"Fortunately, I have four points of defense now. Normal sharp weapons can't hurt me even if they are weak. +◆" Watching the opponent disappearing into the darkness, his movements were so fast that he would never be able to catch up. Lin Xin's expression was also uncertain.
.
Since he was attacked in the bath last time, he has found that his body skin has become tougher. After careful comparison, he concluded that the surface defense of his skin is almost the same as that of those external martial arts masters who practice hard qigong. It is equivalent to his own
For nothing, he has an extra layer of iron cloth with a golden bell cover. What these four defensive attributes bring to him is a layer of security like leather armor.
"Don't be careless. It seems there may be something disguised as someone else here."
He calmed down and hurried towards the direction where the screams came from.
Turning east and west, we soon came to a wide flat area on the left side of the square.
The torch was lying on the ground, still burning slowly. There was still a pool of blood on the ground, but there was no trace of anyone.
Soon there was another sound of footsteps, and Senior Brother Guang walked out of the darkness with a pale complexion, holding an extinguished torch in his hand.
Seeing Lin Xin who was inspecting the scene, his eyes showed joy.
"Brother Lin, have you seen Junior Sister Xiao and the others!?"
Lin Xin turned around and looked at him carefully.
"What happened to you just now?"
Suddenly, he saw Senior Brother Guang's eyes froze, looking straight in the direction behind him, as if he had suddenly seen something extremely frightening.
Lin Xin turned around suddenly and looked behind him.
laugh!
A sharp sound broke through the air.
clang!
Lin Xin's backhand was a sword strike, as if he had expected it, it just happened to block Senior Brother Guang's sudden stabbing sword.
"Fool me?" He turned around and looked at Senior Brother Guang with a look of astonishment on his face. The two of them crossed their swords in front of them.
There was a strange arc in the corner of Senior Brother Guang's mouth, and he kicked up his legs fiercely and kicked towards Lin Xin.
In an instant, two streams of hot air hit him hard from both sides.
puff.
Senior Brother Guang's entire body collapsed, like a cloud of illusory smoke, twisting and exploding, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
Everything became quiet again.
Lin Xin looked alert, looked around, and slowly sheathed his sword.
"It's just equivalent to the explosive power of the second-level Xiao Guiyuan Jue, which can be solved with ordinary sword moves. After reaching Xiantian, the power of my internal force amplification has also increased. Even the ordinary Wuyan sword technique has exceeded the original
The power before entering the innate state. This sword does not consume much... It should be recovered soon." He weighed the consumption.
He carefully walked to the place where Senior Brother Guang had disappeared and checked the ground. The ground was flat with only some fine gravel, and not even powdery dust could be seen. There was no need to mention the skull of the blood beast.
After turning around, Lin Xin picked up the torch on the ground and held it in his left hand. When the two torches were put together, the fire was slightly brighter.
"Everyone, gather here immediately!" He thought for a moment and suddenly shouted loudly upward.
The sound echoed slowly in the sky above the square, and waves of echoes arose.
But there was no response... The rest of the people seemed to be dead. Apart from the echo of his shouting, there was no other movement in the entire square.
Lin Xin stood there and waited quietly, inserting a torch into the fork of a statue, clasping the spiritual light shield secretly with one hand, and holding the sword hilt tightly with the other, paying close attention to his surroundings.
It seemed like I had to wait for dozens of breaths.
Faintly, there were faint sounds of footsteps in the surrounding darkness.
Lin Xin looked in the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, a figure covered in blood staggered out. It was Xiao Lingling. She also had a bloody cut on her cheek, and there were small wounds all over her hands and legs. She was exhausted.
When she saw Lin Xin, a trace of vigilance and panic first flashed in her eyes, and then she looked around.
"Lin...Senior Brother Lin...is that you?"
She asked cautiously.
Lin Xin squinted at her and was about to speak.
Immediately after, another staggering figure walked out of the shadow on Xiao Lingling's right side, also covered in blood, with a bloody cut on his cheek, and small wounds all over his hands and legs.
This person is actually Xiao Lingling!
"you!"
"Who are you!?"
The two Xiao Linglings screamed at the same time, staring at each other warily and panicked.
Lin Xin narrowed his eyes and glanced at the two Xiao Linglings, his expression also a little gloomy.
"Senior Brother Lin, I am the real Xiao Lingling, she is fake! Kill her quickly!" Xiao Lingling on the right looked anxious and frightened.
"You are the fake! What kind of monster are you!? Senior Brother Lin, I am the real Xiao Lingling, please kill her quickly!" Xiao Lingling on the left hurriedly explained.
The two got into an argument in front of each other and both said the other was fake.
Lin Xin's face was gloomy, and he just listened to the two people's arguments. He felt that the two women were buzzing in his ears, like wasps, which was annoying.
The strange thing is that these two people were arguing and arguing, and they could even tell the little things they had experienced with him before, and the details were vivid. Now it was hard to tell the truth from the lies.
When there's a lot of quarrel.
"I know who is real." Lin Xin suddenly said.
The two of them were suddenly startled.
"who?"
"It must be her!"
The two Xiao Linglings had different reactions.
Clang!
A silver sword light suddenly lit up, and there was a muffled sound under Lin Xin's feet, and he rushed toward Xiao Lingling on the left like a sharp arrow.
hiss...
The blade of the sword lit up with a little white light, and with just a simple lunge of the Pine Forest Sword Technique, it exploded with the power of the fourth level of innate inner energy, and stabbed fiercely into Xiao Lingling's eyebrow on the left side.
puff.
Xiao Lingling on the left was stunned for a moment, her whole body suddenly twisted and disappeared into smoke.
Lin Xin slowly put away his sword and looked to Xiao Lingling on the right.
"Brother Lin!" Xiao Lingling was stunned for a moment, "How do you know who I am?"
Lin Xin breathed out slowly and looked at Xiao Lingling, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, I naturally have my own control."
"It's okay...it's okay..." Xiao Lingling was so grateful that she almost wanted to cry. Seeing the worry in Lin Xin's eyes, she was even more moved. "If it weren't for Brother Lin, you...I would...this time...
I will definitely die here..."
She was extremely happy at this moment and asked Lin Xin to join her team and enter the cave together.
Lin Xin also sighed, but a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes. He said with concern on his lips.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
He actually didn't tell Xiao Lingling the truth.
He simply guessed at random. If he killed the wrong one, he would kill both of them together. If he was right, it would be better. Everything depends on luck. After all, he was not very familiar with Xiao Lingling. In such a dangerous environment,
, it is natural to cut the knot with a sharp knife, no matter what is right or wrong, as long as you ensure your own safety first.
Anyway, neither of the two options will threaten you.
Of course, these words will not be spoken directly. Since this good result has been achieved, saying it again will only hurt feelings.
Although Xiao Lingling's cultivation level is low, she is still useful as a scout. After all, Lin Xin also considered that he would have to spend a month alone in this cave, and people would always be rested and tired. At this time,
There must always be someone responsible for keeping watch.
"Let's go, let's go find other people." Lin Xin reached out and patted Xiao Lingling's shoulder, "You can bandage the wound on the way to prevent it from getting infected..."
Xiao Lingling nodded quickly. Only then did she truly feel the sense of security she had not seen for a long time. She looked at Lin Xin like she was looking at an angel.
From the beginning to the present, she has actually been relying on the help of the Lingzhu Gang to complete the task. Whenever she encounters any danger, there are always people to help her resolve it. She has never encountered such a helpless situation like this.
Under such circumstances, Lin Xin, who suddenly appeared and saved her from danger, truly became the most dazzling star in her mind.
The two of them took off their torches one after the other and began to slowly follow the blood stains on the ground towards the darkness of the square.
The blood stains spread all the way along the ground until they reached the stone wall at the edge of the square, where they suddenly broke off. There was only a somewhat loose black bundle on the ground.
The two walked to the edge of the black stone wall and looked up.
Under the illumination of the fire, the stone wall slowly revealed a hanging body.
"Ah!" Xiao Lingling suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed in fright. "Ye...it's Senior Brother Ye...!"
Senior Brother Ye is one of Xiao Lingling's suitors in their team.
At this time, his body was hanging on the stone wall. Two thick wooden stakes were driven into the eye sockets of his eyes, and the back of his head was exposed and stuck on the stone wall, fixing the entire body.
"No need to look, just pick up his baggage and take it away." Lin Xin breathed out and whispered.
"Yes." Xiao Lingling endured the fear in her heart and hurried over to pick up the baggage that fell on the ground from under the body.
Lin Xin looked around.
"When I shouted just now, you were the only one around. No one else came over. After waiting for so long, everyone is probably in danger..."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Lingling was at a loss. "How about... or we should go back... Even if we don't pass this time, there will definitely be a chance next time... I heard from the senior brothers.
However, the trial of the Sword Listening Conference shouldn't be so difficult...it shouldn't be..."
"Go back?" Lin Xin shook his head, a cold look flashed in his eyes. "We have come here, so many people have died, and we have gained nothing. Are you willing to go back like this?"
"I..." Xiao Lingling swallowed.
"Let's go, it shouldn't be so difficult next time. Otherwise, who else can pass through normally?" Lin Xin comforted her. She must find someone who can help her guard, otherwise she won't even dare to rest in this cave.
Rest peacefully.
Before joining Cheng Ruofei, Kong Yuhui and the others, Xiao Lingling could never let her leave. Although he felt a little guilty, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Okay..." When Xiao Lingling heard what Lin Xin said, she could only grit her teeth and admit it. Without Lin Xin, her chance of surviving alone would be too low.
The two continued to look for a way around the stone wall, and soon found a dark passage blocked by stones on a stone wall.
After clearing the passage a little, Lin Xin took the lead and walked in. Xiao Lingling followed closely behind, struggling to carry two large bags, which were filled with various water bags and dry food.
Shortly after the two entered the passage.
Another group of people arrived at the entrance of the square.
A group of people from the Poison Gang entered slowly with cold faces.
"Everyone, be careful. The square is not big. Let's search separately."
In the darkness, a figure who looked like Lin Xin flashed past, standing in the distance and staring coldly at the group of people from the Poison Gang, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
