The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 926 The Most Primitive Form of Combat

On the bronze ground, a small beast, about 20 centimeters tall, covered in soft fur, with a pair of wings like a bat and a head resembling a squirrel, blinked its eyes and stared curiously at Lin Chen.

A false alarm.

For a split second, the hairs on Lin Chen's back stood on end. As he turned his head, he imagined countless ferocious scenes he might witness...

"Chirp!"

The little beast barked softly at Lin Chen twice, its voice gentle and pleasant.

Lin Chen was slightly curious. How could there be such a silly and cute little beast here?

The palace doors were open. Could it be that some small wild animals from the nearby mountains had wandered in?

Lin Chen glanced at it a few times and then didn't pay much attention. After all, there are many small animals in the mountains and fields. When it's windy or rainy, they might run into an uninhabited house to take shelter. Isn't that normal?
If these small animals can survive inside, does that mean there aren't any terrifying ferocious beasts?

The Soul-Devouring Beast is not here?
Lin Chen relaxed a bit more and cautiously began to explore the palace.

After searching around, Lin Chen was somewhat bewildered.

There was nothing there!

What is causing the spiritual energy to be unusable? Is it a spirit-suppressing formation hidden in the palace?

Lin Chen remembered that Meng Lan was still waiting outside. On a whim, he went into one of the rooms and suddenly let out a terrified scream!

"Ah...ah...ah!"

Two powerful screams, followed by a scream that abruptly stopped, perfectly captured the image of someone being attacked by a ferocious beast and dying.

After Lin Chen finished his performance, he sat down comfortably in the room.

He wasn't planning to leave. Anyway, there were only two days left, so he would just stay here until the secret realm ended.

There's a female Tyrannosaurus Rex guarding the outside.

Now that I've done this, she probably won't dare to come in.

Lin Chen sat down on the ground, only to find to his surprise that the little beast had followed him, looking at him from a distance with a silly and curious gaze.

Lin Chen smiled kindly at the little beast, took out a bag of snacks from his spatial storage, tore it open, and tossed it over.

He wasn't afraid of making a sound, after all, they were pretending that there was a ferocious beast, so wasn't it normal to make some noise?

The little animal stretched out its tiny paw, hooked the snack back, and then tried eating some. Its silly, adorable eyes immediately lit up, and it sat on the ground, hugging the snack and happily eating it.

Lin Chen smiled silently.

We're all living under someone else's roof, trying to escape disaster; we're all in the same boat.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen calculated the time and estimated that the secret realm should be over in half a day at most. On the first day, Meng Lan tentatively called out a few times at the entrance, but Lin Chen naturally ignored her. She stopped calling out in the next two days, perhaps she had already left.

Lin Chen was in a very good mood.

For three days, he stayed with the little animal. Since he had nothing better to do, he fed it all sorts of snacks.

Within half a day, the little animal no longer felt distant from him, running right up to him to eat snacks and playing in his palm.

Unable to use spiritual energy, there's no way to cultivate. This place is empty and desolate, but having such a silly and cute little guy to keep me company is quite a way to pass the time.

To Lin Chen's astonishment, the little beast had an unusually large appetite. For the past three days, it seemed to have been eating non-stop, but its little belly hadn't bulged out. He wondered where all the food had gone.

Just when Lin Chen thought the journey to the secret realm was over quietly, Meng Lan suddenly appeared at the door of the room, looking at Lin Chen with a cold smile.

Lin Chen subconsciously sensed something was wrong, looked up, and was immediately shocked.

"Holy crap, how did you get in here?!"

Meng Lan sneered, "If I don't come in, how can I enjoy your wonderful performance? Are you pretending to be dead?"

As she spoke, Meng Lan lunged at Lin Chen like a whirlwind, her five fingers pressed together like a sword, aiming directly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen dodged and suddenly poked his finger into the bronze wall behind him, which produced a string of sparks.

If that poked someone, it would surely leave a huge hole.

Lin Chen's body was also very stiff, but he didn't want to take the hit. He lowered his body, rolled away, and created distance.

Meng Lan charged forward again like a whirlwind, unleashing a punch with terrifying speed.

Lin Chen had no choice but to cross his arms and block the punch head-on.

"boom!"

Lin Chen was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a wall in the distance and bouncing back with a dull thud.

Meng Lan attacked again like the wind, and Lin Chen shot out, delivering a backhand kick to the groin.

"Dirty!"

Meng Lan dodged, but Lin Chen didn't take the opportunity to create distance. Instead, he pressed himself against Meng Lan like a gecko.

Grab hands and twist them backward, entangle feet, hug back, and fall to the ground...

Lin Chen executed the clean and swift Kimura Lock technique in an instant, pinning Meng Lan's entire body to the ground. Although her other arm wasn't locked, it was unable to move due to the pressure of her body on the ground, let alone attack Lin Chen.

Lin Chen pressed down on Meng Lan with all his might, using his hands to try and break Meng Lan's arm.

Lin Chen never imagined that after entering the world of cultivation, he would actually engage in close combat and grappling like an ordinary person...
