The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2778 Deep Malice

Lin Chen's Nebula Sword instantly erupted with boundless sword intent, unleashing powerful sword energies that collided with the Crystal Scorpion's large pincers.

The terrifying sword energy struck the large pincers, but instead of breaking through them, it shattered completely.

The giant pincers continued to swing and snip at Lin Chen. Even though Lin Chen had been hiding his strength, he couldn't help but marvel at how monstrous these magical beasts were!
For a demonic beast to reach the level of the Great Luo realm is not easy, but a demonic beast transformed from demonic energy can easily reach the strength of the Great Luo realm.

Although individual Starry Sky Beasts are not as strong as Quasi-Saints, their ability to transform into other beasts and change the world is extremely powerful.

A single Starry Sky Beast is enough to change a world!
Lin Chen raised the Nebula Sword and held it in front of him. The large pincers struck the Nebula Sword, and Lin Chen was sent flying like a meteorite, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Although Lin Chen had concealed his strength, his sword bones were indestructible, so he was naturally unharmed. Seeing that the crystal scorpion was about to escape again, Lin Chen, as if risking his life, soared into the sky again and blocked the crystal scorpion's path.

A stream of water, as if alive, swept over and entangled the crystal scorpion. At the same time, Zuo Dongxu's concerned voice rang out: "Lin Xi, are you alright?"

Lin Chen coughed lightly, rubbed his chest, and replied, "It's nothing."

Zuo Dongxu laughed and said, "Be careful."

Below, Gumado was like a humanoid beast, as if he himself were the weapon. He flashed close to the Crystal Scorpion and then punched the Crystal Scorpion's hard head shell.

The crystal scorpion's hard shell, which could withstand magical artifacts, shattered instantly. The immense destructive force traveled through the broken shell straight to its brain, causing its entire head to explode.

Instant kill!

Gumado cleanly and efficiently killed the crystal scorpions with one punch each. Soon, he had wiped out the crystal scorpions around him, soared into the sky, and directly blasted to death those crystal scorpions that were already half-dead from being enveloped in the water.

That's fierce!

Through this battle, Lin Chen gained a general understanding of Zuo Dongxu and Gumado's strength. At most, they were at the Carp Dragon Realm, or perhaps even the Lower Grade Great Luo Immortals.

All the crystal scorpions were killed, their stingers were pulled out one by one, and collected into a pile.

Lin Chen volunteered to take on the tasks of removing the thorns and tidying up, since he was weak and naturally had to do more errands.

There are eighteen in total.

Lin Chen finished tidying up all the tail spikes, stood up, and looked delighted.

This joy was genuine; they had only been here a short time and had already found a nest of eighteen, which meant 180 points!
If you find ten or twenty nests, you'll get two or three thousand points, right?
As for how many points I will ultimately receive, I will only know when I get them.

Zuo Dongxu handed the nine tail spikes to Gumado and smiled at Lin Chen, saying, "I'll keep them for now, and we'll divide them at the end of the day. We can't divide them now... Is that alright?" Lin Chen smiled and said, "No problem."

Zuo Dongxu retracted his tail spike and laughed, "This can be considered a good start. Let's continue. After we finish searching this demonic land, we'll probably have a lot of points, and maybe we can collect enough to leave."

Gumado didn't speak, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Nine roots, that's ninety points. How much time has it taken?
If you're doing other tasks and accumulating points one by one, how much time would that take?
"continue!"

The three separated again and continued their search.

There are quite a few crystal scorpions in this desert. The three of them found three nests in one day, one of which was discovered by Lin Chen.

The crystal scorpion suddenly emerged from the sand, but Lin Chen remained completely calm.

These crystal scorpions were nothing more than objects he could easily crush. His demonic energy concealed his true nature, allowing him to easily deal with their attacks. He then pretended to be on the verge of death, which attracted Zuo Dongxu and Gumado.

Zuo Dongxu repeatedly warned Lin Chen to be careful, his words sincere, but Lin Chen always felt that there was a deep malice hidden in this concern.

His words didn't sound like caring advice; they sounded more like an expectation for someone to die quickly.

By the end of the day, the three of them had obtained a total of forty-five tail stings, which was quite a haul.

Zuo Dongxu handed the nine tail spikes to Lin Chen and said with a smile, "Take a good rest today, and keep up the good work tomorrow."

Lin Chen retracted his tail spikes and politely thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Zuo!"

The three set up camp and rested, and nothing happened that night.

The next day, the three continued their search, and during the process, they also encountered other adventurers hunting crystal scorpions.

"There are quite a few people searching, so we need to speed things up as much as possible, otherwise the Crystal Scorpions will all fall into someone else's hands!"

Zuo Dongxu suggested, "I've checked the terrain before. There's a deep abyss ahead, I don't know how deep it is. I think there might be a lot of crystal scorpions down there. Should we go and investigate?"

Gumado succinctly stated: "Let's go!"
