Outside the node.
The young man surnamed Han and the young demon woman stood side by side, and looked at the old man in black robe who had returned.
"Didn't you two leave? Why are you back?"
The young man glanced at the old man in black robe, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.
"hehe."
The old man laughed dryly and said, "The spatial fluctuations here are so obvious. The person who refined the spiritual treasure probably didn't go far and hid in the void. Aren't you two also guarding here the whole time?"
Hearing what the other party said, the young man frowned and sneered, "I've always heard that the monks of the Holy Temple are very cunning. Today I've seen it. A dignified Yuanying monk can still play such a trick. It really opened my eyes."
"You dare to disrespect the temple and seek death!"
Before the old man in black robe could say anything, the man in golden robe beside him started to scold and looked at the young man surnamed Han with unfriendly eyes.
The young man surnamed Han's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the other party with contempt and said, "How dare you speak so arrogantly? Today, I will see what methods you, the shady people in the Temple, have!"
Then, his aura began to rise steadily, as if he was about to make a move.
The old man in black robe looked gloomy. He shook his hand and a black ring appeared in his hand.
The man in the golden robe and the young demon woman also showed their treasures at the same time, ready to fight.
For a moment, the situation was tense and the air was filled with the terrifying pressure erupting from the Nascent Soul cultivators.
At this moment, the space not far away suddenly trembled, and then ripples like water waves appeared.
The four of them were all Nascent Soul cultivators. They immediately noticed something unusual and turned their eyes in that direction.
Then they all showed surprise.
"You two, let's get rid of the person who refined the spiritual treasure first, and then fight for the ownership of the spiritual treasure with our own abilities. Otherwise, it would be a joke if we fight to the death here and let the person who refined the spiritual treasure get away."
The old man in black robe glanced at the young man and spoke.
The young man nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you said. With the strength of the four of us, we can fight even that old monster who has been hiding from the world. I hope you two won't hold back."
Having said that, the four of them had prepared their strongest means of escape. If any famous late Nascent Soul master came out, they would run away immediately.
Soon, a figure emerged from the ripples, emitting a strange aura.
"No, it's a puppet!"
Just as the old man in black robe was about to make a move, he saw the figure's face clearly and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Fat Tiger is the first foundation-building puppet refined by Chen Lin. Its appearance can be said to be horrible, and the difference can be seen without careful observation.
The puppet came out first, so the master must be behind it. The four people did not rush to take action, but surrounded the puppet in the middle and waited for the master behind to come out.
They didn't make a move, but Fat Tiger, who had been completely assimilated by the aura of the demon world, didn't stop. His eyes rolled, and suddenly he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of the man in golden robe, opened his bloody mouth and bit him on the head!
The original Fat Tiger didn't have such ability, but after becoming a creature from the demon world, he became much stronger.
However, the man in the golden robe was a Nascent Soul powerhouse after all, and was caught off guard. However, he managed to move his body sideways in a hurry and avoided the fatal blow.
Even so, I was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately cast a blood-colored talisman, which formed a ball of blood light that wrapped himself. He raised his hand, and a huge golden axe appeared in his hand, and he chopped it down at Fat Tiger.
The attack was so powerful that even the surrounding space was shaken. It carried a faint spiritual charm and hit Fat Tiger's body with incredible precision.
Fat Tiger was split into two in an instant!
However, what they did not expect was that the two halves of Fat Tiger's body turned into black smoke again and disappeared on the spot.
Then the two merged into one again, appeared beside the young demon woman, opened its big mouth and bit her.
The young woman was already prepared and did not panic. She retreated a long distance away, then transformed a huge cold claw into hers and grabbed him fiercely.
"Don't touch it, this thing has the aura of the devil, it's a creature from the devil!"
The young man surnamed Han suddenly spoke, causing the attack of the young demon woman to pause. Fat Tiger's body turned into black smoke again. The next moment, he appeared behind the man in golden robe and bit him.
The man in the golden robe was so angry that he felt that the fat puppet was treating him as a weakling and was specifically targeting him.
In anger, he did not dodge, but his whole body was shining with golden light, and the giant axe in his hand, a pseudo-spiritual treasure, burst into amazing light, and turned into a giant object as big as a door panel, and rushed forward to destroy the puppet completely!
"Quack!"
At this time, the inconspicuous frog jumped out from the space ripples and croaked.
With just this sound, the souls of the four Nascent Soul powerhouses condensed at the same time, and they lost control of their bodies.
The other three people fell to the ground with pale faces, but the man in the golden robe lost his life. Having lost control of his body, he watched his head being bitten off by Fat Tiger's big mouth with a crunching sound.
A chubby mini baby escaped from the shattered head of the man in golden robe, with panic all over its face and a mini golden sword in its hand.
This is his Nascent Soul. After escaping, it immediately flashed and disappeared into the void. He actually used the teleportation technique directly!
But the next moment, the frog croaking sound was heard again, and the Nascent Soul suddenly fell out from the void.
The body of the frog floating at the node began to swell, its mouth opened, and the tongue inside shot out, wrapping around the Nascent Soul like it was catching a bug, pulling it back into its mouth, chewing it for a while, and then swallowing it.
A Nascent Soul cultivator, a powerful figure who roamed the entire continent and could suppress an entire immortal city, died just like that, and even his Nascent Soul couldn't escape!
This scene made the three Nascent Soul cultivators who fell to the ground feel scared to death. They no longer cared about any spiritual treasures and used their trump cards to remove the restrictions on their bodies and fled frantically into the distance.
The frog didn't chase anyone, but burped.
Then it looked at Fat Tiger and jumped sideways to the top of Fat Tiger's head.
“Quack!”
The frog croaked twice, and a faint light came out of its mouth and hit Fat Tiger's forehead. Fat Tiger instantly lost his ability to control himself, and his eyes became dazed.
"Quack!"
The frog stood on Fat Tiger's head, puffed out his chest and acted like a general. He stretched out one of his front paws and pointed forward, and Fat Tiger slowly flew forward.
The devil world.
Chen Lin came to the well and stopped to observe.
It is just a normal water well. A well platform is built with bluestone around the well mouth. There is a forked wooden stake on each side, and a windlass made of wood is placed on top.
A rope dropped vertically from the windlass into the well.
Such wells are very common in mortal settlements in the real world, and are likely to be projections. Chen Lin estimated that the frog came out of this well, because it is the only water source within a radius of several miles.
After hesitating for a moment, he moved closer to the well and looked down along the mouth of the well.
There is water in it.
The rope hung all the way down to below the water surface. I wondered if there was a willow pot for drawing water tied to it.
Now Chen Lin didn't dare to leave the node immediately, for fear of meeting his puppet and the frog. He could still try to communicate with the puppet using the previous mental imprint, but he had no means to deal with the frog.
The creatures from the demon world will become very powerful after entering the real world, so he has to try to find information about the frog from this well. It would be best if he could determine the rules and restrictions of this frog, or find something to deal with it.
I walked around the well platform several times but didn't see anything unusual.
Chen Lin thought about it, and took out a pair of spiritual weapon-level gloves from the storage bag, but not for himself. Instead, he took out a foundation-building puppet, placed the fairy stone on the puppet, and then put the gloves on the puppet's hands.
Then he directed the puppet to turn the windlass and start pumping water.
When the puppet grabbed the windlass handle, Chen Lin stepped back far away and waited until the puppet cranked up the willow jar and made sure there was no change before approaching again.
The willow pot was filled with water, which was very clear.
But when he looked at the bottom of the willow jar through the water, he was surprised.
There is a pattern at the bottom, and if you look closely, it is in the shape of a frog!
There is no doubt now that the frog ran out of this well, and it had been lying in this willow jar before, leaving marks.
Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then stepped back again, commanding the puppet to carefully pour the water in the willow jar back into the well, and then tried to untie the well rope tied to it.
The scenes in the demon world have their own unique rules, with elements of mutual promotion and mutual restraint. Among the facilities in the entire well, if there is any item that may have a controlling effect on the frog, it should be this willow jar.
Regardless of whether it works or not, all he can do now is to give it a try.
The Immortal Stones will soon be used up, and he must leave the Demon Realm before the stones are exhausted. No matter what the situation is outside, he has no choice.
To Chen Lin's surprise, the rope was easily untied, and there was no need to follow certain rules as he had imagined.
This made him frown.
According to his previous experience of obtaining items from the demon world, only those items obtained by cracking the rules can be taken out, while ordinary items that are readily available cannot be taken out.
The fact that this willow jar was obtained so easily shows that it is not a treasure.
After thinking about it, he ordered the puppet to untie the rope tied to one end of the windlass. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he simply dismantled the windlass and the wooden stakes on both sides.
But nothing unusual happened.
Finally, he looked at the water in the well, asked the puppet to tie the well rope to the willow jar again, put it in and draw up a bucket of water, but there was still nothing special.
This seems to be just an ordinary well.
If it weren't for the frog mark on the bottom of the willow jar, he would have doubted whether the frog had actually run away from here.
