Tick tock!

A drop of water fell in the damp cavern, which was not bright, only a faint light from the entrance of the cave shone in, and the few golden feathers scattered on the ground were not left behind. However, although the cave is not bright, it is unusually open, and it can accommodate hundreds of people.

At this time, a head poked out of the cave, and a young man looked around the cave, made sure that he didn't find anything unusual, and walked quickly to the river, while not forgetting to cover the entrance to the cave with weeds and dead branches.

The boy walked to the lake, took out a water bladder from his arms and pumped water into the lake, after filling the water, the boy looked at the clear lake, hesitated for a moment or put his hand into the water, in order to wash his face.

The smooth surface of the lake reflected the young man's freshly washed face, but the immature face clearly had a hint of determination.

"I, Lin Liang, will never fall down here, I will definitely stand at the peak of the martial arts!" the young man roared towards the lake.

The boy is Lin Liang. It turned out that after the old man fainted covered in blood that day, Lin Liang picked up the old man and walked towards the middle, and according to the guidance of the map, Lin Liang smoothly crossed the boundary between the outside and the middle.

After coming to the central part of the country, Lin Liang found the largest and most hidden cave near the border to recuperate the old man's injuries.

The strange thing was that from the time he crossed the border to the time he placed the old man in this cave in the middle, Lin Liang didn't see a single demon beast or beast. This couldn't help but make Lin Liang secretly vigilant, there were many wild beasts on the outside of the Tianqi Mountain Range, but there was no trace in the middle, which was obviously unreasonable.

Whew! After venting his depression in the past few days towards the lake, Lin Liang was obviously much more comfortable. I saw him pick up the water bladder and walk towards the cave, while also paying attention to the movements around him.

There was no movement near the cave, only a few birds wandering in the forest. Lin Liang sighed, it's so weird here, but the old man hasn't woken up yet, what should he do if it goes on like this?

At this moment, there was a staccato sound in the cave.

"Wine ...... Wine...... Give me a ...... wine."

Lin Liang was walking outside the cave, and when he heard this voice, he suddenly became ecstatic, and the old man finally woke up!

Lin Liang rushed into the cave, only to see the old man trying to open his eyes, still calling out "wine" in his mouth...... Wine...... Give me a ...... wine."

Lin Liang hurriedly handed the water bladder to the old man, and said at the same time: "Old man, the wine is gone, you can drink some water first." ”

The old man took the water bladder and sniffed it, then threw the water bladder back to Lin Liang, and kept saying "wine...... Wine...... I want to drink ......."

"There was no more wine, only the water that had just been fetched. Seeing that the old man refused to drink water, Lin Liang was in a hurry.

As if he heard what Lin Liang said, the old man no longer said that he wanted wine, but pointed to the water bladder and said, "Water...... Calabash...... Drink ......"

Lin Liang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand what the old man meant. He asked uncertainly, "Old man, do you want me to pour the water from the water bladder into the gourd you gave me for you to drink?"

The old man nodded, and Lin Liang quickly took out the gourd that the old man wanted him to carry with him from his bag, opened the water bladder and poured water into it, and then handed the gourd to the old man.

"Gollum!" the old man picked up the gourd and poured it violently, and Lin Liang, who saw it on the side, was frightened, afraid that something would happen to the old man.

The water in the gourd was soon drunk by the old man, and the old man threw the gourd to the ground, and the person who was lying down actually stood up, although his face was still very pale, but his face was a little ruddy.

Lin Liang watched all this dumbfounded, the old man had been in a coma for so many days, and he was able to stand up after drinking a gourd of water just after waking up.

Hey, no, this old man was still screaming at the beginning that he wanted to drink and refused to drink water, why did he drink the water when he poured it into the gourd? Lin Liang picked up the gourd that was dropped by the old man.

"This! I obviously poured water into it, why did it turn into wine?" As soon as he picked up the gourd, Lin Liang immediately opened it and smelled it, and a smell of wine instantly poured into his nose.

"Haha!" Seeing Lin Liang picking up the gourd and smelling it, the old man couldn't help laughing.

"Lin boy, don't smell it, it's the water you poured in, but when you go in, it turns into wine. ”

"As soon as you pour water, it turns into wine?, this gourd still has this function?" said Lin Liang and suddenly threw the gourd at the old man, and scolded.

"Stinky old man, since your gourd can be turned into wine as long as you pour water into it, why didn't you say it earlier, and still drink my wine for two years in my house!

Uh, looking at Lin Liang's almost distorted face, the old man was suddenly speechless, and said aggrieved in his heart: "I can't tell you that you can only do this after you bring back that gourd head." ”

"Ahh

"How do I know?" Lin Liang said angrily.

"I don't understand the map you gave me, but we know that we should be in the middle now. Thinking of the two years of wine that the old man drank in his house, Lin Liang's heart felt like he was dripping blood, which was enough money for him to live normally for many years!

The old man was silent, and suddenly Lin Liang raised his head and asked, "Hey, old man, what happened when you went back to explore the way?" Why were you covered in blood when you came back, but I didn't find any wounds when I looked at your body?"

The old man glanced at Lin Liang and asked lightly, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes. Lin Liang replied affirmatively.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. Seeing that Lin Liang insisted on knowing what happened that day, the old man thought about it and said it.

"After leaving the woods that day, I searched back along the path we had taken, trying to see if the Shadow Beasts were chasing us. I searched until dawn, and I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. So I felt that the Shadow Beast didn't chase us all the way, but after Muller. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately hurried into the woods, hoping to take you into the middle before the shadow beast chased after me. But I was wrong!"

The old man looked bitter and continued, "The shadow beast has already chased us, and it has been following me back until I am rushing towards the forest. ”

"Doesn't the Shadow Beast not attack in the night?" Lin Liang wondered.

"I don't know. The old man shook his head.

"The moment it struck me, I felt a suction pulling at my origin, and I immediately understood that it was the Shadow Beast that had struck. I tried all I could to sever the Source from it, but it didn't work. In desperation, I could only use the combat technique that I listed as a forbidden method, Blood Transformation, to turn half of the essence blood out of my body, so as to lock the origin of my body from being shaken. ”

"So you made all that blood on your body?"

"Not bad!"

"What about then?" was it successful?" Lin Liang then asked.

"No," the old man smiled wryly. "Blood transformation can only temporarily lock the origin without loss, and after a long time, it will eventually come into contact. And I'm alive now, thanks to that little guy Mueller. ”

"Old Mu, what does this have to do with Old Mu? Didn't he go away with us?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The old man paused and continued.

"By that time, my blood was almost gone, and it was almost dawn, and I had almost given up my belief in living. At this moment, a distress signal sign of the Li Ding Sect appeared in the sky in the distance. It was a black tripod with a fist standing on it. The Shadow Beast instantly gave up its attack on me and ran towards the place where the signal had been given. I breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back into the woods with what little strength I had left. ”

So that's the case, Lin Liang nodded, "It seems that the next time I see Lao Mu, I will thank him well." ”

"Well," the old man replied, and began to scan the entire cave.

"Lin boy, how did you find such a big cave?" The old man was also a little stunned when he looked at this spacious cave.

"Hey, I picked it at random. Speaking of the cave, Lin Liang said proudly. "The cave is not only spacious, but it is also exceptionally hidden, with only a few birds hovering nearby, not even a wild beast. If there is a shortcoming, it is that the light is a little worse. ”

The old man ignored Lin Liang's praise and searched the cave carefully. Suddenly, the old man spotted the scattered feathers on the ground.

The feathers were all golden, and the old man looked at the feathers in his hand and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head suddenly, and asked in a stern tone: "Say what you just said again!"

"Say it again?" Lin Liang scratched his head strangely, and when he saw the old man's serious face, he said: "I said that this cave is spacious and hidden, and there are no wild beasts nearby, only a few birds circling, but the light is not very good." ”

"Flying birds circling...... There are no beasts...... Spacious and concealed, the light is ......," the old man muttered to himself, and suddenly he walked briskly towards the entrance of the cave.

"Sure enough, it's a golden-winged eagle!" the old man who looked at the feathers in his hand finally confirmed his guess. "It's not good, these guardian birds are circling here, which means that the golden-winged eagle is coming back!"

Thinking of this old man's face changing instantly, he hurriedly hurried back to the cave and shouted: "Lin boy, go quickly, this cave is from a golden-winged eagle, and it will come back soon!"

"Huh?" Lin Liang was stunned, but fortunately, after experiencing so many things, Lin Liang reacted quickly, and immediately packed up his things and prepared to walk out of the cave.

And at this moment, a loud chirp sounded outside the cave.

Golden-winged eagle, it's back!
