Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: A Timely Rescue
After swatting the black venomous bee to death, the Little Profound Turtle rapidly shrank and once again transformed to the size of a palm, landing on Lin Chen’s shoulder.
The form displayed by the Little Profound Turtle just now was not its complete form.
After its bloodline upgrade, the true form of the Little Profound Turtle could now reach seven thousand feet, an incredibly massive size.
Even before its bloodline evolution, killing such a venomous bee with only a slightly mutated bloodline was not too strenuous for the Little Profound Turtle. Now, with the bloodline evolved, handling it was even easier.
"Well done, absorbing so much of my starlight power was indeed worthwhile,"
Lin Chen looked at the formidable strength of the Little Profound Turtle and laughed happily.
Though the battle prowess of the Little Profound Turtle was not comparable to Dragon Fang, it was still a powerful hand, albeit a bit hard to control. Sometimes this guy dared to disobey orders and do the opposite, but in the face of the big picture, it did not dare to defy Lin Chen’s command.
"Hmph, of course, not to see who this little... this prince is,"
The Little Profound Turtle couldn’t help but proudly say after hearing Lin Chen’s praise.
After exterminating the black venomous bee, Lin Chen did not intend to let its body go and immediately flew forward to collect the bee’s corpse and demon core.
The wings and stingers of this bee are top-notch refinement materials, the venom inside can be used for alchemy. As for the flesh, no matter what, this guy is a powerful mutated magical beast and can be given to Xiao Tian to see if it wants to eat it. After all, the bee was crushed by a slap from the Little Profound Turtle, looking quite unsightly.
Even the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron disliked it, refusing to let Lin Chen put it into the spatial storage, leaving Lin Chen no choice but to put it in another spatial ring.
After collecting the black venomous bee’s corpse, Lin Chen continued to head north.
After flying for about an hour, about a hundred miles away from Lin Chen, again came a wave of strong spiritual power.
Lin Chen immediately became highly vigilant, stealthily approaching, thinking he might be able to watch the tigers fight from a mountain, taking advantage of the situation when the ferocious beasts are both injured to let the Little Profound Turtle make a move.
Before long, Lin Chen arrived at the battle scene and indeed saw a giant demon scorpion. However, the one battling it was not a magical beast but a fiery beauty in a red skirt.
That woman was none other than Zhang Hongying, whom Lin Chen knew.
At this moment, Zhang Hongying was locked in an intense battle with the demon scorpion. Despite her cultivation being inferior to the beast, her combat power was not compromised in the slightest.
"So, it’s this foolish girl capable of fighting this beast so fiercely,"
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying and said lightly.
As one of the Top Ten Heroes, Zhang Hongying naturally had some methods.
Moreover, after joining the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, this woman cultivated strong cultivation techniques and martial skills, becoming even more powerful than before.
But after watching the battle for a while, Lin Chen saw that the outcome for Zhang Hongying was difficult to predict in the short term.
The demon scorpion had the strength of the Fourth Layer of the Creation Realm, with astonishing defensive power. If things continued this way, Zhang Hongying might exhaust herself first.
Therefore, if Zhang Hongying wanted to defeat this demon scorpion, she had to end the battle quickly, using strong methods for a swift kill.
Lin Chen was somewhat hesitant about whether to help Zhang Hongying.
However, just then, Zhang Hongying suddenly soared high into the sky, giving a light shout as her sharp sword emitted a silver-white glow. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and those silver-white glows merged into the sword. Then, she slashed down at the demon scorpion below.
The silver-white sword light carried an incredibly icy power, landing on the demon scorpion and freezing it directly. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Hongying, grasping her sharp sword, transformed into a flash of light, rushed toward the demon scorpion, and cleaved off its head in an instant.
Boom—
Powerful energy erupted in the mire, and Zhang Hongying finally slew the demon scorpion.
However, to kill the demon scorpion, Zhang Hongying herself paid a significant price, consuming seventy to eighty percent of her spiritual power. If another magical beast or enemy appeared now, she would be in danger.
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying, seeing her drenched in sweat, her clothes soaked, with streaks of mud on her fair face. She had a particular charm at this moment.
One must admit that Zhang Hongying’s current appearance held a deadly allure for men.
With a wave of her hand, she collected the demon scorpion’s corpse and flew toward Lin Chen’s direction.
When Lin Chen first arrived, Zhang Hongying actually noticed him, though this was also because Lin Chen hadn’t hidden his aura.
Initially, Zhang Hongying didn’t know it was Lin Chen approaching, so she was a bit wary. After all, in these ruins, one must be cautious even of fellow disciples; no one knew if they might be stabbed in the back, robbed, or killed.
However, once Zhang Hongying sensed the aura from Lin Chen, she confirmed that the martial artist before her was indeed Lin Chen.
As he saw Zhang Hongying flying towards him, Lin Chen frowned slightly, contemplating whether to leave immediately. It’s not that he’s afraid of Zhang Hongying, but he doesn’t want to expose the power of the Little Profound Turtle.
If Zhang Hongying suggested traveling together, Lin Chen did not want to agree.
But leaving abruptly at this moment would seem suspicious.
"Whatever, let this woman think whatever she wants,"
Lin Chen ultimately decided it was better to leave directly, not wanting to have any association with Zhang Hongying.
However, just as Lin Chen was preparing to leave, his entire body hair stood on end, and a sense of crisis instinctively surged up in his heart.
Looking at Zhang Hongying, who wasn’t far from him, Lin Chen didn’t think twice and immediately transformed into a purple lightning bolt, flying over to embrace Zhang Hongying, swiftly leaving the spot.
Just as Lin Chen grasped Zhang Hongying and left, an immensely massive skull emerged from the mire.
The skull snapped at the spot where Zhang Hongying stood. Fortunately, Lin Chen responded swiftly, using the Purple Thunder Shield Technique to rescue Zhang Hongying. Otherwise, with that bite, Zhang Hongying would have faced grave danger.
Zhang Hongying did not react for a moment, seeing Lin Chen suddenly pounce toward her, about to become angry, thinking Lin Chen had some intentions toward her.
