576 He Said You Could Leave, but I Didn’t Say That (2)

Lin Feng pretended to put on a struggling appearance and then began to take slow steps forward.

On the side, Little Black also transformed into a young man dressed in black robes, imitating Lin Feng as he followed behind. This surprised Lin Feng.

“You can even transform into a human?”

Little Black replied casually, “Why not? Just change your body a bit. Even dragon and phoenix races can do it, so why can’t I as a primordial divine beast?”

Lin Feng thought about it and realized that it made sense. Dragon and phoenix clans had two forms, so it wasn’t a big deal for Little Black as a primordial divine beast to transform into a human.

“But why don’t I see you transform?” Lin Feng asked.

Little Black said disdainfully, “What do you know, kid? Your original body size is the most suitable for you.

“Although the body types of humans and the Divine Race are somewhat special, they’re not the best for a primordial divine beast like me.”

Lin Feng nodded in understanding and didn’t ask any more questions. The two of them continued to move forward.

They hadn’t gone far when they saw a flickering light ahead, swaying in the storm as if it could go out at any moment.

It was a star-level (lv600) formation master who, due to expending too much energy during the daytime while dealing with a Chaos king, was struggling to withstand the space storm.

Seeing this, Lin Feng thought for a moment and approached from a distance, asking, “Fellow Daoist, do you need help?”

The man was a young man dressed in fine clothes, looking handsome and clearly from a prominent family. However, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, he replied cautiously, “No need, fellow cultivator, you don’t have to bother about me.”

Lin Feng nodded and actually turned to leave, not wanting to get involved unnecessarily.

He had only approached to provide additional cover.

However, before they entered the secret realm, Hong Sen had mentioned the law. Formation masters who entered could kill and plunder each other. The man’s caution in his current situation was understandable.

Lin Feng did intend to help, but since the man said he didn’t need it, he wouldn’t force it.

As Lin Feng and Xiao Hei started to walk away, the man in fine clothes suddenly regretted his decision.

He saw that Little Black behind Lin Feng did not activate the formation either. It was solely Lin Feng who was resisting the spatial storm while moving forward. Moreover, he was walking in front. Clearly, he was not weak and had a good heart.

Moreover, he was struggling and might not make it without assistance.

What if he encountered powerful wild beasts after dawn?

He did not know. It was not that Little Black did not want to set up a formation, but Little Black simply didn’t understand how to do it.

Seeing that Lin Feng was about to leave, the man in fine clothes bit his lip and shouted, “Fellow Daoist!”

Lin Feng turned around with a smile, looking at the man’s awkward expression. “What’s the matter?”

The man in fine clothes replied weakly, “Fellow cultivator, please help me. I’m deeply grateful.”

He didn’t mention any reward, even though he had several high-level beast cores in his storage pouch.

What if the other party had ill intentions after he mentioned them?

Lin Feng smiled. “I can help you, but what’s in it for me?

“After all, you declined my help earlier.”

Upon hearing this, the man in fine clothes hesitated and considered giving up.

However, he looked at the unstable formation surrounding him and knew he needed assistance. He clenched his teeth and said, “I’m willing to give you a diamond-level beast core as a reward. Please, fellow cultivator, help me.”

Lin Feng didn’t respond immediately. He seemed to be contemplating and, after a moment, asked, “Is that a sincere offer?”

The man in fine clothes quickly nodded, “Of course.”

Lin Feng approached him ‘reluctantly’ and didn’t immediately set up his formation to protect the man. Instead, he said, “Pass me the core first.”

Because of the space storm, the man in fine clothes could now sense Lin Feng’s aura clearly. Lin Feng was only at the diamond level (lv500), which explained the man’s enthusiasm for a diamond-level beast core.

The man didn’t hesitate and took out a beast core, tossing it over. There was a fleeting glint of hostility in his eyes, but Lin Feng keenly noticed it.

Now, the man intended to seize it back after recovering.

Lin Feng chuckled inwardly but didn’t show it on his face. After taking the core and pretending to examine it, he nodded, “Indeed, a diamond-level core is not bad. Fine, I’ll take you with me.”

With that, Lin Feng expanded his formation that was covering himself and Little Black to include the man in fine clothes.

The man quickly expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

Lin Feng waved it off, saying, “No need to be polite. It’s a matter of helping others in exchange for benefits.

“Alright, let’s go.”

The man in fine clothes then asked, “Go where?”

Lin Feng smiled and replied, “During the day, I noticed some places where the space storm doesn’t reach. We can naturally go to those places to take cover. I’m just a diamond-level formation master; you don’t think I can protect you until dawn, do you?”

The man in fine clothes was stunned; why hadn’t he noticed those places?

However, he nodded and followed Lin Feng slowly through the storm.

Lin Feng wasn’t lying; there were indeed some places where the space storm couldn’t reach, but they were the nests of Chaos creatures.

Chaos creatures below the divine level couldn’t resist the space storm, but there was a special spatial power outside their nests that could block the storm.
