Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2031: Chapter 2032: As Steady as a Forest

”No, it’s not your fault. I didn’t expect them to ambush us there. It should be my fault.” Lin Chen responded.

”So where should we go now?” Fang Xiaolian continued to ask.

”Let’s keep moving deeper into the mountains. It’s said that there are some divine essence fragments inside, finding them can enhance our power.” Lin Chen continued.

”Divine essence fragments? This is...”

”That’s right, it’s the ancient saints’ collective divine essence, all within the magical beast mountains, with some powerful beasts guarding them. I don’t know if we can find them, but we should try. It’s better than not trying at all, right?” Lin Chen continued.

”Yes... You’re right, Brother Chen. Then I’ll just stick with you.” Fang Xiaolian said with a smile.

About ten kilometers from the cave, outside a camp, Zhang Han was slapped by an old man.

”Who told you to alert them? Didn’t I already tell Bo Guang to carefully release the Shadow Pupil Technique?” the old man scolded.

”Captain, I... I’m sorry!”

Zhang Han immediately knelt down, not daring to resist.

In front of Zhang Han stood the old man, who was actually the leader of the Qinggang Mercenary Group, Shan Qiao.

Shan Qiao was now 95 years old, but because he practiced the Forbidden Technique ”Steady as a Forest,” he still looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. If he was at full power, he could even look like he was in his thirties or twenties, making him a monstrous figure.

”Captain Shan, it’s my fault. I didn’t manage Zhang Han well. If you’re going to punish someone, punish me!” Bo Guang also knelt in front of Shan Qiao.

”Both of you need to be punished! Come, give me your ten years of divine essence!” Shan Qiao sneered slightly.

At the same time, Shan Qiao handed them a Shearing Spirit Knife.

The blade of the Shearing Spirit Knife glowed red, as if devouring the user’s bloodline. It could extract one’s divine essence and transfer it to others, an ancient evil knife.

”Captain, spare me, spare me!” Zhang Han kept begging for mercy.

Bo Guang, on the other hand, had no choice and took the Shearing Spirit Knife, about to look at his arm, but was stopped by a red rope.

”Miao Miao, don’t...” Bo Guang saw Su Miaomiao blocking the Shearing Spirit Knife and tried to persuade her.

Su Miaomiao remained unconcerned and said, ”Captain Shan, stop taking it out on your own people. I, Su Miaomiao, will volunteer to capture that Lin family kid. If I don’t catch him within three days, you can have my twenty-two years of divine essence.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Shan became immediately excited.

”Are you serious?” Shan Qiao asked in surprise.

”I am willing to pledge the mercenary’s military warrant!” Su Miaomiao affirmed firmly.

The mercenary’s military warrant was an internal guarantee in the mercenary group, much like a military order in the army. If a task was not completed, it ended with suicide or unconditional acceptance of group punishment as a guarantee.

”Miao Miao! Don’t! You can’t do this!” Bo Guang hurried over to persuade her.

”Uncle Guang, you’ve already lost fifteen years of divine essence. Losing ten more years, even an ordinary person could be stronger than you. You wouldn’t survive in the magical beast mountains!” Su Miaomiao responded.

”But you can’t make the mercenary military warrant!” Bo Guang said, heartbroken.

In fact, Su Miaomiao was raised by Bo Guang, and although she wasn’t his biological daughter, she was dearer to him than a real daughter, so he naturally cared deeply for her.

”Bo Guang, what do you want to do? Your goddaughter wants to make a military warrant, and you’re stopping her?” Shan Qiao scolded.

”Captain, Miao Miao is young and ignorant. Please for the sake of...”

”Get out!” Shan Qiao kicked Bo Guang aside.

Su Miaomiao hurried to help Bo Guang up.

”Uncle Guang, don’t persuade me anymore. Bargaining with the demon king, we always lose.” Su Miaomiao responded.

Zhang Han on the side didn’t dare to say a word.

Although Zhang Han usually laughed and joked with Su Miaomiao, when facing Shan Qiao, he was timid and didn’t dare to make a sound.

”Then it’s settled! Su Miaomiao, I give you the Shearing Spirit Knife. With this knife, you can capture that kid outside and absorb his divine essence. Understood?” Shan Qiao continued to command.

”Then please treat Uncle Guang and that fool well, and don’t break your promise.”

Su Miaomiao finished speaking and took the Shearing Spirit Knife, heading outside.

As soon as she picked up the Shearing Spirit Knife, Su Miaomiao felt a lot of her Spiritual Power being absorbed, causing her some pain.

Back to Lin Chen and Fang Xiaolian, after staying in the cave for half a day, Lin Chen went out to patrol twice but didn’t find the Qinggang Mercenary Group members anymore.

”Maybe they’ve gone far. Let’s go!”

Lin Chen returned to the cave, asking Fang Xiaolian to leave with him.

”Brother Chen... I... I’m a little hungry. Can we stay here for another night and leave tomorrow?” Fang Xiaolian said.

Lin Chen felt a bit frustrated. He knew women could be troublesome, but he didn’t expect it to be this troublesome. Thinking of this, he hesitated a little.

”Uh... well... alright! I’ll go find some food, so stay here and don’t wander around! There are still quite a few magical beasts stronger than Spiritual God Rank One here. You’re no match for them.”

”I won’t go anywhere, don’t worry, Brother Chen!” Fang Xiaolian assured.

Then, Lin Chen went out to search for food.

As he walked outside, he found the red clad young girl from before battling a blue-eyed, red-tusked mountain boar.

He originally wanted to leave quickly because the red clad girl being there meant there would be other members of the Qinggang Mercenary Group, but he stopped because the girl was in a tough battle.
