CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 143: [ESCAPE] (6400)_3

Chen Yan was also desperate to leave this monster village...

He understood clearly that staying here any longer was a dead end!

The weak Wooden Bowl could not protect him at all... and after offending Supervisor Black Stone earlier, it was obvious that Supervisor Black Stone’s influence in the village was much stronger than the weak and isolated Wooden Bowl.

The new supervisor didn’t bother to hide his hostility towards him and might find an excuse to kill him at any moment.

Wooden Bowl... was powerless!

Staying meant certain death.

"Then it’s decided." Du Li also made up his mind, taking a deep breath: "From now on, you will be my assistant!"

"When do we leave?" Chen Yan asked.

"How about tomorrow night?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment, looking at Du Li: "I have a suggestion."

"Go ahead."

"Since we’ve decided to run, let’s not wait! If conditions allow, we should leave tonight! Anyway, there’s still a long time before the villagers wake up and go to work."

"Tonight?"

Du Li was taken aback, not expecting Chen Yan to act so decisively.

"You could be sold off—we don’t know when the transaction will happen; what if it’s tomorrow? Then everything would be ruined.

And why not run now? Do you have something you need to pack up?

We have no reason to waste another night."

Du Li gritted his teeth: "You’re right! We have no reason to waste another night! Then let’s go tonight! But I do need to pack some things... I’ve been preparing for this escape plan for a month and have been storing food. I need to make a trip to get it.

Otherwise, we won’t get far."

Then, Du Li and Chen Yan agreed to set off separately now and meet at the edge of the forest on the east side of the village.

Both Chen Yan and Du Li were familiar with that place; it was where Chen Yan cut wood every day — in Wooden Bowl’s private area.

However, Chen Yan expressed his concern: Although it was "resting time" and the monsters in the village were sleeping, running out recklessly might still get him discovered, as those monsters were very keen-sensed.

Du Li looked at Chen Yan doubtfully, then pulled out something that made Chen Yan’s heart race wildly!

A talisman!!

"Where is your action gear?" Du Li asked Chen Yan.

"Lost it," Chen Yan replied calmly: "Encountered some special circumstances."

Du Li didn’t delve deeper—perhaps time was too tight to ask more questions.

Du Li directly handed this talisman to Chen Yan: "I only have two Invisibility Talismans left, this one’s for you!"

Chen Yan sensed a bit of doubt in Du Li towards him, but fortunately, these doubts weren’t enough to shake Du Li’s trust in him—after all, they had "Suppressing River Demon Pagoda" as a secret code to fall back on.

After Du Li left, Chen Yan immediately and carefully examined the Invisibility Talisman.

In this place, there was no Primordial Qi between heaven and earth, and the Primordial Qi in his body couldn’t be used, rendering a cultivator useless.

Chen Yan’s talismans were all stored in his storage equipment and couldn’t be accessed!

And even if they could be accessed, they would be useless... because there was no Primordial Qi.

But once this talisman was clasped in his hand, Chen Yan immediately sensed a trace of a Primordial Qi fluctuation within it!

This talisman actually came with its own reserve of Primordial Qi?

Indeed!

Chen Yan quickly calculated in his mind: In places without external Primordial Qi, only equipment with its own reserve of Primordial Qi could be used!

So... this technically wasn’t a talisman anymore.

But rather akin to a scroll?

Essentially, all talismans are just symbols drawn on paper, and when used, the symbols attract the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to complete the spell.

But actually, Chen Yan also had a "scroll-type" talisman.

The "Mother’s Love Talisman" given by Gu Qingyi at the end was actually a kind of scroll.

That woman sealed a [Formless Tribulation-breaking Slash] directly into the talisman.

Storing both Primordial Qi and power into it.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a talisman anymore, but a scroll.

·

The talisman in Chen Yan’s hand wasn’t made of talisman paper but seemed to be made of some kind of leather.

After feeling it for a couple of moments, Chen Yan stopped wasting time analyzing it.

He turned around and began digging in the corner of the wooden hut.

After some digging, he unearthed his personal equipment: an Alchemy Furnace, Ring.

These things had all been brought with Chen Yan to this world, and fortunately, after being captured by Wooden Bowl, Wooden Bowl showed no interest in them and paid no attention.

Perhaps in the eyes of the young, inexperienced Wooden Bowl, these were nothing but worthless stones.

They weren’t taken by Wooden Bowl but were instead thrown to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan dug a hole in the wooden hut and carefully buried the items inside—when going out to work during the day, he didn’t dare wear them on him, afraid that other monsters knowledgeable about such things might see them.

After putting on the items, Chen Yan estimated the time in his mind.

The leather talisman, torn gently by Chen Yan, was then slapped onto himself...

The familiar Primordial Qi fluctuations almost brought Chen Yan to tears, as he felt the Primordial Qi enveloping his body—his figure quickly vanished.

Invisibility Talisman!

·

The Invisibility Talisman not only concealed Chen Yan’s form from sight but also hid his aura.

Things produced from the Domain Realm were indeed advanced!

After praising it in his heart, Chen Yan dared not waste any more time and immediately left with his items—but before leaving, Chen Yan carefully and thoroughly erased the crude map that Du Li had drawn on the ground earlier with his foot!
