"Yes, Star Stone."
Xiao Chen nodded and handed the Star Stone to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took it and looked at it carefully: "Why does it seem smaller?"
"Well, I think this thing should be a consumable. If you use it, it will become smaller."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"There is such a saying. After I gave it to you, you didn't use it?"
Xiao Lin was surprised.
“I thought you used it.”
"I didn't use it. I used it on Zi Yi, but it didn't help much."
Xiao Chen said.
"This is something Uncle Seventh paid for with his life. How can I use it?"
"hehe."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin smiled and looked at the star stone carefully. It was as bright as a star.
"Come to think of it, I really paid for it with my life. It was a place where I barely escaped death."
"Uncle Qi, tell me about the no-man's land."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and said.
"Why, are you going to no man's land?"
Xiao Lin asked, moving his eyes away from the Star Stone.
"I probably won't go for now, I just want to learn more."
Xiao Chen said.
"You have to understand it so that you can make plans early."
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"But in the no-man's land, even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to make any plans... because you still don't understand."
"Why?"
Xiao Chen showed a look of surprise.
"Haven't you been there?"
"Yes, I've been there, but it's said that no man's land looks different to everyone who goes there... Maybe that's a bit exaggerated, but it does change frequently! At least, the no man's land I went to was different from what they said!"
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"No Man's Land is a place where one is 100 percent sure to die, but there are still people who come out alive. I'm just one of them... The news about the No Man's Land was also brought out by those who came out alive, but everyone's story is different."
“Everyone who goes there looks different?”
Xiao Chen was even more surprised.
"Isn't it possible that the place you are going to is not an uninhabited area?"
"One, both in the Far West."
Xiao Lin shook his head and said.
"But it is so magical, otherwise it would not have existed for so many years, and the outside world still knows very little about it. It is extremely mysterious."
"Could it be an illusion?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.
"Some people have said so, but there are also formation masters who have been in there. As far as I know, there is a formation master in the Zhuge family who has been to the no-man's land."
Xiao Lin said.
"Then what?"
Xiao Chen asked hurriedly, if it was a formation master from the Zhuge family, and if there really was an illusion formation, then he should be able to see it or break it.
"And then? There was no then. He never came out again... He must have died in there."
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of which, I was able to get in and out, it was really luck... It's a place where one's life is at risk of death. If I can go there in this lifetime and come out alive, it can be considered that my life is not lived in vain."
"So what does the no-man's land look like?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.
"In the beginning, it was a desolate place, with literally no grass growing... Later, there was a large jungle, surrounded by mountains."
Xiao Lin held the Star Stone and spoke slowly, seeming to be recalling something.
"A desolate place with no grass growing? A vast jungle surrounded by mountains?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. Isn't this somewhat contradictory?
"There is also a very large lake. The water in that lake is red, like blood."
When Xiao Lin said this, his expression changed several times.
"Thinking about it now, it still makes me feel palpitations..."
"Is it blood?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, but...it feels very strange."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"The Red Lake has been seen and mentioned by those who came out alive before, but the rest doesn't match up."
“…”
Listening to Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen also felt it was a bit weird. This no-man's land... was not specific and could change?
"Uncle Qi, what about the Star Stone? Where did you get it?"
"I bypassed the Red Lake and continued walking forward. There was a canyon... The Star Stone was what I got in that canyon."
Xiao Lin said.
"What about... danger?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, up to this point, it was just weird, but far from the reputation of being a life-threatening situation.
“By the time I got to this canyon, I was pretty badly injured.”
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and smiled bitterly.
Then he raised his right arm and pointed to a wound: "See it?"
"Is this... something that was bitten?"
Xiao Chen looked at the wound and asked.
"Yes, there is a strange fish in the Red Lake. It has wings and can fly out of the Red Lake... Not only do they have wings, they also have fangs and are extremely ferocious. This is what the strange fish bit them."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Flying fish?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, then looked at Xiao Lin's arm.
"Uncle Qi, are you sure this was bitten by a flying fish? Not some ferocious beast?"
"No, it's a flying fish."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Have you seen these flying fish? Are there any old sows there that can climb trees?"
Xiao Chen looked at the wound on Xiao Lin's arm again and said half-jokingly.
"have."
Xiao Lin took a sip of water.
"But how did you know that?"
"ah?"
Xiao Chen was completely stunned. There were even old sows that could climb trees? How could this be an uninhabited area? Was this a strange world?
"I have seen pigs that can climb trees, but I don't know if they are sows."
Xiao Lin corrected himself and said.
"There are many animals in that jungle. They all seem to have mutated. There are flying fish, pigs that climb trees, and snakes with two heads..."
“Uncle Qi, before I came here just now, you guys were bragging. Didn’t you drink?”
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
Why did he feel that his seventh uncle seemed to be drunk?
How many dishes?
The key point is... he didn't see any vegetables either.
"I'm talking to you seriously."
Xiao Lin stared, why did he drink?
"Well, no matter who listens to you, it doesn't sound serious."
Xiao Chen was speechless.
"Will you listen? If not, I won't say anything. I rarely bring up these things."
Xiao Lin was annoyed.
"Listen, listen, keep talking. You were bitten by a fish, and then what happened? You met a pig climbing a tree? What did it do to you?"
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"The pig didn't do anything to me, but the snake...nearly killed me."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"Oh? The one with two heads? Is this a deformed snake?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I don't know. I only know that it is extremely poisonous. It bit me and within a minute, my whole body was paralyzed and I fell to the ground..."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"And then?"
Xiao Chen didn't think Xiao Lin would lie to him, so he asked hurriedly.
"Later...something like an eagle flew down and killed the two-headed snake."
Xiao Lin replied.
"Eagle? Okay, what about your poison?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Could it be that the eagle also detoxified you?"
"Bullshit... When I realized something was wrong, I swallowed a detoxification pill. It was a holy detoxification product. Slowly, I regained consciousness."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"After the eagle killed the snake, it took it away and left without paying any attention to me."
"Well, I would think it's abnormal if it saved you..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Go on, what about to the canyon?"
"In the canyon, I heard a fight."
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said.
"The sound of fighting? Is there someone else?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I thought there were people there at first, so I approached them in hiding... When I got there, I found that they were not people, but a wolf and a leopard fighting over something."
Xiao Lin said.
"Fighting for something? Could it be the Star Stone?"
Xiao Chen guessed.
"Yes, it's the Star Stone."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"That wolf and that leopard are both much bigger than the ones we usually see. The wolf can breathe fire, and the leopard can release lightning. Do you believe it?"
"Believe it. Fish can fly and pigs can climb trees... Now if you say they can talk, I will believe it too."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"But, Uncle Seven, I have a question now."
"What's the problem?"
Xiao Lin looked at him.
"You ask."
"Are you going to an uninhabited area? Are you going to the zoo?"
Xiao Chen looked strange.
“…”
Xiao Lin was speechless.
"But it does make sense that there are only animals and no people... no man's land."
Xiao Chen thought of something and spoke again.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to listen?"
Xiao Lin stared.
"Listen, keep talking. How did the Star Stone come into your hands? Did you kill the wolf and the leopard and take the Star Stone?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, any of them is as strong as me... Even with my current strength, I may not be able to win."
Xiao Lin shook his head and spoke slowly.
"So strong?"
Xiao Chen was surprised, and finally became serious.
"Yeah, very strong."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"How did the Star Stone end up in your hands?"
Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"They perished together, and now they are in my hands."
Xiao Lin replied.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless, he really didn't expect this to be the ending!
So this star stone was picked up?
"I went to the no-man's land for the Star Stone. After I got the Star Stone, I didn't stay there for long, nor did I go any deeper. I left immediately..."
Xiao Lin said.
"To be precise, in addition to luck, I was able to control my curiosity and greed, which saved my life."
"Uncle Qi, have you ever thought about getting something else?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin. It was very difficult for a person to restrain his curiosity and greed.
"I did, but I thought of you."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"Thinking of me?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Yes, I went to the no-man's land for you. If I died in there, who would bring the star stone out for you? So, I can't die, I have to get out alive...
Xiao Lin said this and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Fortunately, I made it out alive, and I gave you the Star Stone."
“…”
Xiao Chen was touched, everything was for him.
"I asked around before I went in, and I also asked around after I came out... I might have only been to the outer area. As for the star stones, they were brought by wolves and leopards from somewhere else, so I think I was really lucky."
Xiao Lin smiled and took another sip of tea.
"Or maybe you are lucky. Maybe God knew that I went there for you, so he sent the Star Stone to me and asked me to bring it out."
