Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Lure the Snake out of the Cave

Although the group was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Chen’s arrangements, they could only comply due to Xu Lianyu’s intimidation.

Under Lin Chen’s leadership, the party once again ventured into the depths of Dragon Pond.

Leng Dong and the others had already decided in their hearts that they wouldn’t exert themselves too much; as soon as Lin Chen used the Formation to trap the Big Snake, they would take the lead in picking the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, ensuring that Lin Chen wouldn’t get the chance to harvest the Spiritual Medicine.

Whoosh whoosh——

More than thirty Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer Martial Artists, along with Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu, arrived at the depths of Dragon Pond. At that moment, the Big Snake was coiled around the Dragon Whisker Polygonum. Seeing Lin Chen and the others invade its territory again, it flew into a rage.

Roar——

A roaring sound echoed throughout Dragon Pond as the Big Snake twisted its tail and violently charged towards the group.

"You bunch of ants, all of you die!"

A rough voice came from the Big Snake’s mouth as its tail smashed down towards several disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Seeing this, everyone’s faces blanched—they had already witnessed the Big Snake’s terror and strength.

With this sweep of its tail, there would certainly be another round of casualties.

"What are you waiting for, use the Talisman Inscriptions to escape. Want to die?"

Lin Chen and Leng Dong had already turned to flee, trying to lure the Big Snake to the place where the Spiritual Formation was set up. However, seeing that those few disciples had been frightened into immobility, Lin Chen immediately scolded and reminded them.

Hearing this, the disciples quickly took out the Space-compression Talismans that Lin Chen had given them, slapped them on themselves, and their figures instantly disappeared from the spot, narrowly avoiding the Big Snake’s attack and escaping harm.

Witnessing this scene, the Big Snake, with its considerable Spiritual Wisdom, immediately realized that the humans had used Talismans to escape. It roared furiously, instantly locked onto the group’s scent, and charged towards Lin Chen and the others even faster.

Because Lin Chen had just warned the others, he was half a beat slower than Leng Dong and the rest. After several disciples consecutively used their Talismans to escape, Lin Chen ended up as the last person in the team.

"Cunning humans, die!"

The Big Snake was incredibly fast and had already reached Lin Chen’s back, swinging its evolved snake claws to strike at Lin Chen with a crushing blow.

Under such an attack, no Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer Martial Artist would dare say they could withstand it, let alone Lin Chen from the Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer.

"Junior Brother, use the Talisman to escape quickly!"

Xu Lianyu, seeing that Lin Chen was about to be hit by the Big Snake, urgently reminded him.

However, Lin Chen seemed not to hear and didn’t rush to take out a Talisman to use it.

Li Caixia and Xu Lianyu’s faces suddenly showed concern.

Leng Dong and Shang Wenle, on the other hand, were secretly pleased and hoped that Lin Chen would die under the Big Snake’s claws; that would suit their purposes well, as they wouldn’t have to worry about Lin Chen seeking revenge after returning to the Sect.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s face was grave, and he mobilized all his Spiritual Power to meet the Big Snake’s claw with a thrust of his palm.

The reason Lin Chen had not used the Talisman to escape was because he had his own plans; he did not want the chance to harvest the Dragon Whisker Polygonum to go to someone else.

Moreover, Lin Chen had some confidence in his own physique; he believed that the Big Snake wouldn’t be able to kill him with a single punch.

Boom——

Lin Chen collided with the Big Snake, feeling numbness in his arm and some injury.

However, it also bought Lin Chen time to continue escaping, and in the blink of an eye, he was retreating again.

Roar——

Seeing that this insignificant human had actually withstood its attack, the fury within the Big Snake intensified. It locked onto Lin Chen and charged forward.

However, it hadn’t been long since it caught up when a faint smile emerged on Lin Chen’s lips.

He had finally lured it to the place where he had set up the formation, in fact, Lin Chen had been cautious from the beginning. Although he had set the formation slightly behind his current position, once activated, the location was actually closer to the depths of Dragon Pond.

The reason he let the snake-dragon catch up to him was to create the illusion that he had been entangled by the creature.

Leng Dong and the others were still fleeing toward the rear where the Spiritual Formation was set up, thinking they would be safe there waiting for Lin Chen to trap the snake-dragon, before turning back to harvest the Dragon Whisker Polygonum.

But how could Lin Chen simply hand over that credit to them?

Lin Chen then took out a Space-compression Talisman and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, slapped it onto his body and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Weng—

Whirr whirr—

However, the instant Lin Chen disappeared, countless streamers of light appeared around the snake-dragon that had caught up with him, forming a shield that trapped it inside.

"What’s going on, wasn’t the formation Lin Chen set up supposed to be here with us?"

"No, that kid isn’t showing up, could he have already gone back to harvest the Spiritual Medicine?"

"Damn it, we’ve been played by him, this formation trapping the snake-dragon, it’s not here with us at all. No wonder that kid didn’t use the Talisman Inscriptions, he wanted us to mistakenly believe that his last use was for the sake of escape."

"He must have used the Talisman Inscription just now, probably already teleported inside Dragon Pond to harvest the Spiritual Medicine."

The disciples voiced their thoughts, and Leng Dong and the others’ faces suddenly changed, turning furious as their hearts filled with the intent to kill Lin Chen.

"Let’s go have a look, we absolutely can’t let that kid hog all the credit by himself."

Leng Dong said persistently, being the first to rush forward.

At this moment, as the snake-dragon was trapped by Lin Chen’s formation, their fear lessened since their desire to snatch the Dragon Whisker Polygonum overcame their inner terror.

That was an opportunity to skyrocket to the heavens and become a True Disciple.

Roar—

However, just as the group had passed the trapped snake-dragon, the shield trapping it happened to be shattered by the creature’s assault. How could Lin Chen’s formation possibly trap a Melding Earth Realm Magical Beast for long?

"Humans, you’re seeking death!"

After breaking through the formation, the snake-dragon instantly sensed that Lin Chen’s presence had appeared next to the Dragon Whisker Polygonum.

With a flick of its tail, several Jade Cauldron Sect disciples who were close to it were directly slapped away, their bodies creating deep pits upon hitting the ground, where they instantly lost their breath.

A fatal strike! Such was the terror of a Melding Earth Realm Magical Beast with King Beast Bloodline.

Everyone was extremely horrified, thinking they were done for. At such a proximity, they didn’t have enough time to use a talisman to escape.

However, after the snake-dragon sent several people flying with its tail, it didn’t strike at those nearby. Instead, it turned back in a frenzy towards the depths of Dragon Pond.

"It must be that Lin Chen is harvesting the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, so it can’t spare the time to deal with us."

With that, Leng Dong and the others quickly followed suit.

Xu Lianyu frowned; she had intended to have the group stop the snake-dragon to buy time for Lin Chen to harvest, but judging by the current situation, these people were clearly after the Dragon Whisker Polygonum only, with no hint of Sect cooperation.

In the face of absolute interests, camaraderie among Sect members was nothing but a joke.

Xu Lianyu, with no other choice, also followed the group into Dragon Pond. There, they indeed saw Lin Chen by the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, preparing to harvest it.
