"Wait here for me, I'll go out and take a look."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

The villagers were stunned by this scene and all turned their attention to Zheng Yue.

Zheng Yue blushed slightly; it was the first time she had ever been stared at by so many people with such strange looks.

"Yueyue, what exactly happened? And this zither of yours..."

The old lady went to Zheng Yue's side and asked, her eyes filled with worry.

Zheng Yue smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, this is a good thing."

She briefly explained the concept of spiritual energy revival to everyone.

However, most of the people present were elderly villagers, and only a few young people who happened to be at home reacted.

"So, does that mean we can cultivate now?"

"Animals have mutated so much already, while we humans have to slowly cultivate ourselves—isn't that incredibly dangerous?"

……

The villagers started discussing it.

Apart from a few young people, most people were pessimistic and depressed.

Zheng Yue had no choice; she wasn't familiar with anyone else in the village.

Outside the cave, Chen Lin saw the entity that caused the golden-haired man to scream in agony.

To his surprise, the other party was human, and even his classmate.

"Chen Lin, hurry up and join forces to deal with this giant eagle. If we can capture it alive, we can make a fortune."

When the other party saw Chen Lin suddenly emerge from the cave, they called out to him.

"It's you? Dong Wenbin... Da Jin, come here."

Chen Lin glanced at him and shouted at Da Jin.

The next moment, Da Jin gave up dodging and flew directly to Chen Lin's side and landed.

Dong Wenbin was taken aback, and looked at Chen Lin with his sword in hand.

"Is this eagle yours?" His tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Chen Lin calmly asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Dong Wenbin's gaze shifted, and he said, "Your eagle hurt me."

He raised his left arm; his clothes were torn and stained with blood, but the bleeding had already stopped.

"I don't want any compensation from you, just give me this eagle."

Dong Wenbin's gaze toward Da Jin was filled with greed.

Although this was their first time entering this mysterious space, this giant golden eagle was the most powerful living creature they had ever seen.

If we can catch it, whether we're traveling within this space or taking it out, it'll be both stylish and we can exchange it for resources.

"Is that all? It's not unreasonable, but there's a problem. It's my new pet. You injured it. How do you plan to compensate me?"

Chen Lin looked at Da Jin's wings, which had several deep, bone-revealing sword wounds.

Even if Da Jin is powerful, he cannot defend against Dong Wenbin's Dao Palace Realm spirit sword.

Da Jin could have simply taken to the air to evade, and Dong Wenbin, who couldn't sustain his attacks, certainly couldn't have exhausted all his divine power to maintain flight and clash head-on with Da Jin.

It's just that this eagle is a bit stubborn; it probably didn't leave because I told it to wait here.

"What do you mean?" Dong Wenbin's face darkened.

Chen Lin shrugged: "I've made myself clear enough. Are you deaf?"

"Chen Lin, have I given you the nerve? You were at most a newly entered Dao Palace cultivator, and your natal spiritual weapon was just a tattered scroll with a weak aura. And you still dare to put on airs in front of me?"

Dong Wenbin shouted, somewhat annoyed.

Clearly, he's not going to pretend to be harmonious anymore.

Chen Lin's expression remained unchanged. "Looks like this matter can't be resolved peacefully?"

Dong Wenbin said, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless; weakness is a sin."

He chuckled mockingly, raised his hand, and used his divine power to send the sword in his hand flying out with a sharp aura, aiming directly at Chen Lin's right hand.

"I'll cripple one of your hands. Learn from this and be smarter next time," Dong Wenbin sneered.

He could almost picture Chen Lin wailing in agony after losing a hand.

Chen Lin raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death appeared simultaneously.

The cyan longsword instantly lost power and was held in his hand.

Dong Wenbin was shocked and furious. "What did you do? How could my natal weapon have lost its connection?"

Chen Lin ignored him and looked at the long sword in his hand.

"Azure Feather Copper? The material is good, but the refining technique is too crude."

With a sigh, Chen Lin's thoughts stirred slightly, and an invisible fluctuation emanated from the Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death.

"I thought Zhao Minghui would be the first one to have bad luck, but I didn't expect it to be you."

As Chen Lin finished speaking, Dong Wenbin's body stiffened, his life force vanished instantly, and he stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open.

"Big Gold, throw him to the other wild beasts."

Chen Lin gave an order, and the golden-haired giant let out a loud and joyful cry, then grabbed Dong Wenbin's body and flew away into the distance.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Zheng Yue and the other villagers came out of the cave.

The Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death stirred slightly, capturing the longsword in Chen Lin's hand.

As a top-tier holy weapon, it possesses not only the laws of life and death, but also a self-contained system capable of creating a small world and generating primal energy.

It can accommodate living things, let alone inanimate objects.

"Chen Lin, are you alright?" Zheng Yue looked around but didn't sense any danger.

Chen Lin said, "My pet was in a bit of danger just now, but it's fine now. What's going on here...?"

"No other wild animals approach this mountain because of Guanghan Tingxue's aura, which frightens them. Now that it's with me, it's no longer safe here."

Zheng Yue spoke up.

Chen Lin nodded and said, "That's right, but with Guanghan Tingxue in your hands, even if you have no cultivation, no wild beast will dare to approach."

This ancient zither is a treasure of the highest caliber, like a divine weapon. Otherwise, how could it have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, existed for countless years, and been preserved and passed down through generations?

"I told the village chief and the others that I plan to go back to the village to find my uncle and the others. The village is still being targeted by wolves."

Zheng Yue explained.

Chen Lin replied, "I just went to Linjia Village, and they are not in danger for the time being."

"Thank you, Chen Lin," Zheng Yue said.

"No need to be polite, I'll see you off then."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

These villagers, in their shock, probably haven't eaten for two days straight, and are now extremely weak.

The elderly, in particular, are simply unable to walk back to the village.

At that moment, a strong wind swept in from the sky, and Da Jin landed on the ground. The villagers retreated in fear, trying to shrink back into the cave to hide.

"Don't be afraid, it's my pet, its name is Da Jin."

Zheng Yue was dumbfounded. "Chen Lin, your pet is actually this? We saw it flying through the sky yesterday. I didn't know you were so amazing!"

"Yeah, if we want to get back to the village quickly, we still need to rely on Da Jin."

Chen Lin patted Da Jin's wings and said, "Tell your people to come over here."

Dajin nodded and then began to cry loudly towards the village.

Before long, a group of black giant eagles flew over.

"Tell your people not to resist. Carry these people back to the village. You go with them, but fly slowly. Don't drop them off or hurt them halfway."

Chen Lin gave instructions.

Big Gold could understand everything he said, but the Black Hawks might not.

They are just a little more intelligent than ordinary animals.

Having Da Jin accompany us the whole time will ensure everything goes smoothly.

At the speed of these giant eagles, a journey that takes villagers a day to walk can be covered by them in a minute or two.

Upon hearing Chen Lin's words, many villagers showed expressions of fear.

They were even more afraid of being eaten by these giant eagles, as each eagle could probably eat two or three people to be full.

Zheng Yue spoke up to comfort them.

"Look how obedient the eagle is, don't be afraid, I'll go try first."

She was quite daring; she grabbed a black eagle's feather and climbed onto its back.

With her taking the lead, some villagers dared to climb onto the backs of these giant black eagles.

In order for them to climb up, all the black giant eagles were ordered by Da Jin to lie prostrate on the ground and not move.

A giant eagle can carry three or four people.

Then, amidst screams of terror, the giant eagles took to the air.

An older woman lost her grip and fell off the back of a giant eagle.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Da Jin swept past, precisely grabbed the aunt, and placed her back on Black Eagle's back.

This scene brought a collective sigh of relief to the villagers.

The giant eagles made four trips back and forth before they could transport everyone back to the village.

In the village, the two groups of villagers, reunited, wept with joy and expressed their deepest gratitude to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin looked at Zheng Yue, "I need to go find the other students who came in."

Zheng Yue hugged Guanghan Tingxue and said, "Yes, we'll wait here for your good news. By the way, Guanghan Tingxue told me some information: the way out of here is to go to the highest mountain peak."

Chen Lin glanced at Guanghan Tingxue; the ancient zither seemed to be related to this space.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know, Da Jin, let's go over there."

Chen Lin stood on the back of the giant golden goose and pointed in a direction.

Ren Ke, who was being chased by a bear, was also in that direction.
