171: Second Spirit Slave, we are of the same kind
As Lin Ling's voice fell, a figure shrouded in black mist instantly appeared before him.
The next second, Nether Scorpion found her vision go black, and she arrived in a dark space.
Being an expert in dealing with ghosts herself, she naturally wasn't afraid of darkness.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, because here she couldn't perceive any connection to the outside world.
And at this moment, the arrogant young man from before suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Hmph! Playing tricks, brat, I'll send you on your way first!" Nether Scorpion roared, and a black longbow covered in skulls immediately appeared in her hand.
Lin Ling, on the opposite side, raised his Ling Tian Staff.
"Direction of Light!"
A song suddenly began.
A pure white holy light instantly descended from above.
Nether Scorpion, already severely wounded, was instantly enveloped by the holy light.
Nether Scorpion desperately shot out ghost arrows, and as soon as these arrows appeared, they transformed into malevolent spirits hovering above her head.
Sizzle...
A piercing corrosive sound rang out, and the wails of ghosts and wolves came from within the light pillar.
The light pillar dissipated, all the malevolent spirits vanished, and the originally enchanting and charming Nether Scorpion had transformed into an old hag covered in pustules.
"Spiritual Slave, you kill her. I want to see the fear in her heart," Lin Ling said.
Tu Nanyi, who had become a Spiritual Slave, nodded lightly, and a figure suddenly walked out from the darkness ahead.
That person was dressed in a white Daoist robe, with purple lightning crackling around him.
He wore a unique Daoist bun on his head, but his face seemed to be covered by a layer of grey gauze, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
However, Lin Ling didn't know why, but he always felt that this figure looked somewhat familiar.
The next second, a long whip made of lightning appeared in this person's hand and lashed fiercely at Nether Scorpion.
Crackling...
Nether Scorpion convulsed, directly spitting white foam.
Lin Ling narrowed his eyes slightly; he had a strange feeling that the lightning on this person seemed even more terrifying than the lightning from his Forbidden Spell, Thunderclap.
But was there lightning more powerful than a lightning-type Forbidden Spell?
Perhaps, but that would at least have to be the legendary Divine Lightning.
Crack, crack, crack...
The figure swung the lightning whip again and again, and in just a few strikes, Nether Scorpion's health was already at rock bottom.
Just then, a straight blade suddenly pierced through Nether Scorpion's heart, and her health bar was instantly cleared.
However, just then, a sudden change occurred.
The figure that originally belonged to Nether Scorpion's dream suddenly turned and looked at Lin Ling, who held the Starfall Blade.
Although he couldn't see his face, Lin Ling had a strange feeling; he vaguely felt that this person was smiling at him.
Lin Ling narrowed his eyes, and a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from the opposite side.
"We are the same kind."
"What did you say? Who are you?" Lin Ling asked.
"We are the same kind. This world doesn't belong to us. Are you willing to go back with me? If this world is destroyed, everything will be reset, and all Foreigners will be able to go back."
That person again uttered a baffling statement.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness.
And at this moment, Lin Ling finally saw a scorpion pattern on the back of that person's white Daoist robe.
To be precise, it should have been eleven small scorpions surrounding a large scorpion.
The dream space instantly vanished, and Lin Ling returned to the front of the Forging Master Guild.
Only, at this moment, Nether Scorpion had already become a cold corpse.
"Undead Overture!"
Lin Ling unleashed the Undead-type Forbidden Spell, and as the song began, Nether Scorpion's corpse on the ground instantly rose.
"What is this?"
Zhou Mengyan and the others, who were originally in sorrow, now had eyes filled with shock.
"It's alright, Meng Yan, Ji Mo is fine. I will definitely revive Gouzi. Can you help me contact Old Jiang? I have something to discuss with him," Lin Ling said.
Zhou Mengyan nodded, "Lin Ling, where are you planning to go now?"
Her words were full of worry, fearing that Lin Ling would be disheartened because of Ji Mo.
"Let's go back to Dragon Nest together. I still have one chance to use the tempering room, and today is the last day, so I must use it," Lin Ling said.
As soon as he said this, everyone simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
The phantom fighter appeared, and soon the three of them returned to the Dragon Nest Base.
Lin Ling didn't see Jiang Shan Yi, so he sent him a message and then plunged into the mental power tempering room.
To revive Ji Mo, he needed to fully push for 10,000 points of mental power.
If he used the power of the War God Hall to find a Wood-element Grand Magus, it might not be difficult.
But to find a Grand Magus with 10,000 points of mental power, that was simply impossible.
Lin Ling now had some understanding of mental power.
9,999 points of mental power seemed to be the limit humans could reach, and 10,000 was called the Human-God Divide.
To be honest, he didn't know if he could do it.
However, in the mental power tempering room, the passing condition for the ninth difficulty was 12,000, which gave Lin Ling a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, he had no choice; for his brother, he had to go all out.
Lin Ling directly chose the 8th difficulty and simultaneously reactivated the Soul Guiding quest.
[Quest: Simultaneously control 800,000 objects to sing and dance.]
...
At a separate courtyard below Mount Fuji, Japan.
"Yejisang, I've already dug the hole, and the bait is on the hook. I just don't know if we can catch a big fish?"
"Meichuan-kun, our ten-year plan is for this very moment. To enter that magic array, one needs at least 3,000 mental power, and to get out, there's no hope without 8,000 mental power. So, no matter who goes in, they're a big fish for us."
"Hahaha... Yosh... That's right, there's an old saying in Dragon Country called 'Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa'. I hope they have more Calabash Brothers, so Eagle-chan's plan can proceed better."
"Yejisang, Mitsui and their signal suddenly disappeared. I wonder if they encountered a powerful Lord Boss?"
"What Lord Boss in the Yellow Sea could prevent Mitsui and them from even sending a message?"
The two Japanese men in samurai attire had bewildered expressions.
Fen River Second Reservoir, Qianlong Secret Realm.
Outside a huge magic array, several people were currently standing in mid-air.
"Hall Master, I've eaten the Divine Origin Fruit, and my mental power has broken through to 1,000. I should be able to enter," said Bai Zhi, dressed in a white Daoist robe.
Zhou Weiyun nodded, "Be careful."
Bai Zhi smiled faintly, "Hall Master, rest assured. 1,000 mental power is the entry threshold. For those below Seven Turns, the difficulty of passing is reduced by 10 times. If even I can't rescue Old Jiang, then perhaps no one will be able to come out of there."
As her words fell, she stepped into the magic array.
P.S.: I promise it will get more exciting later. I hope all you darlings will keep following! (づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～
