Chapter 136 Chess pieces and chessboard
"Avatar technique?"
Uro was a little surprised by the sudden change.
Following closely, his face was slightly moved.
Just because he was keenly aware that the strength of these clones has not weakened in the slightest!
Wuluo is here at the moment, after all, is just a clone with 30% of the body's power. He can handle Lin Shen alone, but he can't be as calm as before when facing seven "Lin Shen".
With a slightly solemn face, Wu Luo opened his mouth and spit out eighteen mouthfuls of sunflower water spiritual energy, and the clouds and mists around him suddenly surged, protecting him.
The sword energy and thunder light that hit like a storm fell on the clouds and mist, but it was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, without a sound.
When the attack dissipated, two-thirds of the spiritual energy in the eighteen mouthfuls of sunflower water remained.
Wuluo, who was protected by the aura of sunflower water, was even more unscathed.
But when Wu Luo left the Kuishui aura, he was surprised to find that he was no longer in the original place, and what appeared in front of him were rolling rocks and dense forests.
There is no one around, how can there be Lin Shen?
Uluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his spiritual sense was separated. It could spread to a distance of 100 meters around, but it seemed to have hit a solid wall and could no longer advance an inch.
"Illusion!"
After a joint blow with the clone, Lin Shen felt his shoulders sinking, and turned his head to see that it was the red fox.
"Quick! Let's leave now!" the red fox said anxiously.
The situation was urgent, Lin Shen didn't ask any more questions, and turned around and left without hesitation, not even having time to watch the results of the joint attack by himself and his avatar. .
After running for 20 to 30 kilometers and still not seeing Wu Luo chasing after him, Lin Shen felt a little relieved, and couldn't help but wonder:
"What did you do to Uro?"
"It's just an illusion." Red Fox said, "But the delay won't be long, at most another quarter of an hour, he will be able to get rid of the illusion and continue to chase!"
Lin Shen was surprised.
Although the Wuluo incarnation only has 30% of the body's strength, it is already much stronger than many Mingqiao ninth-level practitioners.
The red fox can actually use illusion to trap the incarnation of Uro, this strength should not be underestimated!
It seems that the red fox is not an ordinary monster of the Tongxuan realm!
It was just astonishment, but Lin Shen didn't investigate further.
No matter what, the red fox saved his life after all.
Calm down, Lin Shen took a few more talismans on his body, and continued to speed up.
Without the giant horned deer to travel, he can only continue to use the wind control technique.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of return pills before departure, so I can persist along the way.
About ten minutes later, Lin Shen could already see the boundary marker of Xiyan Daze at the end of his vision.
As long as he crosses there, he wins the bet with Uro!
At this moment, Lin Shen's expression changed abruptly, and when he looked back, he saw a cloud of water clouds piercing the sky like a shooting star in the distance, rushing towards this side.
Who is it if it’s not Uro!
Lin Shen's heart shuddered, and he decisively summoned the clone.
As soon as he appeared, the six avatars rushed towards Wu Luo head-on, while Lin Shen took the opportunity to accelerate towards the boundary marker.
Wu Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and flicked, and a clone that rushed to the front was suddenly struck by lightning, and fell backward at a faster speed than when he came.
Immediately, he stretched out his hand again, and a little green light shot out instantly, circled around like a whirlwind, and heard a muffled bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
Wuluo didn't even pause for a moment, and shot straight at Lin Shen like a stream of light, shortening the distance between the two sides to within 100 meters in the blink of an eye.
Chick!
Amid the sound of breaking through the air, Qingmang went straight to Lin Shen's back heart!
At the critical moment, Lin Shen suddenly threw back his hand.
The void suddenly darkened, and amidst the dull whistling sound, a pitch-black inkstone platform appeared at some unknown time. It was only the size of a palm at first, but it expanded to several feet in the blink of an eye, and slammed into Qingmang with a domineering and fierce momentum. !
when!
It sounded like the roar of a copper bell!
Under the blows, Qingmang and Yantai startled together, and they both retreated to their respective masters separately.
With a wave of Wuluo's sleeve robe, the green glow was hidden, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Mysterious weapon!"
He didn't expect that the young human cultivator in front of him actually held a magic weapon of the mysterious level.
Could it be that this person is a direct descendant of the three surnames and five famous families of Jiuyangzong?
Doubtful in his heart, Uro did not proceed.
Because of the delay just now, Lin Shen had already rushed over the boundary marker and walked out of Xiyan Daze.
According to the agreement, he lost the bet!
Although he lost the bet, there was no trace of annoyance on Wu Luo's face. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the red fox on Lin Shen's shoulder.
"The Haoshan Fox Clan is not staying in the Longyuan Mountains, what are they doing here at Xiyan Daze?"
The red fox jumped off Lin Shen's shoulders, with its limbs slightly bent, as if saluting Wu Luo.
"The concubine offended me just now, please forgive me, but the bet did not say that I can't find helpers, so my actions are not considered a violation of the rules. I believe General Uro will not care about us."
"You fox demons are still as cunning as ever."
Uro waved his hand casually, and lazily said:
"Okay, I'm not interested in bickering with you. You guys won the bet. Let's stop killing Wujing. There's nothing to complain about dying on the battlefield in a head-to-head fight. But the head fox demon can no longer step into Xiyan Daze."
"The concubine will leave now." Chihu said softly.
Wu Luo didn't say any more, after taking a deep look at Lin Shen, he turned into a streamer and left without looking back.
Watching Uro disappear at the end of the sky, Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief.
He was a little worried just now that Uro would go back on his word, but fortunately, the other party kept his promise and did not continue to attack him.
It is rumored that monks are the most important of cause and effect. Once they make a promise, they dare not break it easily even if there is no legal deed and blood oath. Now it seems that it is probably true.
Came back to his senses, Lin Shen looked at the red fox.
After relaxing, he found that the brilliance in the red fox's eyes had dimmed a lot, and the luster of the hair was not as bright as before, and he looked very tired.
Obviously, it was not as easy as it said to use the illusion to trap Uro just now.
"Thank you!"
Chihu shook his head, hesitated, and said, "Aren't you curious about the origin of my concubine?"
Lin Shen smiled slightly: "You are from the Fox Department, right?"
Although I have never heard of the Haoshan Fox, there is obviously no one else who can make Wu Luo remember the name, except for the five demon tribes.
"Young master is really clever and intelligent!"
Unknowingly, the red fox's name for Lin Shen also changed.
"Okay, stop flattering me, you should need my help with something, just say it."
In fact, Lin Shen had guessed a long time ago.
If it was just for the simple favor of a meal, the red fox would at most tell him information about Uro, how could he risk his life to help him escape from Uro?
No matter how pure and kind-hearted the demon clan is, they will not sacrifice themselves for others.
So Lin Shen guessed that the red fox probably wanted something from him.
After listening to Lin Shen's words, the red fox was really surprised now, and a gleam flashed in his eyes when he saw him.
She didn't pretend anymore, and said frankly:
"I do have something I would like to ask the young master for help!"
"Say it." Lin Shen said calmly.
"Two months ago, the concubine's tribe was attacked by a group of human cultivators. Many people were captured alive. Only the concubine escaped with a few people."
"You don't want me to help rescue your people, do you?" Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.
The red fox stared fixedly at Lin Shen, and the answer was self-evident.
Lin Shen didn't respond immediately, but asked after thinking for a while, "Do you know the identities of those attackers?"
Chihu nodded: "It's from your Jiuyang Sect."
"." Lin Shen was speechless for a while.
You asked me, a member of Nine Suns Sect, to rescue the demon clan captured by Nine Suns Sect. This brain circuit is too clear!
However, the red fox then explained:
"The concubine is not trying to embarrass the young master, but I have arrested a few people for interrogation. Although they come from the Nine Suns Sect, their actions are not based on the orders of the Nine Suns Sect, but the orders of the high-level family members themselves!"
Lin Shen's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The attacker is from the Yan family?"
Chihu was stunned, and asked curiously: "That's true, how did you know?"
Lin Shen didn't answer, his eyes flickered for a while.
Sure enough!
The fox tribe has always kept a low profile, living in the depths of the Longyuan Mountains all year round, and they want to attack the Fox tribe without being noticed. Only the Yan family who is in the Longyuan Mountains can do this!
It's just that the Yan family didn't restore the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion properly, so why did they attack the Fox Department?
Moreover, according to Chihu, the Yan family has captured a large number of fox demons alive. What are they trying to do?
The more Lin Shen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The Yan family is obviously planning something in the dark!
Doubts abounded in his heart, Lin Shen glanced at the red fox, and suddenly asked: "Although the fox tribe is at the bottom of the five demon tribes, how could it be defeated by the Yan family so easily with the strength of the majestic demon tribe?"
Not to mention that the Yan family has long been weakened, their strength and background are stronger than that of the famous family.
Even the five famous families that are still in their heyday, don’t even think about wiping out the majestic demon tribe with the power of one family.
Didn’t you see that it took all the power of the Nine Suns Sect to wipe out a Tiger Department?
Even if the Fox Department is not as good as the Fox Department, it is not something that a famous family can handle.
After hearing this, a humane wry smile flashed in Chihu's eyes, and he spoke slowly.
"My lord, I don't know that our fox tribe is different from the tiger, python, and bear tribes. We have never had the ambition to strive for grandeur. We just want to live in peace and seclusion in the Longyuan Mountains. In order to better conceal our whereabouts, as early as three hundred years ago In the past, the fox tribe was divided into more than ten tribes, and each tribe lived separately, and our Haoshan fox is one of them."
"Our tribe has no more than a thousand members and only three monks. In order to arrest us, the Yan family dispatched seven or eight monks at once. We are no match at all!"
Lin Shen was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a secret here.
It's no wonder that the fox's whereabouts are the most secretive and treacherous among the five demon tribes, and Ganqing has been broken into pieces.
The smaller the target, the easier it is to hide.
However, there are also weaknesses in this way. Once the lair is discovered by malicious enemies, the power to resist foreign enemies will also be greatly reduced.
The Haoshan Fox Clan is an example!
"Why did the Yan family arrest you?" Lin Shen asked afterward.
The Yan family is now shouldering the important task of restoring the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion. They will definitely not go to the deep mountains to kill the monsters in idleness. They still choose the fox monsters, which are hard to find, let alone capture them alive!
There must be some secret behind it!
Mentioning this, Chihu's eyes suddenly became more serious.
"According to the concubine's investigation, the Yan family should have discovered an underground spiritual cave!"
Underground spirit cave?
Lin Shen was taken aback for a moment.
The so-called spiritual acupoint can actually be said to be a cave in another sense.
Both of these are places with extremely high concentration of aura and a certain degree of closure.
The difference is that caves often exist in the form of a different space, and the aura is peaceful, and most of them have no living creatures inside.
Even if there is, the threat is negligible.
So the caves are often transformed into places like Zongmen Mountain Gate or Taoist Temple by monks who spend a lot of money.
The spirit point is different.
Spiritual acupoints mostly exist in the form of crypts and caves, and the aura is relatively active, which cannot be passively absorbed by practitioners, but can only be absorbed actively.
In addition, there are a large number of ghosts born of aura in the spiritual acupoints.
These spirits are ferocious and will attack all non-spirit creatures that enter the cave.
Because of this, spiritual acupoints are often not feasible to transform.
Of course, this does not mean that the spiritual cave is inferior to the cave.
On the contrary, because the aura is active, the aura in the spiritual acupoint is more likely to be actively absorbed by the practitioner.
The cultivation efficiency in the spiritual acupoint is several times that of the outside!
In addition, there are many good things on the ghosts in the spiritual cave.
So more often, spiritual acupoints are used as a place to hone disciples.
It can not only improve the actual combat ability of the disciples, but also improve the efficiency of cultivation, killing two birds with one stone.
For any sect, spiritual acupoints are no less important than caves.
Even in terms of importance alone, the spiritual acupoint surpasses the two lowest-level caves, Xuanlu and Jingshe!
Lin Shen never expected that the Yan family had found an underground spiritual acupoint.
How did they find out?
etc!
Lin Shen suddenly thought of the war between Jiuyangzong and Hubu not long ago.
At that time, when the Yan family attacked Baihu Mountain, they ruthlessly killed all the monsters on Baihu Mountain, which caused a lot of trouble in the sect.
Afterwards, the Yan family was punished by the sect for this.
Thinking about it now, it is very likely that the Yan family learned of the existence of the underground spiritual cave at that time, and they simply wiped out the entire Baihu Mountain in order to enjoy this secret exclusively!
After that, they paid a high price to take down the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion.
On the surface, it looks like a desperate attempt to use Baihushan Cave Mansion as the basis for revitalizing the family in the future. In fact, it is to find a reasonable cover for opening the underground spiritual cave in the Longyuan Mountains!
Ming repaired the plank road and secretly went to Chencang, the real target of the Yan family was not the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion at all, but the underground spiritual cave!
"It's no wonder that with the influence of the Yan family, they still have to recruit people to collect materials. It turns out that most of their people are used on the underground spiritual cave!"
Lin Shen suddenly realized.
Thinking about it now, behind all the weird behaviors of the Yan family, there is obviously a premeditated plan!
They actually wanted to hide the sect from the sect and occupy the underground spiritual cave all by themselves!
Such behavior is tantamount to betraying the sect. If the sect finds out, it will definitely be necessary to clean up the sect!
Lin Shen's heart suddenly set off a huge wave.
Such secrets are too heavy for him.
Once exposed, it will definitely cause a huge earthquake in the sect!
As for him, a small disciple of the Ming Aperture Realm, if he gets involved, he will be crushed into powder if he is not careful!
"The Yan family captured your people alive just to open the underground spiritual cave?"
"Exactly!"
The red fox nodded heavily.
"The opening of the underground spiritual acupoint is a huge project. If it is done step by step, it will require a huge amount of manpower and material resources. If it is the Nine Suns Sect, it can afford it, but the Yan family does not have this strength, so they adopt the method of blood sacrifice!"
"Blood sacrifice?"
"An evil way requires the use of a large number of practitioners or the essence of the flesh and blood of the monster race. If it is a monk, the effect will be better!"
Lin Shen showed a thoughtful expression.
It seems that when the Tigers hunted and killed the cultivators, they presumably wanted to use blood sacrifices to open the underground spiritual caves.
And now it's the Yan family's turn.
Naturally, the Yan family would not attack human cultivators, otherwise it would definitely attract the attention of the three major sects of Linlong City.
In this way, the Fox Department, whose whereabouts are hidden and few people pay attention to, naturally became the best target of the blood sacrifice.
"What conclusive evidence do you have that can prove that the Yan family secretly opened the underground spiritual cave?" Lin Shen asked.
The red fox hesitated for a while, and opened his mouth to spit out a bead.
The bead is only the size of a longan, and the whole body is pale green, exuding a kind of eerie feeling.
If you look carefully, you can still see a pale and terrified little man imprisoned in the bead.
"This soul-forbidden bead imprisoned the soul of a disciple of the Yan family. He is the son of an elder of the Yan family and knows the whole story from beginning to end."
Lin Shen took a deep look at the red fox, without saying anything, and took the Forbidden Soul Orb.
"I can't promise you anything, I can only say that I will do my best."
The matter is of great importance, and Lin Shen is not fully sure.
To be honest, if he hadn't had a feud with the Yan family, once the Yan family grew stronger by relying on the underground cave, it would be extremely detrimental to his future development in the sect. In addition, in order to repay the red fox's life-saving grace, he would never Get involved in this kind of thing.
All monks and below are ants.
Unless he is promoted to a monk, he will always be just an insignificant **** in the sect.
Even if the talent is the best.
The avenue is boundless, immortality is hard to find, how many amazing talents, talented people died on the way of cultivating the Tao.
Potential is just potential after all, before it is transformed into real strength, it is always just an illusion.
If a chess piece is rashly mixed into the game on the chessboard, it will only become the first one to be sacrificed!
The red fox naturally understood this too. Hearing this, he nodded heavily, his pupils showing gratitude.
"Young master's kindness is engraved in our hearts from top to bottom in our tribe, and one day we will definitely repay you!"
Lin Shen waved his hand: "You saved my life, this is repaying your kindness."
Paused, he said again: "Even if the Yan family incident happens, your people will not regain their freedom. Have you ever thought about this?"
The red fox was silent, and after a while, he said quietly: "In any case, the only way to turn around is to save your life. Even if you lose your freedom, it is better than becoming a blood sacrifice."
Lin Shen glanced at her, nodded and said no more.
