Chapter 2026 - 2027: Chain Lake Giant Tortoise
The minions of the Black Mountain mercenary group became panicked upon seeing this.However, Lin Chen did not give them a chance. His speed increased, mercilessly slaughtering them one by one on the ground.
Even Fang Xiaolian had never seen Lin Chen in such a frenzied state; she became even more afraid.
"Brother Chen... what's wrong with you..." Fang Xiaolian asked nervously.
Of course, she didn't dare say these words directly. She knew very well that if she spoke them directly, Lin Chen would likely dislike her even more, so she held back.
After killing those minions of the Black Mountain mercenary group, Lin Chen sat directly on the ground.
Covered in blood, he was still immersed in the sorrow of losing Qing Ling.
Fang Xiaolian walked over slowly and put her hand on Lin Chen's shoulder. Immediately, Lin Chen placed the Tianyan Ancient Sword horizontally on Fang Xiaolian's neck, his face murderous.
"It's me, Brother Chen, it's me!" Fang Xiaolian quickly shouted.
Lin Chen didn't immediately realize it was Fang Xiaolian; he was in a state of agitation and couldn't snap out of it.
Fang Xiaolian felt a bit heartbroken.
Despite being a woman, Qing Ling, though having animosity with Lin Chen, earned his pity for saving him.
As for herself, who had followed Lin Chen all this time, she had never received any affection from him, which made Fang Xiaolian start to feel jealous of the deceased Qing Ling.
"Brother Chen!" Fang Xiaolian began to cry.
Only then did Lin Chen slowly come to his senses, realizing he had used his sword against Fang Xiaolian's neck, and immediately withdrew it.
"Xiaolian, I...I'm sorry!" Lin Chen quickly apologized.
However, his apology was not what Fang Xiaolian needed. She hoped to win Lin Chen's heart completely, but Lin Chen had never expressed his true feelings, leaving Fang Xiaolian somewhat confused.
"Brother Chen... you're too agitated today... come on... let's go wash up by the lake!" Fang Xiaolian supported Lin Chen and walked towards the lake.
The closer they got to the lake, the more discomfort Lin Chen felt inwardly. He knew he had become much more irritable now, and if this restless heart wasn't stopped, it would cause harm to himself and others in the future.
But Lin Chen couldn't control this agitated state, making him feel even more bewildered.
Whoosh!
Upon reaching the lake, Fang Xiaolian started to wash Lin Chen slowly, but Lin Chen suddenly jumped into the lake with a splash, swimming freely in the water.
"Brother Chen! Be careful! There might be other monsters at the bottom of the lake!
As Lin Chen swam, the scene of Qing Ling's death continued to replay in his mind.
He was in deep pain.
"Ahhh!"
Lin Chen executed his "Shadow Burst Fist" on the lake's surface, causing the water to erupt.
Fang Xiaolian, standing by the side, was already stunned, watching various fish and shrimp fly onto the lake shore, flipping their bodies on the ground.
"Shadow Burst Fist!"
Lin Chen continued to shout in rage. He felt his divine energy had become more condensed, yet despite this, he couldn't save Qing Ling, which was the source of his anguish.
An hour later, Lin Chen finally emerged from the lake.
By then, Fang Xiaolian had already prepared a fire, urging Lin Chen to quickly dry his clothes to avoid catching a cold.
Lin Chen was in a daze, not knowing what he should be doing here. Perhaps he no longer had many opportunities, but even losing these opportunities, it didn't matter to him.
So, Lin Chen stripped down to his underwear, remaining unfeeling.
But Fang Xiaolian felt very shy.
"Brother Chen... I'm going to get some fish to roast for you. You haven't eaten in a long time and need to replenish your strength..."
Lin Chen didn't reply.
Fang Xiaolian went directly to the lake to start picking up some fish.
But after picking up two, she noticed some movement on the lake's surface.
"Brother Chen..." Fang Xiaolian instinctively called.
At this moment, the lake's water began to swirl, as if a giant beast was about to emerge!
Lin Chen also sensed a terrifying murderous aura and rushed over, pulling Fang Xiaolian away.
At this time, a giant turtle emerged from the lake!
"Chain Lake Turtle?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.
He had heard Mu Tie mention this monster, thinking it would only appear in the Chain Lake inside the beast mountain range, but unexpectedly, it appeared in an unknown outer lake, which truly shocked him!
You should know that this Chain Lake Turtle possesses the power of a god spirit of the sixth level, and with Lin Chen's current ability, it's still difficult to confront it.
"Xiaolian! Quickly drop the fish in your hand!" Lin Chen ordered.
"Ah?" Fang Xiaolian was too scared to move, completely at a loss.
Lin Chen directly grabbed the fish from her hand and threw them towards the Chain Lake Turtle.
The turtle inhaled deeply, swallowing all the fish and shrimp by the lakeside.
After that, the Chain Lake Turtle submerged back into the lake.
Only then did Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief, feeling less worried.
"Ah! We should have kept one; now we have nothing to eat, what do we do!" Fang Xiaolian complained.
"Not a single one could be kept! That turtle feeds on fish and shrimp, and allegedly once destroyed a small country for fish jerky. Such formidable power is beyond our ability to resist." Lin Chen replied.
"Really? I think it's just a... basketball-court-sized turtle! Could it be that powerful?" Fang Xiaolian remarked helplessly.
"Never underestimate it!" Lin Chen said earnestly.
"Yes, yes... I was wrong, Brother Chen, I'm sorry!" Fang Xiaolian apologized repeatedly.
Seeing Fang Xiaolian work hard yet obedient, Lin Chen felt he had been too harsh. Such severity didn't make him a good brother to Fang Xiaolian.
"Xiaolian, thank you so much these past few days. Without you by my side, I wouldn't have made it this far." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Chen, you're finally smiling. It's been so long since I've seen you smile, alas!" Fang Xiaolian also felt quite helpless.
"It's okay, without fish, I can hunt some wild boars in the forest. Previously, at the place where the red-eyed golden ape died, I saw wild boars roaming, which can serve as food."
With that, Lin Chen ran into the forest directly, quickly returning with two wild boars, and the two of them feasted on the game to satisfy their hunger.
