“We can save him. That’s all right…” Barney tries to comfort them. The Bushmen put toxic tree sap on their spears and they can kill something like a gazelle or a wild ox. Barney is afraid that if a conflict happens, the four of them will die here.
One of the Bushmen is watching them with alert. Soon, some come and take the sheik away. They drum Lin Luoran and others out of their tribe.
Although there are three cultivators, Lin Luoran cannot cast any spells to deal with these poor people. Wen Guanjing is called “ST” or “sticker” by some foreign cultivators, but he is not doing anything as well. He is not a malicious person.
They don’t have any option now that the sheik has passed out and the Bushmen don’t allow them to rescue him. They can only wait until the sheik wakes up and then they can ask him about the murals.
The Bushmen keeps the fire burning all night. Keeping away the beasts is one reason. Another reason is that the tempe
Looking for a person in the desert?The young Bushman sheik looks around and avoids eye contact. He doesn’t want to go at all.They have to take the sheik with them, and that means they have to take Barney as well. Lin Luoran can tell that the former is unwilling to go with them and the latter is unwilling as well.For Baojia’s safety, Lin Luoran cannot wait at all. She moves her fingers and cleaves the ground with a golden light. The ground splits up as if it is chopped by a sharp blade. The crack she made is about eight-meters deep and Lin Luoran actually controls that. The sheik and Barney are greatly shocked.The sheik bows down to the sky and grants her request with the look of “I know I’ll die a heroic death but that’s fine”. His only request is very simple: leaving people of his tribe alone.Lin Luoran is surprised. She just wants to show them that she can protect them all, but the sheik obviously misunderstands
At noon, the sun is shining and heating the ground. There was no wind a moment ago. However, just as Lin Luoran figures out the strangeness of this place, the wind blows up the sand and there is sand everywhere.This sudden wind is like the wind that blew before Baojia’s disappearance.Lin Luoran notices that Wen Guanjing’s eyes become back to normal after he stays inside the square “base” surrounded by stones for a while. However, Barney and Yakee who are bound outside the “base”, are still struggling like two insane beasts.Indeed, Wen Guanjing was sane at first. His eyes became red after he got out to stop them… There is something wrong with the place outside the relic!As Lin Luoran figures this out, she uses another two water ropes and drags Barney and Yakee in. Her guess is correct. The furious Bushmen calm down slowly after they get inside.Wen Guanjing is still in shock, “Sister Lin, this place is so weird. Let
The reason why the scorpions stop attacking them is that they want to welcome their king.It is obviously the Scorpion King. Lin Luoran cannot tell whether it has become a spirit or not. She clenches her sword tightly and asks Wen Guanjing, “Do we still have monsters today?”Wen Guanjing shows an unhappy face, “Sister Lin, today the world is in chaos and Reiki is unstable. Human cultivators have means to suppress Reiki, but beast cultivators can only absorb Reiki in and they cannot transfer Reiki. How can they survive after taking in large amount of unstable Reiki?” By answering the question, he tells her that they are “beast cultivators” rather than “monsters”.Lin Luoran looks at the huge “king”. If it is not a beast cultivator, it must be a spirit creature. Some species of creatures are strong and they are living safe and sound in this world where Reiki is unstable, such as Goldie, the giant turtle deep in the sea at Bermuda and this giant s
What should the world under the desert look like?Endless sand? Dark without light? No air? People dying from suffocation once getting in… Actually, it is more like a maze. There are a lot of zigzag tunnels and hundreds of branch roads. Some are wide and some are narrow; some lead to somewhere and some lead to nowhere.In a wide branch road, there is a sparkling light on the wall. It might be the luminous component in the rock. In the faint light, the girl lying on the ground finally wakes up.Lin Luoran feels that she has broken every bone of her.She holds her body up by one arm and sits up slowly. The pain reminds her of what happened before — the relic collapsed and the ground became fluid and took them down. It was more powerful than her “Hurricane Spell”. They were all taken down without time to react, and then… She lost consciousness.As for the wound on her back, Lin Luoran assumes that it was caused by the pin
The cyan fox does put a piece of sealwort on the ground, and the sealwort is at least 100 years old. This little fox is so smart and nice. Lin Luoran has heard of stories about “fox returning favors”. However, she is sure that she has never helped this little fox. Since the 100-year-old sealwort is not a gift of gratitude, does it mean that the fox wants Lin’s help? Usually, Lin Luoran would patiently try to figure out the intention of the fox. But now, she has been looking for Baojia and Wen Guanjing for two days, and she found nothing. She really doesn’t have the patience for the fox. Lin Luoran doesn’t take the sealwort. The fox gets anxious and angry. Its round eyes are watery and shiny. It turns and leaves without the sealwort. The fox soon disappears in the tunnels. Lin sighs. If she had the time, she would be happy to help the little fox. It’s such a pity… Looking at the back of the fox, Lin feels guilty. She leaves the sealwort and g
Lin Luoran knows how sharp the teeth of the gophers are. In this situation, she won’t wait for these ferocious creatures to get any closer. Lin waves the Bright Sword and cuts the web. The huge gopher with gray whiskers gets angry. It commands the gophers to rush at Lin. The cave is quite large, and the gophers can’t eject venom like the scorpions did. Lin waves her sword and the gophers rushing at her are dead. Seeing the flesh and blood of the dead gophers, the living ones get mad. They come at Lin in groups. The cyan little fox is scared. It hides its head deeper into Lin’s arms. Lin surrounds herself with a firewall and easily kills all the gophers inside the wall. Those outside can’t get in at the moment. A stream of red light gathers on Lin’s fingertip. She is preparing for the “Fire Arrow Spell”.Destroy the leader and the gang will collapse. If the gophers don’t back off, she will have to kill the huge gopher with a fire arrow. This i
“Sorry that I mistook you…” It’s easy to realize the mistake, but Lin feels awkward to apologize to the foxes. Lin Luoran knows now that she is not always right, and she is embarrassed. The white fox just looks at Lin quietly. The cyan fox is too young to understand why Lin is saying sorry. It is only happy that Lin is here. Lin looks at the cyan little fox with regret. Humans are strange. To be frank, the cyan fox was wrong for stealing the sealwort even though it tried to help a man. However, when the man it tried to save is Lin’s friend, Lin can’t help feeling thankful. She squats down and checks on Wen. Lin is worried because he seems to be in a bad condition. He is burning up!No wonder he looks lifeless. Covered with mud, his face is burning up like a furnace. He looks pale. Lin touches Wen’s forehead and her hand is almost burned. Wen is a cultivator in the level of Training Qi. There is no way that he just
“Boom— ” Fire bursts out. Though Lin has reacted immediately and hides into her space, a stream of Strange Fire gets inside of her body. Lin’s Sea of Reiki starts to burn. The Wakan and Reiki inside are disturbed. Standing in the space, Lin is stunned. It’s not because of the abnormality inside of her body. Two animals are on the roof of the log cabin. — Wait, are they really just animals?In fact, the fire phoenix and the silver fish are feeling wronged. Even though the fire phoenix was tempted and worried about the Strange Fire, it didn’t expect that Lin would hide into the space the second the flame touches her!The two of them didn’t get the chance to hide…It’s the first time Lin has ever met the fire phoenix. But isn’t the silver fish the guardian of the ice grass? Lin stares at the two creatures floating over the log cabin. The fire phoenix and the silver fish come back to themselves from the shock. The phoenix casts a regr
