However, Meng Zhe didn't know what was going on with Shang Lin. Seeing that he hadn't replied to his messages or called him, he figured he'd be going back tomorrow anyway, and they could contact each other again when he had time.
Meng Fanyu has been extremely excited these past two days. On the one hand, his son is indeed a rare genius in the Meng family, and on the other hand, he has finally determined a way to prolong his son's life.
If conditions allowed, Meng Fanyu would have liked to participate in the subsequent rescue work with his son. However, after today, there was no possibility of rescuing anyone alive, and his son still had to go to school, so he had to go back.
In fact, Meng Fanyu wanted to call Shang Lin to thank him in person, or arrange a time to meet and express his gratitude. He also wanted to take whatever he could from their basement.
However, Shang Lin was completely unaware of all this. He slept very soundly and even had a dream that he hadn't had in a long time. In the dream, a man dressed in black and red ancient-style clothes smiled at him arrogantly, but the next second he reached out to strangle him.
Shang Lin jolted awake from his sleep, his heart pounding like a drum, the sound even making his eardrums vibrate. He let out a long breath, and then heard She Jinxing's concerned voice, "What's wrong, Sect Master?"
Shang Lin slowly sat up, and only after her heartbeat had calmed down did she reply, "I had another dream. In the dream, that person was going to strangle me."
The sect leader's dream was no simple matter. She Jinxing hurriedly turned on the emergency light and carefully looked at Shang Lin, "Is the sect leader alright? Did you see that person's face clearly?"
Shang Lin thought about it seriously, but couldn't remember anything. He only remembered the clothes and the other person's unrestrained and flamboyant laughter. He gently shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
After speaking, Shang Lin lay down again, feeling weak. He picked up his phone and glanced at the time; it was already one in the morning. He was sleeping very soundly. He turned over and noticed that Situ Pojun's sleeping bag was empty, so he casually asked, "Where's Situ Pojun?"
Seeing that Shang Lin was alright, She Jinxing went back to bed. "I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I went out to work. You know, their company is busiest at night."
Shang Lin paused, then couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, making money is never easy. One day for Situ Pojun is equivalent to two days for others. Doesn't he need to rest?"
"There must be some method involved, right? Besides, he doesn't necessarily do this every day!" That's something no one could stand.
As they were talking, Shang Lin drifted off to sleep again, but this time he hadn't slept for an hour before he opened his eyes, rolled over with his sleeping bag, and then something stuck to the spot where he had just been lying.
The next second, She Jinxing stood in front of Shang Lin, blocking the attack that came again. The next second, Hu Tangdi also appeared in the tent. Shang Lin hurriedly said, "Overlap the space first."
There are tents all outside. What if someone gets hurt? This thing that hasn't shown itself yet is really dangerous. Hu Tangdi immediately did as instructed and quickly protected Shang Lin.
In the dim light, Shang Lin could only see She Jinxing's movements, but not the thing that had attacked him. Moreover, when the two were locked in close combat, the sound of heavy metal colliding was like the dull thud of metal striking each other.
Shang Lin knew that She Jinxing's scales could make that sound, but what about the other party? Could it also be some kind of species with scales? Although the earthworms that were killed the day before yesterday were large, they still looked no different from ordinary earthworms, and their bodies were still soft.
The ones we killed yesterday, although they had shells, were about as hard as ordinary centipede shells, or maybe a little harder. They wouldn't produce a heavy metallic sound when they collided like this one.
Shang Lin wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Hu Tangdi. "Even the little snake can't do anything about it. Why don't you let Lü Yao try it, Sect Master? Let's see what's so hard."
Knowing that what Shang Lin could figure out, Hu Tangdi could too, he released Lü Yao, saying, "We have new fertilizer. See if you can handle it?"
Upon hearing the word "fertilizer," Lü Yao's eyes lit up and he rushed over. A moment later, She Jinxing retreated, and then a "rain of swords" began to fall.
Unfortunately, after a while, Greenie ran back dejectedly, saying, "It's hard, it won't work."
Shang Lin was shocked. Even Green One's "Sword Rain" couldn't handle it. Could it be a tortoise shell?! He hurriedly called to the Divine Lord, "Quickly lend me your Heart-Protecting Qilin."
But the next second, the thing rushed over again, its target very clear: Shang Lin. She Jinxing and Hu Tangdi together shielded him, and Hu Tangdi even tried using his claw hook, but it didn't hurt the creature.
In that instant, she also thought of tortoise shells, or even the shells of Xuan tortoises, otherwise ordinary tortoise shells would never be so hard, and how come there are other demons in this place?
The deity reluctantly gave the Heart-Protecting Scale to Shang Lin, adding, "Give it back to me when you're done."
Shang Lin gave a self-deprecating laugh, "We'll have to get past this hurdle first."
The deity paused, "What thing is so powerful?"
Shang Lin said, "I don't know," before rushing forward.
The deity was startled and shouted, "Shang Lin, have you lost your mind? You dare to rush forward without knowing anything? How many lives do you have?"
Shang Lin didn't have time to pay attention to the Divine Lord at the moment, but the next second he saw the Divine Lord's figure grow larger. The four of them were being completely fooled by something they didn't know.
However, not long after the exchange, Shang Lin knew what it was. It was a black and red scorpion. He didn't know how many years this scorpion had been a spirit, but its shell was truly comparable to that of a black tortoise.
Even the Divine Lord's Heart-Protecting Scales could only leave marks on its shell, but could not cause any real damage to the creature itself. Shang Lin could only try to find a way to attack its joints, but he could not find an opportunity. It seemed that they were about to be at a disadvantage.
She Jinxing quickly transformed into his original form, which gave him the upper hand in terms of momentum and allowed everyone a moment to catch their breath. However, the scorpion was very cunning and, during the battle, used a mix of feints and real attacks to sting She Jinxing in the eye.
She Jinxing instinctively dodged, but was still stung, the pain causing his head to snap to the side, his vision to blur, and he could barely see anything.
Seeing this, Hu Tangdi also revealed her true form, but Shang Lin grabbed her just as she was about to rush forward, saying, "Don't go to your death. This scorpion is probably several thousand years old, and its shell is too hard; you can't do anything to it."
The Divine Lord also stood in front of Hu Tangdi, saying, "You take Shang Lin and the little snake and go first."
Hu Tangdi was filled with resentment, but she still tried to escape with one hand on each arm. However, the next second, the Divine Lord was flung away by the scorpion tail, and she could only barely block the scorpion tail that was stinging towards Shang Lin.
Shang Lin seized the opportunity and cut the Heart-Protecting Scale towards the joint of the scorpion's tail. However, the scorpion saw through his intention and turned its tail straight for his heart...
