All of the members were comforted by An Lin one after another, and in any case, their emotional turmoil was somewhat alleviated.
An Lin stroked Xiaoze's soft hair and led the way as he consoled everyone.
Everyone sighed with emotion. An Lin was simply too gentle at this moment, as if he was radiating the light of a mother!
Even Cassidy and Merlin, who were being pummeled, were struck by this feeling. This was because even when An Lin was pummeling someone, his expression was one of great compassion and redemption!
To put it in simpler terms, An Lin was bashing them with an expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good"!
What a gentle person he was …
"Hahahaha … Merlin, look at that giant centipede! Its legs aren't symmetrical, hahaha …" Cassidy pointed at the mutant beast in the distance and chortled with glee.
"Haha … Cassidy, that rock over there is also very hilarious. It looks a lot like you …" Merlin was also very elated.
He felt like this was the happiest moment of his life. There were jokes everywhere, and he was constantly making people laugh.
However, their laughter was extremely piercing to Tina and Tobias.
One of them was feeling extremely inferior, while the other was desperately thinking about her deceased lover. What kind of experience was it to suddenly have two people laughing hysterically off to the side?
In any case, An Lin could already sense the killing intent …
In order to ease the tension, he turned to Cassidy and Merlin with a gentle smile. "Seeing as you two like to laugh so much, how about I tell you a joke?"
Cassidy and Merlin were ecstatic to hear that there was a joke, and they immediately chortled in agreement.
An Lin spoke in a slow voice, "Once upon a time, there was a wolf cub. It was a vegetarian and didn't eat meat, and its parents were extremely worried about it. However, one day, its parents saw the wolf cub chasing a rabbit! They were very elated, but they were soon dumbstruck again … "
"Why?" Merlin asked.
An Lin replied in a slow voice, "Because … after the wolf cub caught the rabbit, it said 'hand over the carrot' …"
Merlin: "…"
Cassidy: "…"
An Lin continued, "A long time ago, there was a hide-and-seek association, and their president was very powerful!"
"How powerful?" Cassidy asked.
"A few decades have passed, but their leader still hasn't been found," An Lin replied.
Merlin: "…"
Cassidy: "…"
An Lin felt that the atmosphere was right.
"One day, a doctor told a patient that there was bad news and good news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
"The patient thought about it and said that he would listen to the bad news first."
"The doctor said that the patient was prescribed the wrong medicine by an amnesiac doctor. The poison is too deep, and he won't live more than a week!"
The patient asked in despair. What's the good news? "
"The doctor is confused. What good news?"
The surrounding atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Gasp …" Cassidy and Merlin drew a sharp intake of breath as their smiles froze on their faces.
Was this a joke? An Lin called this a joke?!
Thus, Cassidy and Merlin's smiles became a lot more subdued …
An Lin nodded with satisfaction and continued to lead the group forward.
After advancing for half a day, they arrived at a region with a golden ground.
"This is the Golden Earth Realm. If you go to the side, you'll arrive at the Crystal Realm. There's a very good chance that there will be Crystal Essence Crystals there." Xiao Ze pointed in a direction as he spoke to An Lin and the others.
An Lin nodded and began to walk toward the direction Xiao Ze had pointed.
He stepped onto the ground to find that it was extremely solid, as if it had been constructed from some kind of alloy. A cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage probably wouldn't even be able to tear through this kind of ground.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a drastic change occurred.
The ground directly in front of An Lin and the others cracked open as a golden light burst forth.
A mutant beast over a thousand feet tall with a vast aura suddenly appeared before everyone.
Its body was like a gargantuan elephant, but its head consisted of four snake heads, each of which exuded a menacing, frosty light.
"Who would have thought that there would be a monster that would dare to challenge us? Let's go," An Lin said.
Tina lowered her head in silence, Xue Zhantian trembled uncontrollably in An Lin's arms, and Xiao Ze held onto An Lin's arm tightly.
Tobias had already raised his head to look up at the starry sky, while Cassidy and Merlin were chuckling like idiots.
An Lin: "…"
Weren't they supposed to be Return to Void Stage mighty figures? Why did they become like this when it came to battle?
An Lin finally understood why this mutant beast wasn't afraid of them. All of them had been dominated by their emotions, and their battle intent had been completely subdued. They were nowhere near as fearsome as they had been before entering this place, so it was no wonder that they would be targeted by a slightly more powerful mutant beast.
The mutant beast's four snake heads looked at everyone with greed in their eyes. "What a rich aura! Only the flesh and blood of such a powerful being would suit me! None of you can escape! "
An expression of despair appeared on Xue Zhantian's face. "It's over, it's over, it's saying that we can't escape, so we're all dead for sure …"
Xiao Ze's brows furrowed. "There must be some kind of earth-shattering conspiracy going on here."
Tina tugged on An Lin's hair with her tiny hands. "Giant An Lin, what do I have to do to become as exceptional as this Elephant Ba?"
An Lin: "…"
"Hiss!" One of the snake heads suddenly opened its cavernous mouth before expelling a cloud of dark green poisonous gas toward everyone. This poisonous gas was extremely terrifying, and even the sturdy golden ground began to melt and corrode in the area it engulfed.
An Lin immediately released his Gundams upon seeing that everyone was still standing there in a daze.
The two Gundams unleashed their Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation to keep the dark green poisonous gas at bay.
"Oh? I didn't think you two would have some tricks up your sleeves. " The Elephant Ba chortled with glee as one of its snake heads opened its mouth, upon which a streak of black light pierced through the poisonous gas before crashing into the protective barrier.
Boom! A fearsome explosion of energy and a sharp screeching sound reverberated through the air.
The Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation began to crack open from the black streak of light.
An Lin's expression shifted, and he knew that he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
He looked at everyone with a gentle expression. "If that's the case, then let me protect all of you …"
Within his sea of vital energy, lightning erupted from An Kirin's body.
At the same time, his Golden Void Lightning Robe appeared on An Lin's body, from which golden light flashed and lightning snakes danced.
A vast and boundless aura of extreme yang emanated from his body before sweeping through the surroundings.
An Lin gripped his Evil-Slaying Sword as Wings of Wind materialized on his back, and he abruptly charged out of the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation before pouncing toward the mutant beast.
The dark green poisonous gas approached An Lin before being blasted into nothingness by the Golden Void Lightning Robe.
The Elephant Ba mutant beast was shocked to see this. An Lin was simply too fast, and his aura was also extremely powerful. It immediately made a decision to attack An Lin with all its might.
The five snake heads opened their mouths at the same time, and five extremely fearsome powers — poison mist, black light, frost, flames, and lightning — converged together before pouncing toward An Lin.
An Lin gripped his Evil-Slaying Sword as Golden Void Lightning erupted forth, and he slashed his sword toward the Elephant Ba.
Golden light dazzled the world as an extremely dazzling bolt of Golden Void Lightning sliced through the air, slicing the Elephant Ba's attack in half with the power to annihilate space itself.
"How could this be …"
An expression of shock and horror appeared on the Elephant Ba's face. It clearly didn't think that its full-power attack would be sliced apart by a single sword strike from An Lin.
The Golden Void Lightning continued onward and struck the Elephant Ba's body, slicing its gargantuan body in half. The Golden Void Lightning also completely exploded at this moment, transforming the area within a radius of over a thousand feet into a sea of lightning.
The Elephant Ba let loose an enraged roar before falling to the ground, and its body was reduced to charcoal amid the explosion of lightning.
An Lin's golden robe dissipated, and he heaved a faint sigh of relief as he stowed his longsword away.
The Elephant Ba was only at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage, so he could still deal with it, but what if he encountered an even more powerful enemy?
How was he supposed to defeat an enemy at the Return to Void Stage?
With this in mind, he turned to look at everyone who was being protected by the Gundams with a pained expression, but also a hint of tenderness.
"So be it. Let me shield you from the wind and rain, even if I have to give up my life …"
A faint sigh was heard. It was rather helpless, but it was still so gentle.
