The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 492 How come you have so many by yourself?
After experiencing a strange sensation similar to weightlessness once again, Lin Chen returned to the ancient tomb and then climbed the stone steps one by one.

When the sunlight fell on Lin Chen's face, Lin Chen subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains...

The familiar sights he usually took for granted suddenly felt strangely familiar, even giving Lin Chen a sense of being in another world. In reality, however, he hadn't been underground for very long.

The Han family team was actually the first to return.

All the family members and officials waiting outside were extremely surprised. Han Ligao, the Grandmaster of the Han family, stepped out of the tent, frowning: "Wasn't it supposed to be a ten-day exploration? Why are you back already? Is the exploration over?"

Han Xuehai gritted his teeth and said, "There are bat-like monsters in the underground city. Each one is thirty or forty centimeters long. They swarm everywhere. A five-person exploration team was wiped out in the blink of an eye. Their flesh and blood were eaten, leaving only skeletons. We didn't dare to stay any longer, so we came back quickly."

Everyone was shocked.

Han Xuecheng stared in disbelief: "There are living things in the underground city?"

Han Xuehai took out his phone: "I even took pictures..."

In the photo, burning houses merge into a sea of ​​fire, and under the firelight, the ground is covered with countless corpses of ghost-faced bats, which looks extremely creepy. There are also bloody skeletons in the middle, which are full of a terrifying atmosphere.

Han Xuehai flipped through the photos one by one, while everyone around him was completely stunned.

"Han Xuehai, all you've photographed are dead objects. Have you ever seen a living one?"

Han Xuehai hesitated. He wanted to say that Lin Chen had met him, but he didn't dare to.

Lin Chen said, "I've seen him before."

Han Xuecheng was taken aback: "Weren't you guys together?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "To increase efficiency, we split up the search. I went to Beishan..."

Lin Chen openly recounted what he had seen at the Beishan Ancient Temple, since it was impossible to keep such a story a secret.

"Cangshan Cave? The gateway to the unknown land?"

All the onlookers, even the four members of the Han family, stared wide-eyed in shock.

Ignoring them, Lin Chen continued to recount how, after everyone left, he "far away" saw a towering flame and a vast, dark mass of monsters beneath it. He then fled far away and ran back home at breakneck speed.

Lin Chen didn't mention the man in blue taking the door key; his account had to match what he saw from afar. He'd let the survivors fill in the gaps themselves. All the sects were terrified.

Five Grandmasters are a significant force for each sect, but now these Grandmasters are being lost one after another in the dungeon without gaining anything. Isn't this a huge loss?

Someone asked, "What did you all gain?"

Lin Chen remained silent. Han Xuehai hesitated for a moment before saying, "We found some medicinal herbs that were old enough, but nothing else."

Han Xuehai and his group also had a Five Spirit Pill, which they had found in a wealthy family in the village. However, this was a sensitive matter, so he simply didn't mention it.

Fearing people wouldn't believe him, Han Xuehai explained, "The wealthy families inside had all their belongings packed away, completely clean. They must have evacuated in an organized and prepared manner, leaving nothing of value behind. The ordinary families, on the other hand, seemed a bit flustered, but they didn't have anything of value either..."

Han Ligao, a Grandmaster of the Han family, led them back to the Han family's tent and asked again, "Really, you didn't find anything?"

Han Xuehai replied, "There is one more Five Spirit Pill."

After explaining, Han Ligao's face showed a hint of joy. After all, it was good to have one more Grandmaster, especially since the other sects' five Grandmasters had suffered heavy losses or even been wiped out. It was good that they could return unscathed and even gain something.

Han Li glanced at Lin Chen and asked, "Lin Chen, what about you? Weren't you searching separately? What did you find?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Five Five Spirit Pills, one Great Tonic Pill, and one bottle of Heart-Clearing Pill."

"what?"

Han Ligao's eyes widened: "How come you have so many people all by yourself?"

Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

Han Xuehai and the others were extremely embarrassed, wishing they could dig a hole and disappear. They quickly explained in a low voice, "All the medicinal herbs we have were given to us by Lin Chen. He was just lucky and got more..."

Han Ligao turned to look at Han Xuehai and the others, only to find that they all looked embarrassed and their eyes were darting around, but none of them dared to look at Lin Chen. He immediately knew that something was amiss.

"I see. Alright, you've all worked hard, go and rest for a bit."

Han Xuecheng stood to the side, looking at the expressions of Han Xuehai and the others, then at Lin Chen who had a calm expression, and frowned: "Mr. Lin, come with me."

The two left the Han family tent and walked to a secluded spot. Han Xuecheng stared into Lin Chen's eyes and asked, "Did they do something to you?"
