Chapter 1794 - 1795: Divine-Grade Treasure
Lin Chen took two high-level magical artifacts and then said contentedly, "Alright, wait here. I'll go find some food for you."
As he spoke, Lin Chen went straight back to the door.
As soon as the door opened, the people from the Hei An sect outside stared at Lin Chen with fierce eyes.
"So it was you, kid." Seeing Lin Chen, Li Heihu was so angry that his teeth itched.
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled, "Gentlemen, are you looking for treasures inside? I'll open the door and let you in."
"Hmm." Li Heihu eyed Lin Chen warily, feeling as if there were a trap within.
Lin Chen smiled, "There are divine artifacts inside, and I can take you to them. However, you must let me go."
Li Heihu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Alright, if we really get a divine artifact, I can let you go."
Even though he said it aloud, Li Heihu had already marked Lin Chen on the list of those who must be killed.
Once they seized the treasures, they intended to kill Lin Chen.
Lin Chen opened the door a crack and then returned to the space inside.
"Let's go in." Li Heihu, overjoyed, led his people straight into the space.
Li Heihu led the martial artists to the temple they encountered earlier.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "The treasures are inside."
Li Heihu's group looked at the temple, greed etched on their faces.
They sensed strong waves of Spiritual Power from the temple.
This indicated that there must be many artifacts inside.
Li Heihu nodded, "Boy, you are sensible. In that case, I will spare your life."
Though he spoke of mercy, a black dagger had already appeared in his palm.
Li Heihu and his group moved towards the temple, and when they were about ten meters away from Lin Chen, Li Heihu's wrist suddenly shook, "Boy, die for me."
"Li Heihu, you bastard, you're breaking your word." Lin Chen dodged the dagger in the blink of an eye and turned to run into the temple.
"Chase!"
A flash of ferocity appeared in Li Heihu's eyes as he shouted at his men.
His subordinates, their eyes gleaming coldly, immediately rushed into the temple.
However, inside the vast temple, there was no sign of Lin Chen.
Just then, a cackling sounded within the temple.
"Hmm, that boy was indeed honest, bringing me so much food."
With the cold voice, a young girl walked out from the darkness.
Seeing the young girl, everyone frowned.
For some unknown reason, she gave off a sense of danger.
Li Heihu snorted coldly, "Little girl, who are you? Where did that boy who just came in go?"
The girl's tongue licked, its blood-red length like a lizard's.
"You mean that boy? It was only his Primordial Spirit; he led you here." The girl sneered.
"What did you say?" Li Heihu's face changed.
Damn it, tricked again.
Li Heihu's eyes flickered as he shouted to his men, "Go, kill her."
With those words, his Hei An sect subordinates charged at the girl, but Li Heihu desperately rushed towards the outside.
A chilling laughter echoed, "Hahaha, you are all my food. No one is allowed to leave."
As the words fell, the girl's body suddenly swelled into a giant spider form.
Her appearance was terrifying, her blood-red mouth wide open.
When Li Heihu saw the monster before him, his face turned as pale as paper.
Strings of silver threads flew out, entangling the martial artists of the Hei An sect.
As Li Heihu was about to rush out of the temple, he felt his foot snag.
The spider monster had spat out silk to snare his foot.
Li Heihu's expression changed as he saw the martial artists of the Hei An sect standing no chance against the spider monster, themselves suspended by silver threads from the ceiling.
Without a doubt, their fate would be miserable.
Li Heihu knew that if he were caught, he was as good as dead.
Gritting his teeth, Li Heihu spat black blood, and a black fog swiftly transformed into a giant black tiger, biting the silver threads fiercely.
Snap, snap.
With Li Heihu using his life essence, the silver threads were actually bitten through.
Freeing himself, Li Heihu desperately dashed for the entrance.
At this moment, his gaze sharpened because he saw a shadow in the nearby shadow also charging out alongside him—Lin Chen.
Almost simultaneously, the spider monster went berserk, "You wretched boy, you dare steal my artifact; where are you running?"
The spider monster abandoned chasing Li Heihu, madly pursuing Lin Chen.
Unfortunately, Lin Chen's speed was too fast; in the blink of an eye, he reached in front of Li Heihu.
Li Heihu, still stunned, saw a sly smile on Lin Chen's lips, "Brother Li, the spider behind seems to fancy you. I'll help you with that; stay with it!"
After his words, Lin Chen unleashed a whip-like kick to Li Heihu's chest and used the rebounding force to dash outside.
Li Heihu, having barely reached the door, was sadly kicked back by Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, this isn't over between us!" The temple echoed with Li Heihu's miserable shout.
Standing outside the temple, Lin Chen listened to the battle sounds within, utterly thrilled.
Lin Chen had used Li Heihu and his men as a shield, sneaking into the spider monster's lair under invisibility, where he found something good—a divine protective gauze dress.
Lin Chen pocketed the dress, grabbed a few more artifacts, and then exited the cave.
Regrettably, with only five minutes of invisibility, Lin Chen was still spotted when he reached the door.
Luckily, Li Heihu was there, and by using him as a shield, Lin Chen escaped.
Breathing a sigh of relief after breaking through the stone door, Lin Chen was delighted, having obtained such a fantastic item.
Outside, Feng Jiu and Li Feng arrived.
"Boss, what did you get?" Feng Jiu asked.
Lin Chen smiled, "A divine artifact, the Nine-Colored Sky Skirt."
"Wow, what great luck!" Li Feng exclaimed excitedly.
"This is a divine item; let's discuss how to allocate it," Lin Chen said seriously.
"Allocate what? We each get one item, and this one's yours," Feng Jiu generously offered.
Li Feng also chimed in, "We're all men, after all; we can't be wearing a skirt all the time, can we? Keep this skirt for yourself."
Lin Chen was moved; even though they said that, divine items were extraordinarily valuable.
"In that case, I'll first thank you both." Lin Chen clasped his fists at them.
"Let's continue finding treasures." Feng Jiu laughed.
Lin Chen nodded, his eyes turning to a cave, "Li Heihu, don't blame me for being ruthless; you made the first move."
The three of them continued forward, encountering many treasure points along the way, but unfortunately, the treasures there had already been taken.
Then, in the distance, a crowd gathered, and a voice called out, "Selling red keys, a thousand spirit stones. No deception."
