Chapter 2416: Chapter 2436: The Unique Advantage of Earth Escape

Lin Chen had encountered Fire Crocodiles before, more than just one.

These Fire Crocodiles weren’t particularly large, but they had thick skin and robust bodies with powerful attacks. Even as a Daluo Mysterious Immortal, Lin Chen couldn’t withstand being bitten by one.

Born in the extremely harsh environment, these fierce Demonic Beasts preferred hot places like Lava Pools and would actively attack any intruders into their territory.

The first time Lin Chen faced a Fire Crocodile, he casually delivered a slashing strike. However, this blow, strong enough to split mountains and seas, left only a faint white mark on the Fire Crocodile’s body.

Not believing in evil, Lin Chen brandished the Emperor’s Seal and smacked it towards the Fire Crocodile, pounding on it over ten times. The Fire Crocodile wasn’t smashed to death, and the commotion instead attracted even more Fire Crocodiles.

These Fire Crocodiles burrowed out from underground and leaped up, swarming to attack Lin Chen.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen directly employed the Earth Escape Technique and submerged himself underground. To his surprise, he found that the Fire Crocodiles were utterly baffled, seemingly unaware of why he had suddenly vanished.

Amid his astonishment, Lin Chen tested multiple times and finally confirmed that when he used the Earth Escape Technique to merge with the ground, he became indistinguishable from the earth itself, causing the Fire Crocodiles to lose their sense of his presence.

These brutes were mighty, but their perceptive abilities weren’t as strong as their physical strength, of course, this was also largely due to the marvels of the Earth Escape Technique.

When cultivators used the Earth Escape Technique to enter underground, they essentially became a part of the earth. Under such circumstances, unless the opponent possessed extraordinarily terrifying perceptive abilities, it would be impossible to detect Lin Chen’s position.

Facing the people’s questions, Lin Chen was equally puzzled.

With so many people here, how come there were so few cultivators who understood the Way of Earth and knew the Earth Escape Technique?

Or perhaps, such people did exist, but they had hidden this valuable piece of information?

While Lin Chen’s mind raced with thoughts, his mouth calmly responded, "I run fast, they can’t catch up to me. After I tire them out a few times, they grow too lazy to chase after me."

The surrounding people clicked their tongues in amazement.

"Running fast, that works?"

"The principle is feasible because some people do it that way. They alarm all the Fire Crocodiles and then lead them all away. Their companions then take the opportunity to swiftly collect the crystals..."

"But he’s by himself, right?"

"What about being by himself? As long as he’s fast enough, after taking the Fire Crocodiles far away and quickly returning, there is a time gap. If it doesn’t work once, try a few more times, and it can be done."

"Being by himself, he has more options. As long as he’s fast enough and not afraid of being surrounded by them, anything is possible. For instance, he could set up an Array Formation in advance, lure the Fire Crocodiles into the formation, use it to delay their return, and by the time they break the formation to go back, all the crystals would have been mined."

"This young fellow cultivator is quite fortunate."

Lin Chen ignored the people and turned to head back to his dwelling.

He planned to study the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, took out a piece of Phoenix Fire Crystal, and held it in both hands. He circulated the Sun Scripture, beginning to absorb the essence of fire within.

The fiery glow instantly illuminated the entire cave.

Such pure essence of fire.

Lin Chen was overjoyed, as cultivating with the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone made the process very fast!

Regardless of whether he could leave this place, this was an opportunity to collect a large amount of Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones. Even if he didn’t have enough time to cultivate now, there would be plenty of time after leaving here.

Even though this territory belonged to the Red-clothed Woman, by being calculative and unassuming, summoning True Person Tai Xu for help to escape here could still have a high success rate. The issue was that the Linglong Tower was still in the woman’s hands, and that was a massive trouble.

As Lin Chen pondered deeply, he suddenly had a premonition and turned around abruptly.

As expected, the Red-clothed Woman appeared like a ghost, silently and tracelessly emerging from the void and leisurely sitting on a stone stool.

Lin Chen did not exhibit the same shock as the first time, but inwardly, he couldn’t help muttering to himself, "You always barge in so mysteriously, aren’t you afraid of catching me undressed?"

"I heard you found Six Clusters of Phoenix Fire?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

The Red-clothed Woman smiled and said, "You’re quite lucky. Seeing you absorbing the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone, have you mastered the Path of Fire?"

Lin Chen honestly answered, "My Innate Divine Powers are the Five Elements Great Escape."

A look of surprise appeared on the Red-clothed Woman’s face, "Five Elements?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, by cultivating fire attribute Cultivation Techniques, I can absorb the essence of fire from the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, enhancing my cultivation."

The Red-clothed Woman asked with interest, "Which Cultivation Technique do you practice?"

Lin Chen replied, "Sun Scripture."

The Red-clothed Woman said in surprise, "The Sun Scripture is the core cultivation method of the Sun God Palace and is not to be practiced by non-core disciples. How did you come by the Sun Scripture?"

Lin Chen answered, "There was a thief who stole this technique and fled to a Mid-Grade Immortal Realm. He faked his death to escape, and after being gravely injured, he set up traps to lure many adventurers, intending to absorb their Essence Blood. I thwarted his plan, killed him, and the Sun Scripture ended up in my hands."

The Red-clothed Woman smiled lightly, "You are quite fortunate indeed. But be careful not to be discovered by the people of the Sun God Palace, otherwise, they will definitely cause trouble for you..."
