Chapter 198: Stone Piles on the Plain
In the woods a hundred meters away, Lin Jin teleported to the tree where Wang Yong had just appeared.
As expected, the tree was empty. Apart from a few broken leaves hanging on the branches, there was no sign of Wang Yong.
Lin Jin released her mental power to search, not only searching the nearby woods but also the small river in the distance.
But a strange thing happened. After scanning for 500 meters, there was no sight of Wang Yong. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Lin Jin came to the tree where Wang Yong had squatted, picked a broken leaf, put it to her nose and sniffed it.
A light fragrance with a hint of earthy flavor.
She teleported to the side of the Wang family member who had fallen down in Kaimu Cang. The man was shot in the heart by an arrow and died instantly.
I didn't see any footprints around me, nor did I smell any strange smell.
Lin Jin continued to look around in the woods. There were only twisted trees nearby, no cleared passages, and only a few large rocks piled on the side of the road.
Thinking of the box placed in the space, she took out the box and stared at the silver needle inside, thinking deeply.
Sang Yue said that after the incident, she did not see anyone in the surveillance video, nor were there any suspicious signs. Only the cleaning staff cleaned the corridor in the morning.
Coming and going in a hurry, is it possible that Wang Yong has some other abilities that he has yet to demonstrate?
Lin Jin was afraid that she had missed something, so she released her mental power again to scan Zhou Shulin.
After scanning the stones on the roadside, his sight suddenly stopped, and after a pause, he scanned the surface of the stone again.
This stone...
Were you that close to her just now?
Lin Jin stared at the stone on the edge and walked closer curiously to find out what was inside.
Almost in the blink of an eye, as soon as he took a step, the stone he was staring at suddenly exploded.
A piece of cloth of the same color was torn into shreds, and a shell burst out from it.
The shells rose and spun, and dozens of black dots fell from the sky.
Lin Jin quickly dodged and opened up the space to absorb the black spots in front of her.
Black spots fell from the sky, piercing through all the leaves and trees nearby like pieces of iron.
Two black spots also fell at Lin Jin's feet. She lowered her head and saw that they were a dozen flying needles as thin as hair inserted into the soil.
In the sky, a cannonball fired and then fell into the woods again. The forest just shook slightly and then there was no movement.
When Lin Jin saw the direction where the shell disappeared, a light bulb went off in her head and Wang Yong's face flashed through her mind.
So that's how it is.
There is a kind of Kung Fu that has been passed down for a long time in Chinese history and can still be seen today in acrobatic troupes across the country.
Those who have learned it use bones to shrink their bodies to a certain extent, so as to achieve the purpose of drilling holes or hiding.
This technique is called bone shrinking.
Wang Yong's body is less than half the size of an adult and he is very thin. At most, he is only slightly taller than a person with dwarfism.
For such a person, learning the art of bone shrinking can achieve twice the result with half the effort, after all, the body provides very favorable conditions.
After figuring this out, Lin Jin’s doubts were resolved.
She withdrew her mental power, the spiritual energy in her body surged, and a dark purple light flashed in her eyes.
All the clouds were gathered above the woods at this moment. Purple spiritual energy entered the clouds, manipulating the clouds to drop lightning.
Lin Jin directed the lightning to attack the forest indiscriminately, sweeping across all parts of the forest.
“Boom—”
The trees fell down one after another, and the small animals and monsters hiding inside fled in all directions. Even the flocks of birds were unable to flap their wings and fly away in time, and were turned into ashes under the terrifying thunder.
The lightning swept across most of the forest and finally blew out Wang Yong who was hiding in a dead tree.
The dead tree was split in half, and Wang Yong, whose body had shrunk to the size of a winter melon, revealed his true form.
The darkness dissipated, revealing the panic in his eyes.
The footsteps that had tormented him for days sounded above his head, and the warm breath sprayed on Wang Yong's neck, like the tongue of a poisonous snake licking the fur of its prey.
His body trembled slightly, and he reflexively reached for the weapon under his butt.
But before he could pick it up, a pair of hands grabbed his collar and lifted him into the air.
Wang Yong raised his head from his arms in panic. The person he least wanted to see appeared in front of him.
Lin Jin curled her lips and chuckled, "I found you."
......
It was raining in the secret realm. After Lin Jin used spiritual energy on a large scale, lightning and thunder spread like a yawn.
The dark cloud that should have dissipated after being used up not only did not disappear, but after completing its mission, it took advantage of the last bit of activity time to wander around the secret realm.
The rain poured down without stopping for five whole days.
The monks who had settled down by the river were forced to move because of the rain. The river water rose and flooded the camp in a few minutes.
The monks in the wilderness were in a miserable situation. They had no place to hide from the sudden rain.
I had planned to withstand it with my body, but the rain didn't stop, and the rain fell on my body, making me feel numb as if I had been struck by lightning.
Many people stepped into puddles and were nearly electrocuted.
There was something strange about this rain, which was the common guess of everyone in the secret realm.
As for Lin Jin, who caused this strange situation, she was not bothered at all. Instead, she walked in the rain with an umbrella in hand and came to the place indicated on the map.
Three piles of stones are concentrated on a plain, one big and two small, like a general and guards.
There is a row of small stones painted on the largest pile of stones. Whenever someone appears, a corresponding stone shadow will appear on it.
There are quite a few people who come here for the opportunity. Some of them rest against spirit beasts, some hold swords, and some sit cross-legged with various formations on the side to study the pile of stones.
The two groups of people who had separated from Lin Jin before arrived here almost at the same time after she had experienced two ambushes and had to take a detour.
The monks and elves dispersed immediately after arriving at their destination. Each group found a place to sit down and did not disturb each other. They sat cross-legged and tried to recover their strength.
The rain showed no sign of abating, but these people were not bothered at all.
Each of them was covered with barriers, which automatically dispersed the rain when it fell on their heads, so many people didn't even get their hair wet.
Lin Jin looked at the thin barrier in surprise. It didn't look like a weapon but more like a barrier.
The monk who was stared at by her felt a little unhappy. He opened his eyes from meditation and saw that there was nothing wrong with the person. He changed his side to meditate and only left his back.
Feeling disliked, Lin Jin touched her nose, retracted her curiosity, and walked to another open space under the big rock to sit down.
After sitting and waiting for a long time, I finally felt the rain gradually subsiding, and at least there was no electric current in the water.
The group of people who were practicing opened their eyes at the same time, retracted the barrier above their heads and touched it. Seeing that the raindrops were stopping very quickly, they immediately stopped practicing, stood up tacitly and moved to the front of the pile of rocks.
Lin Jin was originally planning to go over and grab the front row, but she looked at the sky above where it was still drizzling, and then looked at the map where her location was still flashing. After thinking about it, she decided to sit down cross-legged and not move.
Sure enough, the rain seemed to be about to stop, but after half an hour it still hadn't stopped completely, and the falling raindrops could still drip down the foreheads of a group of people.
Just when everyone thought they had guessed the rules of the secret realm incorrectly, they suddenly heard a noise coming from afar.
