Chapter 687:
“Fellow Daoist Lin Che!”
Among the crowd of cultivators, a cultivator from the Tianyu clan bowed and then strode out.
"This castle isn't home to ordinary treasures. I'm afraid you alone can't open the entrance, let alone see the treasures inside. If Fellow Daoist Lin Che is willing to listen, I'd be happy to explain the ins and outs of this to you."
Lin Che glanced around and found that the cultivator who stood out was someone he had met before, and they could even be said to have fought side by side.
He had come to the secret realm before on a ship of the Tianyu clan. At that time, their ship was attacked by a phantom beast. Under the command of the Tianyu clan elder Jitai, a group of Tianyu clan monks followed him.
The monk in front of him was one of those who followed him at that time.
Judging from the situation at that time, the cultivator in front of him was still a prodigy of the Tianyu clan, and Elder Jitai valued this cultivator very much.
"Oh. It's you! What should I call you?"
Lin Che was not a murderer. He had only killed people out of necessity. If possible, he still wanted to be a good person.
"Haha, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin still remembered me. My name is Zhang Lizhao. Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
Lin Che took a look at Zhang Lizhao and found that his hair was not like that of the Tianyu people, but more like that of the human race.
It seems that Zhang Lizhao is at least half human.
However, Lin Che didn't care about the other person's background. He simply asked, "Tell me why I can't open the entrance to this city by myself. Tell me!"
Zhang Lizhao forced a smile, thinking, "As expected." This Lin Che, without even knowing the castle's origins, was already taking it over. If everyone else were driven away, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage by himself.
"Haha. Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't know that this castle is called the Trial Ground. When there are enough cultivators around, it will quickly open its natural defense array, and we can enter. After entering the city, there will be ninety-one traps, located in ninety-one different corners."
"Only when all ninety-one mechanisms are pressed simultaneously will the treasures of the entire city be activated. Many nightmares will be released into the city, and these nightmares will attack the people in the city. But they also carry treasures..."
After hearing this, Lin Che finally understood.
Isn't this just a large-scale dungeon? You need enough people to start, then you kill monsters, and the monsters will drop treasures.
This is very simple and clear.
I just didn’t expect that there would be such an interesting setting in this thousand-year-old secret realm.
This made him feel a little strange.
Because whether it was encountering ferocious beasts or finding natural treasures, everything was uncertain. Even that sea of flowers was uncertain.
But this is the only castle the monks know how to open and how to obtain the treasure.
But, since I'm here.
Then we must see what treasures those nightmares have!
Lin Che nodded. "I see. Then we don't need too many people. Ninety-one cultivators will be enough."
Zhang Lizhao added, "Perhaps ninety-one cultivators are far from enough. There are too many nightmares, and each one is no weaker than a Xuan-level Great Demon King. We need several people to work together to kill each nightmare. I know that Fellow Daoist Lin has a high level of cultivation, but nightmares are scattered everywhere. Once they kill other cultivators, they will absorb their flesh and blood, becoming even more powerful. Therefore, it is best if none of us die in battle."
There is also such a setting.
However, if you think about it carefully, perhaps this is the purpose of this nightmare's existence. The monks kill the nightmares, and the nightmares also wait here to kill the monks. It's a win-win situation.
"Well then! In that case, you can find other monks. As long as they are willing to help open the castle, they can come. But they should not interfere with my nightmare."
"Of course. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Zhang Lizhao smiled heartily, thinking that even the notorious Lin Che wasn't so unruly. As long as he spoke nicely, Lin Che would listen.
Immediately, Zhang Lizhao went to inform the other monks.
The monks were delighted when they heard this. They could unite to deal with a nightmare. They wanted the treasure, but they also didn't want to die.
It didn't take long before more than two thousand monks gathered.
The ninety cultivators who were to open the mechanism together were also selected. Together with Lin Che, there were ninety-one in total.
Lin Che had originally considered having Big Elbow take over one of the traps, but since it would require everyone's cooperation, he decided against it. He could wait for Nightmare to appear before having Big Elbow dispatch and kill him.
At the same time, it was also thanks to Lin Che that these cultivators were able to gather so quickly.
Before Lin Che arrived, they were still vying with each other over "who would take charge". Many factions were unwilling to accept each other, so they had not yet decided who would take over the organization.
Now that Lin Che was here, they immediately stopped arguing and listened quietly to the instructions.
They knew very well that if anyone angered Lin Che now, she would definitely strike them with a knife, and they had no ability to resist.
This was no joke. The fact that those old Buddhist monks were crushed by Lin Che alone was a prime example.
The monks cooperated very well and approached the castle, looking into the castle through the natural barrier. As long as the barrier was opened, it would be determined who would occupy which position and who would besiege the nightmares that came out of the mechanism. Everything had been assigned.
Zhang Lizhao added, "Fellow Daoist Lin, based on this time calculation, it will only take three days for the barrier to be opened."
"Three days? No. That's too long!"
Lin Che didn't want to waste too much time in this place. After all, he came here to look for the Time Sand, and he hadn't even seen a single hair yet.
"But, the barrier isn't open, so we can't get in!"
"Let me try!" Lin Che said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lin also knows how to open the natural barrier?" Zhang Lizhao widened his eyes. This method is absolutely one in a million.
Lin Che shook her head: "I don't understand. But I have physical means, I can try!"
Lin Che's figure flashed and landed on the highest point of the natural barrier. Looking down from this place, the entire castle was wrapped in a layer of white barrier.
He held the ugly black angry knife in one hand, and the three-fold Dharma image of heaven and earth behind him appeared again. The surging power began to become familiar, pouring into the black knife continuously.
His body also began to be filled with thunder.
The cultivators looked up, but they couldn't even look directly at Lin Che. It was clear that he was a ball of heavenly thunder gathering and ready to explode at any moment.
"cut!!"
Boom!!!
Lin Che slashed down with his sword, and the seemingly indestructible barrier shattered...
