Xiao Chen refined the Unique Dragon Crystal, and the profound Dragon Yuan almost all seeped into the Shangqiu accupoint in his right leg, while only a small amount of Dragon Energy healed his wounded body, which significantly improved his injuries.
Zhao Lin'er had not appeared for three days, but she would certainly not give up this opportunity to kill Xiao Chen. What's at stake for her and Xiao Chen is time, and the Thunderbolt Strike might come at any moment.
Xiao Chen urgently needed time to recover from his injuries. Over these few days, he had been continuously meditating in the Primitive Forest.
The island he was on was incredibly mysterious. He had discovered many traces of enormous creatures in the periphery of the Overlord Dragon Territory. There were several Primordial Ancient Beasts, for example: A Divine Leopard that could tear apart a massive elephant, an Ancient Giant Crocodile that was about twenty meters long, a Golden Giant Centipede as thick as a bowl... He even heard dragons roaring from deep within the island, they definitely weren't the Evil Octopus Dragon or the Ancient Overlord Dragon, but an unknown type of dragon!
Plant spiritual energy flowed like a soft stream. A green light glowed in the forest, surrounding Xiao Chen in a misty sea of spiritual energy, a haze of green brilliance enveloping his body. Streams of pure plant essence flowed into him, and his wounded body was constantly moistened by the soft green glow.
Another two days had passed, and Xiao Chen's physical condition had improved a lot. He decided to have a look at what Zhao Lin'er was doing. There was no way she would change her intention to kill him, therefore he considered it necessary to investigate since her next move could be a fatal one.
Avoiding the frequently visited areas of the Overlord Dragon, Xiao Chen passed through the dense Primitive Old Forest, evading the ferocious Otherworldly Beasts, and finally returned to the edge of the island near the Bamboo House he built.
A small lake, clear as sapphire, reflected the blue sky and white clouds clearly. Vines and multicolored flowers bloomed in clusters all around. The fragrance of the flowers filled the entire forest.
The Bamboo House was verdant and lush green, with some vines and flowers used as decorations. A silk scarf was hanging on the vine in front of the house, gently swaying with the breeze.
Xiao Chen's Bamboo House had now become Zhao Lin'er's residence, truly a literal war trophy.
However, Xiao Chen didn't see Zhao Lin'er's figure. He began to circle around the area and his pupils suddenly contracted. A hundred meters from the edge of the lake deep within the dense forest, there were five newly built Bamboo Houses, and he saw a stranger!
A young man with a tall figure, about twenty years old. He had brown hair and extremely fair skin. However, his eyes were a bit gloomy, and he wasn't exactly the friendly type.
Who was this?
Xiao Chen stood silently in the dense forest, staring at the brown-haired man.
Not long after, a flock of seagulls soared from the direction of the sea and two figures, a man and a woman, passed through the jungle, walking fast toward him. They looked to be in their twenties, with light brown hair, wearing clothing identical to that of the man in front of the Bamboo House. They saluted the brown-haired man.
The brown-haired young man waved his hand and signaled them to rise, then asked, "Has there been any trace of them yet?"
"No, Sir. There are no boats on the sea."
Furrowing his eyebrows, the brown-haired man said: "The Forbidden Sea has unexpectedly calmed down. With no mysterious power to obstruct us and presumably few dangers, why haven't they arrived yet? Did they encounter an Evil Dragon?" He then looked at the Bamboo House by the small lake, paused for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Such a stunning beauty... even a Unicorn Divine Beast follows her. She's as beautiful as an Angel..."
The male attendant standing by said: "Sir, if you fancy her, why not..."
"Hmph!" The brown-haired man huffed coldly, cutting off his words, and said, "You'd better keep your mouth shut! Once our reinforcements arrive, we'll just help her kill that foe. I've got my own plans."
In the dense forest, Xiao Chen silently stepped back.
Zhao Lin'er! When Xiao Chen thought of this name, beams of divine light shone from his eyes. She had now teamed up with people from the World of Longevity, determined to kill him.
Now, an unexpected powerful enemy had appeared. He sighed at the thought that beauty is indeed the most potent weapon. The exceptional beauty of Zhao Lin'er had persuaded this brown-haired man to support her.
He had two choices now, either flee deeper into the island immediately or take the initiative to strike first.
Being decisive, after a brief consideration, he decided to catch his enemies off guard and weaken their forces before their reinforcements arrived, saving him from an increasingly desperate and passive situation.
Xiao Chen carefully searched and observed the area near the newly built Bamboo Houses and discovered that there were three people hiding in the dark and guarding the security of the brown-haired man. Next, he found another three people with the same style of dressing in the coconut forest by the seashore. They were probably also the brown-haired man's attendants, as they were watching the sea from different directions, apparently waiting for reinforcements.
After observing multiple times around the edge of the island, Xiao Chen decided to start his attack!
The seaside coconut forest was dense and lush. Three men each held a position further than five hundred meters apart. Xiao Chen silently approached one of them in the dense forest. He was unarmed, but his prisoned body was the best weapon. A cold light surged, One Finger Seals Marquis! Blood splattered, Xiao Chen drew back swiftly, a brown-haired attendant's throat burst, and he fell to the ground.
There was no mercy. If he didn't kill, he would be killed. Only by acting decisively can he survive!
He started to approach the second target, but when he was about seven meters away, a ripe coconut "thud" fell onto the sandy ground, causing the attendant to turn his head and look. Xiao Chen immediately increased his speed to the limit, then leaped up, contorting his body in mid-air, sweeping the throat of his target.
All of this happened as fast as a flash of lightning. The attendant was alert, he did not panic because of the sudden situation and instinctively backed away, while protecting himself by blocking with both arms.
"Bang"
Xiao Chen's right leg was as heavy as a million catties, and instantly shattered the brown-haired attendant's arms. The severe pain distorted his face, but his consciousness was still clear and he shouted hurriedly: "Help…"
Xiao Chen's right palm shone brightly like a Heavenly Saber cutting through the void, accompanying a flash of glorious light, the head of the brown-haired attendant soared into the sky, bringing up a rain of blood, while Xiao Chen retreated.
The sound of the attendant's call for help dissipated in the roar of the sea waves. The headless corpse gushed out blood, falling onto the sandy ground, the smell of blood pervading the forest. Xiao Chen had already disappeared.
