Hua Ling swallowed. Had she been possessed?
She turned around and saw that Niu Jing had long been drowned by a large patch of Dark Shadow Skins. Judging from the blood at the corner of his mouth, he had clearly been sent flying back and landed in a large group of Dark Shadow Skin!
Who was it? Or was it something in the dark?
“Sister Hua Ling!”
At this moment, a shout attracted Hua Ling’s attention. “Little Fish!”
Cheng Yu’er stuck her head out of a room on the second floor and waved at Hua Ling. “Sister Hua Ling!”
Hua Ling was stunned for a moment. Without hesitation, she quickly gathered her remaining strength and rushed towards the window.
Along the way, shadows kept gushing out from the darkness, as if they were endless, wanting to drown Hua Ling.
However, there seemed to be an invisible defense barrier around Hua Ling. As long as the shadow approached within three meters, it would immediately and completely disappear.
An endless stream of shadows disappeared around Hua Ling!
Even Hua Ling was terrified by the sight. She could only brace herself and approach Cheng Yu’er. When she stood under the flat building where Cheng Yu’er was, Cheng Yu’er jumped down from upstairs and happened to stand beside her.
“Little Fish, what’s going on?”
Hua Ling looked around. The number of Dark Shadow Skins had decreased, but there was still an endless stream of them, but they could not approach the two of them.
“There’s no time to explain. Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
Before Cheng Yu’er could speak, a low voice suddenly sounded from beside her. “Go to the place you instinctively want to go!”
“Who, who’s talking?!” Hua Ling was shocked.
“Anyway, let’s go first!”
Cheng Yu’er thought about it intuitively. “This way! This way!”
This was the direction indicated by her intuition. It was actually pointing at Old Master Qian’s residence again. Cheng Yu’er hurriedly pulled Hua Ling and ran in that direction.
Hua Ling naturally followed. She had already remembered that Cheng Yu’er had said that there was an invisible person in the dark. It was a Jade Grade Noble Realm cultivator who had helped her kill a Black Grade Noble Realm cultivator. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she naturally no longer had any doubts!
The two of them ran all the way. Lin Yan, who was hiding in the dark, followed closely behind.
His Sun Shining Heart Flame countered the Dark Shadow Skin. As long as he did not reveal his figure and killed them in secret, there was no risk of being exposed.
Moreover, after the Dark Shadow Skin died, it would condense into a strange pitch-black thin skin that could be absorbed by the Myriad Treasures Tree.
Since Lin Yan already knew that the Creation Treasure Fruit condensed by the Myriad Treasures Tree was very likely related to absorbing the spirituality of the world and advancing to the Treasure Realm, he naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
Hence, he whispered into their ears, “Siow down!”
Cheng Yu’er and Lin Yan naturally did as they were told. Therefore, the Dark Shadow Skins, which had begun to decrease because of Lin Yan’s wanton hunting, swarmed over from all directions again and kept charging at the two of them suicidally, but they were unable to break through the encirclement.
They surrounded him, and he killed them. They kept walking.
When the two of them slowly walked all the way to Old Master Qian’s residence, there was no longer any Dark Shadow Skin following them. The ground was empty and there were no fluctuating shadows. Other than being especially quiet with almost no human voices, it was almost no different from District B16 in the past.
Lin Yan didn’t know how many Dark Shadow Skins he had killed.
In the Immortal Seed Space, a branch on the right side of the Myriad Treasures Tree clearly extended again. It was dotted with strange pitch-black patterns, as if cold Yin energy was flowing inside. Below, a pitch-black and shiny fruit hung in the air. The surface was covered in golden patterns and emitted a misty halo. It had already formed a completely strange pattern and emitted a dense layer of black energy. It was like a flame cloud that surrounded the fruit and emitted a sinister aura.
A thin seven-colored halo with some black ink in the middle replaced the fruit handle and hung it in the air.
Just from its strong attraction to Lin Yan, the quality of this fruit was not inferior to the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit or the Turtle-Patterned Treasure Fruit at all. The patterns on it were even more terrifying, as if it was a ghost that was about to break out of its shell. It contained a coldness that made people faintly afraid.
This fruit seems to be…” Lin Yan was slightly stunned. “It’s quite compatible with the White Tiger Dominating the World”
Ever since Ding’an City, Lin Yan had been studying the relationship between Unusual Items, Force Features, and martial arts techniques. Later on, he could even deduce martial arts from his special effects and matching Unusual Items. He had formed a set of rules to determine the affinity between Unusual Items, Force Features, martial arts techniques, and special effects.
The strange aura emitted by the Demon-Pattern Treasure Fruit actually vaguely made him feel an aura similar to the White Tiger Dominating the World!
“The Dark Shadow Skin is something that looks like a ghost. It can devour the spirituality of living beings and transform them for its own use.
“As for the White Tiger Dominating the World, it’s even more terrifying. It can snatch the spirituality of other living beings and turn them into servants!
“The two are indeed quite similar. Could it be that the deeper principles are the same?”
In this way, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger all had corresponding treasure fruits that could allow him to carry out the advanced research of absorbing the spirituality of the world.
Only the special effect Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder that he had obtained the earliest did not have a corresponding Treasure Fruit. The Spiritual Realm small world of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother might not have enough Unusual Items to catalyze a Wind Thunder Treasure Fruit.
Lin Yan couldn’t help but have his eyes on the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree on Marquis Qianning’s estate.
“When I’m done here, I’ll make a trip to Marquis Qianning’s place in District A…”
In Old Master Qian’s residence, Cheng Yu’er and Hua Ling entered and saw that the ground was in a mess. Blood and flesh were scattered everywhere. These were all traces left behind by Old Master Qian’s explosion.
However, there were many people who had survived. They were already unconscious and were lying on the ground.
As they were affected by the explosion, some of them lost their arms and legs, and some even lost a portion of their bodies. However, they were still lying on the ground without moving, and blood was still flowing.
However, their brows were tightly furrowed, and their bodies twitched from time to time, as if something strange was moving left and right in their bodies, as if they wanted to crawl out!
Cheng Yu’er shivered. She knew that Lin Yan didn’t want to reveal himself in front of these puppets, so she quickly brought Hua Ling to a sealed room.
As soon as she closed the door, she heard a familiar voice from the thigh. “Does your intuition tell you what to do next?”
Hua Ling’s expression immediately turned to shock. She turned around and looked at Lin Yan in shock.
“Sister Hua Ling! This is the brother who killed a Black Grade Noble Realm cultivator and saved me. He was also the one who saved us along the way just now!”
Hua Ling looked at Lin Yan deeply. “Thank you!”
Lin Yan nodded and looked at Cheng Yu’er again.
Cheng Yu’er blinked. “My intuition only tells me that there will be a chance to escape after coming here. However, 1 don’t know what to do…”
Lin Yan was constantly paying attention to the strange energy fluctuation around him and did not notice anything unusual.
He said in a low voice, “Your previous intuition was that we would look for Old Master Qian together. However, when we found Old Master Qian, he was dead!” Cheng Yu’er sensed it again and said confidently, “My intuition tells me that we are on the right path!”
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. Cheng Yu’er’s so-called intuition was indeed extremely strange as she could emit that strange fluctuation, but whether it would succeed or not was still to be verified.
He couldn’t rush it. If Cheng Yu’er’s intuition was really wrong, he could also activate the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and use the digging method to leave District B16. However, without a map, it would be even more troublesome to run around in the Chaotic Fog and find human settlements.
With nothing to do, Lin Yan turned to look at Hua Ling. “Do you know many secrets of the Chaotic Fog? Can you introduce the Encircled Hunt in detail? And the information you know about the Chaotic Fog?”
Hua Ling opened her mouth and sighed. “I was originally wondering how the Encircled Hunt turned into a mixed riot of puppets and Chaotic Fog.. However, when I saw you and the Dark Shadow Skins that died inexplicably just now, 1 was no longer surprised…”
