Chapter 1864 Ghost Market
Leng Ling actually wanted to intercept Luo Ji.
This idea made Lin Chen's eyes light up, very good, worthy of praise.
And Leng Ling's motives were also very convincing.
He was now a traitor, and there was no place for him in the Beast Fighting Tower. Without Mingtai's support, Leng Ling's situation was already awkward. Now, there was no need to plan at all. He had been abandoned and would be hunted down.
After all, one thing was certain, Mu Zhu would not let him go.
In this case, Leng Ling might as well do it thoroughly, just like kneeling before, then kneel thoroughly, don't be coy and artificial, but you can't do anything.
But there are problems.
Leng Ling was just guessing about Luo Ji's situation. He was not sure that Luo Ji and the others were carrying out the mission of the gods.
There is still a need to be vigilant here, and you can't be easily led by Leng Ling.
But in short, the general plan has been set, and Lin Chen will go with Leng Ling on this trip.
"In this case, after going up, let's act separately for the time being," said the Immortal Queen.
She clearly felt the insufficiency of her own strength, and she had to make herself stronger as soon as possible, and she would definitely not miss such a good opportunity in front of her.
She would leave alone and devour the divine materials made by the descendants of the God of Wall Pasting to quickly become stronger.
"Sister Queen, do you want me to go with you?" Lucy asked with a smile.
She could purify the divine materials and restore them to their original state before they were made into divine materials, which would be beneficial for the Undead Queen to absorb the Ring of the Gods.
However, the Undead Queen shook her head, "No, I can now absorb them by my own strength."
In this way, Lin Chen nodded, and he had no reason to stop the Undead Queen.
He just said: "Then be careful, this matter is a blessing for you, but it may also be accompanied by a huge crisis, so don't end up becoming someone else's consumables."
The whisper heard by the Undead Queen was obviously a hidden worry, and she had to be on guard.
The Immortal Queen snorted and treated others as consumables. She herself was a master of this way. Otherwise, how could she use Qin Yue'er's body to return to the human world? Her immortal mind method is not vegetarian.
"I will," said the Immortal Queen.
"Then I am?" Lucy blinked.
"After sending the Sky Axis Crystal back to the underground city, you will be the supervisor there," said Lin Chen.
"..." Lucy curled her lips, "Too boring."
"The underground city is full of suffering, which is a good place for you to preach. You shouldn't miss it," Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Lucy's eyes flashed slightly. She really wanted to spread the doctrine of light in the outer divine land. If there was a chance, she even wanted to preach in the divine world and let the gods believe in the Lord of Light.
It must be said that this is really against the Tiangang.
But Lucy really has such a plan.
After all, the gods are not gods!
"Then you have to pay for the food," Lucy said after thinking for a while.
"Let's talk about it when I come back," Lin Chen said with a smile.
After several people discussed and waited for another day, they finally got out of the underground river. Outside was a vast ancient forest with lush branches and leaves covering the sky. Even in the daytime, it was very dark.
I don’t know where I am.
However, there is no breath left by the strong people around. It seems that Mu Zhu didn’t find this place. For the time being, it is safe.
Leng Ling went deep into the air, his eyes swept across the surrounding mountains and rivers, and his mind was comparing the map, looking for the matching area.
"Dark forest, it should be here", Leng Ling quickly determined their location. It is very far away from the Eastern Branch Tower, and it doesn’t take too long to return to the Polar Magnetic Mining Area from here.
In this case, let’s act on our own.
After the Immortal Queen said goodbye, she flew towards the nearest divine material. There must be dangers along the way. The Fighting Beast Tower will never allow others to destroy the divine material so wantonly.
But the Immortal Queen is not an easy character to deal with, let alone a flower in a greenhouse.
She used the Immortal Heart Method to live from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the present, so there is no need to worry about her.
After the Immortal Queen left, Lin Chen and his team turned to the Extreme Magnetic Mining Area.
There were no obstacles along the way. Only when they were close to the Extreme Magnetic Mining Area did they find scouts sent by the Fighting Beast Tower tracking the situation of the underground city.
However, the underground city has not been wiped out for so many years, and now it is even more difficult.
Lin Chen did not alarm the scouts. According to the agreement with Song Zhize, he came to the designated location. Two days later, he returned to the underground city.
"Okay, okay, with this, the main body of the world-traveling ship can be built. For the rest, we can wait for the other materials to gather one by one!" Master Luo was very excited, both because he was about to challenge the construction of the world-traveling ship and because of hope.
Next, Master Luo no longer cared about Lin Chen. In his drawings, the entire underground city would become part of the world-traveling ship.
Once this plan can be finally achieved, the underground city can completely leave the No. 2 landmass and go to the other landmasses to find a safe home!
Such a feat is naturally amazing, and Lin Chen sincerely hopes that Master Luo can succeed.
Of course, what Lin Chen cares about most is not this, but the repair work of his ship.
The core components of this ship are intact, and only the accompanying components need to be repaired. Now the materials are being transported back continuously, and the speed will not be too slow.
As for the repair work, Master Luo handed it over to Yin Yin.
Xu Yinyin has been following Master Luo for some time and has sorted out the inherited knowledge. Her mechanical skills have improved dramatically. The repair work of this ship will allow her to truly integrate the legacy left by Xu Zhuo.
Everything is going on step by step, so Lin Chen left the inner city and returned to his home in the outer city.
He looked at the tree without saying a word.
He hesitated whether to take the tree away, but finally gave up.
"Lucy, remember to water it more," Lin Chen said.
"..."
So, taking the unconscious Leng Ling, Lin Chen did not stop and left the underground city again.
He had to make a big noise outside, so that the energy and attention of the Beast Fighting Tower would be attracted by him, thus reducing the investment in the underground city.
Two days later, Leng Ling woke up. Of course, his face was a little ugly, but he also understood that he would not have much trust in Lin Chen. It was easy for Lin Chen to knock him out and take him back without any burden.
"There are many ways to knock someone out. Next time, can you not use that brick?" Leng Ling snorted.
I don't know where the brick came from, it hurts so much!
"I'll try my best," Lin Chen smiled, very foolishly, and then went straight to the point, "We have to find Luo Ji next, but where can we find him? If we go back to the vicinity of the Eastern Branch Tower to look for traces, I'm afraid there is a risk of being caught by Mu Zhu."
Mu Zhu's strength is terrifying, Lin Chen dare not underestimate him at all.
"Humph, I have been in the Beast Fighting Tower for so many years, and I have also cultivated my own strength. How could I completely draw a line with me after betraying him!" Leng Ling snorted.
His previous position in the Beast Fighting Tower was almost the first among the younger generation. How could the authority he held and the power gathered under his command be weak?
"Follow me," Leng Ling said, leading the way and flying out in a hurry.
Three days later, Lin Chen and his team came to a cemetery area, a mass grave. At a glance, there were graves all over the mountains and plains, and some even had no graves!
I didn't expect that there was such a place in the divine land outside the sky.
"The population of the divine land outside the sky is indeed small, but after all, it has existed for such a long time since ancient times, and the time span can be traced back to several eras before the human world. In such a long period of time, the number of people who died is also a terrifying astronomical figure," said Leng Ling.
And the mass grave in front of us was formed by the continuous burial of people in the past years.
When you get close to this place, you can feel the gloomy air. This is no longer an atmosphere, but a substantial force. Once the sun sets, this place will be shrouded in ghost fog, and a large number of ghosts and dead things will appear, just like a hundred ghosts parading at night.
"So, this is also a dangerous place on the second land mass?" Lin Chen said.
"Yes, but unlike other places, this is a man-made dangerous place," said Leng Ling.
"So why are we here?" Lin Chen asked, waiting for the next words.
Leng Ling looked at the mass graves in front of him and said slowly: "As I said just now, once night falls, the other side of the mass graves will emerge, like the transformation of the yin and yang worlds, and along with the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, there is also a ghost market."
"Ghost market?" Lin Chen was a little surprised.
"Ghost market is a ghost city, where a group of intelligent ghosts live. They have the ability to control all ghosts, and even cultivated a very special ghost that can penetrate every corner of the landmass," Leng Ling said, with some fear in his words.
"They even have contact with the inside of the Beast Fighting Tower?" Lin Chen was surprised.
"As long as there is profit, naturally someone will let ghosts in the Beast Fighting Tower, and the cruelty of slave death fights has always been a good place to breed ghosts," Leng Ling said lightly.
According to Leng Ling, people can trade through ghosts, and selling intelligence is just one of them. There are also things like "buying and selling prohibited items", "handling some black profits", "issuing some shady tasks"...
The ghost market, in disguise, has contracted these dark areas in the dark. Their existence is not because they are stronger than the Beast Fighting Tower, but because there are fights wherever there are people, even inside the Beast Fighting Tower.
And where there are fights, there will be black or gray areas.
The ghost market plays such a role, and the Beast Fighting Tower knows that it cannot be contained, so it allows it to develop.
"So you want to enter the ghost market now and seek answers from the ghost market?" Lin Chen said.
"It's not just for Luo Ji's mission, I also want to know if the Beast Fighting Tower has really wanted me now. In addition, the situation of Mu Zhu and Mo Shi must be clarified!" Leng Ling said.
These are indeed necessary information.
"Can you ask all of these?" Lin Chen was curious, is this ghost market a little too powerful!
"The Ghost Market will not easily sell information about the gods. Even if they are willing to trade, we probably can't afford the reward. However, I have a friend in the Ghost Market," Leng Ling said.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
It is indeed easier to talk with acquaintances.
However, this Leng Ling is really powerful. He has cultivated strength in the Ghost Market. And from the tone, his status in the Ghost Market is obviously not low.
So, waiting for the sun to set, the mass grave suddenly howled with a gloomy wind, and layers of hideous and terrifying ghosts were swaying in the gloomy wind, spreading terror.
The night gradually deepened, and there was no light between heaven and earth. There were no stars in the sky here at night, only thick and indissoluble darkness.
Then, green ghost fires lit up in the mass grave, and even a huge green light ball appeared, which looked like the sun at night, but without any temperature.
In Lin Chen's eyes, he clearly saw that the light ball was actually just the one-eyed ghost. The other party was watching them, and the ghostly aura made any living person feel the coldness.
Of course, for Lin Chen, who had been in the ghost country, this was not a big scene. The six reincarnations and hell rebirth in the ghost country were the ultimate ghost way.
Lin Chen was calm, looked at it casually, and asked: "Just walk in like this?"
"Generally, the ghost market is connected to the outside world by ghost spirits. Even if it is to trade goods, ghost spirits can do it, so it is not common for people to enter the ghost market in person," Leng Ling said, and then stretched out his hand and drew a rune in the air.
"And if you want to enter the ghost market, you must get an invitation from the ghost market. This rune is the invitation."
Lin Chen nodded slightly, and Leng Ling lit up the rune and walked into the mass grave. The surrounding Yin Qi was surging, and the coldness continued to erode the body. The edge of the vision gradually began to blur. Unconsciously, there was a feeling of stepping into another world!
Day and night alternate, and the mass grave at night is actually another world, not a description.
A series of pale green ghost fires lit up under the feet of Lin Chen and his men, extending all the way to the depths of the mass grave. At this moment, the mass grave seemed to be alive. Whether it was the grave mounds or the tombstones, or the mountain itself, they all turned into ghosts, twisted and hideous, with bloody mouths, ready to devour living beings at any time.
"Remember to follow the guidance of the ghost fire, otherwise, the ghosts in the mass grave will attack us directly!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice, with deep fear.
"Is it that scary?"
"It's scary. I've already told you the reason why the ghost market appeared, but I'm telling you now that even Master Kuang has regretted allowing or even condoning the appearance of the ghost market. Now, even Master Kuang can hardly take down the owner of the ghost market!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.
Is this considered too much?
"But the ghost market is very disciplined. It has never interfered in the affairs of the Beast Fighting Tower, nor will it balance the fights between the various scattered cultivator settlements and the Beast Fighting Tower. It is a complete outsider and only provides a trading channel, so Master Kuang has never broken this delicate relationship," Leng Ling said.
This made Lin Chen feel awe-inspiring.
It seems that he still knows too little about the outer land of the sky!
In this way, Lin Chen has a greater interest in this ghost market. After all, he also has many questions to ask. Perhaps the ghost market can give him the answers.
