Chapter 349 - 349: Green Mist Forest (1)
As Soul Realm Experts with developed spiritual senses, it didn't take them long to find the source of this voice.
It was a group of kids who were facing a Platinum Realm tiger beast. With their numbers, they should have easily been able to take care of a single beast, but it was too bad that these kids were all in the Gold Realm.
Even if they worked together, it was impossible for them to take this Platinum Realm tiger down, not to mention that two of them were already heavily injured. There was only one person who was facing down the tiger beast while the other two were tending to the two who were heavily injured.
Momonga turned to look at Lin Fan in this situation, waiting for his reaction.
He had seen that since Lin Fan recovered from the illusion, the split in Lin Fan's soul seemed like it was much better than before. He wanted to use this situation to see just how much it had improved by.
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "Let's go save them."
Momonga knitted his brows when he heard this and he replied, "Is there any point in saving them?"
Lin Fan surprised him by saying in a very casual voice, "We can get information from them if we save them since we know nothing about the upper realm. Moreover, we don't have to save them right away since they are not in any immediate danger, so we can see what kind of trump cards they are hiding to make it safer for ourselves."
Momonga's brows relaxed and he nodded when he heard this.
Lin Fan's words were correct, they didn't have a good understanding of the upper realm, so information was always good.
Momonga and Angela were from a much higher realm, so they never paid attention to a low realm like this and naturally had no information.
Lin Fan was from the lower realm, so he naturally didn't have access to information on the upper realm to begin with.
Wandering around this realm without proper information definitely was not a smart move, so if they had a chance to obtain information, they definitely should take it.
But Momonga was also able to see a trace of a different emotion in Lin Fan's eyes when he said that they should save them.
Still, it meant that the splitting of the soul was getting better and Lin Fan's mind wasn't as affected by it as before.
This could be considered taking a step forward.
After thinking this, Momonga gave a nod and they quickly headed off in the direction of the group.
Once they arrived, they saw that the tiger was slowly approaching the group of kids, but they didn't make a move yet since the kid that had been fighting the tiger was still standing strong.
That kid had his sword at the ready and he didn't look afraid, but it was clear that he was worried about his teammates.
The tiger slowly moved forward and tried to avoid the kid that was standing in front of it to reach the easy prey, but the kid wouldn't move out of the way. No matter how the tiger tried, the kid was surprisingly able to keep up with it the entire time.
Seeing that it had no other choice, there was a gust that suddenly gathered around the paws of the tiger, creating wind armour around it. Before anyone could react, the tiger suddenly slashed out with those paws, creating blades of wind that flew out at the kid in front of it.
When the kid saw this, he didn't panic at all.
There was a blue glow that suddenly appeared from his blade before he slashed out with his own blades of water that clashed against the blades of wind.
Both the blades of water and the blades of wind, when they clashed with each other, they suddenly canceled each other out. It created a large spray of water and a blast of wind in the surrounding area, falling over the kid and the tiger.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this since this was a simple application of laws, but this kid was only in the peak Gold Realm. If he was able to use laws in the Gold Realm, then he really did defy all logic.
But then Lin Fan noticed a pair of wings on the hilt of the kid's blade.
It seemed like his pet had combined with his weapon and it was the one that was supplying the water laws.
This was a pet that was in the Platinum Realm just like that tiger, so it could be understood why this kid was so confident, but their situation really wasn't good.
There were two of them that were heavily injured and the other two were only supporters that wouldn't help much during this fight since there was too much of a disparity in strength.
There was only this kid with his Platinum Realm pet that had a chance against this tiger, but it was too bad that this tiger was in the mid Platinum Realm and his pet was only in the low Platinum Realm. Even if the kid wanted it to be stronger, it couldn't be any stronger because it was being limited by the kid's cultivation.
It was clear that if they were in good condition, the group of kids would have been able to at least flee with the leader holding off the tiger, but it was impossible for them with their current condition.
The tiger slowly whittled down the leader of the group until he had suffered several wounds.
But as the tiger was about to bear down on them, there was a pure white dagger that suddenly flew through the air, aimed right at the head of the tiger.
Before the tiger could even react, the dagger had pierced straight through the top of its head, piercing through its brains. Then without any delay, the tiger crumpled right onto the ground. Even in death, the tiger didn't know what had happened to it.
The kids immediately looked around with their guards up.
This Green Mist Forest was considered a semi lawless place since it was quite remote. What happened here usually stayed here, so there were many instances of teams suddenly disappearing.
Lin Fan had a smile on his face when he saw this and he floated out saying, "Do you really think I would need to ambush you to kill you?"
Seeing him flying, they knew immediately that he was in the Soul Realm, so they let down their guards a bit. Lin Fan's words were true, if he really wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have bothered killing the tiger for them.
With a flick of his hand, the dagger came out of the head of the tiger and appeared back in Lin Fan's hand. When they saw this, they immediately let down their guard since this confirmed it.
The leader of the kids came forward with cupped hands and said, "Thank you senior for helping us. This lowly one's name is Xu Lin, may I ask what this senior's name is?"
Lin Fan just waved his hand and said, "You can just call me senior Lin."
Xu Lin nodded before turning back to head over to his teammates.
While it was important to show reverence to this senior that could kill them all, he was the leader of this team, so he also needed to take care of his teammates.
Lin Fan didn't mind since he liked someone like this, someone who took care of his own friends.
When Xu Lin saw the wounds on his two teammates, he deeply knitted his brows.
He knew that with these wounds, it would be hard for them to even survive, not to mention getting out of this forest. The worst part was that they hadn't even reached their goal yet before they suddenly ran into this Platinum Realm tiger.
Even if they had double the guts, they wouldn't dare take this Platinum Realm tiger from Lin Fan since he was the one who had killed it. Without him, they might not have even been able to survive.
Xu Lin wanted to ask Lin Fan for help with his teammates, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
If Lin Fan was able to escort them out, they would be able to survive, but in the end, they didn't know each other.
Lin Fan had already shown them kindness by saving them from the Platinum Realm tiger, but to ask him to escort them out...No matter how one looked at it, that was an excessive request.
The upper realm was a dog eat dog world and those that let their guard down would be eaten.
While Xu Lin was hesitating over what to do, Lin Fan just looked at him with a smile.
He could easily see through what Xu Lin was thinking, but he still didn't say a word.
He wanted to put the pressure on Xu Lin to make negotiations easier later.
The more pressure Xu Lin was under, the more likely he would agree to Lin Fan's request.
But of course, Lin Fan had his limits since this did involve human lives.
After waiting a few seconds, Lin Fan said, "It isn't impossible for me to help you, but there are conditions."
Xu Lin was shocked to hear this, but then he immediately said, "Senior Lin, please tell me your conditions."
Lin Fan revealed what he considered a bad smile as he said, "How about everything you have?"
