Chapter 1188: Chapter 1208: The Proper Use of Slaves_1

Mountain peaks like swords, towering into the clouds, giant ancient trees stood like swords, covering the sky and the sun.

In the mountains and forests, giant beasts were running rampantly, shaking the woods, and giant birds soared into the sky, their wings spread wide, covering the sky and the sun.

"There are so many giant beasts in here, we’ve only been here for a little while, and in such a small area, we’ve already seen so many..."

Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang stood on a giant tree a kilometer tall, watching the giant beasts flying across the sky.

As soon as Lin Chen entered, he placed a Death Mark on both of them. In the absence of using spiritual energy, they were like two lifeless stones. As long as they were not seen by the giant beasts, they would not be attacked.

This made Nalan Wushuang extremely delighted.

Without saying anything else, this move alone could give them a huge advantage in such a dangerous place, at least greatly ensuring their safety.

"You’re really talented, this move is very useful."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Since you brought me in, I naturally have to contribute my strength. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste to just come in? Tell me about the Guilingzhi, how do we find it?"

Nalan Wushuang replied, "In the area where the Guilingzhi is located, there will be a faint dark fog in the surrounding range. The older the Guilingzhi, the thicker the dark fog. We can use this to search for the Guilingzhi."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "As long as there’s a clue, that’s good. The woods are dense here; if there were no phenomena, it would be really hard to find."

Nalan Wushuang took out a map: "This is a map of the entire Emperor’s Secret Realm. According to His Majesty’s account, the closer to the central area, the easier it is to find the Guilingzhi. What do you suggest?"

Lin Chen examined the map carefully. The Emperor’s Secret Realm was roughly circular, with a circle drawn in the center, probably the area where the Guilingzhi was said to be abundant.

Lin Chen laughed, "Other sects have ten or even twenty people, but there are only two of us. We definitely can’t win a head-on battle. We can only rely on speed and luck. Taking advantage of our ability to avoid demonic beasts, we’ll try to reach the central area as soon as possible and see if we can collect more Guilingzhi mushrooms."

Nalan Wushuang nodded, "Originally, I was planning to walk around the edge and try my luck, but now that you’re helping to conceal our breath, we can give it a shot."

"Let’s go!"

The two of them determined their direction and flew towards the central area.

As they flew along, they suddenly startled many giant beasts, which chased Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang frantically. However, Lin Chen used the Reducing Land to Inches technique to leave them far behind.

At this moment, each step Lin Chen took with the Reducing Land to Inches technique could cover at least four or five kilometers, and he could even manipulate the direction at will. His movements were unpredictable, and although the giant beasts were powerful, they had a hard time catching up with Lin Chen.

After half a day of rushing, Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang finally approached the central area of the Emperor’s Secret Realm and discovered the eerie dark fog for the first time.

"There!"

Lin Chen pointed to a valley in the distance, where the sun was shining brightly, but deep inside the valley, a large cloud of dark fog lingered, looking very eerie.

Nalan Wushuang’s eyes lit up, "Let’s go and take a look."

The two landed on the ground, flying close to the ground, and approached quickly. As soon as they entered the valley, they stopped.

On an open space in the valley, a green giant beast at least thirty or forty meters tall lay leisurely.

This giant beast had a triangular head with a pair of long antennae on top, a long neck, two pairs of transparent wings, and two blade-like pincers, making it look extremely fierce.

"Giant mantis!"

Lin Chen had seen giant beasts over a hundred meters tall on Mist Island, and although he was not too surprised, he couldn’t help but be curious.

"I’ve noticed that many of the types of giant beasts here exist in the outside world, but the size difference is so vast, and their combat power is incomparable. Are they considered beasts or demons?"

"Beasts."

Nalan Wushuang explained, "They are different from us. They are merely beasts, but they are ancient exotic species. The bloodlines of the beasts outside have been transforming from generation to generation, and the ancient bloodlines no longer exist. Only a very few can survive, and these usually live in extremely special environments..."

Special environments?

Like Mist Island?

Nalan Wushuang stared at the giant mantis and said, "These ancient giant beasts may not have high IQs, but they know what is good for them. For a top-grade and rare spiritual medicine like Guilingzhi, the giant beasts are sure to guard them."

Lin Chen laughed, "Let’s divide the work. I run fast, I’ll lure it away, and then you go and pick it. Once you’ve picked it, run. I’ll shake it off and meet up with you."

Nalan Wushuang smiled faintly, "Good, you’ve discovered the correct use of a ’slave’!"
