Capítulo 1270: Chapter 1271: Two-Headed Serpent
The night is the best environment for sneak attacks, in the darkness to launch a hidden strike against the enemy, if done cleanly and neatly, it won’t be noticed. That’s why he’s pondering how to create an opportunity to take out Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan didn’t know his fellow disciples wanted to kill him, but he never trusted this group, so he wouldn’t let them easily succeed.
The dark forest was extremely quiet, walking inside it, apart from hearing their own footsteps, there was no other sound to be heard.
Having experienced a secret realm once, Lin Yifan was always alert, preventing a spirit beast ambush.
Ancient secret realms typically have spirit beasts alive inside, spirit beasts absorb spiritual energy from the secret realm for cultivation, after hundreds of thousands of years of tempering, their realm can be as formidable as any one among them. Without realm suppression, the spirit beast’s realm might be even higher, even comparable to their sect leader.
Thus, in the secret realm, one cannot relax, otherwise one might suffer losses.
Among the fellow disciples, none had secret realm experience, thus their alertness wasn’t very high.
Lin Yifan was constantly protecting Xiao Fang, preventing any accidents for Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang felt warm inside, with Lin Yifan beside her, she feared nothing.
After walking for a distance, the group seemed to hear a small commotion.
This commotion was the sound of grass moving, in the silent forest, grass moving implied possible presence of spirit beasts nearby.
High realm disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley had seen spirit beasts before, but they didn’t know there would be spirit beasts in the secret realm, so their vigilance wasn’t as high as Lin Yifan’s, thinking it was just ordinary animals.
Lin Yifan was tense all over, always ready to take Xiao Fang and fly away.
Xiao Fang had never seen Lin Yifan so nervous, so she curiously asked, “Yifan, what are you nervous about?”
“Shh! Don’t make noise!”
Lin Yifan asked Xiao Fang to be quiet because he needed to clearly hear the surroundings’ commotion to avoid missing the chance to dodge.
No one was wary enough to notice the approaching powerful spirit beast, only Lin Yifan alone realized the danger.
“Ssss! Ssss!”
A few seconds later, the sound grew louder, a fierce spirit beast rushed swiftly toward this area.
At this moment, Lin Yifan didn’t hesitate, immediately used Qinggong to take Xiao Fang flying onto a tree branch.
Everyone was amused by his exaggerated reaction, thought he was a coward, scared of even an animal.
“What a young hero, invincible in the same realm, scared of even an animal, truly laughable.”
“Coward, it’s unexpected he’s such a person, never seen him so cowardly before?”
“After all, he is a Divine Transformation Forth Realm Peak! What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Ah! Truly a pig, so afraid of death!”
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
Many people didn’t know Lin Yifan had already broken through the realm, they still thought he remained at Divine Transformation Forth Realm Peak.
Moreover, except for Xiao Fang and Du Yuze, everyone else laughed at Lin Yifan.
Qiu Yi laughed the most, because he finally saw Lin Yifan’s disgraceful side.
Laughing covered up the noise, many people didn’t notice the fierce spirit beast had already come near.
When they reacted, it was already too late.
Just saw a dozen meter long two-headed snake charging out of the grass, opening its bloody mouth, biting fiercely at the two people in front.
“Ah! Ah!”
Two screams echoed, a Divine Transformation Fourth Level Peak and a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage cultivator instantly met their untimely death.
Looking at this scene, everyone felt chilled; unexpectedly this poisonous snake was so terrifying, it could easily kill a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage cultivator, truly frightening.
They all retreated to the side, not daring to approach.
After calming down, everyone finally understood why Lin Yifan reacted so exaggeratedly earlier, turns out he had valid reasons.
Now looking at it, the fools were them; it was their ignorance that led to the untimely deaths of two fellow disciples.
“Ah! Got slapped in the face so quickly?”
“Brother Zheng and Brother Song died so tragically.”
“Since you knew there were spirit beasts in the secret realm, why not give a heads up?”
“Not considering fellow brotherhood at all.”
Many people felt angry at Lin Yifan for not notifying the approaching danger earlier, in their hearts they’ve already stopped considering Lin Yifan as a fellow disciple.
Hearing these idle words, Lin Yifan was disdainful.
Just seconds ago they mocked him as a fool and a coward, next moment they blame him for not notifying of danger earlier, such stinking attitude of fellow disciples he’d rather not have.
Xiao Fang was petrified, the two fellow disciples died horribly, bitten to death by the two-headed snake, their entire bodies turning black, like charcoal.
She felt grateful Lin Yifan acted swiftly earlier, saving her, otherwise the one losing her life might have been her; because her previous position was not far from where the two dead disciples were, just a body away.
“Yifan! How did you know a powerful spirit beast would appear here?” Xiao Fang urgently wanted to know the answer.
“Because of experience. The Beixuan Palace secret realm and this secret realm both belong to the world of ancient era super cultivation organizations, in Beixuan Palace there are many rare and odd spirit beasts, so I guessed there might be here too; turns out I wasn’t wrong.” Lin Yifan answered.
“I see.”
Xiao Fang suddenly understood why Lin Yifan could anticipate the approaching danger.
On the other hand, Du Yuze was furious, as the team leader he couldn’t just watch two fellow disciples die in vain, thus unsheathed his sword, struck a sharp sword qi, cutting the two-headed snake into two, ending its life.
The two-headed snake only had Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage strength, so it wasn’t a match for Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak Du Yuze.
That Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage disciple surnamed Song was killed without resistance because he was poisoned by venom, the two-headed snake couldn’t kill him by bite.
The two-headed snake appeared quickly but also died quickly, this is the world of the weak being killed by the strong, where the weak are only meant for being killed by the strong.
After this incident, no one dared to underestimate this secret realm anymore.
The secret realm is filled with dangers everywhere, even Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak cultivators cannot guarantee safety.
Northeast secret realm doesn’t restrict flying, so after repeated tests, Lin Yifan urged everyone to use Qinggong to fly out of this pitch-black forest, where one can’t see their hand in front.
Everyone had no objections, thus immediately used Qinggong to fly away.
Flying out of the forest, overlooking the earth, everyone found the entire secret realm was covered with a layer of silver gauze by the moonlight, fantastically beautiful.
Such a beautiful scene, it’s hard to imagine a murderous intent hidden everywhere.
Qiu Yi felt terrified, in terms of experience, he was not as rich as Lin Yifan, so it’s better to be a bit calm first, plan only after adapting to the secret realm environment.
Since flying is possible, then head straight to the secret realm center for treasure hunting.
There’s the largest city, treasures should be most numerous.
