Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 568 - 360: Into the Hell Entrance

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood and praised Lin Chen for being truly clever.

This time, there were too many participants in the competition, and the elimination rate for the first round was terrifyingly high. Solely relying on the Lightning Flowers he collected, it was impossible to move to the next round.

So going up the mountain to pick mushrooms was quite foolish; this was a competition, and hard work could not guarantee advancement to the next round.

"I have a question, what if it never rains or thunders?" someone asked.

But soon someone started to explain:

"Lightning Flowers need constant nourishment from thunder and lightning; if there’s no nourishment for over seven days, they’ll wither.

The person realized and said, "It seems Lin Chen not only has strength but also reads regularly."

Many people nodded.

Actually, this knowledge isn’t known to everyone; in this era, people are more concerned about Spirit Beast abilities and pay little attention to literature.

.....

Lin Chen was indeed waiting for a thunderstorm; he calculated that with an average collection of 300 per person, for 20,000 people, the quantity was terrifying.

So instead of searching on the mountain, it was better to go directly to places with more Lightning Flowers.

Sure enough, he could see that the thunder in this area was large and frequent; after a while, countless thunderbolts rolled down close to Lin Chen’s location.

Lin Chen flew towards that place and discovered it was a canyon.

As he approached, he could see the situation inside the canyon; when he saw the dense Lightning Flowers inside, he instantly broke into a sweat.

They were too many.

Just selling these outside could fetch one or two million.

However, taking these Lightning Flowers out requires submission.

"Is Thunder City trying to make us work?" Lin Chen said quietly.

But his voice was transmitted outside by the crystal ball, and suddenly everyone looked at Xu Pingzhi and others sitting on the stage, all amused.

However, Xu Pingzhi also turned to other VIPs beside him and said, "We hadn’t thought much about this, but it seems it truly is so."

"The City Lord is right."

They were amused too.

Actually, Xu Pingzhi hadn’t considered this much, because mining Lightning Flowers is so simple, sending a couple of people could finish collecting within hours.

They also knew Lin Chen was just joking, seeing as he was a dignified elder at the Spirit Academy and wouldn’t care for such things.

It can even be said that as long as he speaks, many forces would happily offer him this money, even tenfold...

When Lin Chen arrived earlier, he was the first, but he didn’t start collecting and chose to hide instead.

"It seems he plans to continue being lazy and plans to benefit from others’ work." Many saw this scene and understood immediately.

They had a god’s view and knew many had seen the lightning strike and were rushing over frantically.

"This move is hard to say; one-on-one, Lin Chen is alright, but in chaos, Lin Chen might end up making mistakes."

"You don’t understand; no matter how much Lin Chen collects, as soon as everyone sees he’s the first, they will surely launch a group attack on him."

"I see."

The crowd was in constant discussion.

Eventually, more people arrived, and the second person to arrive wasn’t as clever as Lin Chen. He even believed himself clever for thinking of it first.

So he began crazy collecting; but he was sneak-attacked shortly after while he was still happy.

Soon, more and more people appeared, and a massive battle was about to erupt.

.....

While everyone’s attention was drawn to the Bear King Competition, Jack and Bruce had already sneaked into the very center of Thunder City—in Thunder Emperor’s former residence.

The two sneaked in quietly and soon found the pool of water.

"Are we going in?" Jack looked at the dark pool, very worried.

"I’ll send my Spirit Beast in to check."

Bruce summoned his Spirit Beast, skilled in diving, and instructed it to dive in.

Bruce was mentally linked with the Spirit Beast, so he could see what the Spirit Beast saw.

Upon entering the dark waters, surprisingly, they were exceptionally clean, with excellent visibility; what amazed him was that there were many fish here.

"What hell entrance; the world has been deceived, this place is like a paradise." Bruce said.

Jack was incredulous and said, "Is the underwater really beautiful?"

"Clean and beautiful, many fish... Wait, I think I see something."

"What is it...."

Suddenly Bruce became extremely excited.

"What’s wrong?"

"I see a grass, blue-colored; isn’t it the rumored Bluegrass?" Bruce said excitedly.

"Blue... Bluegrass?!"

Jack was stunned, because Bluegrass is a Legendary Material and universally applicable.

Universal-level means it can meet the evolutionary needs of any Spirit Beast.

As an Evolutionary Main Material, it’s uniquely positioned, having no market in any Blue Star country for years.

However, Bluegrass is extremely rare, with few historical records.

"Jack, we’re about to get rich."

"Hold on."

Jack doubted and said, "Are you sure it’s Bluegrass?"

"Shouldn’t be wrong." Bruce said, his voice trembling, "Books say Bluegrass emits a faint blue light that illuminates nearby areas..."

"Now I see this water is filled with this soft blue divine light; it’s beautiful."

"Jack, trust me, this is Bluegrass."

"Then have your Spirit Beast get it out." Jack said excitedly.

With a Bluegrass, one could have a worry-free life.

"No, the best way to get Bluegrass is to pull it out with the soil attached, that’s most valuable." Bruce said.

"You... you want to go in?"

Jack swallowed, looking at the dark pool, hesitating.

....

At this moment in the canyon, a chaotic battle had erupted, Lin Chen hid in a secluded corner, having foreseen this.

Some smart ones had grabbed some and fled directly.

Others just glanced and left immediately.

Lin Chen finally moved.

He chased after a woman, who carried a bear and held thousands of Lightning Flowers, ready to escape.

She walked while constantly checking behind, her heart excited.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly rang out: "Leave the flowers, you may go."

The woman looked up, saw Lin Chen sitting atop a tree in front, and felt a bit hopeless.

"Despicable!"

The woman clenched her fist angrily.

Lin Chen didn’t mind, but said, "You better apologize, or your spatial shards..."

Upon hearing this, the woman instantly caved, changed her tune, and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it earlier."

The crowd outside saw this scene and laughed.

"This Lin Chen is quite interesting."

Lin Chen didn’t think much, dodged to grab the Lightning Flowers from her hand, and returned to the battlefield, watching from afar again.

"Isn’t that being a bandit? And he only picks on the weak, not chasing those still strong in combat." someone said helplessly.

Indeed.

This strategy of Lin Chen was highly effective; within just three hours, he had increased his Lightning Flowers from single digits to four thousand.

"I understand, he’s fishing, using this canyon as his lure!" someone realized, expressing the essence.
