The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2265 What kind of terrifying existence is this?
The faint glow of the water-repelling beads supported a small ball of light, which became the only light on the seabed.

The ball of light fell like a meteor, followed by countless frantically pursuing magical beasts.

They drew closer and closer, and Lin Chen could already hear their low growls, as if they were right next to his ear.

Just as they were about to catch up with Lin Chen, like a black ocean of demonic beasts about to engulf him, Lin Chen discovered that what lay before him was no longer the bottomless abyss of black water, but the ground!

That's it!
The blade of the giant sword was deeply embedded in the ground, where countless thick aquatic plants grew. These plants were incredibly robust, their branches and leaves dancing in the water like giant sea serpents.

The sword is stuck in the ground?

What is the source of that demonic energy?
Lin Chen had no time to investigate further, as the horde of demonic beasts behind him had caught up. Lin Chen turned around, preparing to put away the water-repelling pearl and calmly await his death, when a terrifying tremor suddenly arose in the water.

Lin Chen felt his heart pounding uncontrollably, and panic instantly overwhelmed his mind.

He was clearly just an avatar, unafraid of death, and could be said to be fearless. Yet at this moment, he still felt an overwhelming fear.

Something strange happened.

The monsters had already charged right in front of him, and Lin Chen could even vaguely see their menacing figures. But when this sudden surge of excitement arose, they abruptly stopped their charge, then made a dramatic U-turn, wildly thrashing their bodies as they fled rapidly away.

In the blink of an eye, these ferocious aquatic monsters had all fled, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Lin Chen was shocked by the change before his eyes. He took a deep breath, turned around and looked around, but found nothing and nothing happened.

The throbbing that sent chills down Lin Chen's spine and made his heart race quickly subsided, and the surroundings returned to a deathly silence, so quiet that Lin Chen could clearly hear his own heartbeat and the rushing of his blood.

What is this fluttering feeling?
Lin Chen focused his gaze on the spot where the sword blade had entered the ground. He always felt that the sword would not have appeared here for no reason, nor would this place have become the source of demonic energy for no reason.

Since the aquatic monsters dared not approach, Lin Chen became impolite and struck down with his palm towards the sword.

With this palm strike, the ground beneath the sword instantly shattered, and the surging water swept away all the shattered debris, leaving a huge crater in the air beneath the sword.

The sword remained stuck in the ground.

How deep is this sword stuck in the ground?

Lin Chen flew downwards, quickly descending to the lowest point. After flying swiftly left and right for a while, he stopped, his gaze falling on the point where the sword met the ground. There, he saw a dark, black object emitting a black light like ebony. What was this dark object?
rock?

ore?

Lin Chen landed lightly on the dark ground, squatted down, and casually made a mark on it.

A scratch appeared on the dark ground, but it was just a barely noticeable scratch.

"Ok?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. His slash could cut through steel, but it would only leave a small scratch.

Lin Chen made a few more strokes and examined the area closely, his expression gradually changing.

Lin Chen's face turned pale for no apparent reason, and he felt as if he were being electrocuted. He stood up, looked at the end of the darkness, and murmured, "This... is too terrifying!"

He gritted his teeth and struck out several more times with his palms.

He didn't care what terrifying beings his actions might attract. Compared to his own assumptions, the terrifying magical beasts that had followed him earlier were utterly weak and insignificant!
With a few strikes, a large area in front of him was cleared out instantly, similar to the situation under his feet. With such a fierce attack, everything in front of him was shattered and swept away by the torrent. However, this fierce force stopped at the black, metallic ground beneath Lin Chen's feet.

Lin Chen walked forward, and after walking a long way, he suddenly stopped.

Beneath his feet, another layer of dark ground overlapped the ground beneath him. Although the two layers of ground seemed to fit together perfectly, the shock in Lin Chen's eyes intensified upon seeing this.

Lin Chen walked along the intersection of two layers of dark ground, then walked in a huge arc, and then arrived at another intersection of dark ground.

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks, his mind churning with emotions, his face filled with shock.

My guess was right!

The dark ground beneath his feet was not some mineral rock layer, but a huge scale with extremely amazing defensive power!
This isn't some layered black rock; it's clearly a series of overlapping scales!

If a single scale is this large, what kind of terrifying being possesses such scales?
This giant sword wasn't stuck in the ground, but rather stuck in the body of this terrifying being!
