Lin Ran and Sophie waited by the Qinghe River for more than ten minutes. Finally, Lin Ran said: "It's done."
Xiao Hei had returned to his body, and Lin Ran could clearly feel that this guy was full.
In this case, it means that the matter has been resolved.
In fact, Xiao Hei is not unpreventable, especially when facing high-level warriors. Faced with the opponent's source of defense, Xiao Hei may have nowhere to attack.
However, no one's nerves will be tense all the time. No matter how strong the warrior is, there will be times when he relaxes. At such moments, Xiao Hei's unexpected characteristics can be revealed.
"How did you judge it?" Sophie asked.
She actually believed Lin Ran's words and did not have any doubts. However, the young brother's long-range attack method today was really beyond her comprehension.
She didn't even know where the enemy was hiding, but Lin Ran had already killed him from the air?
After a few more minutes, a body floated up.
This man was floating up and down in the river, obviously without any breath of life.
Looking at the dark green clothes on his body, Sophie's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted: "It's the green water ghost!"
"The green water ghost refers to this person?" Lin Ran asked.
"That's right!"
Sophie nodded heavily and said: "This person has been on the bounty list of Jianghu World for a long time. He is a famous villain. I don't know how many people want to kill him, but they can't find this guy at all! Unexpectedly,
He actually showed up here today!"
Sophie was a little frightened.
She knew some of the habits of this green water ghost. He was extremely cautious in his actions. Even when facing an opponent much weaker than him, he would still choose to sneak attack. Being targeted by such a person was indeed not an easy thing.
"This is probably... the Jianghu General Alliance is coming to take revenge on me?" Lin Ran looked at the beautiful senior sister beside him, and a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind, and asked: "Is this coming for you?"
"Is this... coming for me?" Sophie was slightly surprised.
It had to be said that she had never considered it for herself before. After all, Lin Ran had recently severely damaged the reputation of the Jianghu Federation and would definitely be the first target of revenge for this new organization.
Sophie did not deny Lin Ran's words immediately. After thinking about it carefully, she said: "It's not impossible. If the other party's goal is to warn Qingcheng, then it is indeed more appropriate to start from me.
"
"Then let's go." Lin Ran did not come to any conclusion, stared at the body, and then said.
After Xiao Hei returned to his body, he fed some of the devoured energy back to him. Lin Ran also recovered a lot and no longer had to be held by Sophie.
"Okay, it seems that I won't be able to treat your injuries easily next time." Sophie's beautiful eyes flashed with an indescribable light, "Who knows if there will be another assassination like this?"
Of course, no one knows whether Sophie said this because she was worried about being assassinated by an assassin, or whether she was worried about being beaten on the head.
…………
Still the same light Dark study room.
The owner was still sitting cross-legged on the ground and hadn't gotten up for several hours.
And for several hours, he didn't receive any news from the green water ghost.
Losing contact means something has happened. Most of the time, these two words can be equated with death.
He stood up, spinning two jade balls in his hands, looking out the window at the dark night, and said lightly: "Who is the son of this era? I never believe in fate, I only believe that man can conquer nature."
There is an extremely firm meaning in these words.
However, at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in," he said.
A woman in black walked in, bowed and said, "Master, the reward list has just been updated, and a name has been erased."
"Whose name was erased?" The man's heart began to sink.
"Green water ghost."
Bang bang!
The two jade balls fell to the ground one after another!
Even though he had already had a premonition of the fate of the Green Water Ghost, when he heard the news with his own ears, the man still couldn't hide his shock!
After a long time, he said: "In the Jianghu World Elders Association, isn't this bounty list updated only once a year? Why was the updated list released immediately after the Green Water Ghost died?"
In the world of rivers and lakes, the various sects do not actually exist in disorder. There will be some highly respected people who form an elders' council, which meets regularly to maintain the overall order of the rivers and lakes. The bounty list is issued by this elders' council.
However, this Council of Elders does not have any particularly specific responsibilities or powers. At most, it can make an appeal or initiate something when something happens.
However, this time, the pertinence and purpose of the Elders Council seemed to be a bit obvious.
"It is said that it is because the green water ghost has done too many evil things and has been on the list for a long time and is very representative, so..." The woman said, her voice lowered, and she did not dare to say more.
It seems that she also feels that this reason is not very convincing.
"Do you know how the green water ghost died?"
"Master, no one witnessed the Green Water Ghost's death. Maybe Sophie has some unknown cards." There was surprise and horror in the woman's voice.
"The Black Mountain Ghost has followed, let's wait for the news." The master's voice was a bit deep.
He looked out the window and said: "Who is the son of destiny in the Yuanli era?"
…………
Lin Ran had already left Qingzhou with Sophie and drove to Nanling.
After the beautiful senior sister drove for two hundred kilometers, Lin Ran recovered all his strength and took over the driving right.
Sophie simply slept in the back row and treated Lin Ran.
Her physical exertion is also quite high.
Lin Ran drove very smoothly without any sudden stops or turns, trying not to disturb the sleeping Sophie.
Sophie didn't wake up until dawn. Looking at Lin Ran who was still driving at high speed, she was obviously a little surprised.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, Sophie said, "Did you drive all night? Why didn't you ask me to replace you?"
"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't call you." Lin Ran said with a smile, "There are still two hundred kilometers to go."
"Oh, your brother is so considerate," Sophie said. ??
"The main reason is that my sister's sleeping posture is very elegant. I'm afraid that if I wake you up, I won't be able to see her sleeping posture in the rearview mirror." Lin Ran joked.
"Brother, your little mouth is quite sweet." Sophie smiled happily, "I'll let Qingcheng check some other time to see if you have honey on your lips."
Lin Ran retorted: "My sister's little mouth is also very sweet, and there is honey on my lips."
…………
An hour later, the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Nanling were already in sight.
"It's difficult to drive in front of the car, so we can only walk." Lin Ran said, "Sister Sophie, how far is it from here to your master's retreat?"
Sophie opened the electronic map, looked at it, and pursed her red lips: "We have to trek eight hundred miles of mountain road."
In fact, if you use a helicopter to travel, the distance is really not that far. However, Lin Ran wants to use his feet to measure the Nanling mountains to see if he will discover more secrets.
After all, that deep well has always been a lingering shadow in his mind!
…………
"Then you accompany me to two places first." Lin Ran said.
"Okay, my main task this time is to accompany you. I can do anything with you." Sophie smiled. She was obviously in a good mood after being able to leave Shuangshan Island and walk around the world.
Lin Ran turned off the engine and opened the door: "What you said makes it easy for people to think too much."
Sophie didn't notice it at all, she still smiled, and her eyes seemed to have provocation: "I have a beautiful body to protect me, how dare you think too much?"
"I don't dare, I am a gentleman and I will never have any ill thoughts towards my sister." Lin Ran said seriously, his face full of seriousness.
"That's so good." Sophie said.
Then, she and Lin Ran walked side by side into the vast mountains.
Ten minutes later, another group of people came to where Lin Ran had parked his car.
This car was borrowed by Lin Ran from the Ji family. It was relatively luxurious and the purchase price must have exceeded one million Daxia coins.
Of course, the Ji family would never let Lin Ran return the car under any circumstances.
There were about a dozen people in this group, all holding long swords and wearing gray and white striped training uniforms.
And on their chests, there are two words embroidered - Wushuang!
If you are someone who lives in Nanling all year round, you will know that these two The word represents a force that has suddenly emerged in the Nanling Mountains in recent years - the Wushuang Sword Sect!
According to many people, in a few years, this unparalleled sword sect will have the strength to become one of the top ten forces in the world!
"Haha, with such a nice car, it seems like a rich man came to experience life in the mountains."
A person stepped forward to check the footprints on the ground, and then said with a smile: "They are a man and a woman, most likely they came to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"Could they be looking for a place to do something exciting?"
After this person finished speaking, everyone around him burst out laughing.
"Anyway, we still have a long way to go back to the Sword Sect. Why not follow us and take a look?"
"Yes, a girl who can be brought into the mountains by such a rich man must be young and beautiful. We spend every day practicing in the mountains, and we almost don't know what it's like to be a woman!"
…………
After walking with Sophie for most of the day, Lin Ran had arrived at the old site of Setting Sun Gate.
For some reason, he didn't go to Qin's house to take a look first.
"Why did you bring me here?" Sophie felt it for a moment, and then said: "The yin energy here is very strong."
"What do you mean by Yin Qi?" Lin Ran was a little surprised. After all, this was Sophie's first time here and she didn't know what had happened here.
"It's just very eerie, very cold, it feels like... there's a ghost." Sophie said bluntly.
After all, she is a woman, no matter how strong she is, she still has a natural fear in this aspect.
At this moment, at two o'clock in the afternoon, although there were mountains and forests around them, Lin Ran and Sophie were right next to the pavilion on the top of the mountain. Those trees could not block the sun. Lin Ran even felt that his body was warmed by the sun.
, in this situation, Sophie actually felt cold?
Is this an illusion?
Lin Ran used his mental power to sense his surroundings, but there was nothing unusual.
"Sister Sophie, don't worry. With a masculine person like me here, those mandrill ghosts won't dare to show up."
Sophie also laughed and said half-jokingly: "Yes, I have really experienced how masculine you are."
However, Lin Ran absolutely could not understand the deep meaning of this sentence.
He pointed to the well and said, "Sister Sophie, wait for me at the well. I have to go down and take a look."
"You want to enter this well?" Sophie said immediately without asking why, "Okay, I'll be there to warn you."
She is better than my elder sister, who can push up at critical moments and never stretch her hips.
Lin Ran then held on to the well wall and slowly slid down.
He wanted to find more clues from this well.
However, when Lin Ran sank to the bottom of the well and looked around, he felt a sudden chill in his heart!
Goosebumps all over his body exploded!
Because, Lin Ran suddenly discovered that the stone tablet at the bottom of the well that had been standing for hundreds of years... was missing!
