The situation was unclear, so Chen Lin did not dare to go out to investigate. Instead, he held the white jade hand and waited for dawn.
Even so, the strange cries coming from the distance made him uneasy. He wondered what kind of monster it was and whether it would find him and Xiaocao.
But when the sun rises from the horizon, everything returns to calm.
The evil aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, and those disturbing screams also stopped abruptly.
Chen Lin looked up at the sky, his expression changing constantly.
He definitely couldn't stay in this place any longer. He had to first determine what kind of interface this was, whether there were any monks present, and what the evil aura was like at night, and then decide on the next plan.
This time he did not let Xiaocao take it, but took out the spirit boat.
This thing can be activated by spirit stones and then controlled by spiritual consciousness, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he just flew close to the ground.
And if he flies too high, he might fall down if he encounters danger and be seriously injured.
Although his body refining technique has reached the Great Vajra Realm and his body is comparable to a magic weapon, that is due to the energy generated by body refining, not that he has truly refined his body into a magic weapon.
After all, the body's organs still need to function.
The current situation is that the body-refining energy has been suppressed and cannot play a role. Without the blessing of body-refining energy, the body density is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, and the skin is tougher.
This made Chen Lin very depressed.
It's so tragic that a Yuanying Zhenjun can't even use the flying technique.
He decided that if there were any cultivators here, the first thing he would do would be to look for a secret technique that could allow the soul to drive the body to fly, or a flying magical instrument that could be controlled by the soul.
But after flying for a whole day, we didn't see any signs of human life.
Looking around, it was barren and even green was rarely seen.
Chen Lin's heart couldn't help but rise.
If this is an interface without monks or even humans, it would be difficult to deal with.
Although there is spiritual energy here and one can practice during the day, without anyone to communicate with and without resources, the progress of cultivation will definitely become extremely slow. Moreover, if there is only one person, what is the point of improving one's cultivation level
Night falls again.
Chen Lin hid in a hidden place he had found in advance, holding the white jade palm and continuing to observe.
But they were not so lucky this time. Towards the middle of the night, a giant centipede discovered them.
The body of this centipede is like a giant python, and it has eyes all over its body, so densely packed that it makes people feel creepy.
"I'll do it!"
Seeing Xiaocao was about to take action, Chen Lin spoke out to stop him, then pointed his finger.
He wanted to try out the damage the Soul-Destroying Finger could do to this kind of monster so that he would have a better idea of the effect.
There was a flash of silver light, and the centipede monster's body stiffened. It then twitched and hissed, as if it was in great pain.
But he did not die immediately. The eyeballs on his body blinked at the same time, and an aura so terrifying that made Chen Lin tremble with fear emanated from it.
But he naturally wouldn't give the other party a chance to fight back, so he pointed again immediately.
This time the monster finally couldn't bear it anymore. Its huge body straightened up and it died.
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
The aura that the opponent just exuded really made him feel the approach of death. Fortunately, he took the initiative and did not let Xiaocao make the first move, otherwise he would have given the opponent a chance to breathe, which would have been a thundering blow!
At Chen Lin's signal, Xiaocao's sword lit up and he began to finish off the enemy.
Only after he had chopped the opponent into several pieces and was sure that he could not die any more did Chen Lin urge the spirit boat to come closer, collect the corpse, and call Xiaocao to hurriedly leave the place.
This time we waited until dawn and were not attacked again.
The sun rose and everything returned to normal.
Chen Lin found a place, took out the centipede monster's body, and began to study it.
This thing could actually withstand his Soul-Destroying Finger. Its strength must have at least reached the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Spiritual Transformation stage!
You know, he is Gintama now. The power of the Soul-Destroying Finger is incomparable to that before it was advanced. Although it has not been tested, he should not be able to take it on in the Nascent Soul stage unless he has a high-level treasure for soul defense.
It is impossible for a monster to have such a treasure, so the opponent's level must be very high.
After studying for a while, Chen Lin did not find anything like demon pills, and could not judge the other party's level.
Besides the eyeballs, the monster's body structure is no different from a normal centipede.
In the following days, Chen Lin stayed alert at night and rushed to check the situation during the day. Before he knew it, a month had passed.
During this period, we were attacked by monsters several times, but most of them happened at night. These monsters seemed to hide during the day and were rarely seen.
Moreover, most of them are within the range that he and Xiaocao can easily kill, and it is rare to find a powerful one like the centipede monster.
After a long period of time, Chen Lin finally wiped out the strange energy in the weapon spirit.
However, the two were too closely entangled, and although he was extremely careful, the spirit of the weapon still suffered great damage. The spirit body had collapsed, and only a trace of its origin remained.
If you want to recover to the way it was before, you won’t be able to do it for several years.
Having lost another great helper, Chen Lin was in a very bad mood.
In such an environment, without a defensive magic treasure, the chance of survival would be greatly reduced.
But there was nothing that could be done now, and the shield could only be soaked in the spiritual liquid and slowly warmed.
After a while, Chen Lin's injuries were completely healed.
Of course, the strange energy in the body is still there, and the magic power and body refining energy are all suppressed.
He also tried to use his white jade palm to clear away the strange energy, but it didn't have much effect.
It's not that the energy level in Bai Yu's palm is not enough, but that he is unable to guide this energy for his own use. He can only rely on the natural emission from his palm, and the concentration is too low.
However, the white jade palm can help him isolate the evil aura at night, which is already a great help to him, otherwise he might have mutated.
After such a long period of observation, Chen Lin also discovered some patterns.
The evil aura at night does not have a definite "force of rules". If you come into contact with anything, your legs will be fused together.
It depends on the region.
For example, in the place where the centipede monster appeared, after he tried to leave the range of the white jade palm, he felt as if something was bulging out all over his body. If there was no white jade palm, he would probably become like the centipede, with countless eyeballs growing all over his body.
While in a place where he encountered a giant rat with wings, after experimenting, he felt something was growing on both sides of his back.
Therefore, the evil aura is just a trigger, and the effects it causes are different in different regions.
in addition.
Not all regions will have abnormalities. On the contrary, abnormal areas are a small part, and the majority are normal.
But the key point is that the abnormal areas have no obvious characteristics and cannot be distinguished.
Unless you locate a safe location and stay there, you will have to treat all places as abnormal areas.
"Let's go, keep moving forward!"
It was another morning, and Chen Lin called Xiaocao to continue on his journey.
He wanted to find traces of human beings, so naturally he couldn't stay in one place all the time. However, he left marks in the places he passed by. If there were really no humans in this world, he would find a safe area to live in first and slowly look for a way to break the deadlock.
As long as he could enter the demon world, he wouldn't be forced into a desperate situation.
"Master, what do you think that is?"
During the flight, Xiaocao suddenly pointed to the distance and made an excited sound.
Chen Lin also saw it, stopped the flying boat, and showed a look of surprise.
I saw a giant tower-like building far away in the front left, reaching into the sky!
Although the entire picture cannot be seen clearly, it is definitely a human building.
Chen Lin, who had been worried for more than a month, finally relaxed. As long as there were traces of civilization, it would be fine. Regardless of whether they were cultivators or not, it showed that this world was not a dead world.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Chen Lin urged the flying boat, somewhat impatient to see the situation there.
But before he could move, he saw several streams of light shooting out from a distance and arriving in front of him in an instant.
"Hey, are you injured, fellow Taoist? Your magical power is very weak!"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who was slightly fat, with his hair tied up casually. He wore a robe embroidered with a big golden bird and had a flying sword under his feet.
Judging from the aura he exudes, his cultivation should be in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Behind the other party were three men and one woman, all of them were very young, but they all had the cultivation level of Golden Core.
Chen Lin's eyes lit up. These people were all real cultivators!
Since there are cultivators here, it means they are in the orthodox cultivation world. The previous worries disappeared in an instant.
He cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man and said, "Your eyes are as sharp as torches. You are indeed injured. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Ha ha!"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "In this damn environment, getting injured is commonplace. There's nothing to laugh at. But it's getting dark soon, fellow Taoist, you should hurry back to the city, otherwise it will be troublesome if you encounter evil beasts again."
He glanced at Chen Lin's storage bag and said, "My name is Zhao Jiuzhou. I opened a shop on the third floor of the Black Tower. If you have anything you want to sell, you can find me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"
After saying that, he and the people behind him turned into streams of light and shot towards the direction of the tower-like building!
After the other party left, Chen Lin put away the Soul-Destroying Finger that he had held in his hand, took a look, and urged the flying boat to follow.
On the way, he saw the monk again.
There were three of them in the group, all of whom were at the Nascent Soul stage.
However, he did not approach, but stayed away from it.
Since we already know that the building is the gathering place of monks, there is no need to contact people of the same level in the wild to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When the distance got closer, Chen Lin finally saw the whole picture of the building.
It is a huge black tower, towering into the clouds like a mountain. It is unknown how many floors it has.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the enormity of the tower, and the light flowing on it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
Moreover, as they got closer to the black tower, they met more and more monks, but they were all flying towards the black tower from afar, and almost no one came out from inside.
Chen Lin seized the opportunity to intercept a cultivator who was only at the foundation-building stage, and used the secret technique of the spirit to briefly inquire about the situation.
Then it became very shocking.
The interior of this black tower is actually a city!
