Chapter 1058: Chapter 1030: Unexpected Gains, Celestial Pearl Fragment ⑤

Ten minutes before Sikong Tingzhi encountered the Shadow Beast...

In a flickering forest, Lin Yi sat under a tree, seemingly in a daze, but in reality, Lin Yi was checking the virtual interface in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Yi already had dozens of Storage Rings of varying quality in his hand, and the various ’trash’ inside was a bewildering array.

Originally, Lin Yi collected their rings just to avoid suffering losses, merely taking some protection fees.

Unexpectedly, he found a [Celestial Pearl Fragment⑤] in one of the rings.

This was somewhat dramatic indeed.

Although still unaware of what gathering the Celestial Pearl Fragments would do, Lin Yi had unknowingly obtained ’①, ②, and ④’ among them.

Now, with this Fragment ⑤, it meant Lin Yi already possessed five of the fragments.

This result was somewhat causing Lin Yi to exclaim: Perhaps the ’protagonist halo’ has been triggered.

Because of this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but examine each of the dozens of Storage Rings in his hand.

Wondering if he could find the remaining two fragments among them.

While Lin Yi was ’daydreaming,’ Wen Xu and the others had already started eating the fragrant roasted meat with Lin Yi’s approval.

Wen Xu sat by the campfire, eating, while still expressing his amazement:

"Didn’t expect to eat such a meal in my lifetime."

"It’s so delicious."

Thinking back to the experiences of the past half-day, Wen Xu still felt some lingering fear:

"It’s great to be alive."

The people next to him heard this and echoed:

"Yes!"

"I thought I’d end up here in this lifetime."

"Didn’t expect to meet the Jialan King."

As they spoke, everyone instinctively looked at Lin Yi, who was sitting by the tree in a daze, and the person continued:

"Thinking about it now."

"Exchanging some external possessions for some food, even for one’s life, is truly worth it."

"Yes! Who wouldn’t agree?"

"At first, I was reluctant. You know, that’s the spiritual artifact my family gave me."

"But considering the Jialan King has so many Sacred Artifacts, how could he care about my trash?"

"The reason the Jialan King accepted our belongings is probably to make us feel better."

At this moment, everyone’s perception of Lin Yi had changed from initial disdain to deep admiration.

One person said:

"If we can return this time, I’ll definitely tell my clan."

"Never become enemies with the Jialan King in this lifetime."

"Before, we thought about joining forces against the Jialan King, but now it seems laughable."

"Me too."

"I hope to never be the Jialan King’s enemy in this lifetime; otherwise, it would be terrifying."

While everyone was quietly discussing, the Golden Behemoth, sitting to one side, suddenly let out a low roar:

"Roar~"

Upon seeing the Golden Behemoth’s reaction, almost everyone’s expression changed simultaneously.

Everyone immediately dropped the food in their hands and stood to look around:

"Is there a demon coming?"

After this period of rest and the food replenishment, everyone no longer showed signs of fatigue.

Facing the imminent battle, no one had the previous expression of fear anymore.

However, after waiting for a while and seeing no movement around, Wen Xu turned to Lin Yi, as if asking something.

Awakened by the Behemoth’s roar, Lin Yi effortlessly tossed the handful of Storage Rings into his backpack, planning to check them later when he had time.

Then Lin Yi looked at the Behemoth and said:

"What’s up, Little Black?"

The Golden Behemoth used its cumbersome palm to point in a direction:

"Something is approaching here."

Everyone was no longer surprised about the Golden Behemoth speaking.

Upon hearing the Golden Behemoth say something is approaching, everyone instantly became highly alert.

However, the Golden Behemoth suddenly said:

"Many people."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts shook: Are there other teams here?

Instantly, everyone met eyes with Lin Yi.

In the experiences of the past half-day, they had deeply understood the harshness here.

Now in this place, besides the people in front of them, they would never easily trust anyone else.

Because in such anxious times, people’s hearts became harder to fathom.

Before clarifying the intentions and attitudes of the newcomers, no one wanted to risk contacting this unclear team.

But the final decision rested with this Jialan King.

Lin Yi suddenly asked the Behemoth:

"Little Black, did you see if they fought?"

In terms of perception, the Golden Behemoth had its unique advantages.

When Lin Yi felt that a demon was vaguely approaching, the Golden Behemoth could already clearly sense;

"Yes, they are already fighting."

"But those people seem to not be opponents of that thing."

Then asked Lin Yi:

"Master, should we go to help?"

Help or not?

Lin Yi pondered, unsure which team it might be.

As Lin Yi walked to the campfire, the remaining over thirty people instinctively stood behind Lin Yi, showing their allegiance to him.

This scene was utterly astonishing to the nearby ladies.

Unknowingly.

These once arrogant prodigies were now subconsciously recognizing Lin Yi as the backbone of this team.

This fact was particularly glaring to Regill.

Wen Xu looked at Lin Yi with fiery eyes and said:

"Your Highness, what do you say next."

"We brothers will all follow you."

After contemplating briefly, Lin Yi said:

"I’ll go check the situation first."

Then Lin Yi looked at the determined prodigies behind him:

"Follow the Behemoth."

Then Lin Yi looked at Ling Yuwei and said:

"Your strength is the lowest here, be careful not to leave Behemoth’s side."

At this moment, Wen Xu suddenly volunteered:

"Rest assured, Jialan King."

"I will protect Miss Ling, unless I die."

Lin Yi looked unexpectedly at Wen Xu, then smiled and said:

"Thank you very much."

Wen Xu responded with surprise and excitement:

"It’s no bother, it’s my honor to alleviate worries for Jialan King."

Only at this moment did Lin Yi develop a slight fondness for this flattering fellow before him.

After all, Ling Yuwei came here because of him.

In reason and sentiment, Lin Yi must ensure her safety.

Otherwise, not only would this be unjustifiable to Ling Yudao, but he couldn’t reconcile with himself.

Ling Yuwei also understood the current situation.

Her originally strong-willed nature meant at this moment she had to choose silence to not hold Lin Yi back.

Finally, Lin Yi said to everyone:

"Follow the Behemoth, it will guide you."

Everyone responded in unison:

"Understood!"

At this moment, their hearts mysteriously united, thanks to a meal of roasted meat.

Just then, the Golden Behemoth suddenly bent down and lifted Lin Yi.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, the Golden Behemoth threw Lin Yi into the distance, throwing him out!!!

As Lin Yi vanished into the night, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

But then, the Golden Behemoth abruptly started moving in that direction:

"Boom boom boom~"

Like a heavy truck, directly carving out a road in the zigzag forest.

On the other side, after being thrown out, Lin Yi immediately activated:

"Flight Mode"

Two pairs of holy feather wings unfolded instantly from Lin Yi’s back.

After gliding a short distance in the air, Lin Yi silently landed on the trunk of an ancient tree.

Before Lin Yi could steady himself, a voice from below shouted:

"Mighty young master Sikong!"

Young master Sikong?

Upon hearing this name, an image of Sikong Tingzhi immediately surfaced in Lin Yi’s mind:

"It’s him!"
