Chapter 24 Grief and Indignation
In the foggy area.
Lu Lin's feet suddenly gave way, and he fell uncontrollably downwards.
"Chen Hongzhi!"
"Fourth Young Master!"
The sudden turn of events made Lu Lin extremely nervous.
He just seemed to be isolated from the outside world.
He could neither hear Chen Hongzhi and Chen Hongming's voices nor see them.
puff.
Lu Lin fell heavily to the ground.
But that wasn't the end of it; he fell onto a dirt slope and rolled rapidly downhill.
thump.
Lu Lin only stopped when he hit a rock.
He stood up and checked himself over. Apart from some damage to his brand-new training clothes and some mud on them, he had no injuries whatsoever.
"Where is this place?"
Through the weapon, Lu Lin could see the environment within three meters. Beyond three meters, the view became blurry, as if he were looking at the world through frosted glass.
There was no sound.
No one responded to Lu Lin.
The line of sight here is much shorter than when we first entered the fog zone.
"Could it be that I've entered the depths of the fog? Was I teleported in? Or is there some other reason?"
Lu Lin couldn't understand it. He walked up the earthen slope for a while and found that the scene here was completely different from the one he had entered.
Some buildings can be vaguely seen in the distance.
Lu Lin proceeded cautiously.
Suddenly, Lu Lin felt a sharp pain in his right toe.
Looking down, I saw it was a black beetle.
The carapace is jet black and reflective.
The sharp mandibles tore through Lu Lin's cloth shoes, but were stopped by Lu Lin's tough skin.
Lu Lin pulled hard.
The beetle struggled for less than a second before being ripped off, its internal organs and mouthparts still attached to the cloth shoe. Lu Lin casually tossed the beetle aside.
Only then did they see the hook-shaped mouthparts, firmly locked to the surface of the cloth shoe.
"Although it's not a demonic beast, this tiny beetle actually managed to bite me hard, which is quite remarkable compared to ordinary insects."
Lu Lin was secretly alarmed.
He couldn't repair the holes left on his shoes, so he could only walk like that.
When Lu Lin arrived in front of those buildings, he felt as if he had entered a paradise.
"There are tables, chairs, pots and pans, a bed, and a wardrobe. And these clothes...they smell awful!"
Lu Lin opened the wardrobe and smelled a foul odor, so he quickly closed the door.
Just then, Lu Lin's gaze was drawn to a red color.
banner!
A small flag with a red cloth hanging from it was stuck in the hardwood of the roof beam.
Lu Lin leaped up, grabbed the roof beam, and flipped himself onto the roof.
A wooden token sat quietly above the flag.
"Mozhu Academy".
"Student token?"
Lu Lin picked up the token, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, he obtained a token so easily. At the same time, seeing the token made Lu Lin feel much more at ease.
At least this area is within the assessment zone.
Lu Lin's expression shifted.
If there are obvious cards, then there must also be hidden cards.
This complex of buildings, consisting of five or six houses, might be quite rewarding.
One token can be exchanged for one Divine Stone.
Whether for personal use, as a gift, or for trading, it is an excellent choice for Lu Lin.
They ransacked the place.
One building, two buildings, three buildings.
Within the misty area, only fog permeates the air, with no distinction between day and night.
Lu Lin searched all the houses, leaving no corner or beam unchecked, and finally found seven tokens.
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Lu Lin's eyes narrowed to slits.
Although Lu Lin has no need for the Divine Stone, it doesn't mean he doesn't need other cultivation resources.
Monster meat is one of them.
In the black market, monster meat sells for a high price, often three to five hundred taels of silver per pound.
In the past, Lu Lin could only watch helplessly when he heard this price.
He now has seven tokens, which can fetch at least ten or twenty thousand taels of silver if sold.
Easily achieve freedom for your monsters!
"Jiang Yao—"
"Help me!"
Just as Lu Lin was secretly dreaming, he suddenly heard a scream from above.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Lu Lin's mind raced, and he immediately recognized the man as the cuckolded gentleman he had encountered while shopping with Shi Tou that day.
"Heh heh, you have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, you have no gate to hell but choose to barge in!"
Lu Lin doesn't hold grudges; after all, arguing with someone like the cuckolded prince would only lower his IQ.
But what if this person comes to you of their own accord?
And it was in a foggy, sparsely populated area.
Lu Lin wouldn't mind making the other party suffer a bit.
"Don't panic, brother, I'm here!"
Before Lu Lin could make a move, another voice came from above.
He is Jiang Yao, the second younger brother of the cuckolded prince.
That day, Jiang Yao was quite protective of the cuckolded young master and prevented Lu Lin from having a conflict with him.
But when Lu Lin turned around, he heard the cuckolded young man say that he had once saved Jiang Yao.
Since the two of them were together, Lu Lin abandoned his original plan and prepared to remain silent until they left.
Thump thump.
The Green-Hat Prince and Jiang Yao landed on the ground.
"What the hell is this place? Jiang Yao, didn't you say you were going to take me to find the student token? How did you suddenly end up here?!"
"Brother, let me look around first. There seem to be a few houses over there. Let's go take a look."
The two fell not far from Lu Lin, and soon footsteps could be heard.
"What kind of godforsaken place is this? It's pitch black, and even bandits wouldn't want to live here. Ugh, it stinks!"
The cuckolded young man covered his nose, looking disgusted.
Lu Lin, hiding inside the house, could clearly see the cuckold's expression and movements.
"Brother, this is probably really the hideout of the Evil Mountain bandits. Look, there are still broken weapons they left behind."
Lu Lin had just discovered these weapons, but he hadn't contacted the bandits.
There were originally more than ten bandit groups in Evil Mountain, but now, with the arrival of the thin fog, they have all left.
However, although they left in a hurry, they left behind quite a lot of things.
"Jiang Yao, since this is the bandits' hideout, there must be treasure here."
The green-hatted young master's voice suddenly became excited, "Go and search around quickly, find some treasures and exchange them for silver. When I return to Jinshan Prefecture, we're going to have a good time for three days and three nights."
"Brother, this is just the dwelling of ordinary bandits. At most, there are some tattered clothes and socks. If you want to find something good, you have to go to the leader's place."
"Great! There must be a lot of treasure in the leader's residence. These vicious mountain bandits have been extorting merchants for years. Hehe, I never thought that in the end, it would benefit us brothers."
"Big brother, it's a bargain for me, it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Yao's voice suddenly turned cold.
"What do you mean 'get off easy'? What's yours is mine. Don't forget, I saved your life back then. You said that even if you get married in the future, you'd let me sleep with you first."
"Brother, my word is my bond, but I'm afraid you won't live to see that day..."
Jiang Yao took out a thick hemp rope and put it around the neck of the cuckolded young master.
"Brother, don't worry, after I get married, I'll definitely let you see my wife first. Now, you can rest assured... Go!"
"you!"
The cuckolded young master never expected that his brother, who usually obeyed him, would do such a thing.
As an ordinary person, he had no way to resist Jiang Yao, a martial artist who had refined his skin.
Soon, the cuckolded prince stopped struggling.
Jiang Yao smoothed out the green hat prince's eyelids.
"Brother, may you rest in peace! Ah! You despicable bandits, you actually killed my brother! I'll fight you to the death!"
Jiang Yao was filled with grief and indignation, and punched the wooden wall.
The wooden wall is broken.
Lu Lin looked embarrassed but still polite.
"Hehe, um, would you believe me if I said I didn't see anything...?"
