Chapter 69: Damsel in distress

Lin Fan immediately had Brainy use its pets to scout the source of that cry.

In just a few seconds, Brainy found that it was a girl who was currently being surrounded by three rough looking men, pushing her back against a tree.

If Lin Fan didn't know better, he would have thought that this was the most stereotypical case of a hero saving a damsel in distress ever, but somehow there was a part of him that wanted to help her. Maybe he just thought it would be cool to act like a hero for once?

As Lin Fan approached he made sure to conceal himself until he was close enough to see the situation with his own eyes.

Lin Fan was surprised to see who the girl was. It was actually the girl from the bus, the one that had received Lord Mu's other recommendation slot.

Other than Yang Kai who he had already marked for death, he didn't have much of an impression of the other three who had come with them. But still, since this girl had received Mu Bo Hai's recommendation, there was a chance that he could become friends with her.

Lin Fan could tell from the aura released by the three that all three of them were in the Silver Realm, but that didn't make sense to him. Lin Fan could tell from the aura from Yang Kai that he was in the Gold Realm and since this girl was also recommended by Mu Bo Hai, she should also be the heir of a powerful family. Yet here she was being threatened by these three thugs.

When Lin Fan swept his spiritual sense over the girl, he found that she was surprisingly only in the Bronze Realm!

What was going on?

This girl was only in the Bronze Realm and yet she had the courage to come into this dangerous Inheritance Realm?

Why did Mu Bo Hai give one of his recommendation slots to her?

But Lin Fan didn't have time to worry about that now since those three men were getting closer and closer. As they approached they slowly raised their hand towards her mouth as she continued to shout out for help.

Lin Fan came out from the tree he was hiding behind and confidently moved over towards the three men as he said, "Alright, how about we stop here?"

Once they heard this, all three men stopped and turned towards the source of this sound.

The moment they saw Lin Fan, all three of them started waving their hands as they said in stuttering voices, "This...this isn't what it looks like. You...you can't make assumptions."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "I think it's quite clear what this is, there's really no way to make a mistake."

The three of them looked at Lin Fan with wronged looks, but they no longer tried to explain. They had already come to terms that there was nothing they could say to change Lin Fan's mind.

After hesitating for a bit, one of them suddenly said, "Since it's come to this, we'll go all out with you!"

The other two still hesitated as they looked at the one who had suddenly gained a burst of courage.

The one who had suddenly changed his tone said, "There's no other way for us now, the only thing we can do is silence them or we will lose all our prestige. It's a good thing we're in an enclosed realm now, we just need to silence them both."

Seeing that the other two were still hesitating, the one who became braver said "Of course, we'll silence the girl after we've had our fun with her."

At this, the other two swallowed a mouthful of saliva before finally making up their minds.

With a thought, there were three beasts that suddenly appeared beside them. Then with tacit understanding, all three of them spread out in different directions with their beasts before launching a three pronged attack on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan saw this and didn't panic at all, as he had Brainy activate the parasite seeds that he had placed inside the three of them.

The parasite seed hadn't fully spread since it had only been a few minutes since they were injected, but they were still strong enough to completely freeze these three men.

As for their beasts, Lin Fan raised his hand to stop the two on the edges before slamming them together at the one in the center. All three of these beasts felt their heads spin as they fell to the ground, unable to stand up at all.

The three men fell face down on the ground in front of Lin Fan, looking up at him in fear.

They clearly never expected this man playing hero to be this strong, but once they caught a good look at Lin Fan's face, they suddenly recognized him.

He had been one of the seeded participants, it was no wonder he was this strong!

Lin Fan was about to finish the three of them, but then he received a mental message from Brainy that stopped him in his tracks.

Brainy had noticed that there were others heading in their direction and it seemed like it was a large group being led by someone who was in the Gold Realm.

Lin Fan looked down at the three of them again and found that they all had the same symbol on their clothes. Lin Fan asked Brainy if it could find this same symbol on the clothes of the larger group and Brainy did find this symbol.

It was clear that these three were a part of the larger group and that larger group was coming towards them right now.

Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before knocking the three of them out.

After they were knocked out, Lin Fan had Brainy release the half developed parasite seeds and placed new parasite seeds into these three.

If he just killed these three, it would mean having to fight the larger group eventually. It was better to take care of all of them right now.

Lin Fan went over to the girl and quickly took her by the hand.

At first the girl struggled a bit, but when she saw that it was someone new and that her assailants were on the ground, she quickly stopped struggling and decided to follow him.

As they passed by the three on the ground, what Lin Fan didn't notice was that the girl's tongue quickly came out of her mouth and pierced the hearts of the three on the ground before coming back into her mouth.

What was even more incredible was that Lin Fan and Brainy both had their spiritual senses spread out, looking for anyone that was near them, but they hadn't been able to sense the movement of this girl's tongue at all.

Brainy's spiritual senses were even stronger than Lin Fan's which was already at the level of the Platinum Realm. This meant that this girl's tongue had moved at a speed that was equal to the Legendary Realm!

Before Lin Fan had arrived like a knight in shining armour, this girl had actually been manipulating these three men.

At first, these three men had been making their way over to their group when they suddenly saw this girl being chased by beasts.

They quickly saved her and even offered to protect her, which she had expected.

As they approached their group, when they thought that they had a chance with her, this girl suddenly cried out for help.

They didn't understand what was going on and started approaching her, but they never expected her to swing out and slap them away.

They knew that this situation would be bad for them if they were discovered like this, so out of desperation, they wanted to cover her mouth and slowly calm her down.

It was at this time that Lin Fan had shown up and they were forced into a corner.

Of course, the girl had planned all of this since she had already sensed Lin Fan nearby. Since the beginning her goal had been Lin Fan.

Ever since she met Lin Fan on the bus, she could sense a strange power inside him.

Now that he was holding her hand, she could feel that strange power even more clearly.

As they quickly ran off, there was a deep and complicated look that appeared in the girl's eyes.
