I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chen Lin ignored Lao Dao's threat.

The other party was afraid that he had been trapped here for too long and had a brain problem, so he said such childish words.

The more this happens, the harder it is for him to trust him.

However, Chen Lin didn't say anything sarcastic.

Although the other party's request is unreliable, you can use it to gain time to move forward by making concessions with the other party.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be quick enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin pretended to mutter: "If the Taoist priest wants me to believe you, he must have an explanation. How about this? As long as you swear by the Taoist spell that you will never frame me, then I will agree to work with you." cooperate."

"Do you want to swear an oath? That's fine."

The old Taoist readily agreed.

Then he used the Taoist sect's unique incantation and swore the Taoist oath.

He also did not ask Chen Lin to swear together, and seemed not to take Chen Lin seriously.

"Okay, since the Taoist Master is so sincere, I will believe you for once. Just wait for me before the last node!"

Chen Lin was very happy.

After a pause, he sent another message: "However, with my ability, it is a bit difficult to reach the last node. Is there any way, Taoist Master, to help me?"

"You can only rely on yourself for this."

The old Taoist refused simply.

Then he said: "If you can't even reach the last node, there is no need for us to cooperate, and there is no possibility of successfully escaping from here."

"The Taoist priest is right."

Chen Lin didn't force him to do anything when he saw something was wrong. He was content if he could keep the opponent from entering the light group in advance.

Next, move on.

With enough time, he became more cautious and took every step steadily, but he did not encounter much danger again.

Chen Lin discovered that these nodes are actually traceable.

There is a relatively safe route from the starting point to the end point. It is just because the lines are too complicated that I cannot find the best choice in a hurry, so I often encounter dangers.

Now that I feel relaxed, I can observe it.

Although there was still danger, Ni Lin could warn him in advance and give him a chance to react, so the journey was relatively smooth.

In order not to reveal his trump card, Chen Lin used his destiny tentacle to pick off a fish scale from another part and attached it to the reverse scale.

To avoid being seen by the old man.

This reverse scale is his trump card. Hidden, it may produce unexpected effects at critical moments.

The other side.

The big fish transformed by Lao Dao is faster.

He seems to know the situation here very well. He takes every step without thinking, but chooses the best route.

Occasionally encountering danger can be easily resolved.

Moreover, the fish scales on his body can emit a layer of light, as if he is wearing a piece of armor. The gray light attack cannot break the defense at all.

Half an hour later.

The old path detoured around a dense node area and arrived at the last node.

Then he stopped where he was to take some time to observe Chen Lin's movements.

Watching Chen Lin stop and hesitate every step, his fishy eyes could not help but reveal an inexplicable meaning.

Chen Lin was also observing the other party.

Seeing that the other party was reaching the final point so quickly, I couldn't help but feel a shiver in my heart.

If the other party hadn't wanted to cooperate with him, he would have failed the competition and accepted the punishment.

But since the other party is waiting for him, he must be useful. He doesn't have to worry and just continue to move forward according to the plan.

Another two hours passed.

Chen Lin finally completed the crossing of all nodes.

Panting, I came to the last node.

However, his last node is not the same as Lao Dao's. Their fate lines are different and their directions are also different.

"Taoist priest is so fast!"

Chen Lin sensed the colorful light group in front of him and said hello to the old man.

However, there is still a node blocking it, so the perception of the light group is not very clear. I just feel that this light group is extremely mysterious and has an irresistible temptation, making people want to go in and find out.

"It seems you still have some tricks up your sleeve. The law of destiny has been fulfilled, right?"

An experienced voice sounded, and his tone was very calm.

But when he glanced at the chess pieces that Chen Lin was carrying with his tentacles, a flash of surprise flashed through him.

"The Taoist priest has a sharp eye!"

Chen Lin echoed.

Then he said: "This last node seems to be more dangerous than the previous ones. Does the Taoist priest have any way to deal with it? Or do we need to use chess pieces to resolve it?"

"Just use chess pieces to resolve it!"

The old man answered immediately.

"With your ability, it is impossible to safely cross this last node. This is why I asked you to leave the chess pieces at the end."

"Does the Taoist priest have the ability to cross over?"

Chen Lin glanced at the chess pieces on the opponent's body and asked tentatively.

If the other party's chess pieces weren't still there, he would have doubted whether the other party was planning on attacking his chess pieces, but now it seemed like that was not the case.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs. If you have the ability to cross the node without using chess pieces, then that's up to you."

The old man did not answer directly.

This made Chen Lin even more suspicious.

I don't know where the other party needs his help.

According to the prompts at the beginning, whoever enters the light group first will win. There is no need for the other party to wait for him.

Is the other party's mission different from his, or does he have other intentions?

Thinking of this, Chen Lin spoke in a deep voice.

"Should the Taoist Master tell me what to do to ensure safety after entering the light group?"

"To ensure safety?"

The old Taoist made a sarcastic sound.

"You have such a beautiful idea. Who can guarantee absolute safety in this fateful chess game?"

"The chess game of destiny?"

Chen Lin's heart moved and he immediately asked: "But is there someone controlling it?"

"Of course someone is controlling it, but I don't know who it is. It may just be that the chessboard of destiny is running on its own. After all, this is the nightmare world, and everything cannot be inferred according to common sense."

When Chen Lin heard this, he seemed to have some understanding.

"The destiny chessboard that the Taoist said should be a treasure of destiny. Could it be in this light group?"

"hehe."

The old Taoist laughed.

He said calmly: "That's right. In this ball of light is the treasure body that forms the chessboard of destiny. It's called the chessboard of destiny. My purpose is to get it!"

"Then what's in it for me?"

Chen Lin saw that the other party was so open and honest, and even told the whole story, so he asked him bluntly.

"you?"

The old Taoist said matter-of-factly: "You still want benefits? Being able to survive is your greatest benefit!"

"How can the Taoist priest guarantee that I can survive?"

"No guarantees required."

The old man's tone was a little impatient.

But I explained it anyway.

"You and I cross the last node at the same time, even if it's a draw. Although we won't get rewards, we won't be punished. You just have to wait aside."

After hearing this explanation, Chen Lin felt that he understood something.

The other party's purpose in asking him to join forces was probably not to ask for any help from him, but to facilitate a draw.

According to the rules of this scene, a draw seems to get the biggest reward. Only if the two players tie, will they have a chance to get the treasure of destiny!

"Okay, then just do as the Taoist Master says!"

Chen Lin agreed.

Regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, he had no choice but to listen to the other party's opinion.

"Haha, don't worry, your life and death has no impact on me, and I have no need to harm you. As long as you don't destroy my good deeds, I won't do anything to you."

The old man smiled and reassured.

Then, he swam his body and got closer to the node.

"Don't delay. This destiny chess game also has a time limit. When the destiny light group disperses, neither of us will survive."

The old man reminded me again.

Then he solemnly said: "Listen to my instructions. I will count to three, two and one, immediately cover the nodes with chess pieces, and then rush into the light group. If you fall behind due to hesitation, then you will have to accept the punishment of failure!" "Three !”

"two!"

Chen Linduo was not given a chance at all. After the warning, the veteran began to count down.

Chen Lin didn't dare to neglect.

I don’t know if the other party has any malicious intentions, but one thing is certain, if he really falls behind, he will definitely be judged to have failed by the rules.

So without pausing, he immediately swam his body and came to the node.

Take the time to observe.

This node is very strange.

It obviously gave people an extremely terrifying feeling, but when they got closer, they didn't suffer any attacks.

Moreover, his reverse scales did not react.

"one!"

"start!"

The old Taoist voice sounded with determination.

Then the light on his body shone brightly, and he flicked it hard, jumping several feet high and flying towards the colorful light group!

Chen Lin also jumped up.

At the same time, he glanced at the experienced fish.

A sharp look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The opponent indeed deceived him and did not use the chess pieces.

Chess pieces should have more use.

Luckily he was of no use either.

Next, it depends on who is stronger and whose fate is harder!

Without paying any more attention, Chen Lin just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, concentrating on guarding the nodes below.

at this time.

The inverse scales on the back of his neck suddenly felt severe pain, which was stronger than ever before.

Before he could make any move, an invisible force restrained him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move at all.

Then the node light flashed, and a golden light slowly formed, exuding a terrifying aura.

Chen Lin was shocked.

At the last node, golden light appeared!

The terrifying aura of this golden light really made him feel that death was waving to him, and his expression was extremely solemn.

But his body was immobilized and he couldn't use his reverse scales to defend himself.

In desperation, Chen Lin could only activate his death gaze and glance at the nodes.

"Buzz!"

The node trembled.

The light suddenly dimmed.

But before Chen Lin could be happy, the golden light had already condensed and was in front of him in a flash.

However, the effect of death gaze is still very powerful.

The energy of the node is greatly reduced.

Not only is the power of the golden light weakened, but the binding force is also loosened.

Chen Lin seized the opportunity and turned his body around with all his strength.

He has used this skill many times, and he is very familiar with it. He can accurately block Ni Lin in front of the golden light.

"what!"

Chen Lin let out a scream.

The attack power of golden light is far beyond that of ordinary gray light. Even if it is weakened by the death gaze, it is still very terrifying.

In addition to the powerful impact, there is also a strange energy that can destroy the origin of destiny.

The pain caused by this erosion of the origin was so severe that he couldn't bear it given his endurance.

The other side.

The fish transformed by Old Dao also suffered a blow.

But he was prepared.

Before the node was activated, his body shook, and the black and white chess piece attached to his body landed accurately on the node.

White side up.

The chess piece is like a nemesis, instantly suppressing the light of the node.

But the power of this node was too strong. While trembling, it lit up again and condensed a new light.

Shoot out!

The veteran had already expected it, and his body shook again. The light on the scales instantly concentrated in one place, forming a golden shield.

Extremely precise, blocking the light.

After being suppressed by the chess piece, although there was still light formed, it was no longer golden, and its power was far different. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then collapsed at the same time.

When the light disappeared, the old Taoist looked in the direction of Chen Lin.

A pair of fish eyes showed a sarcastic look.

"It's a bit clever, but it's a pity that the cleverness is misunderstood. This is all in the calculation of this Taoist priest. No matter how hard you struggle, your fate is destined."

"Your chess piece, as well as its origin, should be used as compensation for this Taoist priest who has been trapped for ten thousand years!"

Feeling proud, the old man's fish mouth opened and closed, and he actually began to speak human words.

"Ok?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed.

"impossible!"

Seeing that Chen Lin was still alive and kicking after being hit by the golden light, the old man was shocked beyond measure.

Even he couldn't resist this golden light, and had to suppress it with chess pieces.

But every time he started this fateful chess game, he could only bring one chess piece to suppress the node, and he would not be able to enter the colored light group, so he racked his brains and came up with a way for both parties to cross the node together.

The old way's idea is that he uses chess pieces to suppress the nodes, but deliberately makes the opponent suspicious and leaves the chess pieces unused.

The opponent doesn't know the pros and cons of Jin Mang. As long as he makes a move across the node, he will definitely die. He can use the opponent's chess piece to enter the light group.

However, after so many years, no one who started the chess game could keep the pieces until the end.

Not even one reached the last step, and they all died midway.

This time the old man saw hope.

Chen Lin was also successfully beguiled and led by his nose, following his planned route step by step.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it escaped his control.

The opponent did not use chess pieces, but safely crossed the node!

The old man's expression was extremely ugly.

Even a fish can't hide it.

Now he is in a dilemma, but the other party can enter the light group.

If the other party gets the treasure, he will definitely die!

"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"

The old Taoist's mind was spinning, and he immediately sent a message quickly, and flew towards Chen Lin with a look of concern.

Chen Lin glanced at Lao Dao.

The fish grinned.

Seems to be laughing at each other.

Then his body swayed and turned into a red line, getting into the colorful light group!

As soon as his body entered the light ball, Chen Lin felt an unmatched energy trying to repel him.

But immediately, the chess piece caught by the tentacles trembled slightly.

The feeling of rejection disappears immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the chess piece shone brightly, enveloped him, and slowly rotated.

As the chess piece rotates, the surrounding colored energy begins to be absorbed. After absorbing the energy, the chess piece rotates faster, and the speed at which the energy is absorbed also accelerates.

In an instant, an energy vortex formed.

outside.

At this time, the colorful light group seemed to be boiling, surging and rolling.

Affected by it, golden lines flew in all directions, forming a huge 'thread ball'.

The fish of destiny transformed by the old Taoist priest struggled desperately, but was unable to withstand such a terrifying energy storm.

After a while, it was completely annihilated.
