“Ah! No…! Help!!”

The screams of their companions echoed in the forest and could be heard from far away.

“Run!”

These young men were frightened upon seeing this and immediately turned around and ran away without caring about their other companions for fear of being implicated.

Seeing this, Lin Tian snorted coldly, waved his arms, and a ball of golden light flew out.

The golden light fell on the vines that had emerged, making a hissing sound, and everything turned into ashes wherever it passed.

These vines didn't dare to stay outside anymore, and they burrowed into the soil one after another, eventually disappearing without a trace.

"Are you all right?"

Lin Tian squatted down and spoke to the girl who was still lying on the ground and shivering. At the same time, he used his spiritual energy to check her body. After making sure that there were no seeds left, he slowly stood up.

Hearing this, the girl's face was filled with fear. She knew that she was lucky this time because Lin Tian saved her.

Otherwise she would have died with her companions, so she quickly got up from the ground and saluted Lin Tian.

"Chunrui, take out the medicine in your bag and give it to her."

Murong Chunrui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she still obediently took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian poured the medicine on her wound.

Suddenly, a slight coolness came over the originally painful skin.

The girl didn't know what to say, she just looked at Lin Tian silently.

"Okay, your wound should be fine now."

"Remember, don't touch anything. This is for you. If you encounter some dangerous plants, use this to retreat immediately. Do you understand?"

The girl looked at Lin Tian's profile and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Although this feeling was subtle, it was real.

"Yeah! I'll definitely remember it!"

"Okay, now you guys hurry up and leave here. I'm leaving first."

"Wait! Don't leave. Can this thing really protect me? How about you protect us down the mountain!"

Hearing this, Lin Tian's face was filled with black lines. How could there be such a shameless person? He clearly saved her.

She was about to say something shameless, but upon hearing that, Murong Chunrui stood up.

"Let me take you down."

Thank you, sister.

The girl looked at Murong Chunrui with gratitude, and then she and another companion followed Murong Chunrui down the mountain.

Seeing this, Lin Tian had no choice but to follow. He didn't want Murong Chunrui to get hurt. As for the other NPCs, it didn't matter to them.

The journey down the mountain sounds simple, but there are many monsters. Lin Tian killed several monsters and obtained several demon pills.

For some reason, the road that was clearly blocked when Lin Tian and Murong Chunrui arrived was now open.

Why is this?

Could it be that it was broken by someone else?

No matter what, Lin Tian still went to the town carefully. After sending the girl and others back, Lin Tian stood at the door in a daze.

"There is an inn there. Let's rest there first. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow."

Lin Tian looked at Murong Chunrui with a smile, subconsciously made a hand gesture and said.

Murong Chunrui nodded. She was also very tired and needed to find a safe place to rest. After all, she was still frightened when she thought about what had happened just now.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You didn't notice why the layout there changed?"

After thinking carefully, Murong Chunrui recalled the original road and found that it had long disappeared, replaced by another one.

"There should be a formation there. If someone who is not chosen touches this formation, it will be triggered. Perhaps only you can affect the changes in the formation, so..."

"So those people's deaths have something to do with me?"

Lin Tian did not hide it and told Murong Chunrui about it directly.

Nodding, Murong Chunrui subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't be afraid. This matter has nothing to do with you. If they weren't greedy, how could this happen?"

After saying some words to comfort Murong Chunrui, Lin Tian also quietly used the Tianji Pen to modify the settings of the mechanism.

Murong Chunrui has a kind heart. If things continue to develop like this, her heart will definitely be affected.

This is not what Lin Tian wants to see, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible to prevent Murong Chunrui from being affected.

"Okay, let's take a break first."

Lin Tian looked around, then closed the door, tried a calming spell, and left.

Then Lin Tian came to a remote cave by himself.

After knocking on the wall, ancient and weathered patterns appeared on the stone walls of the cave.

Judging from his familiar techniques, this was not his first time entering this cave.

The cave was not dark, but rather bright, which made Lin Tian very confused.

"What's going on? Has anyone been here?"

Walking to the middle of the cave, Lin Tian carefully observed the patterns on the stone wall.

But his frown became deeper and deeper, and the patterns also changed accordingly.

Could it be that the change happened because I changed the original rules without authorization?

But this phenomenon has never happened before. Is there something wrong with the Tianji Pen? Or should I not write like this? As expected, cause and effect cannot be changed without authorization. Even if there is a Tianji Pen, cause and effect must be followed.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt a little headache.

He snapped his fingers, and the symbols around him changed again.

"It seems that my guess was correct."

After putting away the Tianji Pen, Lin Tian sat cross-legged in the cave and began to cast a spell.

Soon after, he felt a huge mental force surging into his mind. In an instant, he understood everything and took control of the follow-up of this trial.

After putting away his skills, Lin Tian looked at the pattern on the stone wall and fell into deep thought. This trial was indeed a test.

Clapping his hands and calculating that it was about time, Lin Tian got up and returned to the inn.

At this time, Murong Chunrui was still sleeping soundly, and seemed to be completely unaware that there were evil people around her who were eyeing her.

Seeing this, Lin Tian shook his head. Murong Chunrui's safety was the most important.

Lin Tian did not disturb Murong Chunrui's rest. He quietly retreated and made some noise. Those people retreated in fear and went out of the city.

When they arrived outside the city, Lin Tian saw them gathered together, discussing something.

Lin Tian didn't hear clearly what they were discussing, but when he saw their expressions, he knew they were definitely talking about Murong Chunrui.

"I think the person in that room must be the legendary goddess."

"I heard that she usually doesn't leave the mountain. I don't know why she came down the mountain this time, but this is the only chance for her to treat us."
