I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 873 Bounty Order

There are two sets of formations, one is covering and shielding, and the other is defensive.

The value is extremely high, and the cost of the spirit crystal makes Chen Lin, who is rich in wealth, feel pain.

Of course, the power is also amazing.

According to the formation mage, monks of the ninth level of Daoyun can't break it, even the legendary strong Daoist can resist one or two.

Although Chen felt that he was suspected of bragging, he also admitted that the power of the formation was indeed powerful, and he couldn't break it anyway.

The only shortcoming is that the coverage area is too small, only a radius of two feet.

Rooms outside the node are only half covered.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is so powerful. If you want to expand the scope, you have to continue to add money, and the addition is not 01:30 points.

So it works just fine.

A radius of two feet can accommodate many people, and a small short-distance teleportation array can be built. With the formation access token in hand, they can be directly teleported inside, which can be used as a shelter.

Everything was ready, Chen Lin found an old Xiu.

After some instructions, break open the node and let the other party enter it.

Soon, Lao Xiu came out from inside.

"My lord, the inside is still the same as before, and there is no abnormality."

The old man reported respectfully.

"What about that painting, is it still hanging there, tell me about the figure on it?"

The main thing Chen Lin wanted to know was Li Fuyao in that painting.

The old man had been instructed before, and had already made careful observations, so he immediately described it carefully after hearing the words.

Chen Lin nodded after listening.

According to the other party's description, the painting has not changed much from when he left, at least on the surface.

"Is Nightmare Coin still there?"

Chen Lin asked again.

The old man nodded and said, "My lord, the Nightmare Coin is still there, at the position you mentioned, and a layer of floating dust has fallen on it."

"Still?"

Chen Lin was slightly startled.

In the past, Li Fuyao would always take away nightmare coins every time he placed them. Why didn't the other party move this time?
After thinking about it, he recruited two more old cultivators to go inside again to check.

But the result is the same.

"Okay, Liu Shengyuan stays here, and everyone else goes to practice on their own!"

With an order, Chen Lin drove Lao Xiu and others out, leaving only Liu Shengyuan within the range of the formation.

"My lord, let me go in with you, so that I can take care of you."

Seeing that Chen Lin was about to enter the node, Liu Shengyuan immediately spoke out.

However, Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "No need, just stay outside to observe the node changes, and if you find something wrong, go in and let me know immediately."

After finishing speaking, he activated the soul armor technique and flew into the node.

When his figure fell, Chen Lin glanced at the hanging scroll first, and immediately frowned.

There is no change in the picture scroll, whether it is the characters, shape, or hanging position, it is exactly the same as when it left.

But again, the sense of 'spirituality' that was lost when I left, has not been restored.

The painting at this time is an ordinary painting, not a treasure of heaven.

This situation was not a good one for him. Li Fuyao's existence allowed him to learn about this place, and he could also issue missions. Once the other party disappeared, it meant that he lost an important source of information.

In addition, he was also thinking about the other party's grapes, which are good treasures that can make people's cultivation soar. After Qin Lingyu and Bai Yuzhou finished eating them for so long, nothing abnormal happened, which meant that there were no side effects.

After watching for a while, Chen Lin looked away and landed on the place where the Nightmare Coin was placed.

Sure enough, the nightmare coin is still there, a layer of dust has fallen on it, and there is no trace of being moved.

He didn't touch the Nightmare Coin either. After checking the whole room, he went to the picture scroll again, took out the flying sword and picked it lightly, and then picked it off.

After thinking about it, he scratched the edge of the scroll with the tip of his sword, trying to see if it could be destroyed.

This move was a little risky, so he raised his guard.

But after the tip of the sword passed by, he suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

The drawing paper was torn apart!
How can a treasure that can accommodate people be easily destroyed?
Chen Lin felt that something was wrong, and tried again with the tip of the sword, but another small hole appeared in the painting.

He showed doubts and was a little confused about the situation.

Could it be that the abnormality of this painting before is the result of the blessing of the rules of the Nightmare Realm?
Or is it that the painting has been swapped, and this one is no longer the original one?
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't be sure, and he didn't dare to continue destroying it. Instead, he hung the painting on the wall again.

"Li Fuyao, are you still there?"

After hanging up, Chen Lin used the method of soul sound transmission to try to communicate.

Didn't get any response.

This was as expected, the spirituality of the painting disappeared, Li Fuyao would naturally not appear, and he didn't continue to try, after a glance, he walked out of the room.

Then Chen Lin went around the yard again.

The situation remains the same, no change.

The seal prohibition in the sky is still there, the copper lock on the gate still looks like it has left, and the small mark he left has not been destroyed.

This shows that no one has ever entered the courtyard, and no one has ever gone out.

This can also prove from the side that when the direction of the keyhole changed during the previous exploration, it is very likely that someone in the yard opened it, but it is hard to be sure whether it is Li Fuyao or someone else.

Although there is only one node connecting to the outside world in this courtyard, there is not only one way to enter the Nightmare Realm.

The main way to enter the Nightmare Realm is by projection, although it is possible for others to enter through medium items.

Moreover, there is another situation in the nightmare scene, that is, people who come in at the same time may not meet in the scene.

At the beginning, Niu Niu said that no matter how many people project into the Scarecrow Hut together, they all exist independently, not together, unless the other party actively manipulates it. This situation is bizarre, but it does exist.

That is to say, the change of the position of the keyhole may be caused by other projection explorers, and it cannot be used as evidence that Li Fuyao has ever left.

Chen Lin stood in front of the door and pondered for a while, then took out the key and opened the copper lock.

Gently opened the door a gap and looked out.

Then there's the raised eyebrows.

There was no sound of playing, playing and singing outside, and there was no line of welcoming brides. It was quiet and empty.

Chen Lin walked out of the courtyard with a thoughtful expression on his face, and looked at the nearby ground.

The blood on the ground was completely gone, and the place where Liang Batian was killed before was covered with weeds, which showed that few people came here, let alone take care of it.

Looking further into the distance, the streets where people walked last time have also become very desolate, without a single person.

Everything shows that the scene here is not solidified, but keeps passing.

After confirming this, Chen Lin stepped forward and walked towards the location of the county government office.

It's not that he hasn't experienced scenes with normal time passing, such as gambling on the lake, so he doesn't need to care about them. On the contrary, the creatures in such scenes often have wisdom, can communicate, and are more operable.

But as he walked, he felt something was wrong.

I have been walking for two streets, but I didn't see a single figure!
The doors of the shops on both sides are also closed, like a dead city.

Chen Lin became incredulous.

It hasn't been too long since he left last time. I don't know what happened to make a bustling county town look like this, which makes people feel vigilant.

He didn't stop, and he stopped walking, but spread his soul wings and soared into the sky, wanting to look down on the changes in other parts of the county from a high altitude, especially the direction of the county government.

Unexpectedly, just after flying less than three feet, he encountered the restriction of the road guide barrier and was blocked back.

Chen Lin was stunned.

His current first-class tolerance status, but he has the authority of a third-level guide, and he didn't expect to be unable to break through the barrier. This limit is not low.

Moreover, there are no low-level barriers, and a higher level of guidance authority is directly required. If you are not very familiar with the feeling of the guidance barrier, you may think it is an air-forbidden formation.

However, in the Nightmare scene that he experienced, there were strong restrictions on going up and down, so it wasn't an abnormal situation. Chen Lin didn't continue to try, put away his soul wings and continued walking.

Turning another street, the huge building of the county government appeared in sight.

But in the same way, the gate of the county government was also tightly closed, and there was not even a gatekeeper.

He walked slowly to the gate, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw a notice posted on the wall next to him.

"Reward order!"

The first three big characters are extremely conspicuous.

Chen Lin withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the door, slowly came to the notice, and watched it carefully.

Not much content, mainly one thing.

It is said that a monster appeared in Taiqing Mountain, [-] miles south of the city, with a pig's mouth and fangs, which was extremely powerful, and it was good at using a five-toothed nail and rake, which was very powerful.

This monster appeared half a year ago. It ate countless people. After the disaster outside the city, it came to wreak havoc in the city again. It came and went like the wind and no one could stop it. Aliens slay demons and eliminate demons.

Below are the rewards.

Anyone who can kill the monster will be rewarded with [-] Nightmare Coins, given the county's permanent tax-free authority, and ten meritorious deeds.

Seeing the reward order, Chen Lin frowned.

Pig mouth fangs?

Five-tooth rake?
Could this be Zhu Bajie?
There was a wishful stick before, and now there is a five-toothed rake. Could it be that the Celestial Cangjie is related to Journey to the West?

Immediately he smiled.

This is overthinking.

If the Ruyi Stick also came from the Nightmare Realm, it might really be a projection of Journey to the West. After all, the Nightmare Realm can even project people's thinking scenes, but in the real world, it is definitely not the case.

In addition, the monster's is a five-toothed rake, not a nine-toothed rake.

In the end, Chen Lin set his sights on the final reward.

This reward is heavy, and it is indeed very heavy. It is a total of [-] Nightmare Coins. In theory, it can be exchanged for a fourth-level road guide. He has accumulated so many years and still does not have so much.

But to say less, it is really less.

There are only a pitiful ten meritorious deeds.

It's too picky to hunt down a powerful monster that caused harm to one party and made people in the entire county dare not go out.

It's really like what the Heixiong county magistrate said, the main source of merit is beheading foreign enemies, otherwise it would be difficult to obtain, and he was able to become a first-class tolerance all thanks to those Tianluo believers.
