At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Lin Chen dodged and avoided the attack, and at the same time kicked it hard on the head.

Boom!

The huge body of the beast flew out and fell into the water.

Lin Chen took advantage of the victory and rushed into the lake.

The bottom of the lake was very wide, two or three hundred meters wide, and there were mysterious patterns everywhere.

"Damn it!" Lin Chen cursed in his heart.

Just now, he clearly sensed that there was a strange force of rules acting on him.

The more he urged his magic power, the more complicated these patterns would become.

The most important thing is that there was a strange energy in this lake that blocked his spiritual power.

Lin Chen tried, but he couldn't mobilize his spiritual power at all, and he couldn't even use the storage ring, so he could only fight with his body.

Therefore, even if he had the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Sword, he couldn't break these mysterious patterns.

"It seems that if I want to enter that palace, I can only swim in the lake." Lin Chen's mind was active.

He leaped up, stepped on the back of a dragon, and glided towards the shore with the help of the dragon's claws.

This dragon, with red scales all over its body, exuded a strong aura of ferocity.

Its strength was comparable to that of the innate great perfection. Under Lin Chen's control, it paddled in the water.

"Roar..."

The dragon roared, shaking the lake surface and raising huge waves.

Lin Chen rushed at the bottom of the lake and finally reached the shore.

He did not stop at all, grabbed the man's shoulder, turned into a residual image, and fled into the distance.

It was too dangerous here.

Those mysterious patterns could seal the spiritual power and mental power. If he stayed here for a long time, other fierce beasts might come, and it would be difficult for him to escape at that time.

Fortunately, these dragons were very smart and did not leave the lake. Once they found that the situation was not good, they immediately retreated to the surface of the water and turned back.

After a while, Lin Chen brought the man to a valley.

The valley was very quiet, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Lin Chen found an open space, sat cross-legged, swallowed two healing pills, and closed his eyes to rest.

Three days passed, and he recovered 70% to 80%. He stood up, brought the man to him, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Lin, and I'm one of the gatekeepers here."

Wang Lin said respectfully, with admiration in his eyes.

They are all monsters, but they have their own pride and are absolutely unwilling to be subordinate to others.

Especially their fifth-level beasts, which are top masters in the entire Nanling.

Now, he is willing to recognize Lin Chen as his master, which is very rare.

Because in the entire Nanling, there are only a handful of people who can make him surrender.

But he dare not say these words casually, for fear of angering this evil star.

Lin Chen frowned and said, "I asked you what your last name is, why are you talking about this?"

"My parents are dead, so I don't have a last name either." Wang Lin said.

"So, you are an orphan?" Lin Chen asked.

"I guess so." Wang Lin said with a wry smile.

"I can give you a surname, but you have to promise one thing." Lin Chen said.

Wang Lin hurriedly said, "Please tell me, sir."

"Follow me, I will give you a new surname, and I will call you Lin Hai from now on." Lin Chen looked at Wang Lin solemnly and said, "Are you willing?"

"Lin Hai..." Wang Lin chewed on this surname and felt a little warm.

He nodded and said, "I am willing, and I will swear to be loyal to you until death, and I will go through fire and water, and I will not refuse to die!"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "In this case, I will not talk nonsense, and I will teach you the "Qingmu Jue" now. You must remember one thing, and remember not to leak it out, otherwise, I will not forgive you."

Wang Lin knelt down quickly, kowtowed three times devoutly, and said, "Lin Hai swears to be loyal to the master until death!"

Lin Chen took out a pen and paper, wrote down the content of "Qingmu Jue" quickly, and handed it to Lin Hai.

"This is a skill, you should understand it carefully." After Lin Chen finished speaking, he flew away.

Soon after, he returned to the shore, collecting various herbs and rare minerals along the way, preparing to refine a furnace of healing pills.

Although he already had a Jade Soul-Nourishing Pill, it was too expensive and he was reluctant to take it easily.

This healing pill was extremely valuable and helped him a lot. It could speed up his cultivation, so even though it was rare, he still didn't want to miss it.

On the plain outside the valley, Lin Chen sat cross-legged and continued to absorb the rich wood elements in this world to replenish the consumed true energy.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked into the distance in surprise.

There, a black-robed figure was walking over, with terrifying murderous intent surging around him.

He was burly, all black, like a ghost, with cold eyes and a cold light.

In his right hand, he held a long knife, with a sharp edge, as if to tear the void.

"Huh? Not dead yet?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the man in black.

This person was wearing a black robe and a hat, which concealed his appearance and his aura was well hidden.

But Lin Chen knew of his existence.

Because he could sense it through those mysterious patterns.

"This person's strength is not bad, he should be at the innate level."

This is a strong enemy, but it did not exceed Lin Chen's expectations.

Because there are dozens of people participating in this assessment.

"Humph!" Lin Chen snorted coldly, and flew directly on the wind, rushing towards the man in black.

"Swish!"

He was very fast and appeared in front of the man in black robe in an instant.

"Um?"

The man in black didn't seem to expect that Lin Chen could be so fast.

He raised his hand and made a palm print.

"boom!"

The two collided, and Lin Chen was knocked back more than ten feet.

On the other hand, the man in black was as steady as a mountain and would not retreat even a step.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

"I was ordered to kill you." The man in black said in a hoarse voice, holding a bloody long knife and approaching step by step.

Lin Chen frowned and said, "Your Excellency and I have no enmity in the past and have no enmity in the recent past. Why do you want to deal with me?"

"Hmph, I don't need an explanation!" The man in black shouted coldly, his figure flashed, and he rushed over.

He was so fast that he seemed to be flying through the void.

"Buzz~"

The long knife fell, slashing out a streak of red light that shrouded Lin Chen.

"Get away!"

Lin Chen shouted loudly and charged forward with a dragon bone gun in hand.

The energy in his body kept rolling and poured into the dragon bone gun. It roared continuously and shook the surrounding areas.

clang!

The two exchanged moves and made a loud noise.

The red light exploded into pieces, and the aftermath swept away an ancient tree.

Lin Chen took advantage of the situation and flew out.

After he stabilized his body, his eyes became sharp and he said: "We don't offend the river. What are you going to do?"
