Chapter 3212 – I Know Quite a Lot
Jiang Chen, who was being looked down on to no end, was happy to take it easy and watched the excitement from the side. At this time, there was no need for him to make a move at all. Fire Qilin and the Monk Tyrant charged in front. The boundless Buddhist charm of Buddha’s Light Shines on All and Fire Qilin’s Qilin Holy Fire had already completely broken up the giant spiders’ attacks. Their spider web attacks happened to be perfectly countered by Fire Qilin. No matter how strong and tough the webs were, they could not withstand the burning of the Qilin Holy Fire at all.
At this moment, with Tantai Jingzang and Wu Zhentian joining in as well, the five of them dealing with a dozen or so giant spiders could be said to be easy. Facing the powerful pressure of those giant spiders, the one handling it with the most ease was Tantai Jingzang. Although her strength was unlike the Monk Tyrant’s might, Fire Qilin’s ferocity or even Qing Xuan’s fluid movements, and she seemed calm and relaxed, the strength she showed was not that terrifying. But Jiang Chen could tell that this woman’s upper limit might be the most terrifying of all, because even he did not know where her real weakness was, or how strong she would eventually become.
“An interesting woman. Perhaps even the Monk Tyrant wouldn’t be a match for her, yet she refuses to unleash herself completely. It seems this isn’t her real strength at all.”
Jiang Chen looked at Tantai Jingzang. This woman had a heroic bearing unlike other women. There was no gallant tenderness, only cold beauty like frost, pure and refined, matchless in the world. She was not arrogant beyond measure, but she did not run with the common crowd either. Perhaps that was what made her different.
“Let me tell you, you must never underestimate these giant demonic beasts. These guys are all natives of the Desolate Divine Land. We simply can’t afford to provoke them. Once we drive these guys back, we have to leave here quickly. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll attract a huge number of desolate demonic beasts. At that time, even a God Emperor would fear them like tigers and be wary of them. Your strength is still too weak. You can’t understand that kind of real fear. You only know that they can’t be fought, but you don’t know what makes them terrifying.”
Sun Xiaolong looked at Jiang Chen earnestly and said in a low voice. Although Jiang Chen was weak, after all, his three companions had attacked strongly and helped them block the attacks of that group of giant spiders. He still owed him that favor.
“I know. These guys are no pushovers.”
Jiang Chen nodded and said with certainty, his expression grave. It seemed this group of giant spiders was already somewhat overwhelmed, because the attacks of the five of them were completely crushing these giant spiders.
“Good that you know. But if you ask me, little brother, you’re really a disgrace. Look at the three beside you. Fire Qilin is one of the most powerful divine beasts even in the desolate world, connected to the ancient past and the present. The bald holy man, his Buddhist charm moves heaven and earth and makes ghosts weep. That woman in green is coldly beautiful and matchless, her domineering aura overflowing, not the least bit weaker than Jingzang. How come you’re the only one so useless? Let me say something you won’t like to hear, little brother, you really have no drive to improve. You have three peerless experts beside you, yet you’re this pathetic. That the three of them are willing to bring you along is your good fortune.”
Sun Xiaolong pursed his lips and said to Jiang Chen with a cold look. He seemed to feel very sorry for Jiang Chen, as if lamenting that iron could not be forged into steel. If it were him, with three such terrifying friends, wouldn’t he have broken through to the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm long ago? But in the end, Jiang Chen’s strength was low, only at the Late Hierarch Realm. How was he worthy of being on an equal footing with three great Half-step Divine Emperors?
“You’re not just a little follower of these three great experts, are you? Then I’ve been giving you too much credit. Sigh.”
“But as the saying goes, a good bird chooses its tree. A bird that flies with the phoenix is a fine bird too. You must seize this kind of opportunity. Whether your strength can break through again will definitely depend on whether these three Half-step Divine Emperor experts will help you out.”
Sun Xiaolong rattled on endlessly with a serious expression, as if he had become Jiang Chen’s mentor in life, a guiding light.
“I’ll remember that.”
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
“If you remember it, you have to take it to heart. You can’t agree and then forget everything right afterward. When you travel the world in the future, you can’t be careless. The Divine World is so big, so vast, you can’t be a frog at the bottom of a well. And this Desolate Divine Land is so big and so dangerous, you must be careful. Even we don’t dare to be the least bit careless, and look, haven’t we run into trouble? But my Fossil Sect is definitely not afraid of death. We’ll definitely fight the giant demonic beasts together with your friends.”
Sun Xiaolong said arrogantly. He could be considered Jiang Chen’s senior, so of course he had to make sure Jiang Chen learned his lesson in this kind of matter.
“No matter how strong others are, they’re others. To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. Do I need to explain this principle to you? Your big brother is telling you all this for your own good. You’d better look after yourself.”
Jiang Chen nodded silently.
“Thank you for the lesson. Big brother, are you from the Central Region Divine Land too?”
“Of course. I’m from the Central Region Divine Land, one of the elite disciples of the Fossil Sect. My Fossil Sect is one of the seventeen great sects of the Central Region Divine Land, extremely formidable, far beyond what ordinary sects can compare to. Back in the day, when our founder was at the height of his glory, he contended with all the heroes of the Divine World. It’s just a pity that in recent years the Divine World has been in turmoil, and all the super powers have been completely reshuffled. That’s not something we can control at all. But even so, our Fossil Sect is still one of the sects of the Divine World with a name and reputation.”
Sun Xiaolong seemed very proud of his sect. One of the seventeen great sects of the Divine World sounded quite powerful!
“It seems the Fossil Sect you belong to is indeed a great sect. What about the other sects and powers? Do you know a thing or two about them, big brother?”
Jiang Chen said flatteringly.
Sun Xiaolong’s big eyes widened and he immediately became interested.
“How can you say a thing or two? I know quite a lot.”
“How much is quite a lot?”
Jiang Chen looked at Sun Xiaolong with great interest. The two of them even sat down on the ground and started chatting. Jiang Chen’s expectations stirred up Sun Xiaolong’s urge to show off even more, and the floodgates of his talk opened at once.
“You’ve asked the right person. In the entire Central Region Divine Land, when it comes to who knows the most, there may not be anyone in the entire Fossil Sect, or even the entire Kunshan County, who can outdo me.”
“Then tell me, big brother, how exactly are the powers of the Central Region Divine Land divided?”
Jiang Chen was also extremely curious about the Central Region Divine Land. Now that Sun Xiaolong looked so proud, he obviously knew the Central Region Divine Land very well. Having someone to clear up his confusion was not a bad thing.
Jiang Chen had simply suffered from not knowing the Central Region Divine Land. He had long wanted to find out about it, because when he obtained the three pieces of the Rushing Thunder Chart, he had already found the location of that Heavenly Lightning. It was in the Central Region Divine Land. He just never had the chance to go to the Central Region Divine Land.
Now the chance had come, and of course he could not let it slip!
