Chapter 689 (1/2)

Chapter 689: Chapter 298: Core Area Chapter 689: Chapter 298: Core Area With Lin Jing’s punch blasting out, it heavily struck the area where the light flickered.

“Boom!”

A loud noise followed by a “crack” sound, like that of some metal object breaking, echoed through the air.

Immediately after, a silver-white liquid poured out.

It was not until then that Lin Jing had a sense of feeling.

This seemed to be a kind of intelligent beast.

……

Afterward.

The thing that attacked Lin Jing in front finally revealed its form, and it indeed was a strange beast.

And this strange beast seemed to also be capable of becoming invisible.

No wonder Lin Jing had not noticed anything before.

As the silver liquid flowed out, the beast’s shape also slowly became visible.

It was an owl-like beast, only much larger in size and completely silver-white in color, resembling a skeleton and just as smooth, as if cast from silver metal.

On its forehead was a silver bead.

However…

The silver bead seemed to have been shattered by Lin Jing’s punch just now, and the liquid inside it was leaking out.

As the silver liquid kept leaking, the body of the silver giant owl became more and more visible.

Clearly, it was the liquid inside the bead on its forehead that made it invisible.

Upon the death of the silver giant owl, its body began to fall downward.

Seeing this, Lin Jing reached out and directly caught the silver giant owl in his hand.

This silver giant owl could hide its form and breath; Lin Jing was indeed going to study it carefully.

Afterward.

Holding the giant owl in his hand, Lin Jing descended toward the ground below.

Beneath Lin Jing was a mountain peak.

This mountain peak was also black like the other areas, with flashes of silver and gold light on it.

Lin Jing descended from mid-air and landed on the peak.

Just as Lin Jing set down the corpse of the silver giant owl he was holding, intending to study it,

unexpectedly, another incident occurred.

In front of Lin Jing, the black ground suddenly lifted a large chunk without warning, and this piece of ground flew directly at Lin Jing.

Fortunately, having just experienced the attack of the silver giant owl, Lin Jing was still on high alert.

The moment there was any movement in the black ground, Lin Jing had already noticed it and was prepared.

Immediately.

Lin Jing threw another punch directly forward.

Under Lin Jing’s fist, the uplifted piece of ground shattered into pieces with a “thud.”

After the ground split open, a turtle-like strange beast was revealed within it.

The entire body of this strange beast, like the ground itself, was completely black, except for its eyes, which were different.

One glowed with a golden light,

while the other shimmered with a silver light,

much like the golden and silver flashes that could be seen everywhere on this black land.

This camouflage was simply perfect.

With the suppression of Divine Sense and relying only on visual observation, it was very difficult to detect their disguise.

However, even though this turtle-like strange beast pounced toward Lin Jing, its speed was not as fast as the silver giant owl beast.

With a punch from Lin Jing, striking the turtle’s shell, it felt like hitting steel.

The shell on the back of the old turtle was extremely hard.

But sadly, this hard shell could not withstand Lin Jing’s strike.

With just one punch, the shell on the turtle’s back cracked open.

And the turtle’s flesh was shattered, spilling out a large amount of silver blood,

dyeing the entire ground silver.

And the old turtle died instantly as a result.

After killing the old turtle, Lin Jing did not relax.

He quickly spread his Divine Sense to inspect the ground below,

to check if there were any other beasts lying in ambush nearby.

After some investigation and ensuring that there was no ambush by any other beasts in the vicinity, Lin Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Both the giant owl and the old turtle beast were extremely difficult to detect when they were concealed.

Lin Jing was certainly going to find out why.

…

…

Four hours passed, and on top of the mountain, the bodies of the giant owl and the old turtle beast had been disassembled by Lin Jing.

In addition, there was another complete old turtle corpse lying next to Lin Jing.

After disassembling them, Lin Jing finally understood why these strange beasts could hide.

It was all because of Spiritual Power.

The first layer of the Five Elements Ruins was the Metal Realm, where Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power was dense.

And those two beasts relied on Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power for their survival.

Moreover,

the stronger the Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power, the stronger their abilities.

Besides, these strange beasts also had an ability to use Metallic Attribute Spiritual Power to conceal themselves, thus making it hard for enemies to sense their presence.

That was the reason why Lin Jing couldn’t feel anything before these strange beasts attacked.

Even the giant owl had a special ability to become invisible, making it even harder for Lin Jing, who could not use Divine Sense, to detect it.

Knowing that there were these beasts that could launch stealth attacks at any moment, Lin Jing then continued on his way.

However,

this time, Lin Jing was more cautious to avoid being ambushed.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

The expanse of the Metal Realm of the Five Elements was vast.

It took Lin Jing more than a month to reach the central area of the Metal Realm.

At that time, Lin Jing, wearing a black straw raincoat, walked unhurriedly across the black land.

This black straw raincoat, coupled with the lack of any breath emanating from Lin Jing’s body, made it easy to overlook him unless one looked closely.

The straw raincoat on Lin Jing’s body was made from the softer underbelly hide of the old turtle beast.

Wearing this raincoat in the Metal Realm not only hid his form,

The most important thing is that it can conceal one’s own aura.
