Chapter 1379 1477 The White Chubby Baby
Chapter 1379: Chapter 1477: The White Chubby Baby Chapter 1379: Chapter 1477: The White Chubby Baby Fang Lin’s mouth twitched, Old Pickle was still the same, always talking nonsense. But looking at its condition, nothing seemed to have happened during this period; it was still full of life and vigor.
“Kid, how come I haven’t seen you for a while and you’re all fiery?” Is it because you’re inflamed? But that’s not surprising; being young and vigorous, just keep two or three women by your side and you’ll be fine. That Miss Dugu is quite nice, did she come with you?” Old Dried Corpse looked at Fang Lin surrounded by flames and couldn’t help but say, the more he talked, the sleazier his expression became.
Fang Lin curled his lips, “Stop talking nonsense and come over here.”
The thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng laughed loudly, “I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t bother with you, kid.”
Saying that, and seeing impatience appear on Fang Lin’s face, the Corpse Ginseng obediently flew over to him.
“Cough cough, just kidding, don’t take it seriously,” the Corpse Ginseng said, repeatedly trying to appease him with a smile.
Fang Lin didn’t care about any of that; he grabbed the guy and stuffed him into the Nine Palace Bag. Only then did he truly let out a sigh of relief.
Fang Lin’s chief purpose for this trip was to retrieve the Corpse Ginseng, and now that goal had finally been achieved.
Counting the days, several months had passed since Fang Lin had entered the Seven-layer Array of The Forest of Mist; the outside world must have seen many changes.
Now that he had the Corpse Ginseng, Fang Lin really wanted to leave this place immediately.
The man in the black robe, seeing the Corpse Ginseng end up in Fang Lin’s hands, had an unsightly expression, but he remained calm, for he was merely curious about the Corpse Ginseng and wanted to know what kind of being it truly was.
With the Corpse Ginseng in hand, Fang Lin did not let the Demon Puppet continue attacking the man in the black robe. The Demon Puppet instantly returned to Fang Lin’s side, its Demonic Qi slightly disheveled, indicating that the previous battle with the man in the black robe was anything but easy.
Of course, the man in the black robe wasn’t faring much better either, still breathing heavily with a somewhat pale face.
If it came down to raw power, the man in the black robe was just a bit weaker than the Demon Puppet, but the gap wasn’t large, and the bronze Longsword in his hand more than made up for that difference.
Suddenly, the situation became somewhat delicate.
Because the array had almost collapsed just now, the chubby baby guardian didn’t make a move against anyone anymore and just stood there with a cold look, watching over everyone including Fang Lin.
The man in the black robe, sword in hand, was breathing somewhat rapidly, his breathing slowly steadying; he was one of the Great Longevity beings, arguably the most threatening person here, but he seemed to pay more attention to Fang Lin, always keeping his eyes on him.
Zhong Wuwei came to Fang Lin, who nodded slightly to him.
This divided the scene into three parties: Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei on one side, the guardian on another, and the man in the black robe as a third.
However, everyone present was well aware that a Little Baldie was also within the array, just that he had not gotten involved in the current situation.
At this moment, the most frustrated was not the man in the black robe; rather, it was the guardian.
The chubby baby watched the others, feeling extremely uncomfortable, being the guardian here, he ought to have the biggest advantage, yet now he felt powerless to affect the situation.
Although he could absorb Earth Qi, he knew he was no match for the man in the black robe, nor for Fang Lin’s Demon Puppet.
And as for settling for less, trying to get rid of Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei also seemed quite unlikely.
Zhong Wuwei was in the Minor Longevity realm, highly skilled, and with the Beast Heaven Cauldron in hand, he was more than capable of defending himself.
Fang Lin goes without saying; he had just had an intense battle with the guardian without a winner.
In this case, for the chubby baby, to eliminate anyone seemed extremely difficult.
Instead, the Little Baldie, who was far from here, seemed a bit easier to handle.
But in the eyes of the chubby baby, dealing with that Little Baldie was just a task to be done along the way; the real big fish were the people here.
“I think I just saw The Ancient Lamp of Flame God,” the man in the black robe suddenly spoke out of the blue.
Fang Lin smiled slightly; The Ancient Lamp of Flame God was inside his body, fully integrated.
“Are you from ancient times?” Fang Lin didn’t directly answer but asked instead.
The man in the black robe revealed a surprised look, saying, “How do you know?”
“I can tell, and this sword you’re carrying seems rather special, too. Where did you get it?” Fang Lin said softly, his tone carrying deeper meaning.
The man in the black robe frowned, “You seem to know quite a lot.”
“Just guessing,” Fang Lin replied, “I’m curious about your identity. How about we make a deal?”
“Oh? What are you proposing?” The man in the black robe also smiled.
“We could say that we’ve got to know each other through a fight and have no real enmity between us, so how about we capture this guardian together, then make him disclose the location of the Array Eye and proceed to the next array together?” Fang Lin suggested, glancing at the chubby baby.
As soon as these words were spoken, the chubby baby became alert, staring at Fang Lin with dead-set eyes and also highly wary of the man in the black robe.
After all, the man in the black robe possessed the cultivation of the Great Longevity, his strength was incredibly formidable; if he really intended to attack, the chubby baby thought that even if he fought with all his might, he would probably find it very difficult to withstand the attack.
Moreover, in the eyes of the chubby baby, both Fang Lin and the man in the black robe were outsiders. To him, these outsiders, regardless of their level of cultivation, were no different; they were all his enemies.
When enemies joined forces, the most disadvantaged would inevitably be the guardian.
“That suggestion’s not bad,” Zhong Wuwei said with a laugh.
The man in the black robe didn’t show any reaction, “Even without teaming up with you, I can come and go freely here by myself.”
“Sure, you’re in the Great Longevity realm; no one can stop you. But no matter how powerful you are, if you can’t find the Array Eye, you can’t leave this place. Unless, of course, you want to overturn everything here with brute force, but then who can guarantee what will happen next?” Fang Lin said.
“What I want to say is that I already know where the Array Eye is, and I have no need to team up with you. On the contrary, I think you will be trouble that should be taken care of sooner rather than later,” the man in the black robe said with a light smile.
“Do you all really think I don’t exist?” the chubby baby said coldly, extremely dissatisfied with their disregard.
After all, I’m the guardian, this is my place. Can’t you show me some respect? It’s like you think I can’t do anything and you can do whatever you please.
