Chapter 1002: Chapter 617: Hao Datong Enters the Poison Swamp, Lu Lin Gets Deceived

Lu Lin didn’t have the heart to pay attention to the situation outside the tree hole at the moment.

Hao Datong ran off, but once he’s outside, catching him will be easy.

The most important task now is mining... no, it’s treasure collection.

Soul-dripping Tree Crystal, this is indeed the Soul-dripping Tree Crystal.

Lu Lin had never heard of this term in the Humans’ civilization of the Longyuan World, perhaps some Bosses owned the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree but never chose to break the tree trunk open to investigate it.

Or perhaps other Soul Droplet Ancient Trees don’t have the ability to convert Soul-dripping Tree Sap into Soul-dripping Tree Crystal.

No matter what the reason is, right now, in front of Lu Lin, it’s a massive opportunity.

An enormous opportunity.

If he could absorb all these Soul-dripping Tree Crystals, Lu Lin couldn’t even estimate the level his Soul Power would reach.

Seven Changes? Eight Changes? Or Nine Changes? Ten Changes?

Or even more.

Inside the tree hole, Lu Lin, who was working diligently, felt like a busy little bee, continuously collecting.

First, finding the gaps that might exist between the Soul-dripping Tree Crystals, then using the broken knife to pry large pieces of Soul-dripping Tree Crystal, and storing them in the Storage Ring.

The process was merely repetitive, yet while working, Lu Lin inevitably came into contact with the Soul-dripping Tree Crystal, and occasionally it would break open, releasing a massive amount of concentrated gaseous Soul Power.

Lu Lin wasn’t cultivating.

He swore that all he thought about at this time was collecting Soul-dripping Tree Crystal, and didn’t have the time or energy for cultivation.

But even so, his Soul Power kept escalating.

A few hours later, Lu Lin’s Soul Power had reached the Peak of Four Transformations.

Peak of Four Transformations, this level of Soul Power, within General Mountain, probably only falls below that of Saint Lord Lv Potian and Elder Ting Yu, no other elder could surpass Lu Lin’s Soul Power level.

It’s just, this was too easy.

Feeling the abundant Soul Power, Lu Lin was even shocked for a moment, taking quite a while to realize it was due to his accidental absorption of some Soul Power.

If people on the outside knew that enhancing Soul Power could be this simple, they’d all go crazy, wouldn’t they?

Feeling amused, Lu Lin quickly continued his work.

Inside the tree hole, there was a large ring of Soul-dripping Tree Crystal, and there was also a full layer on the ground. So far, Lu Lin had only pried the Soul-dripping Tree Crystal from the wall, and had collected just a third of it.

Keep at it, hang in there.

While Lu Lin was working hard, outside the tree hole, Hao Datong was secretly pleased.

He first controlled the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree’s branches to circle nearby, so even if Lu Lin suddenly emerged, he hadn’t gone far and wasn’t worried about Lu Lin’s blame.

But as time passed.

Hao Datong noticed Lu Lin hadn’t come out yet, and his eager heart became active again.

Perhaps Lu Lin encountered some difficulties inside the tree hole?

Or maybe there’s some Great Power inheritance or Secret Realm within the tree hole?

Or, the consciousness of the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree hadn’t been extinguished, treating Lu Lin as an invader, resulting in mutual destruction?

Anyway, all possibilities existed, but the most important point was, Lu Lin couldn’t emerge, or at least wouldn’t emerge within a short time.

This was the best news Hao Datong had heard in days.

He no longer wanted to fix his Spirit, nor did he desire further advancement, and the idea of capturing General Mountain had long been dismissed.

Escape.

That’s the most crucial. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

After reaching this conclusion, Hao Datong quickly made a decision.

Escape.

The further away, the better.

The more hidden, the better.

And now, being transformed into a tree branch, Hao Datong was even more concealed.

Previously he thought Lu Lin was attracted by the Sacrificer of the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Clan, and the Heavenly Earth Grinding Wheel he created.

Now he had become a tree branch, though a bit unique, by staying hidden, avoiding Lu Lin’s Tracking is very simple.

He even devised an extremely secure method.

As long as Lu Lin doesn’t discover him, he would rather hide for a hundred years, or even longer.

After this failure, Hao Datong felt he lacked patience; if he had enough patience and didn’t imprison Li Xuanjin, Elder Cheng Yu wouldn’t have brought Lu Lin over, and naturally, none of these events would have occurred.

Patience.

Reflecting on himself, Hao Datong was willing to strive for self-improvement.

This time, escaping from Lu Lin’s capture marks the beginning of his patience practice.

He hopes that through this practice, he can become more careful and prudent in the future.

Without identifying direction, Hao Datong flew left and right according to his whim, and every few kilometers he’d stop to check the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree’s defenses for sudden incidents.

Indeed, a considerable amount of time had passed and Lu Lin never came.

Hao Datong felt delight towards his plan.

The escape route simply had no route, he doesn’t even know where he would go, how could Lu Lin possibly find him?

Moreover, the optimal outcome would be Lu Lin perishing inside the tree trunk.

Of course, even if Lu Lin truly died, Hao Datong would still hide for over a hundred years, ensuring Lu Lin or anyone from General Mountain wouldn’t search for him here before he left.
