Even though a terrifying and ferocious aura was emanating from the cave, Lin Chen still did not intend to give up easily. His intuition told him that the opportunities hidden in the cave were unimaginable!
With a flip of his palm, Lin Chen tightly grasped some gravels. Releasing his chi, he suddenly flung them aggressively into the dim cave.
The gravels shot into the cave without any response at all.
"Could the beast inside have gone out?"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up as he carefully approached.
Stepping into the cave, there was a whole new world inside with curtains of flowing water everywhere within the spacious interior constructing a nest.
And the cyan glow that Lin Chen saw was behind those water curtains!
Dashing through the water curtains, Lin Chen discovered an egg-sized, cyan-colored attribute light ball that was swirling with cyan!
Indistinctly, a dragon-shaped cyan phantom was curling inside the light ball!
Picking up the cyan light ball, a light screen popped up in front of Lin Chen's eyes.
[Congratulations host for obtaining 10 points of ancient Green Dragon bloodline energy.]
Green Dragon bloodline?
Lin Chen's mouth opened slightly in surprise as the cyan light ball quivered and fused into his left arm.
Just then, a faint pattern of cyan scales emerged on Lin Chen's left arm!
Boom~~!
A tyrannical aura as ferocious as an ancient beast's roar transmitted out from Lin Chen's left arm!
He could feel that the energy and blood power contained within his left arm had risen sharply!
"So this Green Dragon bloodline can temporarily increase my strength?"
Lin Chen was overjoyed. As long as he stirred the Green Dragon bloodline in his arm, boundless power would surge out!
Rumble~~!
Before he could feel the newly generated power, violent tremors transmitted from the outside world. Lin Chen was shocked. Could it be the master of this nest returning?
Activating the Wind Striding movement technique, Lin Chen directly charged out of the cave. Residual ripples from a battle were coming from the lake outside Red Peak Forest!
"Let's go take a look!"
Eyes narrowing, Lin Chen's body moved as swift as the wind, traversing hundreds of meters in just a few flashes.
...
Red Peak Forest, Silent Lake.
A giant horned green python with a cyan horn on its head was engaged in fierce combat with seven human silhouettes. Shockwaves exploded with the lake water rippling in layers of splashing.
Flashing silhouettes, continuous dazzling blades. Sharp edges slashed at the green python's scales, spurting cyan beast blood. The giant green python bellowed nonstop in pain as its thick tail swept wildly!
"Not good! Ying Er be careful!"
The white-clothed youth fighting the python called out in alarm. The provoked python suddenly swung its tail with extreme speed towards another girl!
The latter was caught unprepared. Her beautiful eyes trembled as she already envisioned the scene of her tragic death!
Whoosh~~!
As the tail slammed down and the others' faces turned pale without seeing the bloody scene they expected, they were momentarily stunned.
Yue Ying's delicate body quivered slightly. She who had just closed her eyes awaiting death was suddenly shocked to find herself embraced in a pair of strong arms with the masculine aura of a man assaulting her senses.
Opening her eyes, she saw a youth in cyan robes still with a hint of childishness, a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Lin Chen casually smiled. Earlier, he had conveniently picked up two blue attribute light balls which he had secretly absorbed.
[Host has obtained 150 points of water element essence, 80 points of battle qi essence.]
"Thank you, what's your name? Are you a disciple of the Outer Sect?"
When Lin Chen put Yue Ying down, a hint of red colored her pretty face, but seeing Lin Chen's attire she was shocked inside. That earlier speed, even she who knew the top ten disciples of the Outer Sect could not necessarily match!
"Senior sister, let's first take care of the enemy in front of us."
Lin Chen smiled with a shake of his head, tactfully retreating to one side. He naturally knew these seven people were Inner Sect disciples of the Shenwu Sect, but this Demonic Green Python was not easy to deal with.
This kind of beast contained a trace of ancient primordial beast bloodline, far exceeding beasts of the same level!
As just a first rank beast, it could contend with the seven Inner Sect disciples!
"This brat is from the Outer Sect? That speed just now was interesting."
A burly man in black armor glanced at Lin Chen, clicking his tongue in wonder.
The youth in white had flaming anger in his eyes, but still could not conceal the shock within them.
Could this be a dark horse beyond the top ten disciples of the Outer Sect? That earlier speed had clearly reached the Qi Refining Realm!
"Now's not the time to be distracted. This big guy has been provoked!"
A heroic short-haired girl in armor sternly shouted. Her blade drew a over three meter long silvery white fighting aura blade!
The others immediately concentrated, disregarding Lin Chen as they attacked again!
"Junior brother, this Demonic Green Python is ferocious and overbearing. Quickly retreat!"
Yue Ying stood sword in hand, her graceful and elegant posture blocking Lin Chen. Even with outstanding speed, she still did not think Lin Chen could join in their circle's battle!
Lin Chen smiled with a shake of his head, tactfully retreating to the side. He naturally knew he was no match for the Demonic Green Python.
There were large quantities of attribute light balls left behind by the seven disciples' battle all around. It would be foolish not to pick them up!
[150 points vitality, 120 points battle qi essence, 155 points water element, 142 points skill essence, 12 points...spirit]
The quality of the attribute light balls here was extremely high. Even the very rare spirit attribute light balls existed, making Lin Chen want to grin from ear to ear.
With so many attribute light balls, he need not worry about being unable to enter the Qi Refining Realm in a short period of time!
"What's that brat randomly rummaging about over there? Yue Ying, why don't you ask him to help? With his skills, he should be able to share some of the battle burden!"
The burly man in black armor inadvertently caught sight of Lin Chen continuously bending over randomly searching around. He shouted at Yue Ying in puzzlement and astonishment.
"He's still in the Body Refining Realm. Getting involved in this battle is certain death!"
Yue Ying shouted back without even turning her head, reversing her sword to send out three sword qi that blasted back the python's attack.
"This damn thing is so tough!"
The burly man wielded a black iron giant hammer. His arms numb, he smashed the python's head three times with his martial techniques but only managed to irritate it painly without any substantial damage!
"It has its limits. We just need to persevere!"
The youth in white shouted as he closed in on Yue Ying.
On the other side, Lin Chen had already picked up over a hundred attribute light balls with an explosive harvest!

"After absorbing 2000 points of vitality, with 1800 left, I've finally reached the 9th layer of the Body Refining Realm! It's time to kill this big guy and obtain more of the Green Dragon bloodline!"
Lin Chen had a ferocious aura as he looked at the Demonic Green Python. His eyes contained the boldness of fearlessness!
He shook his shoulders, the bones within his mortal shell issuing blasts as if a ferocious Green Dragon about to be born!

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
