Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2227: Chapter 2228: On the Road

After waiting for nearly another day, Sun Tianming finally woke up.

After another day of healing, Sun Tianming’s leg injury also recovered, but since the muscles and bones were newly healed, he couldn’t exert too much strength.

With this, they decided not to linger in this place any longer. After all, although this underground cave was safe, it was dim everywhere and exuded a sense of strangeness.

Their injuries had just healed, and staying here longer could possibly hinder their complete recovery.

This time, as they stepped out, Sun Tianming and Chen Jie didn’t harbor much doubt. After all, they had come down from here before, and they were already mentally prepared for the palace’s strangeness.

However, since Lin Chen was still in a coma earlier, when he saw the surroundings, he couldn’t help but squint slightly, showing a face full of astonishment.

”So it seems this must have been built by the previous Sect Master?”

Lin Chen, after listening to the explanations of Sun Tianming and Chen Jie, couldn’t help but frown, especially because Lu Qiming had been in the hall before, though he had disappeared. From the previous position, it seemed to belong to this palace.

But according to Zheng Chuanhai, it seemed the ancestor wasn’t Lu Qiming but that orb; such matters were inevitably strange.

Lin Chen inspected the orb he carried from the hall, pondering silently.

At this time, the orb had much less black aura. Although entirely dark, when held by Lin Chen, it only felt cold, and the originally evil negative emotions had disappeared.

”That should be the case, but Sect Master Lu has been deceased for nearly a hundred years, unable to verify. To find out the reason behind this, we’ll have to ask Father when we get out.”

Chen Jie shrugged, appearing helpless. She also felt these peculiarities, but with all the informed people now dead, the remaining person who might have known the inside story had long disappeared.

Only the three of them were left confused.

Thinking more was pointless, so Lin Chen had no choice but to give up. He firmly grasped the orb, waiting until they got out to ask Chen Lin about it.

...

Without further conversation, the group walked through the narrow passageway, unsure how much time passed before they exited.

When they pushed aside the weeds covering the cave entrance, the entire Spirit Realm was filled with scattered silver light, casting a faint silvery sheen over the originally lush green.

”Judging by the time, it will still be a few hours before dawn. Let’s find a place to rest a while longer, and then head toward the central area after dawn.”

Chen Jie made the plan. Their points were likely similar, so now they just had to wait for the gathering time, then head to the central platform of the Spirit Realm to move on to the next place.

”That works.”

Sun Tianming nodded first. His leg injury had just healed, and after such a long journey, it was slightly sore, causing him to hold his legs.

”Right now, people are likely gathering near the center; I don’t think there will be much danger in the periphery where we are.”

Lin Chen thought so. Tao Yuyu and the others didn’t come to this competition solely because of him, so it was reasonable for him to think this way now.

After exchanging opinions, the three found a spot in the woods to sit down, raising a small fire.

The warm glow illuminated the cold night, and after their experience in the gloomy cave, the warmth felt especially pleasant.

Though the three did not converse much, whenever two rested, the other one would stay awake, vigilantly ensuring safety in the woods.

Through fighting side by side for so long, they had developed a certain tacit understanding.

With nothing further spoken, the three of them rested in turns through the night, and gradually welcomed the dawn.

As the sunlight rose high, Lin Chen and the others stood up.

”Let’s go.”

With that word, the group started to move. Their movements weren’t quick because their injuries hadn’t fully healed, so they walked somewhat slowly.

”Where did Su Yan run off to this time?”

During the journey, Lin Chen was quite concerned about this matter. Ever since he woke up and tried to detect, Su Yan just seemed to have vanished, nowhere to be found within his mind’s landscape.

If it weren’t for the scars on his mind still carrying black aura, Lin Chen would have begun to question if the previous encounters had been his own illusions.

”This mountain wasn’t opened by me, nor was this tree planted by me, but if you want to pass here, leave your wooden token.”

Suddenly, as Lin Chen pondered, passing by a mountain stream, the gentle water hitting the rocks created a rhythmic sound, and with this sound, several figures leapt out from behind a high rock.

Four or five figures jumped in front of Lin Chen’s group, eyes wide and glaring angrily at Lin Chen and the others.

Their eyes involuntarily fell on the Storage Rings in their hands, looking quite tempted.

This situation caused Lin Chen and the others to glance at each other with a look of bewilderment.

This wasn’t because the group in front of them was too strong but because their strength was too weak. Among them, the highest cultivation level, as observed by Chen Jie, was only Spiritual Pill three layers.

This level of cultivation couldn’t even compare to Chen Jie, let alone Lin Chen; these people were likely not their opponents.

Faced with this, rather than feeling fear, they felt it somewhat amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.

”Big brother, do you think they are dumb...”

Among the figures, a man approached the leading figure and whispered.

”Dumb? Dumb is fine! Just take their things from them!”

The man glared fiercely and then shouted.

He was the one with the highest cultivation among them, yet even this was slightly inferior to Chen Jie’s. The reason he dared to act first was only because he sensed their unsteady auras, indicating potential injuries.

That pushed him to risk it all.

Fortune is sought amid danger, after all; it’s no different here.

”Let those fools wear themselves out, and then I’ll act to seize everything in one go.”

The man thought this with a sinister smile on his lips.

These people had only temporarily formed a band of robbers due to insufficient strength, with no camaraderie. The man used them as tools without any emotional burden.

But his smile had only just appeared, and in the next moment, his expression froze.

He initially assumed Chen Jie would be the most concerning, but Chen Jie showed no sign of taking action. It was Lin Chen who moved first.

Lin Chen didn’t use a sword but relied on his hands and feet. In a series of extremely swift and simple maneuvers, the attacking figures quickly fell to the ground.
