Beauty and the Bodyguard

"I'll take him away even if I die!" Health-maintenance Fei's face was filled with determination. Even so, his heart was already bleeding. If he couldn't even bring back such a bag, he would die of regret in this life.

"As you wish." Lin Yi didn't bother to persuade them anymore. If it was Leng Leng and the others, he wouldn't waste his breath and would've put them in the Jade space long ago. He could just make them into elixirs and split them later. Unfortunately, it was a waste of health. He was already being kind by reminding them. After all, they were far from being on his side.

Seeing Lin Yi's expression, health-maintenance Fei couldn't help but feel nervous. He asked carefully,"Senior, you won't abandon me, right?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yi looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. With their relationship, strictly speaking, saving his life just now was already very kind of him. If this guy really became a burden, no normal person would be able to protect him anymore, and Lin Yi was no exception.

"Ugh ..." Health-maintenance Fei looked at his big bag of elixirs, troubled. He knew that even if Lin Yi didn't want him to die on his own, he wouldn't waste too much energy on him. He wouldn't take risks for him either. If something happened, he had to ensure that he could escape and survive, or he would die.

However, he couldn't just throw away all these rare spirit herbs, right? Health-maintenance Fei struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and poured out the whole bag of rare spirit herbs.

This guy had some courage! Lin Yi looked at him in a new light-for someone of his level to be able to get such a big bag of rare medicine was like a normal person in the common world giving up a billion-dollar prize. It required a lot of courage and awareness, and it was rare.

But before Lin Yi could praise him, health-maintenance Fei took out a small bag and put away the herbs he thought were the most valuable. He didn't give up on the rest and put them back in the big bag.

Lin Yi didn't know what to say-he'd already seen through this guy's plan. There was a saying that people would die for wealth, and birds would die for food-it was true.

"Senior, you don't mind, right?" Health-maintenance Fei smiled embarrassedly. His plan was very simple. If there was no particularly dangerous accident, he would carry all of them back. But if the situation was critical, he would abandon the big bag and keep the small bag. No matter what, he couldn't enter a Treasure Mountain and return empty-handed, so he might as well let him die.

"I don't mind. Of course, you should make your own decisions. Besides, you're so smart." Lin Yi said playfully.

"Senior, you must be joking ..." Health-maintenance Fei's face reddened, but since Lin Yi didn't say anything, he wouldn't give up. It was still the same-there were a lot of spiritual jades.

The two of them continued forward, and not long after, a River appeared in front of them. The river was seven or eight meters wide, and at first glance, it looked calm. The river water flowed slowly and was so clear that the bottom could be seen. It revealed an indescribable cool aura, making people feel refreshed.

"A river of consciousness?!" Health-maintenance Fei was overjoyed to see this. The most important thing in the entire archaic trial grounds was the river of consciousness. This was also his main purpose in participating in the archaic trial grounds. Now that he suddenly saw a River with a mysterious aura, he subconsciously thought it was a river of consciousness.

Lin Yi shook his head. The river in front of him wasn't a normal River, but it was too farfetched to call it the legendary river of consciousness. After all, no matter the geographical location or the descriptions, rivers of consciousness were far from this.

It was strange that there was such a clear river in such an unfathomably deep underground place that looked no different from the river on the surface.

However, health-maintenance Fei couldn't care less. He hurriedly rushed over and carefully put the two bags of elixirs to the side. Then, he reached out to scoop some water from the river. The water of the river of consciousness could greatly enhance one's spiritual sense. This was a common saying in almost all the legends of the river of consciousness, and the most direct way to use it was to drink it into one's stomach.

If it was someone like Leng Leng, Lin Yi would've stopped them for sure-he'd have to figure out the river's background first, but since it was health Fei, he didn't have anything to say. He wasn't that familiar with him anyway, and he shouldn't disturb his excitement. Besides, it shouldn't be that dangerous to just drink some water ...

As a result, just as health-maintenance Fei's hand reached into the water, before he could scoop up the water, a hand covered with fine scales suddenly stretched out of the clear river and grabbed him. With a howl, health-maintenance Fei was dragged down on the spot, and he couldn't even struggle!

Not only was Fei Yangwei scared out of his wits, but even Lin Yi was taken aback. His spirit sense was constantly scanning his surroundings, and he didn't notice that there was such a monster hiding in the river!

Even a powerful existence like the brain-eating insect couldn't hide from Lin Yi's spirit sense. After all, he was a xuansheng stage spirit. The river was only ten steps away from Lin Yi, and he didn't even notice that a monster was right under his nose. Just thinking about it made Lin Yi break out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, this was health maintenance, otherwise, if it was any one of Leng Leng's group that got into this, Lin Yi would blame himself to death.

After health-maintenance Fei was dragged down, in the blink of an eye, the surface of the river returned to its previous calm. The naked eye could not see any clues at all, and it was still so clear that the bottom could be seen. There was no trace of the monster or health-maintenance Fei, giving people the feeling that nothing had happened.

"You do have some skills, but is it appropriate to play tricks in front of me?" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed into a thin line as he slowly walked towards the river. The river gave him a strange feeling from the beginning, and he now understood the source of the strange feeling-it was from the monster.

Soon, Lin Yi stopped at the spot where Fei Liangyang had gotten into trouble. He looked at the bottom of the river quietly. He couldn't see anything wrong, but his spirit sense sensed something. The monster might be able to hide his traces perfectly, but it dragged Fei Liangyang down with it. It was too difficult to hide Fei Liangyang flawlessly in front of Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi didn't move! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
