The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3534 When you go out, you give your identity to yourself
When Lin Chen clashed with the stone giant in front of him, the stone giant behind him did not pursue him further, but retreated.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that his previous observations were correct.

These stone giants are located at various key positions in the formation. They will attack intruders, but they will not cross the area to chase and attack them.

The advantage is that you don't have to face the siege of all the stone giants at the same time. The disadvantage is that these stone giants are like a relay race. Once the formation is activated, there is no way to stop or have time to rest. You can only keep fighting and moving forward until you reach the finish line.

If you run out of steam halfway through, it will be very dangerous.

The stone giants don't take breaks. As long as you're in their territory, you either destroy them or they destroy you.

This formation has clearly existed for a long time, and many explorers have passed through it, yet these stone giants are still intact, which suggests that it is impossible to destroy them.

Lin Chen and his two companions fought their way forward, their spiritual energy being consumed very quickly. After all, the barrier within this formation restricted the spatial area, making the battle inflexible and leaving only a head-on, death-defying struggle.

Every collision is a full-force attack; how could spiritual energy not be consumed quickly?
Fortunately, the Linglong Pagoda is an innate spiritual treasure with Qi Jie as its spirit. While Lin Chen was controlling the Linglong Pagoda, Qi Jie was also exerting her power. Moreover, as he had instructed, Duanmu Wen and Lord Meishi would both help him, which made it less strenuous for Lin Chen to control the Linglong Pagoda.

The three of them forced their way in, but the situation only worsened.

The number of stone giants stationed there has increased; first there were two, then three, and now there are four…

Lin Chen felt that if he continued like this, his spiritual power would probably be exhausted. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face after entering the portal. If he was exhausted and his combat power was greatly reduced, he would be in danger if he encountered a bad enemy or a difficult situation.

As the four stone giants attacked the three of them, Lin Chen manipulated the Linglong Tower and instantly released two clones.

As soon as the clones appeared, they immediately transformed into two beams of light, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed towards the two stone giants.

The stone giant was originally going to attack Lin Chen and the other two, but when it suddenly saw someone getting close and trying to force its way through, it immediately changed its target and blasted directly at Lin Chen's clone.

Lin Chen's clone used his movement technique to dodge at lightning speed. After all, the clone's strength was limited, and it was impossible to fight head-on. He could only rely on movement techniques to lure the enemy.

With the stone giant in disarray, the pressure on Lin Chen and his companions was greatly reduced, and they instantly rushed over to the next area.

"boom"

The clone was blasted apart in mid-air, but Lin Chen remained unmoved and released two more clones.

The clones always appear at crucial moments, instantly rushing towards the stone giant and attracting its attention, creating an opportunity for Lin Chen and his companions to rush over.

Thanks to the constant depletion of their clones, Lin Chen and his companions became more relaxed, moving swiftly through the formation, passing over one stone giant after another, and successfully approaching the teleportation gate in the center of the formation.

"The portal has arrived!"

Sun Yixiao rushed out of a barrier passage, saw the light gate ahead, and shouted in surprise, but then his face instantly turned bad.

"So many stone statues!"

Lin Chen glanced around and saw a teleportation portal on a high platform, flashing with light and remaining active. Around the platform, there were stone giant statues, at least a dozen of them.

Lin Chen sighed inwardly. If it were a person, how could they possibly get through the siege of so many stone giants unscathed and escape into that portal? Probably only by flying a kite.

First, use speed to move the stone giants surrounding the platform. Once they are moving, gaps will appear in the formation, creating an opportunity to enter the portal.

If it were Lin Chen, he could use the Free and Easy Travel and Shrinking Earth to an Inch techniques to pull these stone giants within this area, but for safety's sake, Lin Chen decided to use the Clone Technique.

There are too many stone giants, I can just lure them away.

Lin Chen released multiple clones in one go, each clone corresponding to a stone giant, with the goal of pulling them all to one side to create an opening on the platform.

The clones charged forward, and all the stone giants were instantly mobilized to chase after them. The scene was chaotic for a moment, but in the chaos, the high platform was revealed.

"go!"

Lin Chen rushed forward first, and before the many stone giants could react, he had already entered the portal of light.

Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao followed closely behind, rushing directly into the portal. Behind them, the clones used to lure the enemy were smashed apart by the stone giant, turning into clouds of blood mist.

After all the clones were killed, the stone giants returned to their original positions, turned into stone statues again, and remained motionless.

A shadowy figure streaked across the sky above the formation.

"The ability to create clones, that's interesting."

……

The scenery before Lin Chen changed; it was no longer the wilderness he had seen before, but instead he found himself before a magnificent palace.

Lin Chen was currently atop a mountain peak, and the palace was located at the highest point of the peak. He was standing in the plaza in front of the palace.

In front of the palace, there were many people. Some sat cross-legged, their hands gliding in the air, shimmering with light. Others gathered in small groups, discussing in hushed tones.

These people have different appearances, and the vast majority are not Celestials. They are obviously explorers sent in by various external forces. The few Celestials are probably their strategists. After all, it is impossible to send in all slaves. They must have trusted people of their own to control these slaves to explore the Holy Land.

Ning Hesheng and Sun Yixiao appeared behind Lin Chen. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ning Hesheng's eyes revealed joy.

"Is this the main expedition team from before? Have we caught up with them?"

Lin Chen said in a low voice, "Judging from their appearance, it seems they are being kept outside the palace and unable to enter."

Ning Hesheng nodded: "Let's go and ask. Since there are so many people here and nothing of real value, we probably won't be besieged."

Lin Chen's public identity is that of a foreign slave, so Ning Hesheng naturally has to step forward in this situation. Lin Chen glanced around and said in a low voice, "I don't see Zhao Muran. The others probably don't recognize us. If they ask about our origins, you can give a more impressive name to avoid being targeted."

Ning Hesheng chuckled: "Then let's impersonate people from the Black Palace. Anyway, if we don't run into Zhao Muran, we won't be exposed. If we do, no matter who we're impersonating, we'll be found out. We can also use this opportunity to find out about Zhao Muran..."
