Chapter 680: Going Round and Round

"Ding!"
Just as Lin Nantian was puzzled, the familiar voice sounded in his ears again, and Ran Ran sounded: "Successfully discovered the prince Cao Lan, and the completion of the trial is 2/3." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
And so it was!
Lin Nantian's eyes suddenly flashed, affirming his judgment.
The young man in front of him is indeed the prince!
The surname Cao must be the surname of the royal family of the Menglan Empire.
But...... Why did he hide his identity?
Afraid that someone will turn it against him?
If this is the case, why is he pretending to be Beiping Liang, the only son of the Menglan Empire's Beiping Liang General? If he is afraid that others will have an enmity with the Menglan Empire, wouldn't it be superfluous? Although the son of the imperial general is not as good as the son of the king of God, it is not far behind; if he wants to be saved, wouldn't it be more effective for people to directly reveal his identity as the prince?
This matter is very strange!
Lin Nantian looked at the young man, thought about it, and said coldly: "Since you are Cao Lan, you are a good prince, why do you want to pretend to be Beiping Liang?"
When the young man heard this, his face suddenly changed, he turned pale and weak, and subconsciously dodged and retreated, but behind him was a well, blocking his way, and he said, "You, how do you know my identity?"
Looking at the young man's panicked appearance, Lin Nantian became more and more sure in his heart what secret this son was hiding, if it weren't for this, he would never be so panicked and scared if his identity was revealed, a seven-year-old boy, no matter how good his background was and how good his teaching was, he was still a teenager...... "Since someone asked me to come to you." Lin Nantian sneered.
"Who, who sent you?" said the young man nervously, his hands covering his chest as if in extreme fear.
The young man's actions had already aroused Lin Nantian's suspicions, he had been holding his chest just now, as if he was afraid, but as if he wanted to protect "something", ...... "It's not important, if you hand over the things with understanding, maybe I can still save your life." ”
"What, what?!"
The young man's pupils were full of horror, his body trembled unconsciously, and his face was pale and weak. Lin Nantian had suddenly realized at this time that his guess was completely accurate, and the reason why Cao Lan hid his identity was indeed to protect the "thing" in his arms.
And now the road in front of Lin Nantian seems to have become clearer - to protect Cao Lan and protect the "things" he guards. Since discovering Cao Lan in the trial will be 1/3 of the task, then the last 1/3 must have something to do with him, but it has nothing to do with those ordinary villagers and this innocent village.
Killing the army of skeletons is obviously unrealistic, and killing the necromancer? Lin Nantian still can't find a way.
But with a seven-year-old boy who broke out of this army of skeletons, Lin Nantian asked himself if he was still sure.
But...... Is this really the final part of the trial?
Lin Nantian hesitated, the trial had reached the final moment, and he was not qualified to make mistakes.
There is no doubt that this is not just a trial, but also a task, a delicate multiple-choice question.
Seeing that the skeleton army was approaching the village again, Lin Nantian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he made up his final decision.
"Peng!"
The movements were quite decisive and concise, and a crisp hand knife directly hit Cao Lan in the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious. Lin Nantian reached out with his right hand lightly, and took out the "thing" he had been trying to hide from Cao Lan's arms.
Open the tight cloth of the bag, a ray of light instantly appeared in front of Lin Nantian, it was a pale gold ring, the style was generous, very noble, the ring was not big, but it was full of mysterious atmosphere, and it was extraordinary at a glance.
"Space Ring. ”
Lin Nantian put the pale gold ring in his hand, slowly exuding Yuan Force, and everything in the ring suddenly appeared in front of his eyes without reservation.
"Wow!"
Lin Nantian gasped, Rao is rich and rivaled the country, and he couldn't help but feel frightened by the huge amount of wealth in the ring.
“1,2,3......”
Fifteen anonymous purple magic gold cards!
In other words, not counting the others, there are as many as 150 billion magic gold coins in this ring alone!
It is almost the sum of the current national inventory of the Chengtian Kingdom and the Yanyang Kingdom!
In addition to the purple magic gold card, there is also a pure gold sword and a square and strange item in the ring.
Taking out the golden sword and feeling the strange energy contained in the sword, Lin Nantian's eyes couldn't help but be dull, this energy ...... It's so familiar!
In the Land of Wealth, he had felt it on the Blade of Divine Judgment.
Same!
Far beyond the energy contained in the Golden Blood Knife.
The level of the two is completely different!
As for the square and strange item, Lin Nantian has never seen it, it is made of a very peculiar jade, carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, lifelike, especially the eyes, it is the finishing touch, as if it has come to life, there is no doubt that the one who carved this dragon must be a very famous carver, with a magical skill.
Although Lin Nantian didn't understand what the purpose of this "strange item" was, he could vaguely guess that it should be similar to the token left to him by Zhuge Li's predecessors, if nothing else, because this "strange item" is very similar to a certain thing in his previous life - jade seal!
"No wonder he wants to hide his identity, this ring is too precious, if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it is indeed ......"
Lin Nantian sighed lightly, but he knew that this was just a trial, not the real world, even if he coveted this ring at the moment, it would be useless, and it would lead to the end of the trial.
The key is how he should do it now.
"Do you follow the original plan and protect him to break out, or do you take this priceless ring with countless secrets and leave alone?" Lin Nantian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There wasn't much time left for Lin Nantian to think about it, and the skeleton army outside the village was gathering again at this moment, getting closer and closer, and it was in danger. And he didn't have much Yuan power left, Qing Yuan Dan's medicine surname was getting worse and worse, the side effects were getting more and more obvious, and the large-scale killing surname Yuan Demon Technique could no longer be used a few times.
Obviously, it's time to make a decision again!
But Lin Nantian actually didn't have to think about it so much, because this choice was not the last 1/3 of the experience, it was just about the treasure of the final reward...... The golden light in his left hand flashed, and the golden blood knife appeared in Lin Nantian's hand in an instant, and with a "bang", Cao Lan, who was already unconscious, was killed by Lin Nantian completely unconscious, his head fell to the ground, and the knife was fatal, Lin Nantian's eyes flashed with a cold gaze, and he didn't care about the life and death of the young man at all, for him, this was just a trial, and killing him was only necessary for the task.
Because at the last moment, the words spoken by the mysterious voice when entering the trial land resurfaced in Lin Nantian's mind - "To become a real dragon among people, this is not enough, the next trial will return to a battle five thousand years ago......"
A dragon among men?
Isn't it the emperor!
What reward would you get if you escorted this young man who had the status of a prince safely, but what would you get if you took the ring for yourself?
Comparing the two, the results are clear at a glance. Lin Nantian believed that if he played the role of a 5,000-year-old cultivator, that person would definitely make the same choice as himself!
Lin Nantian's guess was not wrong at all, this scene five thousand years ago was indeed as he expected, Cao Lan's head was different, the ring was missing, and the Menglan Empire, which had lost the jade seal of the country and the sword of the emperor, was in chaos, there was no heir to the throne, and the princes from all walks of life vied to revolt, and the originally unified empire was instantly torn apart and chaotic.
After decades of war, the true Son of Heaven finally appeared again, holding the sword of the emperor and reunifying the continent.
And this true son of heaven is the mysterious person who killed Cao Lan and seized the ring back then!
If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to be informal!
Being ruthless is the most basic requirement for emperors.
If Lin Nantian had been in the past, he would not have made such a choice, no matter how dangerous it was, he would have taken Cao Lan to break through, and now Lin Nantian, who has experienced so many tribulations, has already become ruthless...... "ding" sound did not sound, Cao Lan's death did not trigger the point of the trial, Lin Nantian already understood in his heart that although he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, it was obviously not the task of the last 1/3 of the trial, if the last 1/ of the trial/ 3's task is for him to escort Cao Lan out of here safely, so Cao Lan's death represents the end of the trial.
"What exactly is the mission of the last 1/3 of the trial?"
Lin Nantian's expression was very solemn, not caring at all about the gazes of the surrounding villagers, and pondering.
"Knock! knock!"
The skeleton army was getting closer and closer to the village, and although Lin Nantian had not yet figured out the key point, he could not allow him to hesitate much at the moment, and the yuan power of his hands burst out, and he wanted to perform the combination technique again.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Nantian paused, as he noticed the difference between the skeleton army.
I don't know if it's a delusion, he now feels that with such a large army of skeletons, the target seems to have changed, from the village, to him!?
This...... Lin Nantian was not surprised, the dawn appeared in his heart, and he finally figured out the key point.
It turns out that the last 1/3 of the mission of the trial is to escape the skeleton army with this ring safely!
The pale red Yuan Force flashed suddenly, Lin Nantian's body was extremely weird, and he had already rushed into the group of skeletons in an instant, and as he expected, all the skeletons focused on him, but they ignored the innocent villagers in the village.
It would have been difficult for an ordinary Yuan Emperor-level Yuan cultivator to get rid of this extremely large army of skeletons, but for Lin Nantian, this was too small...... Even if he doesn't have the strength of the ancestor level, with his footwork skills, he can come and go freely in this army of skeletons, so what's the difficulty!
After all, although this skeleton army is huge, its individual strength is very weak, there are only a few dozen skeleton generals at the Yuan Emperor and Yuan Ancestor levels, and they are scattered around, Lin Nantian only needs to face a few at most at the same time, how can such a weak force pose a threat to him!
Although Lin Nantian didn't know how the necromancer knew that the ring was in his hand, it didn't matter anymore, just like he could find out where the necromancer was, it wasn't unusual for the necromancer to find out where the ring was.
The villagers in the village looked at Lin Nantian and the skeleton army who were gradually moving away, and the hanging boulder in their hearts finally fell, and they did have an indescribable feeling of escaping death...... One chase, one escapes.
Escaping, for Lin Nantian, is as easy as instinct.
In terms of speed, even the strongest skeleton general in the skeleton army didn't even have half the speed of Lin Nantian, how could he stop Lin Nantian, who was bent on breaking through?
However, is it really that easy to do the final 1/3 of the trial?
Lin Nantian ran for half an hour in a row, leaving the skeleton army far behind, however, the familiar voice did not appear, although he was now very safe and the ring was in his hand, however, he still had not completed the last 1/3 of the task of the trial.
What's going on?
Lin Nantian didn't understand, and there was no hint to guide him on what to do, but now he had a lot of time for him to rest and think.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Nantian's mind combed through this trial over and over again from beginning to end...... When half an hour passed, the skeleton army reappeared, and Lin Nantian already understood in his heart that it turned out that the task of the last 1/3 of the trial had not changed from beginning to end, and that was to kill the death mage!
The reason is very simple, because he had indeed left the skeleton army far behind just now, but no matter how far apart they were, the skeleton army still followed each other like a shadow, as if Lin Nantian walked to the ends of the earth, they would follow to the ends of the earth, as long as Lin Nantian had this ring in his hand, he would not be able to escape the necromancer's tracking.
By this time, the trial task had been fully understood, and everything had become transparent and clear.
went around and around, but returned to the original point, this impossible task hit his heart again, and Lin Nantian couldn't help frowning.
Don't...... Really want to fight a bitter war of attrition?
But back to the original logic, how could an ordinary Yuan Emperor-level Yuan cultivator defeat such a large army of skeletons?
The only way is to kill the necromancer who can't be killed.
Lin Nantian smiled bitterly, only to feel that his head seemed to be painful, as if he had fallen into a maze that he couldn't get out of. This trial is completely different from the first place of trial, if the first place of trial tests the combat strength of the cultivator, then this place of trial tests the observation and resourcefulness of the cultivator.
There must be a way to hide a necromancer, and it's likely to be very simple!
Lin Nantian understood it in his heart, but he couldn't grasp that key point, and his heart seemed to be crawling with thousands of ants, which was unbearable.
Wait a minute!
Lin Nantian suddenly thought of something.
Something that didn't happen when I first tried to kill a necromancer.
Ring!
It's the ring!
If the biggest difference between this time and the army of skeletons just encountered is that he has an extra ring at this moment.
And inside the ring...... It's the sword!
That golden sword full of righteousness!
Lin Nantian jumped up suddenly, and couldn't help laughing, excited that he had found the key to the problem.
Unlike the Divine Blade he saw in the Land of Wealth, although this sword Lin Nantian felt that its strength was not inferior to the Divine Blade, it did not resist itself!
The first time he took out the sword from the ring, he didn't feel any discomfort other than feeling the terrifying and abnormal energy and monstrous righteousness in the sword.
Try it and find out!
Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Nantian suddenly output yuan power, and suddenly, a high-pitched dragon groan came from the sword, the originally golden sword instantly became golden, and a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon appeared on the sword, which was very similar to the five-clawed golden dragon on the object that seemed to be a "jade seal".
What a huge force!
Lin Nantian's face was extremely shocked, and he was horrified by the power that the sword possessed.
His Yuan Force, integrated into the power of the sword, seemed to sink into the sea, and he didn't even feel it, and it was completely worthless.
Despite this, he was still able to control the sword, and although it was not his own strength, he was still able to do as he pleased.
With the sword in his hand, there was no need for Lin Nantian to observe it anymore, the heroic righteousness in the sword seemed to have a navigator, and it had locked the breath of the necromancer in an instant, and Lin Nantian's mind turned, and he immediately rushed into the skeleton army with the sword.
Kill!
Kill! Kill!
Lin Nantian felt as if his body was dominated by the sword, his hands waved unconsciously, his eyes became extremely red, and all the skeletons that were swept by the sword turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, as if they had suddenly evaporated, but it was completely different from when he was killed by an ordinary magic weapon.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The power of the sword was quite terrifying, Lin Nantian didn't consume even a trace of Yuan Power at all, and he had killed nearly a thousand skeletons along the way.
Effortlessly!
Lin Nantian felt that he had become a sword instead, this sword had completely dominated him, he knew in his heart, but there was a spirit in the sword, and his strength was far inferior to the sword spirit, so instead of him dominating this sword, it was this sword that dominated him. This is exactly the same as a true spirit weapon, the treasure with spiritual consciousness is a double-edged sword, it may be powerful, but it can also cut itself hard.
Although this was just a trial, Lin Nantian still felt very uncomfortable, and this feeling of being controlled made him feel like an ant, very unbearable.
Killing all the way and killing countless skeletons, Lin Nantian's eyes burned, and he had already discovered the necromancer's location, and the black cloak completely exposed his location.
As if feeling the power of the sword, the "skeleton warrior" wearing a black cloak looked frightened, and wanted to retreat and flee, however, at this moment, how could Lin Nantian let him go...... Whether it is a skeleton warrior or a necromancer, its melee strength is undoubtedly a world of difference compared to Lin Nantian.
The golden sword once again matched Lin Nantian's actions, cutting through an incomparably wonderful arc, as if falling from the sky, and directly slashed into the back of the neck of the "Skeleton Samurai".
"Ahh
A hysterical scream was interrupted in an instant.
"Whew!"
Like the other skeletons slain by the sword, the head of the "Skeleton Samurai" wearing a black cloak had not yet fallen, and it disappeared with its body, disappearing without a trace, except for the black cloak, which slowly fell from mid-air...... Lin Nantian stretched out his hand to take the black cloak, his eyes were outstanding, and at this time, the long-lost voice appeared in his ears again.
