"This is clearly something I saw first, why do you say it's yours?"
Liu Yu Jiao was almost exploding with anger. She and her brother had just spotted this treasure and were about to pick it when it was blocked by a flying blade.
Truth be told, she didn't recognize the herb, but its appearance was exceptionally good.
A red, transparent rose, with flowing radiance, flashing colors, and swirling white mist, as if cast from crystal gemstones, possessing a unique divinity.
Liu Zheng Qing was also extremely angry. Although he didn't recognize it, its appearance alone was absolutely extraordinary.
Lin Feng was still a bit far away. While he couldn't see the specific treasure clearly, he could understand a thing or two just from the dispute between the two parties.
"Little girl, you're mistaken. Treasures have always belonged to those who are fated. You two are not yet considered fated individuals," the man in the blue shirt chuckled, fanning himself with a folding fan, looking like a suave young master.
"Pretentious and disgusting."
Seeing the man in the blue shirt's demeanor, Liu Yu Jiao became even more enraged.
"I hate it most when people insult me."
As soon as the words fell, the man in the blue shirt closed his folding fan, which directly transformed into a long sword, and launched an attack.
The Liu siblings felt that everything had been going wrong since entering this secret realm.
They had also not expected the people here to be so underhanded, with not a single one acting honorably.
"They're fighting, it's good they're fighting!"
Lin Feng watched the spectacle. If the man in the blue shirt's magical artifact was ever-changing, then the Liu siblings' treasures were countless. For a moment, both sides were thoroughly disgusted.
"I say, why don't we both take a step back?"
The man in the blue shirt panted.
"Neither of us can defeat the other in a short time, but we need to conserve our strength. Let's each retreat eight hundred paces, and then rely on our own abilities, how about that?"
"Why should we trust you?"
Liu Zheng Qing certainly didn't believe him.
"Exactly. Besides, you're the one trying to snatch something, so why should what you say be the rule?"
Liu Yu Jiao was also indignant. If it weren't for this despicable and shameless fellow, she and her brother would have already taken the treasure and left.
"You don't want to keep fighting, do you? How about we both swear a solemn oath?"
The man in the blue shirt was also steeling himself, thinking about a movement technique he had obtained from the inheritance of a powerful being. He was confident he could seize this exotic treasure.
"I swear here, I will never resort to underhanded tactics in this fair competition. If I violate this oath, may I be abandoned by the Heavenly Way."
The man in the blue shirt formed a hand seal. The Liu siblings nodded to each other and began to swear.
The two parties retreated, each one by two hundred paces, four hundred paces, six hundred paces, seven hundred paces...
Lin Feng directly attached speed talismans to his legs, a concealment talisman and an invisibility talisman on his body, and rushed towards the treasure.
The man in the blue shirt and the other two watched helplessly as the treasure suddenly disappeared. They immediately understood that they had been ambushed.
"Little thief, you dare!"
"Your stupid plan!"
"Arghhhhhhhhh, I will never rest until I've avenged myself against that thief!"
In an instant, various magical attacks were unleashed. Lin Feng looked at the area being bombarded, feeling a chill run down his spine. It was a good thing he had run fast!
Running wildly, Lin Feng stopped under a large tree. Seeing no one around, he climbed up the tree again.
In the secret realm, without a doubt, daytime would be much safer than night. He checked the spiritual plants he had snatched and learned some information.
Lin Feng began to conserve his energy, closed his eyes, and started to doze.
After an unknown amount of time, in a daze, Lin Feng heard voices.
"Damn thief, if Grandma catches him, I won't be satisfied even if I tear him into eight pieces."
"Alright, you've learned your lesson. Be more careful in the future."
A familiar voice reached him. Lin Feng opened his eyes and looked down. Good heavens, it was the Liu siblings again.
Fate!
Lin Feng was excited for the first time. These two people were lucky, easily encountering treasures, yet lacking in social experience. He could pick up quite a few bargains.
Why work hard when you can lie back and reap the rewards?
The Liu siblings grumbled as they sat under the tree to rest. They had fought a lot during their treasure hunt and had not yet fully recovered.
Lin Feng was also inwardly delighted. He didn't want to just fleece one sheep, but fate wouldn't allow it!
Just as Lin Feng was indulging in his fantasies, a sudden change occurred.
A giant monster, ten meters tall and about forty meters long, suddenly appeared before Liu Zheng Qing and his sister.
Its four legs stood like colossal pillars on the ground. Its ugly face was embedded with a giant horn, and on either side of the horn were a pair of basketball-sized, pitch-black eyes, filled with ferocity. Dozens of giant sword-like spikes stood upright on its massive body's back. A long tail dragged on the ground, and even its tail was adorned with two rows of giant sword-like spikes.
Liu Zheng Qing and Liu Yu Jiao's faces turned pale. They knew they couldn't defeat it in this state.
For such a long time, they hadn't encountered any exotic beasts, and they had thought this secret realm had none. They had become careless.
As Liu Zheng Qing and Liu Yu Jiao's expressions turned grim, Lin Feng's heart also tightened. He didn't know if the exotic beast had discovered him.
However?
Perhaps it was due to standing higher and seeing farther, but Lin Feng felt that the exotic beast's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
While Lin Feng was still pondering, Liu Zheng Qing and the others had already started fighting.
"Fireball spell!"
"Blazing Blade!"
The Liu siblings shouted and charged forward. The monster didn't even glance at them. With a sweep of its tail, the Liu siblings were sent flying.
Liu Zheng Qing's face was extremely ugly. Before he could catch his breath, another tail whipped towards him.
"No, we can't go on like this!"
Liu Zheng Qing gritted his teeth. "Yu Jiao, give me that jade talisman our ancestor bestowed upon you."
While the battle raged below, Lin Feng had already remembered what this exotic beast was.
There was no doubt about it; this exotic beast was what some powerful beings used to guard cave entrances – the Horned Raptor.
Lin Feng's gaze fixed intently on the exotic beast, his heart stirred.
A powerful being's dwelling?
He was in luck.
But how could he find the dwelling?
This was an endless plain. Apart from the tree he was hiding in, there was no sign of a dwelling anywhere else.
Wait, Lin Feng thought carefully again. He seemed to have discovered something unusual.
After all, there was no rule stating that a dwelling had to be a cave. An entrance within a large tree was also perfectly reasonable!
Liu Zheng Qing and Liu Yu Jiao could now be described as a terrible sight. Their hair was a mess, and their faces were bruised and swollen. If their clothes didn't have defensive capabilities, they would certainly be naked by now.
He couldn't just be defeated like this. Lin Feng was clear-headed. He hadn't found the cave entrance yet.
So, he applied a slowing talisman to the Horned Raptor.
Liu Zheng Qing and Liu Yu Jiao didn't know why the exotic beast's movements had slowed, but this was indeed a golden opportunity.
"Wind Thunder Sword Style."
"Thousand Jin Drop."
"Roar!" The Horned Raptor let out a furious roar. This attack was not light.
At this moment, Lin Feng discovered that the cave entrance was faintly appearing.
While it's down, strike to kill.
Liu Zheng Qing and Liu Yu Jiao launched another attack. The cave entrance widened a bit more.
It's big enough for me to enter!
Lin Feng used a Gale Talisman to blow the Liu siblings far away, and a Stasis Talisman to immobilize the Horned Raptor, although it might only hold for a few seconds.
With a swish, Lin Feng squeezed into the cave entrance.
