But at this moment, Lu Lin suddenly discovered that Li Mi's eyes were closed. Although she was still holding on to Lu Lin's clothes, her previously tense arms seemed to have relaxed.

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

All along, Rumi has only expressed resistance to this thing, but there is no sign that it will lose control because of this thing.

In other words, if Li Mi's situation really gets out of control, there will be no warning.

Just like when Lu Lin asked a question he shouldn't have asked, nothing could be seen on his face at first. By the time Lu Lin realized something was wrong, Li Mi's situation was already out of control.

Li Mi's current behavior was probably because he really didn't want to see this thing, but he didn't want to leave Lu Lin's side, so he simply closed his eyes, grabbed Lu Lin's clothes and started to hang up.

It's a bit like following your teammates at the AFK point when running a map in an online game...

This made Lu Lin relieved.

It would be great if Tanuki was willing to continue walking, as long as they could get out of this weird forest first, and when they reached the open space under the giant tree, they would be farther away from the fruits.

At this time, Lan Jie also noticed something strange about the two of them, turned around and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's okay," Lu Lin replied in a low voice, "Remember not to eat that fruit for a while and see how this guy will react."

"Well, I understand," Lan Jie nodded, then put on a playful smile, turned around and said, "Oh, there's nothing going on here, it's just that my boss saw a very rare herb just now, but I'll wait. Let’s go over there first and then talk.”

"Ah? Haha, it's easy to talk about this. You can just think of a way to get the clay puppets to pick it up when we get there later," the guide grinned. "It's better to follow closely now and don't go the wrong way."

With that said, the guide continued to move forward.

Lan Jie looked back at Lu Lin, exchanged glances, and followed with the twin clay puppets.

Lu Lin, on the other hand, was paying attention to Li Mi's situation, memorizing the route, and slowly followed the team at the end.

Not long after, everyone successfully walked out of the woods.

It can be seen that the Yaqui guide is not bragging. He is indeed familiar with this road. The trees he passes along the way are all kinds of strange, but there is no danger in them.

As soon as he walked out of the forest, the Yaqi guide immediately ran excitedly to the bottom of the floating high-level reality and greeted everyone: "Hey! Come on! We are in for a treat today."

Lu Lin and others were not excited at all, and continued to grind slowly.

Lan Jie even said with a smile: "Hey, isn't it just a pile of fruits? There's no need to be so excited, right?"

"Hey! This is not an ordinary fruit! Didn't I say it before? This thing is very rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most delicious food in the world," the Yaqi guide said in an exaggerated tone, "And it has to be You know, I may not encounter this thing even once in ten times. This time we actually encountered several at once. How could I not be excited! Bosses, this is your first time here, so you have no idea how lucky you are. OK!"

"That's right," Lu Lin nodded, "But, I have always had a doubt. Since this thing is so precious, why don't we choose to take it out and sell it?"

"Eh? Didn't I say that? Of course it's because this thing can't be taken away?" the Yaqi guide said, "Did you see the light it has? As long as you take this thing off, the light will dissipate in a short time. Then the peel will crack and it will be just a puddle of jam."

"Oh, that's right, it's reasonable," Lu Lin nodded, "In that case, you've had a hard time along the way, why don't you eat one first?"

As soon as he said this, the Yaqi guide's smile suddenly froze.

But only for a moment.

A moment later, the Yaquis guide burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, the boss is worthy of being an alchemist. He is really cautious about fruits and flowers he has never seen before when going out," the Yaqi guide said with a smile, "Forget it, this thing is still glowing. From now on In terms of botanical common sense, it is indeed a bit questionable. In that case, I will take advantage of this first."

As he spoke, the Nayaki guide jumped up, three meters high, and directly took down a large Sashi floating in the air.

"Huh? This guy actually has such skills, well, but that's right, a guide who can run in the wild should have some skills," Lu Lin thought to himself, waiting for the other party's next move.

Will he just pretend to make excuses, or will he just cause an accident and ruin the fruit?

Lu Lin stared at the guide closely, and then saw the other person holding the fruit in his hands, opening his mouth and gently biting a gap, and then, like sucking jelly, he sucked all the pulp inside the fruit into his stomach bit by bit. , not even a drop of residual juice was left.

Chapter 97 This is really delicious, how can you not eat it?

Lu Lin saw Lan Jie and cast a surprised look at him.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: "Oh my god, he actually finished eating."

Not only Lan Jie, Lu Lin was also surprised.

It seems that there should be some problems with their previous predictions.

After sucking all the juice, the Nayaki guide showed an intoxicated look on his face, and then he put the peel into his mouth like a fruit peel and ate it bit by bit.

After finishing the whole meal, he seemed to be in a state of intoxication. He stood there blankly, raising his head slightly, his mouth slightly open, his face full of happiness and intoxication.

If that's all, that's it. He looks no different from a drug addict who got high on grass pulp.

But his next reaction was even more exaggerated than before. Tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest. His face was sometimes intoxicated, sometimes smiling, sometimes like talking and laughing with old friends, sometimes like a wanderer returning home. Hometown.

However, in just a few minutes, the expression on the guide's face changed a dozen times, but no matter how he changed, there was always a smile on his lips, and it was obvious that he continued to be happy.

"Hiss...Boss, it looks like there's nothing wrong with the fruit itself?" Lan Jie asked doubtfully.

"You call this okay?" Lu Lin's mouth twitched.

"No, how should I put it? Although the performance is quite exaggerated..." Lan Jie said, "But looking at him, it doesn't look like he was affected by the fruit, right?"

"We'll talk about it later," Lu Lin said. "Didn't you say it before? People who have part of their souls taken away won't do anything bad, but they will forget all memories about Oga City and the past. .”

"Yeah, that's right," Lan Jie nodded.

Lu Lin looked back at Li Mi.

The latter's situation does not appear to have changed.

only……

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Lin always felt that Li Mi's eyes seemed to be closed tighter.

"It's strange. Could it be that the important point is not the step of eating the fruit?" Lu Lin was confused and looked at the guide in front of him, waiting for him to come to his senses.

After a full 10 minutes, the Yaqi guide seemed to have finished savoring the delicious food and opened his eyes.

Then, he immediately noticed the gazes of Lu Lin and others, looked down at his knees on the ground, suddenly showed an embarrassed smile, scratched his head, and stood up.

"Sorry, this taste is so intoxicating," the Yaqui guide said with a smile, "Come on, you guys can have a taste too, there's quite a lot left, just enough for one of us."

After saying this, Lan Jie said nothing, but turned to look at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin touched his chin and looked at the Yaqi guide, silent.

His words fell into the air, and the Yaqi guide seemed a little embarrassed. He looked left and right and asked, "Uh, what's going on, everyone?"

"Hmm..." Lu Lin touched his chin, "No, it's nothing. I just thought that since you like eating so much, why don't you eat the rest?"

"Ah?" The Yaqi guide was stunned, "But... didn't we agree to have one for each of us? This thing is so precious. Isn't it just to eat this thing that you all come here? Otherwise, this ghost What’s so great about this place?”

"No, I just want to take a look. I'm not very interested in this stuff," Lu Lin said, "Just eat it all, it doesn't matter."

"No...but, at least give it a try! This thing is really rare," the guide said.

"It's okay, no, we only encountered so many when we came here once," Lu Lin shrugged, "You can just eat, you really don't have to worry about us."

"No! No, no, no! You don't understand the value of this thing!" Hearing what Lu Lin said, the guide became a little anxious, "Do you know how much one of these things is worth?"

"How much is this worth?" Lu Lin deliberately looked disdainful, "It's just fruit."

Upon hearing this, the guide suddenly showed an unreasonable expression.

He recognized this expression. In his previous life, one of his unlucky old Two-dimensional friends would show this expression every time they heard someone talk nonsense about his beloved figurine and said it was worth ten yuan at most.

Then based on experience.

His old Two-dimensional friends usually get anxious after that.

"No! Boss, you...you really don't understand?" Sure enough, the guide's tongue started to lose its twitching, "This building...ah! That's right! The Supreme Club! You know the Supreme Club, right? Just That place where you have to pay a thousand gold coins! Do you know why those wealthy businessmen joined there? Just to get this!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lin frowned.

This……

Ok.

It seemed that he had finally caught the enemy.

"Is that so?" Lu Lin looked at the Yaqui guide with a half-smile, "But didn't I remember someone saying that the only way to eat this kind of fruit is to travel here and try your luck?"

"Well, what I said is definitely true," the Yaqi guide answered fluently, "Do I want to tell you that you can also get something by joining the Supreme Society? And then I asked you to pay a thousand gold coins to join. The Supreme Council? I’m afraid it’s not realistic, right?”

"No, no, no, that's not what logic says." Lu Lin shook his finger, "You should obviously tell me this in advance, so that I can more clearly understand the preciousness of this thing. Then, you should also follow up. I think if you really encounter a distribution problem after high-level events, you can at least use this to ask me for a tip that is far more than ten silver coins. This is in line with the action logic of a guide who wants to make money."

After the words fell, the Yaqi guide was obviously startled, and then he put on a business-like smile and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect this. Boss, you are really awesome. It turns out that this is the way to make money as a tour guide." , I said that my colleagues all make more than me, this is really a lesson!”

"Come on, you claim that you have run this route hundreds of times, and you still don't understand? I think it's not that you don't understand, but that you understand it too well," Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "Don't you dare tell me this?" One thing, there is only one reason from beginning to end, and that is to tell me that there is a behavior that will always be logically unreasonable, that is, why do we eat these things here instead of taking them out to sell them."

"Didn't I say it before?" Sweat broke out on the Yaqi guide's forehead, "This thing can't be taken away from here..."

"Is this really true?" Lu Lin sneered, "You mean, those wealthy businessmen and powerful aristocrats spent thousands of dollars to join the so-called Supreme Society, but they still eat it every time they want to eat it. Do you have to go there and try your luck?"

"Which of these people is not busy with everything, and who is not enjoying endless delicacies every day?"

"If the Supreme Society cannot deliver these fruits to them, I really can't imagine why people like them would spend such a large sum of money to join this so-called Supreme Society."

"So, no matter what method is used, even if it is an outrageous method such as super long-distance transmission, I don't believe that there is really no possibility of transporting the fruit here."

"And as long as there's a chance they can be shipped out..."

Lu Lin said, looking at the Yaqi guide with evil eyes, and said slowly: "Then, such a precious fruit should never be eaten by a few 'lucky travelers', unless these travelers eat it." These fruits can create values ​​far beyond their own value..."

"Am I right, our dear guide?"

Chapter 98 If you don’t take the road to heaven, there will be no way to hell.

Lu Lin knew very well that when he made all this clear, it was basically equivalent to falling out with the other party.

But now that things have come to a point, if we continue to talk, the only way out is to talk.

Because the direction in which the other party revealed his clues was not what Lu Lin expected at the beginning.

The clue that "the purpose of joining the Supreme Society is to be able to consume high-end Xishi" is clearly contrary to the logic of Lu Lin's initial suspicion that there was something wrong with Xishi.

Unless Oga City is really so awesome that it can even fool these big businessmen and nobles, there is probably no problem with Xishi itself.

On the contrary, this thing is actually extremely precious, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for them to eat it.

Therefore, the trap is not in the past itself, but somewhere else.

But this trap seems to require them to eat the past before they can activate it.

This was a dead end. No matter how much he struggled with the past, he could not find out what the other party wanted to do next.

In this case, it's better to just overturn the table.

However, Lu Lin even mentioned this, but the Yaqi guide still forced a smile on his face and insisted: "No, but the problem is that the fruits here really cannot be transported out. The geographical conditions here are special. , the teleportation circle cannot be arranged. As for why those big businessmen and nobles want to join, you have never tasted it. You really don’t know how special this fruit is..."

"Okay, although you insist on insisting that high-end materials cannot be transported out here, it will indeed make my statement untenable," Lu Lin said, his voice getting colder and colder, "But now, do you think Can this really make me believe you? Do you really think you can still fool me?"

As he spoke, Lan Jie on the side understood it, and the long knife on his waist was slowly unsheathed.

Seeing the two people's posture, the smile on the Yaqi guide's face finally slowly disappeared.

Finally, he sighed, then raised his hands, and said while stepping back: "Okay, okay, don't be impulsive. I admit, I have some bad intentions. I just want to take advantage of you to enjoy the past. I secretly got some money from you, but that's all. Now I know I was wrong. Sir, you don't remember the faults of villains. I won't take any money from you this time. I will treat you to a meal when I go back. Bosses, do you think it’s okay to apologize for the luxurious buffet?”

"Let's find a better reason." Lan Jie beside him couldn't stand it anymore. "If you tell the truth, we still have room for discussion, otherwise..."

"What else? Can you still kill me? Do you want to be trapped and die here?" the Yaqi guide sneered, "Only I know how to get back from here. I think we'd better treat it as Nothing happened, and it would be better to go back in peace. Ah, of course, in order to prevent you from doing anything bad to me, I think you should give me another hostage, for example, the mute girl over there who can only hide behind others. That’s good.”

As soon as these words came out, Lan Jie's face turned dark, but he did not act impulsively and turned to look at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin's expression was a little subtle. He always felt that he should be angry, but he seemed a little unable to be angry.

A mute girl who only hides behind others?

Last time, what happened to the person who thought Rumi was an ordinary girl and attacked her directly?

Ah, come to think of it, my head was hit like a bowling ball.

"Oh, I really don't know what to say," Lu Lin sighed, "By the way, you also know that I am an alchemist, right? How much do you know about the methods of alchemists?"

After hearing Lu Lin's words, the Yaqi guide's expression immediately changed.

"Hey, it seems that you should know a lot," Lu Lin grinned. "You know, I have many ways to make you take us back honestly, and then die quietly here. No one knows about this corner, and in the end, not even a bit of flesh will be left. If you don’t want to end up like this, then you’d better tell everything you know honestly now.”

However, after hearing Lu Lin's words, the Yaqui guide did not say a word, but took another step back as if he was frightened.

Then, he suddenly exerted force and started running in the direction of Lu Lin.

Lu Lin immediately shouted: "Lan Jie! Catch him alive!"

"Okay!" Lan Jie agreed, holding a long knife in his hand and facing the Yaqi guide with the back of the knife.
