章節 573: Chapter 573: Grasping the Situation
One-Eyed Man was in a pretty good mood.
He wasn't thinking too much. His gains were plentiful, his mood excellent. Nothing needed to be said, except that he hoped to encounter such good fortune more often in the future. Truly, things obtained for free were often much more satisfying than those found through searching.
The difference between the two could only be understood through personal experience.
"Chief, what did you find just now?" Master Yongxin inquired softly, his seemingly Buddha-filled face betraying curious glints in his eyes.
"Nothing, I didn't find anything," One-Eyed Man replied.
Master Yongxin narrowed his eyes, "I saw it. There's no need to hide it, is there?"
"Really, nothing."
Neither of them spoke, just staring at each other.
"Amitabha!" Master Yongxin put his palms together, his composure slightly cracking.
The implication... you think I'm a fool.
And he was right.
One-Eyed Man did indeed consider him a fool. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, One-Eyed Man wouldn't admit it. Don't ask why, he wouldn't tell him. Good things should be kept first. Sharing would only happen after returning, if they proved not very useful.
Lin Fan continued sightseeing with Old Zhang and the others.
One-Eyed Man said, "Van Gogh, you and your master should find a place to hide. I don't think this matter will be resolved easily."
A kind reminder.
Lest they be overturned the moment they leave.
Van Gogh said, "Thank you for the reminder, Chief Xu."
One-Eyed Man looked at Van Gogh. He hadn't expected that a former Heavenly King-level powerhouse of a nation would become someone else's servant. It was truly unexpected, but understandable. The path to becoming stronger seemed vast and boundless, but in reality, it was already blocked.
Wanting to become stronger and finding a new path was extremely difficult.
The unreliable Alliance High Court was one path.
Ancient mountains and ruins were another.
Becoming a subordinate of another powerful being was also an excellent route.
Of course, there was another path, and the most guaranteed one: following Lin Fan around, going wherever danger lurked. With good luck, direct ascension wasn't out of the question.
Van Gogh relayed the situation to his master. Long pondered for a moment before making a decision: retreat. Hide first. There was nothing worth caring about at Tianchi. Preserving their lives was paramount.
Moreover, given the current situation, the aftermath would certainly be dangerous.
Retreating early was the wise choice.
As for following Lin Fan, that was impossible. He could suppress his pride and converse with them amicably, but wanting him to submit was out of the question.
After all, he was a dragon with a master.
Unless they had subdued him earlier, when he was masterless, and expressed the intention to take him as a subordinate, he might have considered it. Now, it was basically impossible.
Liu Haichan was very interested in the dragon.
One of the four divine beasts of Taoism.
If he could subdue it, his status within Taoism would surely soar, reaching the pinnacle.
Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.
With his current strength, subduing such a divine beast was beyond his capabilities. He might even become the divine beast's pet.
One-Eyed Man noticed the Starry Sky Clan disciples still following behind.
It was strange.
Oddly inexplicable.
What was the point of following at this point?
Even if they were waiting to reap the benefits, they should consider whether they had the ability to do so.
With Lin Fan leading the way, what were they thinking?
They likely wouldn't even get a taste.
"Chief, what do these Starry Sky Clan disciples want?" Master Yongxin whispered, constantly observing them, always maintaining a distance.
Perhaps this distance was a safe distance for the Starry Sky Clan disciples.
"Have you ever played a game?" One-Eyed Man asked.
Master Yongxin replied, "A Buddhist monk never plays games. I spend my days chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name."
"No wonder you don't understand. If you did, you'd know that when you see a big boss fighting monsters, everyone follows, hoping to fish in troubled waters and pick up some items." One-Eyed Man explained in his unique way.
Simple and clear.
If even this couldn't be understood, it indicated a slight intellectual deficiency.
Master Yongxin nodded, as if he had understood.
Little Bao asked, "Where are we going now?"
Lin Fan said, "The last time I was here, I sensed a very strong aura coming from over there. It's a pity I didn't meet them then. So, I want to find them and have a good spar."
"Are they very powerful?" Little Bao asked.
"Probably quite powerful."
Judging by the aura alone, they were indeed powerful. But without meeting them in person, it was hard to say for sure. Regardless, he wanted to spar.
It had been a long time since he'd sparred with a strong opponent.
The two-tailed squirrel squeaked, appearing apprehensive.
As if it knew of some terrifying entity up ahead.
Little Bao stroked the two-tailed squirrel's head, comforting it, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I believe you are definitely the strongest," Little Bao said, looking at Lin Fan adoringly.
Lin Fan smiled, "Good, I'll work hard."
"I believe in you too," Old Zhang chimed in.
Both Little Bao and Old Zhang wanted to express their faith in Lin Fan.
The Evil Chicken grumbled inwardly.
Such blatant flattery.
Look at their sincere little eyes, completely immersed in the act.
Look at him, the Evil Chicken, a true Evil Hero King. Even knowing this guy was strong, did he flatter him? No, never.
He always maintained his proper stance.
He was an Evil undercover agent, specifically planted by their side to gather useful intelligence and improve his strength. He had never licked this guy's boots.
The difference was immediately apparent.
"Ginseng, Chicken, don't you agree?" Little Bao asked.
Ginseng said, "Exactly."
"Cluck, cluck," the Evil Chicken chirped.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the Emperor Zombie had appeared. But there were no zombies, they had all been eliminated. The journey had been entirely safe.
One-Eyed Man looked around carefully, in case anything had been missed.
But unfortunately, there were no discoveries.
One-Eyed Man glanced back. The Starry Sky Clan disciples were still following, not leaving. They were chatting in small groups, as if discussing something.
There really wasn't anything worth following for.
Let them know clearly, they wouldn't gain anything.
If they were closer, they could hear their conversation.
"The strongest energy fluctuations in Changbai Mountain are in this direction. It seems there's a valuable treasure."
"So what if there is? Didn't you see them heading in this direction too? Even if we encounter it, we won't get anything."
"Sigh, I now agree with the three clans' ancestors stepping in to eliminate him. Otherwise, we won't get any benefits from following."
"Soon, it will happen soon."
Now that Lin Fan had taken the initiative to fight the three clan elders, the three clans were clearly about to go to war. When the ancestors arrived, they would directly eliminate him, and everything would be resolved.
Up to now, they had discovered that this planet was quite magical.
Not as simple as they had imagined.
Soon, they arrived at the location where the ancient bell had been found. The bell had been taken back. Its chime was captivating, capable of drawing people into an illusion. Fortunately, Lin Fan had been there that day, perfectly breaking the illusion.
Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
"Brings back memories," One-Eyed Man said.
Lin Fan looked up into the distance. Others couldn't see anything, but he could. At the far end, a thick aura was churning, the aura of a powerful being.
Little Bao asked, "Lin Fan, why would such a powerful person live up there?"
"Hmm, maybe they like the quiet," Lin Fan replied.
Old Zhang said, "I guess they must like the scenery here."
Lin Fan smiled, not saying anything more. He felt a sense of anticipation. He would soon see this powerful being, and then have a good spar. It would certainly be a good experience.
As they continued to climb, they finally passed the place where the Dao Tree had once stood. Because of the Dao Tree's presence, this place had once possessed a special aura. But with the Dao Tree taken back to the Special Department by Lin Fan, it now seemed ordinary.
Master Yongxin was excited, hoping for some gains. He finally understood that those who were slow had no right to obtain good things. Look at One-Eyed Man, usually appearing so proper, but unexpectedly, his methods were extremely unscrupulous, taking advantage of someone's unconscious state to loot their body.
Was this something a person would do?
If it were him, he would definitely be even more excessive than One-Eyed Man, not stopping until he had stripped them bare. Buddha is merciful and requires understanding of others.
As they walked towards the mountain peak, a pressure descended, as if they had entered some forbidden zone. Forbidden zones had taboos, ordinary people couldn't enter. Following Lin Fan, they were unaffected, so the pressure was borne entirely by Lin Fan.
This was equivalent to putting money into the merit box and letting Buddha deal with him.
"Squeak!"
The two-tailed squirrel was very uneasy, curled up in Little Bao's arms, trembling. Having lived in Changbai Mountain for so long, it seemed to know of some dangerous presence.
Brother Tiger and Brother Eagle looked grave.
Like the two-tailed squirrel, they had always lived here and naturally knew that some places were off-limits, considered forbidden grounds by them. This was the most dangerous place.
They had seen other intelligent animals like themselves enter and never come out.
That had been many years ago.
At this moment, the Starry Sky Clan disciples who had been following were hindered. Initially, they could withstand the pressure, but as they went deeper, the pressure became heavier, as if a thousand-jin boulder was pressing down on them.
Encountering this situation, everyone understood.
Suddenly, pressure descended, making it difficult to move. This was enough to indicate that this place was likely the most important part of Changbai Mountain. Realizing this, the Starry Sky Clan disciples were like they had been injected with chicken blood.
Full of fighting spirit.
But problems gradually arose. As they went deeper, the pressure grew heavier, making it difficult to breathe.
"Damn it, why aren't they affected at all?"
A group of Starry Sky Clan disciples watched the figures in the distance moving further and further away, feeling resentful.
How excessive.
