Chen Lin watched Master Wan Meng return to the camp, and then began to investigate the area around the camp.
Although he has a good relationship with Master Wan Meng, in a place like this, he can't just believe everything the other party says. He needs to verify it from multiple sources.
After all, people change, and no one can remain the same after hundreds of years.
Soon, Chen Lin saw a small figure moving carefully along the ground. The other party also noticed him and immediately stopped and became alert.
"what are you up to!"
Seeing Chen Lin approaching, the small figure's eyes immediately became sharp, and a purple ring appeared in his hand.
When Chen Lin saw the purple circle, he was stunned.
He was very familiar with this thing, he had one before, it was the Lingbao Purple Spirit Ring!
Anyone who can use spiritual treasures is undoubtedly a cultivator, and the Purple Spirit Ring is only a low-level spiritual treasure. The cultivation level of someone who can use such a spiritual treasure will not be very high.
Chen Lin stopped and sent out his spiritual sense to sense it.
As expected, the other party was only in the late Nascent Soul stage and was a female cultivator. It seemed that she had used some disguise or something like that. Her body proportions were not very coordinated and her skin was not natural.
He couldn't help but frown.
It is not easy for someone with such cultivation to survive here. The other party probably has not been here for long and knows limited information.
"Who are you and what do you want to do? If you come close to me again, I will be rude to you!"
The petite figure felt Chen Lin's spiritual gaze and her expression changed.
Anyone who can use divine thoughts must have reached the level of Spirit Transformation or above. If it is not in her favor, she will not be the opponent, so she slowly retreated while scolding in the hope of attracting other people's attention.
Chen Lin did not answer, but just pointed out!
Today's Soul-Destroying Finger has the blessing of finger intention, so even a Void Refinement cultivator cannot dodge it, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator. Before the petite woman could react, the light fell on her.
She suddenly felt her soul dissipating rapidly like melting ice and snow.
In panic, they responded quickly.
But what made her despair was that no matter what means she used, it was of no avail. Even the defensive secret treasure that she had obtained at a huge price did not have the slightest effect.
This made her realize that there was no escape today.
However, to her surprise, this energy came and went quickly, and just when she thought she was going to die, the energy disappeared without a trace.
Even so, her soul was damaged and she became extremely weak.
"What do you mean, Senior?"
The petite woman forced herself to steady herself and spoke in a deep voice.
Chen Lin glanced at the other party indifferently, then took out a soul-refining pill, wrapped it in his soul power and sent it to the other party.
"Don't panic, I have no ill intentions. This is a pill that can repair your soul. After refining it, your injuries will be healed."
There's nothing we can do about it.
This is more powerful than Chu Youluo and Tiancangjie. If you don't do this, you can't be sure whether the other party is parasitic. It will waste some pills, but you must ensure safety first.
The petite woman pursed her lips, took the pill in her hand, gritted her teeth and swallowed it.
Then he bowed to Chen Lin and said, "Thank you for the elixir!"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
Those who can survive here are not simple. He who knows the times is a hero. The other party has understood the true meaning of this sentence.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to ask you some questions, so just tell me the truth."
"Yes, please ask, senior. I will tell you everything I know."
The younger woman had absolutely no intention of resisting.
This is not a place where you can reason. If you kill her, not even her body will be left. Even if you encounter those people with evil means, even death is a luxury. So there is no other way but to obey.
Chen Lin nodded.
Then he asked, "What's your name and how long have you been here?"
The petite girl immediately replied: "My name is Wu Mengan, and I have been here for three years."
Chen Lin stroked his chin gently.
As he guessed, the other party had not been here for long.
But even after three years, with the resistance of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is difficult to resist the erosion of the aura of the Demon World. What's more, outside the golden camp, in addition to the aura of the Demon World, there is also Luo's aura. The farther away from the camp, the stronger the aura.
"How did you resist the erosion of the alien energy here for three years?"
Chen Lin asked again.
Wu Mengan's eyes flashed, and a look of surprise appeared.
But he immediately said, "Your Excellency, the purification authority can be exchanged in the Merit Hall. Every time the purifying light inside purifies, it can remove the alien energy in the body. It is effective for any practitioner."
Then, she explained, "Also, if you live in the Dawn Inn, you don't have to worry about being corroded by alien energy. The rooms there have the effect of isolating any energy, including demonic energy, but the price is very expensive."
Chen Lin looked suddenly enlightened.
No wonder Master Wan Meng could survive in this place for hundreds of years. This is the reason.
"Is it easy to obtain merits here? Can we trade with each other?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
He had discussed these with Master Wan Meng before, but they still needed to be confirmed.
Wu Mengan did not dare to hide it and immediately replied: "Merits are difficult to obtain. It is said that there were many one-star Luo monsters within the range of this giant pillar before. You can still hunt some. Even if the merits you exchange are not enough to leave this place, you can use them to exchange for the light of purification."
"but."
She continued, "As more and more people come here, the one-star monsters within the giant pillar are no longer enough. Two-star monsters are very difficult to hunt. A cultivator like me doesn't even have a chance to escape if we encounter one. As for three-star monsters, if we really encounter one, we can only wait for death."
When she said this, a look of sadness appeared on her face.
He sighed and said, "Even so, in order to obtain the Purifying Light, we have no choice but to take risks. Many people dare not resist the two-star and three-star Luo monsters, so they sneak out of the giant pillar range and go outside to hunt one-star Luo monsters. But it is even more dangerous over there, and whether they can come back alive depends on luck."
Then he calmed down and continued to answer: "Merits cannot be traded with each other, but the certificate for using the Light of Purification has no mark, so it can be traded. It is very popular in private, but not many people sell it. After all, merits are too difficult to obtain, and no one is willing to waste them."
Chen Lin nodded again.
This statement is basically consistent with what Master Wan Meng said, and the other party did not lie.
And judging from the other party's appearance, he should want to sneak out of the range of the giant pillar to hunt down the one-star monster.
The so-called Luo monsters are a general term for all monsters related to Luo. Apart from Luo monsters, there are basically no other monsters here.
As for natural treasures, they are not found within the giant pillar, but they exist outside the giant pillar, and they are all very precious mineral treasures.
But whether you can get it depends on whether you have the strength. Monsters outside the range of the giant pillar can be found everywhere.
After asking the basic questions, Chen Lin was about to let the other party go.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Do you know if there are people who come here with contracted creatures?"
He was hesitant to summon Xiaocao and the blind girl in because he was worried that he would break some rules. After all, this place was different from other scenes.
"Replying to the senior, this is a place of punishment, so only I can come in. No matter whether it is a spirit beast or other contracted creatures, they cannot come in together!"
The other party's answer made Chen Lin's heart sink.
However, when he thought that Xiaocao and the blind girl were different from ordinary contracted creatures after all, and might not be subject to this restriction, he did not ask any more questions.
Finally, he asked, "Why did you come here, and what are the conditions for leaving?"
Wu Mengan showed a trace of regret on his face, and said: "Replying to the senior, I violated the rules in a scene, and then was sent here. If you want to leave, you need to light up three stars!"
Was I sent here for breaking the rules
Chen Lin frowned. He had never experienced such a situation before.
However, when he explored the scene, he always used the old cultivators to explore the way first. Perhaps some of the old cultivators who had explored the way before were sent here.
Chen Lin was about to ask something else, but suddenly his expression changed. He looked at the other party and said, "Okay, I have finished asking my questions. I won't let you answer them in vain. I will give you something good!"
After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
When he came back, he had caught a huge rat-like monster in his hand. It had spikes all over its body and exuded an evil aura.
Chen Lin slapped the mouse on the head and threw it to the ground.
The mouse immediately started spinning on the ground, looking dizzy.
Even so, the evil aura emanating from it made Wu Mengan's face change drastically, and the muscles on his body continued to bulge outwards, as if something was about to grow out.
Chen Lin did not help. This rat was only a one-star evil beast. Since the other party dared to come out to hunt Luo monsters, it was impossible that it could not even deal with the one-star evil beast that was knocked unconscious by him.
Sure enough, as soon as the opponent's abnormality appeared, a layer of khaki light suddenly burst out from his body, covering his entire body.
As soon as the light appeared, the opponent immediately returned to normal, and then the purple spirit ring in his hand flashed and was put on the mouse's head, cutting off the mouse's head.
Chen Lin nodded secretly.
Anyone who can survive here has some special means.
The reason why these so-called Luo monsters are difficult to deal with is mainly because they possess the power of rules. The monsters themselves are not very strong, so as long as they can defend against the erosion of the power of rules, it will be much easier to deal with them.
"Thank you, senior!"
Wu Mengan was overjoyed and thanked him.
Unexpectedly, a one-star monster appeared here, but it seemed to be lurking underground and she couldn't find it at all.
But no matter what, the credit for her killing would belong to him. With the credit for killing this star monster, she could use the light of purification once and no longer have to rush to take risks outside the range of the giant pillar.
Chen Lin waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.
Next, he continued to explore around the golden camp. Not long after, he met another foreign man. He asked him the same question in the same way. After making sure that no one was lying, he began to move towards the periphery.
