The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3339 Hehe, I can burrow underground!
Just as Qingluan Immortal Lord was about to follow, Lin Chen stopped him with a gesture.

"Don't rush! Let him scout ahead. If all goes well, he'll bring the goods up directly."

The Azure Phoenix Immortal nodded and stopped in his tracks.

Before long, Lin Chen's expression suddenly changed. He frowned and whispered, "Be careful!"

Immortal Lord Qingluan asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chen replied, "The clone is gone."

Qingluan Immortal Lord frowned: "Dead?"

Lin Chen nodded, opened the Seven Wonders Palace teleportation portal, and released several clones at once.

Lin Chen released a spell onto his clones. As the clones charged forward again, Lin Chen used the Mystic Light Technique, and a smooth light screen instantly appeared in the air, displaying the surrounding environment of the clones.

After the first clone plunged into the crevice, it continued to sink, and the surrounding light quickly dimmed.

The crevice was very deep, like an endless abyss, with no end in sight.

When the first clone reached a certain height, streaks of dark light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead and rushed towards it.

The first clone didn't even have time to react before it was instantly overwhelmed by the surging attack and died.

The second clone, following the first clone at a distance, saw the clone below being attacked and, without hesitation, raised its hand and released a radiant light spell downwards.

A burst of intense light erupted from the light sphere released by Lin Chen, which then plummeted downwards at high speed, illuminating the scene below.

On the rock face, tiny, dim lights and shadows were densely packed, making one's scalp tingle.

In the sky, at least several hundred cosmic ghosts, like bloodthirsty sharks, completely engulfed Lin Chen's clone in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he was instantly torn apart by the powerful attacks of these cosmic ghosts.

Compared to the cosmic ghosts clinging to the rock walls, the number of cosmic ghosts attacking Lin Chen's clone was negligible.

How many cosmic ghosts lie prostrate on that rock wall?

Ten thousand?
One hundred thousand?

In mid-air, watching the scene on the light screen, Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord both changed color and felt their scalps tingle.

This is too much!

How can there be so many cosmic ghosts?

If someone were to plunge headfirst into that water, even a saint would probably suffer a severe injury.

As for himself, or even the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, they simply couldn't stop him.

Lin Chen's clone's attack seemed to enrage the cosmic spirits clinging to the rock wall, which transformed into streaks of dark light and pounced towards the ball of light and the clone that released it.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of light shattered, and the clone that released it was also caught up and torn apart.

When darkness returned beneath the crevice, the restless cosmic spirits clung to the rock wall once more, but unlike before, they did not swarm out in pursuit of the clone above.

"Why didn't they chase after us? Were they guarding the kryptonite underground?"

Lin Chen frowned and said, "Cosmic ghosts are not intelligent beings; they only have the instinct to attack living beings. The instinct that could make them give up the pursuit is perhaps that there is some kind of power in this canyon that makes them more willing to stay here..."

Azure Phoenix Immortal looked into Lin Chen's eyes: "The power of Kryptonite?"

Lin Chen stared at the crack in the ground: "If the strong fluctuations we're sensing originate from kryptonite, then it must be kryptonite. This stuff is extremely unfamiliar to us, so it's normal for it to have some kind of magical effect..."

Qingluan Immortal Lord asked, "What should we do now? There are so many ghosts. Even a saint would be overwhelmed."

Lin Chen was also a bit troubled for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll give it a try."

Qingluan Immortal Lord asked curiously, "What are you planning to do?" Lin Chen replied, "Earth Escape. Although these ghosts are powerful, they have no intelligence. They cling to the rock walls. If I use Earth Escape to approach the bottom directly from the earth, they may not be able to detect me."

Earth Escape?

Qingluan Immortal Lord pursed his lips, his gaze slightly subtle.

Yes, how could we forget that Lin Chen's innate divine ability is the Five Elements Great Escape, which is virtually invincible among the Five Elements.

I don't know how to use earth magic!

The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord is incredibly powerful; he could shatter this entire canyon with a single punch, but he truly doesn't know how to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

Besides, what happens to all those cosmic ghosts after the explosion?

What if the explosion spreads everywhere? How will the two of them escape?

"Alright, be careful. These ghosts don't have physical bodies, and we don't know if they'll burrow underground..."

Lin Chen nodded: "I'll be careful. You should rise a bit. My clones probably won't get very far before they're killed. The ghosts that were lured away will come back."

"it is good!"

Qingluan Immortal Lord flew up and away from the ground, while Lin Chen flashed and disappeared into the ground.

Lin Chen first sneaked to the mouth of the canyon, where the rocks suddenly protruded slightly, and the shape of a human face appeared on the rocks.

He observed the movements below, and after a while, the face disappeared, and the rock wall returned to its original state.

Lin Chen moved slowly along the rock wall, like a ghost wandering through the earth.

Safety first, he wanted to give it a try first.

He had already spotted a ghost located at the very top and crept over to it.

Since these ghosts seemed to be attracted by the mysterious power below and were unwilling to leave, he decided to test whether they could use earth magic to hunt him down.

If possible, I'll run away and find another way.

At worst, he could crawl into the Linglong Tower, conceal all his presence, and fall from the sky like a lifeless stone, all the way to the bottom.

Soon, he reached a distance from the chosen ghost and quietly released a trace of his aura.

The ghost instantly sensed the fluctuations in Lin Chen's aura, transformed into a dark stream of light, and flew up in an instant.

Lin Chen was inside the rock face, poised and ready to strike.

He might not be able to withstand a combined attack from a large group of ghosts, but he didn't take the attack from a single ghost seriously.

No matter what, these ghosts can't be compared to saints.

Even if it were as strong as a Quasi-Saint, Lin Chen wouldn't be afraid at all in a one-on-one fight. Besides, this ghost's individual combat strength seemed to be even weaker than a Quasi-Saint. It only had the advantage of not having a physical body and its strange energy attack method, making it seem difficult to deal with.

Just as Lin Chen was preparing to wait for the ghost to pass through the wall, something surprising happened.

The ghost rushed to the outside of the stone wall where he was hiding, but instead of rushing into the wall, it wandered around outside, as if it were lost and could not find its target.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Although these ghosts had no physical form, they did not have the ability to pass through walls!

Lin Chen changed his position, released a little bit of his aura again, and then quickly concealed it.

Just as Lin Chen had guessed, the ghost pounced over instantly, but when it arrived, it once again seemed like a lost child, circling around in front of the rock wall.

The earth can isolate breath!
Ghosts cannot burrow underground!

Then this matter becomes simple!
