Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2212: Chapter 2213: Maze Formation

This is also the only solution available; given the current situation, they cannot act recklessly, and Lin Chen can only maintain his position in the face of changing conditions.

”It’s getting dark, let’s find a place to rest for a while.”

After a moment, Lin Chen said.

”Hmm.”

Sun Tianming nodded reluctantly. He had calmed down by now, and upon carefully considering Lin Chen’s words, he understood the implications clearly.

Even though he was anxious, Sun Tianming could only be patient.

...

As the day drew to a close, Lin Chen and Sun Tianming found themselves inside the cave previously occupied by the black bear.

The cave was quite spacious, providing ample room for the two of them without feeling cramped. From the top of the cave, small round holes eroded by time allowed the moonlight to seep through, casting fragmented rays that illuminated the scene within.

At this moment, Sun Tianming was sitting cross-legged, still trying his best to recover from his injuries. He had no idea when those people might return; all he could do now was to adjust his physical condition as best as he could to prepare for the tough battle ahead.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, was busy studying the ancient book he had obtained from the short man earlier.

The book detailed various formations in great detail, though they were relatively basic. It’s no surprise; otherwise, the formation used by that short man would have trapped Lin Chen for a while, rather than being easily broken.

Yet Lin Chen was reading with intense focus, as the formation used by Guo Zhi at that time was undoubtedly intricate. Just a few pieces of spiritual stones arranged could isolate the scenery, which was immensely tempting to Lin Chen.

If he could learn a thing or two, it would be a great advantage.

However, Lin Chen had never encountered these before, making the book seem rather obscure. He furrowed his brow, occasionally flipping a page, his eyes reflecting a thoughtful gleam from time to time.

Behind them, at the far end of the cave, lay the original black bear. Its strong body was now mottled with bruises. A careless move and a collision could make it howl in pain.

This cry caught Lin Chen’s attention. He turned around, and with just a single glance at the black bear, it immediately shut its mouth, daring not to make a sound, only letting out faint whimpers, as if crying, from between its claws.

It certainly didn’t dare to make loud noises anymore, knowing the injuries on its body were inflicted by Lin Chen. It seemed very aggrieved, huddling in a corner, covering its mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Chen was indifferent to this; his entire mind was absorbed in the formation book.

Although the formations described were simple, they might still manage to trap someone for a while.

Lin Chen pondered to himself. His goal was not to kill everyone from the Azure Dragon Association here but to rescue Chen Jie. This would reduce the pressure somewhat; as long as not all the key members came, Lin Chen was confident.

By the time Lin Chen finished reading the book, several hours had passed. He massaged his weary forehead. Even for him, expending so much effort inevitably led to fatigue.

But clearly, now was not the time to rest.

He stepped out, heading towards the outside. Though the formations in the book were few, there was one particularly useful for Lin Chen right now.

It was the confusion array.

As the name implies, the confusion array is designed to mislead people, but it’s not high-level, so it’s effective against ordinary people. If faced with someone skilled, they could easily detect it.

He could only hope now that it wasn’t someone like Tao Yuyu coming next.

He retrieved several spiritual stones from the ring—items previously owned by the short man, stored in the storage ring, now conveniently benefiting Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stepped forward, placing a spiritual stone with every step, until finally, he placed a particularly exquisite stone in the center.

Immediately, a thin mist rose, the images within swirling as if replicating the surrounding scenery, then reverting to normal in an instant.

Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that this formation was now completed.

This formation was quite rudimentary, naturally not matching up to Guo Zhi’s. Especially with the protrusion of the large stone in the center, which served as the formation’s core.

Guo Zhi’s formation, however, didn’t have this. Just this difference was enough to highlight the disparity.

Once the core is found and destroyed, the previous connection is lost, and the formation would naturally crumble. But Guo Zhi’s seemed much harder to dismantle.

The formation covered only a small area, just over a dozen meters, close to where the storage ring was deeply embedded in the cliff wall, thrown by Chen Jie.

Anyone trying to retrieve it with clear intent would naturally be troubled by the formation, giving Lin Chen a chance to rescue Chen Jie.

”Hopefully, she still has the teleportation talisman on her by then...”

Lin Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve; it was indeed a taxing task. What he could do now was already done, and he had to place his hope on Chen Jie. Only then would there be hope for Lin Chen and the others to escape safely.

After doing all this, Lin Chen turned back into the cave.

Inside, the black bear had begun to snore lightly, and Sun Tianming was surrounded by a glow, trying his best to regain his strength.

Lin Chen sighed lightly, then sat down in a spot, tossing into his mouth a pill to help him recover his spiritual energy, dispelling the fatigue of his spirit.

In such a situation, time flew quickly.

The moon set and the sun rose, and the blazing sun emerged from the distant mountains, casting its warm light over the dense forest, bringing a touch of vitality.

At this moment, Lin Chen slightly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

In just half a night, he hadn’t fully regained his strength, but his spirit was much improved.

He glanced sideways, and not far away, Sun Tianming also opened his eyes. As they exchanged glances, they could both see the gravity in each other’s eyes.

According to their estimation, unless something unexpected happened, Chen Jie and the others would likely return today.

Sure enough, not long after, a clamor arose from the slope in the distance.
