New and dark light years

Chapter 391 I really deserve to die

Li Lin, along with eleven hunters from Yulin County, sat in a restaurant, feasting and drinking.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the owner refused to cook for them.

But Li Lin led his men in, took out the official seal and silver, and ordered them to cook.

The shop owner had no choice but to comply.

However, they were clearly not very attentive when cooking.

Li Lin had also guessed this, so he sent a spirit hunter to guard the cook.

Don't let these people spit or anything in there.

The restaurant owner and chef quickly cooked the dishes and served them.

Li Lin took a bite and had to admit, the dish tasted pretty good.

Li Lin pushed the silver over and said, "This should be enough."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Generally speaking, when officials come to eat, they don't pay the bill.

Even if they sell the silver, they'll take it back after a while.

He assumed that Li Lin and his group were the same.

But to my surprise, the other party actually gave me the money.

"Your superior told you to accept it, so accept it."

Bai Liwei picked up the silver, walked to the shopkeeper, and stuffed the silver into the shopkeeper's hand: "We are not the kind of people who force others to eat and drink. We really have something to do this time and need to come here to eat something. I don't know if the silver is enough."

"That's enough, that's enough." Feeling the heavy silver in his hand, the shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "There's still quite a bit more than you need."

"Consider the extra as a reward," Li Lin said from the side, taking another sip of wine.

I must say, the apricot wine here is really good, it tastes great, no wonder Magistrate Zhu recommended it.

"Then shall I cook a few more dishes for the adults?" The shopkeeper asked, finally pleased with himself as he took the money.

He's willing to do business as long as he's paid.

"No need, that's enough."

Li Lin and the others ate quite slowly, since an hour was a long time.

After more than half an hour, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Lin said, "Let's set off."

A group of people left in a flurry.

The shopkeeper hissed, watching Li Lin and the others leave with some surprise.

"This is the first time I've ever seen an official pay for his meal."

The waiter next to him, who was responsible for cleaning up the leftover food on the table, also exclaimed in amazement.

"Could it be counterfeit silver?" The chef also found it strange.

The shopkeeper replied irritably, "Nonsense, I've been in business for over ten years. How could I not tell if the money is real or fake?"

The chef looked embarrassed: "I was just saying it offhand."

Just then, a regular customer of the restaurant squeezed in through the door.

As soon as the other person came in, they said, "Shopkeeper, why are you open for business... Oh, so you received the news too."

"What news?" the shopkeeper asked, puzzled.

“A group of spirit hunters came from Yulin County. I heard that the leader is a very handsome young man. They came to help us in Cenxi fight ghosts.”

"Ah!" The shopkeeper was taken aback.

He remembered; Li Lin was indeed the most handsome man he had ever seen.

The regular customer laughed and said, "Now I can rest assured. With such an important person coming to help, that monster in the north is probably doomed."

Snapped!
The shopkeeper suddenly slapped himself in the face.

A regular customer asked in surprise, "Do you have poisonous insects on your face? Why did you slap yourself for no reason?"

"I shouldn't have accepted this money, I deserve to die."

The shop owner felt like crying.

On the north side of the city, Li Lin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the black mist spreading in the distance.

Willow mirage floated beside him.

Ever since Li Lin was surrounded by a group of spirit hunters who could see her, Liu Shen has become very 'aloof'.

Unlike when she was alone in front of Li Lin, she didn't chatter on and on.

Li Lin asked in a low voice, "Little Mirage, how long did you fight that big shrimp last time?"

“I didn’t fight for long,” Liu Shen said in a low voice. “I sprayed it with water three times, but I couldn’t break through its shell. Then, when I saw it was about to attack me, I had no choice but to run away.”

It turned out to be the case.

"How strong is the water you're spraying?" Li Lin pointed to a stone by the roadside and said, "Demonstrate it to me."

Liu Shen took a deep breath and suddenly spat out white water from her mouth.

It's called water, but it's actually ice.

A long ice spear pierced straight through the blue rock, creating a hole the size of a human head.

"That's quite powerful." Li Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Was that your full strength?"

Liu Shen nodded.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the spirit hunters nearby, but seeing that it was Li Lin and Liu Shen who made it, they glanced at it a few more times before looking away.

Li Lin walked to the stone and examined it again. He roughly knew how hard the insect's shell was.

At this moment, Bai Bufan walked over from the side and said with a smile, "Guardian Li, everyone is here. The Spirit Hunters from Cenxi Town have all arrived."

Li Lin turned around and waved to the people over there.

Two groups of people approached.

Li Lin said, "When we encounter the monster in the mountains, I'll be in charge of a frontal assault. Bai Liwei, Bai Bufan, and Yan Han, the three patrolmen, will attack its left and right flanks and rear, waiting for an opportunity to strike. As for the rest of you..."

Li Lin looked at the other Spirit Hunters and said with a smile, "I know you're not strong enough to be of much help. You can just watch from behind us, but... when I shout 'All-out attack,' you'll unleash all your skills, understand?" The Spirit Hunters all breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

"Now that we know, let's set off. Please lead the way, True Monarch Blue Scale."

Liu Shen nodded.

A group of people walked into the mountains, and at this moment Li Lin turned around and saw the True Lord's Dharma Image in Cenxi County slowly standing up.

He seemed to sense Li Lin's gaze and nodded slightly at him.

Li Lin also keenly noticed that this True Lord had been seriously injured.

Spirit hunters are all quite fast walkers because they eat blood rice, which gives them plenty of vitality, so they hardly even pant when they travel.

As time passed, the crowd felt the gloom and resentment in front of them growing stronger.

After another two incense sticks' worth of time, the group saw at the end of the mountain pass ahead a huge worm, a red worm that looked like a shrimp, lying there sleeping.

But when everyone saw it, it woke up and slowly raised its front half.

At this time, everyone was quite far away from it, but they could still see that when the thing raised its body, it was at least two zhang tall.

The spirit hunters of Cenxi were all trembling like leaves.

The hunters in Yulin County are relatively better off.

Li Lin threw down six paper figures, which transformed into six tree fairy goddesses protecting him.

Upon seeing the Tree Fairy, the usually aloof Liu Shen stopped pretending.

"Miss."

She suddenly flew down and hugged one of the tree fairies, rubbing against it vigorously.

And this tree fairy gently stroked Liu Shen's head and its two small horns.

Li Lin looked at the strangely moving tree fairy with a puzzled expression.

At that moment, the tree fairy behind suddenly flicked her tail, pulling the willow mirage that was holding "itself" back into the air.

Liu Shen rubbed her bottom and said aggrievedly, "Big sister...you always bully me."

Looking at these tree spirits, Li Lin felt that their behavior seemed a little strange.

At this moment, Bai Liwei said, "Li Xunshou, that thing is coming over."

Li Lin looked over and saw the other party rushing towards him.

Despite its enormous size, the ground didn't shake at all during its sprint, which is quite counterintuitive.

"Proceed according to the previous plan."

Upon hearing this, Bai Liwei, Bai Bufan, and Yan Han immediately separated.

The hunters in Cenxi County were all amazed when they saw it: What incredible speed!

At this moment, Liu Shen, who was floating in mid-air, let out a delicate shout, and a long white ice spear shot out from her mouth.

The ice spear was a little faster than before, and it struck the insect's head in an instant.

when!
With a crisp sound, the ice gun was bounced aside.

Liu Shen clicked her tongue in displeasure.

The Bone-Slaying Wine from Li Lin's sleeve slipped into his hand, and then the energy of heaven and earth suddenly changed.

Six bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, fast and fierce.

Li Lin used almost all his strength to unleash the Lightning Strike Spell this time.

The lightning strike spell, driven by spiritual power, is extremely powerful.

Six bolts of purple lightning, each as thick as a bowl, struck down, hitting the monster directly on the head.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The strange creature was instantly 'pinned' to the spot, its body jerking backward, almost tipping over.

At the same time, cracks appeared on its thick insect shell.

"Great!" Liu Shen shouted, "Its shell is about to crack. Give it your all! Once the shell cracks, I can stab its head off with one shot."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin took a deep breath and refocused his spiritual energy.

Because he had used almost all his strength just now, most of his spiritual energy was depleted, and he would need some time to cast the Lightning Strike Spell again.

This is also why he summoned the six paper figures—to protect himself.

At this moment, Bai Liwei called out, "County Commandant Li, please wait a moment."

Then, he and his nephew Bai Bufan each took out a circle of gold thread from their pockets, and then threw it onto the strange creature. The two gold threads simultaneously wrapped around the insect's huge body.

The two then ran into the nearby woods and wrapped the gold thread around different trees.

At this moment, the giant insect finally recovered from the shock of being struck by the heavenly lightning. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a cloud of thick black mist at Li Lin.

The thick fog was dark green and flew at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of Li Lin in no time.

However, Li Lin was accompanied by six tree fairy goddesses.

They immediately intertwined their tails, forming a large barrier for Li Lin, just like last time.

The thick fog hit the snake tail barrier and then bounced back to the nearby ground.

Then you could see the ground making a sizzling sound and bubbling.

Such a potent corrosive poison.

Everyone who saw it trembled with fear.

At this time, the Bai family uncle and nephew made a new move.

After each of them wrapped golden threads around several trees, they quickly approached the strange object and threw out a ball of white powder almost simultaneously.

When the giant insect saw the white powder, fear appeared in its small black eyes. Then it opened its mouth and roared, creating a shockwave around its body that sent the Bai family uncle and nephew flying.

The Bai family uncle and nephew flew backwards into the woods, spitting out blood.

At this moment, some white powder fell onto the insect's body.

Bai Liwei 'rolled' out of the woods, his mouth bleeding, and shouted, "Li Xunshou, chop off the parts of its body that have bone-softening powder!"
