The man's face was already visibly wrinkled, and his eyes seemed cloudy, but there was a hint of shrewdness.

After opening the curtain and walking out, he first glanced at Lin Lichuan and An, and then asked, "Guest, what do you want to buy?"

The voice was hoarse, like sandpaper grinding against the table.

Lin Lichuan turned his head to look at An, who nodded imperceptibly, indicating that the bald man in front of him was Kendall.

Seeing this, he looked at Kendall again, and simply went straight to the point: "I want to find someone's whereabouts." ”

"I'm in the grocery store here, sir. Kendall was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head, "It's ...... to find someone like this."

Before he could finish speaking, Ann interrupted: "Mr. Kendall, we were introduced by an old drunkard. ”

"Old drunkard? who is that? Dale at Mary's Bar? or ......"

"It's Anthony. Ann interrupted Kendall again, "He said you owe him 145 cana plus a bottle of fine handmade ale, and let me remind you that the agreed date of repayment is three days away. ”

Kendall's expression froze suddenly, he was speechless for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn Anthony, that old ghost is going to drown in a barrel sooner or later!"

After venting, he raised his head again and asked with a stiff expression, "Who are you looking for?"

"A female transcendent named Lin Zhenyi. ”

"Lin Zhenyi?" Kendall frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head, "Unfortunately, I haven't heard of this person. ”

"Yes. ”

When Lin Lichuan heard this, he was not disappointed, but suddenly turned around and walked to the shelf to take a serious look.

Ann on the side glanced at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing?" said Kendall, frowning at him.

"As you can see, buy something. Lin Lichuan replied without looking back, "We've all come here, you can't go home empty-handed." ”

Hearing this, Kendall shut his mouth and asked no more.

The grocery store fell into silence in a blink of an eye, one picking, two looking, and the atmosphere was silent and a little weird.

After a long while, Kendall broke the silence and asked impatiently, "Haven't you picked it yet?"

Lin Lichuan casually took down a box of canned food, turned around and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, anyway, I'm the only guest in the store." ”

Kendall's words were stagnant, so he had to suppress his temper and endure it for a while, and after a while, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there is something else, the store is going to be closed temporarily, if you haven't thought about what to buy, then come back tomorrow, and now please leave first." ”

"You seem to have been anxious to get us out from just now. Lin Lichuan stopped, turned around and showed a smile that seemed to be smiling, "Are you worried that the person in the house will not be treated in time and his injuries will worsen?"

As soon as these words came out, Kendall's face suddenly changed.

At the same time, the curtain behind the grocery store suddenly burst open with a snort, turning into rags in the sky, and a fierce sword light swept out of it, tearing the air like an arrow from a string and shooting towards Lin Lichuan.

A sonic boom sounded in the void, sharp and piercing.

Lin Lichuan seemed to have expected it, and when he saw this, he didn't panic, and stretched out his hand unhurriedly.

"The eighth of the bound path, reprimand. ”

Invisible spiritual pressure gushed out from the palm of his hand, quickly converging in the void two centimeters in front of his palm, and instantly condensed into a small diamond-shaped light shield, blocking the sword light that stabbed at him.

The diamond-shaped light shield was as thin as a cicada's wings, and it looked vulnerable in front of the sword light that was surging with surging energy, but the moment the sword light collided with the light shield, it suddenly froze, unable to advance an inch, revealing the sharp sword body.

Also stuck was the owner of the longsword, who stared at the diamond-shaped shield in amazement, visibly shocked that such a thin object could block his own surprise blow.

But after an instant, he reacted and pulled back sharply.

"The ninth of the bound path, strike. ”

However, in the next moment, with a faint burst of words, a bright red light suddenly cracked through the air, wrapping and tying him tightly when he couldn't dodge.

Thump!

Caught off guard, the attacker fell directly to the ground and let out a snort.

The turn of events was so abrupt that Kendall and Ann didn't react at all, and when they recovered from their shock, they saw that the attacker who had burst out from behind the curtain was lying on the ground.

The moment he saw the man's face clearly, An Tian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's you!"

The attacker lying on the ground was Vero, who had escaped from the siege of the black prisoners not long ago, looking very embarrassed, not to mention the scaly wounds all over his body, and his body was still wrapped in a half-tied bandage, perhaps because of the surprise attack just now, the wound broke again, and the blood that flowed out of Mimimi's blood soaked and stained most of the bandages red.

Click!

Kendall next to him subconsciously took out his pistol for self-defense, raised it and aimed at Lin Lichuan, and said angrily: "Stop!"

As soon as the words came out, he came to his senses, the secret way is bad, and the person who can knock the silver-level Vero to the ground with his hands is obviously not afraid of a pistol.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lichuan turned a blind eye to this, didn't even look at him, just looked at Vero on the ground, and asked lightly, "Do you know Lin Zhenyi?"

When he asked Kendall about Lin Zhenyi's whereabouts before, he noticed the slight noise that Vero subconsciously made behind the door curtain, and only then did his suspicion arise in his heart, and he secretly observed it.

With this contemplation, he immediately noticed the faint smell of blood in the air, and then there was a temptation later.

After struggling hard, he found that he couldn't break free from the restraints at all with his current state of serious injury, Vero had no choice but to give up, raised his head and looked at Lin Lichuan with difficulty, and asked without answering: "Who are you?"

Looking at the deep vigilance in Wei Luo's eyes, Lin Lichuan shrugged his shoulders, and with a thought, he lifted the red light rope on his front body.

"Don't be so guarded, I said, I just came to Mr. Kendall to buy information, and I found out that you were here by accident. ”

Lin Lichuan's actions made Kendall and Vero stunned, and then Kendall reacted, hurriedly put away his gun, and quickly came to Vero's side to help him up, and the two of them threw suspicious glances at Lin Lichuan together.

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds before Vero took a breath and asked:

"What is the relationship between you and Lin Zhenyi?"

"I'm her companion. Lin Lichuan said lightly, he was investigating his aunt's whereabouts with a false identity, and it was more appropriate to say that he was a companion.

Hearing this, Vero's expression suddenly moved: "You are from outside the island?"

"I am, but he's a resident of the island. Lin Lichuan pointed at An, "Now you can tell me about Lin Zhenyi, it seems that you seem to know her true identity." ”

"All we know is that she's from outside the island. ”

"And where is she now?"

"I don't know. Vero replied simply, catching a glimpse of Lin Lichuan's slightly cold eyes out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said, "But we can roughly guess where she is!"

"Where?" Lin Lichuan's eyes lit up slightly.

Vero took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It should be in the ruins." ”

"Ruins?"

Vero and Kendall glanced at each other, hesitated for a few seconds, Vero sighed lightly, and said slowly: "It's nothing to tell you, anyway, this matter is estimated to be no secret soon." ”

"It all started three months ago, when a team of Transcendents stumbled upon a corpse in the wild, supposedly a thousand-year-old Transcendent, and the team then found three strange blocks from the corpse, which, according to the journal it carried, were the keys to the Starscourge Ruins. ”

"Star Calamity Ruins!" Lin Lichuan was slightly stunned, and when he realized that Vero was talking about the Star Calamity Ruins, he was immediately taken aback, revealing a look of surprise.

The star plague thousands of years ago left a large number of mysterious places that people today call ruins, in addition to the devastated traces of destruction on this continent.

It is impossible to determine where these ruins came from and why they remained, and there may be only a few extremely secret documents from the continental powers that still contain relevant information, but it is well known that most of the ruins contain rich treasures, including meteorite stones, which are very tempting for the transcendent.

Over the millennium, there have been many anecdotes of a lucky transcendent who strayed into the Star Calamity Ruins and eventually returned with a huge fortune.

Although the Starcalypse Ruins are also extremely dangerous, the abundant wealth still makes the Transcendents selectively ignore this, and the Starcalypse Ruins have become a treasure in the eyes of the Transcendents.

Lin Lichuan didn't expect to hear the news of the ruins on Black Flame Island.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The transcendent team you said about who found the ancient corpse, could it be a tower hat?"

Veroden's eyes widened in surprise: "How do you know?"

Lin Lichuan glanced at An who was standing with his head bowed to the side without a trace, waved his hand, and motioned for Vero to continue.

Glancing at Lin Lichuan suspiciously, Vero continued: "This news was somehow known by the King Kong Society and the Black Prisoner, and then they immediately sent someone to snatch the key, and Lin Zhenyi happened to be with the people of the tower hat at that time, so he was implicated. ”

"The result?" asked Lin Lichuan next.

"Most of the members of the Tower Hat have been killed, but the Vajra Society and the Black Prisoner have also not been able to get the key. ”

"There are three block keys that can enter the Starcalypse Ruins, one of which is in Lin Zhenyi's hands, she escaped from Area 11 on the day that the Vajra Society destroyed the Tower Hat, but the Vajra Society and the Black Prisoner then immediately blocked the port and the roads leading to other areas, and sent a large number of people to search in the wild, and I haven't heard the news of her being arrested for so many days, so I think it is very likely that she has now followed the guidance of the block to enter the Starcalypse Ruins.
