The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2655 Night time!

Lin Dong's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Night time? Is there a difference between day and night here?"

There was a hint of surprise in his words. After all, since he set foot in this unknown land, all he had seen was endless darkness.

The old man nodded and explained, "Of course, although there is no visual difference between night and day, the darkness at night is deeper, a darkness that even torches cannot completely dispel. And now, although it is still dark, the torches can still illuminate the surroundings, allowing us to walk."

At this point, the old man's tone became urgent: "We can't delay any longer. The arrival of night not only means the invasion of sea beasts, but may also be accompanied by storms and terrible black fog. The black fog can swallow everything, making people lose their way, and even... lose their lives. Only the tribe, where there are the sacred objects we have guarded for generations, can protect us from these disasters."

When Lin Dong heard this, he was startled and nodded quickly to show his understanding.

He was well aware of the urgency of the moment, so he quickened his pace, followed closely behind the natives, and headed towards the tribe they mentioned.

Along the way, Lin Dong carried Yun Ruoxian on his back. Although he was exhausted, his faith was firm. He knew that only when they reached the tribe would they be safe.

Although Yun Ruoxian was physically weak, her eyes sparkled with a desire for survival and the tenacity of a celestial realm warrior.

As the group continued to move forward, the surrounding environment seemed to change quietly. A faint salty smell permeated the air, which was the breath of the ocean.

To reach the tribe, you must first go to the seaside and then cross a beach.

Lin Dong carried Yun Ruoxian steadily on his back and followed closely behind the natives. Time was running out, and they ran extremely fast, as if they were racing against the night.

Yun Ruoxian pressed tightly against Lin Dong's back. The subtle friction between her soft body and the solid back made her feel shy and a strange ripple arose in her heart.

Lin Dong was originally only focused on getting on his way, but in this close contact, he inevitably felt Yun Ruoxian's graceful figure and close warmth.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy, and his thoughts surged like a tide, making it difficult for him to control himself. However, he knew that this was not the time to daydream, so he forced himself to suppress his distracting thoughts.

At this moment, the native in front suddenly shouted: "Oh no, night is approaching, we must speed up!"

His voice was full of urgency, as if urging everyone to speed up.

Lin Dong had no choice but to smile bitterly. He had to put aside the confusion in his heart for the time being and try his best to keep up with the pace of the natives.

As a result, the friction between his body and Yun Ruoxian's body naturally became more intense.

While running, he could clearly feel her warm breath gently brushing past his ears, bringing an inexplicable throbbing sensation.

Perhaps because of nervousness or shyness, Yun Ruoxian's body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, and she even let out a slight gasp.

The voice lingered in Lin Dong's ears, like some unspeakable hint.

However, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts.

An even more terrifying darkness gradually enveloped the space at this moment. The native in front said in fear: "Not good, we still have some time to reach the tribe, but night has already fallen completely."

"Hurry, hurry up! Danger is coming!"

he shouted.

Night fell faster than expected.

The strange space, which was originally in darkness, was now plunged into absolute darkness. The entire space seemed to be turned over by an invisible hand, and the sea water began to roll violently, carrying an ancient and mysterious power.

Not far away, several huge figures appeared on the sea. They were sea beasts. They were rampant in this sea area and were slowly approaching. One of them was comparable to a low-level monster from the outside world, which was terrifying.

If they were in the outside world, Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian could use their internal energy to kill each other in minutes.

But here, Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian lost the protection of their internal energy. Like warriors stripped of their armor, they could only rely on the power of their bodies and wisdom in the face of this sudden threat.

They ran as fast as they could, but fate did not seem to let them off easily. A giant mermaid suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their only way to escape.

"There's also a mermaid blocking our way. If we want to get through, we have to deal with it first." The old man in the tribe spoke with an undisguised panic in his voice, and every word struck everyone's heart heavily.

Lin Dong stared at the mermaid with a sharp gaze. It opened its bloody mouth and spit out a stream of emerald green venom, instantly paralyzing several natives to the ground, and their wailing stopped abruptly. The venom also splashed onto Lin Dong, but fortunately, he had a special physique and was immune to all poisons, so the venom had no effect on him.

He quickly calmed down and came up with a plan.

Lin Dong pretended to be poisoned. His body went limp and he fell to the ground, clinging tightly to Yun Ruoxian. He looked like a defenseless prey.

Seeing this, a hint of greed flashed in the mermaid's eyes, and she slowly approached, ready to enjoy this "feast".

It first came to Lin Dong and Yun Ruoxian. The reason it chose them instead of the natives was that they were closer to the mermaid.

Secondly, Lin Dong was carrying Yun Ruoxian on his back, and their bodies fell down and stuck together.

Obviously, this seemingly larger pair of "prey" attracted more of its attention.

Just as the mermaid squatted down and opened its huge mouth to swallow the two, Lin Dong suddenly jumped up, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, and stabbed it into the mermaid's chest like lightning.

This strike condensed all his strength and wisdom, and was precise and deadly.

The mermaid let out a shrill howl, its huge body trembled violently, and then slowly fell down, stirring up a wave.

Lin Dong quickly stood up and confirmed that the mermaid was dead, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned around and looked at Yun Ruoxian. They both breathed a sigh of relief, with gratitude in their eyes for surviving the disaster.

“Fortunately, I brought a dagger with me. This dagger is the Netherworld Dagger, which can make one invisible. It is extremely hidden, so the mermaid didn’t find it.” Lin Dong said after he recovered from the shock.

After saying this, he hurried towards the poisoned natives.

Then, take out the silver needles and help them detoxify.

Although the poison of the sea mermaid was terrible, Lin Dong's Nine Needles of Ice and Fire could cure all poisons in the world. At this moment, he quickly used the Nine Needles of Ice and Fire to cure their poison.

Several natives were rescued by Lin Dong. The elder was shocked, surprised and grateful.

"You are not afraid of the poison of this sea mermaid? What's more, you can save those of us who are poisoned. That's great! If we have you in our tribe, we won't be afraid of the poison of sea beasts." The elder said excitedly.

Lin Dong hurriedly said: "We have to leave quickly and don't let more sea beasts catch up with us, otherwise, I won't be able to deal with them."

I just killed that mermaid by using my wits.

If several of them came together, even if Lin Dong was not afraid of its venom, he would not be able to resist.

Losing internal energy is really a headache.

A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog. He loses his internal energy and even the small 'fish' can bully him.

When the natives heard Lin Dong's words, their faces became serious again.

They nodded one after another and quickly led the way.

Lin Dong continued to carry Yun Ruoxian on his back and followed their footsteps.

While running, Yun Ruoxian panted, and the hot air from her nose blew into Lin Dong's ears. Although she was shy, she didn't know why, but she hugged Lin Dong even tighter.

The bodies also pressed closer.

Perhaps this can give her a greater sense of security.

Or maybe she was addicted to this feeling.
