The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2987 How come this person can't see through it?
The soldiers of the First Army Corps retreated in an orderly manner and soon returned to the area covered by the defensive line.

Chen Shuihe immediately began to take stock of the casualties of the three squads, and the subordinates in charge quickly summarized the situation and reported it to him.

"Sect Master, I have finished counting. There are a total of 27 dead, 35 seriously wounded, and 267 lightly wounded..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Let's handle it according to the rules."

The dead were collected, the seriously wounded were sent to the rear, and the lightly wounded were treated by doctors, given medicine to recover, and prepared to continue fighting.

In the battle just now, Lin Chen fought against a series of opponents in succession. Although he was able to kill his opponents quickly by taking them by surprise, his spiritual energy was also greatly depleted.

Lin Chen took a pill to replenish his spiritual energy and quietly recovered.

On the battlefield, battles can happen at any time, and keeping yourself in peak condition at all times is essential for survival.

Chen Shuihe and the others also took medicine to recover. Xiong Yaxiong encountered a powerful demon and was injured in the fight. Fortunately, the overall situation was in favor of the First Legion, so Xiong Yaxiong was not completely defeated.

Overall, the casualty rate of the three teams was not high, with a mortality rate of less than three percent. However, this was largely thanks to Lin Chen blocking the quasi-saint who charged into the camp. Otherwise, if he had rushed into the three teams, a large number of them would have died in the blink of an eye.

Most of the other attacked teams were not so lucky. Apart from two quasi-saints who were intercepted by Legion Commander Jiang Yunfeng, the others charged into the ranks, causing heavy casualties.

Lin Chen remained unmoved by the situation.

In the midst of a great battle, the commander's heart was as hard as iron. All the soldiers were his pawns. He considered the overall situation of the battle, and with each of his decisions, countless soldiers would bleed or even sacrifice themselves.

The saying "A kind heart cannot command an army" illustrates this principle.

Lin Chen was just a squad leader. He was content as long as he could complete his mission and take care of his soldiers. Other things were not within his consideration.

Over the course of half a day, Lin Chen consumed several high-grade pills to replenish his depleted spiritual energy.

Pills are the cornerstone of such a war of attrition. Every battle consumes a huge amount of precious pills, so the war is actually a war of attrition.

Whoever is stronger, recovers faster, and fights longer will be the victor on the battlefield.

Lin Chen's mind sank into his sea of ​​consciousness, landing on the Gluttonous Blood Tree.

In this battle, the Gluttonous Blood Tree devoured everything, including demon lords comparable to Great Luo Immortals.

The seeds of the Gluttonous Blood Tree have clearly changed, with many more blood streaks appearing on them, and a ferocious and bloody aura lingering around them.

This aura may seem faint, but it points directly to the source. If it were to be revealed in the outside world, it would be enough to make cultivators tremble with fear and lose their composure, and enough to make demonic beasts prostrate on the ground, wailing and waiting to be slaughtered.

That's a huge improvement!
Lin Chen was overjoyed. Don't underestimate this Gluttonous Blood Tree. Once it grows into its complete form, it will be a super weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield!
If it were to fight against a peak Grand Luo Immortal, it might not be able to play a significant role, since the opponent would be very strong, and it wouldn't be easy for it to directly devour the opponent. However, on the battlefield, the opponents could not all be peak Grand Luo Immortals, right?
It is so vast and boundless that it cannot be touched. It will transform into a demon, easily slaying enemies within its range. Moreover, it can devour the bodies of its enemies, absorb their essence and blood, and instantly transform it into a powerful fighting force!
As long as there are enough enemies on the battlefield and none can destroy it, it will keep fighting and never stop, and it won't even need Lin Chen to provide it with spiritual power!
As long as there is enough "nourishment", it can fight independently. After careful observation, Lin Chen happily withdrew from his sea of ​​consciousness. With a few more battles like this, it might be able to reach the peak of the Great Luo Immortal realm, or even crush the peak Great Luo Immortal realm. He would then have a powerful helper.

Even if my cultivation level is a little lower and I might not be able to crush a peak Great Luo Immortal, with the addition of the Taotie Blood Tree, that should be enough, right?
As Lin Chen walked out of the camp, he saw Kong Wenlong and a group of team leaders chatting together.

Kong Wenlong's gaze shifted slightly when he saw Lin Chen.

As the battalion commander, he naturally participated in the battle, but he did not lead the charge. This was not because he was afraid of death, but because as the battalion commander, his responsibility lay more in command and coordination, ensuring that the entire Ninth Battalion moved in unison.

Therefore, when that quasi-saint rushed towards the third team, Kong Wenlong had a rather complicated feeling.

The moment he saw the Quasi-Saint charge, he hoped that the Quasi-Saint would take care of Lin Chen, but in the blink of an eye, he felt more worried and anxious.

If the Quasi-Saint had killed through three teams, the other teams would inevitably have been wiped out as well. Therefore, after a moment's thought, he hoped that Lin Chen could release the great demon horde to join forces and block the Quasi-Saint's attack.

Lin Chen did not release the great demon, but suddenly summoned two women.

A woman stood guard beside Lin Chen. Together with a tower, they managed to intercept the charging demon quasi-saint!
They stopped them!
Kong Wenlong was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted that the Quasi-Saint had been intercepted, meaning that the Third Team would not be overwhelmed and would not suffer huge losses to his Ninth Team. He was surprised by Lin Chen's methods.

Lin Chen had never mentioned these two women before, but now that they had made their move, even a Quasi-Saint had to stop in his tracks.

What are their strengths?
Could they be quasi-saints as well?
They actually stayed by Lin Chen's side, inside a magical artifact, and would appear to protect Lin Chen if he encountered any danger!

Kong Wenlong's first reaction was fear. Just how many trump cards did Lin Chen have up his sleeve?
Was he really from a small, unknown place?

How come this person can't see through it at all?

Putting everything else aside, just consider that woman's use of the Fire Dragon Divine Power to block countless incredibly powerful flying swords—could I possibly withstand that?

I'm afraid I'll be burned to ashes by the fire dragon.

Kong Wenlong suddenly felt grateful to Zhou Daocang. If it weren't for Zhou Daocang's courage to take action first and prove with his own life that Lin Chen was not to be trifled with, would he have had to face such a terrifying existence after repeatedly targeting Lin Chen and eventually angering him?

Kong Wenlong never thought that his position as captain would make Lin Chen wary. Don't let his well-behaved appearance fool you, this kid is incredibly audacious!
All his actions were simply because he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, for the third squad, or for others!

A thought flashed through Kong Wenlong's mind, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Lin Chen, you're here. Are you alright?"

Lin Chen replied, "Thank you for your concern, Captain. It was just that my spiritual energy was quite depleted, but I have recovered now and am ready to fight again at any time."

Kong Wenlong subconsciously recalled Lin Chen summoning the Gluttonous Blood Tree and instantly killing several Demon Lords, but he smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. You killed quite a few Demon Lord-level enemies today, which is a great achievement..."
