The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 484 The Hunter in the Dark

you?
If you slap me, my head might fly off!
Han Xuemei dared not let Lin Chen lay a hand on her, so she gritted her teeth and increased the force in her hand.

Han Xuemei really used her strength this time, and her face quickly swelled up, with blood spilling from her mouth.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

After a few slaps, Han Xuemei looked incredibly miserable, with messy gray hair and splattered blood, a shocking scene.

Lin Chen just watched coldly.

Han Xuemei dared not stop until Lin Chen spoke. Just when she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, she finally heard Lin Chen's voice.

"okay."

Han Xuemei perked up, raised her head, and looked at Lin Chen with hopeful eyes.

Lin Chen's gaze swept over Han Xuehai and the others, who all lowered their eyes in shame and fear, not daring to meet Lin Chen's eyes.

Lin Chen walked to the center of the room, picked up his backpack, and said calmly, "I'm giving you those medicinal herbs. I'll spare your lives for Mr. Han's sake, but you'd better not run into me again."

Although Lin Chen saved Han Xuecheng's life, and Han Xuecheng reciprocated, so Lin Chen didn't owe Han Xuecheng a favor, it was ultimately Han Xuecheng who recommended him to join despite the pressure from his family. If Lin Chen were to kill all of Han's family members, even if he wasn't in the wrong, it would still be somewhat awkward.

There is no distinction between day and night in the underground city. Lin Chen walked along the street for several hundred meters without finding anything. At a crossroads, Lin Chen stopped to determine the direction to go next.

Having been in the city for so long and encountered so many groups, Lin Chen had only encountered one group from the Eight Spirits Sect, which showed that the city was not small.

"what!"

A piercing scream suddenly tore through the night sky and carried far away.

Lin Chen suddenly leaped up and stood on the roof of a building by the street. Looking into the distance, he saw faint lights flickering about two kilometers ahead.

"Help...ah!"

The pitiful screams continued, and it seemed that the screams were not coming from a single person.

Without further hesitation, Lin Chen rushed onto the road ahead, heading straight for the source of the screams.

When Lin Chen had run more than halfway, his pitiful screams came to an abrupt end.

It looks like it's too late.

Lin Chen wasn't there to rescue anyone; he was there to watch the spectacle and see if there was an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

Where there is fighting, there must be a conflict of interest. In other words, the purpose of a battle is to seize something good; otherwise, why would anyone start killing someone for no reason?
There were still lights ahead, dazzlingly bright in the darkness. Lin Chen slowed down, crept forward, and rounded a corner. He cautiously peeked out, looking at the light illuminating the area not far away.

At just one glance, Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Blood!

Blood was everywhere!

Several powerful flashlights lay scattered on the ground. Under their beams, blood was everywhere, and the stench of blood was thick. The source of the blood was none other than several skeletons that had been reduced to bloody remains.

Lin Chen counted them, and his heart sank.

Five objects!

This is the number of a sect's squad!

In that brief moment, something attacked the sect's small team, killing them all and devouring their flesh in a very short time.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the backpacks scattered on the ground. There were clearly things inside the backpacks, but they were just left there, untouched.

Lin Chen's gaze turned serious. Clearly, the team that attacked this squad was not from another sect, otherwise they wouldn't have left these backpacks behind.

The attacker was most likely not human.

Unknown hunters lurk in the darkness within this underground city, preying on intruders like themselves.

The attack had only just occurred. Was the attacker still lurking in the darkness, silently watching him, looking for an opportunity to hunt him down?
The feeling of being watched resurfaced, and it was incredibly intense, as if I were in a square surrounded by a crowd of people, and suddenly all of them turned around and stared at me menacingly.

The hairs on Lin Chen's vest stood up instantly. He shone his flashlight in front and behind him, then jumped over the adjacent courtyard wall and rushed into the house inside.

Lin Chen picked up the oil lamp from the house, walked directly to the woodshed, smashed the lamp in the pile of firewood, and then lit it.

Flames instantly erupted, and Lin Chen picked up a pile of burning straw and set it ablaze on everything in the house that could be ignited.

Everything was very dry and flammable. Soon, the flames engulfed the house and began to spread to the roof.

The whole house caught fire.

"boom!"

Lin Chen suddenly crashed through the wall from a corner of the house and rushed out of the house.

Lin Chen landed, and his body suddenly stiffened at the spot where his gaze fell.

Hideous monsters resembling giant bats hovered on the ground and rooftops in the distance, layer upon layer, densely packed, their pairs of eyes, filled with an aura of death, fixedly staring at Lin Chen…
