Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It's very strong?" Lin Yi was taken aback-he'd never heard of an ancient monitor lizard before, but if even the brain-eating insect didn't dare to step into its territory, its strength was undeniable.

"It's indeed very strong. The ancient monitor lizard is recognized as one of the ten most terrifying spiritual beasts in the ancient Alliance. Legend has it that unless it's a nascent soul old monster, all human cultivators have to avoid it." Duanmu Yu spoke to support.

"It's fine if it's just powerful. In this place, apart from that Lord, the brain-eating insect and I are the most powerful. It's at most on par with us. There's another more important reason why no one is willing to provoke it. It has no brain." The water lotus clone chuckled.

"No brain?" Lin Yi looked at it.

"The most terrifying thing about the ancient monitor lizard is its saliva. It's almost the most terrifying and evil saliva in the world. Those with a weak physique will definitely die if they touch it. Even if they have a strong physique, they can only struggle on whilst at death's door and become a sickly ghost from then on. They can never think of becoming normal people again. Perhaps it's because of its own saliva that the ancient monitor lizard is a completely brainless lunatic. It can't communicate at all. Otherwise, it might be on equal footing with me and the brain-eating insect." The water lotus avatar said casually.

"So strange? Then all the more I should go and experience it. " Lin Yi made up his mind and turned to Duanmu Yu."Since miss Duanmu is going to the river of consciousness, then we'll part ways here."

The ancient monitor lizard was so terrifying that Lin Yi had to take the risk for Leng Leng's sake. Otherwise, even he wouldn't be willing to deal with this kind of thing. Duanmu Yu, on the other hand, was just a stranger and naturally wouldn't take the risk. He took the initiative to say this to give the other party a way out, so that they wouldn't be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Yu said,"we can go to the river of consciousness at any time. It's a rare opportunity to see the ancient monitor lizard. I would like to go with you. Brother Lin, you don't mind, right?"

Lin Yi looked at her deeply. He knew that Duanmu Yu wanted to use this opportunity to return the favor. After all, he was a great benefactor to her. He thought about it and smiled,"In that case, let's go together."

Lin Yi was just about to ask the water lotus clone to lead him to the ancient giant lizard's territory when Fei Yangsheng suddenly smiled,"That ... Senior, I'll only be a burden if I go with you. How about I don't go?"

"As you wish." Lin Yi waved his hand. Duanmu Yu might be able to help, but Fei Liusheng's strength was nothing against an existence like the ancient giant lizard. Not only would he not be of any help, but he would also drag Lin Yi down. Forcing him to follow was no different from sending him to his death, so it was better for him to stay.

"Yes, yes. Thank you for your understanding, senior. Have a safe journey." Fei Yangsheng was overjoyed. He was afraid that Lin Yi would want him to be cannon fodder, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so easy to talk to.

Although it was extremely dangerous for him to move alone in the dense forest with his strength, it was better to throw his life away in the territory of the primordial giant lizard. As long as he stayed behind and was careful not to think about any treasures, he should be able to keep his life.

Lin Yi couldn't be bothered to argue with a small fry like him. He let the water lotus clone lead the way and set off for the ancient monitor lizard's territory with Duanmu Yu. Fei Yangsheng studied the map Xin Yijie gave him for a long time before walking in the direction of the river of consciousness.

Moving alone, health-maintenance Fei was very careful with every step he took. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, he would immediately find a place to hide. Although doing this was a little too cautious, the advantage was that he wouldn't die easily. After all, safety first.

After an hour, health-maintenance Fei suddenly stopped, feeling that his surroundings were abnormally quiet. He didn't care whether there was danger or not, and quickly hid behind the trunk of a big tree.

His intuition was not wrong. A moment later, he sensed a powerful aura approaching from afar. However, it was not a spirit beast, but a snow sword.

At this moment, Xue Jianfeng had already shaken off Bing Wuqing and the immemorial giant lizard. As he passed by this area, he had a sudden thought, and in the next moment, he had appeared in front of Lord Fei. With Lord Fei's puny strength, it was simply a fool's dream for him to hide from his divine sense.

"Senior ... Senior brother Xue ... Oh no, senior uncle Xue!" Health-maintenance Fei was so shocked by him that he even stuttered.

"What are you doing here?" Xue Jianfeng said as he sized him up.

"Is it strange that I'm here?" Fei Yangsheng couldn't help but stare blankly. Everyone was going to the river of consciousness, and he was walking in this direction. Wasn't this normal?

"Of course it's strange. If I remember correctly, you should have been eaten by that plant spirit beast. Tell me, how did you escape?" Xue Jianfeng's eyes narrowed into slits.

"How ... How did you know?" Health-maintenance Fei was shocked. He had never seen a snow sword edge from the beginning to the end.

"Nonsense, the path you chose must have passed through the territory of that plant spirit beast. Even I had to exert tremendous effort to escape. With your puny strength, how could you have made it here alive?" Xue Jianfeng snorted.

"Could it be that you've also fought with protector water lotus?" Only then did health-maintenance Fei realize that Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng had set off earlier than him. From what Xue Jianfeng had said, he must have chosen the same path as him and Duanmu Yu. Furthermore, he had experienced some extremely dangerous situations, which was why he had such a question.

"Water lotus Protector?" Xue Jianfeng frowned and said to himself,""So that thing's true form is a water lily. How could it be a mere water lily when it can control so many powerful plants to besiege me at the same time?"

"So you've never seen its true form?" Health-maintenance Fei was taken aback again. He thought that Xue Jianfeng was going to fight the water lotus Protector directly like Lin Yi, but he didn't expect that he was only fighting the plants controlled by the water lotus Protector indirectly. He couldn't help but look down on him.

From the looks of it, Xue Jianfeng could only fight something like the Twin stem man-eating flower at most, but Lin Yi took down the water lotus Protector's body. The difference between the two was obvious.

It was true that Xue Jianfeng was a golden core stage master, a high and mighty existence that health-maintenance Fei could only look up to, but Lin Yi was a heaven-defying strong man who didn't care about the suppression of levels at all. Taking down protector Lotus was enough to explain everything, so there was no doubt that Lin Yi was stronger than Xue Jianfeng!

He wasn't on Lin Yi's side, but he was proud of it. Even in front of Xue Jianfeng, he had a strange sense of superiority. The mentality of a small figure like him was very subtle.
