After killing the Tianluo woman with one strike, Chen Lin was cheered up.
This proves that the Soul-Destroying Finger is indeed the nemesis of the Tianluo people, and after the soul power has been greatly enhanced, its power is even more astonishing. The last time it killed the woodcutter, it needed several fingers, but now only one finger is enough.
He took a look at the woman's body, which had also turned to ashes.
Two things were left behind, a red headscarf and a wooden basket carried by the woman.
Chen Lin tried the soul-binding technique again, but still failed to bind anything.
He shook his head. This was the characteristic of the Soul-Destroying Finger. It would be difficult for any soul to be left after killing the enemy, after all, it was the soul that was destroyed.
It is also possible that the Soul Binding Technique does not have the characteristics of the Soul-Destroying Finger, so it is ineffective against the Tianluo people.
I first picked up the red headscarf and the wooden basket and examined them. They looked ordinary and I had no idea what they were used for. However, judging from their appearance, they should be able to exert some kind of ability.
From this we can see that the Tianluo people are not all tough melee fighters like the woodcutters, they also have magical powers.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin did not scatter the woman's ashes, but took a box and put them away.
Anyway, it is impossible to give up the items left by the other party. There is no need to worry about other Tianluo people following the scent to find them. Keeping them may still be useful.
After finishing the job, he took out the storage bags of Xiao Tiancheng and the other cultivator.
The force fluctuations here have not completely dissipated yet, so I took the opportunity to remove the mark on it and check it out.
There was basically nothing in the other storage bag. Probably because they knew that this operation was likely to be dangerous, so they left all the valuables at home.
There were quite a few things in Xiao Tiancheng's storage bag, with a wide variety of items, even a lot of spiritual rice and clean water.
This made Chen Lin suspicious. He thought that the other party might have the same idea as him. After killing him, he would not return to the Three Kings Cave, but leave the team and take refuge outside.
After looking for a while, Chen Lin showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
Finally, his efforts were not in vain. With the resources in this storage bag, he could practice for another one or two years, and perhaps he could push his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
It was not advisable to stay here for long, so after a rough look, he took out his flying balloon and flew away.
After flying for a while, the balloon stopped again.
Chen Lin looked around in doubt, frowning.
Somehow, an inexplicable sense of danger enveloped him, as if he was being watched by something.
Although it is not strong, it is real.
This is not a warning of innate ability. Innate ability will only react at the critical moment of life and death, and it will be extremely strong.
This gave Chen Lin a bad feeling, and he immediately controlled the balloon to fall to the ground.
After thinking it over, he buried all the woman's belongings he had just obtained on the spot and stayed away from them.
But the gaze is still there.
He threw away the woodcutter's hatchet as well, but it was of no use.
The feeling of being noticed does not come from this.
After standing there and thinking for a while, he took everything back and then drove the balloon again to fly away.
They had been flying for more than half an hour and there had been no attacks, but Chen Lin did not look happy at all.
He was sure that this feeling of being watched was not an illusion, but had always existed and had not diminished despite the change in his position.
This situation made Chen Lin feel heavy-hearted, and he quickly thought of a solution.
It was obvious that he was being targeted by some powerful being, and the reason was probably because he had killed that woman.
Either the woman's identity is not ordinary, and there is a strong Tianluo person behind her, or it is because he killed Tianluo people twice in a row, which triggered some rules.
Another possibility is that it was caused by the aura of the Soul-Destroying Finger.
Since the Soul-Destroying Finger is able to restrain the Tianluo people so much, it is possible that it could be sensed by the opponent's strong men.
But he was sure that this feeling of being watched did not come from the cultivators. A cultivator at the Refining Void level did not have such powerful abilities, and it was not the aura of the primordial spirit or magical powers.
Unable to guess the specific reason, Chen Lin had no choice but to reveal the line of destiny.
However, the main thread of his fate was unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether his life would be in danger. Direct predictions of events also yielded no results, as his abilities were beyond the upper limit of his natural talents.
He had expected this, so he just tried it and dismissed the image when it was of no use.
Then, he used several secret techniques to examine himself, but to no avail.
After all the operations, Chen Lin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
After thinking for a while, he readjusted the balloon and flew into the air.
The enemy was invisible and untouchable, so he could only continue to fly forward, hoping to use the distance to shake off the sense of being watched.
This time he seemed to be heading towards the swamp, and decided to go to the edge of the swamp first. If a powerful being really came looking for him, he would hide in the swamp.
According to historical records, the Tianluo people would never enter the swamp. There must be some restrictions.
"Buzz!"
The balloon had just flown a short distance when Chen Lin suddenly felt a death crisis approaching. Having had experience, he instantly twisted his body to the side.
Then a buzzing sound was heard.
A black light fell from the void and slashed down at his side, shattering his robe and cutting the rope under the balloon.
Chen Lin fell to the ground, horrified.
The power of this attack was much stronger than the previous one by the woodcutter, and it came directly through the void, shockingly catching everyone off guard. Fortunately, he was always on guard and dodged as soon as he received the warning from his innate ability, otherwise he would have died.
At this moment, a hazy figure appeared, and Chen Lin used the Soul-Destroying Finger without saying a word.
However, the opponent was extremely agile and dodged in a flash, disappearing into the void.
Immediately, Chen Lin felt a sense of alarm in his heart again. He immediately leaned back and the black light swept across his face.
He took the opportunity to strike out with his soul-destroying finger again, but it still missed.
After failing to attack the enemy twice in a row, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
No matter how much the Soul-Destroying Finger restrains the opponent, it is useless if it cannot hit the opponent. Moreover, the opponent is as ghostly as a ghost and his attack power is terrifying. If he cannot dodge even once, he may die on the spot!
But Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and still did not activate the Thunder God Sword.
The speed of the Thunder God Sword is not faster than the Soul-Destroying Finger, and the innate power is replenished very slowly after being consumed, so it is better to save it for use at a critical moment.
Just as he thought of this, the warning of his innate ability lingered in his mind again. His eyes became fierce, and instead of dodging, he pulled out his hatchet and went straight for it!
"Kachcha!"
There was a sound of metal clashing and the hatchet broke.
Chen Lin was shocked, but had no time to think about it. While the opponent was paused, he used his Soul-Destroying Finger to tap wildly!
The black beams filled the space in front of him, covering all the opponent's dodging directions. This time, the opponent was finally unable to avoid it and was hit by one of the beams. His figure shook and he was completely revealed.
Chen Lin was a veteran of many battles, so he would not waste such an opportunity. Without observing the opponent's situation, he pointed again.
This finger activated the Soul-Condensing Bracelet, and its power reached a new level again, hitting the opponent's forehead accurately. Then the opponent opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't, and fell to the ground and turned into ashes.
Chen Lin's body also shook a bit.
He could hardly bear using the Soul-Destroying Finger at such a reckless cost, but the result was still good as he finally killed this powerful enemy.
The whole battle happened so fast that he couldn't even see the opponent's specific appearance. It seemed like a young boy, but he didn't see carefully whether it was a boy or a girl. Now that it has turned into ashes, it is even harder to tell.
Suddenly, Chen Lin's expression changed and he came to Hui Jin.
He first picked up the only black dagger left by the opponent, flicked it twice with the tip of the knife, and a black crystal the size of a thumb was revealed.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Lin took out a puppet, asked the puppet to pick up the crystal, and placed it in front of him for inspection.
After examining it carefully, there was nothing special about it except for a faint energy fluctuation.
After careful consideration, he finally put the crystal away, but put it in the box used to store the orbiting beast and placed it in the storage bag of items from the demon world, suppressing the aura on it with magic energy.
After the battlefield was cleared, Chen Lin looked at the black dagger in his hand again.
The knife cut his hatchet in half at once. It was definitely a high-end weapon among the real divine weapons. He simply held it in his hand, ready to use it at any time.
Glancing up at the sky, Chen Lin discovered that the feeling of being watched from somewhere was still there, and even stronger than before.
This made him more inclined to believe that he was targeted because he had killed too many Tianluo people.
However, it is difficult to judge what kind of existence is targeting him and how much stronger it is than the young man just now.
“Could it be the deity worshipped by the Tianluo people?”
Chen Lin thought of a possibility, and a chill suddenly rose from his back.
He immediately suppressed this thought. This possibility was too shocking. If he was really being targeted by the gods, he would probably have no chance of survival.
Looking into the distance in the direction of Xiaoyuan Village, Chen Lin stepped on the snow and quickly left the place.
The more Tianluo people he killed, the stronger the sense of being watched became. He didn't dare to use his magic power recklessly anymore and simply walked on the snow.
After walking for more than two hours at full speed, even though there was snow, they still covered more than a hundred miles.
But without mana to recover, such a long journey had consumed too much physical strength. Chen Lin found a higher place, cleared some snow, put the package on the ground, and sat down to rest.
With nothing to do, he took out a scroll.
This item was found in Xiao Tiancheng's package.
Since it is not placed in the storage bag, it means that it needs to be taken out and looked at at any time. This is because the use of the storage bag will also cause weak energy fluctuations. Generally, monks will not use the storage bag when they are outside unless it is necessary.
Items such as magical weapons are carried directly on the body.
The scroll was opened, and there were lines, marks and words drawn on it. It looked like a map.
However, the drawing was too crude, and there was nothing but snow here, so it was impossible to tell where the map was.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin rolled up the scroll and put it away.
Then he stood up and continued to move towards the swamp.
