Xu Shijie stared at Jiang Lin, the expression on his face gradually became ferocious, and then he raised his head and laughed: "I've seen something wrong with you a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be such a trouble. This time I count you lucky, we will see you another day!"
With that said, he turned around and ran away. He alone could not be the opponent of these people. It would be a good idea to expose the matter.
"Hmph! I want to run!"
After Liu Yuan found out that he was responsible for the secret conspiracy, he was furious and called a few cronies to chase him.
When everyone who stayed behind saw this scene, they breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and looked at Jiang Lin with gratitude. If Jiang Lin hadn't found out, they might have been killed.
At this time, Wang Lin put away her sword, walked to Jiang Lin and asked, "How did you find out?"
"You forgot that I told you that this guy is weird. From the first moment I saw him, I felt something was wrong with him."
"Then what is he trying to get in here? Is he trying to make money?" As soon as Wang Lin finished speaking, she felt stupid. She united with the monsters to attack a caravan. The purpose was definitely not money.
"Who knows, I hope Liu will catch him and the truth will come to light." As he spoke, Jiang Lin glanced at the green woods in the distance, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
About half an hour later, Liu Yuan brought his people back, but there was no sign of Xu Shijie, so it was obvious that he had not been caught.
Liu Yuan came over and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and said: "Fortunately you found it in time this time, otherwise all our brothers would have fallen into his trap. I will definitely report it to the big shopkeeper when I get back, and the reward will definitely not be there." There will be less.”
"Then thank Brother Liu in advance." Jiang Lin thanked him with a smile.
Liu Yuan changed the subject and asked: "Seriously, so many of us didn't notice when he poisoned him. How did you find out?"
Since Jiang Lin and the three of them passed the Hexuan Chamber of Commerce competition together, Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of something.
"I am naturally sensitive to some drugs. It's not that he showed his flaws when he poisoned me." Jiang Lin answered simply, as if he had been prepared for it.
Liu Yuan didn't ask further questions, just praised him a few times and walked away.
After the rain passed, the caravan was on the road again, and it was uneventful for more than half a month. Just when everyone thought that the journey would be smooth, the accident happened again.
It was a misty morning, which greatly hindered the view, and the surrounding area exuded a damp and rotten smell.
When the convoy passed through a dense forest, a towering old tree suddenly shook violently, and its thick branches were like arms, grabbing several people together with their horses.
"Ahh..." These people were horrified. As soon as they shouted, countless vines tightly entangled them, rain of blood splashed everywhere, and they were crushed in the blink of an eye.
The sudden change shocked everyone. Liu Yuan reacted quickly and shouted: "It's a tree spirit, use thunder and fire!"
After a moment of panic, Liu Yuan's words made them immediately regain their composure, disperse and attack with thunder and fire.
This thing was made of fire, wood, and saltpeter. It exploded with great force. Dozens of thunderbolts hit it, and sawdust flew all over the tree spirit. It looked like it suffered a big loss.
Jiang Lin and Wang Lin looked at each other and said, "Something's wrong!"
Jiang Lin clamped his legs and rode a horse towards the distance. He picked up a few thunder fires from other people's hands. With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of flames rose up. After lighting the thunder fire, he looked in the right direction and threw it hard!
With a deafening roar, the surrounding mist instantly thinned a little.
Looking back, I saw that there was no shadow of the tree spirit anywhere. It was clearly just a big tree that could not move, but it had been damaged by the thunder and fire. As for the people who had just died, they just fainted on the ground. .
"I've been hit!" Liu Yuan said with experience. He naturally knew what was going on. Before he could thank Jiang Lin, he looked around, as if he wanted to find the person hiding in the dark.
After Jiang Lin blasted away one of the flower demons, he was still searching for the other flower demons. Then, at this moment, a branch suddenly appeared from the ground and penetrated Jiang Lin.
The latter reacted quickly and turned over from the horse's back. The pitiful horse was directly punctured and neighed in pain.
"You are really troublesome..."
In the dense forest, a familiar voice came. Xu Shijie walked over slowly and looked at Jiang Lin's face, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile. The corners of his mouth were stained with blood. He didn't know what he had just eaten.
At this time, Liu Yuan also brought people over. Seeing that Xu Shijie dared to appear in front of them, he said: "How dare you come back."
"Why don't you dare? This is your burial place today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding woods began to rumble, as if something huge was coming. In the blink of an eye, five or six tree spirits walked over. They were seven or eight feet tall, like giants. The bark of the tree was glowing with a metallic luster. The facial features were printed on the torso, and the bloody mouth was particularly ferocious.
When Liu Yuan saw this, his expression was very ugly. He didn't know how to deal with a tree spirit. These five or six tree spirits, even if their number doubled again, were no match for these tree spirits.
"Do it." Xu Shijie stopped talking nonsense and took the lead. He turned into an afterimage and came to Jiang Lin. His hands were cold and his fingers were slightly spread. He swept towards Jiang Lin's neck at a speed that was so fast that it was impossible to use. Eyes to catch.
Liu Yuan was shocked by his amazing change. If he was really capable, why did he run away before?
However, these tree spirits didn't give him time to think, and came directly to kill them. The tree bark was as hard as fine iron and was difficult to damage with swords. The branches and vines would open and close with the swing of their hands, and they would die if they touched them.
However, these tree spirits are very clumsy in their movements and have no other means. It is not easy to kill everyone at once.
When the stalemate started here, Jiang Lin had already exchanged several blows. Faced with Xu Shijie's continuous attacks, Jiang Lin calmly responded to them, resolving them one by one, and even switched from defense to offense, leaving Xu Shijie in a hurry.
The more Xu Shijie fought, the more frightened he became. The expression on his face was very wonderful. He knew very well how strong he was now. Even if he called Liu Yuan over, he could beat him with one hand and make him look like teeth on the ground.
But this brat who is still young can actually be on par with me!
"Huh!" Xu Shijie scolded angrily. He slowly raised his hands and muttered something in his mouth. Wisps of black energy appeared on his hands. In the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood on his hands was corroded away, leaving only the eerie white. Fog and traces of black air.
Xu Shijie looked at the masterpiece he was satisfied with, laughed evilly, and attacked Jiang Lin again, with a fierce attack, completely intending to exchange his life for his life.
"witchcraft!"
Jiang Lin sneered, waved his hands, and flames instantly burst out from his palms, tightly wrapping Jiang Lin's hands and arms, and billowing heat waves spread in all directions.
"You are a monk!" Xu Shijie's eyes suddenly widened. He no longer had any desire to fight, so he changed hands and ran away.
But Jiang Lin naturally couldn't give him this chance. He rushed forward and stuck to him. Wherever the punch passed, rolling flames rushed in. Xu Shijie's bone hand received two hard punches. Not only did he feel the terrifying power, but The burning pain made him even more miserable.
"I've recorded today's grudge!" Xu Shijie swallowed something in his mouth, a layer of black energy lingering all over his body, and his whole body turned into a light and shadow and galloped away.
"cut!"
Jiang Lin pulled his hands and slashed out a cyan light blade. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Xu Shijie and cut him in half.
But with just a scream, the light and shadow condensed again, and disappeared into the vast mountain forest in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that one blow failed to kill him, Jiang Lin felt regretful. He looked back at the battle situation on the other side and saw that it was already one-sided.
Liu Yuan led the crowd to resist the attack of the tree spirit, and more than half of them were killed or injured. He just saw Jiang Lin showing off his power. At this moment, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said to Jiang Lin: "Brother Jiang, please help our brothers." If I get through this difficult time for the first time, I will repay you in the future even if I am shattered into pieces."
However, Wang Lin disagreed at this time. The strength of these tree spirits was not weak. She and Jiang Lin could save their lives, but it was impossible to kill all the tree spirits and save these people.
These dryads are hard to damage with swords. Apart from the fire-attribute magic power, there is nothing they can do about it. However, the two of them have only just opened their eyes, and how many times can they cast the Five Elements spell.
Just when Jiang Lin was in trouble, a small black spot suddenly appeared at the end of the sky, and it flew over in just a few breaths.
"interesting."
The speaker was a man wearing a green gown, a raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a burgundy gourd hanging from his waist.
He made a seal with both hands, and fire snakes spiraled out from behind and rushed downwards, making a deafening roar.
The fire snake did not hit the dryads, but landed not far away. Hot waves of fire poured out in all directions. The nearest dryads were thrown away one after another, letting out panicked wails.
Even everyone in Jianglin felt the heat wave coming towards their faces and quickly turned around to resist.
Monk!
This was the thought in the minds of everyone present. Jiang and Lin were okay, after all, they had met before, but Liu Yuan and others were so shocked that they were speechless.
After drinking away the tree spirits, the man in green fell down. Seeing this, Liu Yuan quickly stepped forward to pay homage: "Hexuan Chamber of Commerce pays homage to the Immortal Master and thanks the Immortal Master for his rescue."
The man in green didn't say anything. He raised his hand and lifted the cover on one of the carriages, revealing the contents inside.
On top of the carriage is a stone half as tall as a man, with green and red colors. It looks very beautiful, and if you get closer, you can feel the slightest chill.
"I asked how these grass and tree monsters would attack a few of you mortals. It turns out that you have a cold and warm stone here, and it's such a big piece." The man in green smacked his lips and looked very surprised.
Liu Yuan nodded and said in response: "Immortal master, I hope this strange stone will be sent to the cave of an immortal master. Unexpectedly, I met a tree spirit on the way."
"You are very lucky to have met me, otherwise these tree spirits would not give up. They regard treasures of wood and stone as life. You don't need to be grateful to me. I will take part of this cold and warm stone as a reward for taking action. You won't Do you mind."
How dare Liu Yuan object, he agreed immediately, and then the man in green turned his hand into a sword, split the stone in two, flicked his long sleeve, and put it directly into it.
After doing all this, he turned around and glanced at Jiang Lin, then fixed his eyes on Wang Lin. He asked with some uncertainty: "I sensed the aura of my Immortal Ascension Order in you, right?"
