Chapter 1173: Suddenly surrounded
Chapter 1173: Suddenly surrounded
With Lin Fan using his Appraisal Eyes, there were all kinds of different things that were gathered from the ruins.
Lin Fan already knew that his Appraisal Eyes were broken, but seeing the pile of items that had been gathered placed in front of him was a different feeling. It really made it clear just how broken his Appraisal Eyes are.
“Just how do you know all this?” Ye Qing Huan couldn’t help asking this when she saw this pile as well.
She had been silently following Lin Fan this entire time, but seeing this pile really made it hard for her to ignore.
After all, even she didn’t know everything about this.
Though she knew a lot about the things that Lin Fan found, there was still a lot of information that she didn’t actually know about. So in the end, she couldn’t help being surprised by his knowledge.
But in reality, it wasn’t Lin Fan’s knowledge that had found all of these things.
It was the Appraisal Eyes that had been granted to him by the God of Earth that sent him here.
There was a part of Lin Fan that also wondered which database these Appraisal Eyes of his even tapped into that it was able to get all of this information. But since they were something that had been bestowed to him by a god, he was certain that there was something special about this database.
It might even tap into the very source of this universe.
“I’m just lucky.” Though he revealed the existence of his Appraisal Eyes, that didn’t mean that he was ready to tell Ye Qing Huan and Mu Bao Bao what they were.
Ye Qing Huan narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan after he said this, but she didn’t ask anything else in the end.
It wasn’t hard to tell that he wanted to keep this a secret, so in that case…
“Alright, then we should get moving now. You’ve already found everything there is to find in this area, right?” Ye Qing Huan changed the topic by asking this.
Lin Fan didn’t answer right away as he did one final sweep of the area.
When his Appraisal Eyes confirmed that there wasn’t a single thing left to harvest here, he gave a simple nod in response.
Ye Qing Huan took back the lead of the party as she led the way.
With the confident way that she moved, Lin Fan could tell that she had received information from the Heavenly Demon Sect before entering this place. He had already expected this to be the case since it wasn’t as if the Heavenly Demon Sect would send her here without any information.
Though there was a part of him that couldn’t help filling with bitterness.
After all, his masters hadn’t given him a single piece of information when they sent him here.
They should have at least given him something if they were going to send him here.
What Lin Fan didn’t know was that this was all arranged by Ye Qing Huan.
It wasn’t as if the Fire Fist King and the Poison King wanted to leave him with nothing as he came to explore these ruins. It was just that Ye Qing Huan had sent a message to the two of them asking them not to say anything so she could surprise Lin Fan.
Since it was Ye Qing Huan who asked this, the Fire Fist King and the Poison King could only play along.
They could only feel sorry for their disciple that he had attracted the favour of this capricious girl from their Heavenly Demon Sect. After all, everyone from the Heavenly Demon Sect knew what kind of personality she had.
It was just with her position, they could only go along with it.
With Ye Qing Huan leading the way, they quickly made their way through the forest.
Only they didn’t get to leave it that quickly in the end as Lin Fan made several more stops.
From time to time, Lin Fan would say that he had found something and Ye Qing Huan would stop to see what it was.
That was because he had been using his Appraisal Eyes the entire time as they moved. If there was something special, he would be able to spot it immediately with his Appraisal Eyes.
Just like this, there was a gap that was created between their group and the rest of the groups from the Five Great Sects. After all, it wasn’t as if the other groups from the Five Great Sects had the same ability as Lin Fan.
They would miss a lot of the things that they encountered because they didn’t know what was special about it. Or they wouldn’t be able to gather it because they had no idea how to gather it.
Ye Qing Huan had a look of admiration as she looked at Lin Fan while he was gathering the herb that was in front of them.
If it wasn’t for him, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to find this herb and all of the other things that they gathered.
In the end, there was another pile that was just as big as the first pile that was created. In fact, the second pile was actually bigger since they passed by much more of these things than there were in the first area that they landed in.
Lin Fan didn’t let a single thing escape his grasp.
As long as he could harvest them, he would do that.
But in the end, that was what created a problem for them.
“What is that sound?” Ye Qing Huan suddenly asked before looking around them with narrowed eyes.
After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and created the wraiths that she sent out to scout out the area. When they disappeared, she couldn’t help slightly knitting her brows.
She just had this same look on her face for a bit before suddenly turning back to Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao to say, “We’re surrounded.”
The two of them were surprised to hear this, but they also sent their spiritual senses around them to see what was happening around them. It was just that they found that they couldn’t actually use their spiritual senses here.
It was as if there was something that was blocking their spiritual senses from spreading out.
They didn’t need to do anything like this before since Ye Qing Huan had been leading the way. But now that they did have to do it, they found that they couldn’t actually do it.
Ye Qing Huan also knew this since she had done the same, which was why she used the wraiths in the end. So she just raised her hand for Lin Fan to take.
Lin Fan looked at her with one brow raised before taking her hand.
When he did, he found that she was sharing her senses with him and he could see from the point of view of the wraiths.
This was something that she hadn’t done before, so he had no idea that she could actually do something like this. But the moment that he actually saw what was around them, there was a bitter smile that appeared on his lips.
Seeing that neither of them were telling her anything, Mu Bao Bao asked, “What is it?”
Lin Fan let go of Ye Qing Huan’s hand to recover his senses before saying, “Well, we are surrounded. It’s just that it doesn’t actually seem to be a problem.”
Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help raising a brow when she heard this, but she waited for him to explain.
Though there was no need for Lin Fan to explain as the things that had surrounded them pushed through the forest to reveal themselves. The moment that they came out, Mu Bao Bao understood why he said that it wasn’t a problem.
It was because even though they had been surrounded, the things that surrounded them weren’t actually any danger to them.
It was a bunch of Foundation Realm Spirit Beasts that had surrounded them.
It was even a bit confusing why these spirit beasts seemed like they didn’t have any fear towards Lin Fan’s group.
After all, there was such a large difference in cultivation and power. Spirit beasts like this should be able to sense this and feel the sense of danger that came from them, so they wouldn’t try to attack them unless they had to.
But it really didn’t seem like the spirit beasts had any fear with the way that they faced them.
It was as if there was something that was driving them to attack, suppressing the fear that they should have felt.
“Is it some kind of defense mechanism?” Lin Fan couldn’t help asking out loud.
Ye Qing Huan and Mu Bao Bao were surprised to hear this at first, but then they looked at Lin Fan as if he had a point.
Ye Qing Huan had never heard of something like this happening before from the others at the Heavenly Demon Sect. Only the way that they moved through these ruins definitely wasn’t the same as the others from the Heavenly Demon Sect had done.
The pile of goods that they harvested was a clear testament of that.
Harvesting all of these resources could be considered damaging to the ruins, so it would make sense if there was this kind of defense mechanism put in place.
“Then who wants to take care of them?” Ye Qing Huan suddenly asked while looking at the spirit beasts.
Lin Fan was about to step forward, but Mu Bao Bao actually said, “I’ll do it.”
