Chapter 802: Chapter 822: Seeking Wealth and Honor in the Face of Danger, Going All Out_1

The Golden Lion, like a golden lightning bolt, chased after Li Ping’an. Many powerful demonic beasts that were drinking water also rose into the sky and joined in the pursuit.

Qiao Wei watched as Li Ping’an and the others disappeared from sight, whispering, "I’m going, don’t move."

"Okay."

Qiao Wei’s figure soared, turning into a streak of light, and headed straight for the central Spiritual Spring.

With the Golden Lion guarding the Spiritual Spring absent and many powerful demonic beasts gone, plus the fact that the beasts might not have expected a second wave of invaders, Qiao Wei easily rushed to the sky above the Spiritual Spring.

Qiao Wei slapped the Spiritual Spring with a palm in mid-air, causing the spring water to splash up. She waved her right hand through the air, and the splashed waves of spring water seemed to be attracted, forming a torrent that flew into a large jar held in her left hand. In the blink of an eye, the large jar was filled.

After Qiao Wei sealed the jar, she put it into her Spatial Ring. Just as she was about to prepare for another round, the demonic beasts around her had already reacted and all rushed towards her together.

Qiao Wei dared not tarry and turned to flee immediately.

Perhaps it was because of the two consecutive surprise attacks that seriously provoked these demonic beasts. Hundreds of beasts that had been queuing for water chased after Qiao Wei in an imposing manner, creating a terrifying scene.

Lin Chen, watching from afar, was equally astonished. Although these demonic beasts were not as powerful as the Golden Lion earlier, their sheer number could easily crush them to a pulp with just one swipe.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over the now-empty area next to the water pool, suddenly stopping.

In the corner of the pool, a row of unidentified fruit trees grew, each about as tall as a person. They emitted an emerald green aura, as if each leaf was glowing. A single, bright red fruit hung on each of these trees, as dazzling as the others.

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. The Golden Lion had just been lying in front of these fruit trees before. Could it be that it was guarding not the Spiritual Spring, but these fruits?

Lin Chen’s heart thumped wildly in his chest.

What kind of level would these spiritual fruits be, grown beside the Yin Yang Eyes, next to the Spiritual Spring, and guarded by such a powerful Great Demon?

Lin Chen looked at the empty space next to the Spiritual Spring, clenched his teeth, and decided to take a gamble.

Although his Senior Brother told him not to be too greedy, for fear of danger, he couldn’t resist trying for something so tempting in front of his eyes. What was the point of cultivating if he wasn’t willing to take risks?

Lin Chen released his flying sword and soared towards the Spiritual Spring using the Sword Control Technique.

In a few breaths’ time, Lin Chen swept through the air and appeared in front of the row of fruit trees.

The bright red fruits were right in front of him, their fragrance filling the air. Just by smelling it, Lin Chen felt a sudden sense of clarity in his mind.

Lin Chen’s heart was pounding, but his hand was swift. As he sped by, he plucked all the red fruits from the row of trees and threw them into his Spatial Ring.

Lin Chen appeared at the water’s edge, took out a large container he had prepared, and filled several jars in a hurry.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, a golden light suddenly appeared on the horizon, rapidly approaching this location.

The Golden Lion!

Lin Chen’s heart leaped, the hairs on his back standing up abruptly.

With his current strength, even Senior Brother dared not entangle himself with the Golden Lion. He would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant if he were struck by one of the golden lightning bolts.

Although Lin Chen had the skill to reduce land to inches, he could barely escape against Lu Daoren, who was in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Against the Golden Lion, there would be no chance to escape.

Almost instinctively, Lin Chen’s figure flickered, and he reached the edge of the pool, then jumped straight down from the central spring eye.

The blue pool water was so opaque that one could not see what was below from the shore. Lin Chen had the Life and Death Seal placed on him by his Senior Brother, so as long as he was not seen, he would have no vital signs and would not be detected.

Despite the immense danger of this move in front of such a Great Demon like the Golden Lion, it was tantamount to gambling with his life, but at this point, Lin Chen had no other choice but to place the bet.

Though one couldn’t see the bottom of the pool, it wasn’t as deep as one would imagine, barely measuring fifty or sixty meters.

Lin Chen sank rapidly in order to avoid the Golden Lion, sinking to the bottom of the pool and sticking to the rocky ground below in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Golden Lion landed by the Spiritual Spring, looking around to find not a single demonic beast in sight. The lion instinctively turned its head to look at the row of fruit trees.

The trees were still there, but every bright red fruit had disappeared.

The Golden Lion’s body was covered in golden lightning, its golden pupils filled with fury. It raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

The ground trembled, and the dark clouds changed color above.

The Golden Lion stood on a huge rock next to the pool, its divine consciousness sweeping across the entire valley like a filter net...
