Chapter 8: Fear

Long Chen was very alert and quickly turned around to look around, but found that there was no one at all, but he didn't think that what he had just heard was any hallucination.

Sure enough, a man came out from behind a big black strange rock in front of him, the man looked a little embarrassed, with a disheveled hair, wearing a red dress, soaking wet, I don't know how old he is, but judging from the size, it is estimated that he will not be more than fifty years old.

Looking at the condition of the middle-aged man in red, Long Chen pondered that this man should have climbed up from the Qingrong River, and not long after he climbed up, his clothes hadn't dried under the scorching sun like this, so it was no wonder that he hadn't noticed that there were people around here before.

Long Chen didn't speak, after all, he didn't know what this stranger of unknown origin wanted to do, he just looked at the other party with curious eyes.

The man in red walked over, and pushed the hair hanging down on his forehead to the back of his head, revealing a very kind looking face, he smiled at Long Chen, then coughed violently a few times, and asked with some difficulty: "Little guy, do you think I'm terrible?" Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I just hope you can help me a little." ”

Long Chen was still silent, because he noticed a strange thing, the other party's right arm hidden in the sleeve was no different from a dead branch, and even the skin below the neck covered under the collar was like a tree bark full of folds, not at all like the skin that should fit the man's face, but like a centenarian!

Seeing that Long Chen still didn't speak, the man in red frowned, and a trace of obvious gloom and irritability crossed his eyes, which was fleeting, and then squeezed out a gentle smile, stretched out his normal left hand, and then a thick black book appeared out of thin air, floating more than ten centimeters high in his palm.

The moment the forbidden code appeared, Long Chen's back was directly soaked in cold sweat, in fact, he took all the changing expressions of the man in red into his eyes, and he didn't need to think about it to know that this person was not as kind as he seemed to be, and now he summoned the forbidden codex, which made him feel the urge to turn around and run immediately.

But now he can't run, and he can't even make any scared looks, once that's the case, Long Chen suspects that he is very likely to be killed by the other party without hesitation.

"You should have seen this thing, right? Actually, I'm from the Xuanzong Palace, do you know the Beast Sect Palace? I'm a beast master......

The middle-aged man in red suddenly stopped when he said this, he seemed to think that talking about these things to a four or five-year-old child would not help, so he changed his words and said: "Hehe, this way, little guy, if you do me a favor, I will give you ten silver coins to buy candy to eat?"

Judging from the forbidden book in the other party's hand, Long Chen could be sure that the other party was not a beast master at all, at least he was also a beast master, and even, it was possible that he was a beast master!

The basis of Long Chen's judgment was because on the spine of the forbidden book floating above the palm of the opponent's hand, one of the translucent stones flashed with an extremely bright red light! The red light symbolized that the other party possessed the beast level Xuan Qi, and from the perspective of brightness, it surpassed the monarch-level Xuan Qi, and it was very likely that it represented the honorable level.

Beast Venerable, a venerable powerhouse, even in the Xuanzong Palace, is a very strong character, not to mention that it is by the river in a small town in Nanluo National Day Heavenly City, maybe there has never been a respectable powerhouse here for hundreds of years.

Long Chen had never seen the true strength of the Xuan, but he could feel the obvious deterrence from the floating forbidden book, he did not expect to meet such a powerful Xuanzhi, which caused a deep sense of fear in his heart to be irrepressible, because even in the state of control, he had no possibility of escaping from the hands of this middle-aged man in red.

Long Chen didn't doubt that the other party would kill him if he lost his patience, Long Furen could kick him out of the way when he was more than two years old, this man in red who was obviously not a good person, naturally he would not have any benevolence, he had to make a surprised look, like a child who was tempted, and nodded hurriedly.

The middle-aged man in red immediately took out a strangely shaped stone from his sleeve, walked over a few steps and stuffed it into Long Chen's hand, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, just keep this thing, don't let your parents know, come here tomorrow and wait for me, and I'll give you ten silver coins at that time." ”

Long Chen held the stone and nodded, feeling relieved.

The middle-aged man in red didn't seem to be at ease, he wanted to be fierce, but he seemed to be worried about the opposite effect, so he added very solemnly: "Don't lose it, if you lose it, Xuanzong Hall won't let go of your parents, it's actually very simple, isn't it? ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man in red suddenly touched Long Chen's head and asked with a smile, "Little guy, what's your name?"

Long Chen opened his mouth directly, pointed at his tongue and screamed, the middle-aged man in red was slightly stunned, extremely rudely reached out and pinched Long Chen's mouth, looked at Long Chen's tongue carefully, and found that Long Chen's tongue was born deformed, the tip of the tongue was folded, and it was almost close to his throat, no wonder he didn't speak.

However, this seemed to make the middle-aged man in red very satisfied and happy, and after admonishing and deterring Long Chen a few words again, the black forbidden book floating on the palm of his hand automatically opened, revealing a page with the image of a strange beast appearing, and then a red halo appeared under his feet, and the whole person disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Long Chen could only catch a glimpse of a small splash on the surface of the river from the corner of his eye, and he also showed a puzzled expression on his face like an ordinary child, turned around and looked around, and then carefully put the stone into his coat pocket, covered it with his hand and showed a happy expression, jumped and ran towards the hillside on the east bank, and finally disappeared on the hillside.

It was only at this time that the man in red lurking under the river showed his head and looked at the direction in which Long Chen had disappeared, breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled coldly, and said to himself: "Hehe, who would have thought that thing was in the hands of a little mute, tomorrow, as long as it is another day, that thing will completely belong to me, and no one will want to find me again." ”

After the words fell, the man in red sank to the bottom of the river, and he didn't know where to go.

Long Chen, who left the bank of the Qingrong River, ran towards the distance with a very happy expression, like a really happy little mute, but he was not happy at all in his heart, he was still full of fear, his heart was beating extremely fast, he didn't know how long he was going to act like this, he almost didn't dare to go home, he didn't dare to stop to see what the stone was.

Rebirth has been in this world for more than four years, almost five years, this is the first time Long Chen is so afraid, even in the face of Long Furen's kind of fierce and vicious people, he has never been afraid at all, even in the face of the old forest behind Xinling Town that can eat people, he has never been timid, so to speak, whether it is in the previous life or this life, Long Chen has never felt the fear that can threaten his life.

If he had a choice, Long Chen would never have taken the strange stone that the man stuffed, he was worth it that the guy was actually running for his life, the reason was the stone in his pocket!

That stone is enough to make such a mysterious person with superior strength flee for his life, but think about how much danger is hidden in this, this danger is not something that Long Chen can face now, nor can his parents face, I am afraid that the entire Xinling Town will not dare to face it.

But Longchen had no choice, he knew that if he didn't promise the man, he would definitely kill him, he had never found out that he was so afraid of death, so concerned about life and death, that he took the stone in order not to be killed, and didn't think about whether this stone would bring danger to his parents and whether it would bring danger to Xinling Town.

For the first time, Long Chen found out that he would be so helpless after encountering such a situation, he kept running, kept running, I don't know how long he ran, and his head just kept telling himself that he couldn't run to Xinling Town, and tried to stay away from Qingrong River, so far that he thought that men couldn't see him.

So, in the mountains and fields, there was a strange scene, a little boy running forward without restlessness, like a wind-up doll......
