Chapter 189: He hasn't gone crazy, has he?

"Ouch! You old geezer, I think I've caused a disaster. Brother Lin is going to be killed because of me."

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan turned around blankly. He then recounted what had just happened in the group.

"That kid shouldn't be that stupid; don't worry."

"If he could die because of a joke you made, he would have been gone long ago. After all, that's not the only bad idea you've all come up with."

The old man was much calmer.

"That's true. Now I can rest easy; I guess Brother Lin didn't take it seriously."

Xiao Yan patted his chest, his mood instantly improving.

He turned back to continue his alchemy; this furnace of pills was crucial and could not be botched.

Lin Bai exited the chat group and squatted directly on the ground, beginning to search for a rock that caught his eye.

"Senior Brother, what are you looking for?"

Wang Wang Yuping was puzzled. Seeing that the place was about to collapse, he didn't understand what Lin Bai was doing.

"It's over. Junior Brother Lin hasn't gone crazy, has he? He's planning to stay here and wait for death."

Wei Xiang'an was on the verge of tears, not expecting that Lin Bai, the only one with a chance to get them out, had also given up.

"Junior Brother, why don't we try joining forces? Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope."

Lin Lin Yunzhong also thought Lin Bai had accepted his fate and hurriedly stepped forward.

He couldn't be sure of his own strength, but with Lin Bai, maybe they could really give it a try.

"Yes, Senior Brother. If that doesn't work, there's still me and Wei Xiang'an; we can help too."

Wang Wang Yuping also hurriedly chimed in.

Although he didn't care for those two, he didn't want to watch his Senior Brother give up on himself.

"This one looks good."

"Can you all stop nagging? I'm going to be bored to death by you."

Lin Bai couldn't imagine that in the time it took him to find a rock, these three could be so long-winded.

Fortunately, Lin Bai finally saw one he liked.

He stood up from the ground and looked impatiently at the three people in front of him.

"Senior Brother, we were just worried about you."

Wang Wang Yuping looked aggrieved and somewhat pitiful.

"Junior Brother, let's try it together."

"Move aside, don't block my view."

Lin Bai pushed Lin Lin Yunzhong away in disgust.

"Hey, don't you..."

Seeing Lin Bai almost push Lin Lin Yunzhong over, Wei Xiang'an became unhappy and went up to argue with Lin Bai.

The next second, seeing the rock Lin Bai threw, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Damn, the guy has the capital to be arrogant.

They saw Lin Bai's rock projected out in a parabolic arc.

The rock, which should have landed on the ground, actually passed directly through the void.

The next second, the crack, originally the size of a rock, gradually expanded until it was large enough for a person to pass through.

"Let's go. Why are you all standing there like idiots?"

Lin Bai walked a few steps, and seeing that the others were still standing in place, he stopped and looked back at them.

"Ah, it's coming."

The others finally reacted and hurriedly followed Lin Bai out.

By the time Lin Bai and the others emerged from the exit, the entire Ten Thousand Snake Cave collapsed instantly.

Even the spot that Lin Bai had smashed open with the rock disappeared.

Until they were out, the other three still hadn't recovered.

Lin Lin Yunzhong looked at Lin Bai with some confusion; he had only heard that this man was heaven-defying.

But having witnessed it, he still couldn't believe how the other party had done it.

Such an ordinary-looking rock had become like a divine artifact in his hands.

"Senior Brother, what is going on?"

Wang Wang Yuping was puzzled and turned to look at Lin Bai.

"This Ten Thousand Snake Cave was originally conjured by the thousand-year-old snake demon using her own magic."

"Now that I have turned the thousand-year-old snake demon into a juvenile, she clearly no longer has the magic power to support the illusion."

"Naturally, it would collapse."

Lin Bai explained.

"That's not what I meant; it's about that rock."

Wang Wang Yuping shook his head, indicating that wasn't what he meant.

"It's getting late. If you don't want to freeze to death here, you can stay."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, seeing that the sky was about to darken and the temperature had already begun to drop.

"Senior Brother, wait for me!"

Seeing that Lin Bai had already left, Wang Wang Yuping hurriedly chased after him.

However, Lin Bai stopped after a few steps, and Wang Wang Yuping, who was following behind, almost bumped into him.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Wang Wang Yuping was puzzled. Lin Bai turned around and looked at Lin Lin Yunzhong and Wei Xiang'an behind him.

"Don't forget our bet. See you at the sect."

Lin Bai waved his hand and, with a smile, led Wang Wang Yuping away.

"Potato, I'm hungry."

"Potato, I'm so dirty; I want to take a bath."

"Senior Brother, I still have a bun here; you eat it first."

"As for a bath, we can only go to an inn."

Lin Bai and the others walked further and further away, their voices growing fainter.

Lin Lin Yunzhong, who was standing in place, lowered his body and picked up the rock Lin Bai had thrown earlier.

"Senior Brother, is this really just an ordinary rock?"

Wei Xiang'an stepped forward, staring at the rock in Lin Lin Yunzhong's hand; he really couldn't see anything different about it.

"Let's go too."

Lin Lin Yunzhong didn't answer, but silently put the rock away.

"Senior Brother, what were you looking for in the main hall earlier?"

Back at the inn, Wang Wang Yuping asked impatiently; he was just too curious about what could be important enough to make Lin Bai risk going back to find it.

"I want to take a bath. Are you coming in?"

Lin Bai turned around and looked at Wang Wang Yuping, who was chattering behind him.

0 .. ...

"No, Senior Brother, you wash first."

Wang Wang Yuping shook his head and hurriedly left the door of Lin Bai's room.

Only then did Lin Bai turn and enter the room, walking to the bathtub and soaking his entire body in it.

After soaking for a while, Lin Bai suddenly thought of something and took a small colorful snake out of his space.

The small snake lay on Lin Bai's arm, and the cool touch made Lin Bai feel very comfortable.

However, if Lin Bai had looked closely, he would have noticed that the small snake's eyes were looking at the bottom of the bucket, its cheeks were red, and it immediately looked away.

"I didn't expect you to be so cute when you're small."

Lin Bai reached out and rubbed the snake's little head; the snake seemed somewhat dissatisfied and flicked its tongue.

What Lin Bai held in his hand was the thousand-year-old snake demon; she was the one Lin Bai had risked going back to find.

Although this thousand-year-old snake demon had become small, her intelligence and cultivation base were actually still there, just without the wildness.

It was just that her snake core was in Lin Bai's hands, and combined with the fact that Lin Bai had used the Reincarnation Technique on her, she had ended up like this.

Her snake core could still be cultivated back; it was just a matter of time.

Moreover, even without the snake core, she now had the cultivation of the Golden Core realm.

Lin Bai had picked her up entirely because he felt that having such a pet with infinite potential was an extremely cool thing.

And when necessary, she could also help him.

A few days later, Lin Bai and the others returned to the Beginningless Land as scheduled.

The first thing they did upon returning was to go to the mission collection point, intending to exchange for points.

……force.
