Strange Stories

Chapter 567: Strong Offensive

"Lin, Master Lin? May I ask if this immortal is the legendary Master Lin?" A ship merchant came over and asked carefully.

Lin Jue looked at them and did not answer, but asked:

"Where do you come from?"

This can also be considered as a kind of indirect recognition.

Suddenly everyone swarmed over.

"We were originally from the coastal areas of Cangzhou and Langzhou in Dayu. We were out sailing when we were accidentally swept away by this demon king... a demon. He asked us to be craftsmen and build him a palace that looks like the one in heaven."

Many ship merchants seemed to have accumulated a lot of fear and grievances, which they had been suppressing. Now that they had seen a deity who spoke the same language as themselves, and who was most likely the immortal Lin whom they had heard of since childhood, and the monster that had been harming them had been eliminated, they let out all their anger:

"We are just ship merchants. We don't know how to build a palace. We can only negotiate and deal with it. By the time it finds out something is wrong, it will probably die."

"How many people did you have originally?"

"There are several scattered groups, about forty or so."

“How much is left now?”

"There are about twenty left."

"How did the others die?"

"Some were unwilling to build a palace for it, so it ate them alive. Some were frightened to death. Some died of illness because they were not well fed or clothed, and they were not used to the climate and water. Sometimes, we built a palace that did not satisfy it, so it realized that we were stalling for time, or thought we were being lazy, so it ate two people at random."

As the ship merchants and craftsmen spoke, they all covered their faces and shed tears.

Someone else knelt down on the ground:
"Master Lin! After we were captured, we begged you before. Please take us back!"

"I am not a god, I don't eat incense, and I can't hear people's prayers."

Lin Jue was about to say that they should pray to Jade Emperor and Purple Emperor, but after thinking about it, he let it go - they were from the south, and the main deity they worshipped was Jade Emperor, and Purple Emperor was the Emperor of Heaven. For people who were in desperate situations, they should have prayed to all the gods they could think of.

But for various reasons, no one responded.

For example, this place is too far away from the land, so Emperor Yujian may not have this intention. Emperor Zi certainly has this intention, but he is farther away. In addition, their energy is now focused on eliminating demons in Jiazi. The demons eliminated here are all demons in the territory of Dayu on land. Although there are people from Dayu here, there are only dozens of people after all, so it is normal that they cannot be taken care of.

So Lin Jue just asked: "Is your boat still there?"

“It’s long gone…”

"The monster wanted to stop us from leaving, so it brought us here and then destroyed and sank all the ships."

"It did say that after the palace was built, it would send us back and give us gold and silver treasures. But let's not talk about the fact that we couldn't build the palace at all. It ate so many people, including many giants on this island, so it's impossible for it to let us go back."

"Even if we have a boat, it's impossible to sail back in this vast ocean, with no idea of ​​the direction or how far we are from the land..."

"Please use your magic to send us home!"

"We will use our entire lives to support the Immortal!"

Everyone looked at Lin Jue and also looked around at his third senior brother and younger junior sister behind him.

"Don't look at me. How can I have such ability?" said the third brother. "Let's ask Master Lin for help."

"Don't worry, everyone. You can take a nap and we'll be back on shore when you wake up." Lin Jue said, "I asked if your boat is still there. I just wanted to bring it back for you."

Several people were suddenly overjoyed and even felt unbelievable, as if they were dreaming.

"Thank you, Masato!"

"Thank you, Masato!"

"Anyone else?"

"It's all here."

"Okay then." Lin Jue waved towards the distance and said, "Remember, you don't need to offer sacrifices to me when you return."

The ten-foot-tall giant crab, the ten-foot-tall shrimp warrior, and the fish monsters and sea monsters of various appearances were still fighting, and they were evenly matched, making the fight difficult to determine.

Six out of the seven foxes were watching intently, and only one turned its head to look over.

Then the fox jumped lightly, its body light and graceful, and suddenly it flew across the sky and jumped over.

But before it landed on the ground, the colorful cat next to the junior sister jumped over and suddenly opened its mouth and spit.

"call……"

A puff of smoke flew out.

As soon as everyone smelled the smoke, they immediately fell asleep.

"Let me do it."

The younger sister was afraid that her senior brother's thundercloud would be too fast and would throw them out of the sky and kill them in the sea, so she stretched out her hand and separated one of her own colorful clouds.

With another raise of his other hand, many ship merchants flew up and landed on the colorful clouds.

"Chen Niu, Chen Niu."

"My name is Chen Niu!"

A little devil appeared out of nowhere.

"Take Caiyun with you and send them back to the city on the coast of Cangzhou." Why are you leading the way recently?

Chen Niu hid his joy in his heart, his face remained serious, and he immediately turned to look at Caiyun:

"Go this way!"

The colorful clouds slowly rose into the sky and flew into the distance.

Lin Jue looked at the group of sirens that were still fighting.

Thunderclouds immediately floated over them.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning with countless forks descended, appearing almost purple-red. Each fork touched the ground and was connected to a siren.

In an instant, all the sirens fell to the ground stiffly.

With a swish! The fox turned his head and looked at Lin Jue.

"Don't tease others casually, and don't take pleasure in it, even if they are heinous criminals." Lin Jue patted its head, "Change back quickly."

"Isn't it good to have too many foxes?"

"It's very noisy."

"You're the one making the most noise!"

The seven foxes turned their heads at the same time and spoke in unison.

Although the fox said this, he also jumped towards the middle.

Six of the foxes got inside one fox.

Lin Jue thought that the fox that ran to his side would be the real fox, but he never expected that it was another fox that looked completely normal.

This also shows Fuyao's attainments in the art of clones -

It seemed to be more suitable for this magic than the Queen Mother of the East, and was naturally better at disguise and acting. The clones it created were not only very close in strength to the original one, but there was no difference at all. Even Lin Jue, who lived with foxes all day, could not tell the difference between the original and the clone after talking with it for a long time.

At this time, the voice of the third brother was heard:

"You two masters are really capable! As their senior brother, I feel a little jealous and ashamed."

"If you concentrate on your practice, you can also have this ability, but your mind and life are elsewhere." Lin Jue said, pretending to be puzzled and retorting, "Why didn't you see Princess Hua? Could it be that in the past few decades, you have fulfilled your promise to Princess Hua, and you have separated. Is the third brother free and easy on his own?"

The junior sister couldn't help but look solemn just by listening.

What a strong offensive!
“…Here.”

The third senior brother awkwardly reached into his arms and took out the soul-nourishing bead.

"Brother, why do you hold Princess Hua in your arms? Even if you are not afraid of physical contact between men and women, you are not afraid of suffocating Princess Hua." Lin Jue frowned.

The junior sister held her breath and listened attentively.

A wisp of white smoke floated out, fell to the ground, and turned into a woman in red.

The woman in red smiled and saluted them.

The brother and sister both returned the greeting immediately. Even the fox and raccoon beside them returned the greeting properly, but they had not transformed into human form, so their actions inevitably looked a little funny.

"So Princess Hua is still here. It seems that the world is indeed vast, especially overseas. I haven't traveled all these years." Lin Jue nodded repeatedly, "That's good. My senior brother is very playboy. He really needs someone to tie him down. Otherwise, he will die outside without knowing when."

The third brother wanted to explain, but he hesitated.

Princess Hua smiled and said:

"This guy is sometimes thick-skinned and sometimes thin-skinned. It's better not to clean him up anymore."

"Haha!" Lin Jue smiled and reached into his bag again, taking out two Yuanqiu fruits. "These are Yuanqiu fruits that I planted myself. This is the first time they have ripened and they are the first batch to ripen. Because of their unique taste and longevity effects, I brought them here specially for you, Brother and Princess Hua, to have a taste."

"Immortal tree? Yuanqiu fruit?"

"What a great thing! Thanks to my junior brother again."

The two of them took the fruit without hesitation.

The third brother took a deep breath and couldn't help saying:

"I have been traveling around the world for many years and have heard of this thing, but I haven't found it yet. I didn't expect that my junior brother has already planted it! I have long said that my junior brother should be the master of the temple!"

"You'd better shut up." Princess Hua said, "I'll make you blush later."

"How can you be so rude, woman?"

"Then go ahead."

It's interesting how these two get along.

Lin Jue and his junior sister couldn't help but look at each other.

Looking back, whether it was the first meeting in the wilderness or the first time Third Brother brought Princess Hua back, those were all many years ago.
