The car was driving through a dense, primordial forest.

The road was very muddy and bumpy.

Lin Chen sat inside the car, looking out the window, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

He always had a feeling that someone was watching their car continuously.

The car drove for half a day, and due to the bumpy ride, many people were quite uncomfortable.

Along the way, Lin Chen noticed several other caravans, almost all heading towards the port.

Among these cars, some were tourists, but Lin Chen also spotted some individuals of considerable strength, clearly their objective was Wanling Island.

At noon, the car finally stopped, and everyone got out to rest.

"Brother Chen Lin, have some cookies." Mu Ya beside him handed a handful of cookies to Lin Chen.

As Lin Chen ate the cookies, he suddenly remembered something.

"Mu Ya, do you still have those pills you gave me yesterday?"

Yesterday, during a chat, Mu Ya gave Lin Chen a Spiritual Medicine. Although its grade wasn't high, it contained some Spiritual Power, which was suitable for his recovery.

Mu Ya was first taken aback, then carefully took out a cloth pouch: "Is this what you mean? I have some of these pills, they're called Hualing Pills, made from natural treasures and can help us enhance our strength."

"Oh, so there are such miraculous things." Lin Chen nodded, looking at those pills with some astonishment.

"Since Brother Chen Lin needs them, I'll give them to you." Mu Ya said, unexpectedly handing all the pills to Lin Chen.

This gesture left Lin Chen stunned; he never expected the girl would give all the pills to him.

From Mu Ya's expression, Lin Chen knew these pills must be quite valuable, yet she gave them to him without hesitation; this girl was incredibly kind.

For a moment, Lin Chen felt a bit embarrassed to accept the pills, knowing they might have taken Mu Ya a long time to gather.

To Lin Chen, once his strength was restored, he could make as many herbs of this grade as he wanted.

However, Lin Chen had already resolved that once his injuries healed, he would repay her with double the pills.

Lin Chen nodded and accepted the pills.

"Oh my, Mu Ya, you're quite generous. These pills were given to everyone to enhance their strength, not to be used to solicit favor with others."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang from the front row.

The speaker was none other than Mei Na, who never liked Lin Chen.

Hearing Mei Na's words, Mu Ya's face also turned a bit unpleasant, and she snorted coldly: "Whether I give away my pills is none of your business. Please stay out of it."

"You ungrateful little girl, talking back to me? You're asking for trouble." Mei Na often bullied Mu Ya, who never dared to talk back, but today, the girl, unexpectedly, was talking back for the first time.

A shadow of gloom flashed in Mei Na's eyes, and she raised her hand to strike Mu Ya on the face.

However, just as her hand reached mid-air, it was stopped.

Lin Chen looked at Mei Na coldly: "Didn't your parents teach you not to push people too far?"

"You brat, a mere mortal dares to lecture me? You're courting death!" Mei Na's face immediately turned more sinister when she saw Lin Chen dare to stop her.

Hearing the quarrel, many people gathered around.

Just then, Clra walked over from a distance, looking displeased: "What are you doing?"

At this point, Mei Na seized the opportunity to complain first: "Sister Clra, this kid is definitely a fraud; he tricked Mu Ya out of her pills. I tried to stop it, but he dared to attack me."

"Sister Clra, it's not like that. I gave the pills to Brother Chen Lin voluntarily. He's not a bad person, nor a fraud," Mu Ya hurriedly explained in defense of Lin Chen.

Listening to both sides, Clra's gaze turned cold, fixed on Lin Chen.

"You're a mere mortal; what do you need pills for?" Clra asked coldly.

Lin Chen replied calmly, "I've suffered some internal injuries and want the pills for healing."

"Do you know what these pills mean to us? If Mu Ya gives them to you, she won't be able to cultivate for a while. Are you aware of that?" Clra questioned coldly.

Lin Chen responded calmly, "Once my wounds heal, I will repay her doubly."

"Repay? With what? You're obviously a fraud," Mei Na said coldly.

"Sister Clra, believe me, Brother Chen Lin is not a bad person. I'm willing to give my pills to him, without needing any compensation," Mu Ya quickly said.

Clra kept her gaze locked on Lin Chen, before finally sighing.

"Chen Lin, I hope you don't let Mu Ya down. If you truly deceive her, I won't let you get away with it."

Clra then addressed the surrounding people: "Stop staring and get back to starting a fire and cooking."

The onlookers began to disperse.

"You!" Mei Na glared at Lin Chen, a venomous look on her face.

After everyone dispersed, Lin Chen patted Mu Ya's shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, little sister Mu Ya; once I recover, I can help you surpass Sister Clra in strength."

"What? Brother Chen Lin, you're not joking, right? Sister Clra is so powerful; how can I surpass her?" Mu Ya said, finding it hard to believe.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Rest assured, that day will come soon."

Just then, the sound of engines roared from a distance.

Soon, several Hummer vehicles stopped.

The car doors opened, and several burly figures jumped down.

Noticing the people, Mu Ya's face slightly changed: "It's the Nordic Pirate Group; why are they here too?"

"Nordic Pirate Group?" Lin Chen was momentarily taken aback upon hearing that.

Mu Ya explained: "We are the largest forces in Northern Europe and have been fighting for years. We are essentially mortal enemies, and I didn't expect them to be here too this time."

As Mu Ya spoke, she pointed at a man with a bushy beard and said: "Do you see him? That guy's name is Kook; he's the division leader of the Nordic Pirate Group. It's said that his power is close to the True God Realm."

"Oh!"

Lin Chen nodded, his gaze falling on the Nordic Pirate Group members.

However, suddenly, his gaze focused. Through his perspective, he saw a young, short man chewing gum and listening to an MP3.

Despite his appearance being completely at odds with the others, seeming more like a middle schooler on a trip, Lin Chen sensed a dangerous aura from him.

It seemed that the most dangerous person in the Nordic Pirate Group wasn't the division leader Kook, but that boy.

At that moment, Kook had already walked up to Clra, grinning widely: "Clra, what a small world; we meet here."

Clra snorted coldly: "Kook, this time we are determined to get the Spirit Fruit; you can dream of snatching it away."

"Haha, you want the Spirit Fruit to save that old man, don't you? Let me tell you, even if I have to destroy the Spirit Fruit, I won't let you have it," Kook sneered coldly.

"You..." Clra's face turned even darker upon hearing Kook's words.
