The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1748 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
Chu Yue frowned and said, "We came here following the smell of fish. What is giving off this smell? Can you tell me?"

The man on the right's expression changed slightly: "No comment, please leave."

Lin Chen observed their expressions and slowly asked, "Are you here to capture this fishy-smelling monster?"

The man on the left said in a deep voice, "Please leave, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Lin Chen and Chu Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

They really seem to have come for this monster that emits a strong fishy smell. It looks like they know that the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros likes fishy food, and they are here to hunt and prepare bait!
Since Lin Chen was able to find this information in the book, it's quite normal for others to be well-prepared and knowledgeable.

"it is good!"

Lin Chen was unwilling to engage in direct conflict. After all, they hadn't even investigated the situation yet, so wouldn't it be a loss to start a fight?

Chu Yue frowned, about to speak, but then saw Lin Chen give him a wink. He immediately stopped talking and followed Lin Chen as they turned and left.

After walking several hundred meters, Chu Yue asked telepathically, "Why should we give way to them? This place doesn't belong to their Five Poisons Hall. They can't just take it over like that."

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "Those two are clearly just sentries. If a conflict breaks out, something stronger will definitely come. There's no need for that. We can just go around them, right?"

Chu Yue glanced at Lin Chen and chuckled, "I thought you were really going to leave."

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "We all came for the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros. No matter what they're doing, since they're being so mysterious, we naturally have to find out. Why would we leave!"

After flying around for about a mile, Lin Chen raised his hand, formed a Death Seal, and cast it on himself and Chu Yue respectively.

The two people vanished instantly, like two lifeless stones in the mist.

The mist was designed to block divine sense, and since the two of them had no aura, who would know where they were?

Chu Yue asked in surprise, "Your methods are a bit mysterious."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just a little trick. I'm not very strong, but I'm good at hiding and running away."

At Lin Chen's prompting, the two of them refrained from using their spiritual power and quietly made their way through the wilderness back to the lake.

Soon, they reached the edge of the lake, where the fishy smell was so strong that it made them want to vomit.

The lake was not calm; ripples spread out in circles, indicating that something large was moving in the lake.

"Is the formation ready?"

"All right!"

"Then force it ashore. Once it enters the formation, the poison we've laid will quickly kill it. We'll use its corpse to lure out the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros. Once it eats this thing, the poison will enter its body, and then we can do whatever we want with it!"

"Then I'll get started!"

"Okay!" A conversation could be heard in the air, but the people could not be seen. Judging from the voices, they were not too far away.

Lin Chen and Chu Yue exchanged a glance but neither moved.

As expected, the other party knew that the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros liked to eat food with a strong fishy smell, so they were planning to poison the bait and directly poison the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros!

The Five Poisons Hall truly lives up to its reputation as masters of poison; they plan to use poison to deal with the water monsters and the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros.

"boom!"

A fierce attack suddenly erupted in the lake, and the intense spiritual energy surge instantly transformed into a spiritual energy storm that swept in all directions.

The rapid movement of the fog actually gave Lin Chen a momentary glimpse of the surroundings.

On the lake's surface, the water rippled violently. A giant monster emerged from the water, its enormous mouth opening like a black hole, from which high-speed water bullets instantly shot out, blasting towards the attacker.

Lin Chen examined the monster in the water, and when he saw it clearly, his expression became somewhat strange.

Does it look like a toad?

"This is the Mystic Water Clam, whose strength is roughly comparable to that of a Golden Immortal. It is most skilled at water bullet attacks. This water is mixed with its secreted saliva, which has a powerful dissolving ability. Moreover, the water bullets it spews out are extremely powerful."

Lin Chen recalled Chu Yue's words and replied, "Let's see how it goes."

Although the Xuan Shui Clam is just a toad, as Chu Yue said, the power of its water bullets is not small.

The aerial attacker was hit by a water bullet as soon as he made his move, but fortunately he was prepared and activated a shield.

The water bullet struck the shield, shattering the spiritual energy barrier above it. It hit the surface of the shield, denting a section in the middle. Then the water bullet disintegrated, turning into a huge pool of liquid that covered the surface of the shield.

The defensive shield, made of some unknown metal, began to melt visibly. In the blink of an eye, all the formations on it collapsed and shattered, turning the defensive shield into a piece of scrap iron.

The attackers were also startled and quickly fled towards the shore.

Enraged by the attack, the Xuan Shui Clam leaped out of the lake with a splash and landed on the shore, chasing after its attacker.

The attackers deliberately led the way, and in the blink of an eye, the Xuan Shui Toad was lured into the previously laid ambush formation.

"Array up!"

With a shout, a bright light suddenly burst forth from the ground, and several golden rays of light transformed into cages, tightly sealing its body and preventing it from escaping for a time.

At the same time, countless pale green rays of light appeared outside the golden light, directly covering the Xuan Shui Toad's body. The Xuan Shui Toad, which had just been bound by the formation, immediately began to struggle violently and let out a miserable scream.
