Chapter 380 An Opportunity

The more monster boluses and materials Lin Luoran gets, the more badly she is hurt when she appears on the beach.

She stumbles out of the jungle again this day. When she steps on the relatively safe beach area, she almost collapses.

The tips of her right fingers are always trembling and there is a bleeding small wound on her hand.

Lin Luoran cannot believe that she has survived from a Rank Seven monster. More precisely, she could do it because two monsters of at least eighth rank were fighting.

She is badly injured but the Rank Seven monster is also hurt. She has cut off its claw when it was off guard. Lin Luoran regrets that she didn't take it back. It will definitely be good material for refining weapons.

Lin Luoran rarely fights with others in her personal ability enhancement. However, now she has to fight about seven or eight battles which may be easy or difficult in this strange monster island every day for a few months. Whether she wins or loses, getting something from monsters or escaping awkwardly, Lin Luoran has grown up quickly in such an environment.

Although there is still a soft and pure place in Lin Luoran's heart, the mermaid has sensed her changes sensitively. She has been watching Lin quietly, trying to find out the secret of this female cultivator in green dress.

In fact, the personal ability of Bearing Essence period is not particularly extraordinary. A Bearing Essence cultivator is nothing in the eyes of a monster of Shui nationality like the mermaid when she didn't trapped in the Sea of Sin.

So what's so special about this green dress female cultivator?

First of all, she has the ability to leave the Sea of Sin. The mermaid thought she relied on the protection of some powerful magic weapons. After months of observation, she basically rules out this idea—if this cultivator has an invincible magic weapon that can protect her in the Sea of Sin, why is she hurt by monsters on this island every day? No one in this world will be that stupid to put himself in danger.

When Lin Luoran drags the body of a Full Rank Six green bear monster back to the beach one day, the mermaid finally understands the green dress female cultivator better.

Lin Luoran's personal ability is still in the poor early Bearing Essence period, but she is dragging the body of a Full Rank Six green bear which is equivalent to a cultivator of the late Bearing Essence period. She has transcended differences of two realms. It is not something that can be achieved by the Grade Five flying sword. The mermaid doesn't even bother to think about Lin Luoran has used what kind of tactics to kill this green bear monster.

Compared to the bruised bear monster body, Lin Luoran who is alive looks more hideous.

Despite the fact that the mermaid has lost her body, her eyesight formed for many years is still keen. At a glance, she can know that Lin Luoran's body is covered with wounds but the worse thing is that she is suffering from internal injuries.

It is common for people with personal ability to encounter enemies and be caught in battles. However, it is rare that they fight so fiercely until cutting off the hands or feet of their rivals.

Lin Luoran's internal injuries are caused by three broken ribs which hurt her organs. It is a difficult thing for her to walk so far even with the strength of a cultivator. What's more, she is a female cultivator who looks full of feminine delicacy.

Besides the three broken ribs, her hand dragging the green bear monster also looks droopy.

Exhausted Wakan, multiple fractures, broken ribs in organs…cultivators of the Bearing Essence period don't have the primordial spirit so she is still a mortal like an ordinary person. Unlike Gathering Vitality cultivators who can choose Possession, she only has one life.

Why is this mortal cultivator so stubborn?

Maybe stubbornness is simply the nature of this female cultivator? In the eyes of the mermaid, Lin Luoran is like a stubborn weed. She will grow up after she is defeated every time without any fear for this dangerous jungle island. After she recovers, she will face the challenge with a better spiritual outlook again.

Moreover, a stubborn person with the trait of “cautiousness” will be extremely difficult to cope with.

The mermaid thinks she has seen through Lin Luoran who likes wearing green dress. After observing for a few months, she still hasn't figured out why Lin Luoran has the confidence to say arrogant words that she could free them. This is a gloomy thing that even the devil wind tearing bodies can't blow away. However, she will not admit her frustration.

Alas, isn't she just a stubborn female cultivator like those stinky and tough stones at the bottom of the Sea of Sin? The mermaid feels indignant but she hides deep in the sea with a guilty look when Lin Luoran looks at her.

Lin Luoran draws back her sight casually.

They have been neighbors for a few months but she never mentions about freeing them again. Does it make the mermaid run out of patience?

Some things in this world are just so weird. When you bend down and try to pull someone out of a quagmire, he who has nothing to rely on may even suspect that you are designing something. On the contrary, if you stay above him and wait for this desperate man to grasp the last straw first, everything will be completely different.

Does it mean that people cherish the opportunity gained by themselves more? Lin Luoran has no opinions about this question.

She has grown up quickly in a few months of adventure here. Lin Luoran is much more cautious than before because of countless experience of escaping with bare life and almost being killed by unassuming monsters.

Compared with how soft-hearted and mercy she was, Lin Luoran feels she is becoming a powerful cultivator who only follows the law of the jungle.

She doesn't like the idea that she is becoming a person she hates. However, reality tells her it is the cost of growing up.

Lin Luoran is turning from a peaceful person like still water into a confident cultivator. She feels it again that a precious sword is going to be unsheathed.

Well, now the sword is still in its scabbard. It will be much more risky without hiding your power in a place like this island. The bitter experience of killing the Full Rank Six monster has taught Lin Luoran how to survive in this island.

Even with her good physical condition, the serious injury still kept her on the beach for more than a month before she could sneak into the island to investigate her route again. Lin Luoran has thought a lot during this time.

In nearly half a year, Lin Luoran's most successful journey is now in addition to gaining a bunch of valuable materials and monster boluses. In the beginning, she could only explore a few dozen miles away. However, now she has been at the foot of the mountain in this island before being found by a Rank Seven monster.

That place is the center of the island deep in four hundred miles. Lin Luoran has defeated numerous low-rank monsters in the past half a year. As a cub generally enlightens after the crisis of survival, she has learned how to survive in this dangerous monster camp of blood.

It's like what happens today. She has been sneaking for more than 400 miles before she is discovered by the Rank Seven monster. The key to her escape is preserving physical strength.

Of course, Lin Luoran's ultimate goal is not to escape from a Rank Seven monster.

Her destination is not the peaceful beach, but the place closer to Mount Penglai behind these towering mountains. Therefore, how to flee back to the beach is never her goal. Her real purpose is turning over the mountains and challenging the dignity of the Rank Nine monster while keeping herself alive.

To achieve this goal, she can even allow herself to become cold-blooded for a moment.

“Do you really decide to abandon them?”

Fire phoenix is a bit surprised. As a bystander from the beginning, it has witnessed how Lin Luoran always screws things up because of her weakness, mercy. Fire phoenix understands it better than anyone. But when Lin Luoran really abandons this weakness, fire phoenix feels the charitable Lin Luoran is cuter and more lively—like the former owner of space many years ago. They are both vivid, not like thousands of people in the world of personal ability as blank as pale paper. Some somber cultivators only develop their strength but not their mind.

The “them” fire phoenix is talking about is obviously the countless demons in the Sea of Sin.

Of course, it will not be soft-hearted. Fire phoenix just has a feeling that such a large number of souls can bring a qualitative leap to Lin Luoran's power of faith. It thinks that's a shame.

Fire phoenix is very proud. It will not admit that there is a trace of disappointment in its mood.

Lin Luoran bows her head and smiles, “This is an opportunity. If I can cross the mountain where the Rank Nine monster is, I will never risk it and go back for these ungrateful demons.”

Fire phoenix is speechless. The mermaid can only infers Lin Luoran's situation in the jungle from how awkward she is back to the beach. However, fire phoenix is more intuitive to witness the transformation of Lin Luoran just staying in the space without showing up.

The female mermaid frowns as she hides in the shoal connecting the Sea of Sin and the beach.

She does not understand who Lin Luoran is talking to. It makes this mermaid alert, however, the more important thing is what Lin Luoran's words reveal.

Is this green dress female cultivator ready to pass the mountain? The mermaid sighs at this young man's arrogance but she also frowns in deep thought. If it is a ridiculous dream that a female cultivator in the Bearing Essence period wants to break through the hill where the Rank Nine monster is guarding, it will be a more foolish dream that these demons want to escape the Sea of Sin.

Whether the green dress female cultivator will die in the hands of the Rank Nine monster or seize the rare chance to sneak through the forbidden area, she will never return to the beach next to the Sea of Sin as she says.

It is the same ending for the demons in the Sea of Sin that Lin Luoran dies in the depths of the monster island or disappears at the horizon—

They will always lose an opportunity which may be the final chance to escape the Sea of Sin.

Faith? The mermaid hiding in the dark struggles for a long time. It is not impossible to take it as the cost. She just feels it difficult because all demons surviving in the Sea of Sin don't have the holy stuff “faith” which sounds the opposite side of them.

Talking about faith with demons of the Sea of Sin is total nonsense.
