Chapter 169: Lin Rong is attacked

Tian Jihong also nodded, he was still very concerned about Shopkeeper Lin, who had taken care of himself and his younger brother many times in the past two years. If the former is allowed to be intercepted by that Qianbiao without knowing it, and there will be any unpleasantness at that time, just with Lin Rong's half-hanging strength, I am afraid that he will not be that Qianbiao's opponent at all.

Since Li Ming didn't know when he would return from this trip, after some advice before leaving, the two agreed to meet in the village at the latest at the auction of Tianbao Pavilion two days later. After that, the two started to act separately, due to the special situation, Tianjihong did not dare to leave his younger brother at home alone, so he rushed to the village with the latter, and temporarily sent Tianjifei to the home of the village chief of Huai.

The words were divided into two ends, and at this time, the shopkeeper Lin and his son Lin Rong, who had been in a hurry early in the morning, had already embarked on the road to Dongsheng Town. Because they were worried about the possible attack of spirit beasts around them, the two of them were full of caution and caution in their steps, but the journey was unexpectedly smooth, and it was not until the two of them were about to arrive at the fork in the road when Tianjihong returned from the mountains and forests two days ago, that Lin Rong, who was half a monk, noticed that the situation around him was a little delicate.

Speaking of which, Lin Rongzhi's cultivation is no more than the appearance of the late stage of the body refining realm, but because he has been engaged in messenger duties for many years, he has traveled back and forth to the village and the outside world all year round, and he is still very sensitive to the perception of his body; He also condensed his fighting soul in Dongsheng Town early, and he would not be too weak in terms of soul power cultivation than Tianjihong, who started later.

At this time, when he suddenly noticed that the birds and beasts in the forest had stopped the noise, Lin Rong suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation, and his first reaction was to protect his unarmed father behind him. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind the shopkeeper of the danger coming, he felt a "pop" between the two dense forests on his side, and six or seven masked black shadows with knives jumped out of the bushes. In the blink of an eye, several people besieged the father and son of the Lin family in the center.

"Who are you? Do you dare to rob the street in broad daylight? Lin Rong scolded sharply. For the sake of safety, the road taken by himself and his father is the main road where caravans often pass on weekdays, and he has been a messenger for so many years in his life, and he has never seen such a blatant robber who dares to intercept travelers on the street.

It's just that none of the several black shadows that gradually surrounded him made a sound, only a few people moved in steps, but intentionally or unintentionally exposed the retreat of the father and son who were besieged in the center, Lin Rong, who had some combat experience, immediately discovered the loophole in the encirclement, so he hurriedly pushed his father behind him to the rear where the guards were not so tight, and secretly instructed the latter to break through to the rear with his hand.

However, the shopkeeper Lin behind him shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I can't just return to the village like this, what the village chief told the two of us to complete must be done, otherwise I will go back in vain today, and I don't know how many people will die in the hands of that beast." ”

Lin Rong paused, nodded his head to show understanding, and replied quietly: "Dad, just rest assured to go back, I have a general look at this group of guys, the general cultivation is not too high, as long as you get out safely, I am completely sure that I can deal with these guys." Even if you can't defeat them, it's not a matter of getting out of these guys' hands; You hurry back to the village and inform the village chief that they are wary of this gang of outlaws, and leave the matter over there in Dongsheng Town to me. ”

Shopkeeper Lin didn't have any better way at this time, so he could only follow Lin Rong's arrangement and slowly retreat towards the rear of the encirclement. At this time, Lin Rong, who was nervous all the time, was finally a little surprised to find that for the two of them gradually breaking through to the rear, the black shadows beside him not only did not attack violently, but deliberately gave way to a road, as if they were deliberately going to let the two leave.

For such a group of strange robbers who had no intention of killing their lives for money, but were silent and did not make any demands, Lin Rong subconsciously seemed to feel a little abnormal, but at the moment of crisis and the important mission on his shoulders, he didn't have time to think about the reason, and he still planned to proceed according to the original plan. Anyway, at this time, several people did not mean to harm the father and son, and Lin Rong, who was worried about the safety of his father behind him, was also happy to see such a scene.

At the moment when he sensed that the two of them were about to get rid of the siege of the robbers, Lin Rong knew that if he didn't do it again, he would have no chance, so he didn't think further about why the other party didn't move, and directly changed his previous cowering appearance and shouted loudly to let his father behind him flee for his life, and he immediately took out a short gun from the storage bag as a weapon, and attacked the few people in front of him first.

The shopkeeper Lin who was connected with the father and son behind him also immediately understood, and directly got up and ran towards the dense forest covered by shrubs on the side, and disappeared from the field of vision of several people in a few blinks of an eye. On the other hand, those masked robbers obviously had no defense against Lin Rong who took the initiative to attack them, and they didn't expect in their plans that this young man who had cultivated to the realm of refining the body in front of him would dare to take a huge risk to attack them.

However, as a good player, they quickly reacted, and several people were ordered to block the father and son's way to Dongsheng Town at all costs, and if necessary, to obtain permission to settle the two on the spot. It's just that it's not their intention to let one of them go back to report the news, if Lin Rong is killed here like this, then the shopkeeper Lin will go back and tell the matter, and his party and the Donglin Village will inevitably have a blood feud and never die, which is not what they want to see.

Therefore, fortunately, there are such concerns, and as a last resort, several people are always unwilling to kill Lin Rong who is coming on, which gives the latter a fleeting opportunity. It's a pity that Lin Rong, who has taken the lead and advantage, is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of cultivation, and in terms of numbers, he is even more defeated by one enemy and seven, after seizing the opportunity to stab two of them with a short gun at the beginning, it is quite difficult for Lin Rong to find such a rare fighter.

Lin Rong also understood that he couldn't be entangled anymore at this time, and the few people who were on guard had quickly gotten rid of the predicament of being beaten passively at the beginning, and began to gradually gain the upper hand. What made him even more unsettling was that the opponent was obviously prepared, and the two shots he was lucky to stab were all hit in the opponent's arm or thigh, which was obviously difficult to endanger the opponent's life, at most it could only delay the opponent's offensive rhythm. The few times he stabbed the opponent's body was obviously resisted by the armor lining the opponent's body, and did not cause any obvious damage.

Seeing that the faces of the few people in front of him gradually became gloomy, and there was no mercilessness at the beginning, Lin Rong, who suddenly felt the pressure, knew that it was time for him to get out. In the moment when he shook a shot at the face of one of them, causing several people on his right hand to subconsciously retreat, Lin Rong quickly took out a broken sigil that had already been prepared in his hand.

Compared with Tian Jihong's wealth and wealth, which directly swept away the treasures in the stall, this Lin Rong obviously did not have such strong financial resources to equip himself with a life-saving artifact like a refuge talisman and a shulker talisman. However, as a messenger who is away all the year round, he still has some life-saving props in his hands.

At this time, the sigil it sacrificed in mid-air is called [Mist Talisman], and its effect is through the urging of spiritual power, which can generate a mist that temporarily blocks the perception of soul power at a range of about ten meters around the body, which can block the opponent's detection and leave a chance for himself to escape. Of course, from this description, it can be seen that compared to a life-saving weapon like a shulker talisman, this mist talisman is obviously of much lower quality, and the price on the market on weekdays is only one-third of the former.

In addition to the fact that this mist talisman can only deceive ordinary monks with low soul power cultivation, its soul power blocking effect is still effective at the same time for both the enemy and the enemy, which means that if a person is not careful, if the caster is scurrying around in the fog, it is easy for him to find his own direction and even collide directly with the opponent. Even if you really succeed in escaping, the time that this fog can last is very short, and if you are accidentally detected by the other party about the escape path, and your own cultivation is not as good as the other party, you will eventually be unable to escape the end of being caught up by the latter, which is too different from the hidden talisman that has stabilized and escaped.

However, fortunately, the cultivation of several people in front of Lin Rong was not too high, and Lin Rong himself had some experience in the use of this mist talisman, so he had already determined a suitable way out through perception before he sacrificed the talisman. So while a few people were dazed by the fog in the sky, Lin Rong quietly approached the promising breakthrough line beside him, and a dodge shuttled between the two masked people who were unprepared, and then quickly urged the spiritual power around him to rush towards Dongsheng Town.

The mist's effect lasted less than two minutes, and even before that, one or two of the seven had already run out of the mist's range on their own by mistake. However, these two people were not the leaders of the few, and before receiving the order, the two did not directly chase after the fleeing Lin Rong, but first rescued their companions trapped in the fog.

"Captain, that kid has escaped, should we catch up?" After a few minutes, when all the people finally came to their senses, one of them hurriedly asked the leader of the group.

"Hmm... This kid can't escape the palm of his hand. For the sake of safety, the cadre leader personally set up a second line of defense there early on. However, what his old man told us was to do his best to block any people from Donglin Village who might arrive in Dongsheng Town, and we should not chase that kid, just leave it to his old man to solve it himself. The leader spoke, then reached out and nodded at the two men beside him.

"You two hurry up to catch up with the shopkeeper who escaped before, make sure that this guy doesn't take a detour from the forest to Dongsheng Town, and the rest of the people will continue to block this place with me, always keep an eye on the road, and don't let go of anyone from Donglin Village!"
