Chapter 700: Round-up (Part II)

No matter how hard the dragon scorpion tried, it couldn't shake off the old thief who was attached to his body. In a rage, he swung his huge head and rampage through the darkness.

Dust and sand and gravel debris flew all over the sky, Chen Lin just got up from the ground, and was shocked to the ground by the violent vibration, looked up, and was horrified to find that the huge claws of the dragon scorpion fell from the sky, and stepped straight towards his body, at this time, if he wanted to escape, he was afraid that it would be too late.

In an unavoidable situation, Chen Lin swung his right fist towards the claws of the Long Xi Scorpion, such a move was purely an instinctive reaction, using his fist to deal with the Long Xi Scorpion dozens of times his own is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car.

The old man of the thief clan showed a look of regret, and the serrated broadsword in his hand was fiercely inserted into the injured left eye of the dragon scorpion, trying his best to save the young man's life.

The pain made Long Xi Scorpion's huge body tremble uncontrollably, Chen Lin's right fist had reached the limit of its own speed, the skin of his right hand was faintly blue, getting brighter and brighter in the high-speed attack, and a mysterious halo was shrouded around it, the sleeves burned because of the high-speed friction with the air, the flames wrapped around Chen Lin's right arm, and a blue dragon circled and flew in the flames, galloping out.

The giant claws of the dragon scorpion and Chen Lin's right fist slammed together, everything was just a matter of an instant, and time seemed to stand still when the head to head confrontation between one man and one beast.

First, the old man of the thief clan felt the dragon lizard's body twitch, but because of the angle, he didn't see what was happening.

Ling Ying and Ya Yi'an were not far away, they originally thought that Chen Lin would definitely die, but suddenly they felt that the ground began to vibrate violently at the moment when Chen Lin and Long Xi Scorpion clashed, with Chen Lin's feet as the center, a circle of cracks like spider webs spread rapidly to all sides, extending to their feet, which showed the huge pressure that Chen Lin was under at this time.

The huge head of the Long Xi Scorpion leaned back, its left claw trembled and retracted, retracting halfway, and the part of the scale armor that came into contact with Chen Lin's right fist slowly collapsed, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar of the Long Xi Scorpion, the blue blood and flesh shot out in mid-air, and its entire left claw was shattered by the force of Chen Lin's blow.

The huge body fell to the ground tiltingly, the old thief seized this rare opportunity, twisted the tail end of the serrated broadsword, the sword body split, and countless small arrows in the sword cavity shot into its brain from the wound of the left eye of the dragon scorpion, the dragon scorpion tried to support the huge body, but it was unable to complete, the head slowly lowered down, and its life finally left its shell.

Chen Lin looked at the corpse of the Long Xi Scorpion close at hand in shock, and it was not until the old thief came to his side that he came back to his senses.

The old man of the thief clan had an incredible look written on his face, grabbed Chen Lin's right arm and looked at it, convinced that Chen Lin's right hand was intact, and said in a low voice: "What a powerful fist"

Ya Yi'an helped the burned Ling Yingjian and kicked him over, and witnessed Chen Lin's earth-shattering blow just now, and the two of them began to evaluate Chen Lin's strength again in their hearts.

The old thief took out a knife from the skin pouch around his waist and smeared a colorless and transparent liquid on it. Coming to the body of the dragon scorpion, he began to peel off the outer scale armor of the dragon scorpion from its abdomen, he knew quite well about the physiological structure of the dragon scorpion, and in about ten minutes, he separated the scale armor and flesh of the dragon lizard, and then swept it up.

Ya Yi'an's eyes lit up and he followed behind the old thief, and he keenly guessed that there must be a lot of strange treasures hidden in the body of the dragon scorpion.

Chen Lin said to Ling Ying with concern: "How can it be serious?"

Ling Ying sighed and said, "I'm afraid that I will have to rest for two days before I can fully recover." Chen Lin knew from Xuan'er that the Wing Clan had a strong ability to heal themselves, and although Ling Ying's burns were severe, he would definitely recover in two days.

There was an exclamation from Ya Yi'an behind him, Chen Lin turned around, but saw that the old man of the thief clan cut open the abdomen of the dragon scorpion, and took out a red bead the size of a tennis ball, Ya Yi'an's eyes looked extremely greedy, staring at the pearl in the old man's hand, and his voice trembled: "Is this the inner dan of the dragon lizard?"

The old man of the thief clan smiled indifferently, nodded and carefully put Neidan into his leather bag, and began to peel off the pair of sharp horns of the dragon lizard, and took out two pairs of sharp horns, he picked up one of them and came to Chen Lin's side: "This one is for you"

Chen Lin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the old man would give it to him.

The old man of the thief clan smiled: You also have a share of the credit for successfully defeating the dragon scorpion, and you naturally have a share of the loot, this sharp horn is very tough, and it can become a sharp weapon for self-defense after being carved by a famous craftsman, if you go to Parthian City, you can go to the God of War Workshop in the west of the city, where there is a famous craftsman named Gelsa who should be able to help you make sharp horns into first-class weapons. He paused and said: "When you see him, you just need to say that the Iron Demon Ao asked you to go" It seems that the Iron Demon Ao is the real name of this thief old man.

Chen Lin was overjoyed to take the sharp corner, only to feel that it was very heavy to start, and estimated that its quality was far better than steel.

Ya Yi'an couldn't help but say: "Old man, we also have a share in defeating the Dragon Scorpion, why do you only give him one person?"

Iron Demon Ao didn't like this poor-mouthed guy, and said coldly: "Didn't you take a fancy to the Neidan in my hand?"

Ya Yi'an was hit by what he said, and he laughed.

"If you want Neidan, there is no way" Iron Demon Ao unceremoniously shattered Ya Yi'an's illusion, he looked at Ling Ying, bent down again, cut off two pieces of the dragon's scale armor, rolled it and handed it to Chen Lin and Wing Bow respectively: "Go make a leather armor for self-defense"

Ya Yi'an looked at Chen Lin and Ling Ying with blank eyes, could it be that he was so unpleasant, and he didn't have his share in the spoils.

Iron Demon Ao collected his loot, waved his hand to Chen Lin and the others, and strode into the distance.

Ya Yi'an watched him disappear into the darkness, and then said angrily: "The stingy old fellow actually ignored my dedication

Chen Lin laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Money is something outside the body, why should you take it too seriously, clean up, we should also go."

"Since it's something outside of your body, you can give it to me."

"Dreaming" Chen Lin and Ling Ying raised their fists at him at the same time.

Because the three Tuxi scorpions they used to ride had already been slaughtered by the dragons, they had to walk to Parthia City, but fortunately, Yaian was very familiar with the way of the underground world, so he saved a lot of trouble.

After a day and night, they finally came to the outside of Parthia City, standing on the black mountain rock and looking up, but saw the splendor of Parthia City, and the grand scale of the underground city made Chen Lin stunned, and it was not possible to build such a city in a short period of time.

Ya Yi'an said: "Parthian city has a history of 1,500 years, the bandits originally lived on the ground, robbing and fishing and hunting for a living, and then were surrounded and suppressed by the army of the Xuanwu Empire, in order to survive, they went underground, over time, formed their own unique culture and language, and other races have been very different, the only thing that has not changed is the robbery and theft handed down from their ancestors."

Chen Lin asked puzzledly: "They were also surrounded and suppressed by the Xuanwu Empire, and instead of having the same hatred between the Wing Clan and the Thief Clan, they became enemies who did not share the same sky, but for what?"

Ling Ying said coldly: "The Wing Clan and the Bandit Clan used to be the best allies, but later in order to save themselves, the Bandit Clan betrayed the Wing Clan and wanted to exchange the land for survival from the Xuanwu Empire."

"No, it was the Wing Clan who betrayed the Bandits," Ya Yi'an disagreed.

Ling Ying glared at Ya Yi'an, this poor-mouthed guy became more and more bold, and dared to openly contradict himself.

Ya Yi'an gasped a little weakly, and said in a low voice: "The hatred between the two races shouldn't affect our friendship, isn't it?"

Ling Ying snorted coldly, his injuries were recovering faster than expected, if he hadn't relied on Yayi'an's help to enter Parthian City, he would have picked up his collar and thrown this nasty guy aside.

The three of them drew patterns on their faces with oil paint, arranged their clothes, and walked side by side towards the city gate.

Because tomorrow is the birthday of many members of the true gods, the warriors of the thief clan in front of the door are obviously much stricter in checking the crowd coming and going, Chen Lin and Ling Ying showed the pass in their hands to the warrior in the same way as Ya Yi'an, and the warrior checked the luggage they carried before putting the three of them into the city.

Chen Lin looked up, but saw that the city gate was five stories high, and there was a towering tower on each side of the bronze gate, and the whole tower was made of carved square black boulders. Six heavily armed archers patrol the outpost and shoot their bolts at the right touch.

The Parthian city was wide enough to accommodate eight carriages, and the streets were paved with white rocks that stretched straight and without twists and turns. On both sides of the road are a series of curved houses with a uniform style, and the front doors of each house are hung with colorful glass lanterns, filling with a festive atmosphere.

Jayian whispered: "Although the thieves make a living by stealing and robbing, such a thing will not be allowed to happen in the city of Parthia, and if there is a theft in their own clan, they will be punished by cutting off their hands."

Ya Yi'an knew everything about the Parthian city, and took Chen Lin and the others to a small hotel in the west of the city to stay, and told them to wait patiently in the hotel, and he went to the city alone to inquire about the news.

Chen Lin and Ling Ying waited for two hours, but still didn't see Ya Yi'an come back, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, Ling Ying asked the owner of the inn, knowing that the God of War Workshop was not far from the corner of the street, and Chen Lin brought the loot given to them by the old thief and came straight to the God of War Workshop.

When he came to the God of War Workshop, he saw several young apprentices busy in front of the fire, and a bald hunchbacked old man stood there commanding. Seeing a guest coming, the hunchbacked old man wiped his palms with his apron and greeted him.

"What do the two guests need" The old man was not a thief, and his accent seemed a little stiff.

"Excuse me, is that Mr. Gersa?"

"I am"

Ling Ying smiled indifferently and put the scale armor of the Dragon Scorpion in his hand on the table, and Chen Lin also followed him to put the long horn of the Dragon Scorpion on the table.

Gelsa's cloudy gaze suddenly brightened, and he said with surprise: "The scales and horns of the dragon lizard"

Ling Ying nodded, and said according to the instructions of the old man of the thief clan before, "It was the Iron Demon Ao senior who asked us to come."

Hearing the name of the Iron Demon Ao, Gelsa immediately lowered his guard and said in a low voice: "Only he can successfully hunt the Dragon Scorpion, the treasure knife is not old, the treasure knife is not old."

The wrinkled palm stroked the scale armor: "This outer skin is enough to make two armor greens" He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Ying and Chen Lin respectively, and had already estimated the height and posture of the two.

He flexed his finger and flicked it twice on the sharp horn of the dragon lizard: "This long horn can be sharpened into an indestructible treasure knife, Ling Ying bowed and said, "Please"

Gelsa smiled indifferently: "The matter of the Iron Demon Ao is my business, tomorrow morning, you can come and receive the goods"

On the way back, he happened to meet Ya Yi'an, who came back from inquiring about the news, and judging from his triumphant expression, he should have a satisfactory harvest.

Chen Lin couldn't wait to grab his arm and asked in a low voice, "How can I find out about them?"

Yayian smiled: "Engong must be in a hurry, I have already found out their whereabouts, and Tetur has temporarily imprisoned them in a cell in the Gothic Temple, just afraid that after the birth of many members of the True God, he will attack them."

Chen Lin said angrily: "If he dares to be rude, Lao Tzu must chop him up and feed the dog."

Ya Yi'an smiled and said, "Engong doesn't need to worry, no one dares to touch them before tomorrow."

Ling Ying said: "We still rescue them as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

Ya Yi'an said in a low voice: "Go back first"

Back at the inn, after carefully inspecting the vicinity of the room, Ya Yi'an closed the doors and windows, lit the candle, and took out a map drawn on a white cloth from his bosom.

Chen Lin and Ling Ying hurriedly approached.

"This is a topographical map of the Gothic Temple, and if I don't guess it, they should be imprisoned in a stone prison behind the temple, on a cliff."

Chen Lin couldn't wait to say: "Since we have found their location, we will find them tonight and rescue Xuan'er and Xuanbo."

Ya Yi'an shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of many members of the true god, in order to prevent someone from making trouble, the temple's precautions are extremely strict, tonight is the time when they are most vigilant, go to save people now, I am afraid that they will be discovered before they get close to the temple."

Ling Ying nodded, agreeing deeply with Ya Yi'an's analysis.

Ya Yi'an said: "The best time to rescue them should be tomorrow at noon."

Chen Lin encouraged him to continue with his eyes.

"Tomorrow at noon, when many of the true gods are born, a grand sacrifice will be held in the temple square, and the inhabitants of the entire Parthian city will gather around the temple to celebrate this moment, and when they bow down to the true god with devotion, it is when their vigilance is most relaxed, and we should be able to quickly rescue those two girls as long as we grasp the opportunity."

Chen Lin took two steps back and forth, and finally made up his mind, the plan that Ya Yi'an said was quite safe, everything was done according to what he said Early the next morning, Chen Lin and Ling Ying came to the God of War Workshop, Gelsa really finished making the armor stomach and the long knife as agreed, and the armor stomach was much lighter and softer than the original after his treatment, but the toughness was not reduced at all.

Gelsa said: "Wear it on your body, you can resist the sword" and put the long knife horizontally into Chen Lin's hand, Chen Lin took the handle, but saw that the long knife made of the sharp horns of the dragon scorpion was as black as ink, the blade was flashing with deep reflection, the blade was sharp, and the edge was faintly covered with a cyan halo, and the handle was wrapped in the scale armor of the dragon scorpion, and the weight in the hand was 49 heavy.

Chen Lin took out the scimitar on his waist, and the long knife gently slashed at the scimitar, only to hear a clumsy sound that the scimitar was actually cut in two by the long knife, Ling Ying was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect this inconspicuous-looking bone long knife to be so sharp.

Chen Lin was overjoyed to put the long knife into the scabbard, which was made of the remaining Longxi Scorpion Scale Armor, which was very harmonious together.

Chen Lin and Ling Ying thanked Gelsa together, Ling Ying took out two night pearls as a reward for these things, but Gelsa was reluctant to accept them, it seemed that his relationship with Iron Demon Ao was really close.

When there was still an hour before noon, Chen Lin and Ling Ying walked towards the Gothic Temple under the guidance of Ya Yi'an. Many of the true gods were supreme in the hearts of the thieves, and the inhabitants of Parthia went to the Gothic temple to participate in the rituals. Among them, there are many believers who kneel down step by step, but they didn't expect that there is faith in this underground world.

Although there were many thieves who went to the temple, fortunately, the arrangements were made in advance, and the order was maintained, and the three of them followed the bustling flow of people to the Gothic temple.

Ya Yi'an said in a low voice: "Two benevolent dukes, we still act separately, and when the sacrificial ceremony begins, I will be responsible for creating chaos in the square and attracting their attention, and the two of you will go to the stone prison in the back mountain to save people."

Chen Lin couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart when he saw Ya Yi'an doing so hard in this matter, and said with concern: "You must be careful, don't be caught by the enemy."

Ya Yi'an smiled: "Don't worry, I will be cautious this time, and I will never fall into their hands again." The two bengongs should also be careful, after rescuing the people, they will immediately go to the inn to meet them, and I have already arranged the escape route. ”

Chen Lin and Ling Ying broke up with Ya Yi'an, they had already remembered the map of the Gothic temple clearly, and took advantage of no one's attention, quietly left the team, walked in from the path on the left, bypassed the Gothic temple, and came to the rear of the temple, because when the sacrifice ceremony was approaching, most of the thieves had already gone to the square, and only a few warriors patrolled around the temple.

The two of them hid behind the thick pillars, quietly observing the environment behind the temple, and the four samurai in charge of the handle of the intersection patrolled back and forth on the road between the cliff and the back door of the temple.

Chen Lin said in a low voice: "The two on the left will be handed over to me, and the two on the right belong to you."

Ling Ying sneered: "No need to be so troublesome" slowly pulled out the golden longbow from behind him, four white feather arrows were lined up on the bowstring in turn, his eyes were fixed on the target in front of him, and when the four thief warriors turned around, they shot suddenly, the bowstring sounded softly, and the four feather arrows chased the wind and lightning straight to the back of the hearts of the four thief warriors, they didn't even have time to make a sound, they were pierced through the heart by the feather arrows, and fell to the ground silently.
