After receiving Niuniu's advice, Chen Lin finally understood the whole story.
He had a feeling when he entered the lake scene before that the projection could stay longer.
However, at that time, he thought it was due to his cultivation reaching the late stage of Golden Core, but he did not expect that it was due to the mutation of his soul.
Thinking of this, he immediately activated the soul-destroying finger secret technique and slowly forced the energy out of his fingertips.
I could see faint silver spots in the energy. Although it was still suppressed by the nightmare energy, the power was much stronger than when I tested the normal soul-destroying finger before.
Then he tested the secret technique of spiritual consciousness that he had mastered, and sure enough, the suppressive force was reduced a lot. He had not had time to test it in the lake scene before, so he did not notice this change.
After testing it twice more and confirming that it was correct, Chen Lin's eyes lit up with joy.
Although these secret techniques could be used in the past, their power was almost non-existent and incomparable to what it is now.
In this way, he is no longer powerless to fight back in the nightmare world, and has the means to protect himself when encountering danger.
Those few spiritual consciousness secret arts are nothing, and their power is not high, but if he can use the ultimate killing move of the soul-destroying finger, most creatures in the nightmare world can fight, which is of great significance to him in exploring the nightmare world.
After the excitement, he remembered something again and took out the shrimp.
"Niuniu, do you recognize this kind of shrimp? I just went to a nightmare scene with a lake a few days ago and caught it from the lake."
After saying that, he took out the fishing rod and showed it to the other party while telling him about the lake scene.
Finally, we talked about Luyin, and asked about the price and purchase method of Luyin.
Niu Niu shook her head and took the lead in answering his question about the road guide, "Uncle, you don't understand that one person cannot own two road guides at the same time. You can only upgrade your road guide now and cannot buy it again.
It’s the lowest level, and if you want to upgrade to a higher level, you still need a hundred nightmare coins.”
Chen Lin clicked his tongue when he heard this.
It actually cost one hundred Nightmare Coins to upgrade to a level, so he was probably hopeless unless he could find it again.
Seeing Chen Lin's look, Niu Niu explained: "If you want to buy or upgrade a guide, you can't do it yourself, so you can only ask me to help you. However, due to rules restrictions, you must rely on yourself to obtain nightmare coins in the nightmare world.
I can't give it to you directly."
Chen Lin was stunned, he didn't expect there to be such a restriction.
However, he had also thought about the fact that the Nightmare Coin could not be given away. Otherwise, when Mu Linglong entered here, the other party would not have to call him over and use his Nightmare Coin to buy Mu Linglong's scarecrow substitute.
It's just that he couldn't have two road guides at the same time, which made him very depressed, so he couldn't complete his plan of hiring people to explore the lake scene.
If you want to fish, you can only go there in person.
After Chen Lin had almost digested the information, Niu Niu took the shrimp and looked at it, saying: "I really don't understand this kind of thing, but it doesn't matter. One of my friends is best at identifying aquatic creatures. After a while,
I'll take you to find him."
"As for this fishing rod," Niu Niu glanced at it, "it can be regarded as a relatively high-end artifact from the nightmare realm, but there are few nightmare realm artifacts that can exert their power in every scene. I felt this thing, and it should be the same.
It is a special thing that can only be used for fishing in your scene, but it cannot be completely determined. You have to explore the specific situation yourself."
Chen Lin nodded. Niu Niu was indeed a small encyclopedia in the nightmare world. She knew almost everything. Most of the doubts in his heart were solved.
"Uncle, this shrimp smells great. Let's go find my friend quickly and ask if it tastes good. If it tastes good, you can catch more. Don't be afraid of danger. My amulet will protect you!"
Niuniu clenched her fists, as if I was covering you.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
Since the other party dares to make such a promise, he has a certain degree of confidence. Although he cannot be absolutely trusted, if he goes to the lake scene again, he has a trump card.
With this thought in mind, he followed the other party out of the small courtyard.
The small village was still the same as before, there was no one on the road, and we arrived at a hut near the edge.
On the way, he also took a look at Xiaohong's mushroom hut, but the door was closed, so it was impossible to get mushrooms.
"Xiao Yuer, open the door quickly, I have something to ask you!"
When she arrived in front of a courtyard gate, Niu Niu shouted at the top of her lungs.
Chen Lin was looking at it from behind.
This yard is made entirely of small dried fish. Each small dried fish has its head facing outwards and is neatly arranged. It actually looks quite aesthetic.
Soon, the courtyard door was opened a crack, and a chubby little boy with a fish-like head was revealed.
"It turns out it's the village chief. What do you want from me? I've run out of dried fish."
Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that Niu Niu was still the head of this village, and he had never heard of her talking about it before.
He glanced at the other party and saw that the other party seemed a little angry at what was said. He put his hands on his waist and said angrily: "Who cares about your dried fish? I have something to ask you, please let me in!"
The fat-headed fish boy seemed to be a little afraid of Niuniu and did not dare to say anything. He weakly opened all the courtyard doors and let them enter the courtyard.
"Uncle, this is Xiaoyu'er. Although he is ugly and stingy, he is very familiar with the creatures in the water. He knows most of the creatures in the water in the nightmare world.
The three of them sat at a table made of dried fish, and Niuniu introduced them casually.
As soon as she finished speaking, the little fat man said unconvincedly: "Most of them, there are very few underwater creatures I don't know!"
"It's not much, but it's still there. You don't recognize the fish I brought last time."
Niu Niu curled her lips and said something.
The little fat man's face turned red, but he was speechless.
Niu Niu ignored the other party's emotions, took out Chen Lin's shrimps, put them on the table, and said, "Take a look at what kind of shrimp this is and see if you can eat it."
"Huh?"
The little fat man looked surprised, picked up the shrimp, and looked at it carefully.
Niuniu's little face wrinkled and she said, "You don't know me, do you?"
"How is that possible!" the little fat man retorted: "These are plum blossom colored wing shrimps, a specialty of Beiyun Lake. After eating them, you can increase your luck to a certain extent, but one or two are useless. You need to eat them in large quantities.
.”
Chen Lin's eyes flashed when he heard the word 'luck'.
It turns out that the lake is called Gambling Lake, so I'm afraid not only the shrimp can increase luck, but the fish in it should also have the same effect.
If that's the case, it's no wonder that He Changhong, the elder of the Black Demon Sect, would study the art of luck alchemy.
At this time, the little fat man spoke again and said: "But the things in the gambling lake are not so easy to get. Not only do you have to pay for fishing, but if you can't catch anything, your luck will be swallowed up, causing the fishermen to be in a certain situation."
During this period of time, luck has become extremely poor, and the mortality rate is very high, but if you can catch the luck treasure box inside, you will make a fortune!"
"Ah, I remembered, I know this place called Gambling Lake!"
Chen Linzheng was hesitating whether to ask about the treasure box, when he heard Niu Niu speak with a look of surprise.
"It's the lake guarded by the golden toad. I took care of it before, but it's still alive after all these years?"
After saying that, she looked at Chen Lin and said: "Uncle, you can fish out a luck treasure box in that gambling lake. It is full of good things. If you are lucky, you can even get an origin ball, which can increase the power of rules in your talent. You
You can go fishing more. And the fish and shrimp there are all delicious. I haven’t eaten them for a long time. If you catch them, you can give me some."
Chen Lin was shocked. There was an Origin Ball that could increase his natural ability. Then this scene meant a lot to him!
He immediately nodded and said: "If uncle catches something, he will definitely send it to Niuniu."
At this time, the little fat man said: "Village Chief, didn't you say that our village is going to be closed? Is the news wrong?"
Niu Niu waved her hand indifferently and said arrogantly: "Do you still think that this village chief is like before? If it is closed, it will be closed. This village chief can open it whenever he wants."
The little fat man's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Village Chief, your strength has recovered, can we leave here?"
When Niuniu heard this, her expression collapsed and she said, "It's not enough yet. Just wait. Sooner or later, you will go out."
Chen Lin's ears pricked up. He felt that he was about to pry into the core secret of the nightmare world, and he was a little excited.
But when she said this, Niu Niu became extremely depressed. Not only did she not say anything, she got up and walked directly outside the yard. Chen Lin could only follow.
Returning to the straw courtyard, Niu Niu looked at Chen Lin and said: "Uncle, there are some things I can't tell you. If you are fine, go back first. I think I will contact you when I see you. Remember not to take down the amulet."
Seeing the other party in such a state, Chen Lin could only comfort him: "Everything in this world will eventually be solved. Niuniu, don't be too pessimistic. I will definitely help you when my uncle becomes stronger!"
"Um!"
Niuniu nodded vigorously.
Then she said: "If you want to go to the Gambling Lake, there is no need to worry about anything else, but no one can break the rules there, so you still have to pay attention to some things. But if you really don't catch anything,
You can use nightmare coins to offset the punishment. When the time comes, you will show me my amulet, and the toad will not dare to charge you more. One nightmare coin is enough."
Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this.
It turns out that the punishment there can also be offset with nightmare coins.
And according to Niuniu, the intensity of this punishment is determined by the mood of the scene owner, so the previous suggestion of using a Nightmare Coin to exchange for a scarecrow substitute is the minimum.
He had always felt that considering the level of the opponent's scarecrow hut, it was too low to be able to avoid punishment with just one Nightmare Coin. It turned out to be the case.
Chen Lin nodded and said nothing more. At this moment, the feeling of rejection was already very strong. He relied on the power of his soul to support it. He waved his hand, gathered the power of his soul, and his body slowly faded and disappeared.
Niu Niu stood in the yard, looking at the place where Chen Lin disappeared and whispered: "Although uncle's power of destiny can save me, it is still too weak now. I can only treat it as a hope, and I have to rely on myself..."
