Beauty and the Bodyguard

"In previous years, the harvest was only a few hundred plants at most, which can be exchanged for a few hundred points, which is already amazing. If nothing happens this year, other colleges will not harvest more!"

"This piece of poisonous heart grass is enough to win! After we finish harvesting here, we can retreat safely. While retreating, we can collect the medicinal materials that we didn't collect just now along the way, and we can also get some points!"

Lu Sanjian was thinking while talking.

There are more than 2,000 poisonous heart grasses. Lin Yi takes 1,500 to ensure the first position. The remaining 6 to 700 are left to him, so he should be able to fight for the second place!

Sure enough, following Lin Yi was the best way to go. If he were on his own, he wouldn't have the courage to go more than ten kilometers into the central area.

"There are a lot of Poison Heart Grass here? I don't think it's enough, right? Where are we? We'll go deeper in a while, and we haven't even seen the Dark Monster. It's definitely not an important place."

As Lin Yi spoke, he directed Tang Yungui and Diao Zhetian to collect poisonous heart grass. The people from Qingshan Alchemy Academy also consciously obeyed the instructions and worked silently and quickly together.

The poisonous heart grass is highly poisonous when picked, so you must be careful. More than two thousand poisonous heart grass cannot be collected at once.

"Dean Lu, the past was before and the present is now. Previous experience may not be applicable now. We should prepare for a rainy day and collect more medicinal materials when we go deeper. Not only can we stabilize our advantage in this second round, but we can also expand it. Maybe We don’t even need to hold the third round, we can win the championship in one fell swoop!”

Lin Yi said it easily, mainly because he found no trace of dark monsters nearby. Since it is still a safe area, why not collect more medicinal materials?

Lu Sanjian does not have Lin Yi's powerful spiritual consciousness. In a place like the Forest of Illusion that suppresses spiritual consciousness, the detection range is very small.

Therefore, Lu Sanjian had no idea, but since Lin Yi made this decision, he could only risk his life to accompany the gentleman!

It took about half a stick of incense before the poisonous heart grass was finally cleared away, and Lin Yi led the people to continue deeper.

This time he didn't go far when more than thirty dark monsters suddenly appeared on the edge of Lin Yi's spiritual range!

Lin Yi was slightly startled and raised his hand to stop the team.

The more than thirty dark monsters are not of the same race, and they are all extremely powerful. Almost all of them are in the early stage of the sea rift, and a few who have not reached the sea rift stage are also in the great perfection of land creation.

If it were normal times, these dark monsters must have their own territories and would not be able to mix together, so something must be happening there. These dark monsters are an organized team!

"Dean Sima, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Lu Sanjian was extremely nervous, so he carefully looked around and asked Lin Yi in a low voice.

Lin Yi was not sure what was going on over there. More than thirty dark monsters had their backs facing Lin Yi's direction.

I don't know what's going on in front of these dark monsters. The distance is too far, and even the plant attributes can't play any role.

"I feel that there are many powerful dark monsters gathered there. We didn't encounter any dark monsters along the way. I'm afraid it's not because of luck, but because all the dark monsters in those places have arrived there."

Lin Yi explained in a low voice: "The auras of those dark monsters are very powerful, and our team is definitely no match. So I hope, Dean Lu, you can take them out first and collect all the medicinal materials that were not collected before. I will go and inquire." one time."

This is not about being nosy, but knowing yourself and your enemy, and fighting a hundred battles without danger!

Only by knowing the cause can we prescribe the right medicine!

It is definitely safe to return the same way, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong with Lu Sanjian's team.

And Lin Yi himself doesn't have to worry. There are so many ways to save his life. When something happens, Lin Yi even has to think about which one is better.

"Master, is it dangerous? Why don't we go back together? There is no need to take risks..."

Diao Zhatian looked worried: "It's not that I don't believe in Master's strength, but we have gained enough. Even if we don't provoke the gathered dark monsters, it's still enough to win!"

"Don't worry, I will go there alone, there will be absolutely no danger. If you collect medicinal materials all the way back, you may not be able to leave the medicine field faster than me. Maybe I will catch up with you soon!"

Lin Yi patted Diao Zhatian on the shoulder and nodded to Tang Yungui: "Okay, without further ado, you guys leave quickly!"

After saying that, regardless of their reactions, Lin Yi waved his hand and left, quietly touching the location he had just detected.

Lu Sanjian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He cupped his fists at Lin Yi's back, turned to Tang Yungui and Diao Zhetian and said, "Your master has entrusted you to me. I can't let anything happen to you. Let's go. Listen to your master. Let's go first." go out!"

So the nine people turned back, went against Lin Yi, and started a new round of raids along the way.

Back to Lin Yi, after flying for a while, he was already quite close to those dark monsters, and the range of his divine sense detection was naturally extended.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that these dark monsters had gathered to surround a group of human warriors!

In addition to the dark monsters here, there are also dark monsters of similar strength in several other directions.

In the middle of the encirclement, there was a team of about eighty or ninety people. Although Lin Yi couldn't call any of them by name, he knew them all. They were from various colleges that participated in the assessment together!

It’s just that the number of their alliances far exceeds that of Dean Qifeng!

There are a total of more than twenty colleges here, and they jointly entered the medicine field, presumably to pick more medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, they would alert the dark monsters and besieged them.

In terms of numbers, they have no advantage, because there are more dark monsters.

And the combat effectiveness of the two is even more incomparable!

If they had not had the ability to form a battle formation and temporarily ensure a certain degree of deterrence, they would have been swallowed by the dark monster!

Although this joint team can still support itself, it has already suffered a lot of casualties.

Among the eighty or ninety people alive, there were about a dozen corpses, most of them hired warriors.

The alchemists in the Alchemy Academy are all under protection, so not many people died.

Lin Yi calculated the number of colleges present and found that this joint team should originally have more than 120 people.

There are less than ninety people alive now, and with the dozen or so corpses, the number is only about one hundred.

The more than twenty people who disappeared were probably torn to pieces by the dark monsters, and no bones remained.

Judging from the encirclement situation of the dark monsters, it is estimated that it was a sudden sneak attack. They were caught off guard and directly lost a quarter of their manpower.
