The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: With this punch, he might die!

”Is everyone going to snatch it?”

Facing Carson Flores’s confusion, Lilianna Norman sneered, ”If it were the tenth day and we encountered more than ten of them, do you think they wouldn’t attack us?”

Carson Flores widened his eyes in surprise, ”I meant snatching the Lingzhi simultaneously to see who gets it first. You mean... they would directly rob us? They can really just rob people?”

”Otherwise, why would there be factions?”

Lilianna Norman retorted, ”When your Human Race explores the Secret Realm, don’t you also rob and even kill each other for treasures?”

Carson Flores admitted, ”Yes, the Great Sects of the Human Race indeed have no rules in the Secret Realm. All kinds of robbery and even murder for treasures do exist; it’s just about creating enmities.”

”I had just thought that the Secret Realm opened by the Demon Emperor aimed to let everyone improve, maybe it would be gentler, or perhaps some rules would be set to reduce the killings and losses.”

”Survival of the fittest, survival of the adaptable!”

Lilianna Norman’s gaze was cold, ”Ordinary humans wouldn’t kill each other directly for benefits, at least. But Demonic Beasts, for food, will directly hunt their targets. This natural instinct to kill for survival is innate and will not change even if they gain Spiritual Wisdom and take human form.”

”Of course, like people from the Azure Dragon Gate meeting us, they might not kill us, but they would definitely use their numbers to pressure us to hand over the Lingzhi. They didn’t do it before because it was just the beginning. They weren’t sure if we had harvested any, and secondly, they naturally focused on the giant beast in the cave first, but after severe casualties in the end, they had no choice.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Since killing and robbing are okay, then we can plan well when we return. It’s impossible to get rich just by relying on our luck in searching.”

”Good!”

The two continued towards the central area, occasionally targeted by fierce giant beasts. When this happened, Carson Flores would grab Lilianna Norman’s hand, use the Ground Shrinking Technique to increase their distance, and then they would delve into the forest, concealing themselves with overlaid Death Imprints to stealthily avoid the pursuing giant beasts.

Truly infallible!

The reason they dared not use the Ground Shrinking Technique more frequently was that it was too distinctive. Once recognized by someone, there would be trouble.

Carson Flores himself wasn’t very worried. Everyone had to wait until the Secret Realm’s door closed before they could leave. Nobody could leave midway. Once out, Carson Flores could simply flee. However, as the Demon Race Holy Maiden, Lilianna Norman couldn’t just wander the world with Carson Flores.

Carson Flores and Lilianna Norman became the most relaxed pair among all explorers, as if invisible and completely safe.

Five days passed in a blink, and the two had successively collected five Lingzhis, including one that was considered a top-tier Lingzhi, which would produce excellent effects when refined into a pill.

The sixth day.

The two continued pushing towards the central area, but the number of giant beasts greatly increased, slowing even Carson Flores who had some trump cards.

As they advanced, four people suddenly sprang out from the woods, positioning themselves around the two.

The four wore masks and nondescript black clothes, their eyes intensely focusing on Lilianna Norman.

”It is quite the fortune to encounter Her Highness alone here.”

Carson Flores looked around silently, a sudden thought crossing his mind that robbing while masked wasn’t a bad approach.

With so many people entering, once robbed or killed, even if you luckily escaped, you wouldn’t know the identity of the attackers.

Worth learning!

Lilianna Norman asked coldly, ”What do you want?”

Masked Man A laughed, ”Open your Space Ring and hand over all the Lingzhi. Then we will leave.”

Masked Man B quickly added, ”Don’t worry, we only want the Lingzhi, nothing else.”

Lilianna Norman sneered coldly, ”If you want it, try to take it with your abilities.”

Masked Man A laughed loudly, ”Once the fight starts, we won’t hold back. If limbs get severed, don’t blame us. And this Human Race slave of yours, not even reaching Hollow Void, might die from one punch!”

Carson Flores turned his head and looked at Masked Man A without a word.

Lilianna Norman coldly said, ”Then let’s see who dies.”

Seeing Lilianna Norman refusing to submit, Masked Man A waved his hand, ”Number two and three, take on the Saintess with me. Number four, kill the slave!”

The four masked men simultaneously revealed their magical treasures and charged at their respective targets.

Carson Flores swung his hand, and the Black Scorpion Tail Whip appeared before him, segments unfurling, its tip flashing a menacing cold light.

The one called Number Four wielded a Black Single Horn, thrusting it at Carson Flores.

Carson Flores didn’t move.

The Black Tortoise Barrier activated, enclosing him inside.

The Single Horn struck the Barrier, causing a fierce collision, but the Barrier trembled a few times without breaking.

The masked man was stunned.

What?

His attack had been blocked?
