Chapter 335 The Harvest Begins
Riding Garurumon, Wang Yuan unknowingly stepped into a dense forest.
Although this forest grows in an independent space, its branches and leaves still cover the sky and the ground is covered with all kinds of weeds. If it weren't for the unusually twisted trunks of these trees, Lin Chen would have thought he had come to a forest in the normal world.
"Garurumon, are you sure Jiang Shaoxu is here? There doesn't seem to be any sign of a battle here, not even any sounds of fighting," Lin Chen asked Garurumon, looking at the twisted jungle.
"It's just ahead." Garurumon's deep voice rang out, and then it leaped over a large patch of bushes and rushed into the depths of the jungle.
"roar!"
As soon as Garurumon emerged from the bushes, Lin Chen heard a series of fierce roars.
Lin Chen looked closely and saw that more than a dozen leopards with wings on their backs and fierce appearances were getting up from the ground in front of him, staring fiercely at Garurumon and Lin Chen on its back.
And standing prominently at the center of these leopards was none other than Jiang Shaoxu.
"Lingyi, please comfort me!"
Seeing that the winged leopards were about to attack Lin Chen, Jiang Shaoxu released her mind magic again to calm them down. Then she walked through the leopard pack, walked to Garurumon's side, and extended her delicate hand to Lin Chen.
The Garurumon, being very perceptive, lay down on the ground and only stood up after Lin Chen lifted Jiang Shaoxu onto its back.
"Not bad, you still have some conscience, you actually knew to come find me as soon as possible," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smug look on her face.
"That's natural." Lin Chen nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "Shouldn't the demons in this independent space be extremely ferocious? How could you soothe them with mind magic?"
"Just pet them like cats," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"You're really something." Lin Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Where is our next target? Where are we going to find treasure?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"I don't plan to search for treasure step by step. Our next move depends entirely on you," Lin Chen said, telling Jiang Shaoxu all his plans.
"I like this idea." Jiang Shaoxu's face lit up with an excited smile. "Watch me."
Jiang Shaoxu used mental magic to spread her mental power outwards, and in a short while, she encompassed the nearby pupil eagles.
And she easily read the information she wanted from Tong Ying's mind.
"Within a five-kilometer radius of us, no students have made any gains yet. However, there has been a hawk watching a valley three kilometers to our left, but there has been no sign of any students there. I estimate there must be some treasure there," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Since there's no prey nearby, let's go check out that valley. Maybe we'll find something there," Lin Chen said, and then he sent Garurumon running off in the direction Jiang Shaoxu had indicated.
Soon, Lin Chen and his group arrived at the valley. As soon as they entered, more than a dozen strong giant apes rushed towards them, clearly indicating that this was their home.
Although these giant apes looked tall and mighty, their strength was only at the warrior level. Under the overwhelming power of Garurumon, they were quickly slaughtered and fled in disarray.
"This valley doesn't look small at all. How can we find the treasures here? Do we have to use mind magic to sense them?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"I'll give it a try," Lin Chen said.
"System, can you sense that there are treasures nearby?" Lin Chen asked silently in his mind.
After waiting for a few seconds, the system projected a virtual map in front of Lin Chen, showing the ground more than a hundred meters below him.
There is a dot that is shining with golden light.
"Found it." Lin Chen summoned the griffin spirit and instructed it to follow the map to find the glowing dot.
A moment later, the griffin spirit emerged from underground, came to Lin Chen, opened its mouth, and spat out a small box.
A line of small characters was engraved on the outside of the box, describing the general details and specific value of the treasure.
"A Chaos Crystal, worth five hundred million. No wonder the Eye Eagle has been eyeing it all this time; it really is a good item." Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.
This thing is very useful to him; it can be used to promote Gatomon's evolution.
The first operation yielded good results, greatly boosting the morale of Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu.
After putting the treasure away, Jiang Shaoxu began to explore the memories in the minds of nearby eagles and soon found her next target.
Before Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu could even get close to their target location, they discovered various magical, dazzling lights emanating from the woods ahead.
"There are people fighting demons ahead, but they haven't gotten the treasure yet," Jiang Shaoxu said, sharing Tong Ying's memories in real time.
"You wait here, I'll go in and take a look." Lin Chen said, activating the mark of the Shadow Cloak in his spiritual world, summoning the Shadow Cloak, putting it on, and silently sneaking inside.
Upon reaching the edge of the battlefield, Lin Chen saw four or five people using various powerful magical artifacts to fight a ferocious tiger demon. Judging from the aura emanating from the tiger demon, it was a demon at the level of a Grand Commander.
"These people are quite strong," Lin Chen muttered to himself, continuing to walk forward according to the virtual map projected by the system.
As Lin Chen passed by the Great Commander Tiger Demon, the tiger demon seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen's location, but its attention was quickly drawn to the magical attacks of the people in front of it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chen increased his movement speed and rushed into the cave behind the tiger demon with a "whoosh".
Inside the cave, Lin Chen discovered the carcass of a tiger that had been dead for countless years, and the spine of the carcass emitted a faint light, revealing a different kind of aura.
"This is an unusual bone; it might still be related to that tiger outside," Lin Chen muttered to himself.
After storing the strange bone in front of him into his storage ring, Lin Chen immediately used the Shadow Cloak to escape quickly.
When Lin Chen escaped using the Shadow Cloak, the tiger demon, who was at the Grand Commander level, noticed something amiss again, but still didn't sense anything unusual.
It wasn't until Lin Chen, Jiang Shaoxu, and Garurumon reunited and rode Garurumon away from the area that the tiger demon, a commander-level creature, realized what was happening and turned to dart into the cave behind it.
Upon entering the cave, it discovered that its father's remains had been dismantled, and immediately let out a roar as it charged toward the mages outside the cave.
The mages outside the cave, thinking they had driven the tiger demon away and were excitedly preparing to reap their spoils, discovered that the tiger demon was charging towards them with an even more ferocious aura than before.
For a moment, the roars of tigers and screams rose and fell, but Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu had already begun to move on to their next target.
