of inspiration hit him, and he carefully drew a small stack of talisman from the front of his robes.

Third Shidi had given these to him. Many of the charms created by Third Shidi were weird in all kinds of ways. Since Chu Yu had a habit of throwing out random stuff from his interspatial storage ring, he had placed those talismans in his robes instead to avoid confusion.

Third Shidi had once proclaimed that he wanted to draw talismans which even mere commoners could use without the use of spiritual energy. This was now the time to test it…….

Chu Yu gritted his teeth. Taking out one talisman from the stack, he ruthlessly hurled it at the demonic beasts.

Perhaps because they had poor vision, and they had never seen a talisman before, the pack of beasts simply watched curiously as the charm lightly floated and fell among them. Seeing no reaction from the talisman, Chu Yu’s heart chilled as he rigidly looked over as a few of the beasts went over to jab at it.

The next moment, there was a loud “BOOM” that exploded from the center of the charm. Panicked howls rang out. When the light and dust gradually settled, Chu Yu spat out the dirt that had flown into his mouth and fixed his gaze at the scene.

There was no crater on the ground as he had imagined.

That talisman earlier was more similar to a smoke bomb. It had no real power. Fortunately, the natives in this place were not worldly wise and had already run away in fright.

However, it was fortunate that it had no real power. Otherwise, as he had been standing so close he would have been swept away by the surge of energy. This body now could be said to be out of fuel; if he was to heap any more hardship on it and he would probably kick the bucket.

Chu Yu broke out in a cold sweat and sat down weakly. After gasping for breath for a while, he struggled to get up again.

Because of his earlier actions, his hair had been scattered over his shoulders. Chu Yu took a casual glance at it. When he saw his own hair out of the corners of his eyes, his body stiffened. After a period of silence, he raised Xun Sheng and looked at his reflection on its sharp, snow-white blade.

As expected, his face was horribly pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked sickly as if he would breathe his last any moment now.
