The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1209 If you run fast enough, you have nothing to fear.
What is the correct way to use slaves?
Okay, that's really true!

If the goal is to collect the Ghost Spirit Mushroom, and there are giant beasts guarding it, then it is necessary to lure them away. Each of these giant beasts is incredibly powerful, and luring them away involves enormous risks. This kind of work is most suitable to be done by human slaves.

As long as the Ghost Ganoderma can be harvested, the death of human slaves is no big deal.

Even if picking one flower results in the death of a human slave, it's not a loss!
"Hide well first, and come out when it's far away!"

"it is good!"

Nalan Wushuang had multiple death marks on her body. She quietly crept down, like a stone.

Lin Chen flew out confidently, but as soon as he left the forest, he was spotted by the giant mantis. Its dark green eyes stared at Lin Chen, filled with a cold killing intent.

It had never seen prey with such a shape before, but that didn't matter.

Alive, edible!
Its powerful limbs suddenly activated, causing the surroundings to collapse. Its forty-meter-tall body suddenly sprang up and pounced towards Lin Chen. Its two forelimbs, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, swung and slashed at Lin Chen with lightning speed.

Lin Chen took a step forward, his figure instantly flashing one or two hundred meters away. With a flick of his hand, a large rock about one meter in diameter flew up from the ground and smashed directly towards the mantis.

The stone struck the mantis, but the meteor-like rock didn't leave any damage.

As expected of an ancient and exotic species!
That's some serious defense!
Lin Chen didn't throw the stone to really hit it, but just to mock it. Sure enough, the mantis, enraged by the stone, began to show faint red in its dark green eyes. It flapped its wings and flew towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen turned and fled, with the mantis giving chase.

Lin Chen didn't use the Shrinking Earth Technique; he simply flew forward rapidly, carrying the mantis, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the distance.

Nalan Wushuang emerged from the jungle and sped towards the thick black fog, successfully discovering a ghostly lingzhi mushroom in the center of the fog.

Nalan Wushuang quickly picked the ghost spirit mushroom and put it into the medicine box. As the ghost spirit mushroom was picked, the surrounding black mist seemed to lose its pull and became rootless duckweed. A mountain breeze blew and it began to slowly dissipate.

Nalan Wushuang dared not linger, not because they couldn't defeat the mantis, but because such a battle was meaningless.

Why resort to brute force when you can outsmart the enemy?
No sooner had Nalan Wushuang left than the praying mantis returned.

Its wisdom was limited, but it knew that if it couldn't catch up, it shouldn't chase after it. It was better to go home and guard the Ghost Lingzhi. However, it immediately saw the dispersing black mist.

Its massive body launched itself forward, landing directly where the Ghost Ganoderma was growing. It peered out and let out an angry roar.

"Boom!"

The forest was instantly devastated. Countless massive trees were snapped in half, and even the cliff behind it was smashed and collapsed. The commotion was immense and could be heard from a great distance.

"Hehe, this guy's gone mad." Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang had already met up. Hearing the loud noise coming from afar, the two smiled at each other. After all, this time their cooperation had been too easy.

The two continued onward, and after some effort, they found another flower, still guarded by a giant beast—a giant python.

Lin Chen lured the enemy away while Nalan Wushuang picked the fruit; the two worked together seamlessly and easily won the battle.

After they met, Nalan Wushuang tossed a box of spiritual herbs to Lin Chen for inspection: "The first one is about 1,200 years old, and this one is about 1,000 years old. Their values ​​are about the same. One for each of you, but I have to wait until we get out before I can give them to you. After we get out, we need to calculate the gains. The person ranked first will receive the reward..."

"Okay, no rush."

Although Lin Chen urgently needs all kinds of rare and precious materials that can enhance his strength, what he wants most right now is Bodhi Blood.

Reviving Xuanji is the top priority!

The vast difference between humans and immortals means that only immortals can fight against each other!

The only way to deal with Wei Jiao's next attack is to revive Xuan Ji.

Lin Chen asked, "I see that the other sects each have ten or twenty people. It won't be easy to beat them..."

Nalan Wushuang replied, "It would be great to win first place, but it doesn't matter if we don't win. As long as we collect enough Ghost Spirit Mushrooms, we can exchange them with the winner later, and that should be fine."

"Okay, let's continue."

The two continued towards the central area, and as darkness fell, they encountered the black fog once more.

This time, the black fog was thicker and covered a wider area than the previous two times!
The two flew over and landed on a mountain peak.

The source of the black fog was a giant cave at the foot of the cliff. The black fog drifted out of the cave, condensed and did not disperse, forming a column of black smoke in the sky.

"Such a huge cave must be inhabited by a giant beast..."

"Who cares? I'll distract them, you go in and pick the fruit!"

Lin Chen was fearless, relying on his speed. However, before he could even set off, Nalan Wushuang grabbed his arm.

"There's someone on the other side!"
