The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1007 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
Lin Chen's face darkened. What bad luck!

Having overheard the conversation between the Crimson Dragon King and Nalan Wushuang, Lin Chen had already made up his mind to run away after the Crimson Dragon King and the others left, but he didn't expect to be called out by name.

The Crimson Dragon King and the others focused their attention on their group. Xuanji's hand had disappeared, and running away now would be too risky.

The Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers are likely similar to the undead guards of Death Valley, but the fact that even a figure like the Crimson Dragon King is wary of them speaks volumes about their power.

Fortunately, Lin Chen heard the key point: the Xuanbing Ghost Soldiers attack any living target, but they will not attack inanimate objects.

Isn't this the same pattern as the Undead Guard?

Perhaps the Death Seal within the Seal of Life and Death can help?
If all else fails, I still have the Cicada Robe. In this dark underground cave, I can find a place to hide anywhere. Neither the Crimson Dragon King nor these Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers should be able to find me.

Since that's the case, let's go.

To be honest, Lin Chen also developed a strong curiosity about what was inside the cave.

Demon Ancestor?

what is that?
Ancestor of the Demon Race?

The fact that the Crimson Dragon King, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, and others went to such great lengths to search for this matter indicates that it is of great importance.

Lin Chen mingled in the crowd, head down, waiting for the overseer to remove their shackles. Then they lined up obediently and came to the dark hole.

Nalan Wushuang stood to the side, watching quietly. When her gaze fell on Lin Chen, she paused for a moment.

That figure looks familiar!
Like someone you know?

"Wait a moment……"

Lin Chen sensed Nalan Wushuang's gaze on him, and his heart clenched when he heard her utter the first word.

Did she recognize herself?

Lin Chen leaped cleanly and swiftly into the dark cave, his body quickly sinking into the darkness.

As soon as Nalan Wushuang finished shouting those three words, Lin Chen jumped down. The people behind him turned around in astonishment, and the Crimson Dragon King and the others also turned to look at her with questioning eyes.

Nalan Wushuang had already filtered out her target in her memory: Lin Chen, the owner of the Human Emperor Seal and the son of the new Demon Emperor.

This person's back view does resemble Lin Chen's, but it should only be a resemblance.

Given Lin Chen's status, how could he possibly be here as a miner's slave?

Nanan Wushuang snapped out of his reverie and smiled apologetically, "I was thinking about something, but it's nothing, let's continue." The cultivators all entered the darkness, and the Crimson Dragon King laughed, "Let's go, we'll follow behind them."

"it is good!"

Several people floated down and followed the cultivator in front of them at a leisurely pace.

Lin Chen fell into the pit, his body plummeting a hundred meters before landing on the ground.

Lin Chen immediately cast a death seal on himself, then hid behind a rock and covered himself with a cicada-shaped garment.

Regardless of whether Nalan Wushuang recognized him, Lin Chen had to leave the group first. Otherwise, with them watching from behind, wouldn't he just be cannon fodder in front of them?
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He doesn't want to be the cicada, nor the mantis; he wants to be the oriole that follows behind.

A dozen or so cultivators cautiously explored the cave, followed closely by the Crimson Dragon King and his entourage who descended from the sky.

No one noticed that one person was missing from the cultivators' group. Even Nalan Wushuang subconsciously glanced ahead, trying to spot that familiar figure, but finding nothing, she didn't think much of it.

It was pitch black, and many cultivators were hiding in the shadows, so it's perfectly normal that no one saw them.
The two teams proceeded along the passage one after the other. Lin Chen lifted his cicada-like garment and cautiously followed behind the Crimson Dragon King and the others at a distance.

The group of cultivators traveled several kilometers along the passage. As they rounded a bend, several ghostly, elusive figures suddenly appeared ahead.

Mysterious Yin Ghost Soldiers!

From a distance, they look no different from humans, but upon closer inspection, their bodies are entirely composed of solidified Yin energy, making them appear sinister and like evil spirits crawling out of hell.

Upon spotting the approaching cultivators, they pounced on them without a word.

The cultivators were already on guard, and upon seeing them, they immediately turned and ran.

The Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers, like the Grim Reapers, began to reap lives.

The cultivators at the front had only taken a few steps when their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist that instantly poured into the bodies of the Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers.

The Crimson Dragon King immediately took out the Death Spirit Orb, a strange eyeball that resembled the eye of a dead fish and exuded a mysterious aura.

A hazy mist emanated from the Necromancer Orb, instantly enveloping the people around it.

The Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers whizzed past them, ignoring them completely, and went straight after the frantically fleeing cultivators.

"Now!"

The Crimson Dragon King gave a low shout, and everyone's bodies floated up, enveloped in the mist of the Death Spirit Orb, and quickly rushed into the cave.
