Chapter 1196: The Old Man Fishing
As soon as these words came out, everyone was talking about it. Those who could survive until now were all powerful masters with some skills. They naturally saw the situation clearly.
They really needed to continue exploring forward, otherwise they would never get out of here.
In addition, Huang Caizun and the other two showed very strong fighting power in these two battles. In any group, the words of the strong are always convincing.
After some reorganization, nearly a hundred warriors chose a direction and marched forward in a mighty manner.
Some warriors with serious injuries were in the middle of the team. Huang Caizun and the other two took the lead at the front of the team, and Lin Che and his sister followed behind.
The direction in which everyone was moving forward was not aimless, but was moving towards the direction where the spiritual energy in the air was getting richer. No matter what space barrier, the various laws here require spiritual energy to maintain.
And the place with richer spiritual energy is closer to the core of the barrier.
Everyone climbed over a high mountain and crossed a river. There was not even a monster beast in the vast mountains and wilderness.
Just when everyone thought there was really no danger here, an old man was fishing by a small river.
The old man had no spiritual power fluctuations all over his body. He sat on a reclining chair with a straw hat on his head.
What surprised people most was that although the old man had no spiritual power, his temperament seemed to be integrated with this world. The old man was half lying and half leaning there. If it weren't for everyone seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't sense his existence at all.
It seemed that the old man was also a part of this world, not a living person.
Lin Che frowned. With his strength, he couldn't sense any spiritual power of the old man. Could this person be a peerless great power?
However, no matter how Lin Che looked at it, this old man didn't look like a hidden strong man, because his temperament was more like an ordinary fisherman in the mountains.
Huang Caizun also looked at the fishing old man with a puzzled look. Obviously, he couldn't see any spiritual power of the old man at all, but how could he be an old man without spiritual power to appear in this ancient ruins?
"Senior, please forgive me for being so rude. Do you know the way here?" Huang Caizun said respectfully with his fists clasped.
Even this young master of a powerful family did not dare to be reckless to an old man whose strength he did not know at all.
However, the old man did not respond and continued to fish quietly there.
Huang Caizun frowned slightly. He took a step forward and saw the old man's face clearly. It turned out that the old man fell asleep while fishing.
Huang Caizun hesitated for a moment, then gently touched the old man's shoulder.
"Old man?"
"Oh? Which kid is so rude? Didn't you see that the old man is taking a nap here?" The old man was woken up by Huang Caizun and snorted coldly.
"I am sorry to disturb the old man's rest. We got lost here. I wonder if the old man knows the way here." Huang Caizun said politely.
Perhaps seeing Huang Caizun's apology attitude was better, the old man withdrew his anger.
"Old man, I have been fishing here for thousands of years. Of course I know the way here." The old man said lightly.
"Please tell us, I will be grateful." Huang Caizun begged hurriedly.
"You and I are not related, why should I tell you?" The old man asked.
Huang Caizun was slightly surprised, and then continued patiently, "Then may I ask, what will it take for you to tell us the way out of here?"
"I haven't caught any fish all day, and I'm not in a good mood. I'll tell you the way after I catch some fish." The old man said impatiently.
Huang Caizun looked frustrated. He was so polite and respectful, but he didn't expect this old man to be so disrespectful.
The shirtless man on the side snorted coldly and was about to go up to the old man to make trouble, but was stopped by Huang Caizun's eyes.
Although he was very angry at the moment, facing this old man who couldn't see his depth at all, Huang Caizun didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing Huang Caizun waiting patiently, the other warriors naturally did not dare to say anything. They had to stay where they were and rest for a while, waiting for the old man to catch the fish.
An hour passed, and although the fish swam happily in the stream, no one was caught.
Lin Che frowned and looked carefully. There was no bait on the old man's hook.
There was only an iron hook, how could the fish be caught?
Lin Che thought for a moment, then walked forward.
"Old man, since you have caught the fish, please tell us how to go."
As soon as this was said, everyone was confused. Could it be that this guy had hallucinations? When did this old man catch the fish?
The old man was also slightly surprised. He looked at the empty fish basket beside him and couldn't help but said coldly, "Where is my fish?"
Lin Che smiled slightly, "Aren't all the fish on the shore the ones you caught?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?" The old man smiled playfully.
"There is no bait on your hook. You are waiting for someone to take the bait." Lin Che said calmly.
The old man turned around and looked at Lin Che with a strange look, then laughed.
"Hahaha, it seems that there are smart fish."
After these words came out, some warriors were still confused, but some people had already reacted.
Isn't this ancient ruins a trap to attract people like them to take the bait?
The hot woman looked at Lin Che deeply. This young man in white made her a little interested.
Huang Caizun on the side had a pale face. He was still waiting stupidly, but he didn't expect to be tricked by the old man.
Moreover, Lin Che's words made Huang Caizun look stupid.
But since things were like this, it was naturally hard for him to say anything.
"Since the old man has caught a 'fish', please give us some guidance." Lin Che said calmly as she looked at the old man in front of her.
The old man nodded, and then looked at the nearly 100 warriors, "It is not impossible to leave this world. Keep walking eastward from here, and there is a space vortex, which can lead to the outside of the ruins, but the space vortex There are some monsters guarding it.
Whether you can leave alive depends on your luck.
If you go all the way west from here, it will lead to the depths of the ruins. The old man's bait will be there, but the hooks there are also very sharp. "
This was a pun, but everyone present understood what it meant at this moment.
But the old man continued: "Besides these two roads, there is another road that is the easiest.
Whoever can go down to the river and help the old man catch ten fish, I will personally take you out of here, old man. "The old man said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, all the warriors' eyes lit up. How difficult is it to go down to the river to catch ten fish? There are all powerful people present. Although going down to the river to catch fish for the old man is a bit of a loss of status, at this time, survival is the most important thing. Who can Still care about face?
"But the old man would like to remind you that the water in this small river is extremely cold. You cannot use your spiritual power in the river, so that catching fish counts.
Moreover, the water of this river is limited by the power of the laws of heaven and earth. If anyone secretly uses spiritual power in it, they will be responsible for the consequences. "
Hearing this, all the warriors looked at each other in shock.
But how cold can the water get?
The people present are all strong ones in the Emperor's Ancestral Realm. Even if they don't use their spiritual power, how can they be afraid of the cold water of the river?
"Let me try!"
A body-refining expert at the late stage of the Imperial Formation said loudly.
This person's body is very powerful, and his explosive muscles look very scary.
For body-refining warriors, even if they don't use spiritual power, their physical strength is very powerful.
He jumped into the river, but before he could reach out to catch the fish, he felt the terrifying Ling Han penetrate into his bones!
The warrior's complexion changed drastically. His physical strength was obviously unable to withstand this Ling Han intention, and with every breath that passed, the Ling Han power became stronger!
The body-refining warrior gritted his teeth and caught a fish in the water with lightning speed, but by this time his arms were already covered with frost.
The frost spread rapidly, and when he saw that he was about to be frozen into ice, the warrior gritted his teeth and quickly used his spiritual power to resist the cold.
A trace of spiritual power seeped into the river water, and a strange scene appeared next.
The tall body of the warrior suddenly shrunk, and the frost around him turned into fish scales!
Under everyone's horrified gaze, he actually turned into a fish, wandering in the river at a loss.
