I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

"Fellow Daoist Chen went to explore the outside of the city. Did you find anything?"

After Lu Xiao explained, he asked about the situation outside the city.

Chen Lin didn't hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "There is a thick black fog outside. I don't know how big it is, and there are weird nightmare creatures in the black fog, so it is impossible to explore deeply."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Chen Lin's description, Lu Xiao's face suddenly turned ugly.

In such an environment, the difficulty of searching for the Red Lotus Master will increase sharply. With the five of them, unless they are lucky enough to directly encounter the Red Lotus Master, it will be impossible to search all places.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiao asked again: "What is the strength of the strange creature that Fellow Daoist Chen mentioned?"

"Very strong."

Chen Lin knew what the other party wanted to ask, and continued: "If the Red Lotus Master is not so powerful, he should not be able to survive in the black mist. We can just focus our energy on the city."

"oh?"

Lu Xiao glanced at Chen Lin, nodded slightly and said, "If this is the case, it will be much easier."

Then he asked again: "Did Fellow Daoist Chen fight with that weird creature? What kind of creature is it? Does it have any special abilities?"

"The black shadow was too fast and I didn't see it clearly."

Chen Lin answered casually.

He really didn't see clearly. The speed of the black shadow was too fast. He only saw what seemed to be a human-shaped outline. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the other parts, which were turned into nothingness by the power of innate thunder.

He talked about the light group again.

Then he said: "I think we need to communicate with the recruiter He Ji again. These light groups are very much like space gates. There are more than one. If true, we need to confirm whether her blockade order can lock these space gates. , but don’t let us wander around here, Master Honglian has already passed through the space door and gone elsewhere.”

"Space gate?"

Lu Xiao made a sound in surprise.

Then he said in a deep voice: "But that He Ji has left and is not in the previous room.

We all ignored one thing before and forgot to ask whether the Red Lotus Master was a real person or a creature from the nightmare world. Wu Yunzi went to find him to confirm, but found that the small courtyard was empty. "

"What!"

Si Qi on the side was shocked and angry when he heard this.

The originally abstract face became distorted, and he suppressed his anger and said: "That bull demon is really hateful. He forced us to come here, but he ran away. He must be worried that we can't kill the Red Lotus Master, but let him Master Honglian came to kill me, so he hid!"

Chen Lin's expression also changed.

This scenario is very possible, and there is even a worse possibility.

If He Ji dare not show up, it means that the other party cannot defeat the Red Lotus Master. Therefore, it is very likely that the other party is not chasing the Red Lotus Master, but the Red Lotus Master is chasing the other party. The other party is desperate. He does not hesitate to use conscription orders and meritorious deeds to protect himself.

Ten thousand meritorious deeds is a huge amount of wealth. Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to use it to summon a group of ordinary servants.

"Are you sure that the other party really left?"

Chen Lin looked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. Hei Jiutian and Wu Yunzi went to look for him, but I don't think there is much hope."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures came over quickly.

It was Hei Jiutian and Wu Yunzi.

"You two are back too? That's just in time. Let's discuss our next actions. The cow must have escaped."

Hei Jiutian glanced at Chen Lin and Si Qi, and without even asking about the situation outside the city, he spoke with an ugly expression.

Wu Yunzi's face also turned dark.

Everyone is a person who has lived for more than hundreds of years, so this situation can be guessed at a glance.

And if they really guessed it, it would not be that they were looking for Master Honglian, but how to resist Master Honglian's attack.

"Everyone, please tell me, how should we deal with it now? Should we continue the search, or should we gather together and wait for the Red Lotus Master to show up on his own initiative?"

After everyone calmed down, Lu Xiao spoke.

But few people spoke.

The current situation is a dilemma.

If you don't continue searching, a lot of time will be wasted if you make a wrong guess. The longer you delay, the slimmer your hope of finding the person.

If it can be searched, it is bound to be done separately.

Not to mention the outside of the city, it was just the inner city and the outer city. The area was also extremely wide, with countless shops and houses. It would be impossible to search them all in three days without separate operations.

In this way, there is a danger of being defeated individually.

If it was true, as they suspected, that the cow had recruited them in order to protect itself, then Master Red Lotus's strength must be very terrifying, and none of them had the strength to face it alone.

That cow can produce ten thousand meritorious deeds, so it cannot be weak. The other party is no match for Master Red Lotus, let alone them.

Even if there is no fatal recruitment mission, it still refers to the five of them joining forces. After all, this is a team mission.

At this time, Chen Lin suddenly said to Hei Jiutian: "I would like to ask, what is Brother Hei's current cultivation level?"

Hei Jiutian glanced at Chen Lin when he heard this.

"What, Brother Chen, do you want to go into the ring?"

Chen Lin nodded: "Brother Hei has a keen eye. Since it is difficult to decide on the next plan for the time being, it is better to wait and take the opportunity to complete the task of leaving first."

Hei Jiutian pondered for a moment and said: "I am a demon cultivator, and now I am a mid-level half-demon, which is equivalent to the peak of virtual refining for you immortal cultivators. However, I have a nightmare treasure, which is quite powerful. I only relied on the nightmare treasure to defend the ring three times. If it’s successful, you can measure it yourself.”

Then he added: "For the sake of the nightmare coins you paid before, I would like to remind you that as long as you take the stage, you must accept at least three challenges, and the challengers will be stronger each time."

Chen Lin was surprised when he heard this: "There is no one around the ring. How can a challenger appear after taking the stage?"

"hehe."

Hei Jiutian smiled lightly and said: "As long as you go up, the challenger will naturally appear. If the challenge is successful, the other party will be able to gain permission to leave this city, and you will take the other person's identity and become a nightmare creature here."

This rule made several people, including Chen Lin, change their expressions.

Although cultivators all want to live forever, they do not lack the courage to face death. However, if they become unconscious nightmare creatures, they are not willing to accept it.

Seeing this, Hei Jiutian smiled again and said: "Brother Chen, you'd better pray before going on stage that there won't be any challengers from the brothel, otherwise if you fail, your innocence will be at stake!"

Chen Lin ignored the other party's teasing, but became curious about the other party's identity.

This person's demeanor did not look like someone in trouble. He was very relaxed. He suspected that the other party had a way to avoid the punishment of the mission.

But this is a secret, and it is impossible for the other party to tell it.

Chen Lin did not ask any more questions, nor did he go directly to the stage. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the stone tablet.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, he can take risks based on the words of the other party, and this Black Nine Heavens God is mysterious, it is better to wait and see.

It's best if someone comes on stage first and lets him observe.

He thinks so, and so do others.

Lu Xiao and others thought that Chen Lin would just defend the ring after asking such detailed questions. Unexpectedly, there was no movement after asking, and they couldn't help but feel speechless for a while.

But no one wanted to be the first, so they just stood there and waited.

Only Si Qi could not hold his breath, looking at this and that, hesitating to speak.

Chen Lin watched with cold eyes, muttering secretly in his heart.

It seems that except Si Qi, the other three people have backup plans and are not too impatient.

It makes sense when you think about it.

In a high-level scene like the Shangyuan Realm, you can also obtain the status of tolerance. You are definitely not an ordinary explorer of the nightmare world. You must have some wealth.

Others are not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry either. It depends on who can outlast the other.

Chen Lin simply walked around the ring, then came to the back of the stone tablet and continued to watch.

At this time, he discovered that there was writing on the back of the stone tablet.

The densely packed small characters carry an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The scene in Shangyuan Domain also had no text barriers. He read the content from top to bottom, showing a look of surprise.
