Chapter 10: Sit Back and Wait for the Opportunity to Gain Benefits
Kill them = gain experience points from Nightmare Mark + 6 keys = 1~2 pieces of silver plot equipment/dark gold equipment
Let them go = three points/two gold potential points + run errands for us and find people.
Fang Lin quickly wrote out such an intuitive formula on the sand. So Lao Hu, who was still a little unhappy at first, suddenly felt calm, and anyone could see which option was the best. In fact, if a strong man wants to show his majesty, he must not kill all the enemies, but use the enemy's strength to his own advantage.
The best example to demonstrate this law is the Huaihai battle of Taizu of this dynasty. The ratio of the enemy's strength before the war was 600,000 millets + rifles for the Communist army vs. 800,000 American troops for the Chinese army. After this battle, the strength of the Communist army swelled to more than 700,000, and the National Army was almost completely wiped out. The more we fight, the less damage we lose, and the more it expands like a snowball. This is what a strong man with ambition and big plans does. Fighting and killing wherever you go will not have the effect of using war to support war. Then If you kill ten thousand enemies and injure eight thousand yourself, you will eventually run out of strength and blood.
After Fang Lin signed the verbal agreement with Babylon and others with the power of the newly promoted top ten, Babylon and others were also in high spirits, so they rushed to the desert to find people. At this time, Fang Lin knew the importance of powerful magic and would not miss any opportunity to increase his proficiency. He offered to help Babylon and others cut food and equipment. If someone else had told them, Babylon and the others might have asked for more. Suspected of corruption, Fang Lin revealed his identity - since the Fool, a powerful member of the top ten, spared them and refused to kill them, would he still take advantage of them? That was something I didn't even dare to think about. When I saw the cut food that Fang Lin casually threw over, I could only describe it as turning decay into magic. The traces of humiliation and anger that had been hidden deeply in the hearts of the people in Babylon were all gone. It was eliminated and turned completely into fear and awe.
The two people Fang Lin was looking for were carried back. One person's body was covered in bruises, and it looked like he had just rolled back and forth on a nail board. If he took a sip of water, it might be exposed from the holes all over his body, but the other person was completely intact. But his face was pale and his whole body was trembling, as if he had seen a ghost.

When Babylon's group left, Fang Lin gave them a firework, giving them an explanation to release them when they encountered unsolvable difficulties. However, Fang Lin also made it clear beforehand that he and his group had I will help only when I have spare time.
After Babylon and others left, Fang Lin glanced at the wounded on the ground and said calmly:
"Mr. Marat Damon Sasic, you are safe and there is no need to pretend anymore."
After he said these words, the guy who seemed to be frightened suddenly regained his eyesight and said with a wry smile:
"It's true that nothing can be hidden from adults' eyes."
This seemingly cowardly loser is, of course, the mission client Marat Damon Sasic who behaved courageously, intelligently, and eloquently in front of Fang Lin!
The person he kept asking Fang Lin to protect was actually himself, but the world he experienced was obviously changed to the world of the Three Kingdoms with Fang Lin, but somehow it was restored to the world of Journey to the West. It is estimated that it is either with the help of some powerful golden props, or by asking the chosen one to take action, but now the chosen ones are frightened by Fang Lin. If the chosen one is invited to take action, the price of this Marat will not be high. few.
"It seems that the task you are here to do is quite important." Fang Lin said lightly.
Marat knew that the best way to deal with someone like Fang Lin was to tell the truth, so he nodded calmly and said:
"yes."
Fang Lin smiled and said:
"Let's talk about the ugly things first. Our agreement only states that we will try to take you two out of this golden main quest world. If you cause any great risks by acting without authorization, once I feel that the risks you take are not worth two gold potential points. If so, I won’t come to the rescue.”
Marat's expression changed, but Fang Lin saw confidence in his eyes. The man nodded silently, bent down and began to bandage the wound of his companion. It was not until the wound was bandaged that he said:
"Sir, I have something to say."
Fang Lin nodded and said:
"You tell me."
"This desert is very dangerous once night falls. It was the place where the bones of thousands of monks were buried..." Fang Lin didn't look impatient at all when he heard the information he had known for a long time, because he knew that even if It was Marat who was weak and wanted to seek protection from himself and others, but Everything in the world has its use, just like although the toilet is dirty, it is extremely inconvenient without it - Fang Lin is able to reach where he is now because he can correctly treat the strength of himself and his enemies. Neither look down upon oneself, nor look down upon others.
"... We are currently staying here less than fifty kilometers away from the edge of the desert. There is still about an hour until sunset. Logically speaking, we can't get out. But today is an exception."
After hearing this, Fang Lin's eyes flashed and he said:
"how?"
Marat said:
"Because the reincarnations who came in first have already rushed to Zhiyuan Temple and issued an order to recruit demon soldiers, so with the gathering of demonic energy, in about twenty minutes, a black sandstorm will blow up that covers the sky and the sun! If you forcefully move in the black sandstorm, not only will your movement speed be reduced sharply, but your physical strength will also be reduced at a rate of 1% per second. "
Fang Lin didn't say anything yet, but Lin Yinxiu and the others frowned a little after hearing this, but it was just a frown. Marat's words undoubtedly meant that there were reincarnations who had entered in advance, and they still stood by Hu Li, Lu Li , over there with the three demon immortals Yang Li. Fang Lin muttered:
"Then what do you mean?"
Marat said frankly:
"I know a lair of the demon soldiers entrenched in the desert. It will not be disturbed by ghosts at night, and my mission will be to go there to complete the first step."
Fang Lin looked at him for a while, then smiled and said:
"Very well, I like people who are honest. You can lead the way."
Marat's companion has a Chinese name, Tang Long. He is actually an out-and-out foreigner. He has a beard all over his face, thick arms and a round waist. He looks like an American doing manual work. heavy truck driver. This guy admires Chinese culture very much. He named it after the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous and famous dynasty in Chinese history, and the Chinese totem beast dragon.
Although the wounds on his body are scary, although this guy's defense and attack power are not high, his physical limit is very high, and his recovery ability is also extremely fast. Therefore, combat capability was quickly restored. This guy also surprisingly has a passive aura skill called Exciting Aura, which can increase the critical hit rate of allies within 50 meters by 3% and increase the physical strength by 3%. These two attributes are also quite effective in the team. .
Under the guidance of Marat, after climbing more than ten sand dunes in succession, we have entered a semi-desert and semi-Gobi area. At this time, less than ten minutes had passed, and the sun was quickly dimming. The gloomy dark clouds on the horizon seemed to be condensed and rushed over, pressing low on the ground. Looking from a distance, it seemed that even the clouds seemed to be there. It was as if the sky and the earth were connected. It seemed that the black storm Marat said was definitely not a lie, but lying about what would happen in dozens of minutes was something that only extremely stupid people would do.
Seeing the black storm rolling in quickly, with such a huge momentum that it seemed that even the heaven and earth were blackened, Fang Lin and his party couldn't help but speed up their march. After crossing another sand mountain, a piece of Yadan landform appeared in front of us. Yadan means "precipitous mound" in ancient Uyghur language. The surface here is still a layer of fine dry sand. There are thousands of hard rock pillars and mounds standing on it, which were blown out by the strong winds in the desert mixed with sand and gravel.
The tallest among them is a giant rock pillar that looks like a city wall and a palace. It looks like a tiger lying on its back. It is 12 to 20 meters high. The side walls are steep and extremely difficult to climb. The sedimentary bedding can be clearly seen from the cross section of the side wall; the lower part is a thick gray-green sand layer, and the uppermost layer is a layer of light red silt clay, with a very flat top surface.
The surrounding mounds and stone pillars are of various shapes; some are like "castles", dignified and dignified; some are like "city outlines" with dragons and tigers perched on them. The passages distributed between these natural buildings are thick and thin, like streets and alleys, looking deep, strange, and doubly eerie.
Marat let out a long breath and said:
"Here we are, the entrance is under the tiger-shaped stone pillar. Once night falls, the demon soldiers raised by the three demon immortals will come out to practice. Some come out to practice with the souls of monks who died in the desert, and some come out to swallow moonlight to increase their demon power. , once they learn to change The art of transformation was called into the Chechi Kingdom to help the three demon immortals. Although the king of Chechi Kingdom is not exhausted at present, the three demon immortals have been here for twenty years, and with the help of the reincarnations who came first, it may not be possible. We cannot seize the opportunity of Che Chi to conquer the world!”
Fang Lin nodded and said:
"I understand, oh by the way, before I came here I was busy with the Ten Powerful Battle for Hegemony, so I was in a hurry and didn't do enough research on this world. You should be quite well prepared. Do you know why the Central and Western Coins are summoned? No helper plot characters?”
Marat said:
"You entered this world by inheriting my past information. In the last scene of the Fire Cloud Cave in the Withered Pine Stream, someone in the team maliciously killed the summoned plot hero to obtain related skills. After Sun Wukong died three times in a row, It is no longer possible to summon in normal mode. Instead, three The summoned plot hero is in an invincible state and cannot be controlled/communicated. The plot hero will theoretically exert its greatest strength in this world and attack the most threatening enemy on the battlefield. The attack only lasts for 60 seconds."
It can be seen from Marat's words that in order to obtain powerful skills in the nightmare world, he really does everything. Even friendly plot characters cannot escape their plot. Fang Lin nodded and saw that the black storm that was only on the horizon had quietly occupied half of the sky. The sudden strong leading wind blew away the original heat, and even screamed in the stone forest mounds. If ghosts cry and gods howl, ghosts come to the world.
After walking under the tiger-shaped stone pillar, Tang Long moved a big stone and saw a deep black hole. Lao Hu pressed Marat's shoulder and walked in side by side with him. Fang Lin acted extremely cautiously. , never lose guard at any time In the palm of Hu Huahao's heart, Marat can protect him in time. Once he has any strange thoughts, compared with his strength and Lao Hu, it is like a cunning rabbit in the palm of a hungry tiger. There is no chance at all. There is no chance of survival!
At this time, the black storm had come with thousands of sand and dust, and there were still the cries of thousands of innocent souls in the wind. Fang Lin deliberately stood in the wind, just to verify the effect of the black storm that Marat said If so, there are many lies and conspiracies in the world that have been completely exposed through these trivial details.
After walking into the cave, the place inside is quite spacious and bright. The light seems to come from the cave wall. The ground is still yellow sand, but it is very even, fine and clean. After walking forward for more than a hundred meters, still no demon soldiers appeared. Marat suddenly said:
"Wait a minute. You should be able to get some benefits here."
"Oh?" Wuxiaofu also appeared at this time, and his eyes lit up as soon as he heard the word "benefits".
Marat pointed to a dark rock tunnel on the top of the cave wall on the left and said:
"Although this black storm is fierce and evil, the Three Demon Immortals have elite-level demonized vultures that specialize in flying in the black storm. They often carry some good things that the Three Demon Immortals reward their disciples and grandchildren. Those special demonized vultures They will fly in one after another from these naturally occurring caves, and we can wait here and try it out.”
Sure enough, not long after, a shrill scream was heard coming from far and near. The sound sounded like the cry of an innocent soul, but it was actually the cry of joy of this elite-level demonized vulture. Then a giant elite demonized vulture with its wings retracted rushed out of the hole. It felt like a round spindle, spinning straight towards it at high speed. It looked as if it was going to hit the cave wall in front of it, but it deftly drew a crescent-shaped arc in the air, glided close to the ground and spread its wings, with a wingspan of almost three meters, sweeping the yellow on the ground. The sand was so agitated that large swaths of sand fog rose up!
