Chapter 690 (1/2)
Chapter 690: Chapter 299: Tracking Chapter 690: Chapter 299: Tracking Like Lin Jing, the two of them were wrapped in hides taken from the old turtle to mask their presences.
At this moment.
They were on another mountaintop, slowly moving toward the valley.
Observing them, they seemed to be exceedingly cautious.
They appeared acutely afraid of disturbing the golden turtle that was sleeping.
As the saying goes,
“Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be in peril.”
Having spotted the two, Lin Jing was certainly inclined to investigate further to see exactly what they were up to.
Along the way, he hoped to learn something about the Five Elements Ruins from them as well.
However, the two were located on the opposite side of the valley, a good distance away from Lin Jing.
Given the range Lin Jing could observe in Observation Mode, he was still far away from the two.
If he wanted to observe them, Lin Jing had to close their distance and enter the System Space at a position not far from them in order to explore their actions.
Luckily,
the Divine Sense in this space was greatly suppressed.

Even with Divine Sense, they probably couldn’t detect far.
This meant that Lin Jing, drawing closer to them, had a much lower chance of being detected.
Thinking thus, he recorded their position under Observation Mode, surveyed the surrounding terrain to determine the route forward.
Having planned everything, Lin Jing then exited Observation Mode and left the System Space.
Upon exiting the System Space, Lin Jing reappeared at the location he had been before.
Following,
instead of continuing to climb toward the mountain peak, Lin Jing turned and walked down the slope.
After descending the slope, Lin Jing skirted around the base of the mountain, heading towards the direction where Li Mingwu and Long Daoren were.
Throughout this journey, Lin Jing was extra careful,
lest he disturb the ancient turtle beast lurking underground.
At this distance, if Lin Jing alarmed the creature and a fight ensued, Li Mingwu and the other would definitely notice.
In fact, he might even disturb the golden turtle.
After all, only a single mountaintop separated them; Lin Jing naturally needed to be very cautious.
In this manner, it took Lin Jing an entire day to travel from his mountain to the foot of the mountain where Li Mingwu and his companion were located.
From there, although there was still some distance to the mountain they were on, he could go no further.
Any further, and he would be discovered.
The mountain currently shielded him from their sight, which was just perfect.
There, below that mountain, Lin Jing once again entered the System Space.
From within Observation Mode, Lin Jing saw the two men, who were not at the mountain top but in the valley.
The two were moving extremely slowly within the valley, as if inching along.
And that colossal golden turtle was just a thousand yards away from them.
At such a distance, the turtle could probably reach them with just a step.
However,
the golden turtle was still asleep and hadn’t woken up, unaware of Li Mingwu and his companion approaching it.
Li Mingwu and Long Daoren moved incredibly slowly, fearing they might awaken the giant turtle.
Inside the valley, every time they moved a distance, they would stop for a while, seemingly busy with something.
However,
Lin Jing was at the base of the mountain outside the valley and couldn’t observe them closely enough; he could only watch from afar by raising his observation angle.
Therefore, Lin Jing couldn’t determine what they were actually doing.
Clearly,
observing from this mountain base wouldn’t suffice.
From the base of the mountain, he was still too far from them.
Lin Jing would need to climb to the mountain peak…
…
…
It took him over two hours more to climb from the base to a spot near the mountain peak.
It was here that Lin Jing called out the System, murmuring in his mind:
“Enter System Space!”
As the scene in front of him changed, in the next moment, Lin Jing vanished from the spot, entering into the System Space.
After arriving in the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode.
Next.
Lin Jing, once again through the observational view, saw the outside situation.
During the time it took Lin Jing to climb up the mountain, Li Mingwu and Long Daoren had already retreated from the valley.
At this moment, they were climbing from the foot of the valley towards the mountain peak.
Lin Jing adjusted the observation view, narrowing the distance, directly arriving in front of the two men.
Upon close observation, Lin Jing could clearly see them.
The two were dressed in black armor, which was tightly wrapped around their bodies; even other exposed parts were coated with a layer of silver fluid.
This silver fluid, Lin Jing knew,
was from the cranial bead of a silver giant owl that enabled the owl to become invisible.
After killing the silver giant owl, Lin Jing had also tried this fluid, which hadn’t made him invisible but, at most, shielded his sense like his armor from other beasts.
But the armor alone was enough,
so Lin Jing hadn’t thought much of this silver fluid.
Yet, they wore not only the armor but had also applied the silver fluid.
……
Now, both of them moved very slowly and were extremely cautious, even occasionally looking back at the golden turtle behind them.
Seeing their caution,
Lin Jing couldn’t help but have a malicious thought.
