Chapter 609: Hidden Head and Revealed Tail
But there was a deafening roar from below, followed by an overwhelming stench.
The expressions of Lin Chen and others changed slightly.
"These strange beasts are chasing us." Long Linger's face was extremely solemn.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and others all turned around and looked behind them.
Sure enough, behind them, hundreds of strange beasts were rushing up in a mighty manner.
"Let's go." Liang Baikai's face changed drastically.
"Don't worry."
Lin Chen waved his hand, and his figure suddenly appeared in the void outside the valley. Then he drew several circles in the air with his right hand, and in an instant, the surrounding environment changed abruptly.
A large number of trees appeared around him, blocking the sky, with green leaves swaying, like a paradise.
Immediately afterwards, several large trees rose from the ground, blocking the way of Liang Baikai and others.
"This... what's going on? Why are there so many trees suddenly appearing around us? Oh my God, is this an illusion? Why didn't I notice anything at all?" Liang Baikai said in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
"I don't know." Lin Chen shrugged.
"Since this valley is an illusion, we must break it now." Liang Baikai said.
Lin Chen nodded.
He looked around.
Soon, his eyes locked on several towering ancient trees not far away. He flashed over and swung his right fist violently.
A muffled sound was heard, and those ancient trees were instantly smashed by him, turning into endless debris that flew down.
As the ancient tree was destroyed, the scene in the valley slowly dissipated.
Everyone's vision suddenly became clear again.
"This is..." Everyone stared at their surroundings in a daze.
The dark valley had disappeared, and in its place was a forest full of greenery and fragrant flowers, which was magnificent.
"Come out."
Just when everyone was immersed in the moment, Lin Chen's eyes were clear and he shouted loudly.
"What are you doing?"
When Li Goudan was about to ask, several dark shadows appeared in front of him, scaring him and he quickly jumped away.
"You go first, I'll stop them."
When he first entered this space, Lin Chen felt something was wrong. It was not until the scene changed that he realized that all this was caused by him.
There are strange beasts running rampant outside now, and Fo Yide is short of manpower. Liang Baikai and the others go to help, while he stays behind.
"Okay." Li Goudan and others nodded.
Although he was worried, he also knew that staying here would only be a burden to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen felt relieved after watching them leave.
However, at this moment, several sounds of breaking wind were heard, and then a black light shot towards him at an incredibly fast speed, arriving in the blink of an eye.
"Hide the head and show the tail." Lin Chen snorted coldly.
He made hand gestures with one hand and cast a magic circle.
I saw the vital energy in his body surging out wildly, gathering in the palm of his hand, and then suddenly chopped out.
The sword energy broke through the air, carrying terrifying power towards the black light.
The black light was instantly destroyed and dissipated into starlight all over the sky.
"Hmm? This guy is quite capable."
The person hiding in the darkness had a slight glimmer in his eyes.
From the bushes below, several black rays of light whizzed out again, at an even faster speed.
The corners of Lin Chen's mouth drew an icy arc.
He took a sudden step forward, and his figure appeared beside one of the warriors like a ghost.
He slapped out with his right palm, and the palm print burst into brilliant golden light, hitting the warrior's chest hard.
The warrior spurted blood, his body was thrown out, and the ancient tree next to him was knocked down.
At the same time, the other two black rays were approaching Lin Chen, attacking his left and right shoulders respectively.
Lin Chen was prepared. He clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it out suddenly.
Two sounds of bones breaking were heard.
Then, a shrill scream was heard.
Lin Chen clenched his fist and stood up.
He broke the two black rays into two pieces and they fell to the ground.
Lin Chen looked at the other two warriors who had attacked him, murderous intent in his eyes.
"I didn't expect this guy to be such an expert that he could actually find our trail. In this case, brothers, we can have some fun tonight."
A sinister laugh rang out.
Afterwards, five or six warriors wrapped in black cloaks appeared out of thin air behind Lin Chen and others.
Their cloaks were extremely thin, like cicada wings, but they strangely covered their bodies completely.
"Death Hunter?"
Lin Chen frowned.
The Death Hunters are a well-known mercenary group in the Southern Territory, specializing in assassination missions and capturing various exotic beasts to earn huge commissions.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, just surrender and follow me to collect the reward. Otherwise, hehe, if I have to do it myself, you'll probably suffer." The leading man said jokingly, holding a dagger and looking at Lin Chen greedily.
Lin Chen looked at the group of death hunters with an indifferent look. He said calmly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"court death."
The leading man was furious. He growled and suddenly raised his hand. In an instant, dense runes lit up on the surface of his arm. The dagger in his hand suddenly stabbed at Lin Chen, and the sharp tip of the blade shot out a dazzling cold light.
This cold light was extremely terrifying. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making crackling sounds.
"So fast."
Lin Chen's pupils shrank slightly. He could clearly feel that this guy's strength was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary half-step master.
"Die."
The Death Hunter roared ferociously.
The sharp dagger pierced Lin Chen's throat.
However, the dagger did not penetrate Lin Chen's neck as he expected. Instead, the dagger stopped in mid-air and could not move forward any further.
"What's going on?" The Death Hunter was stunned.
At this time, a cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
“This…this is…” the Death Hunter was shocked.
Suddenly, Lin Chen's voice rang in his mind: "Boy, why don't you kneel down and surrender?"
"You really can dream."
The Death Hunter cursed, then suddenly exerted force, trying to pull out his dagger, but even though he used all his strength, it was still useless.
Lin Chen's muscles were like cast iron, firmly clamping his dagger in front of his throat.
"Damn it." The Death Hunter was very anxious.
He quickly took out his jade pendant and urged his vital energy to flow into it.
Dozens of black rays shot out from the jade pendant, sweeping over like a rain of arrows, and each black ray was filled with a sharp aura.
This is the Death Hunter's most powerful move, and also his life-saving trump card.
He had killed countless powerful enemies with this set of killing moves.
"Break it for me."
Lin Chen spat out two words coldly, then suddenly stretched out his right palm and grabbed towards the overwhelming black light.
Only the sound of thunder was heard, and all the black light was grasped in Lin Chen's hands.
He flicked his fingers, and the black light shattered and turned into starlight that filled the sky.
"How can it be…"
The Death Hunter was dumbfounded.
He never expected that the move that made him famous could be cracked by Lin Chen so simply and crudely.
