After resting up in this place for a bit, Lin Fan’s group found that…their wounds were healing faster than normal.
Their wounds were too small for the healing powder, so they had been planning on healing it naturally.
But the rate that the wounds healed at was definitely faster than they should have healed naturally.
At the same time, they found that their spiritual energy recovered at a rate that was far beyond what should have been normal. It was almost as if there was something that was forcing spiritual energy into them.
They didn’t understand what it was until they stepped out of the cave.
The moment that they did, they found that there seemed to be something missing.
lightsnοvεl It was as if there was something that had been in the air before that was now gone and they couldn’t help feeling strange because it was gone.
But why was it gone?
It definitely had something to do with the cave that they had been in.
It was as if there was something that changed with the cave…
The plants, it was definitely the plants.
They didn’t know what it was about the plants, but it seemed like they released something that healed them up and helped them recover.
It was only Lin Fan that had a different perception of this…
It was a safe zone, this was a safe zone that was created to help them heal up.
In many games that he played, there were always safe zones that were placed right before a boss fight to help the player recover before fighting the boss.
This trial that he had just finished was considered the fourth trial and the last trial before the final trial. So it could be considered the last fight before the final boss fight.
But of course, things in real life weren’t supposed to be as convenient…
Yet, the pillar from the fourth trial had turned into these plants that had transformed into the safe zone.
Feng Yu…really was something else that he even came up with a safe zone for this fourth trial.
Most normal people wouldn’t have bothered staying in this place and missed out on this safe zone. It was only because Lin Fan had been able to subdue the Control Toad that they had stayed and enjoyed the safe zone.
But normal people wouldn’t have come up with a safe zone for their trial in the first place.
Only someone that was deeply influenced by gaming culture would even come up with this idea in the first place.
That made Lin Fan even more certain about Feng Yu’s other identity…
Still, they definitely benefited from this safe zone as they were completely rested when they left the cave.
As they came out, they were also surrounded by the spirit beast puppets of the Control Toad.
Each elder seemed like they were paired up with two of these spirit beast puppets.
Though they looked like they didn’t want to be with them, they still allowed these spirit beast puppets to come along with them.
The Control Toad might have made them puppets, but the elders were the ones that were in charge of them. That was because the Control Toad had an ability that Greeny didn’t.
Unless Greeny gave orders, its puppets would never be able to act.
Greeny wasn’t able to let others control its puppets other than Lin Fan since they were connected to it because of the seeds.
But the Control Toad was different.
The Control Toad controlled the puppets with the Control Worms, so as long as there was some way for the elders to contact the Control Worms, then they would be able to control these puppets.
As for how they would contact the Control Worms, it was naturally more Control Worms.
Each of the elders had a Control Worm that they could use to contact the Control Worms in the puppets that followed them, allowing them to control these puppets.
But it was a bit traumatizing for a few of these elders.
After all, they had been controlled by these Control Worms at one point.
So now that they had to work with these Control Worms, it was a bit hard for them.
Still, they sucked it up and worked with these Control Worms to control the puppets.
It was what they needed to do right now.
Regardless of their personal feelings about this matter, they did understand the importance of having these puppets and the power that these puppets brought.
After all, almost all of these puppets were in the Qi Condensation Realm. There were only a few that were in the Foundation Realm and all of these had been left to the disciples to protect them.
With these puppets, it could be said that their power had basically doubled.
But it did feel wrong working with these puppets and the Control Toad.
After leaving the cave, they immediately headed back in the direction of the camp.
It didn’t take them long to reach the barrier since they hadn’t gone far in the first place.
But as soon as they arrived at the barrier, Lin Fan said, “Wait, I won’t go in yet.”
The elders were surprised when they heard this, but they immediately realized that he must have a reason for saying this, so they waited for him to explain.
Lin Fan looked down at the dots on his hand before saying, “There’s no knowing what will happen if I go there, so I want to evacuate all of the disciples first. We’ll create a camp here and leave some spirit beasts to protect them before going in to face the final trial.”
The elders slowly nodded in agreement with this.
They recognized that this was indeed the best idea since it would ensure that the disciples would be safe.
Though there was the risk of losing their only way out of here…
They could have sent the disciples back, but if they did, there was no guarantee that they would be safe in the wilderness either.
So it was best if they protected them here.
With this plan in mind, they split off into two groups.
One that would prepare the camp while the other went in and got the disciples out.
Lin Fan was naturally the one that was in charge of setting up the camp.
The one that led the group to evacuate the disciples was Senior Brother Ying since he was the most trusted one out of everyone.
Before he left, he said to Lin Fan, “Sect master, I promise that I’ll bring everyone out in one piece even if it costs my life.”
Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this.
This Senior Brother Ying, why did he want to set a death flag for himself like this?
Lin Fan just patted him on the shoulder and said, “Just come back safely. If you can’t save everyone, then save who you can and bring yourself back safe. We’ll do our best to save the rest.”
Senior Brother Ying revealed a strange look when he heard this, but he gave a nod of agreement in the end.
In the end, it was better to look out for oneself before thinking of others. That was just how it was in this world.
Though he felt that it was something that he or the Love Sect should do.
After Senior Brother Ying left, Lin Fan went to the Control Toad to set up the camp.
During their way here, they had encountered other spirit beasts which they had subdued and turned into puppets.
These were the ones that they would turn into guards for the camp.
But before the camp was set up by the others, Lin Fan would set out with the Control Toad to see if they could find any other beasts to capture before they went in.
Any extra spirit beasts that they brought would certainly help them in facing the trial, so there was no reason not to find more of these.
When Lin Fan came back with the Control Toad, they were completely surrounded by spirit beasts that all had powerful auras.
It seemed that they had been very successful in their hunt.
At the same time, Senior Brother Ying came out with the disciples following him.
It seemed that he hadn’t cursed himself with this death flag and had been able to find everyone.
Now that they were all gathered, the disciples looked at Lin Fan in awe when they saw him controlling these spirit beasts.
They had heard of spirit beast tamers before, but they had never seen anything like this.
With everyone gathered, Lin Fan told them what the situation was.
He could have kept them in the dark, but he believed that they would be strong enough to accept this.
What he didn’t expect was that…they were so strong that they wanted to face this with him.
There were many disciples that volunteered to go with them to this final trial which made the elders shake their heads with bitter smiles on their faces.
They weren’t looking for volunteers, they were just hoping that the disciples would stay still if they learned the truth.
After he finished his speech, Lin Fan said, “I will go in now and take care of this final trial. When it is over, we shall return to the Love Sect in triumph.”
The disciples cheered and volunteered some more, but even the elders cheered when hearing this.
This was the final trial, the final battle, so they were all trying to use this chance to quell their fears.
