The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 480 The Truth Behind the Demise?
Su Erhe's vest was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Someone had already reached behind him without his knowledge. What's even more terrifying is that in his panic, he had unwittingly exposed his back to the other person.

He turned around in alarm and saw, in the last glimpse of the flashlight, a dark shadow flash by like a ghost, instantly leaping over a nearby wall.

Hu Shan and the others followed closely with their flashlights, but they could only illuminate the wall.

The perpetrator has completely disappeared.

Hu Shan and the others quickly stepped forward, leaped up, and stood on the wall, but the attacker was nowhere to be seen.

"No need to chase!"

Su Erhe spoke up, stopping Hu Shan and the others who were about to give chase, and said loudly, "Thank you for showing mercy!"

If Su Erhe's reaction to Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan's previous attack was shock and anger, then Su Erhe's feeling now is lingering fear!
If the other party had been ruthless towards Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan, they would have been seriously injured if not killed. The other party had already walked behind him, and his back was completely exposed to the other party. If the other party had just casually struck him, he could have taken at least half of his life. However, the other party did not do so.

The attackers didn't go all out against Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan, nor did they take advantage of their own mistakes to strike them; they simply carried away their backpacks without a second thought.

If the attackers had used their full force just now, the entire Eight Spirits Sect squad would probably have been wiped out.

This is a favor that I have no choice but to accept.

There was no response from the darkness.

Su Erhe wasn't surprised. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's continue the search in another place."

After walking for a while, Hu Shan and the others finally realized what was happening.

We just narrowly escaped a team wipe!

Hu Shan sighed, "That guy was incredibly bold. He sneaked into the group without a sound. I think he must have appeared from the side or rear while we were looking at that big house. I assumed he was someone from our team and didn't think much of it. I was careless!"

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "Who could that person be? We just fought with the Han family and then we were attacked. Could that person be a member of the Han family?"

Su Erhe sighed, "Han Xuehai and Han Xuegong of the Han family were both injured by us. Han Shude and Han Xuemei are not as strong as Han Xuehai. As for Lin Chen, who somehow ended up in the Han family's team, wasn't he only promoted to Grandmaster a month or two ago? Although he defeated Zhu Zian from Linhai, his strength is not enough to make us look like nothing..."

Hu Shan, recalling his previous experience of being sent flying by a single punch, was still somewhat shaken: "This person is indeed very strong, especially in terms of stealth ability. He is also very bold. In this completely dark environment, he is an extremely terrifying opponent."

Su Erhe said with a wry smile, "Although we lost some things, they have already shown us mercy, so we can consider it a stroke of good luck in this unfortunate situation."

After a pause, Su Erhe sighed, "I'll have to see what kind of hero this is later."

Lin Chen closed the door and made sure the room was completely sealed off before turning on the flashlight in diffused light mode, instantly illuminating the room.

Lin Chen shook all the contents of his three backpacks onto the floor, piling them up in a heap!
Lin Chen smiled; he had made quite a haul.

Lin Chen carefully sorted through everything; it was mostly medicinal herbs and pills. Clearly, these spoils were looted from the pharmacy he had just visited.

Although the medicinal herbs were good, they still needed further processing, so Lin Chen didn't have much use for them for the time being. Therefore, Lin Chen focused his attention on the pills.

Five Five Spirit Pills, one Great Tonic Pill, and one bottle of Heart-Clearing Pill.

An old book.

Lin Chen casually flipped through it and found that it was a book introducing various pills. It did not contain specific methods for refining pills, but it did provide detailed descriptions of the effects of different pills. It belonged to the category of popular science books on pills!

The Five Spirit Pill is made primarily from five medicinal herbs imbued with spiritual energy. It can help cultivators improve their strength, with significant effects on Grandmasters and those below. It can also be used for Grandmasters to advance to the Grandmaster level.

This tonic is suitable for patients with poor health and has remarkable effects.

The Mind-Clearing Pill is a cultivation aid that can calm the mind during cultivation and reduce the probability of getting sideways or going into qi deviation.

Reiki?

Although the book of alchemy did not explain the meaning of spiritual energy, Lin Chen roughly understood its meaning from the descriptions of these medicines. It should be a special energy contained between heaven and earth, which is the foundation of cultivation.

Cultivation is the process of absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to transform the body and retain this energy within the body to strengthen oneself. Internal energy, qi, and so on are all manifestations of spiritual energy at different stages.

The Unknown Land is rich in spiritual energy, which may be the fundamental reason why cultivators in the Unknown Land are stronger and have longer lifespans.

As for the human world, spiritual energy is scarce, making cultivation more difficult and lifespans shorter.

Lin Chen was slightly lost in thought.

This dead Unknown Land is now no different from the outside world. Does this mean that the destruction of the Unknown Land is related to the dissipation of spiritual energy?
