Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1983: Chapter 1984: Doubts

The mission this time has quite a lot of targets, mostly some rare but not too difficult to find Spirit Grass, and requires a considerable amount, so it will probably take a lot of time, which is why Miss Qing has recruited so many helpers.

Some targets are scattered around the outskirts of the Beast Mountain Range, so Lin Chen and the others have been lingering on the outskirts for quite some time, searching for a Spirit Grass called the Three Yuan Grass, which they need ten portions of. Half a day has passed, but they’ve only found four portions.

Mu Tie wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked at the scattered mercenary groups, and said:

"Seems like this task is going to take quite a bit of time!"

An Yanshan chimed in:

"Alas, originally I thought I’d get more time to interact with Miss Qing, but instead I’m stuck with you bunch of coarse fellows!"

Although only half a day has passed, An Yanshan, who originally spoke little and was comparable to Lin Chen, seems to have transformed into a chatterbox, only that his topic has continuously revolved around Miss Qing, making Lin Chen a bit fed up.

However, Lin Chen thought of another issue, which is, if the task is so straightforward, then why did the Blood Refining Mercenary Group insist on getting involved?

After so long, Lin Chen has come to know about some grudges between mercenaries, and the Black Mountain Mercenary Group and the Blood Refining Mercenary Group have always been at odds, so why does the Blood Refining Mercenary Group still send people, claiming to help Miss Qing of the Black Mountain Mercenary Group?

Previously, Lin Chen overlooked this issue and didn’t take it to heart, but now realizing they might have to linger in the Beast Mountain Range for several more days, he’s somewhat curious.

But after pondering for a while, he couldn’t come up with anything, when suddenly a thought flashed through Lin Chen’s mind like lightning:

Covering up the truth!

Yes, it’s covering up the truth!

Upon careful thought, everything the Black Mountain Mercenary Group, where Miss Qing belongs, seems to be concealing something. It appears they’re on a mission, but it seems the mission is just a cover for their real intentions, which might be why Fan Kun of the Blood Refining Mercenary Group detected something amiss but couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

Thus, Fan Li joined this mission, under the guise of reconciliation between the two mercenary groups, offering help, but now it seems more like they’re monitoring.

So, the Black Mountain Mercenary Group must have another agenda, and the mission is merely a disguise!

Having figured out this key point, Lin Chen felt enlightened, and everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

However, Lin Chen’s strength is not particularly outstanding, neither is their mercenary group, so even knowing the Black Mountain Mercenary Group has other actions, they can’t do much.

Still, Lin Chen quickly discerned, thinking:

"No matter how it is, neither the Black Mountain Mercenary Group nor Miss Qing would dare to eliminate so many people at once! So for now, our safety is assured! There might be instances where we’re utilized, so it’s wise to stay vigilant, lest we end up being sold out and counting money for others!"

After figuring this out, Lin Chen paid more attention to others’ actions, but it currently seems they’re genuinely just performing the task, collecting herbs.

However, Lin Chen isn’t anxious because he’d rather his guess was wrong, otherwise knowing too much would undoubtedly lead to more trouble, and Lin Chen doesn’t want to be entangled in troubles!

Quickly, two days have passed since entering the Beast Mountain Range, and Lin Chen’s Mu Tie Mercenary Group has almost completed their task, seemingly reaching the mission’s end, and Lin Chen’s earlier speculated significant move hasn’t occurred.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but quietly suspect if he was overthinking, but it currently appears to be peaceful indeed, even earlier when slaying the Divine Spirit Level 5 Black Flame Lion Tiger was exceptionally smooth. Under the assault of one Divine Spirit Level 5 and two Divine Spirit Level 4 beings, that Black Flame Lion Tiger didn’t last even a stick of incense’s time before being killed.

It seems everything is progressing towards a very calm direction.

At this moment, night has fallen, and in the vast Beast Mountain Range, the deep and distant roars and insect chirps come one after another, creating a lively atmosphere.

Elder Li of the Black Mountain Mercenary Group issued a command, that is, tonight they will continue lodging in the Beast Mountain Range, and then complete their mission by noon tomorrow, allowing them to return home.

Upon hearing this news, many mercenary group members cheered, as life in the past two days has been rather tiring, constantly searching for Spirit Grass, and occasionally battling beasts, leaving many feeling mentally and physically exhausted.

On Lin Chen’s side, Fang Xiaolian also sighed in relief, saying:

"Ah! Finally, we can go back! I already miss a comfy room! Spending the night in this wretched forest is truly unbearable!"

Contrarily, An Yanshan showed a face of resentment, saying:

"I wish to stay a bit longer; I haven’t seen Miss Qing’s full face yet! If something happens, we’ll get delayed a bit longer!"

"Hahaha! You lousy kid, don’t jinx us! The sooner we return, the better; stop thinking about Miss Qing!"

Mu Tie also teased, and amidst the banter, everyone appeared merry.

Soon, night deepened.

It’s Lin Chen’s turn to keep watch tonight; although there are many mercenary groups in the mountain range, possibly nearby are other mercenary groups. Theoretically, no beasts in the Beast Mountain Range would cause trouble, but there’s no absolute certainty, and these so-called teammates may not necessarily be reliable either!

Lin Chen sat cross-legged high on a thick branch, resting with closed eyes, while below were the tents of the Mu Tie Mercenary Group members.

The surroundings were quiet, only the crackling sound of the burning campfire, and the distant and closer beast roars and insect chirps, with the crescent moon as bright as ever.

"Gu-gu—"

A sound unknown from which demonic beast sounded from not far away, then Lin Chen opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky, only to find the moon was already blocked by a spread of dark clouds.

Just then, a sudden invisible fluctuation swept past above Lin Chen, his eyes bursting with an astonishing brilliance!

"Soul power fluctuation!"

Just a moment ago, Lin Chen actually detected a soul power fluctuation, and given Lin Chen’s soul power intensity, it is absolutely impossible to perceive incorrectly!
