Chapter 440 - A Bodhi Leaf
Jiang Chen left without being noticed. Since the crisis with the men of sacrifice had been resolved, there was nothing to worry about.
Even if there was, with his current strength, he could do very little.
In addition, since he had spoken, Murong Long could have recognized him.
He was better off leaving before anyone else to see whether there was treasure in other places.
He saw the spiritual monkey coming up to him as soon as he walked out of the palace. It jumped onto his shoulder.
“Take me somewhere else,” Jiang Chen tentatively said after a burst of inspiration.
To his surprise, the monkey understood him. It jumped from his shoulder and landed ten-odd yards away. Then, gesturing for Jiang Chen to follow it, it started to run.
Of course. A man with such great talent couldn’t simply be a guard.
Jiang Chen thought to himself, He must have had a great opportunity. If the Dragon Dynasty hadn’t been eliminated and had given him the chance to develop further, he would definitely be a man second-to-none.
While exclaiming in his head, he put the leaf away quickly.
“Thank you, monkey.” Jiang Chen touched the spiritual monkey’s head and gave it a peach.
The monkey was very happy. It bounced up and down for a while holding the peach before it bit a piece off.
“You’re as voracious as Whitty,” Jiang Chen smiled. He left after confirming there was no more treasure in the room, but he found some people were exploiting the crystals of fire dragon outside when he was halfway through the secret passage.
“Someone took the source of the crystals away. It must have been Jiang Chen.”
“That guy does have skill. He survived Brother Long’s attack.”
“More than that. He’s also audacious enough to seek treasure. Brother Long said that he’ll kill him and smash his dead body into pieces when he sees him again.”
The guys outside were from the Murongs. Jiang Chen wondered how Murong Long figured he had the right to exploit the crystals of fire dragon in this place.
Besides, Jiang Chen had exposed himself in the prison when he spoke. Murong Long must have detected his presence.
He really wanted to go out and teach these guys a lesson, but he gave up the idea at the thought of Murong Long’s knife attack.
I’ve still got a long way to go to catch up with the top three. Be patient.
He went back to the secret room and suddenly had an idea. He thought to himself, This place is not only difficult to find, but also cut off from holy awareness. I have the bodhi leaf, as well as the source of the crystals. I don’t have to leave.
So he started to deploy a practice tactical formation. After finishing it, he plugged the exit of the secret passage with the books in the room so that the heat wave wouldn’t be sensed.
“Monkey, go. Otherwise, you’ll be boiled.”
The spiritual monkey left reluctantly. Before leaving, it extended its hairy paw to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gave it a fruit, but it didn’t draw back its paw.
“How greedy you are.”
In the end, the monkey left with a pile of fruits. It was wobbling and staggering while walking, but the fruits didn’t fall.
Smiling helplessly, Jiang Chen started to practice.
