C1831 He Yudan's Return
In a rush, Zhang Chaoran took out the Sword of Ancient Inquisition and sent it out to meet the incoming attack.
He was already injured, so a sword strike that came out of nowhere would not be a match for Wenren Wu-Shuang.
Yang Zhen's Sword of Truth was the White Sword that broke through Gu Wen Jian's defense, and left a mark on Zhang Chao Ran's chest.
Zhang Chao Ran screamed as he fell to the ground.
At the same time, runes immediately appeared on his body. What made everyone happy was that the runes on his body were clearly less than before.
Could it be that his Escape Technique couldn't be activated this time? Yang Hou and the others could not help but have this thought.
Once Zhang Chao Ran couldn't activate the escape technique, how could he escape?
However, what made their faces turn ugly was that Zhang Chaoran quickly disappeared from their sight. Obviously, even though his escaping technique had weakened, Zhang Chaoran still left.
"This kid can actually leave!" Wan Bai said as he watched Zhang Chaoran run away.
"Elder Wan Bai, don't worry, the brat's injuries are even worse this time. As long as Brother Lin can find him in time, we can heavily injure him again! Furthermore, his escape technique is obviously not going to work. Maybe the next time we find him, he will not be able to use that escape technique. " Feng Dong laughed.
"Elder Feng Dong is right, as long as Little Brother Lin can find him again, he will not be able to escape us!" Yang Or was also one of them.
Immediately, everyone's gaze shifted towards Lin Long.
"Don't worry, I'm in charge of this." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
Then, he went to a place where the others couldn't see him. He let go of the rat and tried to sense if there were any traces of Zhang Chao Ran.
It was obvious that even if the evasion technique was significantly weaker this time, Zhang Chao Ran would still be able to escape to a relatively distant place.
Since they couldn't find Zhang Chaoran, they could only continue forward.
"After such a huge loss, what if Zhang Chaoran gets to the first and second floor?" Feng Feng Feng said worriedly as he walked.
During this period of time, they had also been able to see the flaw in Lin Long's method, which was that when Zhang Chao Ran was far away, Lin Long was fundamentally unable to determine Zhang Chao's direction.
"There is indeed such a possibility." Yang nodded, and then said, "However, you don't have to worry, because the further away he goes, the more likely it is that we'll get something from the field, so I don't think he'll do that. Moreover, as far as I know, this escape technique is usually only used to escape to the same level. If he were to leave this level and go to another level, he would have spent more time doing so.
"Perhaps the elder's words make sense." Hearing his words, the others couldn't help but nod their heads.
Immediately, the group continued their journey.
? ?.
Just as Lin Long and the rest were continuing onward, Zhang Chao Ran's figure appeared somewhere on the first floor. Obviously, Yang He's guess was not wrong, Zhang Chao Ran's escaping technique could only appear on the same floor.
Zhang Chaoran appeared under a tree. As soon as he appeared, he leaned against the tree and panted heavily.
His injuries were too severe. If it weren't for the silkworm armor on his body, he probably would have died on the spot.
After taking a few breaths, Zhang Chaoran quickly swallowed a healing pellet and started to meditate immediately. At this moment, he didn't even have the energy to check on the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet, and no ferocious beasts or humans had appeared.
After a period of time, Zhang Chaoran finally managed to catch his breath.
Damn it, how did those people find me? At this time, Zhang Chaoran had the time to think about this question.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason. How would he know that Lin Long had something like a Bamboo Mouse on him?
Since he couldn't understand the reason, and was worried that Lin Long and the rest would run far away and take all the things inside, Zhang Chao didn't retreat to the last layer, and instead continued to stay here.
He found another underground cave. This time, he had made up his mind. The moment he was discovered, he would immediately activate his escape technique, not giving his opponent any chance to attack him.
? ?.
On the other side, Lin Long and the others walked for four hours, but what made them gloomy was that in these four hours, they did not discover any kind of opportunity.
And looking at the surrounding vicious beasts, it was obvious that they were getting closer and closer to the last level.
Entering the last layer didn't mean that they would be able to find the jade token, so Yang suggested that they walk horizontally towards other areas of this layer. That way, they might even bump into Zhang Chaoran.
This suggestion immediately received the approval of the others.
Just like this, the crowd no longer moved forward but headed towards the left instead.
After this change, they quickly found a lucky chance.
The six of them were still the same. Other than Lin Long, the rest of them were Yang Or, Feng Feng Feng, Feng Dong, Wan Bai and Li Qianjing.
As for the other Rank 4 Beast Warrior, Elder Gui, one of his legs was broken, so he didn't have much combat power. Thus, he didn't dare to go in with them.
After entering, they discovered that there was another hall. In the center of the hall was still a pile of dried up bones. The dried up bones were still pointing at the stone wall in front of them just like before.
This time, Yang Dong and the rest did not rush to the stone wall and hit on the stone wall as they had previously done. Instead, they shifted their gaze onto Lin Long.
Then he asked, "Brother Lin, how did you get that golem out?"
Under the gazes of everyone present, Lin Long did not hide anything, and followed up by using the method he had previously done to hit the withered bone's finger.
With a palm strike, the skeleton's arm impressively moved downwards. Then, a large hole opened up between the bone and the stone wall. Soon after, a stone statue rose up from the ground.
Seeing this statue appear, Yang Chen and the rest didn't care. They all surrounded it.
The person who had appeared behind the stone golem also sent out a palm attack towards the golem.
Upon being attacked, the golem immediately turned around. However, before it could strike again, another palm struck its back.
It immediately turned around, but the result was the same. Before it could release its palm force, it was hit again.
Helpless, it could only randomly greet Yang Hou and the others. However, with their strength, how could they give it the chance to attack?
Just like this, the statue was powerless to fight back.
As time passed, cracks had clearly appeared on its body.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened as they waited for the stone statue to be destroyed.
Finally, with an explosive sound, the stone golem was destroyed. At the same time, a black jade tablet flew out from its chest.
At this moment, Li Qianjing, who was the closest to him, reached out his hand to grab the jade token.
Just as he was about to grab the black jade token, a palm energy shot towards the jade token. Wan Bai, who was standing to the side, saw that he couldn't win against Li Qianjing, so he decided to destroy it.
After being hit by Wan Bai's palm energy, the jade token flew towards the exit of the hall.
After being startled for a moment, Yang Hou and the rest immediately rushed towards the jade token, while Lin Long also rushed forward at the same time.
His movement technique was the best, so he was the one in front.
How could Yang Hou give him the advantage before everyone else? For a moment, three streams of energy shot towards him.
Lin Long was able to take the three strikes head on, but if he was to do this, his speed would inevitably slow down, and not only would he not get the jade plates, he would be injured.
Therefore, when his mind raced, Lin Long immediately chose to dodge. Even though he dodged, he obviously lost the initiative to snatch the jade tablet.
In the end, it was Feng Dong who charged at the forefront. Even Feng Dong did not expect such a situation.
However, Li Qianjing, who could still free himself, did not want Feng Dong to have it either. Thus, he directly slapped him behind the back of the head.
If Feng Dong chose to take it head-on, the situation would be as Lin Long had predicted, he would suffer as a result, and probably would not be able to obtain the jade tablet either.
Moreover, getting this jade token didn't mean he would get any treasures.
Therefore, Feng Dong didn't choose to take the blow head on. Instead, he turned around and sent a palm strike towards Li Qianjing who was behind him.
For a moment, the six of them actually stopped and let the jade token fall to the ground with a crisp sound.
Just as the six of them were preparing to charge forward again, they were stopped in their tracks because one of them had already walked to the front of the jade token and picked it up.
When he raised his head to look at that person's face, Yang Hou and the others were stunned because the person who suddenly came in and picked up the jade token was none other than the man who had suddenly disappeared, He Yudan.
"He Yudan, why are you back?"
"Who allowed you to come in?"
Yang Dong and the rest could not help but shout out.
The reason why no one was allowed to enter was naturally because Yang or the others had arranged for several people to stand guard at the entrance. When they entered, they had already instructed those who were guarding the entrance not to enter, regardless of who it was.
Who would have thought that these people would let He Yudan in just like that? And they even picked up the jade token.
"I walked to the entrance. Those people didn't even say don't come in, I just directly came in." He Yudan asked with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing He Yudan's words, Yang Dong and the rest were speechless. How could they believe what He Yudan had just said?
"Miss He, I will not pursue this matter with you, as long as you throw me the jade token!" Yang or directly said.
"Miss He, give it to me. You're a member of the Li Clan!" Li Qianjing, who was at the side, quickly shouted.
"Don't give it to them, give it to me!" Wan Bai also did not want to be outdone.
At last, Feng Dong also shouted.
"Look at you, I don't know who to give it to." He Yudan was stunned.
"Miss He, give it to me." Lin Long laughed.
Hearing Lin Long's words, He Yudan could not help but smile, and immediately replied: "Alright!"
When she said those words, Lin Long's figure moved, and already arrived beside her, while she directly gave his jade tablet to Lin Long.
He actually took advantage of this brat. Seeing this scene, Yang Hou and the others' faces immediately became so dark that water would drip out of it.
"Lin Li, this jade token cannot be given to you like this!" Wan Bai said coldly.
"Why can't you just give it to me? I'll give it to whoever gets it first." Lin Long said indifferently.
"That won't do. He Yudan didn't get permission to enter. If you really want this jade plate, you must punish her!" Feng Feng Feng also frowned.
"Why is it no longer possible? Your people can come in too, but you can't let them in." Lin Long said.
He already had the item in hand, so how could he hand it over?
"If you continue pestering us, we'll rob you!" Wan Bai couldn't help but shout.
"Fine, then just snatch it, if you don't want to find Zhang Chaoran." Lin Long said.
These people did not have a good impression of He Yudan. He was obviously a rank 4 beast, so he was not worried at all with He Yudan's help.
As soon as He Yudan entered, he could feel the aura of a Rank 4 Beast Master from He Yudan's body. Since Yang Hou and the rest did not expect He Yudan's strength to suddenly increase, they did not notice it at all.
Of course, the most important thing was that their telepathic thoughts were not as strong as Lin Long's.
Hearing Lin Long mention Zhang Chao Ran, the few of them fell silent.
"You are ruthless!" Following which, he shouted out viciously.
"Haha, then let's head out." After fighting for a while, Lin Long directly pulled He Yudan and walked out, ignoring the people behind him.
"Brat, I will let you be arrogant first, you will be the next one after taking down Zhang Chao Ran!" After seeing Lin Long leaving, Wan Bai said coldly.
"This kid is too arrogant!" Feng Feng Feng also couldn't help but say.
When he thought about how he had also suffered under Lin Long's hand, an angry expression naturally surfaced on his face.
Li Qianjing and Feng Dong's expressions did not look any better.
"Let's let this brat feel proud for a bit. We will settle the score with him sooner or later!" Yang Or was also one of them.
He did not forget about Yang Jiu dying at Lin Long's hands.
"If that's the case, then we'll let him live first. We can deal with him after we take down Zhang Jue!" Feng Dong said at the end.
With these words, the few of them left this lucky chance.
After leaving this place, the few of them were naturally the first to reprimand the few people blocking the entrance.
These people had wronged expressions on their faces. They had indeed stopped He Yudan just now. Who would have thought that He Yudan's movement technique was so outstanding that he would instantly rush into the entrance. They couldn't stop him at all.
The reason He Yudan was able to charge in with her movement technique was because her strength had increased. However, they didn't notice this because He Yudan was a Rank 3 beast.
On the other side, Lin Long looked at He Yudan and asked, "Miss He, have you reached Rank 4 as a Beast Tamer?"
"Thanks to Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, my strength has risen to the early stage of Rank 4." He Yudan laughed.
"However, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, where did you get the White Moon Pellet? Could it have been refined directly from a White Moon Fruit?" Previously, due to the lack of time, He Yudan was unable to ask this question.
"Yeah, sort of." Lin Long nodded.
"Then you are too amazing, to be able to refine a White Moon Pill in such a short period of time!" He Yudan could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"Not bad." Lin Long laughed.
"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, look at my face. Has it become better?" He Yudan then asked.
Although she was a girl, He Yudan usually didn't like to wear a bronze mirror on her body. Moreover, there weren't any rivers inside the secret realm. She simply didn't know whether her face had changed or not.
She could only judge by the feel of her face.
Listening to her words, Lin Long immediately shifted his gaze onto her face. After looking at his carefully, Lin Long nodded, "The scars on your face have been slowly healed, and will soon recover to normal."2
Lin Long wasn't trying to console her, but rather, there was such a change in her expression. Of course, it was a short time, so there wouldn't be a large change in such a short time.
"That's great." Hearing Lin Long's words, He Yudan could not help but smile.
Following that, the group of people continued to move towards the left under Lin Long's lead.
