Night falls.

Grief hangs over the hearts of every survivor like a dark cloud that can't eat or sleep.

Chen Lin walked alone to a stream and washed the dried blood on his face with the icy water.

Drops of clear water, perhaps mixed with a few tears, lingered on his face.

Chen Lin's heart was in turmoil, and when he closed his eyes, the tragic scenes would appear in his mind, more than forty lives, temporary members, and brothers who got along day and night, died because of his proposal and decision to hunt the saber-toothed tiger, and he didn't know how to face the family of the deceased.

He took out a dim chip in his pocket, stared at it for a long time, and felt even more ashamed of the deceased: "I, Chen Lin, am sorry for you. ”

This is the saber-toothed tiger's demon spirit crystal nucleus, which he didn't take into account.

The brilliance of this demon core is dim, and there is a scratch on the surface, indicating that this saber-toothed tiger used to be a big demon, for some reason, the demon core was damaged, its strength was greatly reduced, and the spiritual power fluctuations were weakened to the level of ordinary demon beasts, but even so, its physical body was a real big demon level, and its strength and will were not comparable to ordinary demon beasts......

No one can predict this situation, but Chen Lin prefers to think that it is his own problem, he has been staying in Xishan Town all these years, the changes in the past and the busy life now make him no longer pursue a stronger self, many years have passed, his strength has even regressed, and what he used to be able to see through at a glance is now no longer good.

"Captain, captain?" Chihuang stood behind Chen Lin, but the latter didn't seem to hear it, Chihuang stretched out his hand and patted Chen Lin's shoulder, and Chen Lin came back to his senses.

"It's so late, hurry up and go back to rest, and I'm going to leave for Xishan Town tomorrow." Chen Lin put away the demon core and said to Chihuang.

Chihuang sat down next to Chen Lin and asked a very strange question.

"Is human life really cheap?" Chihuang asked.

"Why do you ask like this...... Chen Lin was very surprised, and he was a little caught off guard.

"When hunting during the day, so many people died in less than an hour, is the value of these people's lives just to hunt that saber-toothed tiger?" Chihuang then asked.

"No, of course not, although in the eyes of the saber-toothed tigers, their lives are like mustard, but for us, they are the bravest hunters, and their lives are priceless!"

"Sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, it's not that life is cheap, it's just helpless......"

"Is there nothing to be done...... "Chi Huang seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"Well, helpless, they are helpless, and I am the same, if I am strong enough, it will not be like this." Chen Lin sighed.

"So, how do you become strong enough?" Chihuang asked.

"Naturally, it is through cultivation ......" Chen Lin was once again surprised by Chi Huang's question, it is through cultivation that he can become stronger, this is something that children of several years old know, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you even know what cultivation is?" ”

"I don't know, no one has ever told me in the mine before, and I have only heard people talk about these two words after I escaped, but I don't understand what it means." Chihuang replied.

"Mine, escape," Chen Lin's face suddenly changed after hearing what Chi Huang said, and he asked Chi Huang: "Are you a miner who escaped from the mine?" ”

Chihuang nodded.

"Have you ever told anyone about this?"

"Nope."

"Remember, no matter what time or occasion, you can't say that you have escaped from the mines, and if someone asks about you, you tell him that you are a refugee abandoned by other Chi tribes, understand?" Chen Lin's expression was serious.

"Well, I'm not going to tell anyone." Chihuang nodded.

The old man in the mine also warned him that after escaping the mine, he should never mention this matter to others, and he understood the seriousness of this, and it was out of trust that he confessed it to Chen Lin.

"Okay, let's go back, we're going to leave for Xishan Town tomorrow, we can't be listless." Chen Lin rubbed Chi Huang's head.

The two got up, turned their heads, and saw two ill-intentioned men standing behind them.

Chen Lin remembered that these two people were temporary members of the hunting team, and when the saber-toothed tiger was angry, the two of them hid behind everyone and were very cowardly, so Chen Lin was more impressed by these two people.

"Originally, I just came to ask for the saber-toothed tiger demon core, but I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain!"

The two of them took off their disguises and sneered, with a heavy killing intent hidden under their robes.

"Are you from the Ghost Flame Clan? What is the purpose of your participation in the hunting party? Chen Lin knew that the two people in front of him were by no means good, and if they could perceive the existence of the demon core, they must not be ordinary people.

"Chen Lin, when you ran away angrily and came to the poor countryside of Xishan Town, but the boss knew that your ability was not small, so let's keep an eye on you a little more, since we know our identity, then hand over the demon core and this cheap slave."

"You want to conceal the identity of this cheap slave, the original crime is unforgivable, but for the sake of the demon core, we can not pursue it."

Although the two of the Ghost Yan Clan were aggressive, they were still somewhat jealous of Chen Lin and did not force him to a dead end.

"The demon core is mine, people, you can't take it away!" Chen Lin didn't eat their set, he knew that these people were ruthless, if Chihuang was allowed to fall into their hands, the end would definitely be worse than death.

"This demon core is the result of the battle that you should pay, as for this cheap slave, he is a fugitive, and sooner or later he will not escape death, why do you want to be an enemy of us for him?"

"I repeat, man, I won't let you take you. Also, I am no longer a member of the 'Hunters', you have not provided any assistance to my hunt, and I do not have to pay you the results of the hunt. ”

"Do you think you'll quit the 'Hunters' by tearing up your contract? Without the permission of the Grand Master, you will always belong to the 'Hunter', according to the rules set by the Grand Master, if you do not pay 30% of the hunting results, you are violating the contract, and you should know what the consequences are! This slave is a fugitive from the mines, and if you want to protect him, be prepared to die with him! Seeing that Chen Lin was not soft, the two of the Ghost Yan clan threatened Chen Lin with words.

Chen Lin refused to back down, he set his eyes in the direction of the two Ghost Yan Clan, but it didn't fall on them, but the dark night behind them.

"That's it, I should follow the rules set by the Grand Master." Chen Lin sighed helplessly.

"You know each other." The two of the Ghost Yan Clan didn't expect it to be so easy, after all, easy compromise was not in line with Chen Lin's character, so they didn't let down their guard, but they were too defensive of Chen Lin, so they ignored their backs.

Shout! Shout!

Two steel needles pierced the back of the necks of the two of them, and the needles were full of toxin, which invaded the whole body in an instant.

Chen Lin was quick and ended the lives of the two of them!

"Why are you here?" Chen Lin asked the figure in the night.

"I saw that the two of them were sneakily following you, so I followed them too, what are you going to do with them?" Qiu Chan walked up to Chen Lin and asked.

It turned out that Chen Lin had just made a small move, which was one of the tacit understandings formed by him and Qiu Chan in their perennial cooperation, representing the attack.

After Qiu Chan saw it, she immediately threw out two poisonous needles and assisted Chen Lin in killing the two people of the Ghost Yan Clan.

"The identities of these two people are not ordinary, I am afraid that they will cause a lot of movement, and it is best to forge a false image that cannot be suspected." Chen Lin's expression was solemn.

"The saber-toothed tiger went berserk and slaughtered living beings, and the two of them unfortunately died?" Qiu Chan said.

"It seems like the best option."

"But the hands and eyes of the Ghost Yan Clan are all over the sky, unless the corpse is destroyed, it will definitely be exposed, but ......" Chen Lin was very embarrassed, he had personally experienced it and experienced the methods of the Ghost Yan Clan, so he didn't dare to be lucky.

Qiu Chan naturally understood Chen Lin's difficulties, in front of the Ghost Yan Clan, if she wanted to destroy the corpses, she couldn't just destroy these two corpses......

Faced with this situation, no matter how decisive Chen Lin's character is, he will hesitate.

"You take him back to rest first, and let me think about what to do with it." Chen Lin said.

Chen Lin turned his head to look at Chihuang, the latter didn't have much fear on his face, just glanced at him more, at this time, he didn't care too much, as long as he didn't scare Chihuang.

Qiu Chan took Chihuang back to the camp, and Chen Lin sat on the ground with his butt and kept beating his head, which was perhaps the most hesitant for him.

He did not regret this decision, but he would feel guilty, and he had to become this "murderer", which made it even more difficult for him to let go.
