Long Chen was not far away from Yin Mengyao. Therefore, when she heard a man's scream, Yin Mengyao's expression changed, and she became anxious.
If Long Chen lost his bracelet, it would not be a big deal. However, if Long Chen died, or if he took out the signal fireworks, then Yin Mengyao would lose this opportunity.
The Inner Tribe Selection was very important to her.
"You're forcing me to kill you."
With a cold gaze, Yin Mengyao finally used her strongest attack.
At this moment, Long Chen put down Chen Xin's limp body. The bracelet on his hand had indeed fallen off. When Long Chen reached out to catch it, the bracelet suddenly wrapped around his hand.
With this, he now had two bracelets on his arm.
"If I get injured, I'll lose both."
Just like that, Long Chen was in a good mood after obtaining a bracelet.
He had reached the Earth Core Realm, formed the second level Thunderflame Combat Body, and used the advanced mystic level combat skill, the Demonic Spirited Sword Finger. Even without the Dragon Soul Transformation, he would still have no problem dealing with Chen Xin.
With the bracelet on his hand, Long Chen was one step closer to his goal.
"I wonder if that ice beauty has defeated her opponent. I'll have to go and have a look, lest she worries herself to death."
Long Chen chuckled and walked toward Yin Mengyao in a relaxed manner.
"Who would worry about you? You're really thick-skinned and shameless!"
Lingxi rolled her eyes and said angrily.
"To be honest, Little Xi, your Demonic Spirited Sword Finger is really useful. I didn't even need to use the Dragon Soul Transformation to kill this kid."
"What's this?
It's just a trick I used when I was young. "
When mentioning the past, Lingxi became arrogant.
"Come on, you've boasted so much about yourself, but aren't you still reduced to being my brother's maid?"
"What did you say?
Who's your maid?
Bastard! "
The two of them laughed and scolded each other as they hurried on their way. In fact, they weren't too far away. In order to prevent Lingxi, the little troublemaker, from torturing his ears, Long Chen quickly arrived at Yin Mengyao's place.
In order to avoid exposing herself, Lingxi naturally kept her mouth shut, but she still looked indignant.
At this moment, Long Chen saw that the Red Race youth was finally sent flying by Yin Mengyao's attack, blood spurting from his mouth as he crashed into a tree trunk.
What he didn't understand was why Chen Xin needed so much time to deal with Long Chen.
He had clearly heard a scream just now, which meant that Chen Xin had already taken care of Long Chen. He was just about to heave a sigh of relief, but why hadn't Chen Xin come to his rescue after such a long time?
The more he waited, the more he broke down.
Not long after, the anxious Yin Mengyao finally flipped out and killed him.
Under Yin Mengyao's attack, his entire body was covered in frost, and his face turned pale. The jade bracelet in his hand fell faster than anything else, and Yin Mengyao caught it.
This way, Long Chen's team already had four jade bracelets, and they weren't too far from success.
There were a total of 20 jade bracelets, and they had already obtained four. In other words, as long as they didn't lose these bracelets, they would be able to enter the second level.
This seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult. In this inner tribe selection, the strength of any two teams was not too far apart. If they fought in close combat, it was very likely that it would be a life-and-death battle, and there might not even be a clear winner.
For a team as strong as Long Chen's and Yin Mengyao's, it was rare for both teams to be able to overwhelm the other team.
After dealing with the young man from the Red Tribe, Yin Mengyao didn't say anything. Just as she was about to rush over to Long Chen's rescue, she saw a young man standing on a branch not far away with a smile on his face. If it wasn't Long Chen, who else could it be?
Although there were some stains on Long Chen's body, there were no signs of fighting or injuries. This was completely different from what Yin Mengyao had expected.
"How is this possible?
Could it be that the scream just now wasn't from him? "
Yin Mengyao's cold face finally showed a slight ripple.
Right now, Long Chen still had a carefree look on his face, as if he didn't realize that this was the terrifying Heaven Road of the Nine Demon Mountain. But because of this, Yin Mengyao suddenly felt that he was a mystery.
Shaking her head, she felt that her thoughts were ridiculous.
"Chen Xin is almost at the bottom of the inner tribe selection. The fact that Long Chen has the ability to defeat him means that the rumor of him defeating an Earth Core warrior when he was only at the Mortal Core realm isn't false. He really is a genius."
After giving Long Chen a fair evaluation, Yin Mengyao finally recovered from the shock of seeing Long Chen here.
"You defeated Chen Xin?"
Looking at the two jade bracelets on Long Chen's arm, Yin Mengyao asked indifferently.
Although her tone was cold, it contained a hint of approval and praise. It wouldn't make anyone who heard it feel uncomfortable.
"That's for sure. How could that little kid be my match?"
Long Chen laughed arrogantly, looking like a villain.
Hearing that Chen Xin had really been defeated by Long Chen, the young man from the Red Tribe who was lying on the ground finally couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
Before he fainted, he forced himself to look at Long Chen. When he saw that the young man was really fine, his heart was filled with admiration.
Long Chen had really defeated Chen Xin. Yin Mengyao could only accept this fact. Now that she had four jade bracelets, it meant that they would be able to enter the next stage as expected.
Because of Long Chen, all of this had happened a little faster than she had expected.
"Should we continue our journey?"
After discovering that Long Chen might also be a strong martial artist, Yin Mengyao rejoiced in her heart.
Therefore, this time, she didn't just walk in silence. Instead, she asked for Long Chen's opinion.
"Wait a minute."
Long Chen turned around and quickly dragged the unconscious Chen Xin and threw him together with the young man from the Red Tribe. After that, he took out a signal firework from their Cosmos Sack.
He infused his True Qi into it. Immediately, the signal firework vibrated violently and shot up into the sky.
Rumble!
The firework exploded. In the dark night sky, the image of a divine dragon appeared. It was a resplendent scene!
It was as if the divine dragon was formed from starlight. It was imprinted in Long Chen's eyes, causing Long Chen to feel a little dazed. As he looked at the ancient life form that overlooked all living things, he thought back to the glorious era when dragons ruled the world. And now, everything was like a firework, blossoming brilliantly and then disappearing without a trace.
"Let's go."
Thinking about the extinction of dragons, Long Chen felt a little moved. His originally cheeky smile disappeared, and his expression turned solemn.
As they hurried along, Yin Mengyao turned her head and looked at this strange young man.
Originally, they could have just left. The lives of the two Red Tribe youths had nothing to do with them. After all, this was an inner tribe selection, a battle of life and death, not an ordinary exchange of pointers.
But although Long Chen had defeated them, he had taken their lives into consideration.
In this Life and Death Devil Mountain, there were poisonous insects and beasts everywhere. If they were left here, it wouldn't be long before they turned into a pile of bones.
From this, it could be seen that although he had the characteristics of a martial artist who loved to fight, he was still a kind person. This was the difference between Long Chen and many others.
Moreover, from the cheeky smile at the start to the solemn expression now, what was he thinking?
Yin Mengyao was extremely curious about this. She summoned her courage several times, and her long eyelashes trembled. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to ask, but in the end, she restrained herself.
Being interested in other people's matters was not Yin Mengyao's style.
Just like that, the two of them continued on their way in silence.
"Long Chen, do you know of a place called the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave in this Life and Death Devil Mountain?"
Yin Mengyao suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.
Long Chen turned his head to look at her. In the dark night, her spirited eyes were extremely bright, like the most beautiful stars in the night sky.
"I don't know. What's wrong?"
Yin Mengyao hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "I underestimated you before, so let me apologize first. You don't mind?"
"Of course I don't mind." Long Chen laughed involuntarily.
"En."
Yin Mengyao nodded, then said, "Being able to be in the same team as you this time can be considered fate. However, there is one thing that I must complete in this Heaven Winding Path. I'll tell you first, whether you want to stay or leave, it's up to you."
"Speak." Long Chen stopped in his tracks.
Yin Mengyao was a straightforward person, and she directly went to the main topic. "There are a total of three people from the Yin Clan participating in the inner clan selection. I have a grudge with two of them, a very deep one. I don't have a chance to settle it with them in the Yin Clan, so we agreed to have a battle to the death in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave on the Heaven Winding Path."
They had a grudge?
They were from the same clan, but they had a grudge? This surprised Long Chen, so he asked, "You want me to help you defeat them?"
Yin Mengyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's a deep grudge, and it's more suitable for me to settle it myself. If you agree to stay with me, you can just watch from the side.
I can see that your strength is not bad, and you can probably reach the Life and Death Cave by yourself. If you don't want to, we can part ways here, okay? "
Long Chen thought for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect my life and let you pass through the Heaven Winding Path!"
Yin Mengyao said anxiously. After all, this matter was indeed very important to her, but if she joined Long Chen and lost the inner clan selection because of this, it would be unfair to Long Chen.
"Let's go." Long Chen smiled and said.
"What?"
"To the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave."
