Chapter 44: Gathering

On a vast grassland, two wildebeest galloped one after the other, startling the flock of birds that were foraging on the plain, and then went away, and the screams of the flock of birds spread far away on the plain, causing many wild beasts living in the plain to stop and look at the place where the sound came from.

It has been a day since Lin Chen and Qi Baili left Mocheng, and in one day, the two of them passed through the entire Qingyun Mountain, and on the way, they passed another city about the same size as Mocheng, until now they came to this grassland.

With the speed of the wildebeest with the blood of the spirit beast under his seat, the distance of a day will definitely not be less than five hundred miles, and according to Qi Baili, it will take several days to reach the meeting place, fortunately, there is still a lot of time before the trial starts, and there is still plenty of time, so it will not be too anxious.

"Brother Lin, if it's too late to hurry today, let's go to the front for a short rest, and we'll continue to hurry tomorrow morning."

Following the direction that Qi Baili was pointing to, under the night, Lin Chen saw a little firelight, and faintly heard the sound of joyful drums and shouts in his ears.

"Brother Qi is in charge"

The two of them walked forward and slowly approached the firelight, and saw a group of nomads dressed in animal skins, singing and dancing and drinking, obviously holding a celebration.

The arrival of Lin Chen and the two obviously alarmed them, and they all picked up weapons and surrounded them, led by an old man with a drooping hair, trembling and walking to the front of the two with a cane, and after repeatedly confirming the identities of the two, they were very enthusiastic and pulled the two into the celebration, which is also the unique heroism of the nomads living on the grassland.

The next day, the two said goodbye to this group of nomads, and continued to set off towards their destination with Lin Chen, and then after nearly four days of trekking, the two finally arrived at the meeting place on the night of the fourth day.

Before coming, Qi Baili told Lin Chen about the geographical location of the meeting place this time, as well as some situations that might occur, and also told Lin Chen that there would be three people with them at the meeting place at that time, a total of five people formed a team of five people to carry out this trial of Yi Lou, and as for the other three, they were also marching towards the meeting place now.

The meeting place was not in the city, nor in the town, but in a dense jungle, and when the two of them arrived, they found that they had to walk through a short section of the woods to see the meeting place on the periphery.

Coming here, Qi Baili's mood was obviously a lot more relaxed, and the anticipation in his eyes increased, and the two lit torches and began to walk among the trees.

Through the faint light of the fire, Lin Chen looked to the sides, on both sides were trees nearly ten meters high, the trunk was thick and needed six people to wrap it, and the dense leaves on the branches blocked the soft light of the bright moon outside, only a few sparse wisps shone on the cold ground.

Soon after the march, a sudden gust of wind blew and extinguished the torches in the hands of the two men, and the wildebeest under the seat was also a little alarmed, and began to step on the ground incessantly.

At the same time as the torch was extinguished, a person wrapped in a black night suit suddenly appeared from behind Lin Chen, only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed, and his breath was completely restrained, and in his hand, he was holding a dagger, and quietly touched Lin Chen's back.

Just when he wanted to stab Lin Chen with the dagger in his hand, he found that one of Lin Chen's hands was behind him, and in Lin Chen's hand, he was holding a simple knife, the blade of the knife was beautifully proportioned, and the blade was placed in a ray of moonlight through the leaves.

The reaction of the man in black was also extremely fast, although his eyes were still a little uncomfortable, he instinctively put away the dagger in his hand, and lightly touched Lin Chen's toes with both hands, and with Lin Chen's strength, he jumped to the tree on the side, and then a figure flashed, and hid in it.

At the moment when the man in black hidden, Lin Chen had not caught up, and in the leaves on the right rear of Lin Chen, three small silver needles appeared, which were glowing with cold light, and appeared not far from Lin Chen at a very fast speed.

Although Lin Chen dodged, the horse was hit by the three silver needles, which were already lying motionless on the ground, and after carefully sensing it, Lin Chen found that there was still life in his body, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he stood in place, looked around vigilantly, but found that he had lost the trace of Qi Baili, and there was no trace left in the place before him, only a panicked wildebeest, which kept arching the body of the one that had fallen to the ground.

After a few breaths, Lin Chen suddenly felt a fast and chilling breath from behind him, hurriedly grabbed a branch on the ground in his hand, turned around and narrowly dodged a red long whip with a fiery breath, and then when the owner of the long whip pulled it back, he grabbed it tightly in his hand at a lightning speed.

"Okay, Zhao Xuan, Lin Gongzi, it's over here, you all have to stop"

After a moment of stalemate, Qi Baili's smiling voice came from a tree, and then the three figures fell in front of Lin Chen's eyes one after another, and Qi Baili, who was the leader, motioned for Lin Chen to let go of the long whip in his hand.

When he arrived here, Lin Chen also behaved very calmly, and without feeling any accidents, he let go of the long whip in his hand, and the owner of the long whip also walked out of the darkness and stood in front of Lin Chen.

"Lin Gongzi, please don't mind this matter, this is a test for them, and as far as the results are concerned, they won't have any objections."

Qi Baili was also a little embarrassed, his eyes glanced at the owner of the long whip slightly, and then apologized to Lin Chen, and the other three also hugged their hands and apologized to Lin Chen.

"Speaking of which, Lin Gongzi doesn't know the three of them yet, so I'll introduce them to you, these three are Li Ying, Ning Huan and Zhao Xuan, and this little brother is Lin Chen I mentioned to you in my letter."

After a brief introduction, after the four of them also got to know each other, they set off towards the meeting place, and at this time, Lin Chen also observed the three of them.

Li Ying is the man in black who started at the beginning, he was wearing a black night suit before, only a pair of eyes were exposed on his face, and he didn't see his front, but now he has changed his clothes back to ordinary clothes, and he can feel from his own hands that this is a person who is very good at hiding his breath and is very good at fighting in the forest.

Ning Huan is a young man dressed in gray, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and holding a short Xiao in his hand, although his face is a little gloomy, but it can be seen from the silver needle he shot only paralyzing the wildebeest, it is not a sinister stream.

As for Zhao Xuan, the owner of the last long whip to strike, is actually a young woman wearing red clothes, beautiful appearance, and a bewitching figure, especially the pair of waves on her chest, I don't know how many people will be fascinated.

The three of them should be headed by Zhao Xuan, and their cultivation is not low, they are all cultivators of the acquired realm, judging from Lin Chen's feelings, at least they are all cultivated above the second level of the acquired realm, and the specific amount is still needed to be further fought or understood.

Lin Chen was observing the three of them, and the three of them were also observing Lin Chen, especially after sensing the fluctuations in Lin Chen's cultivation, coupled with his age, they were all surprised in their hearts, but at the same time, they were also hit by a lot of blows.

They are all geniuses, and they are long-term battle-hardened cultivators, so they can grow into acquired cultivators in their early twenties, and judging from Lin Chen's current age and the cultivation aura on his body, he can actually fight with him, and he can also detect the motives of several people, which obviously surprised a few people.

Since Lin Chen and the others only arrived at the meeting place at night, the other trialists at this time would meditate and rest in their rooms in order not to expose their strength, or discuss countermeasures, so few people knew that someone else appeared here.

"In the Yilou trial assembly point, the use of force is not allowed, and the violators will be disqualified and expelled from the Yilou"

An old voice appeared in Lin Chen's ears as soon as he stepped into the assembly point, and the voice carried a faint true qi that echoed in Lin Chen's ears.

Due to the long journey for days, coupled with the previous three's strength test for him, Lin Chen's mental state was not very good, so after coming to Zhao Xuan's resting place, he confessed and began to recover his spirits, and several people also understood Lin Chen's difficulties and did not blame him.
