On a certain day two months later, in a temporary cave outside the city, Han Li, the patriarch of the Long family, and Qianqiu Shengnv gathered together again.
They looked at the last man with shaggy hair who barely arrived before the agreed time limit, with different expressions.
The fit monk of the Lin family now has gray hair and withered skin. He should have looked like a middle-aged man in his prime, but now he has completely aged, like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
What's more deadly is that one eyeball of the man with disheveled hair disappeared.
Looking at the hollowness in the eye sockets, it seems that the entire eyeball was forcibly gouged out.
And the aura of this Lin family's fit monk is less than one-third of what it was in its heyday compared to before, and it still faintly gives people a very decayed and strange feeling.
"Friend Daoist Lin, why did you become like this!" After a group of people were shocked, the ancestor of the Lin family finally spoke heavily.
"I'm ashamed to say that I encountered a group of dementors in the wasteland, and one of them accidentally sucked most of their energy. Fortunately, I blew up several treasures I carried with me, so I managed to escape." The man from the Lin family coughed a few times , said with a bitter face, his voice also became extremely hoarse, extremely unpleasant.
"Soul-destroying beast? This beast's level is not too high, how could it force Brother Lin into such a state!" Qianqiu Saintess asked in surprise.
"If it's an ordinary dementor beast, why would Lin be afraid. But if it's a mutated combined-level dementor beast, it's another matter." The man from the Lin family twitched his eyes before slowly replying. .
"Mutated Dementor Beast!" Hearing these words, the group of people couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
"That's right, this beast was hidden in the herd at the beginning, and its disguise was the same as that of ordinary soul-destroying beasts, so I was caught off guard and was attacked by it. Otherwise, no matter how bad Lin was, he wouldn't have ended up like this Yes." The man of the Lin family recalled the situation that day, and his face became more and more ugly.
"Friend Daoist Lin is really unfortunate to encounter this calamity. But I don't know what's planned next?" The ancestor of the Long family's face changed for a while, and then he asked with a concentrated expression.
"I have lost too much energy now, and my mana is less than two or three tenths of what it was before. It is not realistic to enter the Phantom Howling Desert. I have to return to the spirit world to retreat for hundreds of years before I can regain my cultivation. I don’t intend to plan on those two heaven and earth spirits anymore. Rest here for a while, then cast spells to stimulate potential and go back to the spirit world.” The man with hair flickered for a while, and then said unwillingly.
"Alright, with Fellow Daoist Lin's current state, there is a possibility of perishing if you continue to take risks. Let's do this. I'll wait for a few people to stay here for another month, let Fellow Daoist recuperate, and then carry out the following plan." Long Family Patriarch There was no unexpected expression, and it seemed that he had expected it.
"That's the only way to go. Our Spirit Race has no objection to this, so fellow Daoist Lin, feel free to heal your wounds first." The Qianqiu Saintess was silent for a while, and then nodded.
On the contrary, the Taoist priest surnamed Hui and the girl in feather clothes couldn't help but glanced at each other, revealing a faint sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
After all, among the human monks present, one of them was already injured, and the other was far inferior to Han Li and the ancestor of the Long family. Maybe the one who was forced to quit next time would be one of the two.
However, the two are also a combined existence that has been practiced for many years, and this kind of thought only flashed by and then returned to normal.
After hearing this, Han Li's expression moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said to the hairless man, "I have a elixir in my hand, which may be of some benefit to fellow daoist at this time, you might as well take it, fellow daoist Lin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his sleeve at the hairy man, and suddenly a white jade bottle several inches high flew out of it.
The fit cultivator of the Lin family was startled when he heard the words, subconsciously raised his hand to take the vial, and looked at Han Li with puzzled eyes.
No wonder!
Although Han Li walked with them for a period of time, the two didn't have much contact, let alone a friendship. Now that he was suddenly given a bottle of elixir, this naturally made the man full of surprise.
The monk of the Lin family pondered for a while, then opened the cap of the small bottle in his hand, and the strong fragrance of the medicine filled the whole room.
Everyone can't help but feel refreshed when they hear it!
The man with disheveled hair hurriedly put the mouth of the bottle up his nose and took a few sniffs. Immediately a look of joy appeared on his face, and he turned the vial over and poured it into the palm of his hand.
As a result, a pill with emerald green spirit patterns all over the surface rolled out of it and landed firmly in the palm of the hand.
"Quenjing Pill, this is Quenjing Pill!" When the man with shaved hair saw the appearance of the pill, he didn't have any hesitation in his heart, and immediately yelled out, his face full of ecstasy.
This elixir is not only extremely rare, but most importantly, it happens to be very useful for his current situation, enough to make up for the half of his lost energy, so that he no longer has to worry about his injuries. danger.
The Patriarch of the Long family, Qianqiu Saintess and others couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw this Quenjing Pill.
This kind of elixir is also rare for late-stage monsters like them! If it weren't for the current situation, both of them might have other thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist Han, this elixir is indeed very useful to Mr. Lin. But you will not be rewarded for nothing. Let me just tell you what brother Han's intention is." Although the man with hair was very excited, he soon After that, he calmed down, and with a movement of his lips, he came over to Han Li via sound transmission.
The corners of Han Li's mouth curled up slightly, and after a chuckle, the same voice came over: "Since Fellow Daoist Lin said so, Han will just say it straight. I really have something to ask Brother Lin, I don't know Would you like to do me a favor?"
"Brother Han has taken out the Quenjing Pill, will you allow me to refuse? Just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse." road.
"Brother Lin gritted his teeth like that without saying anything. What I asked Fellow Daoist to do was just a small favor. I recently rescued a little girl from our human race in the city. This little girl has some connections with me, and I I hope you can help me take her with me when I return to the spirit world, and take care of her for a while before I return to the spirit world to lead people. After all, the journey below is too dangerous, and it is impossible for me to take the little girl with me. The girl walked together all the way. Fellow Daoists should be able to do this easily." Han Li said calmly through voice transmission.
"It's just that simple. If that's the case, there's no problem. Lin can assure you that as long as I can return to the spirit world safely, the person entrusted by Brother Han will also be safe." The man with hair was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate He readily agreed.
"Okay, then Han can rest assured." Han Li nodded lightly, and immediately said nothing more.
But the scruples in the man's heart were gone, he just hesitated, and immediately threw the pill in his hand into his mouth, and swallowed it.
Based on his current situation, the sooner he takes this Quenjing Pill, the less the possibility of a big drop in his cultivation base, so naturally he doesn't want to delay for a moment.
The ancestors of the Long family and others on the side had already seen that the two were discussing something through sound transmission, but everyone was sensible and didn't disturb anything.
They knew very well in their hearts that Han Li would not give out such a precious pill for nothing, and he must have asked for something from the monks of the Lin family.
But this matter is a matter between the two, so it is not easy for others to inquire about it.
The matter of the man with disheveled hair has been settled, so it is natural to discuss the matter of the Eight-legged Demon Lizard.
The patriarch of the Long family looked calm, and roughly described his contact with the Zhao family during this period of time.
After hearing this, Qianqiu Saintess, Yuyi Girl and others couldn't help frowning.
"So, the Zhao family is really a lion, and an eight-legged demon lizard dares to quote such an outrageous price. Wannian Zixuezhi and Ice Crystal Heart are materials that are hard to find in the world. How dare they Propose it to Brother Long? I think the Zhao family might not have any sincerity in the exchange!" Qianqiu Saintess Yurong suddenly became as cold as ice.
"I don't think the Zhao family has any intention of making a deal!" Han Li interjected lightly.
"Oh, what does Brother Han mean?" The girl in feather clothes changed her expression.
Han Li laughed but said nothing.
"I'm afraid the Zhao family not only didn't think about giving the eight-legged demon lizard to the old man, but wanted to take advantage of this wealth. After all, my previous quotation was enough to attract the hearts of the two old ghosts of the Zhao family." This time, Long The ancestor of the family took the initiative to interface, but with a sneer on his face.
"Looks like Brother Long has already made up his mind." Qianqiu Saintess chuckled lightly upon hearing this.
"That's right. Since the Zhao family doesn't want to exchange the eight-legged demon lizard, the other three probably won't trade either, so I decided to use the plan. When the two demons of the Zhao family were plotting against the old man, I lured them away, and others sneaked into the Zhao family. , Steal the Eight-legged Demon Lizard directly, and then enter the Phantom Howling Desert overnight." The ancestor of the Long family said with a hint of evil spirit on his face.
"Wonderful. If the Zhao family doesn't have a demon king in charge, no one else can stop us. But brother Long, have you found the place where the Zhao family raises eight-legged demon lizards?" the girl in feather clothes said happily.
"Hey, Long has been busy in the city these days, so he has already confirmed it. The Zhao family placed the eight-legged demon lizard in two places, one of which is the Zhao family's forbidden area, which is heavily restricted by the magic circle. Even if there is no demon king sitting in town, it is not easy to start. Another place is the place where the demon lizards are temporarily placed. I found out that a few demon lizards will return from outside the Zhao family in half a month, and they will stay there temporarily according to the usual practice It's been a few days. And this is a good opportunity for us to make a move. Brother Han already has two monster lizards. We just need to capture these monster lizards, which should be enough. But there is one thing, fellow daoists, please pay attention.
You can do it, but try not to open up the world, and don't expose your cultivation and true colors. Otherwise, if I attract the attention of other strong demons in the nearby area, I will be in trouble later. After all, we need to cross the entire Phantom Howling Desert, but those strong demons can use teleportation arrays in other places to intercept us directly at the other end of the Phantom Howling Desert. "The patriarch of the Long family preached schemingly.
