C1692 Palace Woman
After the scorpions left, Lin Long and Mo Wensong continued to walk forward.
On the way back, they encountered two more batches of these scorpions. Moreover, the closer they got to the main hall, the more scorpions they encountered.
Fortunately, they managed to avoid the scorpions.
At this time, they could already see the palace.
The hall seemed very dilapidated, but it was inlaid with many Night Pearls. It was also because of this that they had been able to see it from so far away.
Suddenly, another pair of scorpions walked over.
Seeing these scorpions, Lin Long could not help but reveal a surprised expression, because there were more than ten scorpions carrying a sedan chair, a black sedan chair.
Was there someone inside? Lin Long and Mo Wensong could not help but look at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
In front of the palanquin were two large scorpions leading the way.
What made Lin Long and Mo Wen Song tense up was that the palanquin was originally heading in another direction, but no matter what, the scorpions suddenly turned around and carried the palanquin towards them.
Had he been discovered? Lin Long and could not help but frown.
However, the two of them still did not move. It was too dangerous to move now, so they could only pray that the other party did not notice them.
To their relief, the sedan stopped a few hundred feet away from them.
Then, the scorpions put down the palanquin.
And then the curtain of the palanquin was suddenly lifted aside by a hand.
It was a very beautiful hand.
Seeing this hand, Lin Long and Yue Shan's expression became even more surprised, because this meant that there was a person inside.
The facts proved that their guess was not wrong because a woman walked out from inside. This woman was wearing palace clothes and did not look like an ordinary person.
Her figure was so graceful that even a thin veil could not hide the beauty of her face.
Lin Long could feel a strong Qi from her body, but he was unable to sense how strong she was at the moment.
After this woman walked out, she directly got out of the sedan, and walked towards Lin Long and Mo Wensong.
Had he really been discovered? The string in Lin Long's and Mo Wensong's heart tensed up again.
Their nerves immediately tensed up, ready to engage in a fierce battle when the other party arrived.
The girl slowly walked towards Lin Long and Yue Shan step by step. Her eyes were extremely bright, but Lin Long realised that he couldn't see through her.
After walking about seven to eight Zhang, the girl suddenly stopped. She bent down and picked up a small blade of grass from the ground. This grass looked very different from the surrounding grass, and there was a strong medicinal effect coming from it.
She carefully looked at the grass for a while, then turned around and walked back to the palanquin.
Lin Long and Mo Wensong's hearts could not help but loosen up.
After getting on the palanquin, the scorpions began to move in that direction.
After the scorpions left, Lin Long and Yue Shan continued to walk forward.
Not long later, another group of scorpions appeared in front of them.
They quickly hid in the nearby grass.
They thought that the scorpions would eventually leave just like before, but what they didn't expect was that a group of scorpions would suddenly come crawling in their direction.
There were about twenty scorpions in this group.
Had they been discovered or were they just heading in their direction? Lin Long and Mo Wensong could not help but be extremely confused.
Right now, their situation was extremely dangerous, because if they were discovered, the group of scorpions would rush over at the same time.
Right now, they could only pray that these twenty scorpions wouldn't continue to come over.
But they were wrong, because the twenty scorpions had no intention of stopping.
Looks like I can only flee backwards, Lin Long thought to himself.
"Little Brother Lin, I will lure these scorpions away, the rest will be up to you!" At this moment, Mo Wensong suddenly spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Long to react, he rushed towards his right side with a "sou" sound.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the scorpions. The twenty or so scorpions were the first to chase after him. Soon after, even more scorpions followed closely behind.
In an instant, the dense horde of scorpions swarmed over, causing Lin Long's scalp to go numb upon seeing them.
Soon, the scorpion in front of him was gone.
This was a good opportunity! Thinking about this, Lin Long immediately touched towards the front.
What surprised him was that he did not meet any more hordes of scorpions along the way. At most, he only met a few scorpions.
Because of this, Lin Long quickly arrived outside the ruined great hall.
After using his mind consciousness to check if there were any dangers inside, Lin Long quietly arrived in front of a door of the great hall.
The door was closed, but when Lin Long gently pushed it open, it was immediately pushed open.
With just a glance, Lin Long could tell that it was because of the larger and brighter Night Pearls at the top of the hall.
The inside of the hall looked to be broken down, and it was also empty. With a sweep of his gaze, Lin Long could see that the four walls of the hall were engraved with words.
These four walls should have cultivation methods of the Profound Rank fire element. Thinking about that, Lin Long immediately walked towards one of the walls.
At this moment, his eyebrows furrowed violently because he felt a powerful presence appear outside the hall.
Then, the door of the hall that was the furthest away from him suddenly opened.
Everything happened so quickly that Lin Long had no time to hide.
Turning his head, Lin Long could see a lady dressed in palace attire walking in through the door.
Although this woman was also wearing a veil, Lin Long was certain that this woman was the same person he had met a moment ago.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ?"
At the same time, such voices came from the back of the hall. Without even looking at Lin Long, one could tell that the outside of the hall was already surrounded by scorpions.
"Who are you?" Looking at the other party, Lin Long could not help but say.
The other party did not speak, but instead continued to walk towards Lin Long. His eyes were still very bright, but Lin Long was unable to see any feelings for him.
"Miss, sorry to bother you. I just wanted to get a cultivation technique here. As long as I can obtain that cultivation technique, I will leave immediately and not disturb you any longer. If you want something, I might be able to exchange it with you." Lin Long said.
Even though he knew that there were a lot of scorpions surrounding him, and the lady in front of him was not weak either, Lin Long still looked calm and composed.
The other party still did not speak, and instead stopped twenty meters away from Lin Long.
The worst part of the situation was that the moment she stopped, the other three tightly shut doors opened with a bang. Following that, about twenty scorpions rushed in.
Seeing these scorpions, Lin Long's brows immediately furrowed, because these twenty or so scorpions were all big, and had the strength of level 6 beasts.
"You won't let these scorpions deal with me, right? If they do, then I admit defeat!" Lin Long said directly.
No matter how powerful he was now, he had no way to resist these scorpions.
Unexpectedly, the moment he said that, the scorpions immediately charged towards him.
Even if he knew that he was no match for them, Lin Long could only bite the bullet and use his strongest power to deal with these scorpions.
However, it was difficult for him to even deal with a single scorpion, let alone so many of them. Thus, after a fierce battle, he was subdued by these scorpions on the floor.
After that, the woman in the palace dress walked towards him again.
"Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do? Did you catch my friend coming in with me? " Lin Long could not help but ask a series of questions.
However, the woman still did not speak.
After arriving in front of Lin Long, she suddenly spoke up, "I need the Phoenix true blood, I hope that you can help me find it!"
Her voice was pleasant to the ear, but it was extremely ethereal. There was no emotion in it, and her eyes also did not waver.
"Phoenix true blood? "What is this?" Lin Long could not help but ask.
However, the other party had no intention of answering him.
And at this time, there was only a "boom" sound as a large crack appeared in the center of the hall.
Then, the scorpions that were holding Lin Long back suddenly brought him to the side of the big hole.
Could there be another layer below? Such a thought flashed across Lin Long's mind.
However, when he looked down, he was extremely perplexed. This was because it was not dark below, but there was a lot of light.
It was at this moment that the scorpions suddenly threw him into the big hole.
Lin Long hurriedly activated his own movement technique, but what shocked him the most was that he was actually unable to use his own movement technique.
What was going on?
Fortunately, there seemed to be an invisible force supporting his body, preventing him from falling any further.
After descending who knows how many meters, Lin Long finally saw the terrain underneath. Even though the light was a little dim, he could still see an endless mountain range.
Not good! Suddenly, he was greatly alarmed.
This was because he discovered that the energy supporting him had already disappeared. After that, he accelerated his descent.
A moment later, he hit a rock hard.
Descending from such a high altitude, even the body technique behind him was directly knocked unconscious.
After hitting the rock, he continued to roll down until he finally stopped.
At this moment, a vicious beast not far from him had heard the commotion and directly rushed over.
This was a Hua Bao, its speed was extremely fast, and it quickly arrived in front of Lin Long.
Lin Long was still in a coma at this time, so he did not expect to encounter such a danger.
Just as Hua Bao was prepared to throw himself up again, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards him. Even if he dodged to the side, the arrow would graze his body and leave behind a trail of blood.
Although it did not receive any life-threatening injuries, it did not dare to rush towards Lin Long. Instead, it turned around and fled.
After Hua Bao fled, a fifteen to sixteen year old girl holding a bow ran over. The girl was dressed in servant's clothes.
There were a few people behind the girl. The one in front was a seventeen or eighteen year old girl. Although her appearance was average, she had a dignified expression on her face.
Behind her were two women dressed as servants.
The fifteen to sixteen year old girl quickly arrived in front of Lin Long. After checking his breath and pulse, she couldn't help but exclaim in joy, "Miss, he's still alive."
Hearing this, the seventeen to eighteen year old girl quickened her pace, and very quickly, she arrived beside Lin Long.
"Xiao Qin, give him a healing pellet and bring it home for the doctor to see." The 17-18 year old girl said.
"Alright." Xiao Qin immediately gave Lin Long a healing pill.
Afterwards, Xiao Qin and the other two women carried Lin Long up and down the mountain.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Long slowly woke up. After waking up, he discovered that he was sleeping in an unfamiliar room.
"Where is this place?" Lin Long was extremely suspicious.
After that, he remembered that he was thrown down from the palace hall by the woman, then she smashed a rock ?
Had he been saved by someone on the tenth floor? Lin Long thought.
Just as he was deep in thought, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside. The door opened and a fifteen-sixteen year old girl came walking in with a bowl of medicine in her hands.
"Hey, you're awake." Seeing Lin Long opening his eyes, the girl cried out in joy.
Then, he hurriedly brought the bowl of medicine to Lin Long's side, and said, "This is a medicine used to treat internal injuries ?"
"Thank you, young lady." Lin Long sat up and took the medicine.
However, he did not drink it because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his body.
Thus, he directly asked, "Miss, do you know where you are?"
Although he felt that this was the tenth layer of the subterranean world, it was clearly different from the situation in the first nine layers.
"We are here at South Zhou Town." The young girl said.
"South Zhou Town, then what is your world called?" Lin Long asked again.
"We're on the Azure Cloud Continent, don't you know?" The young girl asked doubtfully.
"Azure Cloud Continent? Aren't you guys at the tenth level of the Underground World? " Lin Long could not help but ask.
"What subterranean world?" This is the first time I've heard of it. " The young girl was puzzled.
Sure enough, things were not as simple as he thought. Seeing her like this, Lin Long couldn't help but have such a thought.
He immediately laughed, "I fell too hard and forgot a lot of things. I don't know where I came from, and I even messed up a few things."
"Is that so? Originally, I wanted to ask you where you came from." The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes and say, "But you're really lucky. It's fine if you fell from such a high place, but you actually didn't suffer any serious internal injuries."
"Really? Then my luck is really good ?" "Well, what's your name?" Lin Long asked.
"My name is Xiao Qin, I'm my Young Miss's personal maid." The young girl said.
"Your Young Miss?"
"My lady's surname is Lu, she is the Lady of the Lu family in South Zhou Town, and the Lu family is a small family in South Zhou Town ?" Xiao Qin immediately began to introduce him.
After chatting with Xiao Qin for a while, Lin Long finally had some understanding of the world and the Southern Zhou Town.
Then, Lin Long asked, "Xiao Qin, do you have any warriors here?"
"Martial artist?" Xiao Qin stared blankly for a moment, then said, "You're asking about the Beastmen, right?"
"Beastmen?"
"This is what a martial artist means, but in the Azure Cloud Continent, they are known as beasts because they consume the bloodlines of vicious beasts to awaken their talent in cultivation." Little Qin said.
"Devouring bloodline?" Lin Long asked again, puzzled.
In his previous life, he hadn't heard of anyone who could open their cultivation talent by consuming the bloodline of a vicious beast.
"That's right." Little Qin nodded heavily.
"What about you? Have you consumed a bloodline before?" Lin Long asked.
"I... After devouring the blood of low level beasts, their strength is very low. After all these years of cultivation, they only have the strength of a rank one or four beast. " Xiao Qin said embarrassedly.
"Beasts are divided into nine levels, and each level is further divided into nine levels." Little Qin explained.
"How can a beastman's strength increase after devouring a vicious beast's bloodline?" Lin Long asked.
"Naturally, it is through cultivation techniques that one can improve and then use martial skills to fight the enemy. However, when the person with outstanding talent devours the berserk beast's bloodline, they will gain insights into the talent of the berserk beast." "Of course, the higher the rank of the berserk beast's bloodline, the higher the possibility of comprehending it." Little Qin said.
After thinking for a while, Lin Long asked again, "Xiao Qin, if that's the case, why don't you consume a high levelled beast's bloodline?"
"Fierce Beasts bloodlines are very hard to obtain. Normally, they can only be obtained from Fierce Beasts that have awakened their aptitude. But, there are very few Fierce Beasts like them. Even if they were found, they would need a lot of effort to capture them."
"And with our Lu Family's strength, even if we find a fierce beast with a high level of berserk beast bloodline, it won't be a match for those fierce beasts."
"It's not like having a high level vicious beast bloodline can increase your cultivation talent. For people like me with low talent, even if I had a high level vicious beast bloodline, I still wouldn't be able to obtain a high level vicious beast cultivation talent."
With Xiao Qin saying this, Lin Long roughly understood.
"Yes. Also, the berserk beasts' bloodlines are divided into low, medium, high, and divine levels." Xiao Qin added.
"Then, what about Phoenix true blood?" Thinking back to what the lady in palace had said, Lin Long could not help but ask.
"Phoenix true blood, that is a god-level vicious beast bloodline." Xiao Qin blinked and said, "We don't even dare to think about such a vicious beast bloodline. So, Young Master, I advise you not to think about it ?" Oh, that's right. Young Master, what's your name? "
"My name is Lin Ming Long." Lin Long laughed.
"So it's Lin Gongzi ?" Xiao Qin nodded and said, "Are you a beastman?"
"I, of course not." Lin Long shook his head.1
He had just arrived in this world, how was he a beast?
"Oh, so that's how it is. I saw you ask about phoenix true blood and I thought you were a beast ? "Alright, I have something on, so I'll be leaving first. You stay here and recuperate. Our young mistress is very nice, she won't chase you away." Little Qin replied.
After saying that, Xiao Qin walked out.
To devour the blood of a fierce beast, Lin Long tried to circulate the profound energy in his body. He didn't know if his own profound energy could activate it yet.
However, what made him frown was that he was still unable to circulate the mystical Qi in his body.
He then swallowed another Qi Pills to try. Although there was energy in the Qi Pills's mouth, what made him depressed was that the Qi Pills could release energy, but the energy was very weak. It was a level four Qi Pills he had consumed, but the energy it could only be equivalent to a peak level one martial artist from before.
From the looks of it, he also needed to consume a fierce beast's bloodline in order for him to become stronger, Lin Long thought.
