C8 Fortuitous encounter
As the cold wind blew, the dry leather bag on the ground shook slightly, giving off an indescribable feeling of horror. A young man next to him was looking at the scene in astonishment.
Lin Ye did not know what happened, she only knew that when she woke up, not only was her injuries healed, her body was also full of power. This was a kind of majestic feeling of power, and the feeling was that if he were to face those Corpse Monsters again, he would be able to tear them apart with a single fist.
This kind of confidence came out of nowhere, but it was also very real.
Lin Ye looked at the leather bag beneath his feet. There was no longer any trace of fear, and his heart was calm.
"Well, there's only one skin left, but it's proof." Lin Ye smiled and was about to cut off Ling Kui's shriveled head. He looked at his empty hand and, with a thought, a streak of cold light shot over from the distance and landed in his hand.
He looked at Mu Huang Jian up and down. Now, he understood that the reason why he could not summon Mu Huang Jian back then was because he was still not strong enough. Right now, his whole body was brimming with blood energy. That kind of distance should be easy to connect with.
Lin Ye easily cut off Ling Kui's head, then cut off a strip of cloth from his body and tied up his shriveled head before holding it in his hand.
After obtaining the first pellet, Lin Ye held onto Mu Huang Sword as he headed towards the thick fog, his body exuding an unprecedented confidence.
In a stone room on a barren mountain, the mysterious woman suddenly opened her eyes in disbelief. "Your choice?" Impossible, I don't agree... "He was just a mortal, so he must have been lucky. He was not qualified to have such a thing." After saying that, she flicked her finger and a streak of light flew out …
A roar came from the thick fog, followed by the sound of bones breaking. A grey shadow crashed into the jagged rocks, and fell powerlessly. If one looked carefully, they would see that it was a Corpse Monster. Half of its head was broken, and it had no life.
Lin Ye casually wiped his hands on his clothes, these Corpse Monsters were really troublesome, there were countless of them, all the way here he had killed countless of them. Although they were no longer a threat to him, but there were too many of them, he could not kill them. If this went on, no matter how strong his blood energy was, he would be exhausted to death.
Thinking about that, Lin Ye lowered his head and looked at the two Spirit Demons in his hands. Spirit Kui wasn't as much as the woman said. They were all lies. It took him at least two hours to find the second blood pool. He had used up a bit of his strength to cut off Ling Kui's head, and by now, it had been almost half a day since he found the blood pool.
There was no other way. Even if he couldn't find her, he had to find her. That woman gave him a time limit of three days. However, a day was about to pass.
Lin Ye chose a direction and sped up his pace. Now he wasn't worried about getting lost, because his field of vision had become so wide that it was no longer restricted by the fog. His speed was extremely fast, and the effect of the change in his physique was obvious. He quickly ran for a long time, but he still could not find any traces of the blood pool.
That woman shouldn't be lying to him.
Lin Ye thought for a while, but couldn't find any other reason, so he could only stop. He couldn't find a way to continue like this, how about he go back and ask the woman about the situation?
It was already night. There was only a dismal blood-red moon in the sky, and the cold wind grew increasingly stronger.
However, there was a hint of unusualness within that sharpness.
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. The strong smell of blood came from the place where they had escaped to. He suddenly thought of many things: Li Lin, Yu Yan, and Ke Yi. He wondered how they were doing, as well as Wang Jinlong's group.
Perhaps he could take advantage of the opportunity to look for the blood pool and find them.
After making up his mind, Lin Ye started to run again. However, this time, he was feeling a little anxious. If he could find his lost friend, that would be for the best.
There were a lot of Corpse Monsters lingering around the rocks. When they saw the fleeing Forest Boa, they shouted and chased after him, but their speed was obviously not fast enough to catch up with Lin Ye's footsteps, and they were quickly left far behind.
After running for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Ye saw a white van. Its body was full of holes from the impact, and the seats inside had been ripped out.
Lin Ye walked over to the car. There was no one inside, and there were no signs of a struggle. Lin Ye thought that it was impossible for them to come back here. He sighed and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he stopped, because he seemed to have heard some obscure breathing sound.
After the transformation, his hearing had become much sharper, but he couldn't be mistaken. There was someone nearby.
The sound came from the car, but it was not from the carriage. Lin Ye had already checked it out, and his gaze swept over the carriage from inside to outside. Finally, his gaze stopped at the car's chassis. The chassis was not very high, but it was more than enough to hide a person. He was curious, just which fellow was so smart?
Lin Ye squatted down and looked at the bottom of the car. There was a person lying there, and the corner of his mouth was covered in blood. He was facing Lin Xin with his dirty face. The tires nearby were covered in blood, and there were sticky chunks of meat beneath them.
This face is so familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before. "Lin Ye cursed silently. Then, the man spoke up with a shaky voice," "You, you are Lin Ye?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Ye slapped her thigh, "Aiyo, I thought it was someone. Oh, so it's Manager Wang. Are you trying to play that song? Hiding away from me?" Lin Ye could not help but mock him. This guy was quite lucky to still be alive despite such a harsh environment. She had to admit that he had some abilities that ordinary people did not have.
Wang Jinlong was submissive and didn't dare to reply. Lin Ye saw the situation and was too lazy to leave him.
"Lin, Lin Ye, Lin Ye, don't go! Take me with you!" Wang Jinlong suddenly came out from the bottom of the car as if he had seen his father. He held onto Lin Ye's thigh and refused to let go no matter what.
What the heck? The legendary hugging of thighs? Seeing his current state, Lin Ye did not have any plans to add insult to injury. After all, he could not even protect himself.
In theory, they were all acquaintances who had fallen into the alternate world together.
Actually, Lin Ye and Wang Jinlong did not have a deep grudge in the past, but it was mainly because of Xia Yu. After all, a day ago, both sides were still fighting to the death. Now, they had to save each other with smiles on their faces. Lin Ye thought that he could not do it.
Speaking of which, the reason they fell here was all because of this bastard. It was already giving him a lot of face if he didn't stab him to death.
"Supervisor Wang, you are a respectable person. How can you be so lowly?" I am a migrant worker. " Lin Ye kicked him away, and was about to leave with the Mu Huang Sword in his hand. Who knew that Wang Jinlong would come crawling over so quickly? Lin Ye took two steps back, "Don't come near me."
"Wang Jinlong was obedient and crawled on the ground, but his face, which was twisted by fear, had yet to recover completely. He whined," Lin Ye, I beg of you, please save me, take me with you, they are all dead, only I am left. You must save me no matter what! "
"Give me a reason to save you." Lin Ye was not a bad person, but she would definitely not show any sympathy. There was only hatred between them, even if they let it go, they would not become friends.
"Wang Jinlong quickly took out his wallet from his pants pocket and pulled out a bunch of red fish." "These are my rewards for you."
Lin Ye felt like he was about to collapse. It would have been fine if these things had been in the past, but in this world, even making toilet paper would not have mattered. He didn't think that this money would have any effect.
"How can that be enough?" Your life is too cheap. " Lin Ye smiled at him, wanting to tease him, but this action was similar to his act.
Wang Jinlong did not think that far. Seeing that Lin Ye did not agree, he clenched his teeth and handed his purse over to Lin Ye. "Okay, I'll give you these. If they're not enough, I'll make it up to you when I get back." As he said this, the muscles on Wang Jinlong's face twitched as if he was heartbroken.
"Ai, forget it, this fellow is truly a weirdo. However, I don't have the time to waste on him right now. Alright, keep your precious things. I can't stand it any longer. Goodbye."
Lin Ye started to leave, but Wang Jinlong stopped him with another sentence.
"I've met your friends. I can take you to them." Wang Jinlong cried out, "If you don't help me, I'm afraid I will die here."
Lin Ye's face sank. "Who do you think you saw?" Wang Jinlong was very cunning, this was probably just an excuse he came up with.
"When I saw Li Lin, Yu Yan, and Ke Yi being chased by a group of Corpse Monsters, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go over. One of them hid here." Wang Jinlong hurriedly explained as he saw Lin Ye was about to loosen up.
Wang Jinlong did not lie, it was just that the three of them were separated, but it seemed like they were in danger. Lin Ye grabbed Wang Jinlong by the collar and lifted him up, "Quick, tell me, where are they?"
Wang Jinlong was shocked. How did Lin Ye's strength suddenly become so great? His weight of over 100 pounds was like a little chick in his hands. He pointed in a direction while trembling, "There seems to be another giant chasing them."
The giant he spoke of should be Ling Kui. Lin Ye felt something was amiss. How could the three of them be the opponents of a top spiritual warrior? Thinking of this, he felt a little impatient. He gazed into the distance, looking at the misty space. Suddenly, he thought of something. He turned around and looked at Wang Jinlong. "How far can you see?"
The reason why Lin Ye could not see much was because of her body, but how could Wang Jinlong see that far? Just like what Xia Yu said, her vision was only a few feet away.
Wang Jinlong did not expect Lin Ye to ask this question. He was stunned for a while before he said, "Actually, I can see very far away." After saying that, he stood up, his triangular eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"So it's like this. Alright, you lead the way." Lin Ye smiled, this Wang Jinlong in front of him was very suspicious.
"Wang Jinlong crawled up from the ground." "You must save me when danger comes." Lin Ye shrugged, without any expression, he instructed him to lead the way.
Just like this, the two of them walked in the wilderness under the blood-red moon one after the other. Their two long and narrow shadows were out of place with the surrounding atmosphere. It was extremely strange.
Lin Ye kept staring at Wang Jinlong's back. A feeling of unease slowly spread through his heart, but he couldn't find the source.
Wang Jinlong said that his companions were all dead while he was the only one left alive. Lin Ye suddenly felt that this was not a small problem. Why did he have such good luck to escape this calamity?
Strictly speaking, there were too many unknown things about the new world they were in. Corpse demons, spirit warriors, mysterious magic women, the golden light that could turn people into mummies, all of these things meant one thing, this was a strange land, anything was possible. For the current Wang Jinlong, it was better to be careful.
Lin Ye held the sword tightly. He was almost certain that there was something wrong with Wang Jinlong. From the moment he said that he could see through the thick fog, he was already suspicious.
The two of them did not speak. Lin Ye was on guard, but Wang Jinlong could not know what was on his mind.
They walked like this for a long time. It was almost midnight, and the cold wind was howling. A few fallen leaves had appeared out of nowhere, leaving a trail of haze in the air as they flew into the distance.
"Hey, man, aren't you tired?" Lin Ye broke the stalemate. After walking for two hours, he was very curious about Wang Jinlong's physical fitness. He was tired, sleepy, hungry and tired. Yet, he was still brimming with energy and vitality.
Wang Jinlong did not stop. He smiled at Lin Ye and said, "I slept under the carriage and ate some food. I'm in good spirits, so there's no need to worry."
"Who the hell worries about you." I mean what did you eat? I haven't eaten anything all day, and I'm so hungry that my head is spinning and my stomach is growling. "Since you have food, can you give me some too?" Lin Ye rubbed his stomach. Actually, he didn't feel hungry at all. Xia Yu and the others had the guarantee of a mysterious woman, so they should have food.
