Chapter 1039 Mortals and Immortals
Just as the little sword spirit said, Lin Lan keenly caught the faint ominous smell of X erosion coming from the depths of the Evergreen Mountains.
"If I remember correctly, the hunters who went to Qingxiao Pavilion's mountain gate this morning were walking in this direction."
Lin Lan frowned slightly and put the fishing rod back next to the earthworm box.
At the same time, he also remembered what good Richard had said to Strencus and the others yesterday when he had just arrived.
"The first second I came into this world, I already established a connection with X, who was sleeping in your experimental site in this natural world."
Good man Richard's words, combined with the fact that he used being attacked by an evil cultivator yesterday as an excuse to not arouse any suspicion from the villagers, made him instinctively feel a little uneasy.
"Are you going to take a look? But your ship girl is still in the village. If there is more than one evil spirit..."
The little sword spirit saw that he seemed to be planning to take action, so he reminded him.
But Lin Lan just shook his head seriously and said:
"You don't need me to go there, the other party has already taken the initiative to find you."
As he finished speaking, a dark-haired girl wearing a green shirt similar to a Taoist robe suddenly emerged from the dense forest beside the stream.
His right hand held a sharp long sword that exuded a green luster, but it could be seen from the helpless left arm hanging down that he was obviously seriously injured.
"Mortal...get out of the way!"
Lin Lan did not launch a direct attack, but examined the incoming person.
But before he had time to ask, the other party suddenly turned around and rushed towards the other side of the stream, and gave him a cold drink without politeness.
However, the sword-wielding girl had just stepped out of the air and rushed into the middle of the stream, when three more men, also wearing blue robes, rushed out of the dense forest.
Two of them had large red blood stains on their gowns, and one of them was holding the body of a long-dead man in his hand.
The three men just glanced at Lin Lan disdainfully and continued to chase the dark-haired woman.
The man holding the corpse in his hand also threw the corpse by the river, as if throwing away a piece of edible garbage packaging.
But when Lin Lan saw this scene, his eyes became darker.
Because he noticed that the upper body of the shriveled corpse, whose identity had long since been completely drained of all moisture, was wrapped in a broken animal skin.
That was the animal skin worn by the hunter he entrusted to visit the gate of Qingxiao Pavilion this morning.
And this hunter was also the father of one of the village boys who had just gathered around him to watch him fishing.
Before leaving, this simple man told him that he would definitely get the map if he completed the commission.
"I'm so stupid, I almost forgot.
"This is Natland."
Lin Lan looked at the abandoned corpse with a cold face, took a long breath, and made a mockery of himself like a sigh.
The little sword spirit beside him couldn't help but tremble, feeling the fierce murderous intent from Lin Lan's voice.
The flying speed of the three uninjured men in green shirts was obviously faster than that of the injured girl with long black hair.
If nothing else happened, the girl would not even be able to cross the stream, and would be robbed in mid-air.
However, just when the dark-haired girl saw that there was no way to escape, she gritted her teeth and prepared to fight to the death.
The water surface of the creek that was originally flowing peacefully below the four people suddenly rose up without any warning. Several sharp spikes of water rose up.
"What is this..."
"puff."
Before the three men in green shirts had time to react, the body of the man who had just left the corpse was instantly penetrated by five or six transparent water spikes.
Before he even had time to call for help, the next second, the water thorns in his body suddenly exploded.
His entire body completely turned into bright red blood mist in the blink of an eye.
What made the other three people even more horrified was that after the blood mist dispersed, they all suspended in the air, as if they were being pulled by some kind of force.
Both the pursuer and the pursued were frozen in mid-air, not daring to move.
They were even so frightened that they even forgot to breathe.
"Killing to pay for life is a matter of course."
Only then did they hear an indifferent young voice coming from the bank of the stream they had just passed.
Lin Lan came to the corpse and squatted down. With a gloomy face, he took out a piece of coarse cloth soaked in dried blood from the animal skin pocket wrapped in the corpse.
There are crooked patterns printed on the coarse silk, and the workmanship looks extremely rough.
But Lin Lan folded it extremely preciously and put it into the Sumeru Ring.
This coarse cloth was exactly the map of Dakang County that he had specially entrusted to go to Qingxiao Pavilion to ask for in the early morning.
After doing all this, he stood up and walked towards the three people who did not dare to move step by step on the cobblestones by the stream with a sullen face.
"If my guess is correct, the three of them should be disciples of Qingxiao Pavilion, right?
"There should be two more people who rushed to Qianshan Gate with him this morning with the Poison Green Inner Pill."
Lin Lan stood by the stream and coldly questioned the three extremes from a distance.
He suddenly discovered that the invisible breath skill in the brave skill column that should have been unusable had become releaseable again.
Although he couldn't figure out why Xi suddenly started working for him for free, Lin Lan did not hesitate and immediately let Xi activate his psychic spying ability.
"Senior, I, we are indeed disciples of Qingxiao Pavilion, but we have never killed other blood... mortals."
A man in blue shirt in the air turned around tremblingly and said to him with great fear.
But after hearing these words, a ray of uncontrollable anger flashed in the eyes of the injured dark-haired girl:
"Senior, don't listen to his nonsense! They..."
"puff!"
Before the girl could finish her words, four more water spikes rose up from the stream without any warning.
The extreme person who explained to Lin Lan originally wanted to make a resistance move, but was pierced by the water thorn in an instant, and also ended up exploding to death.
In the blood mist, a round blue inner elixir was dragged in mid-air by a stream of water that seemed to be alive, and was slowly delivered to Lin Lan's hand.
Such a bloody scene once again made the two remaining Extremes feel cold to the bones.
The eyes of this black-haired young man, whom they had just regarded as a mortal, were flashing with a terrifying crimson light, making them unable to even have the slightest desire to resist.
"I see, that's what happened...
"No wonder you have the aura of
"And the impact of the bad omen seems to be much greater than I imagined..."
Lin Lan put the poisonous green inner elixir into the Sumeru Ring and looked coldly at the last male extreme person.
"Senior, senior, if you have anything to say, I, I am willing to be a cow or a horse for you. I, my father is the elder of the sect, and there are many spiritual stones and treasures in the sect..."
Seeing Lin Lan looking at him, the last remaining male extreme finally collapsed completely and cried towards Lin Lan.
"You did not kill the villagers in this village."
Lin Lan's cold voice instantly lit the fire of hope in the eyes of this male extreme who was already crying.
However, in the next moment, several water thorns penetrated his body.
"Last night, you personally led a team to massacre four villages in the Evergreen Mountains that have been protected by your Qingxiao Sect for hundreds of years."
Before the life disappeared, the last thing this extreme person heard was Lin Lan's solemn voice:
"When the mortals in the village were crying and begging you to let them go, did you... give them a chance?"
