Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chu Hanrou nodded upon hearing this and said,

"Brother Wu is right. We should hurry and find the thousand-year stone heart elixir, then leave this place together. Let's split up and search quickly!"

Wu Yaohan also nodded, and the three of them immediately dispersed to search for the thousand-year stone heart elixir. Hidden in a corner, Lin Chen thought mischievously,

"Take your time searching, but don't cry when you find it later!"

Just a short while later, Wu Yaohan exclaimed,

"I found it, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing her exclamation, Chu Hanrou and Wu Lang both ran over, with Wu Lang eagerly asking,

"How is it? Did you find it?"

Wu Yaohan's expression was slightly strange as she pointed to a stone behind her and said,

"I found it, but there's something odd about it. See for yourselves!"

Hearing this, Wu Lang and Chu Hanrou exchanged a glance, then approached Wu Yaohan to look at the thousand-year stone heart elixir, both frowning afterward.

"What's going on here?"

The place that originally held the dripping thousand-year stone heart elixir now only had two or three sparse drops, obviously just formed.

Wu Lang couldn't help but look at Wu Yaohan, as she was the first to arrive here.

Seeing this, Wu Yaohan immediately said,

"What are you looking at? It was already like this when I arrived. Are you suspecting me?"

Nicknamed the Little Witch, Wu Yaohan was not someone to be easily angered. Seeing Wu Lang suspect her, she was somewhat furious, while the real perpetrator was still hiding quietly in a nearby corner.

Chu Hanrou looked around the area carefully, then said,

"Brother Wu Lang, you probably misunderstood. Look, there's a groove on this stone with moss all around, but not at the gap. It seems someone dug out a piece, and likely took the thousand-year stone heart elixir as well! Although the remaining elixir is still precious, it's too little for the five of us, and it'd take another hundred years to produce as much."

Though Wu Lang remained silent, he clearly felt upset. However, since Wu Yaohan explained, and with Chu Hanrou's persuasion, he didn't say more.

Chu Hanrou gazed at the elixir that dripped only once in a long while and suddenly said,

"This stone with a dug groove seems unusual."

She extended her hand to lightly touch where Lin Chen had previously dug a piece of stone, then frowned and said,

"The cut is neat, but there are still some stone flakes, and even lingering Sword Qi. Whoever took the elixir left not long ago, maybe still nearby!"

These words made Lin Chen's heart skip from his hidden spot.

"Oh no!"

Their focus was on the thousand-year stone heart elixir, and this was the Earth Demon Bear's lair. They had scouted ahead and concluded no one else would know, but Chu Hanrou's words enlightened them. Wu Lang and Wu Yaohan's gazes sharpened, releasing their Divine Sense to search for the elusive thief.

Lin Chen was highly nervous, having never tested the efficacy of the Four Symbols Soul Extinguish slaughter before, feeling uncertain. However, escaping wasn't an option now, as getting caught would have unimaginable consequences!

Though they were five distinguished members of the outer sect, all from the same Heavenly Sword Pavilion lineage, Lin Chen wasn't foolish. He knew that absolute interests make everything else false, and having stolen the thousand-year stone heart elixir, he had no justification if caught.

As their Divine Senses expanded, coming close to Lin Chen's location, a painful roar suddenly rang out.

"Roar!!"

Before Wu Lang and the others could react, two figures shot like meteors, breaking several massive stones along the way before landing heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The three quickly focused and rushed forward to help the two up.

The two being supported were none other than Qian Jin and Mu Zhan, who were stalling the Earth Demon Bear outside as planned. Both were now spitting blood, with tattered clothes.

Mu Zhan spat a mouthful of blood, solemnly looked at the trio, and said,

"There's a change. The Earth Demon Bear has somehow activated the Dragon Bear bloodline, enough to rival some Divine Spirits. It's unbeatable!"

Everyone's expressions changed: Dragon Bear bloodline!

Even Lin Chen frowned, taken aback.

Dragons, at the pinnacle among mythical beasts since ancient times, with immense physical might, stood atop the biological pyramid.

Anything associated with dragons signified power!

The Dragon Bear was an ancient mythical beast, with some extraordinary individuals reportedly surpassing the Divine Emperor realm, wielding terrifying Innate Divine Abilities.

The Earth Demon Bear unexpectedly had a faint trace of Dragon Bear bloodline, completely catching them unawares. Outside, as Qian Jin and Mu Zhan battled the Earth Demon Bear, it flew into a rage upon detecting Wu Lang and the trio entering the cave. Unable to deal with Qian Jin and Mu Zhan, its fury triggered its Dragon Bear bloodline, instantly elevating it to the Divine Spirit realm, rendering the group helpless before it.

Qian Jin, pale, glanced at Wu Lang, asking,

"What about the thousand-year stone heart elixir? Do you have it? We need to leave quickly if so!"

After Qian Jin's words, Wu Lang, Wu Yaohan, and Chu Hanrou exchanged glances, and Wu Yaohan angrily said,

"No! While we were all out, someone else sneaked in and took it!"

"What!?!"

Qian Jin was taken aback. His meticulously detailed plan missed the fact that someone would steal the fruits of his labor!

Just as he was about to ask for details, a roar sounded, followed by a loud crash. Huge stone debris flew everywhere, with one landing right at Lin Chen's feet.

Another roar ensued, as the settling dust revealed a towering figure before them: the Earth Demon Bear, activated Dragon Bear bloodline!
