Chapter 208: Running Away in the Middle Stage
The two were confused after hearing this. What did it mean?
"Mr. Lin, don't talk. Let's go out now. There's still time to show interest." Lieutenant Colonel Shuke was thinking about taking him back.
"Hurry, help me over there, don't make me say it again." Lin Chen couldn't explain, but his personal information panel was alerting him frantically.
[Warning, life is in danger, you must replenish or recover as soon as possible! ]
[System suggestion: Devour the blood of the orcs! Quickly!]
Seeing Lin Chen's firm attitude, the two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. In their opinion, this should be Lin Chen's last wish before his death.
Whatever ridiculous decision it is, satisfy him!
Shuke even replaced his submachine gun with a full 30-round magazine, intending to teach this beast a lesson.
With their help, Lin Chen finally approached Paka.
At this moment, Paka no longer had the majesty he had just now. It had been tortured by the frost and was left with only a little breath left.
It really regretted it. What kind of knife was this? It actually had such a terrifying power.
If he had known this, he would not have rushed over at all.
I thought it was an injury in exchange for injury and I would get a great advantage, but I didn't expect it to be like this?
Seeing Lin Chen and the others coming over, it decided to beg for mercy and try to buy time.
Just let the other party pull out the knife and wait for you to recover, hum!
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen didn't even wait for it to open its mouth, and he bit its neck directly.
I am!
What is this for?
Paka was shocked. Humans actually like this?
It was not too worried because its skin was as thick as steel. Lin Chen's realm was lower than its own, so it was highly likely that it would not be able to bite through it.
However, the development of the situation is obviously different from what it expected.
Lin Chen's teeth evolved instantly, breaking through Paka's defense like a hot knife cutting butter, and began to devour its blood.
The blood essence of cultivators is very rare and usually permeates the blood. However, under Lin Chen's devouring power, it was quickly separated from the blood.
"Ah, no, you, how could you possibly suck the blood of our beastmen? Who are you?"
Paka was so panicked that any thought of revenge was thrown out of his mind.
At this moment, it just wants to beg for mercy and save its life.
Lin Chen was too lazy to pay any attention to it. He just felt a surge of extremely pure energy pouring down his head, which was quickly absorbed by his body and flowed to every part of his body. It was an indescribable benefit.
"Master, oh no, dear father! Please spare my life. I am willing to sign a master-servant contract with you and become your battle pet!" Paka was really scared. If he continued like this, he would surely die.
Lin Chen had no time to pay attention to it, he was still devouring it desperately.
He had no experience at the beginning, but now the blood in his body has further awakened, the absorption speed is getting faster and faster, and the wound on his chest is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
My body is filled with energy, it feels so good.
"Bang~"
As a result of swallowing Paka's blood essence, his combat effectiveness increased significantly at once. He instantly broke through the bottleneck of the small realm of the middle stage of Zhigang and was promoted to the middle stage of Zhigang.
If Xu Fu were here, he would probably be shocked. What kind of abnormal speed of cultivation is this?
When Lin Chen finished swallowing and stood up, Paka had been sucked to death, but he himself was quite energetic. How could he look like someone who was seriously injured and dying?
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Shuke and Jefferson stared at Lin Chen as if they had seen a ghost. They clearly saw that Lin Chen only had one breath left, but after sucking so much from this half-human, half-beast monster, he actually recovered completely?
Jefferson thought for a long time before blurting out, "Either this monster is wrong, or you are wrong! Or, neither of you is wrong."
Lin Chen obviously had no way of explaining all this to them. If he told them about it, no one would believe it if they had not experienced it personally.
"This man's blood has a tonic effect. If you don't believe me, you can come and try it."
After hearing what Lin Chen said, the two of them didn't believe a word of it. Not to mention that they were both healthy now, even if they were really injured, this behavior of sucking other people's blood, isn't that the legendary vampire?
So I could only wave my hand to indicate that I didn’t need it.
Lin Chen did not force them. He broke through to the middle stage of Zhigang. His cultivation was very unstable, and the energy in his body was raging. He felt very uncomfortable.
[Ding~ The system gift package has arrived]
[Considering that the host's realm is improving too quickly, I will first provide a method of meditation to help him consolidate his foundation.]
After Lin Chen opened it, he found that it was indeed a simple martial arts method. Although it was very simple, it was just right for him at the moment.
This is too advanced a technique, I don't even know how to do it~
"You guys take a break first. I also need to take a breath and pay attention to the surroundings."
After giving a few brief instructions, Lin Chen sat down on the spot and began to regulate his breathing and strengthen his body.
This set of skills was almost Zen philosophy and was extremely boring. Lin Chen had never been exposed to Buddhism before and it was quite difficult for him to understand. But strangely, the Frost Sword gave off a cool feeling that calmed his mind.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop; when a person is still, his mind is still; when his mind is still, he is sincere.
For some reason, when Lin Chen calmed down, the Zen principles in the martial arts suddenly became clear to him, and all kinds of obscure mysteries suddenly became clear to Lin Chen.
The true Qi in his body began to circulate at a high speed, allowing it to flow evenly through his eight extraordinary meridians. After several big circulations in his body, he clearly felt that his state had stabilized.
The combat effectiveness has also been further improved.
[Realm: Middle stage of the Supreme Strength
Combat Strength: 317
Combat Speed: 328
HP Recovery Speed: 273
Spiritual Awareness: 20 (inherent in the race)]
Among all the values, his speed increased the fastest, which might be the most obvious aspect in the middle stage of Zhigang. Now if he encounters orcs again, he can easily deal with them without the help of frost.
When he stood up and prepared to move forward, he found Shuke's face full of grief. Then he remembered that their team had suffered a huge loss just now.
There were originally eight people, but now there are only three left.
After some consolation, the three continued to move forward. After all, there was no way to go back now, so they could only move forward.
Due to Lin Chen's greatly increased strength, the following levels were almost just for show. With Lin Chen acting as a pathfinder, all the seemingly dangerous mechanisms inside the pyramid were resolved by him one by one.
Shuke and Jefferson were stunned. If they didn’t know Lin Chen, they would even think that Lin Chen grew up here.
After a long journey, the three finally arrived at the core area of the pyramid, where the coffin of Pharaoh Khufu was stored.
But there is a big door outside, separating them from the core area.
The three tried many methods, even grenades, but nothing worked.
I was dumbfounded. I had been busy for such a long time, but I couldn’t pass the last level?
Lin Chen could already feel that there must be something he needed in there.
So he told Jefferson and Shuke not to panic, and he continued to grope around the door. Since it was a door, there must be a switch!
But the three knocked and touched everywhere, but it was still useless. They couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Just when they were about to give up, Lin Chen suddenly discovered something.
The frost sword at his waist actually produced a chill.
You have to know that the temperature here is not low. The sword is emitting cold air, most likely because it sensed something.
Lin Chen moved the sword closer to the gate and slowly moved it. He found a place on the right side of the gate where the cold air was particularly strong.
He pressed hard.
"Click."
It turned out to be a pull ring, which was previously sealed with some unknown material. Since it was solid, it would be impossible to find it without the guidance of the sword.
Lin Chen pulled hard.
"Click, click, click~" the door finally opened slowly.
"It's done!" Jefferson was overjoyed! He was the one who most wanted to go in and find out what was going on.
For an archaeological expert like him, being able to enter the pharaoh's tomb is already extremely remarkable, not to mention that there may be amazing discoveries next.
"Slow down and follow me closely!"
Lin Chen reminded, then walked in slowly with a torch in hand.
I have to say that this tomb is really huge, because even with the light of the torch, I couldn't see the edge, but only endless darkness.
"Look on both sides, are there any lighting devices?"
Professor Jefferson has been studying these issues for quite some time and is well versed in them.
Sure enough, under his guidance, Lin Chen soon found a trigger device similar to an ignition device. As the torch approached and ignited, dragons of fire quickly extended in all directions, and the scene of this underground palace was completely presented to the three people.
"Oh my god~ this."
Professor Jefferson was so excited that he was speechless.
If I must use one word to describe the scene before my eyes, it would only be "magnificent".
Various rare treasures were laid out in the hall.
Even the steps leading to the center of the hall were made of gold. The scene was truly too shocking.
"I'm going to get rich, I'm really going to get rich! Hahaha~" Shuke's first reaction was ecstasy. Then he walked forward to pick up the treasure and couldn't let it go.
"Don't touch it!" Lin Chen wanted to remind him, because in many movies and TV shows in his previous life, this kind of precious gold was stained with poison and had traps.
But it was obvious that Lin Chen was worrying too much. There was actually nothing on these things. Everything was normal.
Lin Chen sensed that something seemed to be calling him at the highest point of the hall, so he quickened his speed and soon approached.
When he reached a higher place, he discovered that it was a huge coffin.
Why is the coffin built so huge?
This is almost three times the height of a normal person!
Could it be that the Pharaoh was so tall? How is that possible?
With a series of questions, Lin Chen just looked at it quietly. After observing for a while, he still remembered Xu Fu's warning, "Never open the Pharaoh's coffin."
So he skipped it and walked towards a small altar behind the coffin.
There were indeed several scrolls on it, and they felt ancient and cold to the touch. Following Xu Fu's instructions, he quickly found his scroll and put it in his backpack.
Around the scroll, there is a black brick-like object. Lin Chen knows that this is the "stabilizer" mentioned before.
But there is a jade slip next to it, with no words on it.
Lin Chen pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what this thing was. However, since it could be placed in this position, it must not be an ordinary item, so he decisively put it into his backpack.
“Squeak~squeak~squeak~”
I heard a noise behind me.
Lin Chen turned his head in confusion.
Hey!
"Professor, don't move!"
Lin Chen was shocked, because Jefferson seemed to be possessed by a demon, turning the switch of the coffin with a ferocious expression.
This kind of coffin has a wheel. I don't know where he got it from, and then he just turns it there.
Lin Chen rushed over as fast as he could, trying to stop it.
But, it's too late.
Lin Chen had already seen a huge hand stretched out from the coffin.
Huh? Three fingers? This is not from Earth!
What kind of monster is this?
Professor Jefferson had a fanatical expression on his face at this moment.
Kneeling on the ground devoutly,
"Great messenger from the underworld! Your most loyal servant, Abdullah Mahadi, welcomes you back to the human world."
When Lin Chen heard this, he felt that something was wrong. What nonsense was this professor talking about?
The lid was kicked off, and Lin Chen was so shocked that he could not recover.
What kind of monster is this? It’s so tall, and has huge wings. It seems to have only one eye on its face?
Wait, is it possible that Pharaoh Khufu is
Before he could think it through, the underworld messenger had already looked at him with an extremely cold look.
Lin Chen suddenly felt cold all over. It was as if a weak antelope was locked by a powerful lion. He felt pitiful, weak and helpless.
"Da da da~"
At this critical moment, Shuke picked up the Thompson submachine gun and fired a series of bullets at the monster, and the monster was immediately beaten to pieces.
There is a play!
Lin Chen thought to himself, this monster has such a terrifying aura, it turns out that it can also be injured? He couldn't help but be overjoyed, if the bullet could hurt it, it means that its realm is not high.
But his happiness didn't last long, and he was dumbfounded.
Because while Shuke was changing the magazine, the monster's wounds were healing rapidly.
"Young man, don't fight too long. You can't kill it. It just came out and is still relatively weak, but it will soon reach a level you can't imagine. Hurry and jump into the well next to the altar, and you can leave the altar. Hurry, if you stay any longer, you will all die!"
When Lin Chen heard it, it seemed to be Xu Fu's voice.
"Shuke, go!"
He did not forget to call Shuke, but Shuke had been thrown to the ground by the monster.
"Remember to take care of my daughter for me when you get out. Her name is..."
His voice stopped abruptly because the monster had bitten off his head and blood spurted everywhere.
However, the grenade in Shuke's hand that had the safety pin pulled out also rolled to the ground.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a loud explosion, Lin Chen ran desperately towards a well-like opening beside the altar.
He felt a gust of cold wind behind him and the opponent's speed was astonishingly fast.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Lin Chen successfully jumped into it, leaving only the monster's roar coming from behind.

The two were confused after hearing this. What did it mean?
"Mr. Lin, don't talk. Let's go out now. There's still time to show interest." Lieutenant Colonel Shuke was thinking about taking him back.
