Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 680 - 446: The Legendary Genius (Part 2)

The edge of the pit was smooth as a mirror, as if cut by some supreme existence!

Inside the pit, there was nothing at all.

The Spirit Beasts that Chang Tian and the others brought...

All disappeared.

Not even a speck of dust, a trace of blood, was left behind.

As if they had never existed in this world.

Only in the far distance, a few scattered members of the Night Race, who were already on the outskirts of the camp, quick to detect the situation and incredibly lucky, lay limp on the ground, staring at the massive pit, their eyes vacant, bodies trembling, clearly terrified out of their wits.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying the scent of scorched earth, ruffling the hem of Lin Chen’s clothing and the crimson fur of the Little Fox.

They still stood there, expressions calm, as if the earth-shattering strike had nothing to do with them.

Shi Zuo, Aya, and the others stiffly turned their necks, looking at the enormous pit that had replaced the original battlefield, then at the solitary figure standing calmly in the distance, and the Little Fox at his feet, rapidly shrinking in size.

No one spoke.

The extreme shock had deprived them of the ability to speak.

They only knew that what they had witnessed today would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Spirit Academy’s Lin Chen, well-deserved of his reputation!

They finally understood what a genius was!

In front of Lin Chen, any Beast Taming genius seemed insignificant.

.....

Chang Tian and Chang Teng were also nearly collapsing to the ground, but they reacted quickly, realizing that the Ancestor Dragon Stone wasn’t important, survival was paramount.

But Lee Zhen had been waiting for this moment, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Where do you think you’re going!"

The brief rest had allowed Lee Zhen to catch his breath.

But without them needing to act, Shi Zuo and the others immediately summoned their Spirit Beasts to block Chang Tian and the others.

After losing their Spirit Beasts, these Night Race members were very weak in battle.

They easily tied them up with little effort.

And what they used to bind them was exactly what had been used to bind Shi Zuo and the others earlier.

Seeing Chang Tian and the others tied on the ground, Shi Zuo and the others understood that the roles of attack and defense were now reversed.

"Chen..." Shi Zuo looked at Lin Chen, momentarily unsure how to address him.

But Lin Chen, as usual, said, "Brother Shi is older than me, so just address me as usual."

Shi Zuo felt a bit flattered, and quickly said, "Brother Lin, how do you think we should handle them?"

"I’ll leave it to you," Lin Chen said, "but my suggestion is... since they are destined to be enemies, there’s no need to keep them around."

"I understand," Shi Zuo nodded.

He was naturally already inclined to kill; being a Treasure Hunter, one had to be ruthless by nature.

However, they were ruthless not to their own people, but to their enemies.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, Chang Tian and those Night Race members turned pale upon hearing Lin Chen’s words.

Chang Tian then said coldly, "Do you dare kill us? Aren’t you afraid of inciting a war between our countries?"

"You know the Night Race’s status in East Sakura Country."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zuo and Yang Lai hesitated, but Lin Chen said, "When you wanted to kill them earlier, why didn’t you consider this problem?"

Chang Tian’s pupils shrank sharply, then he said, "Your Cangling Ancient Country is already plagued with internal troubles. Do you really want to provoke external concerns?"

This threat was so blatant, but Lin Chen calmly said:

"Such problems are only for the living to consider."

Hearing this, Chang Tian drew a sharp breath.

While Shi Zuo and the others seemed to have found their answer.

Having finished speaking, Lin Chen did not linger any further and said to Shi Zuo, "I’ll go back to look at the grass, you take care of things here."

"Alright."

Shi Zuo nodded repeatedly.

Then Lin Chen left with Lee Zhen, and as they walked, the latter said, "These East Sakura Country people are really arrogant, thinking our Cangling Ancient Country people are truly afraid of them."

After taking a few steps, Lin Chen said:

"A country is actually like a family; when there’s harmony, success comes."

"But since Zhong Nan left, the whole country has suffered consecutive blows."

"Zhong Nan?"

Lee Zhen was stunned, never expecting Lin Chen to mention his name suddenly. He said, "He couldn’t have foreseen these things either."

"I wasn’t blaming him...." Lin Chen said, "It’s just that his departure was indeed the starting point of internal strife in Cangling Ancient Country."

"Perhaps only when Gu Ning rises can peace be restored here."

"Gu Ning is not a good person," Lee Zhen said.

As they talked, they returned to the cave of the Profound Ice Dragon Saliva Grass and, after a careful check, found that the grass was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.

This thing might be useless to others, but to Lin Chen, it was a priceless treasure.

If it had been stolen, he wouldn’t have known who to blame.

Lee Zhen sat down and began to rest, while Lin Chen read a book. Until daybreak, he heard footsteps.

To avoid waking Lee Zhen, he went outside and saw Shi Zuo and others standing outside the cave.

The moment Lin Chen appeared, everyone knelt on one knee.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Chen quickly stepped forward to help Shi Zuo up.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zuo didn’t move, and everyone said in unison:

"Thank you, Senior Lee, and Brother Lin, for saving us!"

"We will forever remember this life-saving grace."

Lin Chen quickly helped Shi Zuo up and said:

"Brother Shi, everyone, there’s no need for such formalities. We’re compatriots out here, and mutual support is only natural."

Only then did Shi Zuo and the others get up, faces still filled with gratitude and reverence.

Shi Zuo stepped forward, lowering his voice, and said:

"Brother Lin, Senior Lee, we’ve dealt with Chang Tian and them, according to your words... leaving no survivors."

Lin Chen nodded slightly; this was the law of the jungle, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.
