54. Trouble at the Hideout (First update of 2021!)

(Update over the New Year)

“What, what sorcery is this?!”

Everyone was greatly surprised. It was a sunny day, yet their feet began to freeze, and the ice crept up, freezing their entire bodies.

It was an astonishing scene; the sudden chill froze everyone present, turning them into ice pops within moments.

This move…

Lin Nuo looked at the familiar technique, scanning his surroundings, but saw no one.

There must be someone nearby, but he hadn’t seen them yet.

No matter, he had no interest in admiring ice sculptures. He quickly pulled the cart and ran, or else it would be over once the army caught up.

He vanished like the wind, with a whoosh.

Meanwhile, in a dark corner, a young girl cloaked in a cape and wearing a veil withdrew her hand.

“Witch, it was you!”

At that moment, several royal soldiers appeared behind the girl, pointing at her and shouting angrily.

The girl remained silent, turning around and gently flicking her fingers.

“This…”

A chill swept through, and in an instant, those royal soldiers all turned into ice sculptures.

The freezing spell would lift after the time it takes an incense stick to burn. During this time, their bodily functions were all frozen; forcibly breaking the ice would cause their bodies to shatter along with it.

“Let’s follow.”

The girl withdrew the cold air and walked in the direction Lin Nuo had left.

Lin Nuo sped along, hitting several dogs, dodging here and there, it was extremely perilous.

Chaos had erupted within the city, the underground organizations clashing with the royal army, with various dark smokes of gunpowder appearing throughout You City.

Lin Nuo was also bewildered. How had a peaceful You City erupted into riot just as he went to deliver goods?

In and out, the world had changed, making him wonder if he had traveled to another time.

Unknowingly, he was getting closer to his little house, at the end of this street, reaching the outskirts of the jungle, where his little house was located.

“I’m almost there.”

Lin Nuo quickened his pace and finally returned to his little house.

Good, after all the hardships, he had finally come back.

But before he could catch his breath, a sudden shout came:

“Where do you think you’re running to!”

A man wielding a sword ran out from one side, startling Lin Nuo.

Who the heck?

Lin Nuo turned to look and saw a man dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a sword.

Another righteous person, Du Shengtao from the Mixed Abundance Sect.

Goodness, he could even find this place, and that sword wasn’t bad either.

From noble mtl dot come

He pondered, wasn’t this guy also supposed to be looking for the princess? Why had he run over here? Was he doing the main quest while also trying to make a quick buck on the side?

“Thief, there’s something wrong with that chest of yours, hand it over to me, and I might spare your life.”

Du Shengtao shouted loudly, slightly swinging his long sword, the blade gleaming dazzlingly.

After all, Du Shengtao was dispatched by the Mixed Abundance Sect to find the princess, and whether it was his swordsmanship or luck, he was at a high level.

At the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, his strength was above that of Liu Shuqin, while Lin Nuo was only at the second level; a direct confrontation would surely be fatal.

What to do? Throw away the chest and run?

That wouldn’t do, he was counting on those contraband materials to make a destructive weapon.

Lure him towards the trap, let him enjoy a barrage of bullets and the devastation of the magic array, then take the chance to escape.

Alright, just like that.

Lin Nuo thought as he turned to steer the cart towards the trap area, only to have a burly man with wounds emerge from that region.

He was a member of the Dark Alliance, and judging by the aura he exuded, his strength was not to be underestimated.

The burly man’s eyes blazed with fury, as if someone owed him millions, his muscles bulging with veins popping.

With a punch, he brought down the neighboring poplar tree, bellowing in rage:

“You brat! How dare you kill my big brother, I will have your blood as repayment!”

Lin Nuo: “……”

Could it be that the one buried earlier was his big brother? Is this a dog? Buried yet still found?

Now in trouble, on one side a sixth-order monk, on the other a Dark Alliance expert, caught between a rock and a hard place, blood boiling.

It seems that the burly man survived under the care of the trap.

Lin Nuo had no choice, his second-order level definitely couldn’t match the two of them, he could only abandon the box and use shadow clones to confuse and retreat.

The monk Du Shengtao danced with his sword, bursting with powerful spiritual energy.

Pointing at the Dark Alliance’s burly man, he roared: “Dark Alliance scoundrel, today I shall enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, none of you shall escape!”

“Feeling cocky, little monk?”

The furious burly man rubbed his fists, his feet crushing open two holes in the ground, then turned to Lin Nuo, “Peddler, this has nothing to do with you, go where it’s cool!”

“???”

Lin Nuo was puzzled, by rights, since he delivered the killing blow to that Dark Alliance man, the blood debt should be sought from him.

Oh, it must not have been his big brother, then it’s fine.

Lin Nuo silently stepped aside, giving space to the two of them.

Both sides channeled their spiritual energy, the forest’s branches trembling and leaves falling from their intense spiritual aura.

“Little monk, die!”

“Scoundrel, meet your end!”

The two engaged in a fierce battle, their clash shaking the heavens and earth, an equal match, neither yielding.

Branches fell all around, countless birds resting on them were startled into flight.

Before long, under the onslaught of powerful spells, both sustained serious injuries and collapsed.

Lin Nuo had a bad feeling, he was just transporting goods, but stumbled upon various vendettas, another wave of people and his hideout would be gone.

He quickly dismantled the box, grabbed the goods, and fled.

Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true~
