Chapter 2749: Chapter 2769: A beauty moves the heart, but life is the most important thing.

Guan Xia’s gaze was subtle; she silently stepped forward and carefully began to remove the spider web from Lan Qiangwei.

Lin Chen crouched by the side, not looking at them, but rather focused on the situation on the battlefield.

There were many powerhouses on Gathering Immortal Island, and after a fierce battle, the situation had finally stabilized, and they were holding the upper hand.

The spider web entangling Lan Qiangwei was eventually pulled off, and she looked at Lin Chen with a subtle gaze.

"Lin Xi, why was that Demon Spider afraid of you, not daring to attack you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I once met a Starry Sky Demon Beast and did it a small favor, so it left me a little souvenir to scare off other Magical Beasts. Today, it really came in handy."

Lan Qiangwei looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You’ve dealt with a Starry Sky Demon Beast?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it was quite an adventure. That Starry Sky Demon Beast was truly massive..."

Lan Qiangwei blinked, her gaze becoming somewhat peculiar, but Lin Chen, whose eyes were fixed on the battlefield, didn’t notice.

"We’re about to win!"

Lin Chen surveyed the battlefield, his expression serious: "The entire base has been completely wrecked, and many have died. This time, Gathering Immortal Island has suffered significant losses..."

Lan Qiangwei nodded: "Exploring the New World always involves facing unpredictable dangers."

Lin Chen pondered: "I don’t know if this attack will bring any changes for us..."

Lan Qiangwei shook her head: "Although we have a contract with Gathering Immortal Island, it is ultimately a cooperative agreement; we’re not people of the island. This incident has a great impact on the island, but for us, the impact is not that significant, and there may even be benefits."

Benefits?

Lin Chen blinked, instantly understanding.

With many casualties this time, the exploration of the New World by Gathering Immortal Island would be even more understaffed. If it’s about earning points, it would obviously be easier now.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "No matter how easy it is to earn points, I don’t think I’ll stay much longer."

Lan Qiangwei asked, "You’re leaving?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Actually, I still have things to attend to. Since I came in anyway, not taking a look would leave me feeling unsatisfied. Anyway, since the contract signing is done and I can leave anytime, I came here."

"Now that I have seen it and understood the situation, I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate the points I want. I don’t have much time to waste here, so I have to give up."

Guan Xia, who had been listening in, suddenly spoke up: "When are you planning to leave?"

Lin Chen answered: "There’s no rush, I’ll see how things go first."

Figures darted in front, Zuo Dongxu, Gu Maduo, and others appeared up ahead.

"Fairy Lan, are you alright?"

Lan Qiangwei responded calmly, "I’m fine."

Zuo Dongxu looked at Lin Chen with a complex gaze: "Did Lin Xi save you? We saw you were ensnared by the spider web just before..."

Lan Qiangwei glanced at Lin Chen and gave a slight nod: "Yes, he saved my life."

Zuo Dongxu bowed his hands in gratitude: "Thank you, Friend Lin, for lending a hand. We were powerless to protect the Fairy and are truly ashamed. May I ask how did you manage to drive away that Demon Spider?"

Lin Chen answered calmly: "Just a small trick, it was really just good luck."

Zuo Dongxu, seeing that Lin Chen was not forthcoming, though curious, could not press further. After all, who would readily share their secret life-saving measures with outsiders?

Zuo Dongxu felt a complex mix of emotions; he had always been by Lan Qiangwei’s side, hoping to win her favor. Unfortunately, Lan Qiangwei had always been very polite to him, even distant. Today, he had a golden opportunity to play the hero, but he messed it up.

Even if given the chance to do it over, Zuo Dongxu feared he had only one option: to turn tail and run.

He certainly didn’t have the strength to confront that giant Demon Spider head-on!

Hadn’t he seen Lan Qiangwei, with her formidable strength, get entangled by that web, nearly becoming the Demon Spider’s blood food?

If his own strength was inferior to Lan Qiangwei’s, who couldn’t hold her own, wouldn’t he be simply courting death?

While beauty was alluring, one’s own life was paramount.

If one were dead, what business would they have with all the beauty in the world?

"Where did these Demon Spiders come from? Fairy Lan, do you know? How did they suddenly appear in such large numbers..."

Lan Qiangwei didn’t look at Lin Chen; she answered naturally, "These Demon Spiders came from Black Demon Cave. As for why they came out, that’s unclear; after all, no one has ever been to Black Demon Cave."

Black Demon Cave?

Zuo Dongxu had also seen the exploration task that guaranteed a hundred points and could yield up to a thousand, but he never imagined these Demon Spiders had escaped from Black Demon Cave.

"Did they all live in Black Demon Cave before? So many Demon Spiders living underground, no wonder everyone who attempted to investigate couldn’t escape. Not only are these Demon Spiders strong, but they can also burrow. If someone were to go down there, how could anyone possibly escape?"
