The ultimate trap is just around the corner.

Originally, Dai Qi took it for granted that he could easily lead the reckless Qin Lin and the newborn Yu'er into the trap without much effort, and then complete the assassination mission, and then sit back and wait for a promotion and salary increase.

At this point, he realized that the assassination mission was not as easy as he had imagined.

Even, he began to doubt whether he could complete the assassination mission.

"This Qin Lin pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, just now he was really a reckless man, as if he only knew how to use force, but now he has obviously become wise, and the aura that comes from the faint oppression is simply stronger than the aura of the six elders...... What kind of character is this Qin Lin?"

Dai Qi quickly analyzed in his thoughts.

He was definitely a smart person, although the six elders of Lishan did not tell him why he wanted to assassinate Qin Lin, but combined with what was happening in Huashan City right now, it was not difficult for him to guess that the assassination mission had a lot to do with Xiao Zhu's death.

"Understood, I was negligent. ”

Dai Qi had a hint of abruptness.

I thought in my heart: "Originally, I thought that Qin Lin dared to kill the son of the Xiao family, which was a reckless behavior without thinking about it, but now it seems that he has full confidence, so it is no wonder that Sister Wei Ying of the Wei family is willing to provide him with shelter!"

Dai Qi peeled off the doubts in his heart and slowly pieced together another image of Qin Lin.

And this image is the image that Dai Qi knows he can't offend.

In this way, he could not help but breed cowardice in his heart.

The gaze subconsciously glanced at the mountains and forests outside the post station.

"The Lingqi Cave is just outside the post station, and I have already reached the entrance of the final trap, do you really want to give up?"

Dai Qi asked himself.

At this time, Qin Lin patted him on the shoulder again and chuckled: "Sit down and finish the meal first, after all, none of us know if there will be a chance to sit and eat together in the future." ”

The implication is that it is the last meal before dying.

“......”

Dai Qi was speechless.

He would not be weak in the face of a reckless man, but in the face of Qin Lin at this time, Dai Qi understood that this was still a warning given to him by Qin Lin.

Turning around and re-seating before eating, the smile on Dai Qi's face had disappeared.

He ate in silence and did not say a word.

Qin Lin was very satisfied with this, picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself, and did not speak again.

Only Yu'er felt a little inexplicable, looking at the two people in front of her with a puzzled face.

Oh...... And Dark Souls.

Like Yu'er, it can't understand the current situation.

"What did you do? Why didn't this Dai Qi laugh?"

The Dark Spirit asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just let him know that he's not the only smart guy down there. ”

Qin Lin responded in the Yuan Shen.

The dark soul still didn't understand, because it really didn't see any special moves from Qin Lin.

Perhaps, this is called aura.

Just relying on the aura is enough to shock the opponent.

"Don't brag about it, there are many smart people. ”

The dark soul said in an unconvinced tone.

It's just that it admires it in its heart, after all, Dai Qi is a person who can remain calm in the face of its rebellious martial arts strength, but in Qin Lin's subtle words, he confessed it.

Dai Qi was eating at this time, and his eyes would glance outside the post station from time to time.

The mountain forest looks very peaceful, and the green scenery is pleasant.

But as the old saying goes, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is.

The topography of Lishan is unique.

It may be the only place in the entire Xuan Continent where rare medicinal herbs can be intensively cultivated.

The reason for this is directly related to the soil quality of Lishan.

Rare medicinal materials need to be fed with aura, and the purer the aura, the more high-grade medicinal materials can be synthesized and cultivated.

And the spirit of Lishan permeates the soil and is beyond any place in the world, so it can be dominant.

However, Reiki is not something that can be touched by mortal beings in the flesh.

Alternatively, Reiki is an energy that mortals can't handle.

It's like a person who is not sick has to eat a thousand-year-old ginseng.

It's just that eating ginseng without illness is nothing more than some liver fire, but when mortals come into contact with aura, their blood veins will swell, and they will bleed to death through seven holes.

In the mountain forest that Dai Qi glanced at from time to time, there was a cave with abundant spiritual energy, called Lingqi Cave.

"The Sixth Elder is insidious enough to let Qin Lin take the initiative to enter the Spirit Habitat Cave, let him come into contact with the Spiritual Qi, and let him be attacked by the Spiritual Qi and die...... This is undoubtedly the least responsible method of killing. ”

Dai Qi held the rice in the bowl, thinking about whether to continue to guide Qin Lin into the Lingqi Cave.

"Since ancient times, no one has walked into the Lingqi Cave and can come out alive, even if Qin Lin's martial arts strength is reversed, but he is only a mortal after all, right! ”

Dai Qi didn't want to give up.

He had been in Lishan for ten years, and he needed to complete the assassination mission and get promoted by the six elders of Lishan to promote his rank.

"Anyway, even if the mission fails, Qin Lin is too likely to kill me in Lishan. ”

Dai Qi finally made a decision.

He's going to take a gamble.

After all, it's a no-lose gamble.

won a promotion and a salary increase, even if he lost, as long as it was in the territory of Lishan, Dai Qi expected that Qin Lin would never be able to do anything to him.

Putting down the chopsticks, Dai Qi politely asked Qin Lin: "Qin Gongzi, should we go to the grass pavilion immediately, or do we rest first and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Dai Qi no longer asked Yu'er politely.

Because he knew that although Yu'er was a big merchant of the Ruan family, in front of Qin Lin, she was no different from a maid.

Qin Lin stood up, "Let's go, don't waste time, we're still busy." ”

"Okay, then lead the way for Qin Gongzi below. ”

Dai Qi also got up and led the way out.

The core of his gambling game is to bet that Qin Lin and Yu'er are both coming to Lishan for the first time and are not familiar with Lishan at all.

Therefore, whether it is in the direction of the Grass Pavilion or the direction of the Lingqi Cave, it is not Dai Qi's decision.

In fact, Yu'er hadn't finished eating at this time.

She was really hungry.

But when she saw that Dai Qi and Qin Lin were gone, she was full of depression, and she could only keep up.

"Qin Lin, how do you feel that Director Dai is more angry than just now, just now he was still smiling, he was a very polite person, now I think he is ......"

Yu'er approached Qin Lin's side.

Qin Lin smiled faintly and had no words.

After walking for a while, the three of them came to a fork in the road.

"Qin Gongzi, please go here. ”

Dai Qi naturally led the way.

Qin Lin didn't make a statement, and followed behind Dai Qi to the front colonel

The road to the Lingqi Cave was supposed to be heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach it.

But by this time, the road was empty, quiet, and a little eerie.

Dai Qi walked in front and couldn't see the look of fear, but this was also the first time he approached the Lingqi Cave, and his heart was full of fear.

"It's okay, as long as you don't go into the hole, you can't die. ”

Dai Qi comforted himself.

Turning his head, he said to Qin Lin with a stiff expression: "Qin Gongzi, after a while, after passing the cave in front, I will arrive at the third level of my Lishan Mountain, and there will be a carriage to ride in before that, until we have a grass pavilion in the center of Lishan." ”

This is a lie.

Dai Qi wanted Qin Lin to relax his vigilance, so he described a route that seemed to be a shortcut.

Qin Lin was silent.

But he knew that this road was definitely not the direction leading to the Grass Pavilion, and as for what the end point of this road was, Qin Lin couldn't make a guess.

But the dark soul muttered at this time.

"Qin Lin, something is wrong here. ”

The Dark Spirit's tone was a little wary.

Qin Lin sniffed, but didn't smell anything, and asked, "Smell, what smell?"

"You don't have to smell it, you are a mortal in the flesh, and you can't smell the aura. ”

"Spiritual ......"

Hearing this, Qin Lin's expression stiffened slightly.

But soon he regained his composure, revealing a sudden expression.

"No wonder, no wonder Lishan can cultivate high-grade rare medicinal materials, it turns out that Lishan has aura. ”

Qin Lin chuckled.

As an alchemist, Qin Lin's cultivation of medicinal materials synthesis was naturally extremely profound.

It's just that he has never been able to grasp the mystery of Reiki, so even if he has the highest level of technology, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he can't cultivate the most satisfying rare medicinal materials.

Hearing Qin Lin's faint smile in the Yuan Shen, the dark soul reminded: "You can still laugh, the smell is getting heavier and heavier, there must be a condensation place of spiritual energy in front of this road." ”

There was a hint of tension in it.

Because it was conceived from the dementor rune of the Shadow Sword, and the rune was also forged by relying on aura.

In other words, the dark soul and the aura are originally the same root, but the latter is of the nature of the "mother" and has the ability to control, and the dark soul can only be a passive role in front of the aura.

"What's not to laugh at here, isn't it just Reiki?"

Qin Lin said flatly.

Listening to Qin Lin's relaxed tone, the dark soul was a little unhappy.

Its temperament is to be strong, but it has a bit of a natural fear of aura.

It's just that no matter how much it fears the aura, in the end, the attributes of its soul will not be harmed by the aura, and Qin Lin will die as soon as he touches the aura.

"Ignorant mortals, in the eyes of Uncle Ben, you don't understand the power of aura. ”

The Dark Soul said in a disdainful tone.

Qin Lin was still calm, "Of course I understand that the aura is the initial qi of the earth, and it is no exaggeration to say that this land relies on the aura to give birth to sentient beings. ”

"That's right, you still have a bit of knowledge. ”

It wasn't surprising that Dark Soul Qin Lin knew this.

It only listened to Qin Lin continue.

Therefore, the ability of the aura surpasses the limit of the physical mortal womb, and mortals cannot touch the aura, and if they touch it, they will definitely die...... Hey......"

Qin Lin sighed.

You must know that if mortals could touch the aura, then Qin Lin, who was in the position of the Danhuang in his previous life, would have already touched the aura, or even controlled the aura.

Unfortunately, there are still things in this world that you can't get anyway.

After listening to Qin Lin's description of "aura", the dark soul asked in surprise: "Since you know that the energy of aura, you mortals can't touch, then what are you going to go forward?

"Well, his plan is perfect, and if I had been killed by the aura, he wouldn't have any responsibility. ”

Qin Lin exhaled and breathed, looking more relaxed.

He had been speculating about what kind of means Dai Qi still hid.

There is nothing more fearful than the unknown.

And now, Qin Lin knew that there was a place of aura in front of him that could not be entered by mortals, and he also understood what Dai Qi would do next, so he was relaxed.

It's just that the dark soul is still worried, and it reminds Qin Lin: "You better turn around, don't go any further, or replace me and let me kill Dai Qi directly." ”

"I don't need you for the time being, but maybe, I'll let you out soon. ”

Qin Lin had no intention of stopping.

Even, he accelerated.

His steps kept approaching Dai Qi, who was walking in front, and when he was shoulder to shoulder with Dai Qi, he let out a soft cough.

Ahem......

Dai Qi seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed a little distracted.

When he heard the coughing sound, he glanced at Qin Lin with fright.

"Qin Gongzi?"

Dai Qi slowed down.

Qin Lin had a serious face: "I thought you should be smart enough, but now it seems that it may not be." ”

"Huh?"

Dai Qi was nervous again, and the feeling of weakness was extremely serious.

He pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What does Gongzi Qin mean by this?"

"This road shouldn't be to the Grass Pavilion, right?"

Qin Lin broke it.

Dai Qi stiffened.

Stuck in his throat, he said, "How do you know?", and when he was about to exit, he swallowed it back.

Dai Qi couldn't ask such a stupid question.

This is the equivalent of not blinking

So he still has to continue to pretend to be garlic: "This, of course this road is the way to the Grass Pavilion, does Qin Gongzi think there is any problem?"

Dai Qi could only understand that Qin Lin was deceiving him.

Qin Lin glanced at him and smiled wickedly: "No problem, you take the lead, you go ahead, and I will follow you slowly." ”

That's obvious enough.

Qin Lin then simply stopped his pace and stopped Yu'er.

Seeing this, Dai Qi's face turned a little pale.

"Qin Gongzi, aren't you leaving?"

"Let's go, just let you go ahead, Yu'er and I will follow you, and you will keep a distance of ten zhang from us. ”

“......”

Dai Qi was speechless.

He knew that Qin Lin had seen through his conspiracy.

Originally, according to the plan of Dai Qi and the six elders of Lishan, several killers would be arranged at the entrance of the Lingqi Cave to pretend to be guards and lead Qin Lin into the Lingqi Cave.

But now, it is clear that it is impossible to carry out the plan.

It's just that Dai Qi was very surprised, how could Qin Lin know that the Lingqi Cave in front of him was in danger?

"Did Qin Lin come to Lishan before? Or did he hear that there was a Lingqi Cave in Lishan?

No, it's unlikely.

If Qin Lin had been to Lishan before, the Sixth Elder would definitely know about it, then he would not have resorted to such a killing method.

But it is even more impossible to hearsay, because the Lingqi Cave is the top secret of Lishan, and every Lishan person has been given a 'forbidden grass', if anyone reveals this top secret to the outside world, the toxicity of 'golden grass' is enough to make life worse than death. ”

Dai Qi couldn't grasp Qin Lin's pulse, let alone guess Qin Lin's thoughts, and for a while, his mind was confused.

Qin Lin stretched out his hand and patted Dai Qi on the shoulder: "Now give you two choices, either you go ahead, or you die in front, or you take us on the right route." ”

"Qin Gongzi, I really don't understand what you mean by this. ”

Dai Qi gave up.

The dead duck has a hard mouth, even if he has realized that he has been seen through by Qin Lin, he still has to persevere.

Seeing this, Qin Lin didn't have much more: "Since that's the case, then you can continue to move forward." ”

"This, good! good!"

Dai Qi can only take one step at a time.

It is impossible to turn around and take the right route with Qin Lin now.

Because that would go against the will of the six elders, Dai Qi didn't dare to offend the six elders.

So he's going to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Maybe when he arrived at the entrance of the Lingqi Cave, he handed over Qin Lin to the killers arranged by the six elders, and he would be fine.

Or......

"Could Qin Lin be deceiving me?"

Dai Qi suddenly thought of this.

He guessed, in fact, Qin Lin didn't know anything, he just deliberately didn't take the right path and wanted to cheat!

"This is the most likely, because he has never been to Lishan, it is impossible to know the correct route, and he can't hear, then he is lying to me nine times out of ten!"

Dai Qi thought about it luckily in his heart.

Soon, the entrance of the Lingqi Cave slowly approached.

The entrance to the cave was not very large, and six guards in heavy black armor stood side by side, which blocked the entrance.

The guards are all burly figures, like giants.

And the weapon in their hands is also an extremely heavy giant axe, and the surface of the axe is polished with irregular patterns, like inscriptions.

Dai Qi looked at these guards and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He knew that these were the killers arranged by the six elders.

With them, Dai Qi can feel a lot more at ease.
