Chapter 382: Bone‑Chilling Cold

Huzi frowned; the first person that came to mind was Lin Chuan.

Looking at the boy who was only just over ten, and seeing his harmless expression, he felt he had been overthinking.

No matter how you look at it, it's just a child of the Divine Soul Realm.

The secret realm only allows cultivators up to the Mortal Dust Eight Realms to enter; even if Lin Chuan hides his cultivation, what difference does it make?

It's impossible to act silently and strip a Mortal Dust Supreme Being of combat power, right?

Even Xue'er's sister couldn't do that.

Probably even a typical Legend Realm cultivator couldn't.

It must be something in the Ancient Forest's demonic beasts that affected the fight.

"Huzi, you're getting stronger and stronger."

Guizi cheered, "What technique did you just use to take out those three people in an instant? I didn't expect such hidden skill."

Huzi didn't dare to claim credit, his heart trembling, "I think this Ancient Forest is strange; it might be hiding some ghostly thing."

"Those three were pressing me down, and it felt like they were inexplicably possessed."

"Maybe the next one will be us."

He was genuinely frightened, not wanting to inexplicably throw his life away here.

Hearing Huzi's words, Guizi felt a chill down his spine and said, "Let's leave quickly; besides, Xue'er's sister isn't here."

The two looked at Lin Chuan.

"Little brother Lin Chuan, have you discovered anything? How exactly can we break the seal to leave?"

"Follow me."

The method Lin Chuan could think of was simple.

It was to tame a demonic beast and have it lead them off this isolated island.

Having said that, Lin Chuan walked toward the depths of the Ancient Forest.

Huzi and Guizi exchanged a glance and could only follow; the deeper they went, the more they felt the oppressive pressure of a powerful aura.

"Lin Chuan, are you sure you still want to go forward?"

Guizi panicked, "Once we step into the demonic beasts' domain, a swarm will pour in; we won't be able to escape."

"Even if we can briefly unleash the power of the Mortal Dust Supreme Being realm, we still can't withstand the massive numbers of demonic beasts, nor can we split our focus to protect you."

"To leave the Ancient Forest, we must go deeper," Lin Chuan analyzed.

"Haven't you noticed? Around the outskirts of the Ancient Forest, no matter what disturbance occurs, the demonic beasts in the core area never emerge."

"They must be restrained by something."

"If we find that thing, we can control the demonic beasts here and leave the Ancient Forest; otherwise, wasting away to death here is useless."

"Right!" Hearing Lin Chuan's analysis, Guizi slapped his forehead.

Huzi blinked his wise big eyes, "How did I not think of that?"

Guizi sighed again, "The problem is how we can find that thing under the guard of countless demonic beasts and seize it."

"Sneak inside."

Lin Chuan proposed a plan, "If we're discovered, you draw attention while I go find the item; how does that sound?"

"Can you do it?" Huzi asked, "You're only a Divine Soul Realm cultivator; any demonic beast in the secret realm could threaten you."

"I have a concealing Secret Art."

Lin Chuan said seriously, "Otherwise, why do you think the Cloud Kingdom sent me in? It's because I possess a unique skill."

"Makes sense."

Guizi wholeheartedly agreed, "Then it's settled."

Huzi placed his hand on his forehead, "Guizi, you're just going to entrust your life to Lin Chuan like that?"

Guizi wore an indifferent expression, "It's fine; I've already given it once, I trust him."

It was clear that the two members of the Tribe of the Spirits were simple‑minded, making a hasty decision and heading with Lin Chuan toward the depths of the Ancient Forest.

Even though the three did their best to conceal their aura.

But after continuously going deeper, they were eventually discovered.

"Roar—!"

The demonic beast that found them was a male lion; with a howl it shook the forest, startling a multitude of demonic beasts.

The three instantly fell into an encirclement.

Demonic beasts rushed in from all directions.

"Lin Chuan, our lives now depend on you."

At that moment, there was no way for them to retreat.

"Wait for me."

While Guizi and Huzi drew attention, Lin Chuan completely shielded his own aura and headed deeper.

"He won't run off alone, will he?" Huzi stared.

"He won't."

Guizi firmly believed Lin Chuan, "If he were that kind of person, he wouldn't have saved me in the desert."

Saying that, he unfolded the dual bloodline Secret Art.

Guizi's Secret Art was simple.

It was defense—ultimate defense—hiding inside a turtle shell to take hits.

Lin Chuan advanced through the dense forest, spiritual power surrounding him, making him like a ghost as he slipped past numerous demonic beasts unnoticed.

He let Guizi and Huzi draw the demonic beasts.

Mainly because he fears there are too many demon beasts guarding that thing; if he uses soul power to fight so many demon beasts, it would still be rather strenuous for him, who is only in the Deity Soul Realm.

If someone acts as a sandbag, it becomes much easier.

Divine Perception spread, and Lin Chuan quickly found what he wanted.

As he expected, in the core area of the demon beasts' Ancient Forest, there is a divine artifact that balances all demon beasts.

It is a wreath.

It looks as if it has just been woven by someone and placed there.

A few powerful demon beasts are crawling before the wreath, their massive bodies trembling, full of awe toward the wreath.

"Found it."

Lin Chuan strides into the cave where the wreath is placed.

A few Mortal Dust Supreme Being demon beasts dwelling in the cave wore puzzled expressions, "Where did this Human Race come from?" and they walked straight in.

Looking for death?

The tiger demon guarding the outermost perimeter stretched out a claw and slapped toward Lin Chuan.

"Kneel!"

Lin Chuan let out a light shout, his eyes shimmering with boundless divine radiance, his entire demeanor suddenly changed, looking nothing like a Deity Soul Realm youth.

The terrifying soul power rippled throughout the cave.

All demon beasts felt as if their fate's throat had been grasped; a single movement would cause their souls to scatter, and they could only watch helplessly as the youth walked toward the wreath.

The moment he grasped the wreath, the soul power dissipated and returned to Lin Chuan's body.

The demon beasts, however, lay crawling on the ground, no longer ferocious, obeying his command.

"I see."

Having obtained the wreath, Lin Chuan sensed with his mind and finally learned the way to leave the demon beasts' Ancient Forest.

To leave the Ancient Forest, one must use the wreath to activate a teleportation array; relying on a Physical Body to cross would only result in being devoured clean by the sea's demon beasts.

On the other side, Gui Zi and Hu Zi were still battling demon beasts.

"My goodness, Lin Chuan won't really run away, will he?"

Gui Zi lay on the ground, "If you don't come soon, my shell will shatter."

Hu Zi glowered coldly, "I told you, he's not a good—"

Buzz!

A powerful surge swept across, cutting Hu Zi's words short; all the strange beasts simultaneously halted their attacks, crawling on the ground.

In his line of sight, a youth's figure appeared.

"Lin Chuan!" Gui Zi exclaimed joyfully, "I knew you wouldn't abandon us."

Hu Zi forced a weak smile, awkwardly scratching his head.

"Let's go, to the next area."

Lin Chuan activated the wreath, and a spatial corridor unfolded.

The three stepped into the corridor together.

The environment of heaven and earth changed again, and piercing cold gusts assaulted.

"Extreme Cold Land!"

Gui Zi shivered, "Huh! The Jade Talisman lit up, and there are Tribe of the Spirits again, such a powerful aura! It's little sister Xue'er!"
