Chapter 689 Bloody Lake
The shadow slowly collapsed, and both of them froze in place.
Bao Tianci was stunned because the landlady actually left a letter to Chen Lin alone. She obviously had some ulterior relationship, which made him envious and jealous, and he wished he could take her own life instead.
Chen Lin fell into thinking.
Through the message from the landlady, it can be determined that his encounter with the woman in silver armor is related to the other party. The woman in silver armor also knew that he had met the landlady beforehand, so she asked him to come out to get information.
He was actually being used as a tool without knowing it!
As for the means by which the proprietress made sure that he would definitely see the woman in silver armor, it was probably the arowana cup. The other party mentioned this thing just now, probably because he was afraid that he would react and use it. Throw it away.
This object is obviously not an ordinary item, but he has checked it many times before and found nothing abnormal.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin put away his thoughts.
These two women are extraordinary characters. They are most likely old monsters that have survived since the sudden change in the ancient country of Sanyu. His methods are beyond his ability to guess, nor can he guess their purpose.
"Let's go, it seems she won't come back."
Chen Lin looked around, then went up to the second floor to have a look, greeted Bao Tianci and left the tavern.
Back at his residence, he took out the arowana cup.
But no matter how you check it, it is an ordinary item, with no energy fluctuations or alien aura.
After pondering for a moment, he put it away carefully.
Luo Qinglan hasn't been rescued yet, so this thing can't be thrown away. Moreover, the message from the landlady saying that this thing can save lives at critical moments seems to mean something. We still need to find out whether it is true or not.
If you are really worried, send it to the Nightmare Realm and keep it in a grove for safekeeping.
Concerned about Luo Qinglan's safety, after finishing the matter here, Chen Lin told Zhou Shiwu to pay attention to the information he wanted to know, and then took Xiaocao into the ruins.
Having gained experience this time, he waited and watched every distance he walked, and detoured from any place that seemed to be a domain. Although this resulted in a very slow speed, it was also much safer.
But what made him look ugly was that he had walked for more than a month without meeting a single person, let alone a village.
On the contrary, he encountered several monster attacks, especially a big black bird. It must have mutated and reached the middle stage of the second stage. It was extremely sensitive. He did not dare to waste the power of the golden soul easily, so he was very embarrassed. < br>
Fortunately, after leaving a certain range, the opponent seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and was unable to continue the pursuit, allowing him to escape safely.
This incident allowed Chen Lin to see how the creatures here have mutated and their range of activities has shrunk, and he increasingly felt that it was very similar to the nightmare world.
However, the rules and restrictions here are still insignificant compared to the nightmare world. The nightmare world is completely nonsensical, and everything here is traceable.
More than ten days have passed.
The surrounding area is still endless wasteland, without any trace of human existence.
Chen Lin felt a little anxious.
It would be sooner or later to see the woman in silver armor, but Luo Qinglan's situation was unknown and he didn't know if he was being caught up by officers and soldiers, but he couldn't help but worry.
In this state of mind, his speed began to increase.
But just after flying a few dozen miles, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, with a touch of water vapor.
Chen Lin stopped in confusion, looked at it, then jumped into the air and looked into the distance.
Over the height of a mountain ridge in front of you, you will see a wide expanse of water, which turns out to be a lake.
What made him look solemn was that the water in the lake turned out to be red, like blood!
Without any hesitation, he immediately dropped his body, turned around, and flew away quickly to the other side.
Such a strange sight, it seems like it is not a good place at first glance, so naturally it is better to hide as far away as possible.
But immediately, Chen Lin's expression changed.
As soon as he flew out, he felt the space distorting, and the next moment he appeared at the lake!
Sitting on a bluestone in front of him was a thin old man, fishing with a bamboo pole in his hand.
This scene made Chen Lin secretly sigh.
He obviously broke into the opponent's territory, and this old man carried a strong evil aura, which was obviously mutated. Such a person lacks rationality and cannot be understood by normal people.
The most important thing is that he can't see through this old man's cultivation!
“I see that my fellow Taoist carries a fishing rod with him and must be someone who loves fishing. There are many good things in this Blood Spirit Lake. It would be a pity to pass by without fishing. Why not sit down and calmly fish!”
The old man suddenly turned his head and spoke to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was shocked, this old man could actually see through his storage bag!
He only has one fishing rod on him, the one at Gambling Lake. If the other party wasn't lying, he would be in trouble.
Although the storage bag is a low-level magic weapon, it is a special item. Because it has the user's spiritual imprint, it will be discovered as long as it peeks, but he has no sense.
This means that the other party either has extremely high cultivation level or has special means, which makes him very afraid.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and chose a stone to sit on, but did not take out the fishing rod. Instead, he asked tentatively: "Do I have to fish?"
The realm of the mutants There must be rules in a place. If you want to leave, you must first meet the rules. From what the other party said just now, he couldn't tell what the rules were, so he wanted to see if he could ask some questions.
The old man’s eyes returned to the lake.
Just when Chen Lin thought he had violated some rules and became more vigilant, the other party spoke calmly.
"Either you fish for them, or they fish for you, it's your choice!"
Chen Lin looked thoughtful when he heard this. This sentence is obviously a rule guide. You must fish before you can fish. Okay, and it looks like the risk is not small.
Thankfully, this mysterious figure did not attack immediately like the robber, and there was still room for relaxation.
“What exactly is in this lake, can you give me a hint, senior?”
Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, Chen Lin continued to ask.
"Blood Spirit."
The old man really explained it, but then he said nothing.
Chen Lin tentatively asked another question. Seeing that the other party did not answer, but instead the aura on his body became unstable, and the sharp rise instantly exceeded the scope of the foundation building period, he wisely closed his mouth.
He is no match for this person.
Without trying, Chen Lin could conclude that even Xiaocao wouldn't be able to do it. The opponent was too powerful.
He deliberately wanted to take out the silver-armored woman's token to see if it was effective, but he was worried that the other party was wanted by the government, which would have the opposite effect.
After much hesitation, I decided to try fishing first. If I can rely on the rules to leave, that would be great. If it doesn’t work, I will think of other methods. Having made a plan, he took out the fishing rod for the gambling lake.
This fishing rod has no fishing line or hook, but he also has no other fishing rods on him. The other party specifically pointed out this item, so it can only be used once.
This object is very important to him now, because the Nightmare Realm storage bag is still in the woods of Gambling Lake. If this object is gone, he will not be able to enter the Gambling Lake scene, but the other party has discovered it and pointed it out. There's no point trying to hide it.
“The fishing rod is good.”
Seeing Chen Lin throw the fishing rod out, the old man commented.
Chen Lin did not say anything, but doubts arose in his heart.
According to the concentration of the evil aura on the opponent's body, it must have mutated more than once, and it has not been removed by external force, so the strength is so strong, but it is difficult for the mutated person to maintain his or her sanity in this situation. , is just a humanoid monster at the mercy of rules, but the other party is just like a normal person, I don’t know why.
The more mysterious the other party became, the more careful Chen Lin became. He did not test him again and began to pay attention to the fishing rod.
Time passed little by little.
The fishing rod didn’t respond at all.
Chen Lin was not anxious, but rather relaxed. The other party did not snatch the fishing rod. It seemed that he was simply letting him fish.
And it is normal that the fishing rod does not respond. This is not a gambling lake. His fishing rod has no fishing line and hook, so it is strange that he can catch something.
The reason why he fished even though he knew this was because he didn't want to offend this strange old man, so he kept the same in response to all changes, and wanted to continue to explore the rules here from the other party's actions.
Similarly, the old man never caught anything.
Chen Lin glanced at the other party's bamboo pole. It was very ordinary, but it had a fishing line. He didn't know whether it had a fishhook or whether it was baited. But from beginning to end, he didn't know. I saw the other party lifting the fishing rod and passing by.
This made him wonder whether the rules here were similar to those in Gambling Lake. After taking out the pole, you cannot close it if there is no harvest, otherwise the fishing will be judged as failed.
Just when he was thinking about whether to ask, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sinking sharply. He was stunned for a moment and immediately raised it up.
A blood-red hazy shadow jumped out of the water with the fishing rod, swaying and struggling.
But no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't get rid of the pull of the fishing rod. There was no fishing line, but it seemed to be bound by some force.
Chen Lin was surprised. This scene was exactly the same as in Beiyun Lake. Could it be that this fishing rod is not exclusive to Beiyun Lake and can be used in other places?
Or is there really some unknown connection between this place and the nightmare world?
"Yes, I have gained something since I arrived. If I can catch ten blood spirits within an hour, I will get a reward."
While Chen Lin was thinking, the old man's voice rang out.
He didn't think much, he first took back the fishing rod, looked at the blood spirit who was still struggling and exuding a strange aura, and turned to look at the old man.
"Senior, what should I do with this thing? Should I put it back or give it to you?"
The old man's eyebrows moved, "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
But He immediately shook his head and said, "It's useless. If I didn't catch this thing by fishing, I can't use it at all. You can keep it for yourself!"
Chen Lin wanted to ask again about the purpose and storage method of this thing, but the other party ignored it and concentrated on fishing.
He pondered for a moment and released a ray of consciousness to sense the blood spirit. Then there was a flash of strange color. He actually felt that this thing was submissive to him!
Recalling what the old man said just now, he had a clear understanding in his heart. He took out a spirit storage bottle for storing spirit bodies and tried to collect the blood spirit.
With just a little control, the blood spirit entered it on its own.
Without hesitation, Chen Lin threw the fishing rod out again.
After countless explorations of the nightmare world, he now has rich experience in judging the rules and restrictions. The other party has just given a new reminder, which means that the rule task has not been completed yet.
Half an hour has passed since he started fishing. It is impossible to catch ten blood spirits within an hour without using some means.
Thinking of this, he quietly transferred the power of his luck into the fishing rod, but did not dare to use too much at one time to prevent disaster if his luck dropped.
While transporting, he is also ready to stimulate the Ji Dribbling Ball in the cuffs to replenish it. Before entering the ruins, the Ji Dribbling Ball has been filled, and the power of luck is sufficient.
However, Ji Dribbling was not used. When he was about to consume half of his own luck, the fishing rod sank again.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up. The fishing rod is indeed a medium for the power of luck. As long as the power of luck is sufficient, it can bring surprises.
With a strong lift, a similar blood spirit was pulled out of the water.
He glanced at the old man, but he didn't show any sign, so he put away the blood spirit as usual and threw the fishing rod out again.
The power of luck relies on natural recovery speed which is very slow. Chen Lin couldn't wait any longer and simply activated Ji's dribbling.
Having determined that the power of luck can speed up fishing, you can’t give it up. If the power of luck accumulated in dribbling is not enough, the only golden crab will have to be used.
Time passed little by little.
There has been no movement on the old man's side, while Chen Lin's side was catching fish one after another. Within an hour, they had caught ten blood spirits.
“Good luck!”
Just when Chen Lin wanted to ask about the so-called reward, the old man finally responded, stood up and walked to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin's heart suddenly rose and he was on high alert.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to see what is so special about the person that Princess Qiu likes. You can go."
The old man took a deep look at Chen Lin, and then spat out In one sentence, "My name is Gu Lianfeng, remember this name, if you hurt the princess, I will kill you."
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the people and the entire lake disappeared!
Chen Lin looked at the wilderness in front of him in astonishment, his expression constantly changing, and it took him a long time to calm down.
This person turned out to be Gu Lianfeng!
He never expected to meet this person in such a place. He even thought that if he wanted to see him, he would have to go through a lot of troubles. After all, the landlady asked him to go to the palace to find him.
But he was not too surprised that the other party would appear here. It must be because of the arowana cup.
The relationship between the other party and the proprietress is extraordinary. It is normal to sense the dragon fish cup in this ruins space.
But he wanted to find this person in order to rescue Luo Qinglan. Now that they met in this situation, the other party may not meet him again in the future. There is no way to use this line to save Luo Qinglan. gained hope.
Chen Lin pondered for a long time, considered all the situations, and then moved on.
Gu Lianfeng's line was originally a backup, and if it was gone, it would be gone. We should follow the established plan and rely on ourselves to find it first. If it didn't work, we would ask the woman in silver armor for help.
He got the information the other party needed. This is his biggest reliance!
