Ten days later.
Chen Lin was lying on a wooden bed, staring at the wooden ceiling above, in a daze.
The old man was a barefoot doctor. He boiled a bowl of black medicine with a pungent smell for him every day. Although it was hard to drink, the medicine was quite effective. After these days of treatment, he was able to do some simple activities.
He raised his right hand slightly and tried to cast the simplest fireball spell, but failed.
The mana still can't work.
He also discovered that the spiritual energy in this world was very thin, but was instead filled with an unknown energy.
From this he was certain that this place was no longer the original world.
It is because of the suppression of this unknown energy that his magic power is difficult to operate, his mental power and consciousness are restricted, and even the energy of his second soul is severely suppressed.
The only thing he could still use was his soul power because of the silver light particles, but his soul had not yet recovered and he was unable to release the Soul-Destroying Finger.
"Uncle Monster, take your medicine!"
As the childish voice sounded, the boy walked in with the head in one hand and a bowl of medicine in the other.
The old man had only met the boy twice these days. Usually, it was the boy who brought him medicine. And according to the boy, the house he lived in was the woodshed in the backyard, and he was placed here to prevent others from seeing him and causing panic.
Who made his head grow on his neck!
"Thank you, Xiao Wu. Your hair looks so beautiful today."
Chen Lin took the medicine bowl, praised the head in the other person's hand, then turned his head and slowly drank the medicine.
The boy's name was Xiao Wu, and he was the old man's apprentice. However, according to what he said, he did not want to learn the old man's medical skills, but wanted to learn magic.
The only magic the old man knew was the red light that came out of his mouth.
"Uncle Monster, my master said that he can only keep you for three more days at most, and then you have to leave."
Xiao Wu took back the medicine bowl and said something that made Chen Lin's heart sink.
"Why?"
His body is just barely able to move now, and he will definitely not be able to recover in three days. It may not be safe for him to go out at this time.
Moreover, he is not very familiar with this place yet. He doesn't know if he has been warned by the old man. Every time Xiao Wu delivers medicine, he comes and goes in a hurry and never communicates with him much.
Perhaps because of the message, Xiao Wu did not leave immediately this time. Instead, he replied to Chen Lin: "Because the big market will be held in three days, the government will send people to inspect in advance. My master is afraid that you will be discovered and convicted of harboring a monster."
Government office, big market
Chen Lin frowned. He didn't expect that there was a government office in this place.
In this case, it would be difficult to deal with this "monster" who is so different from ordinary people.
Once he goes out, he will definitely be arrested by the government. If even a barefoot doctor knows magic, the government will be even stronger. Not to mention that he is injured, even if he is not injured, it will be difficult for him to fight against the government in this place where all abilities are suppressed.
"Thank you for the reminder, Xiao Wu."
Chen Lin did not neglect the other party just because he was a child. After thanking him, he took out a small jade bottle from the side of the wooden bed and handed it to the other party, saying: "Uncle has a few more of these candy pills. Since you are leaving, I will give them all to you!"
Inside the jade bottle was the soul-nourishing pill that he had refined previously. This pill made one feel very comfortable after taking it. Yesterday, after he recovered the ability to open the storage bag, he gave one to the other party in order to test whether the other party had a normal soul.
He lied to the child and said it was a sugar pill, and the child had no defenses and ate it right away.
After his observation and questioning, he determined that the other party's soul was no different from that of a normal human being and could be nourished by the soul-nourishing pill. He also discovered that after the other party ate something, the food was kept in the head. It was not like he thought, where the head was temporarily pressed on the neck and then taken down after the food was finished.
This means that the brain is everything to the other party. As for the meaning of the body's existence and how it maintains life, he has not figured it out yet.
"Thank you, Uncle Monster!"
When Xiao Wu heard about the sugar pill, his eyes lit up immediately. He took it and ate one impatiently.
Then he showed an expression of enjoyment.
After eating, he carefully put away the jade bottle, hesitated for a moment, and said to Chen Lin mysteriously: "Uncle Monster, I heard that someone in the big market will secretly sell heads. You can buy one secretly and then hide your head. If you are careful, no one will find you!"
"Oh? Tell me in detail, how do I buy it?"
Chen Lin immediately became interested, it seemed that the 'sugar pill' was not given in vain.
Xiao Wu shook his head this time and said, "I don't know. I just heard it from my friends. But those who sell heads are bad people. Uncle, you have to be careful. And if the government catches you, you will be sent to jail. Don't tell them that I told you."
After saying this, he seemed to be frightened and didn't dare to stay any longer. He ran out quickly with the medicine bowl.
Chen Lin lay on the bed and thought for a while, then suddenly took out a box, tore off the sealing symbol on it, and took out the fishing rod.
He failed to resist the invasion of evil energy and was instantly pulled into the demon world.
Seeing the familiar woods, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After checking the body again, he found that the projection state was not unable to move due to physical injuries, but it was affected by the weakness of the soul and became somewhat weak.
But as long as the demon world can still be entered, the situation is not too bad.
This not only allows you to continue to obtain resources in the demon world, but also allows you to use demon world items as weapons to pull enemies into the demon world.
He also wanted to try one more thing.
Thinking of this, his mind moved and he immediately summoned Xiaocao.
As a contracted creature recognized by the Demon Realm, Xiaocao can be summoned to the Demon Realm at any time. However, he is a little nervous because he is crossing an interface and is not sure whether the other party is safe.
Immediately, a figure flashed and Xiaocao appeared beside him.
"Owner!"
When Xiaocao saw Chen Lin, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and his little face was full of excitement.
Chen Lin smiled and rubbed the other person's head, saying, "What's the situation over there? Have you left the Demon Suppression Temple?"
In fact, when he summoned the other party in, it didn't matter where the other party was, because the other party could no longer return to the distant place and could only follow him back to the interface where he was.
He asked this mainly to ask whether the other party had contacted Qin Lingyu and others.
“Left!”
Xiaocao nodded vigorously.
Then he said, "The Demon-Suppressing Temple collapsed, and even the Buddha statues were shattered. I didn't sense the master in the secret realm, so I flew back to my residence on my sword. I met the lady and the young lady, and wanted them to contact the master with the communication talisman, but they failed. Now the lady and the master's master are looking for the master everywhere. I was by the young lady's side, and was summoned in by you, the master."
After listening to Xiaocao's explanation, Chen Lin nodded. This was exactly the best result he wanted.
Ling'er knew the special nature of Xiaocao. If Xiaocao disappeared from his side, the other party would know that he had been summoned to the demon world by him. Then he would be sure that he was still alive and there would be no need to be too sad or look for him anymore.
Now I just hope that the pond node is connected to another world, no matter which interface it is, as long as I can escape the catastrophe of destruction.
As for whether we will meet again in the future, it all depends on fate.
Currently, the demon world scene that he can project into is inaccessible to others. It is very difficult to meet him in the demon world, let alone in reality. That is even more impossible.
"Let's go!"
Chen Lin did not go fishing and returned directly to reality.
The situation outside is unclear and we cannot leave for too long.
He opened his eyes in bed and saw Xiaocao's figure appear, and his heart finally settled down.
With Xiaocao's fighting power, his situation will be much better.
"Master, what's wrong with you!"
Seeing the unfamiliar environment, Xiao Cao was stunned for a moment, then she saw Chen Lin lying on the bed with a sick look on his face, and she asked hurriedly.
"It's fine. I just encountered some problems while crossing the space node, which caused me to be seriously injured. But I have recovered a little and my life is not in danger."
After comforting the other party, he briefly explained the situation here, and then asked: "Try it first, will the energy in your body be suppressed here?"
Xiaocao was not using magic power, mental power, or soul power, so he was very much looking forward to it.
Upon hearing the order, Xiao Cao immediately released a sword light, then shook his head and said, "No, it can be used normally, and there is no sign of being suppressed."
"good!"
Chen Lin showed his delight.
After a pause, he said, "The situation here is unclear. So, listen to me..."
After saying that, Chen Lin took out a rope from his storage bag and took out the corpse of an ape-like monster. He asked Xiaocao to cut off the monster's head, disguise it, and tie it with a rope to make a head that could be lifted.
He didn't know if the people here had any special methods to distinguish the authenticity, so he could only give it a try. At least if he watched from a distance, he could fool them for a while.
Then Chen Lin took out a large cloak and covered Xiaocao's head and body.
After studying it carefully and confirming that it was interesting, he said, "Go ahead. Put your own safety first. Don't try to be brave."
"Yes, Master, wait for my good news!"
Xiaocao agreed and jumped out of the back window.
Chen Lin could do nothing but look out the window with his eyes open. Moreover, there was no guarantee of safety here, and he did not dare to enter the demon world.
The wait is anxious.
Chen Lin once again felt the inadequacy of his own methods. When faced with special situations, he had too few cards to use.
There used to be a talisman for Niu Niu, but it has been used up now.
Not only that, now even the Black Tortoise Shield was lost somewhere, and the Frost Moon Sword also slipped out of his hand when he rushed into the space crack. No one knew whether it fell into this world or was swept to other interfaces by the space turbulence.
But it is certain that it was not picked up by Xiao Wu and his master, so he asked Xiao Cao to go to the forest to look for it and check the specific situation of the place.
