Chapter 1541: Selfish

Qiao Zhixuan felt more and more weird.

But she was not a person who had never seen the world.

"Let's go forward and try, what if there is a road ahead?"

Lin Chen nodded and agreed with her words.

He thought so too.

The two continued to walk forward.

Further ahead was the place where they had found the bodies of Lingxianzong disciples before.

But the weird thing was that those bodies disappeared without a trace.

Qiao Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"The bodies are gone, we must have made a mistake."

Lin Chen frowned, but still did not relax.

"Are you sure?"

Qiao Zhixuan was a little unhappy with Lin Chen's doubts.

"You must have thought too much. The bodies are gone, and even the bloodstains are gone. Doesn't this mean anything?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Don't you smell the blood in the air?"

It was exactly the same as what they smelled when they came here just now.

But this smell was much lighter than before, and it was almost invisible in the air. If you didn't smell it carefully, you really couldn't find it.

"Blood smell?"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiao Zhixuan also became very alert.

She frowned and sniffed the air carefully.

Except for the fresh smell of flowers and trees, she didn't smell anything, let alone the blood smell in Lin Chen's mouth.

"No, I don't smell anything."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Lin Chen again: "Could it be your illusion?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Impossible."

This is definitely not his illusion.

His five senses are different from ordinary people, and he is much more sensitive in terms of smell perception.

But Qiao Zhixuan didn't care.

"But I don't smell anything!"

Lin Chen didn't say anything.

He always felt that this place was very strange, and it was better to be careful anyway.

In addition, he remembered the creeping vines on the corpse.

Could it be that the disappearance of the corpse is related to those vines?

"Okay, don't think too much. I told you to be careful, not to be too nervous...ah!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly screamed.

Qiao Zhixuan only felt her ankle tighten, as if something was pulling her ankle, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

Then, she was dragged up.

Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly slashed out a palm wind and cut off the vines that were tightly tied to her ankles.

Qiao Zhixuan was still in shock, but she came back to her senses immediately.

It's those vines again!

"Are you okay?" Lin Chen stepped forward and asked with concern.

Qiao Zhixuan shook her head: "It's okay, I was just scared."

What happened just now was indeed too sudden, and she didn't react.

Seeing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're fine."

Although he was not familiar with this woman, she had helped him a lot anyway, and in this secret realm, the only person he knew and could rely on was Qiao Zhixuan.

If something happened to Qiao Zhixuan, it would be even more difficult for him to find the Heavenly Spirit Water next, not to mention getting out of the secret realm safely and saving Liu Yusheng.

Before the two of them came to their senses, a series of "hissing" sounds suddenly came from all around.

It sounded like countless snakes crawling on the ground, which made people's scalps numb.

"Be careful."

Lin Chen shouted and cut off all the vines that were running behind her.

Qiao Zhixuan also got very alert and started fighting.

The two stood back to back and cut off the vines that were coming up.

But then, Lin Chen found something wrong.

The vines were endless, and if they cut them this way, they might not be able to cut them all even if they died of exhaustion.

Qiao Zhixuan also slowly began to breathe heavily.

"What should we do? These things seem to be endless!"

"Indeed."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Chen said without hesitation: "One person defends, and the other person goes to find the main body."

"Main body?"

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded, quickly cut off a bunch of vines that surged up, and continued: "If I guess correctly, this kind of plant usually has a main body. If the main body is destroyed, the vines will naturally lose their vitality."

That is the so-called, catch the thief first.

Qiao Zhixuan hesitated.

In fact, she still didn't trust Lin Chen in her heart.

The main thing is that if she did what Lin Chen said, it meant that the two of them would separate.

If they separated...

the danger would be greater.

She was not sure whether she should listen to Lin Chen and take this risk.

Lin Chen didn't say anything, and he understood what she was thinking.

Since she didn't trust him, he wouldn't say much.

After all, he didn't trust her completely.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that Qiao Zhixuan spoke the next second.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

More and more vines were coming up. If they kept dragging on, they would probably die.

"You go or should I go?" Lin Chen asked directly.

Qiao Zhixuan said, "You go, I'll defend you."

In fact, she had her own selfish motives.

Once she went out, the danger would double.

And she couldn't die.

She didn't think she did anything wrong.

After all, people are selfish. In this situation, no matter who it is, they will prioritize themselves.

She believed that even if it was Lin Chen, he would make the same choice.

"Okay."

Lin Chen didn't say anything and agreed on the spot.

It was indeed more appropriate for him to go.

Qiao Zhixuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Chen in surprise.

So readily agreed?

She had already prepared a speech to explain, but she didn't expect that Lin Chen would agree directly.

This made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Just when she was distracted, a vine attacked from behind. She couldn't dodge in time and was cut by the thorns on the vine.

Seeing this, Lin Chen protected her with his backhand and cut off the vine in front.

Looking up at Lin Chen's resolute profile, Qiao Zhixuan was moved again.

This feeling of being protected... She has never experienced it many times since she was a child.

Even her biological father has never given her this feeling.

However, she soon convinced herself.

Lin Chen must have been forced to do this. If he died, it would be difficult for Lin Chen to get out, let alone find the Heavenly Spirit Water.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhixuan felt much more comfortable.

This means that at least she doesn't owe Lin Chen anything.

At this time, Lin Chen also reminded her: "Don't be distracted, take good care of yourself later."

Qiao Zhixuan nodded: "Okay."

Lin Chen tapped his toes lightly, and his body flew into the air.

Qiao Zhixuan also became very alert.

Next, she can only rely on herself!
