Chapter 521: The Evil Clan (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
After Alice's leaving figure disappeared, the demon slave sat alone on the wooden pier.
Garu's eyes began to focus slowly at this moment, as if they were gradually finding a ray of light from the deep darkness.
"Gah, ga...lu?" A series of vague sounds rolled out of the demon slave's throat, as if he was looking for a lost language, or trying to convey some kind of desire or appeal deep in his heart to the world.
Lin Yi was keenly aware of the changes in the demon slave, so he did not approach rashly, but kept a certain distance and carefully observed the other party's every move.
"Aura of ally, Doctor of the Abyss?" Garu's eyes suddenly turned to Lin Yi. His eyes became extremely clear, in stark contrast to his previous confused and unfocused state.
"You okay?"
Lin Yi didn't know whether the demon slave was an enemy or a friend for the time being, so he maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Facing this unidentified demon slave, Lin Yi was wary.
His body was like a fully drawn bow, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.
One of Lin Yi's feet has quietly moved towards the direction of the forest, which is the escape route he has reserved for himself.
The so-called secondary invincibility is not true invincibility. The attack by Butler Wolf made Lin Yi deeply realize that even the secondary invincibility cannot protect Lin Yi when encountering a real strong person.
The demon slave in front of him is probably the original owner of this castle, and his power is undoubtedly far greater than that of Butler Wolf.
If he really attacks Lin Yi, this secondary invincible shield may not be able to provide sufficient protection.
"No, I can only regain consciousness in a very short period of time." Garu's voice revealed a deep helplessness.
He moved his body slightly, and at that moment, Lin Yi keenly captured an indescribable powerful momentum emanating from him. However, this power disappeared in the air like a flash in the pan.
He spoke slowly and continued: "One-third of my brain is controlled by Alice. I must not let her notice that I still have time to wake up. Now is not the time to confront her head-on."
"Can I help you with anything?" Lin Yi asked after a brief hesitation.
"No need, my ally." Garu replied softly, "You and Miefa are still on the road of growth, and my affairs should not involve you. My waking time is very limited. If you encounter me in the future, Difficulty, just call my name, no matter where you are in the devil's castle, I will rush to you within a minute. "
After saying that, the demon slave gently touched his chest, and Garu's originally clear eyes were once again covered by chaos.
Afterwards, Garu continued to lower his head and play with the wooden carvings of the castle in his hands, showing no signs of regaining consciousness.
Lin Yi glanced at Garu, turned around and stepped into the Forest of the Strong.
There is a moist and dull smell in the surrounding air, which is a unique smell mixed with rotten leaves and dead branches accumulated over the years.
The light of the artificial sun becomes dappled and faint in this dense forest.
It worked hard to penetrate the layers of leaves, but could only leave sporadic light spots on the ground.
These light spots are like beacons lost in the darkness. Although they are weak, they bring precious light to this dark forest.
Lin Yi felt that the ground under his feet was soft, and every step felt like stepping on slippery mud, making a dull echo.
Lin Yi had to hold on to the cane he had just made in his hand and use it to carefully probe the ground in front of him to ensure that every step he took was on a relatively safe place.
In this dense virgin forest, the ground conditions are extremely complex and unstable.
Years of rain erosion and the slow decay of vegetation have combined to create countless hollows and fragile bubble structures beneath the surface.
If you are not careful, you may miss the mark and fall into the underground swamp hidden under the lush plants.
Although such a swamp environment is not a fatal threat to Lin Yi, once he accidentally falls into it, it will be extremely difficult to escape.
The pull of the mud in the swamp is irresistible, and every struggle only sinks you deeper and deeper.
And with the slippery and unstable environment all around, it was almost impossible to find a place where we could rely on stability.
Because of this, Lin Yi was extremely careful in every step he took.
Just as Lin Yi was exploring the path, a tiny snake approached him quietly.
The skin color of this little snake almost blends in with the color of the surrounding leaves, and its body is as small as a finger, so even experienced hunters cannot easily detect its presence.
The moment Lin Yi relaxed his vigilance, the little snake struck out swiftly and struck directly at his exposed neck.
Just between the electric light and flint, a pale golden barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the attack of the little snake when it was only three centimeters away from Lin Yi's neck.
The venom dripped on the pale golden barrier, making a sizzling sound, and a few drops of purple venom slipped on the barrier, leaving purple traces.
When this little snake approached just now, Lin Yi's perception had already captured its presence.
However, Lin Yi wanted to test the strength of the secondary invincible shield, so he chose to wait and see.
He was quite satisfied with the test results. The shield successfully withstood the snake's attack without suffering any damage.
As long as you are not facing an extremely powerful enemy, this shield can basically provide sufficient protection.
Lin Yi picked up an empty reagent bottle and carefully collected the venom of the little snake into the bottle.
[The venom of the arrowtail snake]
Place of Origin: Devil’s Castle·Forest of the Strong
Quality: light gold
Usage effect: After use, it can cause 150 points of neurotoxin per second, which lasts for 120 seconds. After 10 seconds, the poisoned person's nerve center will fall into a state of paralysis and coma, and will be in a bleeding state (level five).
Rating: 284
Introduction: The arrowtail snake has very little venom. One snake can only produce less than 5 ml of venom.
Price: 19,000 Paradise Coins
Lin Yi put away the reagent bottle containing the snake venom, then raised the knife and decisively cut off the head of the arrow-tailed snake in front of him.
He threw the snake body to Xiaoxue. Although the snake didn't have much meat, the snake's rank was quite high, and it could also improve Xiaoxue's attributes.
The prompt sound of Lun Paradise sounded. After enjoying this snack, Xiaoxue's physical strength and poison resistance increased by 3 points each.
Lin Yi continued to walk forward and heard the sound of fighting not far away.
After passing through a dense forest, Lin Yi came to a relatively open area.
Here, Lin Yi's sight was attracted by a clear mountain spring.
In this primeval forest, such clear fresh water resources are undoubtedly a precious resource.
At this moment, several birdmen were besieging a strange monster.
This monster has two ferocious heads, a body as thick as a bucket, and is at least an astonishing thirty meters in length.
It gave off a strong fishy smell that was enough to make people sick even from a dozen meters away.
The smell indicated that the monster was highly poisonous and clearly inedible as food.
These bird people are called the Zhen tribe in the void, and they were originally a subsidiary race of the Yu tribe.
Because they accidentally offended an elder of the Yu Clan a long time ago, the Zhen Clan suffered a genocide and almost disappeared in the void.
Lin Yi guessed that when Alice was replenishing the population of this forest, she might have randomly grabbed some creatures and put them in it.
This kind of random behavior allowed the bloodline of the Yu clan to continue here and escaped the fate of annihilation.
These Yu clan people may not know that they may be the last bloodline of this race.
Several Yi warriors held a very sharp weapon in their hands, which looked a bit like a spear, but had a barb at the end.
Whenever the two-headed monster tried to dodge the attack, the barbs on the spear would always leave deep wounds on its body.
"Harrington, someone else is coming."
A young man from the Zhen tribe saw Lin Yi in the distance, shot away the charging monster, and then retreated to the side of the tribe.
Lin Yi's sudden appearance undoubtedly brought unknown variables to this battle.
The people of the Zhen tribe immediately entered a state of high vigilance. They did not want the monsters they worked so hard to hunt to end up being the prey of others.
While they were closely watching Lin Yi's movements, they continued to deal with the two-headed monster, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.
"Friend, this is the territory of our tribe, please leave as soon as possible."
What Lin Yi didn't expect was that these people from the Zhen tribe could actually speak Void Language.
Although they are a bit stumbling and their pronunciation is very weird, being able to communicate shows that they still have a legacy.
Lin Yi took two steps back to show that he had no ill intentions. Harrington observed Lin Yi for a while, and then assigned two tribesmen to monitor him closely to ensure safety.
He led others to continue to deal with the two-headed monster in front of him.
Their tribe has encountered some difficulties recently. An important freshwater point has been occupied by other races, which makes them urgently need to find new freshwater resources.
Therefore, Harrington led his friends here to fight the monster guarding the mountain spring.
The battle entered a fierce stage, and the soldiers of the Yi tribe adopted bloodletting tactics, gradually consuming the monster's vitality.
At this critical moment, Jin Mu, a young man from the Yu tribe, launched an attack because of his greed for credit.
The monster seemed to have realized that everything was about to be defeated. After Kim's spear penetrated its body, it did not avoid other people's attacks. Instead, it bit Kim hard on the chest.
"Kim!" Harrington witnessed this scene and felt like a knife.
In the Forest of the Strong, every warrior who can fight is extremely precious.
The growth environment and resource acquisition here are far more difficult than in the outside world, so it is extremely difficult to cultivate a warrior.
Harrington threw the spear in his hand at the monster, accurately piercing the head of the monster that was biting Kim.
After being pierced through the head, the monster's mouth released Kim, and Kim, covered in blood, rolled to the side of everyone.
"Kim, how are you?" Harrington asked anxiously. At the same time, other soldiers from the Zhen tribe also gathered around and rushed to Kim's side to help Kim up from the ground.
Kim's injuries were horrific. His chest was bitten through by the monster's sharp teeth. The wounds were so deep and terrifying that his back could even be vaguely seen through the wounds.
The sternum was fractured in a large area, the broken bone fragments poked out irregularly, and the edges of the wound were extremely hideous.
His internal organs were also severely injured. Every time Kim opened his mouth, a large amount of blood would spurt out, staining his clothes and the ground red.
"Get the medicine quickly!"
"No, no, I know. Don't waste the medicine."
Kim's words were intermittent. In the Forest of the Strong, resources like medicine are more precious than food, and the medicine in the tribe can only treat some minor wounds, but cannot cure serious injuries at all.
Kim understood that it would be a waste if he took the medicine now. It would be better to leave the medicine to others and maybe save a few lives.
"Why don't you let me take a look?"
Just as several young men from the Zhen tribe were performing a scene of separation and death, Lin Yi walked up to them.
Harrington was shocked when he heard Lin Yi's words. He didn't even notice how Lin Yi was approaching him.
If Lin Yi hadn't said anything but attacked a few people, I'm afraid they would have become dead corpses by now.
Seeing the vigilant looks in the eyes of several teenagers, Lin Yi ignored them. Instead, he knelt down and began to check Kim's injuries.
When two Yi tribe warriors tried to stop Lin Yi, Harrington recognized the brooch on Lin Yi's chest and stopped the others.
"Please save Kim, I am willing to give everything I have for it."
Harrington knelt in front of Lin Yi sincerely, his voice full of urgency and pleading.
On this trip, he privately led these people here to look for water. Naturally, he had to bring everyone back together.
"Okay, don't look like you're dying. I can handle any minor injuries."
"Someone will come and show me the way later. I want to walk around in this forest."
Lin Yi stretched out his palm, a soft light glowed in his palm, and a healing spell was applied to Kim's body.
In an instant, the wounds on Kim's body began to squirm, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just ten seconds, the originally hideous wound had completely healed, leaving only some faint scars.
[Successfully cured Kim, the talent ‘Redeemer activates’ permanently increases health by 18 points and the power of the abyss by 13 points. The soul strength is increased by 1, the current health point is 4417 points, the power of the abyss is 4035 points, and the soul strength is 44 points. 】
"Are you a wizard?" A boy from the Yi tribe asked in surprise. He was deeply shocked by the sight of Kim's wound healing quickly.
Others knelt down and worshiped beside Lin Yi, with awe and admiration written on their faces.
In the Forest of the Strong, people with healing abilities are revered as wizards.
The existence of wizards is a priceless treasure for a group of people.
Because in this dangerous forest, the lack of treatment drugs means that every battle may lead to permanent disability or even death of the tribesmen.
The presence of wizards means that the vitality of the ethnic group is greatly guaranteed, and the speed of its rise will naturally be greatly accelerated.
"Wizard? Forget it, let it be whatever you think it is. Okay, kid, don't lie on the ground."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Jin struggled to get up from inside.
Although Kim was covered in blood, the light in his eyes showed that he had completely regained his vitality.
He struggled to get up from the ground, came to Lin Yi excitedly, and knelt down to worship with Harrington.
"Thank you, Master Wizard." Kim's voice was full of gratitude and awe.
Several young men of the Yi tribe were busy at the mountain spring. They filled gourds with clear spring water, which is an important material for the survival of the tribe.
Harrington directed others to use leaves and branches to disguise the spring hole to prevent other creatures from discovering it.
"Master Wizard, can you visit our clan?"
While the others were pretending to be a spring, Harrington came to Lin Yi and asked in a low voice.
He kept his attitude very low so as not to anger Lin Yi.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and thought it wouldn't hurt to visit the Yu clan's territory.
You have to know that such a big forest cannot have any good things at all.
Most of these good things are kept in the hands of ethnic groups like the Zhen Clan, so Lin Yi was planning to go to the Zhen Clan's clan.
So Lin Yi nodded and agreed to Haliton's request: "That's okay. There's no place to go anyway. I can just go to your place and have a look."
After getting Lin Yi's agreement, Harrington had a smile on his face.
He quickly arranged for two companions to rush back to the tribe to deliver the news, while the rest followed slowly with the newly obtained supplies.
When the young men from the Zhen tribe began to dispose of the monster's body, Lin Yi noticed that they uncovered the monster's flesh and blood, and an unpleasant stench hit his nostrils.
He couldn't help but cover his nose and asked: "No, do you still want to eat this thing? Doesn't it look poisonous at first glance?"
Harrington deftly decomposed the monster and explained at the same time: "Master Wizard, you may not understand that in this forest, everything has its value. Although the flesh and blood of this monster is poisonous, it can still be eaten after proper treatment. Yes, just don’t eat more every time.”
After speaking, he ordered the two teenagers: "Joel, Bolen, you lead the way." The two teenagers nodded in agreement, and then took the lead to walk deeper into the woods.
On the other side, the man with gold-rimmed glasses was fleeing in the forest.
Wash had completely lost his former calmness and grace. The suit he wore was in tatters, with mud spots and scratches from thorns everywhere, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
His eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The blood vessels on his temples were beating constantly, beating on his nerves like a drum.
Sweat slid down Wash's tense forehead, eventually dripping onto the ground beneath his feet and mixing with the soil.
Not far behind Wash, the gloomy man was pursuing the chase leisurely.
As a person with perceptual abilities, it is not difficult for Gloomy Man to track Wash's traces.
Not long ago, he had dealt a heavy blow to Wash's soul.
The Gloomy Man's skills are currently cooling down, so he is not in a hurry. He just follows Wash steadily to prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall.
"I want to see how long you can last." The gloomy man sneered, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.
He easily cut a venomous snake in two that tried to sneak up on him.
The gloomy man's powerful perception gave him an absolute advantage in this chase.
