Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Golden Toad Neidan
On the periphery of the entire Blackwood Secret Realm Teleportation Array, there are pitch-black trees that are dozens of meters high and can only be hugged by five people. The black wood is straight upwards and rarely forks, except for some branches at the top to absorb some nutrients.
Lin Chen, who walked out of the stone house, carefully looked at the secret realm in front of him, the entire black wood secret realm was vast, with mountain peaks and plains, but it was desolate and, very few living creatures were seen, more of this kind of black wood was patches of black wood. There was a not-so-bright ball of light hanging from the gray sky, and not a single breeze could be felt in the air.
Not far away, a group of about thirty people was cutting down the black wood here, half of them were in charge of felling, and half of them were in charge of guarding. Although this place is next to the teleportation array, there are usually no demon beasts appearing. The value of these black woods is not high, but they can't bear the large number, and it is inevitable that some unscrupulous people will take risks.
The tools used by these people to cut the black wood are also peculiar, the sharp round iron piece is fixed to one end of the wooden frame, and the other end is framed into a huge grinding disc handle, and the person only needs to push and turn the handle at one end of the wooden frame, and the iron piece will naturally cut the black wood by itself.
"Let's go, Brother Chen, let's familiarize ourselves with the environment in the periphery first, and then go deeper" Mu Xiaochuan behind him woke up from dizziness slower than Lin Chen because of his cultivation. Mu Xiaochuan shook his head, his eyes adjusted to the light a little, and then patted Lin Chen's shoulder from behind. I took out the map I bought earlier, discerned the direction a little, and led the way.
Three days later, in an open area in the middle of nowhere, Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan sat on the ground and rested separately. As for the two living zombies, they were sent out by Lin Chen to guard against people or demon beasts.
In the past three days, Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan have been operating more in the secret outer perimeter, and according to the outline on the map, they have avoided several fierce places, but they have not encountered too much danger. But along the way, there are many people who seek money and kill people, and there are not a few people who kill people and steal goods. There are no law enforcement patrols here, and there are no taboos! Lin Chen finally understood that the danger of the entire secret realm was not actually a demon beast or a prohibition, but a human heart.
"Huh" Lin Chen, who was originally sitting on the ground, let out a breath of turbidity, then opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked calmly at the southwest direction. There is a dark wood forest to the southwest, but there is nothing unusual about the black wood forest at this time.
Mu Xiaochuan, who heard the movement on the side, then also stood up and looked at the southwest with Lin Chen's eyes, somewhat puzzled, but he was embarrassed to bring it up, so he had to wait and see what happened.
After three breaths, Mu Xiaochuan sighed softly, only to see a loud noise in the originally quiet black wood.
Before Mu Xiaochuan's voice fell, a red light flashed out from the black wood. The red light flashed again, and it went straight to Lin Chen's place.
"Please also ask this fellow Daoist to stay" Lin Chen still stood there calmly, but his hands were hidden in his sleeves, secretly wary. That red light Lin Chen could see clearly that it was a female cultivator who had performed some kind of blood escape method.
The red light stopped thirty meters away from Lin Chen and the others, revealing a wonderful figure. The woman has a pretty appearance, red phoenix eyes, thin lips, snow skin, and a goose yellow gauze dress that is loose, but it is difficult to hide her bumpy figure. It's just that at this time, the female cultivator's face was pale and a little terrifying, and even her eyes, which should have been bright, were dull at this time. His hair was already scattered, and he looked embarrassed. But a beauty is a beauty, and even if she is down, there is another sense of pity.
The girl saw Lin Chen and the others obviously stunned, then turned her head to look behind her, gritted her silver teeth, and shouted like a yellow bird, "Big brother, is it you? You're finally here! If you come one step too late, you won't be able to see me!"
The girl cried while talking, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, and the Great Wall fell for it. However, the girl cried and cried, her feet were not sloppy, and after a few flashes, she walked in front of Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan. If it weren't for each other's wariness, I'm afraid the girl would have jumped into Lin Chen or Mu Xiaochuan's arms and cried at this time.
As for Lin Chen, he secretly looked at the girl in front of him, she was not very old, and her cultivation was the same as herself, she was in the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. This kind of qualification is not bad, coupled with the cute appearance, I think I am not less worried about some wild bees and butterflies on weekdays. But judging from his relatively simple dress, he is not a light person.
"Yo, this little lady even has a big brother?" The girl had not been able to take more than three breaths out of the dark woods when a group of monks of as many as five people caught up, including a woman. It was one of the middle-aged men who was short in stature and obscene-looking.
"Big brother, hey boy" Among the five people, a burly man with a big figure took a step forward and pointed to Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan not far away, wanting to ask something.
However, Lin Chen is not a fool, he didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and directly stated his identity, "Everyone, I have never lived with this girl in the next place." The relationship between you and her has nothing to do with me, I just happen to rest here. Now that I'm resting, I'm going to say goodbye."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, turned around and threw Mu Xiaochuan a look, and was about to turn around and leave.
Isn't this kind of thing obvious that he was led by ** Shuidong, he and the other party have never been alive, why do you want to make a move? If it was just a gesture, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't mind helping, but now there are five people on the other side, and their strength is not weak, and they are willing to be used as guns? Unless Lin Chen's brain is rusty.
"So that's the case, then forget it! You guys go quickly, we have some personal matters to deal with with this little girl!" the big man lowered his head and thought for a while, and then understood the key. The five of them had already killed the girl's companion just now, and they shouldn't have run into the other party's reinforcements so coincidentally in such a short period of time. Thinking about it, it should really be as Lin Chen said, it's just a matter of causing trouble.
Now that he understands the key, Dahan doesn't have too much entanglement. Their top priority is to get their hands on things, and it is naturally best to be able to avoid extraneous branches.
Mu Xiaochuan on the side is not a fool, and he is not the kind of guy who can't sell when he sees a beautiful woman, and he is impulsive and hurts his brain. At this time, he also arched his hand at the other party and signaled goodbye. turned around and followed behind Lin Chen, heading in the other direction, not glancing at the girl who was stunned in place.
"You hum" The pear blossom who was originally standing aside and crying brought rain, and the poor girl was also coquettish, stomped her little feet, and was secretly annoyed. If she were like this on weekdays, there would have been countless people who claim to be upright and gentlemen to "administer justice" for her. But who would have thought that Lin Chen and the others would walk clean today, and they didn't even look at her more. When the girl was secretly angry, she was a little inexplicable and lost in her heart.
"Big brother, this little girl's skin is really good, you see if you can give her to the brothers when you get something, hehe" It was still the lewd man before, his eyes looked at the girl in the distance unscrupulously, and he didn't even shy away from staying at some key parts. In addition to the leader, the remaining two men also understood and smiled obscenely, as if the girl was already a turtle in the urn!
But this analogy is not wrong, the girl has used blood escape many times, and the yuan power in her body has already been exhausted at this time, plus she has lost too much blood, and now she can't raise a trace of strength at all, let alone escape.
"You people can't think of anything else in their heads, it's really obscene!" the only woman glared at her, and said angrily to express her protest, which of course meant to say.
"Second and fourth, you catch this stinky girl for me!" It was not the big man just now who gave the order, but another scholar dressed as a monk who looked a little weak and unruly.
As for the second child in his mouth, it is the lewd man, and the fourth child is the big man who asked just now.
"Don't come here!" the girl looked nervously at the two monks who had come slowly, and then shouted and retreated, as if she knew what was going to happen next, and gradually stopped crying.
The girl looked at the five people chasing her, and then looked back at Lin Chen and the two who had walked out dozens of meters away, and the silver teeth bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he cast a bloody escape again. The girl flickered, came first, stopped in front of Lin Chen and Mu Xiaochuan, and shouted in her mouth
"If you two are willing to save me, I am willing to give you this treasure this time!"
"Slut, you dare!" the two men behind him naturally heard the girl's words clearly, and shouted angrily at the same time.
However, Lin Chen didn't seem to care about the person behind him at all, he just looked at the girl in front of him lightly and said, "No matter how good the treasure is, you have to have a life to enjoy it!"
"You" girl is momentarily temperamental, but what people say is right. No matter how good the treasure is, it's useless to enjoy it without life. But the two in front of them are their last chance to live, and they can't just give up.
"Don't you look down on Jin Toad Neidan?" the girl stared at Lin Chen's eyes, if Lin Chen didn't even feel like this, then he really couldn't help it.
