Chapter 1604: Chapter 1624: Blessing in Disguise, Can Little Gold Become Smaller?_1

"Be specific, who is currently stationed on the mountainside, how strong is he, who is stationed at the spirit vein, how many experts are there?"

Zhao Datong answered, "The mountainside is guarded by a fairy who calls himself the Black Clothes Blood Envoy. He is said to be the highest-ranking official of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in the entire God Fire Continent. Besides him, there are golden and true immortals, about thirteen or fourteen in total."

"The spirit vein is also guarded by a fairy, who acts on the orders of the Black Clothes Blood Envoy. His strength should be lower, but we don’t know how much."

"Apart from the stationed fairy, there are five members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance who take turns cultivating. Their strengths are also of the golden or true immortal level. Except for the two fairies, everyone else in the Black Thunder Sect’s headquarters are golden or true immortals, reaching a total of about 20 or so people. I can’t tell how many are golden and how many are true immortals, after all, to us, there’s no difference between them. Regardless, any one of them could kill us with a finger strike."

Lin Chen asked, "How long has this group been gone for cultivation?"

Zhao Datong answered, "Five days."

Suddenly, Lin Chen had an idea, "Within three months, will anyone else go?"

"No, only at the end of the three-month period will the next group go to replace the previous five people."

Lin Chen contemplated for a moment and then asked about Little Gold’s situation, "What is the current situation with the Golden Winged Roc?"

Zhao Datong replied, "The Golden Winged Roc was brought by the Black Clothes Blood Envoy, who seems to have caught it. It’s not very obedient, and he has been training it these days. He even fed it a fruit, after which the Golden Winged Roc miraculously began to shrink..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, "The Golden Winged Roc has shrunk?"

Zhao Datong replied, "Yes, previously the Golden Winged Roc’s wings spanned at least a few hundred meters. But after eating the fruit, it could change its body at will. It can change to the size of an ordinary myna, and it can grow huge in the blink of an eye."

"Secret Fruit of the Demon!"

Guo Qiuyu laughed, "Your Golden Winged Roc was caught by them, but it might be a blessing in disguise."

Lin Chen looked subtly affected. Originally, he had taken the Golden Winged Roc out to find it a Secret Fruit of the Demon on the Heavenly Demon Continent so that it could alter its shape at will, allowing it to be carried anywhere at any time.

Secret Fruit of the Demon is very rare, and extremely valuable on the Heavenly Demon Continent. It is very hard to acquire. Lin Chen had initially considered whether to obtain it through refining pills for others or exchanging it with a high-grade elixir. But now he suddenly realized that the problem was solved.

It really is a blessing in disguise!

Lin Chen asked, "Is there any prohibition on the Golden Winged Roc? In other words, how does the Black Clothes Blood Envoy control the Golden Winged Roc?"

Zhao Datong replied, "The Golden Winged Roc has a metal ring around its neck. The ring can change at will and can also change according to the fluctuations in the Golden Winged Roc. If the Golden Winged Roc disobeys, the Black Clothes Blood Envoy controls the metal ring to shrink, leaving the Golden Winged Roc breathless."

"There’s also an Explosive Talisman connected to the Ruyi Ring. As long as the Black Clothes Blood Envoy controls it, he can detonate it at any time, killing the Golden Winged Roc. The Golden Winged Roc is intelligent and understands human language. To survive, it has to submit to him."

Lin Chen immediately understood. Is this not the Ruyi Ring that Liu Yuqi and others use?

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to remove the Ruyi Ring around the neck of a demonic beast. Firstly, the demonic beast will not let anyone approach it; secondly, the material of the Ruyi Ring is extremely hard, not easy to destroy. A slight delay may cause the master to sense someone trying to destroy the Ruyi Ring and could trigger the Explosive Talisman connected to it, killing the Demonic Beast instantly.

However, this problem does not seem to be an issue for Lin Chen at all.

Lin Chen had long thought of a solution, and that was to throw Little Gold into the Qiqiao Hall as soon as possible. The Qiqiao Hall would isolate all senses, and the other party would immediately lose control of the Ruyi Ring.

Lin Chen would be able to deal with everything calmly, then leisurely enter the Qiqiao Hall and deal with the Ruyi Ring, which would no longer explode, and let Little Gold regain his freedom.

Having thought for a while, Lin Chen considered the inevitable fact that saving Little Gold would alarm the Black Clothes Blood Envoy, and he probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy the spirit vein anymore.

After Lin Chen had finished questioning, he switched to another person, and asked again. The answers from the two people were almost identical.

"Senior, I have a thought..."

As soon as Lin Chen opened his mouth, Guo Qiuyu laughed, "First go to the spirit vein, deal with the Fairy there, then replace him, and cultivate for over two months?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, since we’ve encountered it, not taking advantage of such a good opportunity would feel unsatisfactory. In addition, the fairy guarding the vein seems to be less powerful, which makes it easier to confront. We’ll deal with him and the five who are cultivating first, then we’ll cultivate while waiting for an opportunity."

"After three months, when the replacement group comes, we’ll take them down by surprise, then sneak into the sect and rescue Little Gold. We’ll ambush the Black Clothes Blood Envoy. If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to eliminate them all in one sweep!"

Guo Qiuyu smiled slightly, "Let’s do as you suggest!"
