Beauty and the Bodyguard

"With the infant ginseng's performance just now, for a Jindan stage expert, even for a Jindan Paragon, it would be very difficult to kill it, right? This infant ginseng's strength, is it already comparable to a Yuanying expert?" Huang xiaotao blinked.

After all, the combined strength of two early golden core stage cultivators like Lin Yi and her was comparable to an original infant stage cultivator-there was probably only one other sect in the world that could do this. Other normal golden core stage cultivators wouldn't be able to do this.

"Comparable to the original infant stage? That shouldn't be the case. I think he's only at the peak of the late Aurous core stage!" Lin Yi said after some thought.

If this infant ginseng was comparable to a master of the original infant stage, he and Huang xiaotao's wild fire Eight Trigrams palm could at most defeat it, but not kill it so easily.

But even so, this was already very exaggerated. It should be known that many of the people who went to great lengths to find the baby ginseng were jiedan stage Masters. In order to prepare to condense the Yuanying, they still lacked a jiedan. With the strength of the peak of the late jiedan stage, plus this fog that isolated the divine sense, it was enough to make them suffer a lot.

As the two were talking, Lin Yi suddenly realized that the fog around him was dissipating faster and faster after he got the baby ginseng. At this rate, it would all be gone in less than half an incense's time.

"Not good, we can't stay here for long. If we stay too long, we might attract trouble. We have to leave quickly." Lin Yi suddenly became alert and quickly put the baby ginseng back into the Jade. At the same time, he pulled Huang xiaotao's hand and prepared to leave.

One thing was for sure now-the mist was the baby ginseng's protection. Now that the baby ginseng was dead, the mist disappeared on its own. This wasn't good for Lin Yi and Lin Yi, who had obtained the treasure. In a sense, the mist could protect the baby ginseng and the two of them at the same time.

Now that the fog had dissipated and the baby ginseng's medicinal fragrance was so strong, if any cultivators passed by, they would most likely be attracted over. It was clear at a glance that an ordinary man's possession of a Jade was a crime, and that would be troublesome.

"Yes." Huang xiaotao didn't dare to delay and nodded repeatedly. She had been doing trial missions for so many years and was very familiar with these things. She immediately followed Lin Yi.

However, before the two of them could take a few steps, a bone-chilling laugh suddenly came from above them. All the Carrion Crows that had gathered within a radius of dozens of miles were instantly frightened away, which was really creepy.

Lin Yi was shocked and quickly protected Huang xiaotao behind him. He couldn't help but secretly regret it. He got the baby ginseng by accident and got carried away. Otherwise, with his always cautious style, he would've left after taking it. Why would he stay with Huang xiaotao in this troublesome place?

But, other than being a little too excited, the mist hadn't completely dispersed yet, and if it were someone else, they wouldn't be in a rush to leave. Lin Yi's reaction was normal, at most a little careless.

A figure descended from the sky with a creepy laugh. Lin Yi raised his head to look, and his heart skipped a beat!

This person actually descended from a height of several hundred feet. The grey clothes on his body seemed to be specially made. As his four limbs stretched out, they were like bat wings. He could glide in the air and even change directions agilely, shuttling quickly between the dense forests.

"Ah!" "What?" Huang xiaotao cried out in surprise. At first glance, this person looked like a giant gray-skinned bat. When she saw the baby ginseng transform into a golden figurine, she thought that it was also not a human, but a spirit beast in human form.

Lin Yi was shocked as well, but he wasn't shocked by the fact that this guy was a beast or a human. He was shocked by the fact that this guy was diving down from a hundred meters high. Wasn't he afraid of the miasma? After all, the height of the miasma was only a few hundred feet!

Lin Yi was sure that this guy was a human, but there was no way a human practitioner could ignore the miasma. Even if he wasn't afraid of being poisoned, the miasma's effect on his perception was almost the same as the fog just now. He could clearly sense him and Huang xiaotao in the miasma, how strong was this person?

Before they could react, the man in gray landed not far away from them in the blink of an eye. Only then did they see his face clearly. He was a middle-aged man with a naturally sinister face.

This person's most prominent feature was his tall aquiline nose, a pair of small and bright eyes, accompanied by a cruel smile. He was clearly a human cultivator, but standing in front of him, he gave off a dangerous beast-like aura, making people feel creepy and tremble.

Lin Yi's heart sank-it wasn't because of the man's appearance, but because of his strength. He couldn't see through him, which meant that he was at least an original infant!

The enemy was right in front of them, and it was impossible to escape at this time. Putting aside the fact that this person was strong, just from the way he appeared, it could be seen that this person must be a speed-type master. It was impossible for Lin Yi to escape with Huang xiaotao.

Even if he could, he wouldn't risk exposing his back to a nascent Soul Master at such a close distance. It wasn't only unwise, it was also a taboo in the pugilistic world-it was no different from suicide.

"Haha, it really is the aura of the infant ginseng. This trip wasn't in vain!" The Man in Grey sniffed the medicinal scent in the air and his dark eyes landed on Lin Yi and Lin Yi. He grinned,"It seems that the infant ginseng should have fallen into your hands. Hehe, letting the other ants go to their deaths first, then sitting back and reaping the benefits, you guys are really good!"

"Who are you?" Lin Yi's heart sank. The fact that the man could say something like that meant that he had already noticed them. It was just that the man's strength was too high, so no one, including Lin Yi and Chu bubai, had noticed him.

At that thought, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel scared. At the same time, he roughly understood the reason why this person waited until now to make a move. Other than wanting to reap the benefits, the other reason should be the fog.

It was obvious that even the grey-robed man couldn't see through the fog that was covering the baby ginseng. Otherwise, he would've already taken the baby ginseng before the fog dissipated.

After all, the guy said "probably," which meant that he didn't know much about what happened after they entered the mist, especially when Lin Yi and Lin Yi worked together to kill the baby ginseng.
