New and dark light years

Chapter 252 Getting a Tiger Cub

Han Qing used his lightness technique to move nimbly through the woods, trying his best to shake off the pursuing crowd, but to no avail.

His fellow disciples have been helping to hold off the enemy's pursuit from the rear, but the effect is not very obvious.

He ran breathlessly, running without thinking.

We must desperately try to get into the woods; only in such places can we possibly escape the enemy.

At the same time, he subconsciously touched the direction of his right waist, where a bag was hanging, containing the 'extraordinary treasures' that had recently appeared in Huaxi County.

A bead with a dragon pattern hidden inside.

It also glows.

Even if you don't know its specific effects, just wearing it on your body can make you feel light and energetic, and your vital energy will circulate more smoothly.

It was indeed a rare treasure from the immortals, so he was even less likely to give it to anyone else.

If he gets it, it's his.

They ran quickly through the woods, but the sounds of pursuit and fighting behind them continued unabated.

As I ran, I heard strange bird calls echoing through the woods.

After running for a while, they spotted a building ahead.

His eyes lit up.

Such a large building must make it difficult for people to talk to each other, but every disadvantage has its advantages.

As long as I sneak in, the people behind me will inevitably clash with the owner of this place, and I can take the opportunity to slip away.

Thinking this, he quickened his pace, but just as he was about to get close, he suddenly heard the sound of drums coming from inside. A group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the outer wall. To Han Qing's surprise, these soldiers actually took out longbows and were preparing to shoot.

If they were still some distance apart, Han Qing would not have been intimidated by this display of force.

But now the two sides are quite close.

Han Qing exerted all his strength and sped towards that place.

"How dare you thieves!" Zhou Huan, who was standing on the high platform next to him, saw this scene and shouted angrily, "Shoot!"

But it's still too late.

Because Han Qing was too close to the outer wall, and his lightness skill was quite good, he rushed to the foot of the outer wall in less than two breaths, and then leaped over the heads of the archers.

At that moment, the archers had just nocked their arrows.

They immediately turned to face Han Qing.

Han Qing was very clever and immediately went after Zhou Huan.

The archers naturally dared to fire their bows.

At that moment, more martial arts practitioners rushed out of the woods and jumped over the heads of the archers.

Then even more people from the martial arts world jumped in.

Before long, more than thirty people entered the place.

Zhou Huan was so angry that he jumped up and down: "How dare you, you scoundrel! How dare you, you scoundrel!"

Han Qing jumped over Zhou Huan's head; he wasn't foolish enough to use the official as a shield.

People in the martial arts world are reckless, not stupid.

The martial arts figures who entered later shared the same philosophy; they might attack the soldiers, but no one bothered to touch Zhou Huan.

After all, that official robe was quite conspicuous.

So, a group of more than thirty people started making a scene in the Lingtaijian branch compound.

When Li Lin saw this scene, he was actually a little dumbfounded.

He crouched in the dark corner, watching the group of more than thirty people leaping around, throwing hidden weapons with a whoosh, and playing hide-and-seek with each other.

Although armies theoretically have an advantage once they form a battle formation, the enemy has already invaded the interior, and there are complex terrains with varying elevations, so the role of the army is reduced to a minimum.

Some daring江湖人士 (jianghu figures) would even poison soldiers who dared to obstruct them.

Soon the entire Spirit Guardian Academy was in chaos.

Seeing the chaotic situation around him, Li Lin was too lazy to move. He found a narrow and dark corner, squatted down there, and started watching the show.

He watched as several top experts attacked the roof from the ground, and then from the roof to the outside.

Li Lin discovered that these experts were at least of the fourth rank or higher.

Three people even glanced discreetly at the spot where he was 'hiding'.

Although they didn't see Li Lin, their intuition told them that there was some danger there.

Subconsciously, he avoided the place where Li Lin was, not wanting to get close.

Han Qing's idea was actually correct. As long as they could play hide-and-seek in the Lingtai Prison courtyard, it would indeed cause trouble and confusion for the pursuers behind them.

But the problem is... he doesn't know the secret here.

At that moment, there was a bead in the bag at his waist, emitting a faint glow.

This light is invisible to others, but visible to some.

For example, the centipede in the sky, the shadow in the bronze cauldron, and Li Lin wearing a mask.

Moreover, the eyes of the first two were becoming increasingly envious.

At this moment, Li Lin sensed something was wrong. He noticed the greed in the centipede's huge eyes and also saw the urgency of the shadowy snake-man.

Li Lin sensed that something was wrong.

These two 'things' are clearly not to be trifled with, and given the current chaotic situation, if they stay here any longer, something terrible is bound to happen.

Li Lin looked around and prepared to leave, intending to return to Xiangcheng through the tunnel.

Just then, Li Lin's gaze suddenly fell upon a member of the Lingtai Guard who screamed and collapsed to the ground. He crawled forward a few meters and then fell still.

Two throwing knives were stuck in the man's back.

People in the martial arts world are really ruthless.

Similar situations have occurred repeatedly.

People in the martial arts world are starting to lose control.

Li Lin's gaze then fell on the face of the deceased, and he paused for a moment.

He remembered that this was the person responsible for 'leading' the True Lord, and he had a copper bell and a red rope on his body.

He looked around and, finding no one paying attention, quietly went over and dragged the man's body to a dark place. After searching the body for a while, he quickly found the strange copper bell.

And it was indeed connected by a clump of red thread.

Li Lin immediately put the thing in his pocket and then quietly made his way towards the tunnel.

Several times during the journey, those martial arts practitioners or soldiers passed by him not far away, but fortunately, none of them noticed him or bumped into him. Otherwise, Li Lin would have been knocked out of his stealth state.

He arrived at the entrance to the tunnel without any major incident.

Then he looked up and saw a giant centipede in the sky, its eyes fixed on the person below, chasing after the person whose body was covered in glowing beads.

The black-eyed man was also watching him.

Li Lin didn't know the man's name, but he knew that the man was probably in for some bad luck.

This kind of situation is beyond what he, a lone wolf, can handle.

We then entered the tunnel.

The little paper figure that was still in the tunnel sent a message that there were three people hiding in the tunnel as well.

However, they all stayed at the 'True Lord Pool'.

True Lord Pool is the name Li Lin gave to that huge secret chamber.

It feels like a hero pool in a game, waiting for people to choose.

Li Lin stealthily arrived here and first saw a large number of True Monarchs standing there dumbfounded, and then he saw the three of them.

They stood on the left, waiting anxiously.

"Why hasn't our elder brother returned yet?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Everyone said they would leave once he arrived, so why did he insist on taking that ghost-binding bell?"

"Once you take our money, you'll have a good life. Just escape to the north and you can make tons of money."

"Yes, yes, let's wait a little longer."

The three waited a while longer, but Li Lin was already getting impatient.

These three were all ordinary people. Even if they had some martial arts skills, they were still very ordinary. In Li Lin's eyes, they were no different from ordinary people.

It would be easy to knock these three unconscious.

But just as Li Lin was about to make a move, the ground suddenly began to shake.

It was as if an earth dragon had turned over.

Dust fell from above, soaking the four people.

Li Lin's body was inevitably covered in a layer of dust.

It reveals a visible outline.

Fortunately, Li Lin was hiding behind an altar, so the three men didn't see him.

They paused for a moment, then looked up.

One person said, "It sounds like it came from above. With such a big commotion, something serious must have happened up there."

Then the three of them exclaimed in unison, "Big Brother is still up there!"

Then all three of them ran frantically toward the tunnel.

After they left, Li Lin came out and scanned all the True Lords present.

He planned to kidnap one of them.

But even those who are bound can be brought back to life.

The stronger the True Lord, the more damage the paper doll that can be made to protect its master from.

Even the True Lord who was made into a substitute paper figure still had a certain level of consciousness before the 'immunity from death' effect was triggered.

Essentially, this is a special paper puppet that you control but can still do things for you.

Therefore, Li Lin wanted to choose someone who looked evil, so that he wouldn't feel too guilty about making that person into a paper doll.

He watched for a while, and finally his gaze fell on a chimpanzee.

This True Lord really looks like a chimpanzee, with long hair and only one eye showing.

Li Lin took the copper bell out of his pocket, shook it gently, and then let go, throwing the bell onto the chimpanzee.

The copper bell spontaneously wrapped itself around the chimpanzee.

Li Lin gave it a gentle tug and found that he could indeed pull the other person off the altar.

He immediately took the chimpanzee with him and left, as if he were leading a balloon.

He returned to the underground of the Tang Mansion in Xiangcheng through the tunnel.

The little paper figure above is sending a message that the surroundings are safe and there is no one around.

He then opened the tunnel entrance and came out. He closed the tunnel entrance again, covered it with charcoal ash, and piled charred wood on top.

After doing all this, he led Zhenjun toward the paper mill's warehouse.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and Li Lin used his lightness skill to walk on the rooftop, so no one saw the red thread he was holding.

Otherwise, it would be strange if an ordinary person didn't be terrified to see a red line floating in mid-air.

Back in the storeroom, Li Lin tied the red rope to the table leg to prevent Zhenjun from flying away like a balloon.

At the same time, Li Lin noticed that the chimpanzee lord seemed to be a bit small in size.

Because this is not a possessing ghost, the yin energy on its body will gradually disappear after it leaves the altar.

It seems we need to hurry up and make the first paper doll.

The paper and cinnabar are ready, but another very important material is still missing.

Heart's blood.

Li Lin left the storeroom again, sneaked into the pharmacy, and stole a few silver needles.

Of course, he also left a silver note to compensate the shopkeeper for the loss.

Back in the warehouse, Li Lin first made the mold for the paper doll, and then drew runes on it.

Next, I made a square box out of paper, poured in half a box of water, and put the silver needles inside.

Finally, the lit candle was placed at the bottom of the box to serve as firewood for boiling the water inside.

After a while, the white paper was burned black, but it did not catch fire. The water in the box was not much, and it boiled quickly.

Li Lin took the cardboard box off the stand, waited for it to cool down a bit, poured out the water, and picked up a silver needle from it, holding it in his hand.

Then he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his chest.

He suddenly plunged the silver needle in.

It was quick, and it hurt a lot!

Li Lin's lips twitched involuntarily.
