Chapter 1786 - 1787: Misty Forest
"Lin Chen, if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have been able to snatch these three young mystical beasts from the tiger's mouth. You can pick two."
"Alright!" Lin Chen did not decline and walked up to the mystical beasts.
Lin Chen's gaze swept over the three mystical beasts, and with a slight smile, he picked the smallest one and another that looked somewhat cute.
Seeing the two mystical beasts Lin Chen chose, Tian Susu was stunned.
"Why didn't you pick the strongest one? Those two you chose are rather weak."
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Perhaps it's just a matter of first impressions. I'll take these two."
In fact, Lin Chen chose the weakest one because Little Handsome picked it for him.
Lin Chen had absolute trust in Little Handsome's choice.
As for the other cute one, Lin Chen decided to give it to Shangguan Wan'er.
"Since we've divided the loot, let's say our goodbyes here." Lin Chen said with a faint smile.
Tian Susu nodded, "Then let's take it slow and meet on the rivers and lakes again."
With that, she clasped her fists towards Lin Chen and disappeared into the jungle.
Lin Chen also stored the two little beasts in the Tianyan space and rushed towards the gathering place of the Jade Lady Peak disciples.
Even Lin Chen hadn't expected such a large gain just after entering the demon realm.
These two mystical beasts alone could fetch an astronomical price outside.
Lin Chen returned to where the Jade Lady Peak disciples had been, only to find no one there.
"How could this be?" Lin Chen frowned.
Looking around, there were no signs of a fight anywhere.
This meant the Jade Lady Peak disciples had left voluntarily.
"Damn it, didn't I just warn them not to move around?"
At that moment, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, looking towards a spot not far off.
"Who's there? Come out."
At that moment, two demon clansmen dressed in beast hides appeared in front and behind Lin Chen.
Feeling the aura from the two, Lin Chen's heart sank.
The strength of these two was actually at the peak of Demon Lord level.
Demon Lord peak level, not much different from Immortal Emperor peak level.
Now Lin Chen was increasingly worried about the situation of Shangguan Wan'er and the others.
But for now, Lin Chen couldn't think of much and could only focus on dealing with these two Demon Lords first.
"Tsk tsk, the boss really has divine foresight, there truly is a fish that slipped through the net," a three-eyed Demon Lord sneered.
"Where did you take the Jade Lady Peak disciples?" Lin Chen asked coldly.
The three-eyed Demon Lord sneered, "They, uh, went into the Misty Forest."
"Misty Forest?" Lin Chen's eyes slightly narrowed.
"Yes, the Misty Forest in the demon realm is filled with intersecting mists. It's said that no one who enters can come back out," the three-eyed Demon Lord sneered.
Lin Chen's expression slightly changed, silently regretting leaving them here.
"Alright, Three-Eyes, stop wasting words with this kid, kill him and then we'll go find other prey," said another Demon Lord with a bear head coldly.
Lin Chen looked at the two, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Do you really think you're the hunters and I'm the prey?"
Seeing the teasing expression on Lin Chen's face, the two Demon Lords' expressions changed.
Suddenly, shadows flickered behind them.
Two figures abruptly appeared in front of them.
"Bang bang!"
With two muffled sounds, the two were actually smashed to the ground by the two attacks.
Behind them, a person appeared.
"Brother Chen, we've arrived."
It was none other than Li Feng and Feng Jiu.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "You two have come to join the fun as well."
Feng Jiu laughed, "Yes, we heard it was lively here, how could we miss it? Besides, we couldn't rest assured with just you coming in alone."
Hearing their words, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart.
The two Demon Lords, seeing Lin Chen now had two more helpers, immediately looked distressed.
Previously, they had the advantage against one.
Now the situation had reversed; the three were against two.
The three-eyed Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said to the bear-headed Demon Lord, "Retreat!"
The pressure from these three was immense, and none seemed easy to handle.
"You think you can just leave?" Lin Chen snorted coldly.
Saying so, Lin Chen and the others rushed towards the direction the two were escaping.
However, suddenly, Lin Chen's expression changed, noticing something amiss around them.
The three-eyed and bear-headed Demon Lords stood not far away, sneering, "Idiot, enjoy the magic stone formation laid by our big brother."
With that, the two began to flee to the distance.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, countless stone figures emerged from the ground.
These stone figures were five to six meters tall, their eyes glistened with a black light.
Swish swish swish!
Beams of light shot towards the three instantaneously.
"Be careful not to get hit by the black light," Lin Chen's expression changed as he shouted to Feng Jiu and Li Feng.
Lin Chen's eyes focused, a black vortex appeared in his palm.
"Devour."
With a shout, Lin Chen actually swallowed all those beams of black light into the vortex.
At that moment, the surrounding rock monsters swung their massive arms towards the two men.
"Oh no!"
Hundreds of rock monsters moved at once, instantly creating an earth-shattering feeling.
Playing around with formations every day, but today caught in someone else's formation.
Lin Chen usually used formations to trap others, but today he was caught in someone else's.
More rock monsters continuously emerged from the ground, as Lin Chen and the others dodged left and right. Although they destroyed some, these creatures seemed endless, recreating their bodies almost instantly.
The three kept smashing the rock monsters beside them, but as the rock monsters kept appearing, their expressions grew solemn.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said, "There's only one way to kill these rock monsters instantly, or we have to break the formation."
Feng Jiu snorted, "Can this formation trap this Master Jiu?"
As his words fell, Feng Jiu gathered streams of violent energy in his palm.
"Break it for me!"
Boom!
The energy shot skyward, exploding fiercely.
Instantly, the rock monsters around them fell and shattered.
The rock monsters surrounding the three were all cleared.
Yet, just as the three were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the rock monsters on the ground quickly regenerated.
"Damn it, this won't work. The rock monsters regenerate too quickly; they can't be killed all at once," Feng Jiu frowned.
"Lin Chen, you have the wood attribute; wood can counter earth. Give it a try," Li Feng said seriously.
"Alright!" Lin Chen nodded, green energy quickly gathering in his palm and then erupting suddenly.
Green beams of light instantly invaded the bodies of the rock monsters.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions rang out as the lights inside the rock monsters erupted.
In an instant, the rock monsters turned to dust.
"Success," Feng Jiu said joyfully, looking at the ground.
This time, the rock monsters Lin Chen killed didn't regenerate, but died completely.
"Phew!" Finally, they were free.
Lin Chen exhaled, but his gaze fell on the mist-covered forest not far off, and his brows furrowed.
