Li Ling's whole mind was on Yao Mingyuan, how could he let his sneak attack succeed, and when the other party moved, he jumped and dodged.

He retreated quickly, but the flame was faster, like a maggot with a bone, and it flashed in the air and hit Li Ling.

"Shhh

The firelight spun around in the air and landed in Yao Mingyuan's hand, but it was a dagger the size of a palm, and it couldn't stop beating in his hand.

Yao Mingyuan looked down at the dagger in his hand, but his face changed greatly, and his gaze staring at Li Ling was full of solemnity, "Who are you? What kind of exercises are you cultivating, and what kind of exercises have damaged my natal magic weapon?"

Li Ling didn't dare to answer, clutched his chest, flew up, and jumped directly into the river.

"Want to escape?" Yao Mingyuan reacted, hurriedly put away the dagger, stretched out his hand, took out a piece of rune paper, chanted words in his mouth, and threw it violently, the rune paper fell into the river, with a loud bang, and exploded a column of water of more than ten meters.

Li Ling, who had just dived to the bottom of the water, felt a huge force coming from behind, as if he was hit by a giant hammer, his chest was suffocated, he almost didn't faint, endured the severe pain, and swam deeper.

In the darkness, a dark shadow swam by, biting his clothes and speeding off into the distance.

Li Ling knew that it was the fish monster he had subdued, and he was immediately relieved, and under the relaxation of his mind, he gradually felt that his consciousness became confused.

......

After a long time, I finally regained consciousness, there was still some hot and severe pain in my back and ribs, and I looked at the surrounding environment, but it was in a cave, surrounded by rocks, with several holes in the top of my head, and the light was shining directly, and two or three meters in front of me was a river, gurgling water.

This is supposed to be an underground river, connected to the river outside, but I didn't expect the fish monster to bring him to such a strange place.

There was a sound of water in the river, and the fish monster peeked out of the river, holding a bunch of verdant grapes in its mouth.

Li Ling took the bunch of fruits from the fish monster's mouth, recognized it as an elixir to heal injuries, and hurriedly picked one and took it.

He took the elixir found by the fish monster every day in this cave, practiced the exercises, and cultivated for ten days before his injuries were completely healed.

Then he got up to explore the cave, and in the past few days he found that there were many traces of artificial carving in the cave, and someone should have lived here before.

I walked inward, and after walking for dozens of meters, two hidden stone gates appeared in front of me.

Push it out, it is a stone house, with a few pearls inlaid on the top of the head, which illuminates a piece of transparency in all directions, and the stone bed, stone bench, and household items are all available in the house.

There was a thick layer of dust in the room, and I don't know how long the owner had been gone.

Li Ling checked inside the house and didn't find anything good, and was a little disappointed.

I remember that in the novels I read before, the protagonist would find some very awesome treasures when he accidentally entered such a place, so that he succeeded in counterattacking, slapped his face, pretended to be forced, and could do anything.

Why can't you replace him, this doesn't fit the plot a bit?

A little depressed, he looked around without giving up, and after confirming that there was no mechanism, his eyes fell on the few glowing beads above his head.

"This is a pearl of the night, each one is priceless, and it is a great pleasure to buy it and become a rich man in this other world.

Li Ling jumped on the stone bench and took a lot of effort to pick off the seven night pearls arranged in the Big Dipper.

I went back the way I came, jumped into the underground river, and swam out of the water, and sure enough, it was the river that connected the three surnames.

What he didn't know was that after he left, a burst of black smoke suddenly appeared from the place above the stone cave where the night pearl was originally inlaid, and soon filled the entire stone cave.

Suddenly, the smoke cleared, and a terrifying scorpion two meters long appeared on the stone bed, fangs and claws.

The huge scorpion squeaked and screamed, jumped off the stone bed, raised its head, as if searching for some smell, and the next moment, crawled quickly along the path Li Ling took.

......

Li Ling dried the wet clothes on his body by the river, and then went to the three surnames, so many days have passed, and Yao Mingyuan has already left.

The water monkey that he had worked so hard to catch was snatched away by others, and his life was almost lost, which really made Li Ling a little aggrieved, but thinking that his skills were not as good as others, no matter where he was, whoever had the big fist had the right to speak, so he was relieved.

He was going to go to the Three Surnames Collection to exchange one of the night pearls he had just come to for currency, and then inquire about the way to Zhao Kingdom.

Li Ling promised the master of the dead ghost that he would protect his descendants for five years, and according to the old guy, his descendants were generals in Zhao State, so he went there to stay in the general's mansion for five years, which could be regarded as an explanation to the old guy.

"Well, why does it smell of blood?"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the third surname market town, Li Ling smelled a thick smell of blood with a stinky smell in the air.

Entering the town with doubts, he was taken aback, only to see that the original prosperous town was full of dead corpses, the streets were in disarray, and a large group of crows were jumping and pecking at the corpses.

When a few wild dogs not far away saw Li Ling, they were not afraid, and lowered their heads to nibble again, and one of them roared a few times as if demonstrating.

Li Ling bent down and picked up a few stones and shot them out, hitting a few wild dogs, and letting these beasts return to the west.

Holding back the discomfort, he looked at the dead bodies on the ground, these people seemed to have been dead for many days, and if it weren't for the fact that it was close to winter at this time, they would have already decomposed.

Each of the dead bodies had no scars on their bodies, but they died in a miserable state with hideous expressions, as if they had suffered a great deal of pain in their lives.

The only people who can have this kind of means are those in the cultivation world who have learned vicious techniques.

"It can't be that Yao Mingyuan, right?" Li Ling suddenly thought of this person, "Could it be that he got that water monkey and killed the entire town in order to extinguish it?"

Thinking of this, he felt a little chill in his heart, if this was the case, then he also had some responsibility.

Walking around the town, it turned out that the town of thousands of people did not find a single living mouth.

He found fire and prepared to burn the dead bodies so that they would not be eaten by wild dogs and crows.

"Squeak..."

A strange cry behind him made Li Ling frightened, and he turned his head suddenly.

"Damn, what kind of monster?" Li Ling's hair stood up instantly, "There is such a big scorpion." ”

Seven or eight meters in front of him, a huge scorpion lay on the ground, looking at him with fierce eyes, and when Li Ling spit out the word "zi", the scorpion screamed and pounced.

The speed is really like lightning, and there is no time to dodge.

"Is this dead? It's so aggrieved to die, and I haven't had time to show my strength in this other world and achieve hegemony..."

The scorpion threw itself into the air, and with a bang, it turned into a cloud of black mist.

The black mist squirmed like life, squirming and enveloping Li Ling.

At this moment, Li Ling only felt that there were hundreds of millions of needles pricked all over his body, and the taste was really sour, and he wanted to struggle to resist, but he was paralyzed, and he moved there at all.

This feeling lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before it began to slowly reduce, although I could not move, but some simple movements could already be done, and the whole body sweated like rain, as if I had collapsed.

At the same time, it was not as dark as before, and the black fog was much thinner.

Looking down, he gasped, and saw that the black mist around his body was like life, quickly drilling into his body, and the feeling of pinprick came from this.
