C14 Danger

"This time, I didn't listen to He Kongming's orders. After I enter the sect, go report to him. In the future, he will inevitably cause trouble for me. I must quickly find enough demon cores to cultivate, otherwise …"

The next morning, just as dawn broke and under the cover of the huge rocks, Li Chen stood up smartly. Although he was only fourteen years old, his heart, which had been oppressed for so many years, still felt a sense of crisis.

Even though He Kongming had always said that as long as Li Chen still went to his place to be a servant disciple after he had entered the sect, the cultivation resources he needed would definitely be more than what he would get from the outer sect.

However, he had been bullied ever since he was young. He was used to looking at people with the whites of his eyes. He had had enough of living under someone else's roof. Li Chen didn't want to go any further.

Putting away the leather pouch, he raised his head to determine the direction he should go before standing up and heading deeper into the cave.

It could be said that the depths of the Ancient Blue Mountain Range stretched for countless thousands of miles. It was a famous holy land of adventure in the State of Brilliance.

Although the Fallen Phoenix City was located at the edge of the Ancient Blue Mountain Range and seemed to have the regional advantage, it was merely an unremarkable small city.

Large cities that truly were connected from every direction and that had immense resources and power were all controlled by sects like the Profound Cloud Sect.

The so-called outer perimeter was extremely wide. From rank 1 to rank 3 beasts, there were countless of them.

Wherever Li Chen went, it would only be the outer perimeter.

Time flowed by like water. Soon, more than half a day had passed.

Although he had the support of inner breathing, the massive amount of exercise made this' monster 'with astonishing physical strength feel hungry. He took out the fox meat left over from last night from his backpack and heartily ate a few mouthfuls.

Suddenly, Li Chen's ears twitched a few times. He didn't hesitate to rush up the tree and put the fox meat into his backpack. Through the dense leaves, his bright eyes carefully scanned the area.

Whoosh!

A few undetectable figures carefully moved to a nearby bush and stuck their heads out, looking forward.

One of them kept wriggling his nose, his long, narrow eyes glinting coldly.

"Let's go!"

After scanning back and forth a few times, the person nodded to the two people beside him and took the lead to walk forward.

The three of them walked steadily, leaving no traces as they walked. Their bodies were faintly emitting auras and tight clothing, they were clearly experienced adventurers.

Within ten breaths, three adventurers had arrived at the ancient tree where Li Chen was hiding. They were discussing about the place where he had sat down to eat, trying to find him.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen's heart tightened.

When Old Li was still alive, he once told him that the most dangerous thing to take on in a treasure hunt in the Ancient Blue Mountain Range was not the omnipresent demon beasts, but the adventurers of the same kind.

It was obvious that these three adventurers had tracked him down to this place.

If not for Li Chen's incomparably strong physical body and his six senses, he would probably have been ambushed and attacked by these three adventurers.

Just as Li Chen was pondering, the three adventurers split up to search around the ancient tree, but they all came up empty-handed.

"Big brother, I think we can't find that person. Let's go!"

That roguish adventurer had an unlucky look on his face.

"Second brother, I …"

The other young adventurer was immediately somewhat unwilling.

"Ol 'Three, forget it, your second brother already said he couldn't find it. Let's go!"

The leader of the strong men grabbed him, and without a word, the three of them walked into the distance and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

With his clothes fluttering in the wind, Li Chen jumped down from the ancient tree. The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked in the direction where the three of them had gone. He took out some leftover fox meat from his backpack and started eating again.

Before long, the fox meat entered his stomach and he drank a few mouthfuls of cold water. He clapped his hands and shook his muscles a few times, wanting to continue moving forward.

"Whiz!"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose and a black light shot out at an incredible speed.

"What the hell is that?"

In that instant, the hairs on Li Chen's body stood up, and he immediately rolled on the ground.

"Chi!"

With the sound of the silk being torn apart, Li Chen felt a scorching heat rising from his shoulder blade, and a wave of coldness surging into his heart.

Being beaten up all year round, he naturally knew that it was the feeling of bleeding from an injury.

Without caring about anything else, he turned around and hid behind the ancient tree. He carefully stuck his head out to see who was ambushing him.

"Tut!"

Just as the crack was revealed, a grisly, muffled sound rang out. Li Chen felt the ancient tree tremble. What a precise archery skill.

"Ol 'Three, did you hit it?"

A slightly sinister voice rang out. It was the scoundrel from before.

"Second Brother, are you still not clear about my archery skills?"

It was Third Bro who was quite pleased with himself.

"I think that kid is very nimble. He could have detected us in advance and hid in a tree. It's best to be careful!"

It was from that big brother that the incomparably steady stream of emotions came.

"Boss, I can guarantee that this kid was hit by an arrow. Right now, the effect of the cartilage powder has already started to take effect. No matter how strong he is, he shouldn't be a warrior of the Fiery Gilt Steel rank, right?"

Three figures carefully passed through the bushes. The third brother had a complacent look on his face as he held a foot long crossbow in his hand.

When the three of them saw that there was a piece of torn cloth between the two arrows on the ancient tree trunk, along with traces of blood, their expressions finally eased up.

As the third brother had said, if the opponent was a warrior of the Rebirth Realm, how could he not get shot by an arrow?

Thinking of this, the three of them calmly walked around the ancient tree. However, as adventurers, due to their vigilance from licking blood from their wounds, they were still several feet away from the ancient tree, just in case something happened.

Under the ancient tree, Li Chen's face was pale and filled with pain. His entire body was trembling, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Haha, what did I say, boss?" "Let this fellow be as sly as a fox, he has fallen into our old hunter's trap."

Ol 'Three was proud of its size. It carried the crossbow behind it and directly went under the ancient tree to test out Li Chen's strength with a kick.

Tumbledown!

With a groan, the powerless Li Chen tumbled several meters away. His body was covered in grass, and he fell to the ground with his backpack.

Ol 'Three walked over, grabbed his backpack and began picking it up.

"Such a fledgling, yet she still dares to come to the Ancient Blue Mountain Range to take the risk. She's truly a reckless person!"

The boss coldly swept a glance at Li Chen's thin body.

"Brother, judging from his clothes, he seems to be an outer disciple of the Black Cloud Sect!"

Second brother's narrow eyes flashed as he said in surprise.

"What are you afraid of? This is a wilderness, kill him and dig a hole to bury him. Who would have known that we were the ones to do it? "

The boss was surprised, but he didn't seem to mind at all.

Hearing this, the second brother nodded.

"Boss, second brother, this kid is really capable. He found so many level one elixirs, and the quality is not bad either!"

Ol 'Three, who was checking his backpack, had a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

"Let me take a look?"

The boss' eyes lit up. He grabbed the backpack and checked it for a bit before immediately grinning, "Seeing that this kid gave us so much spiritual medicine, we'll give him a quick death!"

"Alright, boss, let me do it!"

Ol 'Three sinisterly took out a shining dagger from his waist, bent over and stabbed at Li Chen's chest.
