Chapter 222: Danger, Treasure?
After Lin Chen made up his mind, he took Lin Zi'er and the little squirrel to move forward cautiously, and the aura on his body gradually began to decline, but it did not completely converge, it only took a few breaths to stop, and at this time, the aura emitted by Lin Chen's body had dropped from the realm of the seventh level of the day after tomorrow to the sixth level of the day after tomorrow.
This is one of the simplest and most common methods in the cultivation world to hide one's own cultivation, and it is not particularly subtle, and it only needs to be done by reining in the aura that one's own exoneration exudes.
Therefore, the flaws in it are also obvious, as long as the person whose cultivation is higher than Lin Chen perceives it a little carefully, he can recognize Lin Chen's true cultivation.
It's not that Lin Chen's current strength is not as good as the four early innate cultivators that Little Squirrel said, but the reason why he chose to restrain his aura is naturally because he has his own plans.
If you really want to talk about it, with Lin Chen's current strength, under the full burst of the Acquired Sevenfold Realm, I am afraid that it will be enough to compete with ordinary mid-innate cultivators, and defeating early-stage innate cultivators will naturally be no longer a problem.
And between the middle innate stage and the early innate stage, there is already a big gap, and if you want to use the cultivation of the early innate stage to confront a mid-innate cultivator, unless you are a Heavenly Pill cultivator who has broken through to the innate realm through the accumulation of the Eightfold Realm of the Coming Heaven, or even the Ninefold Realm of the Later Heaven, otherwise, facing the cultivator of the middle stage of the Innate Realm will only have one way to fail.
However, Lin Chen's situation was different, although the liquid true qi in the complete state in his body was only fifty-four drops, it didn't seem to be much, it was only equivalent to a cultivator of about five levels the day after tomorrow.
However, due to the peculiarities in the dantian and acupuncture points in his body, there were still one hundred and eight drops of one-third liquid true qi in his body, and after being folded, it was also comparable to the number of thirty-six drops in the normal state.
Even if it is still not as complete as a drop in terms of quality, it is already extremely close to the quantity that can only be possessed by the Acquired Ninefold in terms of the total number, and at least it is equivalent to the liquid true qi in the body of a cultivator in the Eightfold Realm of the Acquired Heaven.
It is precisely this kind of strange change caused by the effect of the nameless mantra that allows Lin Chen to be comparable to the cultivators of the Acquired Sevenfold Realm when he is in the Acquired Sixfold Realm, and he can even fight to the death with Zhu Shan in the early stage of the Innate Realm.
And now that he has broken through to the Acquired Sevenfold, the attainments of the Wind Step and the Wind Follower are also becoming more and more profound, so not to mention his current strength, in fact, when he broke through to the Acquired Sevenfold Realm, he has far surpassed the cultivators in the early stage of the Innate.
Therefore, even if he is facing four congenital early stage cultivators at the same time, there will not be too much pressure on the current Lin Chen, and the only thing he needs to worry about is Lin Zi'er, who has low strength, but with the existence of the pocket beast in the small squirrel dotting this precious beast, if he just protects Lin Zi'er, there will not be too much of a problem.
Without the need for the little squirrel to lead, Lin Chen already knew where the battle was taking place through some traces left on the sandy ground and the battle fluctuations from afar.
Finally, a hundred meters away from the place of battle, feeling the terrifying fluctuations and fierce confrontations coming from directly in front of him, and feeling that there were four different breaths in it, Lin Chen's corner of his eyes glanced at the little squirrel on Lin Zi'er's shoulder, and nodded secretly.
Judging from the battle fluctuations coming from the front, the battle ahead has entered a blazing stage, in this case, if Lin Chen's two people and one beast still continue to move forward, they will undoubtedly be affected by the aftermath of these people's battles, and even cause the four of them to be suspicious.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to hide his figure, and then took Lin Zi'er to slowly bypass this place with the help of dozens of small mounds more than two meters high that appeared here.
When he was detouring, Lin Chen also noticed the three mounds two hundred meters away in front of him, and when he saw these three mounds, Lin Chen couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at the little squirrel, but he didn't expect to be directly ignored by it.
The reason for this is that although these three mounds are made of the sand of the white desert, their height is different from the small mound beside him, each of which is a hundred meters high, and such a height may be more appropriate to call it a hill.
This discovery was completely unexpected by Lin Chen, but there was not much difficulty, it just took more time.
However, as she gradually approached the three mounds, the little squirrel standing on Lin Zi'er's shoulder became a little restless, jumping up and down from time to time, not knowing what she was aware of or what she was afraid of.
"Dot, be quiet, otherwise they will find out", Lin Zi'er's face froze slightly, and she grabbed the little squirrel a little angrily.
However, at this time, the little squirrel became more restless, and a low squeak sounded from time to time in his mouth, and a small pair of paws kept pointing at the three mounds in front of him, as if warning Lin Chen.
"Diandian, you mean there is a danger here, don't go up?", Lin Chen asked with a frown.
Then they went to the foot of the hill, crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand from the mound, and found nothing special, just like the one under their feet.
The only difference, if anything, is that the sand is mixed with this white powder, so that the three mounds look much whiter than their ground.
But he knew that the little squirrel's instinctive sense of rare beasts was very powerful, especially for some dangers that could threaten his own life.
Judging from its current performance, the inexplicable danger contained in these three mounds is probably extremely great, which makes it so anxious and uneasy.
After continuing to observe for a while, Lin Chen frowned and found another thing, that is, the sand on the mound in front of him was very loose, and it couldn't bear the weight of a person at all, even if the little squirrels didn't notice any danger, it would be difficult for them to pass here, and the only option was to bypass them.
"Hu Yong, why don't you stop quickly, are you going to ignore the old relationship between the four of us for many years just for the storage bag on the body of a mid-innate mid-stage cultivator in front of you?"
"Hmph, do you think it's because of this thing that I won't hesitate to fight with you? Don't say that you yourself are very high, the light emitted by such a treasure is so obvious, I don't believe that you haven't seen it, and I don't believe that you don't have such a plan in your heart."
And just when Lin Chen wanted to take Lin Zi'er and the little squirrel to leave from here and go around again, he heard two angry shouts coming from the place of battle.
At first, Lin Chen didn't care, he didn't have much interest in the storage bag they were talking about, it was just a storage bag owned by a mid-innate realm cultivator, and the cultivation resources in it were not in Lin Chen's eyes.
What's more, after the little squirrel had already clearly shown his uneasiness, after knowing that there was an inexplicable danger here, he only had the idea of leaving this place as soon as possible.
However, when he heard the second voice, when he heard the word "treasure", Lin Chen's heart was a little puzzled.
Because from his observations these days, this area must have suffered extremely fierce battles to cause this scene today.
And what is more critical is the time that this area has existed, just from the buildings left on the ruined ruins, at least more than a thousand years.
With such a long period of time, even the most powerful treasures will completely lose their power and become ordinary weapons.
Although Lin Chen didn't know if the strange creatures that appeared in this area had survived for such a long time, as far as his observation of this area was concerned, there would definitely not be any treasures.
Maybe there would be in the complex he was going to, but in this white desert, everything was buried under the sand, and there would be no treasure at all.
But now he suddenly heard the word "treasure" from a person's mouth, and it was still a treasure with light, as if it had not completely lost its power.
Regardless of whether what this person said was true or not, since the four of them would fight for the "treasures" in their mouths, and even betray the old feelings in the past, all of them attracted Lin Chen's attention, and also gave him the determination to witness it.
