While Chen Lin was thinking, the Fairy of Flowers also flew to the node to check it out and was equally surprised and confused.
"what to do?"
The Fairy of Flowers looked at Chen Lin with a questioning look in her eyes.
“There is no other way but to continue verifying.”
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and released the scholar. The opponent's weapon spirit was the remnant soul of his true spirit, which could resist the invasion of the demonic energy here to a certain extent. If it was an ordinary puppet, it would be immediately demonized without the protection of his innate power.
Give the scholar a boundary-breaking talisman, and then control it to fly to the node location.
The node was broken normally, and the scholar's hand slowly reached forward, but as soon as it touched the ripples, it could not move forward any further.
Chen Lin's mind moved, and he let the scholar release a sword energy.
But just like before, the node still cannot be shaken at all.
His face turned very ugly.
You can break through the node, but you can't get out. This is undoubtedly a restriction by the rules!
The short man also thought of this, and his expression was no longer ugly, but rather ashen.
Chen Lin and others were unable to leave. At best, they were trapped here and could slowly look for a solution. However, he was about to be demonized. If he could not leave within a quarter of an hour, he would become a mindless monster!
"Sir, help me!"
His expression changed for a while, and the short man knelt on one knee.
As if he felt that such a request was too pale, he made up his mind and said, "As long as you help me, I am willing to recognize you as my master and follow you until death!"
He didn't want to die, and he couldn't die. If he died, his tribesmen and family would all die at the hands of their enemies, so he had to live even if he had to give up his dignity and freedom.
"good!"
Chen Lin agreed readily.
He still needs a subordinate at the level of a god.
He first put the scholar away, then he took out a soul contract, placed it in front of the other party, and said: "This is a soul contract, separate a strand of your soul and imprint it on it, and I will guarantee that you will not be demonized!"
The short man didn't expect Chen Lin to take out the soul contract, and he hesitated immediately.
But the words have been spoken, there is no room for regret, and I can only do it regardless of the consequences.
The contract was completed, and Chen Lin used his innate power to eliminate the opponent's state that was close to demonization. In this way, the opponent could rely on the effect of the bone fragments to hold on for a while.
Feeling his body recover, the short man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your help, Master. Gou Yushan will definitely repay you for your kindness!"
He bowed to Chen Lin and thanked him, but there was not much sincerity in his tone.
Chen Lin didn't care. Once the soul contract was formed, it was basically impossible to break it. If the other party really had such means, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Moreover, he might not necessarily use the other party, he just did it casually to leave a way out for himself.
"It's okay, but I can't maintain this state for long, so I'd better find a way to leave as soon as possible."
Chen Lin waved his hand calmly and asked the other person to get up.
The innate power of the Thunder God Sword is limited, and it recovers very slowly. If he uses it by himself, it can last forever, but with the addition of one more person, it will be insufficient, not to mention that he has to take the Fairy of Flowers into consideration as well.
Fortunately, each of them has the means to resist the evil spirit. Although they cannot completely isolate it, the speed of erosion is very slow, and the demand for innate strength is not much.
Speaking of demonization, Gouyushan and Fairy Baihua both became solemn.
The same goes for Chen Lin himself.
He had never encountered a similar situation before, and he had never asked the cat-headed monster whether the fourth-level guide could break through such rules and restrictions. If not, if he summoned the other party over, he would trap the other party here as well.
However, he felt that with the cat-headed monster's understanding of the demon world, it would not leave such a big loophole.
Either you can break through, or the other party can sense the situation of the scene you want to travel through and avoid being trapped.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party is just like him and does not know that once the true body enters the demon world, there will be restrictions on leaving, so he did not mention this point.
But no matter which one, he couldn't summon the other party rashly unless he was really desperate.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what are you going to do?"
The Fairy of Flowers placed her shadow next to Chen Lin, using Chen Lin's innate strength to weaken the erosion of the demonic energy.
She was well aware of the strange rules of the demon world, and now she no longer had the joy she had just had. If she couldn't get out, no matter how suitable the demon world was for survival and cultivation, it would be useless.
"Let's walk along the street first!"
Chen Lin didn't have any good solution and could only take it one step at a time.
Then he whispered a reminder: "Everyone is together, don't act recklessly, don't touch anything at will, and don't speak loudly."
After giving the instructions, he began to walk slowly forward.
As you walk, continue to observe your surroundings.
At this time, Chen Lin discovered that although the statues on both sides of the bluestone street were uniform, there were still some differences between them.
Above the arms of all the statues, there is a circle of eye-catching protrusions engraved, like a ring on it, but one side is black and the other side is white.
On the surface, there should be two camps.
These statues are still holding weapons, and it really feels like two armies are fighting.
Several people used their eyesight to carefully examine all visible objects around them, looking for places where rules might exist.
But they had not walked too far when Gou Yushan, who was in charge of exploring the way ahead, seemed to have hit something and stopped.
"Why, have we reached the border of the road?"
Chen Lin immediately walked up and stretched out his hand to test while asking.
Then he was stunned.
His hand was also blocked!
At this time, Gou Yushan asked in confusion: "Master, we should not have passed the barrier of the road guide just now, why were we blocked?"
As he said this, he took out his pass and tried again, but still could not pass through the barrier.
Chen Lin looked at the other party's actions and had a bad feeling in his heart.
The pass the other party took out was of level one, while his pass was of level two, but neither of them could pass through the barrier in front of them.
There are only two possibilities.
One is that the invisible barrier is not the boundary of the guide, but other restrictions within the scene.
Another possibility is that the pass is invalid!
Neither consequence is good.
The Flower Fairy and the Grass also went forward to try, but the result was the same, they couldn't get through.
"Let's go back to the other side and take a look!"
Chen Lin changed positions and tried several times but failed, so he took the three people back to the other side of the street.
This time the walk took a bit longer. After passing the node where they came in, they walked about two miles and encountered a barrier again.
We probed along the barrier to both sides, extending it into the woods and entering the withered statue area.
Chen Lin did not go any further. Instead, he spread his soul wings and explored upwards along the barrier. He then discovered that there was also a height limit. After he went about ten feet beyond the treetops, he encountered another barrier.
After falling, his face turned livid.
He was very familiar with this situation. It was undoubtedly the boundary of the road guide.
Moreover, the Fairy of Flowers was able to follow them without a guide, which showed that this area was the range of their actions without a guide.
In other words, their passes are invalid!
"You can't use a pass in this place. What should I do?"
Gou Yushan also had some understanding of the demon world and discovered the problem as well, his face looked very unhappy.
Fairy Baihua also looked worried and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, it seems that the rules are set on the statues on both sides. What should we do? Should we go check it out?"
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Let's observe it for a while. This scene is unusual. Who knows what will happen if we touch the statue rashly."
The Fairy of Flowers said nothing more.
She also knew that the rules of the demon world were terrifying and disorganized.
Next, they carefully checked the bluestone street bit by bit, even comparing the patterns on each piece of bluestone, and then looked at the trees on both sides.
It was ultimately determined that there were no abnormalities.
"what to do?"
The Fairy of Flowers leaned against Chen Lin and spoke in a concentrated voice.
Chen Lin sighed.
"There is no other way. I can only try to contact the statue."
After saying that, he glanced at Gouyu Mountain.
Gou Yushan's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me lead the way!"
He was very self-aware. Not to mention the constraints of the soul contract, even if there was no soul contract, this task would still fall on him, not to mention that he still needed Chen Lin's help to avoid being demonized. If Chen Lin died, he would be doomed as well.
“No need.”
Chen Lin waved his hand and took out a crow puppet.
At this time, there is no need to worry about whether the puppet will be demonized or not. Moreover, even if a crow puppet is demonized, it will not mutate much. Most creatures will just be ordinary monsters after being completely demonized. Not every one will become like Fat Tiger.
He gave the crow puppet an instruction and it flew out.
Soon, the crow puppet flew above the group of statues.
But the statue didn't react.
Chen Lin frowned, this was a little unexpected.
However, the strong demonic energy suppressed his spiritual power so much that he could not control the puppet for detailed observation, nor could he use the recording beads. He could only watch the puppet fly around and then return automatically.
He observed for a while and found that although the crow puppet had been demonized, it had not yet completely turned into a creature from the demon world. It seemed that the rule that non-living objects had a slow demonization speed had not changed.
Even so, he did not waste his innate power to restore the puppet. He directly crushed it and put it into the storage bag.
Then he took out a new puppet.
He repeated the same procedure and ordered it to fly over the statue again, but this time it did not turn back halfway, but kept moving forward.
After flying for about a mile, the puppet seemed to hit something and flew back.
During the whole process, none of the statues moved.
Chen Lin's face was gloomy. He changed his position and continued exploring. After exploring this side, he explored the other side.
However, more than ten crow puppets were wasted, and twice the crow puppets even fell on the statue, but the statue did not react at all.
Apart from trying to find out the boundary range, no useful information was obtained!
