The plot changed again. Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he stepped back.
He couldn't be sure whether he was pulled here by the rules or by accident, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
And this carriage is most likely the one the robbers wanted to rob.
"This mountain is mine!"
“I planted this tree!”
"If you want to live like this!"
"Leave some money for passage!"
Although the four robbers became more vicious, they still said the opening words of the robbery and regained their rationality.
This made Chen Lin more inclined to He Chengfeng's analysis. The key to leaving here should lie in these four sentences.
"Money for the passage? Sure, how much do you want?"
A gentle voice came from the carriage, very calm, as if it didn't care about the robbers at all.
The robber was also stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so obedient. He didn't react for a while.
Chen Lin watched from afar, with a strange look in his eyes. It seemed that this 'bribe' was really the key point. He just didn't know whether it was spirit stones, some exclusive currency, or something else.
The bandit leader finally reacted, then looked at his men and asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"
"Brother, we are here to rob people."
One of the men gave a careful reminder.
The bandit leader waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "We are not the ones who want to rob people, but someone hired us to do so. We don't need people, we want money!"
The subordinates disagreed with what he said and said, "But this will ruin our credibility!"
“Reputation?”
The bandit leader glared and said angrily: "I am a robber, what credibility do I have? Are you crazy?"
After being rebuked, the subordinates kept silent.
The bandit leader ignored them and turned to the carriage road: "One hundred immortal crystals per person, and I will let you go!"
Then he looked at Chen Lin, "You too!"
Chen Lin and He Chengfeng looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces. After testing each other for so long, it turned out that the other party was just trying to rob them for money.
But what the robbers wanted was fairy crystal. Chen Lin didn't know what that was, so he could only remain silent and wait for the people in the carriage to take it out first so that he could take a look.
If all else fails, he can borrow some from the other party, or exchange treasures with them. He sensed the presence of magic power from the driver, and this group of people should all be cultivators.
"One hundred immortal crystals per person, do you think that's possible? Why don't you just go and rob them?"
Upon hearing the price, a voice immediately sounded in the carriage, but it was not the gentle man before, but a woman, with strong anger in her tone.
The bandit leader was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Aren't we just robbing? Do you think I can discuss this with you?"
He shook his ghost-headed knife, "One hundred immortal crystals per person, not even one less. If you can't come up with it, then you can only go with me!"
Then he looked at Chen Lin again and said with murderous intent: "If you can't take it out, there will be no chance of catching you alive. I will send you directly to see the King of Hell. Also, the one who is hiding also counts as one person. Don't think you can get away with it by hiding!"
Chen Lin didn't say anything, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. The bandit leader could actually sense the grass in the space bag, which was beyond his expectation.
It seems that after the second mutation, the opponent has become even stronger.
Fortunately, after these robbers were resurrected, they forgot their previous memories, otherwise they would have rushed up to him and shouted at him to kill him. With his current strength, it would be difficult to deal with them.
"One hundred immortal crystals? Sure. I'll give you two hundred each. Tell me who hired you."
The man's gentle voice sounded in the carriage, without any fluctuations.
The bandit leader's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, then take out the immortal crystals. As long as you have money, I will agree to anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bag flew out of the carriage and landed precisely in front of the bandit leader. The bandit leader did not try to catch it, but instead used a machete to pry the bag open, and the shiny things scattered all over the ground.
"Brother, it's really a fairy crystal!"
When the robber next to him saw this scene, his eyes widened and he drooled as he looked at the crystalline object on the ground.
At this time, the man's voice sounded again, saying, "I've heard for a long time that the Four Heroes of Qishan are the most abiding by the rules of robbery. They say how much they want to rob and never raise the price. Here are 600 immortal crystals, not more or less. Can you tell me who hired you now? I'm in a hurry to take up my post and don't want to waste time."
The bandit leader looked at the fairy crystals on the ground with shining eyes. He picked up one and examined it, nodded and said, "Very good, you are sensible. It's okay to tell you that the one who hired us to arrest you is Huang Sihu from Guqian County!"
"Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now."
The man in the carriage thanked him, and the driver immediately cracked his whip and the carriage moved forward slowly, as if he trusted the robber very much and didn't care at all if the robber turned against him.
Chen Lin watched the robber's actions closely.
If the other party really lets the three people in the carriage leave, then he can do the same and pay money to buy their way.
The so-called fairy crystals are small pieces of spirit crystals. A normal spirit crystal can be divided into about ten pieces. Thirty spirit crystals are enough for the three of them. He can still afford it and is willing to spend money to eliminate disasters.
However, the carriage had not gone far when the bandit leader showed his vicious side, winked at his three subordinates, and launched an attack at the same time!
Just as they said, they have no credibility at all.
The aura of the four men suddenly exploded, their faces were distorted, their swords flashed scarlet, and their power was several times stronger than last time!
Chen Lin's face changed drastically and he stepped back again.
Judging from the force of this wave of attacks, the strength of these four people has reached the level of foundation building, and has exceeded the early stage of foundation building, and is at least in the middle stage of foundation building, while the bandit leader has even reached the level of perfect foundation building.
It’s not far from the golden elixir!
With such strength, it would be very difficult for him and Xiaocao to continue, and some of their methods had made the other party immune to them, making it even more difficult to defeat them. Even if they could kill them by chance and revive them, their cultivation would definitely break through the Golden Core stage, and they would have no chance of survival.
"No, sir, this is their territory, and it has mutated!"
As the robbers attacked, the coachman suddenly looked terrified and cried out loudly.
"well!"
A sigh appeared.
The carriage suddenly exploded, and two figures, one blue and one white, flew out from it, each holding a long sword. They responded to each other and drew a sword curtain to block the robbers' attack.
But it only blocked the blades of the other three robbers. The bandit leader's sword was so powerful that it broke through the sword curtain and slashed at the man in blue robe.
A jade pendant in front of the man lit up, forming a light shield that covered him, allowing him to avoid the fatal blow, but he also spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked back several feet.
"Husband, how are you?"
After the woman in white fell down, she hurried to the man in blue to check on him.
The man in the blue robe waved his hand, then looked in the direction of Chen Lin and asked with a grim expression: "Friend, you killed these robbers and caused the mutation, right? How many times did you kill them?"
"three times!"
Chen Lin answered immediately without any hesitation.
The other party's question shows that this kind of mutation after being killed is not an isolated case in the ruins, but a common phenomenon, and the other party may have a way to deal with it.
At the same time, he was secretly angry that the proprietress of the Fairy Tavern did not tell him such important information!
The other party can even contact people in the palace, so it is impossible for him not to know such information. He is obviously concealing it deliberately. Although I don’t know why he did this, it is likely that he wants to die in these ruins, which may be related to the colorful spiritual light he opened.
However, it was useless to be angry at this moment. He could only vent his anger when he had the chance. Moreover, even if he knew that the other party was hiding something, he would still come in as long as he knew that Luo Qinglan was here.
After getting the answer, the blue-robed man's face turned extremely ugly. He could no longer maintain his elegance and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you an idiot? You killed them once and couldn't you tell that this is their territory? Why do you want to kill them a second time, a third time?"
The other party's appearance made Chen Lin's heart sink. He knew he had made a common sense mistake, but this was caused by information asymmetry and there was nothing he could do.
Because once you encounter the robbers, you cannot leave the origin range without killing them, or even kill them all. You can't just stay here forever.
As for capturing him alive, that is even more unrealistic.
Not to mention that these robbers became extremely manic after the mutation and were willing to commit suicide at any time, leaving him no chance to capture them alive. Even if he caught them, it would be useless as his strength was suppressed and he could not use soul-searching techniques, so he could not get any useful information from them.
In short.
If he kills him, the robber will upgrade. If he doesn't kill him, he will be locked in the origin range and unable to leave. For him who doesn't know the information, this is an unsolvable situation.
Chen Lin paid no attention to the blue-robed man's rebuke, but said in a low voice: "It's meaningless to say this now. I don't understand the rules here. If you have any ideas, please tell me!"
The young man in blue robe frowned and asked doubtfully: "You don't understand the rules. Are you an outsider?"
Chen Lin didn't say anything.
The other person has a sharp mind and will make mistakes if you talk too much. It is better to remain silent and let the other person fill in the blanks on his own.
The man in blue robe did not ask any more questions when he saw this, but cursed his bad luck inwardly.
The rules of the territory of these robbers were very obvious. With his hidden strength, he could have passed it easily, but now it has become a dead end.
Not in the mood to explain further, the man in blue robe, his wife and the old servant gathered together, staring nervously at the robber who seemed to be planning a big move.
After thinking about it, he reminded Chen Lin: "Hand over the immortal crystals they asked for, and then you can rush out. Otherwise, if the rules are not broken, you will never be able to leave this area!"
He did this not out of kindness, but because he himself was not sure if he could deal with the robbers who had mutated three times. With the original strength of these four guys, he had some confidence in beating them after two mutations, but no confidence at all after three mutations.
Since these two men were able to kill the robbers three times, they must not be ordinary people. If everyone works together, the chances of survival will be greater.
So that's how it is!
Chen Lin finally understood the rules, and without delay took out thirty spirit crystals and threw them at the robber.
"Here's the money for the passage!"
He also made instructions in case the requirements for breaking the rules were not met.
But at this time, the robbers' eyes were red, and their evil aura was constantly rolling. They were no longer sane, and their ultimate move was ready. The bandit leader shouted, "Four Symbols Destroy Immortals!"
After the roar, a red light appeared above the four people's heads at the same time and intertwined into one.
"No, we can't let them use their evil magic!"
The man in blue robe immediately shouted loudly upon seeing this.
However, the four robbers cast the spell extremely quickly. As soon as his voice rang out, the aura of the other three robbers suddenly weakened, while the aura of the bandit leader rose again, breaking through the foundation-building level and reaching the golden elixir level!
Then a sword light shot up into the sky, carrying with it a monstrous evil intent, and slashed straight at the three men in blue robes!
This momentum made Chen Lin tremble with fear. He concluded that there was no chance that these three people would survive. He immediately took out a talisman and tried to take the opportunity to escape.
But immediately, the blue-robed youth roared, "Hurry up and do it. You can't run away. The opponent's attack can appear anywhere in the field. No matter how fast you are, it will be useless. You will get lost in the cracks of space!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin stopped activating the talisman.
Since the other party had told us the method to break the rules, we should have considered the possibility that he would escape alone. The fact that he was not worried meant that it was not easy for him to escape.
At this moment, the man in blue robe put up the shield again and actually blocked the bandit leader's terrifying knife, but it was also shaky and looked like he was about to collapse.
"Hurry up, use whatever means you have, otherwise we will all die!"
The man in blue robe was hysterical and growled through gritted teeth.
Time was running out and Chen Lin had no time to think. He just weighed the options in his mind for a moment, then pointed out with a determined look in his eyes!
He mobilized all the power of his golden soul in this finger. He had never used the Soul-Destroying Finger on this bandit leader, so he was not immune to it. So even if he couldn't kill him directly, he would at least seriously injure him, thus creating an opportunity for the man in blue to take action.
A flash of golden light appeared.
The bandit leader, who had already lost his mind, had no intention of dodging at all. He just emitted a ball of red light from his body to defend himself.
However, the Soul-Destroying Finger driven by the power of the Golden Soul had extremely strong penetrating power. It instantly broke through the red light and hit the opponent's body.
The bandit leader's body trembled twice and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Fortunately, the effect of the Soul-Destroying Finger was still overbearing, and with the blessing of the golden soul's power, it also reached the golden elixir level. Otherwise, he could only use the Sword Immortal Scroll for the last time, and his cultivation would fall to the foundation-building stage. Neither magic weapons nor spiritual treasures could be activated, and even his own flying sword could not be activated.
He immediately looked at the man in blue robe, wanting to take the opportunity to ask how to leave here. The bandit leader wanted to be resurrected again, and he had no other way out. Even summoning the sword fairy might be useless.
But before he could open his mouth, he felt the void around him tremble, and then as if something had dissipated, the feeling of restraint disappeared instantly, and the remaining three robbers fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Ah, my husband, the domain has been broken!"
Chen Lin was wondering when he heard the woman in white scream.
His expression changed and he immediately took off into the air and flew upwards.
This time it did not encounter any obstacles, nor did it return to its original place. Instead, it easily passed the treetops and flew high into the sky.
"Walk!"
Chen Lin called out to He Chengfeng and flew away.
No matter what the reason, fly away from this wooded area first.
He Chengfeng took out a flying talisman and slapped it on himself, then flew into the air and quickly caught up.
"My husband, is that person really an outsider? He was able to completely kill me in this domain. I'm afraid he is not ordinary."
The woman in white walked up to the bandit leader’s body, looked at it, and spoke with a look of shock on her face.
The man in the blue robe touched his chin, his eyes gleaming, and said, "I can't be sure, but whether it is an outsider or not, it is very useful. You deal with it here, and I will go take a look!"
After saying that, he flew in the direction Chen Lin left.
