Chapter 1444 - 1445: The Resurrected Spirit Beasts
The insects that were crawling towards Lin Chen suddenly stopped, and those on Lin Chen quickly crawled down from his body.
In an instant, the swarm of insects seemed to have received some command, lying motionless in front of Lin Chen.
"What's going on?" Everyone was stunned.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing he had control over the situation.
"Alright, we can leave now," Lin Chen said to the group.
"Lin Chen, you actually controlled these insects?" Zhang Yu exclaimed in shock.
"Because I have control over the mother insect, let's hurry and leave here," Lin Chen replied.
Lin Chen knew that once the mother insect left the cave, it would quickly die, and if it died, those insects would go out of control again, and then Lin Chen would be helpless.
As they were leaving, Lin Chen suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on a pile of rocks not far away.
"What's wrong, Lin Chen?" Alice asked.
"The mother insect just told me there might be treasure in the rocky area not far from here. Let's go take a look," Lin Chen said solemnly.
In a flash, the group was jumping among the rocks, quickly arriving at the rocky area.
"There's nothing here," Alice said, looking around.
Lin Chen's gaze swept over the rocky area, his eyes slightly focused.
He flipped his wrist, and a burst of power shot forth, revealing several dead monsters on the ground.
"What are these things?"
The group looked at the four monsters standing on the ground, puzzled.
These four monsters looked strange, resembling fish but with legs.
They had tusks, and their claws were extremely sharp.
However, when Lin Chen looked at the mouths of these monsters, his lips curled into a slight smile.
"Look at the mouths of those monsters," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Following Lin Chen's direction, the group saw a faint white glow emanating from the mouths of the four monsters, the light exuding a gentle spiritual energy.
"These are Spirit Beast Pellets, I've heard only legendary spirit beasts have them," Alice said excitedly.
Spirit Beast Pellets, rumored to be possessed only by thousand-year spirit beasts, have significant effects for martial artists. Absorbing the powerful spiritual energy during a breakthrough can greatly aid the progress, even increasing the success rate by twenty percent.
These Spirit Beast Pellets must have absorbed a millennia's worth of sunlight and moonlight essence, smooth all over, emitting strong spiritual energy, definitely not ordinary items.
These are treasures hard to find even for a fortune.
The group was exceedingly excited; none of them expected that upon entering here, they would find such treasures.
Even Lin Chen's eyes showed a fiery expression looking at the four glowing Spirit Beast Pellets.
If it weren't for the mother insect giving him this information, discovering these Spirit Beast Pellets would have been exceedingly difficult.
"We're really lucky," Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Alice also smiled, "Lin Chen, how about we each take two?"
"Alright, I agree," Lin Chen nodded.
Just as they were about to take the Spirit Beast Pellets, suddenly, there was a sound of something slicing through the air behind them.
Soon, several figures appeared beside Lin Chen and his group.
Seeing the newly appeared group, Lin Chen's eyes slightly narrowed.
Judging from their attire, it was apparent these were martial artists from Bangzi Country.
"Hehe, no wonder I just smelled the scent of treasure, so it's these Spirit Beast Pellets," a young man with a sharp nose said greedily, looking at the Spirit Beast Pellets.
Zhang Yu and the others' faces immediately changed upon witnessing this, originally about to take the Spirit Beast Pellets, those were already theirs, but these people suddenly appeared, clearly intending to steal the treasure.
The leader of the three martial artists from Bangzi Country, a blonde-haired warrior, slowly stepped forward, staring at the Spirit Beast Pellets with greed, then said with a smile: "Since we've arrived, finders keepers. How about splitting evenly, each of us taking two?"
"Wait, there are six of us, only three of you, why should six of us share only two?" Zhang Yu protested.
"You can't say that, everyone knows that your Huaxia martial arts and the Pantheon are already like family," the blonde-haired warrior sneered.
"Lin Yongxuan, the items were found by us, you really have no share," Alice snorted coldly.
"So what you're saying is, you're planning to fight?" Lin Yongxuan's gaze turned cold.
"Hah, there are six of us, only three of you, who'd be afraid!" Alice said coldly.
"Really? As soon as I send out the information, martial artists nearby will come rushing over. By then, even taking two might be tough for you," Weber sneered.
"Forget it, give them two," Lin Chen suddenly said.
"Lin Chen!" Lin Yongxuan was slightly dissatisfied upon hearing this.
Lin Chen shook his head towards Alice, signaling her to follow his lead.
Though puzzled, Alice knew Lin Chen wasn't the kind of person to be timid or weak, so there must be a reason for his decision.
"Alright, you take them first," Lin Chen said very graciously.
Listening to Lin Chen, Zhang Yu and the others were stunned; this wasn't Lin Chen's style.
Seeing Lin Chen compromise, Lin Yongxuan chuckled, "Brother Lin Chen knows what's best, since you agreed, we will proceed to take the Spirit Beast Pellets.
Lin Yongxuan then told the sharp-nosed warrior, "Piao Ji-nam, go down and fetch the pellets."
"Got it," Piao Ji-nam nodded, directly heading towards the spirit beasts.
At that moment, Lin Chen transmitted a message to the others: "Everyone be careful, step back, these spirit beasts have issues."
Receiving Lin Chen's warning, the others quietly stepped back a few steps, circulating their spiritual energy.
At this point, Piao Ji-nam's hand had already reached into the mouth of one of the spirit beasts.
Suddenly, a terrifying thing happened, the spirit beast's eyes moved, and in the next instant, it bite down fiercely.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Piao Ji-nam's hand was severed in an instant, and at the same time, the other three spirit beasts suddenly came to life.
Before Piao Ji-nam could react, the other three spirit beasts pounced.
Amidst his shrieking cries, Piao Ji-nam was instantly torn apart by the four spirit beasts.
Witnessing this bloody scene, Lin Chen took a cold breath, realizing that if they had gone to fetch the pills, their result would have been similar.
"Ji-nam." The two martial artists not far away, seeing Piao Ji-nam killed, showed angry and sorrowful expressions and charged towards the four spirit beasts.
"Damn, these spirit beasts aren't dead, they're just in a dormant state," Lin Chen's eyes showed a trace of heaviness.
The strength of these four spirit beasts had reached mid-level demigod realms, what's more concerning was their thick hides, rendering the two's attacks ineffective.
The two martial artists from Bangzi Country quickly felt strained against the spirit beasts.
"Retreat!" Lin Yongxuan shouted to the other martial artist.
"Let's go too, being targeted by these monsters would be troublesome," Lin Chen said solemnly.
