Chapter 879: Chapter 899: Where is the Basic Trust Between People?_1

The Wind-Banner fluttered, and Zhu Yao and the others were all revealed.

As soon as everyone landed, their faces became tense as they looked around. When they saw Lin Chen with a relaxed expression and a slight smile, they all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had escaped the danger.

Zhu Yao said excitedly, "Did we get away?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, we may not be good at fighting, but we can run."

Long Yan’er patted her chest, causing a tremble, "You’re amazing, how did you do it?"

Lin Chen explained the origin of the Cicada Wing Robe, "Using the Jin Chan Tuo Qiao technique was quite effective."

Xiao Rulong praised, "Mr. Bai is a remarkable man. His Startling Cicada Technique is unique in the world. Having this, our safety has greatly increased."

Mo Wen smiled, "Indeed, we can always run away if we can’t beat our opponent, and they won’t know your secrets at first. As long as we can buy just a little bit of time, we can escape."

Zhu Yao gave a thumbs up, "Lin Chen, you’re a great team leader!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You all must have your own life-saving methods. I just don’t want our team to be scattered as soon as we enter, or else how can we face other difficulties together in the future?"

Chen Ling sighed, "That creature we just escaped from must have been a Great Demon. its massive body was like a mountain. One slap, and we’d be dead."

Ji You bitterly smiled, "I can’t withstand that; one slap would leave no good bones in my body."

After everyone sighed and lamented for a while, Yin Yunsheng asked, "Which direction should we head?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Since the time is up, everyone will be directly pushed out of the Secret Realm. So it doesn’t matter how deep we go in. Let’s fly in a random direction for now, look for some distinctive mountains or other landmarks, and then make a decision."

"Alright!"

Zhu Yao readily agreed, "You’re the team leader, you choose the direction."

Lin Chen observed the growth of the branches and leaves of the trees and finally pointed to a direction, "Let’s head east."

After the scare, everyone continued on their journey. However, after this near miss, everyone’s trust in Lin Chen had increased even more.

Under normal circumstances, in such a harsh environment, the only choice for the leader would have been to let everyone flee in different directions, and whether anyone could escape would be left to fate.

But Lin Chen took the responsibility to lead the escape and successfully brought everyone out without a scratch.

That was amazing!

The giant tiger was no minor figure, most likely a Great Demon on par with the Void stage. Even the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn’t guarantee escape, but Lin Chen, a Nascent Soul Early Stage, managed to escape. That was a real skill.

No wonder he could escape the clutches of the Red Dragon King back then...

Everyone kept flying on their boat, occasionally encountering other cultivators on the way. However, they didn’t interact with each other, and some even ran away when they saw Lin Chen and the others.

Where was the basic trust between people?

This was too exaggerated.

The group flew for half a day and reached a giant mountain in front of them, blocking their way.

The mountain peak was very high, towering into the clouds with a peculiar shape, like a tree trunk with small peaks protruding on the sides, like branches growing on the main peak above.

"Giant Tree Peak!"

Mo Wen called out excitedly, "We’re in luck; there is a large expanse of ancient battlefields nearby."

Lin Chen took out a map that he’d compiled from various maps of different sects, still not a complete map of the True Dragon Secret Realm, but at least it covered more than half of the area.

Lin Chen found the location of Giant Tree Peak on the map and saw that they were in the southern part of the True Dragon Secret Realm. North of Giant Tree Peak, at some distance, laid a vast region of ancient battlefields.

There were multiple ancient battlefields in the True Dragon Secret Realm, some discovered and some not. Careful searching within the scope of the ancient battlefields often yielded rewards.

"Since we’ve confirmed there’s an ancient battlefield, let’s go explore it."

Everyone crossed Giant Tree Peak and headed north. Soon, the verdant mountains began to become barren, the ground a dark red color as if soaked in blood. The air was filled with the faint smell of blood and the intense murderous aura that had lingered for ages.

On the ground, there were abandoned and broken bronze war chariots, monster bones as big as small hills, broken flying swords, flying boats, and human bones...

Standing in the air and looking out, the desolate and solemn scene stretched all the way to the horizon, seemingly boundless like the desolate Gobi.

"How many people must have died to create such a scene?"

"This is just one of the ancient battlefields recorded on the map, and it’s not even the most prominent one. It is said that some of the discovered ancient battlefields are more than ten times larger than this one."

Lin Chen led everyone forward for several dozen kilometers before landing on a hill.

"It doesn’t seem very dangerous here. Let’s temporarily search the area nearby and regroup here after half a day has passed."
