The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1208 The Correct Use of Slaves

The mountains rise like swords, reaching into the clouds, and ancient trees stand tall like swords, blocking out the sun.

Giant beasts galloped wildly through the mountains and forests, causing the forests to tremble. Giant birds took to the air, their wings spreading wide, blotting out the sun.

"There are so many giant beasts here! We've only been here a short time, and in such a small area, we've already seen so many..."

Lin Chen and Nanan Wushuang stood on the cross branch of a thousand-meter-tall tree, watching the giant beast flying overhead.

Lin Chen had already placed a death mark on the two of them when they entered. Without using spiritual energy, they were like two lifeless stones, and as long as they were not seen by the giant beast, they would not be attacked by it.

This brought Nalan Wushuang immense joy.

Putting everything else aside, this one move alone provides a huge advantage in such a dangerous place, at least in terms of safety.

"You're quite capable; that move was very effective."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since you brought me in, I naturally have to contribute my share, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of my time to come here? Tell me about the Ghost Spirit Mushroom, how do we find that thing?"

Nalan Wushuang replied, "Where the Ghost Lingzhi is located, a faint black mist will form within a certain range. The older the Ghost Lingzhi, the denser the black mist around it. We can use this to find the Ghost Lingzhi."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's good that there are clues. This forest is so dense, it would be impossible to find it without some unusual phenomena."

Nalan Wushuang pulled out a map: "This is a map of the entire Imperial Secret Realm. According to His Majesty, the closer to the center, the easier it is to find the Ghost Lingzhi. Take a look and do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Chen carefully examined the map. The Emperor's Secret Realm was roughly circular, with a circle drawn in the center, which was probably the area where Nalan Wushuang had mentioned was rich in Ghost Spirit Mushrooms.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Other sects have ten or even twenty people, but we only have two. We definitely can't win in a head-on fight. We can only rely on speed and luck, taking advantage of our ability to avoid the demonic beasts, to reach the central area as soon as possible and see if we can collect more Ghost Spirit Mushrooms..."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "I originally planned to go around the edge and try my luck, but now that you're helping to conceal our presence, we can take a gamble."

"Let's go then!"

Once they determined the direction, the two flew towards the central area.

As they flew, they alerted many giant beasts, who frantically chased after Lin Chen and his companion, but Lin Chen used his Shrinking Earth Technique to leave them far behind.

At this moment, Lin Chen's Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique could cover at least four or five kilometers with each step, and he could also control his direction of movement at will, making his whereabouts unpredictable. Although these giant beasts were powerful, they had a hard time catching up with Lin Chen.

After half a day of travel, Lin Chen and his companion approached the central area of ​​the Imperial Secret Realm and discovered the eerie black mist for the first time. "There!"

Lin Chen pointed to a valley in the distance. Despite the bright sunshine, a large cloud of black mist lingered deep within the valley, refusing to dissipate, which looked quite eerie.

Nalan Wushuang's eyes lit up: "Let's go take a look."

The two landed on the ground, flew close to the ground, and quickly approached. They stopped as soon as they entered the valley.

On the open ground of the valley, a green behemoth at least thirty or forty meters tall was leisurely lying down.

The giant beast had a triangular head with a pair of slender tentacles, a long neck, two pairs of transparent wings, and two scythe-shaped pincers, making it look incredibly ferocious.

"A giant praying mantis!"

Lin Chen had seen giant beasts hundreds of meters tall on Fog Island. Although he wasn't too surprised, he couldn't help but be curious.

"I've discovered that many of the giant beast species found here also exist outside, but their sizes vary drastically, and their combat power is completely incomparable. Are they considered beasts or demons?"

"beast."

Nalan Wushuang explained, "They are different from us. They are simply beasts, but they are ancient and exotic species. Now, the bloodlines of beasts outside have degenerated generation after generation, and the ancient bloodlines have long since disappeared. Only a very small number can survive. These creatures usually live in extremely special environments..."

Special environment?

Like Kirishima?
Nalan Wushuang stared at the giant mantis and said, "Unlike us, these giant beasts can't cast spells or forge their own magical artifacts. They rely on their racial talents and physical strength to fight. When this strength reaches a certain level, even we might not be their match..."

Lin Chen nodded: "This mantis lives in this valley, perhaps it's guarding that ghost lingzhi?"

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "It's very possible. Although these ancient behemoths may not be very intelligent, they do know what is beneficial to them. They will definitely guard top-grade rare spiritual herbs like the Ghost Spirit Mushroom."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Then let's divide the work. I'm fast, so I'll distract it. Then you can pick the fruit and run away. I'll get rid of it and then meet up with you."

Nalan Wushuang smiled slightly: "Good, you've discovered the correct usage of 'slave'!"
