Lin Yi saw through the fellow's intentions at a glance. He immediately said, "Since you don't dare to come down, scram. It's pointless even if you keep following us. Once we reach the territory of other spirit beasts, even if we become tributes, it'll be theirs. What's so good about you?"
"Hmph, aren't you being too naive if you think you can coax me away just like that? Let me tell you, all of you are my tributes. None of you can escape! "Primordial King Goumang replied loudly.
"Is that so?" Lin Yi looked at him with a faint smile and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, do you really think I can't do a thing to you if you fly a little higher?"
"Kid, I admit that you are very strong and can pose a sufficient threat to me. However … do you have wings? Can you fly? No matter how powerful that move of yours is, do you think it can injure me? " Primordial King Goumang scoffed. To be on the safe side, he was at least fifty meters above the ground. Ignoring the fact that Lin Yi's Core Qi Fire Bomb could not injure him, even if he could fly that high, he would have sufficient time to dodge in advance.
Lin Yi chuckled in response. Without another word, he suddenly vanished from the spot without any warning or trace.
"He's really freaking fast!" Primordial King Goumang could not help but grumble. He had already witnessed Lin Yi's movement techniques before. It was the first time he had seen such speed, and this time, he was even faster than before. At the very least, he could vaguely grasp his position previously, but this time, he didn't even know where he was going. It was so elusive that it was inconceivable.
"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Primordial King Goumang jumped in fright, but he immediately reacted. He sneered. "True Qi voice transmissions. You sure have a lot of means, but what's the use?"
"You're overthinking things. I'm right here, so why would there be a need for True Qi voice transmissions?" Lin Yi stretched out his hand and patted it from behind. This was a real person, and it was not some Zhen Qi sound transmission at all.
This scared the soul out of Goumang King. For a moment, he forgot to flap his wings and plummeted to the ground like a dead bird. He couldn't figure out how Lin Yi had suddenly appeared behind him. This guy was just a Foundation Establishment perfected human. He didn't have wings, nor could he fly. How did he suddenly appear so high up in the sky?
What was even more horrifying was that while it was falling vertically, Lin Yi was following closely behind it. He was also falling vertically, and there was clearly a powerful and violent fluctuation of True Qi behind him!
King Goumang was scared out of his wits. Without waiting for Lin Yi to make a further move, he no longer cared about his reputation. With a strange cry, he fled in a panic, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Hu! After landing calmly, Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. After racking his brains and using all sorts of methods, he had finally managed to trick this fellow away.
"Boss, what's going on?" Wu Chentian and the others quickly surrounded him and asked.
"Nothing much. I just scared it away." Lin Yi smiled. Although he said it was easy, the situation just now had him breaking out in cold sweat. If he couldn't scare this King Goumang away and allowed him to follow them from the sky, their trip to the Primordial Trials would be over.
This time, he had suddenly transformed into his Yuan Spirit form and flew into the sky before suddenly condensing his Yuan Spirit form. This move sounded simple, but it was actually extremely difficult. After all, the opponent was an existence comparable to a golden core late stage. It wasn't easy to hide from it.
Besides, Lin Yi basically didn't have the ability to protect himself once he was in the air. He would be in danger if the Primordial Goumang King were to fight back. This was truly a risky move. Fortunately, he had done a good job laying the groundwork. His opponent was already frightened by the mere twang of a bow, so he was able to successfully scare him away. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.
"Boss, you're awesome! You're really awesome! " Only then did everyone realize that Lin Yi had been acting all along. First, he had used his strength to kill a giant red-scaled snake, and now he was using his acting to scare off King Goumang. Their boss was indeed skilled in both the pen and the sword. He was practically invincible.
"Big bro Lin Yi, what do we do now?" Ziyu asked. The others all looked at Lin Yi as well. If the fire bats at the start were just a show of strength, then this red-scaled snake and King Goumang had made them truly understand the dangers of the Primordial Trials. It was a fine line between life and death.
"Let's keep going." Lin Yi smiled.
"Then … What if it follows us again?" Yu Bing asked. The Archaic Goumang King wasn't an idiot, and even if he was scared off by Lin Yi this time, he'd come back to his senses very quickly. Even if he didn't come back to his senses right now, he'd wait until his wounds healed up, and it'd be troublesome if he was targeted again.
Everyone looked at Lin Yi. His answer was only eight words. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
This answer wasn't exactly what they wanted, but it was the most honest answer Lin Yi could give. After all, this was the Primordial Trials. Anything could happen, and with his current strength, it was impossible for him to keep everyone safe. Dangers like today would happen again in the future, perhaps even ten times, a hundred times more dangerous than today. All he could do was adapt.
Everyone fell silent. They finally felt a sense of danger they'd never felt before. If they didn't get stronger quickly, they'd become a burden to Lin Yi, and they'd even die in this godforsaken place.
Looking at everyone's serious expressions, Lin Yi's lips curled up a little. This was the expression he wanted. The reason why he'd decided to let everyone participate in the Primordial Trials wasn't just because of anything else. The most important thing was to train them.
After the scare, Lin Yi brought Lingshan and the others on their way. The other two paths, however, weren't as lucky- it wasn't just King Goumang and the red-scaled snake that had to loot human tributes. Other spirit beasts that had reached a certain level had the same task as well.
This was the Primordial Trials that happened once in a thousand years, and everyone was thinking about the river of consciousness and all sorts of miraculous encounters. They didn't think that what awaited them here was a complete massacre.
