After the peddler left, Chen Lin put the one-armed circling back into his bag, and then said to Niuniu, "Thank you Niuniu for helping me get justice, otherwise I would have suffered this loss. But that peddler can move around freely in the demon world, so he must be very powerful. He won't retaliate against you, right?"
Niuniu giggled and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a peddler."
After that, he stopped discussing this topic and said to the other friends: "Okay, you all go back first, I will play with you later when I have time!"
These strange kids obviously followed Niu Niu's lead. Upon hearing the words, they immediately dispersed and returned to their own huts.
Chen Lin looked at the back of the mushroom girl Xiaohong and couldn't help but think of the opponent's big grinder. The effect was really powerful. It would be great if he could get another one.
However, he did not take the initiative to ask for it. As I said before, the intimacy with Niu Niu must be maintained well, and he must not leave a bad impression on her because of his greed.
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for such a long time, do you miss Niuniu?"
The little girl put her hands in the pockets of her straw skirt, tapped the ground with her feet, and spoke sheepishly.
Chen Lin smiled, "Yes, I do. I think about you every day. Niuniu is so cute, how could I not think about her? But I don't have a medium, so I can't take the initiative to come and see you!"
Hearing what Chen Lin said, Niu Niu immediately became happy, and her two big eyes turned into crescents.
"Oh, I forgot to give you the medium item last time. The seal has loosened a bit recently, so I was able to sense your location through the guide you used last time and pull you in."
"seal?"
Chen Lin blurted out with a look of surprise.
What kind of existence is it that can seal a powerful guardian like Niu Niu, and what is the effect of the seal
Niuniu didn't answer, but changed the subject: "Uncle, some of your luck was intercepted by that traveling merchant. Although it's a small amount, it will still have an impact. Fortunately, I have secretly taken the luck ball back. Let's go back to the cabin quickly to prevent that guy from coming back to look for it!"
After saying that, he pulled Chen Lin and ran quickly towards the scarecrow house.
After entering the yard, Niu Niu held the doll that was swinging alone there, and then took out a small ball that was flashing with faint fluorescence from her pocket.
As soon as this small ball appeared, Chen Lin felt that something in his body seemed to be vibrating and responding to it.
The other party just let go of his hand, and the ball flew to the top of his head by itself, and then went into his forehead.
Chen Lin's body trembled.
An extremely comfortable feeling emerged, as if the missing part of myself had been replenished.
"This is?"
He looked at Niu Niu in surprise and doubt.
Niuniu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Traveling merchants are all bad guys who eat you without leaving any bones. You have to be careful when doing business with them. Even though they only intercept a small part of your luck, it has a huge impact on your natural source. When you become stronger and need to use the law of origin, you can only buy this part of your luck back from them. At that time, they will ask for a sky-high price."
So that's how it is!
Chen Lin suddenly realized. No wonder the traveling merchant only took away the luck that he gained after he was promoted to the Golden Core stage while he was in an immobile state, and he did it under the guise of fair trade. He said that the other party would not be so kind.
At this time, Niuniu spoke again: "But you don't have to worry. As a traveling merchant, the other party is indeed bound by the rules of the demon world and cannot attack you at will. Even if he meets you in the future and finds that the luck ball has been used back by you, he can only stare at you. But if the other party tempts you to trade with him, you must be more careful and don't be deceived by him again!"
Chen Lin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I understand."
Then, he looked at Niuniu with gratitude and said, "Niuniu, I'm sorry for worrying about your uncle's affairs. I don't know how I could have such a great honor to have a guardian like you so close to me. I'm so lucky!"
After thinking about it, he tactfully asked about the doubts in his mind.
There is no hatred without reason, and naturally there is no love without reason. He just accidentally broke into the other party's scarecrow hut and did not do anything beneficial to the other party. However, the other party treated him like a relative and helped him repeatedly. It was impossible to say that he was not worried at all.
Even Master Wan Meng had reminded him that a powerful being like the Guardian could not do things without a purpose. Since the true purpose would be revealed sooner or later, it would be better to find out the truth as soon as possible.
Niuniu was not surprised by Chen Lin's question and said seriously, "Uncle, don't worry. I will never do anything harmful to you. As for why I want to help you, you will understand in the future. And when you become stronger, I will also need you to help me with some things. Of course, it will be within your ability. I have plenty of time, so there is no rush."
The other party's words made Chen Lin feel relaxed.
He patted his chest and assured: "Niuniu is so good to me. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely do my best as long as I can do it!"
Anyway, I have already owed so many favors, and it is too late to regret it, so I might as well appear to be generous.
Niuniu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, you are so nice!"
Then she came skipping back to the hut, looking very happy, and presently returned with a straw amulet.
"Uncle, this is a talisman that Niuniu made especially for you. You must always carry it with you. The demonic aura on this thing has been sealed by me, so it won't normally affect you. If you want to use it as a medium to project in, use your magic power to stimulate it, and the pure demonic energy inside will be released."
Her body floated up gently, and she personally put the amulet around Chen Lin's neck.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "This Guardian Hut Village is usually closed due to some special reasons. Even if you have a medium, you cannot project in. It is only open at certain times, but the opening time is not fixed. So uncle, if you want to project in, you have to go with the flow, or I will actively summon you."
Chen Lin touched the amulet and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
But it's also a bit embarrassing.
Ever since he met the other person, he has always been taking benefits from the other person and has never given anything to the other person.
The reason for this is that he did not regard the other party as a human friend, but only as a creature from the demon world.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Niuniu's amulet is really beautiful. Uncle can also weave things, so why not weave one for Niuniu as a gift?"
The other party would definitely not be interested in the things on him, so he simply borrowed flowers to offer to others and made a small toy out of straw to give to the other party.
"Okay, okay, Niuniu will definitely like the things uncle knits!"
Niu Niu clapped her hands excitedly and quickly prepared straw for Chen Lin.
Chen Lin recalled the scenes in his previous life when he was a child in the countryside, when he often weaved grasshoppers with the children in the neighborhood.
Although my memory of the details is vague, I still remember the general steps, and the rest can be left to my talent.
He went over the steps again in his head, and then began to operate.
The straw was still as alive as ever, slippery and ruthless, but now his spiritual power had surged and he could suppress it easily.
Of course, there is no point in trying to suppress the camel's back. Failure is still failure.
I only wove a few strands of straw, and then it vanished into thin air with a puff.
He looked at Niu Niu somewhat awkwardly. Niu Niu pinched her skirt and said nothing, but her little face was tense and she seemed to be trying hard to hold back a smile.
At this time, he had to be thick-skinned. Chen Lin picked up the straw and started weaving for the second time.
Still no progress, it burst after I weaved a few.
He simply didn't even raise his head and started the third production directly, hoping to get to the fifth time as soon as possible so that he could use his innate ability to save face.
But what surprised him was that when the weaving was about to collapse, a familiar invisible force suddenly emerged, a light flashed, and a lifelike giant grasshopper appeared before his eyes!
Talented abilities have been improved!
Chen Lin reacted instantly and showed a look of ecstasy.
After absorbing the luck ball that was intercepted by the traveling merchant, his innate ability went from hitting the target once in five times to hitting the target once in three times!
"Uncle is awesome, this looks great!"
Niuniu's cheerful voice interrupted Chen Lin's thoughts. He immediately picked up the grasshopper, handed it to Niuniu and said, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, thank you uncle!"
Niu Niu happily took the grasshopper in her hand and couldn't let it go.
After playing for a while, she suddenly raised her head, frowned, and said in a low voice: "The time is almost up, uncle, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will send you away."
Chen Lin didn't know what the other party meant by "time's up", but he thought it should be related to the seal. The other party didn't want to talk about this topic, so he didn't ask any more.
After thinking for a while, he took out the willow jar and said, "Niuniu, help me see how to use this thing. It might be used to hold a frog from the demon world. Now that frog has come to my world and has become my enemy. I need a way to deal with it."
Niu Niu took the willow jar and looked at it. Then a strange light appeared on her hand and she wiped it on the willow jar.
The willow jar suddenly vibrated, and the frog mark on the bottom became brighter.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he felt there was hope.
But Niuniu shook her head at this time, and said helplessly: "My power has been sealed. Although I can forcibly activate this thing, I can't fully manifest its usage rules. I just vaguely sensed that the activation password should be a four-character phrase."
Four-character phrase
Chen Lin thought about it, but couldn't get the point.
However, this way, the scope is much smaller. If I go back and try it slowly, I may just get lucky.
Anyway, it's just a command trigger, it doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, he was about to thank Niu Niu again, but the other party's face changed, and then she waved at him. He felt his body tighten and disappeared on the spot.
