Chapter 2220: Chapter 2240: A Woman’s Collecting Obsession?_1

Lin Chen stepped into the void, his body instantly vanishing from its original spot.

The black flame swept past where Lin Chen had just stood, leaving behind a trail of transparent spatial fluctuations in the midair.

Lin Chen was shocked beyond measure, the might of this black flame was enormous, almost comparable to the Dragon Clan’s innate skill, Dragon Flame.

As expected, Magical Beasts are ferocious!

If my strength had been but slightly weaker, encountering these two Magical Beasts, I probably wouldn’t have survived.

Lin Chen merely wanted to get a rough estimate of their actual Combat Power and had no desire for a true entanglement with them. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared from the spot.

Looking back, Lin Chen saw that the Magical Beast that spewed black flame did not chase after him; instead, it turned its head and pounced toward the other Magical Beast that he had slashed with his sword and inflicted a serious injury upon.

The two giant beasts clashed again, but it was clear that the injured beast was no match for its opponent. It was thrown to the ground and then tumbled across the Wasteland. Soon after, its pitiful howls echoed in the sky.

Lin Chen extended his hand to rub his chin, contemplating that Magical Beasts were indeed full of malice toward intruders. However, as long as one kept their distance, their hostility would subside, and in their eyes, there didn’t seem to be much difference between an intruding Magical Beast of the same kind and a Human.

Lin Chen looked around; Heaven and Earth were boundless, with no end in sight. For a moment, he did not know which direction to go.

Lin Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then took out the Sensing Talisman that Qi Bingbing gave him and injected spiritual power into it. The talisman lit up with silvery glows, floating in the air, and the compass-like runes in its center illuminated one rune in particular, which shone like an arrow pointing in one direction.

Lin Chen put away the Sensing Talisman and headed towards the direction indicated by the talisman.

For Lin Chen, who had no specific destination, any direction was as good as another; therefore, it wouldn’t hurt to head towards the direction where Qi Bingbing’s Grandpa resided.

No sooner had Lin Chen started his journey than he was again subjected to a sudden attack by a Magical Beast.

With bizarre shapes, great strength, and sudden attacks.

Lin Chen simply heightened his altitude, ascending above the clouds, finally shaking off the relentless hunting and killing of the Magical Beasts.

From this, Lin Chen further understood the challenges of exploring this Secret Realm. If you fly above the Sky Dome, higher than the clouds, you indeed attract fewer Magical Beasts and it’s much safer; but if your purpose is to explore the Secret Realm and seek various natural treasures, how can you find them while hiding up in the Sky Dome?

If you want to find and collect natural treasures, you must stay close to the ground, at least flying at a low altitude, or even navigating through the Dense Forest, to potentially discover those treasures hidden within the vast Wasteland. However, by doing so, you must face countless Magical Beasts lurking within.

When you invade Others’ territory, you naturally incur their furious attacks: either you give up and flee, or you kill them and continue your exploration.

In a Secret Realm teeming with Magical Beasts, surely you can’t keep giving up?

Not to mention that, although Magical Beasts are crazed in nature, they are also sentient beings. Those Qi-rich natural treasures are usually guarded by powerful Magical Beasts, which lie in wait to devour them.

If you want to explore and reap good rewards, you must fight!

Lin Chen did not rashly commence a ground-level exploration; his main objective for this trip was Yin-Yang Spring, and he had to clarify its location first. As for the Void Lotus Herb, he was certainly in need of it, but he could only leave it to fate.

Flying above the cloud layer also came as advice from Qingyuan City to all disciples, regardless if they were in teams or following their Sect Elders. Due to random landing points, Qingyuan City instructed everyone not to rush into exploration but to first meet at the appointed Meeting Point and then make plans.

The Secret Realm Teleportation Gate was stably constructed, so there was no need to worry about not being able to leave the Secret Realm after a long period of exploration; thus, exploration need not be rushed, but should be steady and aimed at securing victory.

Every disciple that entered received a talisman that resonated with the Teleportation Gate. Once the talisman was torn open, one’s body would be enveloped by a Barrier of spiritual power before being drawn towards the gate, directly escaping the Secret Realm.

This was an emergency escape measure given to each disciple by Qingyuan City, should they encounter danger. Whether or not one could escape still depended on the enemy’s Strength.

Perhaps Lin Chen was lucky; after flying for four days, the Sensing Talisman had become incredibly bright, clearly indicating that he was nearing his target.

With Bai Yunfei yet to appear, Lin Chen decided not to wait any longer.

He flew towards the orientation sensed by the talisman and soon, in a valley among the mountain ranges, he spotted his target.

There were Great Luo Immortal Qi Wuchang and four others resting in the valley, one of whom was Qi Bingbing. The other three were the young men, all dressed in the attire of Outer Sect disciples.

A question arose in Lin Chen’s mind; not a single Inner Sect disciple?

Could it be that these three young men were also Qi Bingbing’s admirers?

Swordsmen guards?

Lin Chen did not rush to descend but instead cast a distant Water Mirror Technique. Soon enough, he gleaned the basic information about these three people from Han Zhaosheng’s mouth.

Whether or not they were the admirers of Qi Bingbing, Han Zhaosheng was unsure, but he did confirm that they all knew her well and probably liked Qi Bingbing.

Lin Chen’s expression turned slightly peculiar, was this woman playing a game of collection?
