Chapter 101: Suspension Bridge
Getting this Yama Arc Sword, Lin Xie was excited in his heart, and bit his lip, he didn't say a word after all.
Suddenly, he frowned and patted the wall lightly with his palm.
Smack.
A small white bug slapped off his palm, and as soon as it left his palm, it fled away in panic.
Squinting his eyes, Lin Xie pierced the little insect with a sword aura.
White Poison Earth Worm!
This is a kind of insect that can only be formed by the sea of corpses and blood, this kind of insects, good at camouflage, often lurk in some ordinary places, when the creatures are carelessly paralyzed, burrow into their flesh and blood, slowly lurk, and gradually devour their flesh and blood essence.
Eventually, the worm will devour their souls, at which point the host will turn into a puppet.
After turning the host into a puppet, the bug will occupy the host's mind and control the body with its own consciousness.
Lin Xie almost fell into the path of this insect.
This bug is the one that lurked in the Yama arc sword book just now.
I don't know how long it lurked, but it encountered Lin Xie.
It's a pity.
It was supposed to show its talents, but before it entered Lin Xie's body, it was discovered by the latter and killed directly.
The white poisonous earth worm enters the host's body well, it will become extremely slippery, and it is extremely good at latent camouflage, and there is no particularly powerful warrior to help the host get rid of this worm, this worm will stay forever.
This is one of them.
There is also a second, after this insect continues to devour the host's flesh and blood essence, its strength will become stronger and stronger, and the rejection between it and the host will drop greatly.
At the very least, the mystical power and exercises within the host no longer consider the insect to be outside the host, but default to being part of the host's life.
In this case, the worm devoured the host's life with impunity, leaving the latter with no choice but to die in despair.
Lin Xie closed his eyes gently, and the entire metaphysical consciousness covered the room, and soon squinted his eyes, and threw a small white insect on the ground with one hand, and a sword qi wiped out the little insect.
Once inside the host, the little bug becomes terrifying, but until then, it is very fragile.
Leaving these dwellings, Lin Xie headed towards the city.
Before that.
He counted his harvest in the residential area again.
There are dozens of martial arts books like the Yama Arc Sword, and there are all kinds of them.
In addition, there are some lower-level martial arts.
He believes.
With these martial arts techniques, it is enough to greatly broaden the martial arts heritage of the Yunshui Lin family.
The storage capacity of a family's martial arts, to a certain extent, will seriously affect the development of the family in the future.
After all.
Once the family has a good practice, the starting point of the disciples in the clan will be higher, the process will be easier and easier, and the probability of becoming a strong person will be greatly increased.
And once the martial arts of the family are all low-level, even if all the geniuses in a family are there, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will not be very strong.
In addition to martial arts, Lin Xie also got a batch of weapons.
Most of these weapons are Xuan soldiers, and the level is not high, but it is surprising that perhaps because the quality of the weapons in ancient times is very high, although the transformation of Xuan Li by this Xuan soldier is at the Xuan level, its tenacity and sharpness are comparable to some low-level spirit soldiers.
Like Lin Xie's Blood Shadow Sword, it has not been upgraded and forged by Master Lin Lian, and it is only a mere level of mysteries, and now it has taken a huge amount of effort to upgrade, and it is only a high level, although the sharpness exceeds these residential weapons, it is still on the same level.
Lin Xie obtained more than twenty weapons, swords, and spears, and he calculated that these weapons were enough to arm a Lin family's guards.
The combat effectiveness of this guard is definitely able to win Yunshui City.
Now.
The Yunshui Lin family, in the entire city, is in the third.
As the first two cities became more and more powerful and constantly crowded out the living space of his Lin family...... The Lin family's third position is about to be unkept.
Could have lasted a little longer.
But.
There are divisions within the Lin family.
Now in Yunshui City, even ordinary civilians know that Lin Zhan, the sword-bearer of the Lin family, is at odds with the second and third brothers of the clan.
The Elders do not say anything about this, and everyone understands the subtlety of this.
The sword-bearer represents the attacking power of a family.
Once there is a disagreement between the clan and the attacking forces, it is a power struggle!
Once a family starts a power struggle, it must be the weakest time in its clan, and other families who have a hostile relationship with him will be attacked at this time.
At this time, whoever wants to attack the Lin family will simply fall into the ground, if the Lin family fights the most powerful and the vitality is most completely damaged, the foreign enemy will directly invade......
The worst result is the destruction of the Lin family!
It is actually not uncommon for the heavens and the earth to change drastically and a powerful force to collapse overnight.
Lin Xie made up his mind that he could bring these weapons and arm a powerful guard for the Lin family when the time came.
Of course.
The power of this guard must be firmly in the hands of his father Lin Zhan.
and the position of the sword-bearer, he will also help his father to get it.
As for why it wasn't given to the second and third uncles...... The reasons for this are complex.
First, on the business side.
The Lin family is not a big family, it can't withstand any internal friction, and it also needs unity externally, and it needs a person who can really think about the future of the clan, can afford to take responsibility and has the ability to be the sword bearer, as the sharp sword of the family, to go to the east and west to fight, and expand the scope of survival of the family.
The second uncle and the third uncle are human beings, and Lin Xie knows.
Selfishness is too heavy, too much attention to immediate interests, but they care too much about power struggles, and they have cooperated with other major families in the past, by promising to sacrifice the interests of the clan in exchange for the support of outsiders.
Second, it is a private matter.
Lin Zhan has been fighting for his family all these years, and he has offended too many people, and if he comes down from the position of sword bearer, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous in the future.
Therefore, in public and private, comprehensive one or two, Lin Xie wants Lin Zhan to continue to be this sword bearer.
Moreover, Lin Xie wants the Lin family to be strong, not just a weak family.
In this cannibalistic soul continent, being weak means destroying the race, and the strong will devour other races to strengthen themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xie quickly walked to the drawbridge.
Outside the drawbridge was a deep-seated trench with sharp barbs and corrosive water of death.
Lin Xie had tried to cross the place with his body, but before he could test it, he had tried to throw a stone first.
The results were unexpected.
The stone paused slightly as it passed over the stagnant water, and then landed firmly on the opposite side.
Lin Xie was overjoyed, and he was about to cross.
But before that he stopped again.
Lin Xie sighed softly.
A stone, after all, is an inanimate thing, and it is inevitable to pass through it in the face of the water of death.
He needs something alive.
Soon, he thought of the Dead Poison Earth Worm.
Return to the residence.
After some searching, Lin Xie quickly caught several dead poisonous earth worms.
What made him feel funny was that this insect still wanted to attack him, but as soon as Lin Xie used his dragon fire sword qi, these little insects suddenly shrank.
And under the threat and persecution of the dragon fire sword qi, these insects not only did not dare to treat Lin Xie as a host, but also did not dare to escape, huddled in the corner of the wall and trembled.
Just when Lin Xie thought that the thing of life was nothing more, he was stunned to find a pet egg.
This eggshell in the cabinet of a dwelling.
When Lin Xie entered it again, he found it by chance, and then saw that the eggshell was full of cracks.
As the seconds passed, the cracks on the eggshell grew bigger and bigger, and at a certain moment, with a click, the eggshell cracked.
A fluffy chick burst out of the egg, and when it saw Lin Xie, it chirped and touched Lin Xie's head affectionately.
When Lin Xie was still surprised that this chick would hatch, he took a deep look at the body of this chick and found that it was an ordinary chick, but because of the erosion of the dead qi back then, the birth of this chick has been delayed.
It was not until recent years that the retreat of the dead qi led to the gradual recovery of the vitality of this eggshell, and it was born today.
Lin Xie was worried about sleeping without a pillow.
The birth of this chick gave him the best test subject.
Soon, Lin Xie came to the side of the trench again, he smiled playfully, and first threw the dead poisonous earth worm onto the silver and iron thread, and threw it towards the other side of the trench.
It's just that.
Sudden mutations.
The dead poisonous earth worm looked terrified, and trembled with fear when it passed through the stagnant water.
When he passed, a layer of bubbles bubbled up on the stagnant water, and the next moment, a bad sense of bad luck appeared in Lin Xie's heart, and he saw an extremely surprised scene, the body of the insect actually decayed little by little, and then fell into the stagnant water and became nutrients.
After that, Lin Xie, who was terrified, once again experimented with the rest of the dead poisonous earth worms in the same way.
Pity.
At the cost of their lives, these bugs have succeeded in revealing that their life level cannot cross this backwater.
Right now, only this ordinary chick that Lin Xie got by chance was left.
Strictly speaking, this is a poultry that can't even reach the level of a beast.
After tying silver wire to the chicken's feet, Lin Xie threw it towards the other side of the trench, and suddenly a graceful parabola appeared in the middle of the field.
Ignoring the graceful curves, Lin Xie only cared about whether the life forms of its level could pass through.
As a result, the same as last time.
Even the insects that have surpassed the soft-shell reptiles and reached the level of birds have not escaped the fate of being eroded and killed by this water of death after experiencing some struggles and pains that they have never experienced in their lives.
Lin Xie was suddenly embarrassed, he put one hand on his chin and quickly began to think.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Xie, who only had three days, knew very well what it would mean if he couldn't find a way to enter the city.
It means that he brushed shoulders with the blood of the half-demon, and it also means that he missed the opportunity to connect with the entire city.
And if you don't get this opportunity this time, it doesn't mean that you can get it next time.
This world is changing too fast, maybe the next time the half-demon clan will be destroyed by a powerful force, and this kind of place will also be monopolized by that powerful force, so what else can Lin Xie do.
Lin Xie understood the urgency of the matter.
Right now, three hours had passed since he entered the underground trial ground.
He studied the drawbridge, helpless for a long time.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind.
This drawbridge was raised by the defenders of this city at that time to resist the invading forces of the Blood Sect and the Heavenly Evil Sect, and the way to open it may be in the secret book treasured by this force.
Most of these dwellings were occupied by the guards of the castle at the time, and their records may have a way to open the drawbridge to enter it.
Lin Xie, who had an idea in his mind, quickly launched a search.
Really.
Within a short pillar of incense, he saw the following content on the secret parchment in a martial arts book stored in his storage ring:
I am a half-demon city, and the situation in half-demon city is critical.
The defenders in my city are only 30,000, while the strength of the Blood Sect and the Evil Sect has reached 200,000.
An army of 200,000 is enough to easily level my city, and we are soldiers, so we will naturally fight to the death.
The only pity is that I am sorry, that is, the 200,000 ordinary half-demon clan warriors in the city, once the city is broken, in the face of the butcher's knife of the Blood Sect demons, with their strength, they will have no power to resist.
Although there is an order from the headquarters, after the reconnaissance mission is completed, we can return to the city and hold the city with the army, and do the final death.
But since I have come out, I have the heart to go and have no return, and I am willing to face the enemy with a mortal heart!
As for how to open this suspension bridge......
When Lin Xie saw the end, he not only admired the blood of the half-demon army guarding the city, but also feared the horror of the army of the Blood Sect Evil Sect, of course, he was even more interested in the method of opening the drawbridge recorded in this record.
Soon, with a special whistle made of bamboo that he had searched, Lin Xie came to the city.
He gently played a song with a moving rhythm, this song is full of fighting spirit, it is a war song, listening to its melody and a little tragic, it is actually a bleak tune of a general who died in a hundred battles and a strong man who returned in ten years.
Lin Xie was blowing, and he also felt it, and his heart hurt.
At this moment, on the gate tower facing the drawbridge, two black iron-armored figures suddenly appeared, this figure was tall and mighty, with a cold and pressing coldness.
Lin Xie frowned, could it be said that the guards in this city were still there back then, but it wasn't like it, the entire underground city was full of desolate death, and it must have been formed by hundreds of thousands of deaths.
There is no resentment here, probably because that big battle should be the reason for the bloodbath of one side and the crushing victory of the other side.
After these two sergeants appeared, eight more sergeants soon appeared behind them, and a full ten sergeants held the long swords on their waists, looking at Lin Xie, their faces were covered by iron armor.
Suddenly, four of the ironclad sergeants picked up the bows and arrows in their hands and aimed them at Lin Xie, as if they were aiming.
Lin Xie, who was outside the suspension bridge, even heard the sound of the bowstring jumping away a little.
"Is it a code?"
Lin Xie was a little stunned.
