38: Chapter 38 Void Travel

He had to get home as soon as possible.

However, at that moment, the giant bear suddenly moved.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking wind, the giant bear's figure vanished into thin air from its spot.

Lin Fan's pupils suddenly constricted.

"So fast!"

He didn't have time to think and immediately leaned down to roll to the side.

Almost at the same time he rolled.

The giant bear's figure suddenly appeared where he had just been standing, a massive claw sweeping down with a powerful wind.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed through the woods as the giant claw slammed into a large tree over two meters in diameter.

Four claw marks, deep enough to see bone, were instantly gouged into the hard trunk.

It was nearly snapped in half, wood chips flying and splashing in all directions.

Lin Fan, having rolled to the side, steadied himself.

Looking back, he was instantly broken into a cold sweat.

Luckily, his reaction was fast enough.

Although the undying robe could block this blow.

But he didn't want to personally experience the feeling of being flattened by a giant bear.

Having missed its strike, the giant bear let out a low growl and suddenly turned its head.

In the dim night.

Its crimson eyes grew even more eerie, locking firmly onto Lin Fan's figure.

Lin Fan snapped back to his senses and immediately sprinted toward the direction of the Void Walk.

His speed was extremely fast, turning into a dark shadow weaving through the woods.

But that giant bear's speed was even faster.

Just as he was about to reach the Void Walk.

The giant bear's massive body blocked his path like a ghost.

Two giant claws struck out fiercely with lightning speed.

Bang!

Both claws accurately struck Lin Fan's chest, sending him flying once again.

He only felt the world spinning before his eyes as a wave of dizziness hit him.

This time, he didn't stop after breaking just one tree.

After his body crashed through the first tree like a cannonball.

He slammed hard into a second tree before finally coming to a halt.

Lin Fan supported himself against the bent tree trunk and slowly stood up.

If this tree hadn't been thick enough, it probably would have been snapped by him too.

He checked his body again; he was still unharmed, not feeling even a hint of pain.

The undying robe truly lived up to its name.

He looked up, his gaze solemn as he stared at the giant bear.

Only now did he realize that escaping was nowhere near as easy as he had imagined.

This beast is for real!

"Lin Fan, calm down. It can't hurt you; it's just a Mutant-level Magic Beast."

He encouraged himself.

Since this giant bear was determined to fight, he would play along to the end!

...Of course, if there was a chance to escape, that would be a different story!

Lin Fan didn't know.

This giant bear was no ordinary Mutant-level Magic Beast.

It was a top-tier mutated beast on the verge of breaking through to the Metamorphosis-tier, with strength far exceeding that of some ordinary Metamorphic-tier Magic Beasts.

How terrifying was a Metamorphic-tier Magic Beast?

Even a Tier 3 Mage wouldn't dare provoke one alone.

Previously, in order to hunt a Metamorphic-tier Magic Beast, the Alliance Branch...

...had dispatched Minister Jiang Tianhai, a Director, and two Deputy Directors—which is to say, two Tier 3 Mages plus two Peak Tier 3 Mages—to barely manage to kill it.

Roar!

The giant bear let out an earth-shattering roar and vanished from the spot again.

Its speed was faster than one could imagine.

Lin Fan couldn't even capture its trail, but he didn't panic at all.

When it comes to speed, this clumsy bear isn't the only fast one!

His eyes lit up with the silver light unique to the Space Element, and he suddenly spread his hands forward, fingers wide.

At the same time.

Ten silver-white starlight points lit up behind him, dispelling the surrounding darkness and instantly condensing into two complete Star Patterns.

"Space Barrier!"

Lin Fan shouted, and the space in front of him suddenly distorted.

Then it returned to its original state.

This meant the spell had already taken effect.

All of this happened in just a single second.

At the moment the Space Barrier formed.

The giant bear's massive body abruptly appeared in front of Lin Fan.

A massive claw, carrying the weight of a thousand catties, slammed down fiercely.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the giant claw smashed into the Space Barrier.

The ground shook violently, and Lin Fan could even clearly feel that terrifying impact force.

Immediately after.

A crisp cracking sound rang out; the sturdy Space Barrier was actually shattered by the giant bear's single blow!

Even so, Lin Fan remained unfazed.

The purpose of the Space Barrier was originally to buy him time.

Now, the goal had been achieved.

The moment the Space Barrier shattered, Lin Fan suddenly raised his finger, pointing straight at the giant bear's face.

A hint of confusion flashed in the giant bear's eyes.

Just then, ten silver-white starlight points lit up again, condensing into two Star Patterns.

"Space Bullet!"

Lin Fan let out a roar.

Several Space Bullets sliced through the air, making a sharp whistling sound as they slammed into the giant bear's face.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Space Bullets were inherently formless and invisible, and their speed was as fast as lightning.

At such a close distance, the giant bear had no time to react at all.

All the Space Bullets hit their target.

Two of them accurately shot into one of the giant bear's eyes, instantly shredding it to pieces.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the giant bear let out a shrill roar that echoed throughout the entire forest.

One of its eyes was completely destroyed, leaving only a bloody, mangled hole.

Its only remaining red eye now flickered with an increasingly frenzied light.

Clearly, Lin Fan didn't intend to give the giant bear a chance to catch its breath.

He seized this perfect opening.

He immediately summoned the Lightning Element Star Patterns and activated Lightning Flash.

In an instant.

Purple lightning wrapped around his entire body, illuminating the dim forest.

He pushed off with his feet, sprinting toward the distant Void Walk.

He had been blown far away by the giant bear just now.

Now, his distance from the Void Walk was nearly a hundred meters.

But for Lin Fan, this wasn't a problem at all.

Lightning Flash could greatly enhance his speed.

Allowing him to turn into a literal bolt of lightning.

Swish!

Wrapped in lightning.

Lin Fan's figure appeared in front of the Void Walk crack instantly, as if teleporting.

He looked back at that single crimson eye in the distance.

The night was deep, and he could only see that single point of eerie red light.

"I'll keep this debt in mind and come back to settle it with you another day!"

Lin Fan left behind a harsh word and leaped into the Void Walk.

Passing through the vast white space.

Lin Fan stepped out from the other side of the Void Walk.

Returning to the place where he had previously parted ways with Vice Minister Wei Rujun and Zhao Chaoyang.

Those two had long since left, and the surroundings were deathly silent; even the chirping of insects had vanished.

Lin Fan held his knees, panting heavily.

The struggle with the giant bear just now had taught him a lesson.

He had been too conceited!

He should have used Void Walk to leave the forest directly instead of going deeper into danger.

Fighting with all sorts of people over the past few days had caused him to gradually underestimate the dangers of this world.

He wasn't strong enough yet; one slight mistake could cost him his life.

Luckily, he had the undying robe for protection this time, allowing him to escape unscathed, but that feeling of dizziness had been all too real.
