There were quite a few things in the woman's leather bag, but most of them were small gadgets and some shiny dimes. The most peculiar thing was a square object.
Chen Lin used his spiritual sense to investigate and found nothing unusual, so he used his magic power to cover his palm and picked up the thing.
"Master, this thing seems to be able to rotate."
Xiao Cao also came forward curiously to watch, and then spoke.
Chen Lin nodded.
There is a cross-shaped gap on each side of this object, dividing a plane into four parts. It feels a bit like a second-order Rubik's Cube from the previous life.
After looking at it carefully again, I found that there were some lines on each small square. It looked like some kind of pattern, but I couldn't see it clearly.
He hesitated for a moment and took out a foundation-building puppet.
Bring the grass outside the cave, and then control the puppet to try to turn it.
But it didn't work.
After changing directions several times, the square object remained motionless.
Chen Lin frowned and went back into the cave, took the block back, and explored it again using various methods.
Still nothing.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
The power of the foundation-building puppet is already very great, and it can even break a magic machine, which shows that this thing does not rely on brute force to turn.
But judging from the shape, this thing can definitely rotate, but it should require some special method, or it should require the use of the abnormal energy here. He cannot use this energy, so there is no way to activate it.
From the soul search, we learned that the boss was a well-known robber, and this item was obtained by him during the robbery. After obtaining it, he regarded it as a treasure and had been studying it secretly.
However, the subordinate whose soul he searched was of low status, nor was he the boss's confidant, so he didn't know what the treasure was used for.
Just yesterday, the treasure was suddenly stolen by two mysterious men. The boss chased them all the way, and thus mistook him and Xiaocao for thieves, and lost his life as a result.
Chen Lin stroked his chin and thought.
The real treasure thief must be the owner of this leather bag. While he was injured by Xiaocao's sword light, he also took the leather bag down.
The two figures were both women and had normal heads, which made him a little confused.
According to the information obtained from soul searching and the results of Xiaocao's investigation, everyone here has their head lifted up and they have been born like this, so they should all be the same. Why do there exist "aliens"
Could it be that the two women were also outsiders like him
Or are the species in this world different, and the two women are from different races
Chen Lin felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
Crossing interfaces is a rare thing in itself, and it is impossible to just happen to encounter one by chance. And the other party uses this kind of leather bag as a storage item, which does not seem like someone from the outside world.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin couldn't figure it out, so he put his thoughts aside.
If this treasure is very important, the two women will definitely not give up. Even if he doesn't go looking for them, they will come to him on their own initiative.
Now he still has to continue to inquire about the information of this interface and try to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will not be able to practice in such an environment and his cultivation will remain stagnant.
at night.
While Chen Lin swallowed the pills to continue healing his wounds, he held the cube treasure in his hand and examined the patterns on it.
Gradually, he really discovered some clues.
This thing is really like a Rubik's Cube. The patterns on each block are different, but if you compare them, you will find that the cross-section of the patterns on each block can match the cross-section of another block.
The method of use is already very clear, you just need to rotate this object to connect all the lines together, and this will activate it.
As for what will happen after the stimulation, there is no way of knowing.
Chen Lin was amazed.
He had never seen such a treasure before. It felt like something from the demonic world, which opened his eyes.
But it is precisely because of this that cultivation becomes colorful and makes people continue to pursue and explore.
After playing with it for a while, Chen Lin put away the treasure and began to study the bodies of the bandits.
After analyzing them one by one, we finally determined that the body structure of these people was no different from that of normal people. The only difference was the rope.
According to what the barefoot old doctor said, and the information he obtained from searching souls, this thing is called the life rope, and everyone here is born with it.
The life rope is the most important component of the human body. Through its connection, people here can change their bodies at will, and even if the body is gone, it doesn’t matter. The head will not die immediately, but it will lose the ability to move. As long as someone helps you find your body again, you can continue to survive.
However, there are restrictions. It can only be changed between the same sex, and the government strictly prohibits private body changes. If a change is required, it must be done through official channels.
Of course, such restrictions are only effective for law-abiding people. This group of robbers wouldn't care about these things. The reason why each of them is so strong and muscular is because they are robbing other people's bodies.
The most important point is also the biggest difference between the people here and normal people.
The life rope is also used for the continuation of the race!
It seems that the importance of the life rope is even greater than that of the head. The existence of this thing is also very strange and difficult to understand. It can be said that it is this thing that separates the people here from normal people.
Chen Lin placed a row of life ropes in front of him.
When alive, Life Rope exudes a unique scent, which is why his and Xiaocao's disguises can be seen through at a glance.
Unfortunately, when a person dies, this aura begins to fade slowly and will soon disappear.
Moreover, the Life Rope is very tough, and its level can be increased through special training methods.
Like the one owned by the boss, it is of a higher grade and can change according to one’s heart.
It can reach up to several dozen feet in height, and is almost invisible when retracted. Moreover, it is difficult to be destroyed by magical powers and spells, and can even be used as a treasure!
Sure enough, when it was almost dawn, except for the life rope of the boss and the person whose soul was searched, the aura on the other life ropes disappeared, and the life ropes turned into ordinary tissues and were easily torn into pieces.
The boss's life rope has been tempered to a certain level, so his aura dissipates slowly. Judging from the speed, he should be able to last for most of the day.
The life of the subordinate whose soul was searched was still strong because he was not dead yet.
In order to study living beings, he was not too violent when searching their souls, leaving some of them alive.
Chen Lin looked at the two life ropes and thought he could make use of them.
The reason why his and Xiaocao's disguises were seen through was mainly because they lacked the aura of the life rope. If they used these two life ropes, there should be no problem.
Especially the one whose soul was searched, the person did not die but became an idiot. He could even directly hold the other person's head, so that the life rope would be supplied with energy from the head and could be used continuously.
After thinking for a while and feeling that there was no problem, Chen Lin started to operate.
This group of people are robbers. In order to prevent them from being wanted criminals, they have to disguise the heads before using them.
Soon, two strange heads connected by life ropes appeared before their eyes.
Holding the living head in his hand, Chen Lin used the clavicle spell to retract his head into his neck as much as possible, and then disguised it with a robe. Then he nodded at the mirror.
Even if someone stood in front of him now, it would be impossible for them to notice his abnormality.
Of course, if an expert with strong sensing ability conducts targeted detection on him, he should still be able to discover the abnormality.
But at least normal activities won't attract attention.
Next, Chen Lin asked Xiaocao to try it as well, but he frowned.
The opponent couldn't hide his head because he didn't know how to shrink his bones. If he covered it with a large cloak, it would be conspicuous. In addition, the aura of sword energy in his body was too obvious. It would be okay if the distance was long, but it would be impossible to hide it if he got close to people.
"Master, the grass is a burden to you."
Xiaocao tried for a long time but couldn't get it to perfect condition. He lowered his head and looked like he had done something wrong.
Chen Lin hurriedly comforted her: "Xiao Cao is not a burden. If you were not by my side, I would not know what to do."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and picked up the boss's leather bag.
He shook his head and said, "Come on, let's see if we can get in!"
When he was in the previous cave, he saw from afar that the boss took out a living head from here, which meant that the bag could hold living things. Moreover, the bag was very large, two feet long and one foot wide. If it could hold living things, it would be more than enough to hold grass if it was enlarged twice.
Xiaocao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but immediately jumped into the bag obediently.
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
It can really hold living things!
The grass was small and looked very loose even after entering the bag. Chen Lin tied the bag and concentrated on sensing it.
Then his eyes became brighter. The bag also had the effect of isolating the breath, and neither perception nor spiritual consciousness could sense it.
In this way, Xiaocao does not need to be disguised and can just be carried on his back. Once in danger, he can catch the enemy by surprise.
As for the breathing problem, with Xiaocao's strength, it would be no problem even if he didn't breathe for a few days. Monks are different from ordinary people. They can do internal circulation, and the energy in their bodies can replace food and air.
Chen Lin released Xiaocao and began to clean up the mess.
First, he burned all the dismembered bodies into ashes, then he collected all the other debris, and finally he put the woman's leather bag into his backpack.
Although this thing doesn't have a large space, it can hold living things and is of great value.
But this item should be very precious. Among the dozen robbers, only the boss had one, while the bags of the others were just ordinary cloth bags.
After cleaning up all the traces in the cave, Chen Lin carried Xiaocao on his back and stuffed some clothes inside. It looked like a large package.
It was already dawn at this time, so he walked out of the cave and headed towards the official road he had explored before.
Today was the day of the big market, and he planned to sneak into a caravan and disguise himself as a peddler to get information.
