Bewildering Grand Canyon (Part Two)

"No need for you to worry about this kid."

Yue Guan smiled and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder as he said to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena looked at Lin Bei, worry creeping into her expression. "But..."

"All right, go collect your supplies and prepare to enter Bewildering Grand Canyon." Yue Guan waved a hand and smiled. "This is His Holiness the Pope's arrangement. All you need to do is follow orders."

Hu Liena had nothing to say to that.

She looked at Lin Bei and found him grinning without a care in the world. At once, she grew a little angry. "Do you have any idea how terrifying the middle section of Bewildering Grand Canyon is? Ten-thousand-year soul beasts run rampant there, and there are all kinds of miasma and poisonous creatures. Even a Soul Douluo could die if they were careless."

Lin Bei smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior sister. I'll be fine."

"Ugh. Just be careful when you go, all right?"

Seeing that Lin Bei had not grasped the seriousness of the situation at all, Hu Liena sighed and said helplessly.

The group collected supplies in the camp, then walked into the canyon shrouded in vast mist.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others stopped in the first half, while Lin Bei had to continue forward. According to Hu Liena—

The farther in he went, the thicker the mist became.

Right now, visibility was still several dozen meters.

By the time Lin Bei reached the middle section, visibility would probably drop to less than two meters.

Before they parted, Lin Bei handed a bag of Immortal Beans to Hu Liena and told them that in a moment of crisis, they could take the beans inside. One bean would restore them completely.

There were about forty to fifty Immortal Beans in the bag, enough for Hu Liena and the others to use.

Although Hu Liena and the other two were astonished as to where Lin Bei had obtained such a powerful healing item, seeing Lin Bei head straight deeper into Bewildering Grand Canyon, they still did not ask further and only silently put the bag away.

"Junior brother, stay safe!"

Hu Liena shouted loudly.

In her line of sight, the small figure did not look back. He merely waved his hand, then disappeared into the vast mist.

Not long after, Hu Liena and the other two were attacked by a soul beast. It was a Rock-Patterned Azure Scale Serpent of more than six thousand years.

Although the three of them joined forces and killed it, Yan suffered severe injuries in the fight.

Xie Yue supported the badly injured Yan, somewhat helpless, and looked at Hu Liena as he asked, "Sister, what do we do now? We only just came in, and Yan's already hurt this badly. Should we take him back to the camp outside first?"

Hu Liena's expression was somewhat grim.

This was exactly why they feared coming to Bewildering Grand Canyon.

This place was simply too dangerous.

Just now, they had already been extremely careful, but the mist had interfered with their vision. Yan had still been ambushed by the Rock-Patterned Azure Scale Serpent, struck in the chest by a tail whip that broke five or six of his ribs.

Could they only send Yan back to the camp to recuperate now?

If they slunk back in such a sorry state...

How could they still be called the "Golden Generation"?

That was praise their teacher had given them. Now they had only just entered the canyon, and they were already leaving injured. Although the people outside would not say it aloud, they would definitely laugh at them in their hearts.

Wouldn't that be embarrassing their teacher?

"No. We can't go back."

Hu Liena shook her head.

Xie Yue frowned. "Na Na, are you crazy? If this keeps up, Yan won't last much longer."

Hu Liena suddenly thought of the Immortal Beans Lin Bei had given them and said, "Didn't junior brother give us a bag of beans? He said the beans in the bag could heal injuries."

The corner of Xie Yue's mouth twitched.

It wasn't as if he had not seen the beans the Holy Son had given them.

But could that bag of perfectly ordinary-looking beans really heal injuries, just like the Holy Son said?

Why am I so doubtful!

Hu Liena took out the Immortal Beans from her Soul Tool, poured one into her palm, and said to Xie Yue and Yan, "Let's try it. Junior brother wouldn't lie to us."

Xie Yue was helpless. He knew this was the only option now.

They could not just watch Yan die, could they?

He took the bean Hu Liena tossed over.

A plain, unremarkable little bean, truly lacking any sense of grandeur.

At this point, Xie Yue was trying anything in a desperate situation. He placed the bean into Yan's mouth.

Yan swallowed the Immortal Bean.

The next second, a strange healing power acted on his body, and in an instant, all the injuries on him were completely healed.

Even the Soul Power he had consumed in the earlier battle was instantly restored to full.

Yan stood up in amazement and, under Hu Liena and Xie Yue's stunned gazes, said in delight, "I'm fine! Not only are my injuries healed, but all my Soul Power has recovered too!"

Hearing that, Hu Liena instinctively looked at the bag in her hand.

The bag was filled to the brim with Immortal Beans.

This stuff worked that well?!

She could hardly believe it, but Yan, living proof, was standing right in front of her, alive and kicking.

Xie Yue and Yan also stared at the bag with burning eyes, both understanding in their hearts: these beans were good stuff.

With these beans, they would never have to fear getting injured again!

The Bewildering Grand Canyon was shrouded in mist all year round, and the deeper one went into the canyon, the thicker the fog became.

No one knew where this mist came from.

Within this fog, not only was vision obstructed, it was also easy to lose one's way.

That was also why it was called the "Bewildering Grand Canyon."

As Lin Bei walked on, his field of vision kept shrinking, and he had already encountered several attacks from thousand-year soul beasts.

These soul beasts always appeared suddenly from within the mist, delivering the deadliest attacks to their prey. They came and went like ghosts, terrifying to the extreme.

Fortunately, Lin Bei's five senses were powerful, and a Wind and Thunder Divine Sword constantly circled at his side. At the slightest movement, it immediately struck!

Although the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword had not yet been given a soul ring, it possessed quality no inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer, and its attack power was extremely strong.

On top of that, there was the boost from the Sword Control Technique.

As it flew and flashed through the air, the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword turned into a bolt of startling lightning and instantly beheaded the thousand-year soul beasts that came attacking!

The farther Lin Bei went, the higher the ranks of the soul beasts became.

Gradually, ten-thousand-year soul beasts began to appear.

Lin Bei saw a giant lizard lying on a huge boulder. Its body was over eight meters long, and the scales on its body were black and heavy. Its appearance closely resembled the Komodo dragon from his previous life.

"Its cultivation is over thirty thousand years..."

Lin Bei narrowed his eyes, and the tip of the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword immediately aimed at the lizard soul beast on the boulder.

Because of the mist, when Lin Bei discovered this giant lizard soul beast, the distance between them was already less than five meters.

At that moment, the giant lizard soul beast also discovered Lin Bei.

It stood up from the huge stone block and faced Lin Bei, assuming a stance ready to attack.

Whoosh!

The one who struck first gained the advantage.

Lin Bei launched the attack first!

The Wind and Thunder Divine Sword turned into a streak of lightning, cut through the air, and struck the giant lizard soul beast.

Crack!

The Wind and Thunder Divine Sword hit the giant lizard soul beast and sent up a string of sparks.

Other than that, it did not break through its defenses.

Lin Bei's eyelid twitched. "Damn, what thick defenses..."

Roar!

Just then, the giant lizard soul beast let out an angry roar. Its hideous huge mouth opened, and a stream of green-black venom immediately shot toward Lin Bei.

Lin Bei flashed aside and leaped, dodging the giant lizard soul beast's venom.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

The venom splashed onto the ground, and the solid earth was immediately corroded, giving rise to a foul poisonous smoke and stench.

Seeing that Lin Bei had dodged its venom, the giant lizard soul beast immediately moved its sturdy limbs and charged toward him.

Lin Bei was not afraid. He put away the Wind and Thunder Divine Sword and summoned his Heaven Splitting Axe.

Three black soul rings and one red soul ring rose from beneath his feet.

Then the fourth black soul ring lit up.

A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Bei's body. He shouted, and the giant axe in his hand chopped forward—

"Tyrant Dragon Slash!"

A thunderous roar came from the axe.

A ferocious dragon head emerged over the giant axe, roaring as it tore and bit toward the giant lizard soul beast.

How could the giant lizard soul beast have expected Lin Bei's sudden eruption? For a moment, there was nowhere to dodge. It was struck head-on by the giant axe, and with a rumbling boom—

The giant lizard soul beast's body was directly blown apart by that single axe strike. Its corpse was torn into pieces, scattering a sheet of scarlet blood!

The force on the Heaven Splitting Axe did not diminish, and the earth was also cleaved open by Lin Bei's axe, leaving a deep gully behind!
