Returning to the shore, Han Chen immediately carried the shivering Lin Xiaoxue to the side of the bonfire and then draped dry clothes over her body. He looked at her and asked with concern and heartache: ”Miss Lin, are you alright? Why did you jump into the Demon Dragon Pool? ”

”I saw the Black Blood Devil Dragon just now, and I was worried that it would attack you, so I wanted to help you. Oh right, Han Chen, did you not see any Black Blood Devil Dragon at the bottom of the Devil Dragon Pool? ” Tilting his head, Lin Xiaoxue said with a trembling voice, his face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

Although her body was in great discomfort, she still wanted to understand what was going on. She didn't understand why Han Chen wasn't attacked by the Black Blood Devil Dragon.

”I saw it, but I don't know why it suddenly left.” To put it simply, Han Chen said calmly, he did not want to say too much.

”Hmm, just now, the Black Blood Devil Dragon drilled out of the Demon Dragon Pool without any warning, gave me a glare, and then disappeared into the forest. I was originally worried that it would attack you, were you alright? Why did you jump into the Demonic Dragon Pool? Did you really find a sword? ”

Facing Lin Xiaoxue's concern, Han Chen smiled faintly, and said with a calm expression: ”It's good that both you and I are fine, isn't it?”

It was just as Zu Long said, before he had the ability to protect the Mighty Death Sword, he would never reveal the existence of the divine sword, especially when he was completely clueless about Lin Xiaoxue.

Their bodies were relatively weak, so they didn't waste any time on words. They sat cross-legged next to the bonfire and began cultivating.

While training, Lin Xiaoxue's body was covered in a layer of dense green Spiritual Energy, which was brimming with vitality, crazily nourishing her body.

The green Spiritual Energy was the symbol of Lin Xiaoxue's power, which meant that she was at least a Martial King level expert.

It was hard to imagine that Lin Xiaoxue was about the same age as Han Chen, but there was such a huge difference in their cultivations.

Of course, he could not deny Han Chen. After all, time was limited, and he had to start from scratch. If he was given enough time, Han Chen firmly believed that his own cultivation was definitely more terrifying than Lin Xiaoxue's.

What made Han Chen feel gratified was that after going through such a tormenting process, his cultivation level had broken through again, and now, he had leaped into the second heaven of the Martial Master realm. After such a long time, he would definitely become the super expert that the Ancestral Dragon was looking for.

”Young Master Han, the reason I'm still alive to speak to you is all because of you. If I didn't meet you, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of those violent beastmen. You are my savior, thank you.” Lin Xiaoxue gently said as she looked at Han Chen with tears of gratitude.

As usual, she was cold like frost, but her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Han Chen.

Smiling disapprovingly, Han Chen said calmly: ”You have saved me before, it was you who killed the Three-eyed Blood Wolf to free me, so don't be so polite, being able to meet such a person in the Forest of Death is fate, furthermore we have experienced so many things together, isn't that right?”

Slightly nodding her head, Lin Xiaoxue no longer spoke, and looked into the distance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

”Lin Xiaoxue, are you training alone in the Forest of Death? If you don't mind, why don't we explore Forest of Death together and look after each other? Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. ”

Although he hadn't known Lin Xiaoxue for long, Han Chen had a good understanding of her character, and knew that she was one of the more aloof types of existence, so he had to take the initiative when meeting this kind of person, otherwise, the atmosphere would turn cold.

Hesitatingly looking at Han Chen, Lin Xiaoxue was obviously a little hesitant, but in the end, she still nodded her head. Although Han Chen's cultivation level was lower, but from the tenacity he had displayed during this period of time, he was definitely out of the ordinary.

After that, the two of them left the Demon Dragon's Abyss and arrived at the center of the Forest of Death to begin their true training.

Their teamwork was flawless. Even if they met a Demonic Beast stronger than them, they would usually be able to avoid danger.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

In this half a month, Han Chen and Lin Xiaoxue had killed more than ten Vicious Beast together. Originally, Lin Xiaoxue did not think much of Han Chen's cultivation, and thought that he would hold them back, but when they were walking through the Forest of Death, she realized that Han Chen's powerful fighting strength was not something that could be reflected through his cultivation level.

On this day, Han Chen and Lin Xiaoxue arrived in front of a huge mountain range. What made the two of them suspicious was that this area was filled with all kinds of poisonous snakes.

”Strange, why are there so many snakes around us? It's too unusual. ” After killing a poisonous snake that was as thick as his arm, Han Chen muttered to himself, unable to understand what was going on.
