With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 539 Inheritance (2)

When he pulled his hand back into the barrier, the baboon suddenly stopped.

It looked around itself as if it was looking for something, but then it revealed a look like it wasn't able to find what it was looking for.

After stomping around for a bit, the baboon finally gave up and moved away from the barrier again.

Inside of the barrier, the elders all looked at the baboon leaving in shock as if they couldn't understand what was happening.

One moment, this baboon was charging right at them and the next, the baboon suddenly stopped charging at them. It was as if the baboon had suddenly lost sight of them.

But that shouldn't make sense since they were very visible right now.

Lin Fan on the other hand had an interested look on his face as he stared at the barrier.

He gave a nod and said, "Un, so it seems to be this way…"

His voice trailed off as he kept looking at the barrier in front of him instead of looking at the baboon.

Senior Brother Ying had come back to his senses from the shock of the baboon suddenly leaving and he noticed what Lin Fan was doing, so he asked, "Sect master, did you find something?"

Lin Fan didn't answer at first as he suddenly raised his hand once more.

He brought it up to the barrier and stuck it out once more.

As soon as he did, the baboon who had been leaving suddenly turned around and looked in their direction.

With a roar, that baboon started running at them once again.

Lin Fan watched this baboon for a few seconds before pulling his hand back.

Once again, the baboon stopped as soon as he pulled his hand back into the barrier.

The baboon gave a frustrated roar this time before slamming the ground and walking off.

With this, Lin Fan gave a nod as if he had confirmed his theory.

Some of the elders also seemed to have picked up on something when they saw this.

After all, only once was a coincidence and a second time meant…

Lin Fan turned to look at the elders and said, "It seems that this barrier is what's preventing the baboon from seeing us." He narrowed his eyes before saying, "If my guesses are correct, this barrier should be creating a safe zone around the exit gate that keeps these spirit beasts out."

After the elders heard this, all of them knitted their brows.

There were some that had already guessed this, but they didn't dare confirm it like Lin Fan did.

There was a moment of silence before Senior Brother Ying asked, "Why did they do this?"

Lin Fan shook his head at first, but then…he said, "If I had to guess, it's most likely because they are treating this as a game. They created this safe zone so that the players would be able to adjust to this Minor World and then slowly explore it."

All of the elders knitted their brows again after hearing this.

Senior Brother Ying took the lead to ask, "Why?"

Lin Fan just gave a shrug as he said, "How would I know? I can't understand the mind of someone I've never met before."

The elders all gave sighs when they heard this.

They realized that he was right and that they were depending too much on Lin Fan.

Since he had told them what kind of barrier it was, they had assumed that he knew everything about this situation.

But even if he did know, it was just because he figured it out with his eyes and senses and not because he had found anything.

After another long silence, Senior Brother Ying asked, "What should we do then?"

Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "For now, let's focus on our base. We don't know how long this barrier will last, so we should prepare our defense while we can."

The elders all gave nods of agreement since this seemed reasonable.

While there was this barrier here that seemed to keep the spirit beast away, they had no idea how long it would remain. After all, it wasn't them who had created this barrier, so they had no way of controlling it.

If they relied on it and it suddenly went down, they would be put in a very bad position.

Lin Fan then added, "After we finish setting up the defenses, we'll send a group outside of the barrier to explore this place. It will be a smaller group than this, so be prepared."

All of them nodded to show that they understood.

Why would he make the group even smaller?

It was so that they would have enough elders to guard the camp.

The most important thing was protecting the disciples who had come to get experience.

They could have sent these disciples out, but they had brought these disciples here for experience in the first place. If they just had the disciples leave that soon, they wouldn't get any experience at all.

So what they were planning to do was to scout out the area outside the barrier first.

They had only seen a baboon in the Qi Condensation Realm so far, that didn't mean that there were only Qi Condensation Realm spirit beasts here.

Before checking this, they wouldn't send all of the disciples away.

But they also couldn't leave these disciples alone, so they were putting more elders in the camp to protect them.

When they came back, all of the disciples were excited to hear what they had found, but the elders just called the elders that remained in camp to a meeting. The disciples were all disappointed as they were sent off to prepare defenses.

The meeting was very short since there weren't any elders that went against Lin Fan's plan.

They all felt that this was the best plan for now based on the current situation, so they were all willing to follow it.

Since they were willing to follow his plan, there was nothing else left for them to do.

Lin Fan gathered all of the strongest elders, except for a few that were left to guard the camp just in case anything happened. One of the Golden Core Realm elders from the Hidden Dragon Sect would be the final line of defense in this case.

After that, all of them set off again to the barrier that they had found.

When they came back, the first thing that they did was make sure that the same baboon from before was gone.

After checking the area for a bit and making sure that it was gone, Lin Fan was the one that led the way out.

As soon as they came out, there was a sound that rang out.

But this time it wasn't the roaring of a beast.

Rather, it seemed like it was something skittering, like something that had many legs coming at them.

They looked at the forest in front of them with cautious gazes, but they saw nothing at all until…a horde of spiders suddenly came out of the woods.

But these weren't just any normal spiders.

These were giant spiders that were as tall as they were.

These spiders charged right at them in a wave, as if they wanted to catch them.

As they charged, they even shot out webs at them.

However, none of the elders were panicking because they could sense the aura coming from these spiders.

These spiders were only on the Qi Gathering Realm.

In their eyes, it was no different from a group of ants.

This time, Lin Fan didn't personally step forward to take care of these spiders.

Instead, it was two elders who went forward.

All of the elders here were in the Qi Condensation Realm, so they could all take care of these spiders with just a wave of their hand.

The only reason it was two of them instead of one was because they were worried that something might happen.

One of the elders just stood back and watched as the other elder sent out a palm at the spiders.

The force from the palm scattered all of the webs shot at them and then destroyed all of the spiders in front of the elder.

The spiders that this palm didn't hit couldn't help stopping and staring at this elder with their many eyes. It was as if they were starting to feel fear towards this elder that had just destroyed so many of them.

A few of the spiders couldn't help moving back after seeing this, but then there was a large spider leg that suddenly came out of the forest.

This large spider leg stabbed one of the spiders that had moved back and killed it before dragging it away into the brush.

There was a munching sound that came from the brush after that spider disappeared.

Then the large leg returned, but there were also several other large legs that came out with it.

There was a spider that was several meters tall that came out of the trees.

When it appeared, all of the other spiders couldn't help lowering themselves a bit, almost as if they were cowering.

It was clear that this one was the boss of these spiders.

It was most likely the mother of these spiders.

But the two elders didn't panic at all.

The elder who had been keeping watch revealed a faint smile as he said, "It's just a Foundation Realm spider. Do you need my help?"

The elder who had sent out that palm also said with a smile, "Just leave it to me."

With a single palm that mother spider was crushed into the ground.

It didn't even know what had happened before it lost its life.

When the other spiders saw this, they immediately started running away.

Seeing this, the elders didn't bother chasing after them.
