The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2436 The Unique Advantages of Earth Escape

Lin Chen had encountered fire crocodiles, and more than one.

These fire crocodiles weren't particularly large, but they had thick skin and were incredibly powerful. Even if Lin Chen were a Great Luo Immortal, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single bite.

These are powerful monsters born from extremely harsh environments. They love hot places, such as lava pools, and will actively attack intruders who enter their territory.

When Lin Chen first encountered the Fire Crocodile, he casually unleashed a slash. However, this strike, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split seas, only left a slight white mark on the Fire Crocodile.

Unconvinced, Lin Chen unleashed the Human Emperor Seal and hurled it at the fire crocodile. After about ten thuds, the fire crocodile wasn't killed; instead, the commotion attracted even more fire crocodiles.

These fire crocodiles emerged from the ground, leaped into the air, and swarmed towards Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately used Earth Escape to enter the ground. Then, Lin Chen was surprised to find that the fire crocodiles looked blank, as if they did not understand why he had suddenly disappeared.

Surprised, Lin Chen experimented many times and finally determined that when he used Earth Escape to enter the earth and merge with it, the Fire Crocodile would lose its sense of him.

These guys are ruthless and powerful, but their perception is not as strong as their strength. Of course, this is also largely due to the wonder of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through earth).

When a cultivator uses earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in cultivation to escape into the ground), their entire being transforms into the earth, becoming a part of it. Under such circumstances, unless the opponent possesses extremely terrifying sensory abilities, they will be unable to detect Lin Chen's location.

Faced with everyone's questions, Lin Chen was also quite puzzled.

With so many people here, are there not a few cultivators who have mastered the Way of Earth and can use Earth Escape Technique?

Or perhaps such people exist, but they have concealed this trustworthy information?
Lin Chen's mind raced, but he calmly replied, "I run fast, they can't catch me. If I walk them around a few more times, they'll get too lazy to chase me."

The people around them marveled.

"Running fast? That works?"

"The logic is sound, because some people have done just that: they scare all the fire crocodiles out, then let them all escape, allowing their companions to quickly collect the crystals..."

"But he's a person, isn't he?"

"What's wrong with being alone? As long as you're fast enough, you can take these fire crocodiles far away and then quickly return. There's a time difference in between. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times, and you'll be able to do it."

“There are many ways to deal with one person. As long as he runs fast enough and is not afraid of being surrounded, he can do whatever he wants. For example, he can set up a formation first, lure the fire crocodiles into the formation, and use the formation to prevent them from returning. By the time they break through the formation and go back, the crystals will have already been mined out.”

"This young fellow Daoist is very lucky."

Lin Chen ignored everyone and turned back to his residence. He planned to study the Phoenix Fire Crystal.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, took out a Phoenix Fire Crystal, held it in both hands, and began to absorb the essence of fire within it by circulating the Sun True Scripture.

The intense firelight instantly illuminated the entire cave.

Such pure fire essence.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Cultivating with the Phoenix Fire Crystal was incredibly fast!
Regardless of whether he can leave this place or not, this is a great opportunity to collect a large number of Phoenix Fire Crystals. Even if he doesn't have enough time to cultivate now, he will have plenty of time after he leaves this place.

Even though this is the red-clad woman's territory, with a plan to catch her off guard, the chances of successfully escaping by summoning the Grandmaster Taixu should still be quite high. However, the fact that the Linglong Pagoda is still in the woman's hands is a huge problem.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering this carefully, he suddenly realized something and turned around abruptly.

As expected, the woman in red appeared silently from the void like a ghost and sat leisurely on the stone bench.

Lin Chen was no longer as terrified as he had been the first time, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You always barge in like this, aren't you afraid of catching me naked?"
"I heard you found six clusters of phoenix fire?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

The woman in red smiled and said, "You're in luck. I see you're absorbing the Phoenix Fire Crystal. You've mastered the Dao of Fire?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "My innate supernatural power is the Five Elements Great Escape."

The woman in red looked surprised: "The Five Elements?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I cultivate fire-attribute techniques, which allows me to absorb the fire essence within the Phoenix Fire Crystal and enhance my cultivation."

The woman in red asked with great interest, "What kind of cultivation method do you practice?"

Lin Chen replied, "The True Scripture of the Sun."

The woman in red said in surprise, "The True Scripture of the Sun is the supreme scripture of the Sun God Palace. Only core disciples of the sect are allowed to cultivate it. How do you know the True Scripture of the Sun?"

Lin Chen replied, "There was a thief who stole this technique and fled to a mid-level immortal realm. He faked his death to escape, but he was seriously injured. He set a trap to attract many adventurers, wanting to absorb their life essence. However, I thwarted it and killed him. The Sun True Scripture then fell into my hands."

The woman in red chuckled softly, "You're quite lucky, but you'd better not get caught by the people from the Sun God Palace, otherwise they'll definitely cause you trouble..."
