Chapter 1868 Silver Seal
"It's so bright," Lin Chen looked up, the meteor was bright and brilliant, enough to illuminate the entire night sky, and the only difference from the scorching sun was that it didn't have such a blazing flame.
"Do you want to make a wish?" Bai Shu's eyes sparkled, and he put his hands together and made a wish silently.
If making a wish is useful, what would I do with all this fighting power.
"What did you wish for?" Lin Chen asked.
"I hope that the Taoist couple I'm obsessed with will eventually achieve the right result!" Bai Shu said with a pious face.
"..."
"Shouldn't you make a wish to finally solve the goddess' troubles and end this eternal reincarnation?" Lin Chen said speechlessly, isn't this kind of big thing worse than Bai Shu's Taoist couple?
Bai Shu rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Chen speechlessly, "If making a wish is useful, what would I do with all this fighting power?"
Damn.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and asked, "Leng Ling, does this ancient city of Xingluo often have stars falling?"
"Not often, but it is recorded that stars do fall occasionally. The last time a meteor fell was ten thousand years ago," Leng Ling said. He looked at the meteor that illuminated the night sky and couldn't help but marvel.
This was also the first time he had seen this scene.
"What will the meteor bring?" Lin Chen asked.
"I don't know. All meteors will eventually fall to the ancient city of Xingluo, but there are no traces of meteors falling in the ancient city of Xingluo," Leng Ling said.
This is interesting.
The meteor streaked across the sky, and the speed of falling was much slower than that of ordinary meteors, leaving a long tail in the night sky, which was very gorgeous and beautiful. Lin Chen and his team continued to rush to the ancient city of Xingluo under the starlight.
After flipping through an extremely huge sand dune, the ancient city of Xingluo was finally in sight, just in an oasis ahead.
When Lin Chen and his team arrived, they happened to see the scene of the star falling into the ancient city of Xingluo.
The entire ancient city was lit up, and countless lines were jumping between the bricks and stones, like a sponge absorbing water, greedily absorbing a large amount of starlight.
But soon, the starlight disappeared, and the world returned to darkness. The ancient city did not change at all, still ancient, but it did not look special.
Lin Chen and his team did not delay and quickly entered the ancient city.
The scene just now was enough to say that the Starfall Ancient City was not ordinary, but no one knew where its magic was manifested for the time being.
The scale of the ancient city was not small, far exceeding the underground city. The buildings inside were all built of bricks and stones, each of which was very huge, and the area near the center was even more high-rise.
The city was silent, and there were no residents. Occasionally, some casual cultivators or people from the Fighting Beast Tower would come to explore and try their luck.
"Huh, it's really the same as recorded, so cold", Leng Ling exhaled, but because of the low temperature, the water vapor condensed directly into ice.
This Starfall Ancient City was so cold, but there was no frost anywhere, and there was even an oasis outside.
"That star has completely disappeared," Leng Ling whispered.
"Blood smell," Lin Chen frowned slightly, smelling a little blood in the air.
There was a battle here!
Following the smell of blood, in an ancient street, large patches of blood dyed the houses on both sides red, and the broken limbs showed the cruelty of this battle.
"Humans, demons, demons, all," Leng Ling snorted. Not far away, there was a huge corpse as big as a mountain. It looked like a tiger-shaped monster, and the corpse was already stiff.
"It looks like they are all casual cultivators, probably from the Fallen Old Mountain."
Fallen Old Mountain is another gathering place for casual cultivators in the second landmass. Similar to the underground city, they all rely on the special environment around them to protect themselves and avoid the crusade of the Fighting Beast Tower.
However, the conditions of Fallen Old Mountain are better than those of the underground city, and the strength is also stronger.
It seems that the people of Fallen Old Mountain are also exploring the Starfall Ancient City, but unfortunately they met Luo Ji and a group of people and were killed.
"It's also bad luck," Lin Chen glanced over and passed this area, but the smell of blood had not dissipated. There were still corpses in the block ahead.
"Huh!" Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly.
"Zhou Ju, is the person who was with Luo Ji at that time," Leng Ling sneered. There could be more dead people like this, he likes to see.
It seems that Luo Ji also suffered casualties in the battle with the people of Fallen Old Mountain.
"Luo Ji must not die, otherwise, it will be less fun," Leng Ling said.
He must kill Luo Ji with his own hands.
Lin Chen looked at the man named Zhou Ju a few more times, and then his eyes condensed.
This corpse seems to be different.
The bodies of those people from Fallen Old Mountain just now were covered with traces of battle. They were killed and there was nothing strange about them, but the body of Zhou Ju in front of him was relatively intact, and the injuries were not serious from the external injuries.
Of course, this is not the key, after all, it may be internal injuries or Taoist injuries.
But the state of his body made Lin Chen frown.
"What's wrong?" Leng Ling was puzzled.
This Zhou Ju is just a follower of Luo Ji, not that powerful, nothing to worry about.
"Turn it over and take a look," Lin Chen said.
Leng Ling's eyes trembled suddenly.
He is not Lin Chen's little brother!
Although he was angry, Leng Ling did not slow down and turned Zhou Ju's body over. However, the moment he touched Zhou Ju's body, he was stunned and noticed something wrong.
The body was not stiff.
Did he die not long ago?
But even the body of the huge monster was stiff, and the battle had been over for a long time.
"He died at the same time as those people, but why..." Leng Ling frowned and searched for Zhou Ju's body according to Lin Chen's instructions.
Until his shirt was torn off, the pupils of the two people shrank.
There was a special mark on Zhou Ju's chest, showing a light silver color. At this moment, it looked like a living thing, and the luster was flowing.
"What is this mark?" Lin Chen asked.
Leng Ling shook his head. He had never seen such a mark before. There was no relevant record in the Beast Fighting Tower.
"I have checked the records about the Starfall Ancient City in the past, and there is no relevant information. Perhaps, this has nothing to do with the Starfall Ancient City. Zhou Ju got it somewhere else," Leng Ling said.
It is indeed possible.
However, at this moment, the light of this mark is flowing, and fine silver threads are pouring out from the mark and drilling into Zhou Ju's body. It looks like a parasite!
It is so weird, how can Lin Chen not be alert.
"It looks like it is absorbing nutrients," Leng Ling kept a distance and explored with divine power.
The reason why Zhou Ju has not hardened for so long after his death is because this mark is absorbing nutrients from his body, and this mark keeps Zhou Ju's blood flowing.
Leng Ling gathered his spirits, stepped back a few steps and said: "Although I don't know what this is, I advise you not to move."
In this outer divine land, there are too many strange and unexplorable things. After all, this is a unique world formed by relying on the divine world. It does not belong to the human world or the divine world, but it is affected by both the divine world and the human world.
In the past long years, there are countless secrets buried in this outer divine land, some of which are from the gods and some are from the human world. Even Luo Liaokuang, who can be called the overlord in the outer divine land, dare not say that he can understand all of the outer divine land.
Many mysteries, even Luo Liaokuang is unwilling to touch.
"Don't move?" Lin Chen nodded, "Then you carry this body away."
Leng Ling laughed angrily. Lin Chen really treated him as a younger brother.
"Lin Chen, I hope you understand that we are in a cooperative relationship, and I am not your subordinate!" Leng Ling said coldly.
"Then don't follow me," Lin Chen spread his hands.
"You!"
Leng Ling's face was gloomy, but he also knew that Lin Chen could easily control him like this, and he had no choice but to accept it.
He took a deep breath, circulated his strength, and lifted Zhou Ju's body.
"Oh, yes, check if the boundary ring is still there," Lin Chen said.
"It's gone!" Leng Ling gritted his teeth.
"Tsk, this Luo Ji is really uncultured, don't worry, I will kill him if I catch him!" Lin Chen cursed inwardly.
The two continued to walk deep into the ancient city of Xingluo.
On the way, Leng Ling tried his best not to let Zhou Ju's body have any contact with him, and isolated it with divine power, tightly.
And Lin Chen observed the mark.
The mark did not change, and he didn't care that Zhou Ju's body was taken away. The silver glow on it continued to flow, and Zhou Ju's nutrients were constantly being absorbed.
Lin Chen was thinking, if Zhou Ju was sucked dry, what would happen to this mark?
Is it to search for another host?
"Another one, what's going on!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.
On the street ahead, there was another corpse lying there, and like Zhou Ju, they were the guys who followed Luo Ji before.
Now he is dead too.
But this place is far away from the previous battle area, and there are no traces of battle left nearby.
Why did he die here?
They obtained a lot of supplies from the Eastern Branch Tower. Even if they were injured, since they didn't die at that time, they should be able to recover.
"Go and have a look," Lin Chen said.
Leng Ling went forward to check, and sure enough, there was another same mark on the heart, absorbing nutrients.
The two corpses were placed together, and there seemed to be some induction between the two marks, but they didn't seem to be compatible and repelled each other.
However, the fluctuations of their breath were the same, obviously the power of the same source.
"Will it be related to the previous meteor?" Leng Ling asked.
Lin Chen shook his head, "Even if it is related, at least it is not the one we just saw."
The time that this mark appeared on the body is not so short, it should be before they died.
"It seems that it is related to Luo Ji's mission this time," Leng Ling said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing.
After all, such a change has never happened before!
"Lin Chen, do you still want to carry the body? They know the inside story, so they leave the body alone, which shows that they are also full of fear of this mark!" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.
This is not because he is afraid, but a reasonable analysis.
"Take it," Lin Chen just said lightly.
Leng Ling had no choice but to take the two bodies and continue forward.
The situation in this Xingluo Ancient City is beyond expectations, revealing mystery and weirdness. The most urgent task is to find Luo Ji and his traces as soon as possible.
But Xingluo Ancient City is cold and desolate, and there is no sound.
Even Lin Chen did not find the breath left by Luo Ji and his friends.
With Luo Ji and his ability, as long as they came here, they should not be able to hide from Lin Chen's investigation.
However, at this moment, the night sky was lit up again.
Above the sky, a bright light shone with brilliance and was falling rapidly!
Meteor!
Another meteor!
"What's going on? What happened to this Xingluo Ancient City? There are actually two meteors falling in succession. This has never happened before!" Leng Ling couldn't help but exclaimed.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
"What are you going to do now?" Leng Ling asked hurriedly.
The meteor will fall into the ancient city of Xingluo, and now they are in the city. No one knows what will happen after the meteor falls. They are here, naturally, it is very risky!
"Wait," Lin Chen watched the meteor fall with a long tail.
He also wanted to know where the meteor went after falling into the ancient city of Xingluo and why it disappeared. Before, they were outside the city and didn't notice anything.
And now, they are in the city, maybe they can use this to peek into one or two secrets of the ancient city of Xingluo.
In this case, Leng Ling didn't say anything extra nonsense. He called up all the heaven-defying divine power in his body. The divine sand that exceeded 90% made his heaven-defying divine power extremely powerful, and the divine control technique was pushed to the peak.
And Lin Chen, the "world" around him was up and down, and he was also on guard with all his strength.
The meteor was not slow, but for the city, the starlight soon completely occupied all the vision, and the starlight was shining everywhere.
Lin Chen immediately noticed that the surrounding buildings began to change, just like what he had seen before, they began to light up, and special patterns appeared in them.
And at this moment, being in it, he naturally felt it particularly clearly.
"The mark is fluctuating!" Leng Ling shouted.
He was carrying the two people, so he naturally noticed the change at the first time.
Lin Chen just glanced at it, and of course he also noticed it, and it was obvious that the mark was echoing the meteor chasing down from the sky.
As the meteor got closer and closer, the mark began to flow faster and seemed to become a little irritable.
"Here it comes," Lin Chen shouted in a low voice.
The next moment, endless brilliance fell to the ground, and the meteor was like a sun that no longer burned with fire. The magnificent power rushed straight to their faces. Lin Chen and Leng Ling instinctively took a step back.
However, there was no collision.
The meteor hit down, but it passed through the buildings of the ancient city. Lin Chen and the others stood in place, without any impact, intact.
And the starlight was agitated, all pouring into the ancient city.
Lin Chen stared at this scene, his eyes were enough to penetrate the extremely bright starlight, and he saw all the changes in the ancient city, without missing any details.
The starlight began to fade, and the huge stars disappeared in the ancient city, just like what he had seen before.
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, and he saw some changes, some changes that made people care.
It seemed that he knew the direction of the starlight flow.
"Let's go, I probably know where to go. This Xingluo Ancient City should be undergoing some wonderful changes. Perhaps, it will be an unexpected gain!" Lin Chen smiled.
But after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.
"Leng Ling?" Lin Chen called out.
Leng Ling was a little dull and his reaction was a little slow.
Lin Chen immediately realized something, and with a wave of his finger, the clothes in front of Leng Ling were torn, and then Lin Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
The silver mark also appeared on Leng Ling's chest!
At the moment when the meteor fell, Leng Ling was actually parasitized!
Lin Chen looked at the two corpses. The marks on their bodies did not disappear, and they were still absorbing nutrients.
It was not a transfer of marks.
That was what had just appeared.
But they had not suffered any attack just now.
"Meteor?" Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.
This mark came from a falling star!
But there was no mark on Lin Chen's body.
Could it be that a meteor could only bring one mark?
Lin Chen frowned. This land of the gods outside the sky really had many mysteries. Even he could not figure out what had happened and what the result of this mark would lead to.
"It doesn't feel good, but this time, I really can't move," Leng Ling said with some difficulty.
He was not a corpse, and he still had consciousness. At that moment, he grabbed his hand at the position of the mark and kept exerting force, trying to forcibly peel off the mark, even if it meant digging out the flesh and blood on his chest.
However, the intense pain was used in an instant, almost swallowing up Leng Ling's consciousness.
In the past, Leng Ling would not be able to withstand such an impact and would faint.
But it was different now. After experiencing the inhuman pain and near-death test some time ago, the impact from the mark did not make him fall down.
That was not enough!
Leng Ling gritted his teeth and persisted, but even if he could endure the pain and keep his consciousness intact, it was obviously not that easy to peel off the mark.
Those silver filaments had penetrated every part of his body and soul. Pulling them out forcibly would be tantamount to tearing his body and soul apart!
"No, you will die like this," Lin Chen said directly.
Leng Ling's hand froze for a moment, but he clearly felt that his strength was rapidly fading. Even though he was determined now, the dizziness caused by weakness could not be avoided.
No matter how strong the will is, a person will still die when he is supposed to die. Willpower can change many things, but there are also many things that cannot be changed.
"What should I do then?" Leng Ling smiled bitterly.
This is nothing.
This time, he finally managed to escape death, and survived with extraordinary talent and will, but he died just after becoming a traitor.
And he died so casually.
It was hard to accept.
Lin Chen also tried it at the moment, and found that the mark was very tightly connected to Leng Ling, and even he could not peel it off.
At the moment, he could either forcefully peel it off and let Leng Ling die now, or watch Leng Ling suck it dry and die slowly.
"There is no other way, I can only take a gamble," said Lin Chen.
"What are you betting on?" Leng Ling asked.
But Lin Chen didn't explain or discuss it. He raised his hand and forcibly peeled off the mark on Zhou Ju's body. Almost instantly, Zhou Ju's body was reduced to ashes.
And the mark, after leaving Zhou Ju's body, countless filaments entangled Lin Chen silently and at an astonishing speed!
If it weren't for the "world" around Lin Chen shining and controlling time, I'm afraid he really couldn't defend against these filaments and would be parasitized instantly.
But even so, there was not much time.
At that moment, Lin Chen pressed the mark directly towards Leng Ling.
The filaments instantly drilled into Leng Ling's body and started parasitizing.
However, at this moment, Leng Ling had two marks on his body at the same time. They were obviously not good friends and immediately began to fight for this body.
But neither of the two marks could do anything to the other, but neither wanted to be devoured by the other's body, so they were in a stalemate.
So, a certain balance was reached, temporarily stabilizing Leng Ling's situation.
"It seems that the bet was right," said Lin Chen.
I discovered before that the marks were mutually exclusive. Although they were all the same marks, they were not from the same group. Now it has been confirmed.
"Fuck you!"
Leng Ling fell to the ground with foam at the mouth. The two marks fought in his body and almost killed him.
"Be thankful that you are not dead. Take a rest and then we will leave," said Lin Chen.
