Chapter 775 Rules

One month later.

Chen Lin, who was studying, put down the bamboo scroll and checked Meng Hezhang's body.

Still nothing has changed.

This made him frown. It had been so long and there had been no movement. Was it because no members of the Alliance of Worlds had appeared, or had something changed inside?

After thinking for a while, he stopped thinking about it.

There is no way to guess this situation, but the opponent's vitality is still there, which means that even if something unexpected happens, he is still trapped inside, and has not turned into a creature from the nightmare world, nor has he died.

Otherwise, if the projection disappears, the external body will also be cut off from life.

Chen Lin checked again, stuffed a Bigu Pill into the other person's mouth, then returned to the outer room and continued to study the characters.

The energy of the bone fragments is very strong. As long as it is not a special scene like the Bluestone Street, the projection can be maintained for a long time. Meng and Zhang cannot wait for anyone, or cannot find the task rules to leave, and there is no need to worry about the projection being wiped out if it cannot be maintained. situation occurs.

After waiting like this for nearly half a month, Qu Qingzhou and Meng Dashan came over to inquire about it in the name of delivering something, but he prevaricated them.

But waiting all the time was not an option, so Chen Lin thought about finding another veteran cultivator to take a look.

Before the idea could be implemented, at noon one day, Meng Hezhang slowly opened his eyes.

"How about it?"

After checking the other party's situation through the crow, Chen Lin immediately walked into the inner room and asked about the situation.

"Replying to my lord, it's nothing. There is nothing there. It's just a cave. There seems to be some invisible things blocking it around. You can't get out from the exit, and you can't destroy the rock wall."

Meng Hezhang described it, and then said: "Furthermore, there is a strange energy in it, which makes me feel a sense of rejection. But with the bone fragments given to me by the adults, no accidents happened."

After hearing what the other party said, Chen Lin nodded with a gentle expression.

He didn't say much about the situation in the Nightmare Realm in previous exchanges, but the information the other party said was consistent with the rules of the Nightmare Realm. The cave was also the same as Xu Zihan's original description, which meant that the other party did not speak.

"Then who did you meet inside, and what are the conditions for leaving?"

These two are the issues he cares about, and nothing else is important.

"Sir, I have been waiting in that cave. Only just now did a very strange woman appear. There was a small tree growing on her head and two shoulders. They were not placed on top, but they were actually growing on her body. inside!"

Meng Hezhang seemed to have not recovered from the shock and rushed over, and his tone fluctuated greatly.

Chen Lin was not too surprised. Since he came into contact with the nightmare world, he had seen too many strange creatures and he was already accustomed to them.

Seeing that Chen Lin had no reaction, Meng Hezhang also calmed down and continued: "But the woman's attitude was pretty good, and I could actually understand what she said. After I introduced myself according to the instructions, the other party will The way to leave showed me.”

"what way?"

Chen Lin immediately asked.

With a strange look on his face, Meng Hezhang said: "There is a smooth stone slab next to the entrance of the cave, and there is a grassland outside. When the stone slab changes color, just write down the number of big birds on the grassland on the stone slab. If you answer it correctly, you will be fine." left."

After a pause, he added: "But according to what the woman with the small tree said, you can only see it by yourself, and you can't let others prompt you. When I checked, there were only two big birds on the grass. After writing it down, follow the instructions. The adults told me to put away the bone fragments, but they were expelled after a while."

Chen Lin had a strange look on his face.

This rule is really simple, but also strange enough.

"Is the big bird aggressive?"

Chen Lin continued to ask.

Since there are living creatures, we have to guard against them.

Meng Hezhang immediately replied: "I can't get out of the cave and test it, but the woman said she won't be attacked."

Chen Lin nodded slightly, thinking that he would not be aggressive, otherwise the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance would not choose this place to gather.

He basically understood the situation, but to be on the safe side, he still used the enchantment technique and asked again: "Please tell me the specific situation again."

Meng Hezhang's eyes were blurred, and he repeated what he had just said, with basically no discrepancies.

Then Chen Lin asked for some details, and the other party answered them one by one, making him look satisfied.

"Okay, you can leave!"

Chen Lin took back the bone fragments and the dome and sent the other party out of the inn.

Then he came to a shop.

"Shopkeeper, how is the situation?"

The shop was not big, and there was only one old foundation-builder inside. Chen Lin asked.

When the old man saw it was Chen Lin, he immediately came up to him with a smile.

"It turns out to be Daoyou Chen. The landlord has responded to the letter, but the price may need to be raised a bit. Recently, there seems to be some problems with the Lingtian in the Xiaoling Realm. The quantity of Lingmi has decreased and prices have fluctuated greatly."

"There's something wrong with the spiritual field. Is it serious?"

Chen Lin was shocked when he heard this.

The so-called Xiaoling Realm is an independent space opened by ancient cultivators, which is connected to the cave. Basically, all caves have it.

It was originally supposed to be a place where ancient cultivators cultivated elixirs, but now spiritual rice is planted. This is because after practicing the Heavenly Covering Technique, the spiritual power in the monks' bodies is mixed, and even the golden elixir cannot keep away grains for a long time, so they need to use spiritual rice regularly to replenish their energy.

He doesn't have to worry, but if there is no spiritual rice in the small spirit realm, this cave may not be able to maintain, and the position will have to be moved. Who knows what trouble will arise.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that when the price of spiritual rice rises, the prices of other things will also rise. Life will be difficult."

With a sigh, he looked at Chen Lin and said: "The house owner and fellow Taoist are both Yuanying monks. Now the other party requires the treasures used by Yuanying monks to be traded. Fellow Taoist can consider it. If it doesn't work, I will give it to you. Find someone else.”

Chen Lin thought for a while and took out a magic weapon-level flying sword.

"This flying sword was obtained from my exploration of the ancient cave. I don't know if I can satisfy the other party. The shopkeeper should bring the landlord to have a talk!"

There are plenty of treasures in his storage bag, but he has been pretending to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it is not appropriate to take out treasures that are too good to avoid attracting attention.

"Okay, then Fellow Daoist Chen, wait a moment."

The old shopkeeper looked at Feijian, summoned a man from behind and asked him to find someone.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is a foreign monk, right? Where do you come from?"

After the waiter left, the shopkeeper found a topic to chat with Chen Lin.

"Haha, the shopkeeper has a keen eye. Chen did come from somewhere else, but I like to explore and don't stay in each place for a long time. However, something happened when I went to the swamp before. This time I came here When I get here, I plan to stay here forever.”

He was vague and did not give the other party a clear answer.

As for the other party being able to see his identity as an outsider, it's not surprising.

There are less than 20,000 people in this gathering place. Although there are many Yuanying monks, they are only a few hundred. Everyone who has lived in the same place for so many years should not have no impression at all. Moreover, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is impossible for him to have no place to live, and it is definitely rare to buy a house in person, so the other party would make such a guess.

"oh?"

The shopkeeper was surprised when he heard Chen Lin's words.

"Have you ever been to the swamp, Fellow Daoist Chen? I heard that there is a very strange monster in the swamp near our snowfield. Even strong men like the three cave masters dare not set foot in it!"

Chen Lin's heart moved.

This is what he has heard many times about powerful monsters in the swamp, but he has been exploring there for so long and has not encountered any danger.

I don’t know what the so-called monster is and why it didn’t attack him.

After thinking about it, he looked puzzled and said, "Really? Does the shopkeeper know what kind of monster that is?"

"I'm not sure about this. I've also heard that the swamp is very mysterious. Even the Tianluo people don't dare to go there. Fortunately, the monster doesn't come here. As long as you don't go there, it'll be fine."

The shopkeeper shook his head and answered.

Chen Lin recalled the situation in the swamp in his mind, and did not feel anything unusual.

But since everyone said so, that monster should exist. I don’t know if it was because he was lucky and didn’t encounter it, or for other reasons.

The most likely possibility is that Hua Ruyu or Xiaocao brought the bronze coffin and was swept into this place by the void turbulence, encountered the monster, and then overdrawn their source to kill the monster, or beat it away.

That's why the Bronze Pavilion fell into the swamp, and Xiaocao and the others turned into flowers.

Of course, this is all speculation, and the specific situation is unknown. I just won’t go there in the future.

At this time, the clerk brought the homeowner over, and they bargained for a while and finalized the deal.

What Chen Lin bought was an independent courtyard. Although it was not big, it was very clean and more convenient than living in an inn.

He first checked the house inside and out, and then began to set up the formation.

When everything was ready, he took out some puppets and placed them in the yard, then brought Fat Tiger out of the nightmare world to protect him, and then entered the nightmare world.

As soon as his eyes flashed, Chen Lin appeared in a cave.

Checking the situation immediately, I didn't see the alien race that Meng and Zhang mentioned, so I guess they must have left.

The space inside the cave is very spacious and slightly dark, but there is nothing except the bare rock walls.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Chen Lin walked towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as I arrived at the exit, I saw a smooth stone slab next to it. There was nothing special about it. If you didn't know the inside story, it would be difficult to imagine that the rules of the mission for leaving required the number of big birds to be written on it.

He glanced twice and then looked outside the cave entrance.

It is indeed a grassland, and the area is not small. There are huge stones around the grassland, and there are some low mountains in the distance.

But there are no big birds now.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lin walked out of the cave.

There are no birds now, and the stone slab has not changed color, so I will check the situation first.

After taking just two steps, he felt an invisible barrier appear.

This feeling was all too familiar. It was within the restricted range of the first-level road guide. He didn't pay attention and went straight through.
