Chapter 578: Got shot even when lying down.
It is snowing heavily.
This world is buried in snow all day long. The celestial phenomena change a lot, but they are basically inseparable from the snow.
And the environment is extremely harsh.
The cold wind swept in the heavy snow, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold that could turn ordinary people into ice in an instant.
Even creatures above the Ghost King level would have to be unaffected by this kind of ice and snow.
There were few pedestrians on the road. Perhaps there were footprints left by someone, but they would be covered up again in no time under the heavy snow.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and my sense of time was becoming blurred. I wasn't sure if it was because the sky was too dark or if the sun had already set.
In the blizzard, a figure wearing a straw raincoat slowly walked out on an ancient road covered with snow.
It was Lin Chen.
In front of Lin Chen, a dilapidated thatched hut was emitting a little light. That light gave people a sense of warmth in the thick snow.
This was the source of the human breath that Lin Chen had sensed before.
An inn.
Outside the thatched hut, these four big words were written on a flag fluttering in the wind.
The language and writing of this world will naturally be somewhat different from those of later generations.
But Lin Chen only needed to use his mental power to comprehend the artistic conception of the unfamiliar text and he could easily recognize it. He could also master the language instantly when he came into contact with it.
squeak!
The wooden door might be a little old, and when Lin Chen opened it, it made a harsh friction sound.
The wooden door opened, and a warm breath poured out from the house, while the cold breath also poured into the house from the outside world along with Lin Chen.
The scene inside the house is in full view.
The lighting comes from some candles and the charcoal stoves sunken into the ordinary wooden tables and chairs, emitting a dim fiery red light.
The candle seemed to be specially made and not ordinary, because as the cold wind swept in, the faint flame only fluctuated with the wind for a while but did not go out.
There were also some people wearing straw raincoats in the inn.
These people, both men and women, sat in groups of three or five in different positions.
As for the uninvited guest Lin Chen, they just glanced at him and then looked away.
In the wind and snow, passers-by like Lin Chen were too ordinary and there was nothing worth noting.
"Guest, please take a seat. This place is close to the coldest Ice Spirit Forbidden Land. It's better to close the door, otherwise the little temperature inside will soon be blown away by the cold wind." A beautiful woman who still had her charm came forward and spoke.
Lin Chen had previously used his mental power to roughly scan the situation inside the inn, but at this moment he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
How come all the proprietresses of inns in the wilderness are so beautiful?
It actually gave him a sense of déjà vu of Dragon Gate Inn.
Lin Chen nodded calmly without any expression. After following the proprietress to take a seat, he said, "Just some wine and some meat."
The proprietress left with a smile on her face, and before leaving she even threw a wink at Lin Chen, looking very charming.
"The Ice Spirit Forbidden Land is expected to be opened. Several powerful forces have arrived this time. I wonder who will get the legendary ten thousand year old top grade cold jade spirit."
Any baby?
Lin Chen originally just wanted to integrate into this world, but he didn't expect to hear this news as soon as he came in. His eyes suddenly lit up and he became very interested.
But soon, he came to his senses, sighed helplessly, and took a sip of the wine handed to him by the proprietress.
Although no one knew what the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spirit was, so many people were fighting for this treasure, and it was eventually taken away by someone like him who shouldn't have been there. The consequences would be too great.
"The masters from the Jin Family, the Yu Family, the Ice Dragon Sect, the Jade Maiden Sect, and the Extremely Cold Sect are all here. This scene is unprecedented."
"Haha, if you ask me, this might end in a whimper. Things like the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spirit only exist in legends. It's not certain whether it exists in reality. No one has ever seen one."
"That was calculated by the Zhongzhou Divine Calculator . It's basically correct."
"An unprecedented divine object will soon appear in the Ice Spirit Forbidden Land, and the master will be able to rule the world. As soon as this was said, people quickly associated it with the Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade Spirit. According to legend, this object has endless energy, can help people break free from shackles, prolong their lifespan, and bring the dead back to life... It is also worthy of the saying that the master can rule the world."
"Except for the Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade Spirit, I can't think of anything else that deserves this comment."
Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Chen felt a little suspicious.
Where is the Bingling forbidden land?
There doesn't seem to be anything particularly dangerous around here.
I should have explored around first.
Lin Chen felt helpless and continued drinking. He was like a spectator, observing this period of history. He didn't want to disturb anyone, nor did he want to be disturbed by anyone.
“Squeak!”
The wooden door opened again and a group of people walked in from outside.
They were wearing long white gowns.
There are eight people in total.
Walking in front was a girl wearing a silver fox fur scarf. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an extremely beautiful appearance, three-dimensional and delicate features. She attracted everyone's attention as soon as she came in.
Behind her were four old men. They looked ordinary, but the energy they exuded was extraordinary.
Lin Chen could feel that the breathing of those four people was very strange, and the air they exhaled was even colder than the surrounding air.
As for their strength...
Four of the old men have celestial-level aura, while the silver fox girl only has palace-level aura.
"The eldest lady of Snow Fox City, Xue Xiaoyu!"
"No doubt about it, the four elders in the snow behind her."
"Is it starting already? We just received the news that someone with great power has arrived here."
Some people lamented that some of these people were travelers, while others lived nearby, so they gathered in the inn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." The proprietress' eyes lit up. As a boss, she liked big customers like this the most.
The silver fox girl had a calm expression. She looked around and then led everyone to sit at a large table near Lin Chen.
In this cold world, physical energy consumption is completely different. Basically, we need to obtain calories from food, and eating and drinking are human instincts. Generally speaking, most people are unwilling to give up this worldly atmosphere.
"Second sister, we are already near the Ice Spirit Forbidden Land. When are we going to enter?" A young man asked the silver fox girl in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, and he did not shy away from others.
"Wait two more days. The Ice Spirit Forbidden Land is too cold, and there is an avalanche that is too powerful. We need a lot of strong people to break through the cold air and resist the avalanche." The silver fox girl spoke calmly. Her voice was crisp and sounded very pleasant.
Lin Chen's hand holding up the cup froze.
avalanche?
He thought of the place where he fell. Not long after he entered this world, he encountered a huge avalanche with a power comparable to a sky-high blow.
The avalanche did not affect Lin Chen, so he did not take it too seriously and just thought it was a characteristic of this world.
I didn't expect that what the girl said would coincide with my own.
Ice Spirit Forbidden Land...
Lin Chen began to ponder, thinking carefully about the differences between that place and this place.
Soon, he discovered something suspicious.
First of all, the size of the snowflakes is different. When it snows there, the snowflakes are generally as big as basketballs, but the snow near this inn is obviously smaller on an individual basis.
In addition, under the avalanche, Lin Chen clearly felt a pure ice energy. Now it seems that such ice energy is not common in this world.
It is very likely related to the Ten Thousand Year Old Cold Spirit Jade that these people mentioned!
"If I had known, I should have searched inside before coming out." Lin Chen shook his head, feeling like he had missed out on a treasure trove.
Although he couldn't take the Ten Thousand Year Cold Spirit Jade away, he could stay nearby and absorb a little bit of ice energy to improve his understanding of the laws of ice.
"snort!"
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Lin Chen, who was deep in thought, was awakened and looked up.
I saw an old man among the so-called four old men in the snow, looking at me coldly, and he was the one who snorted coldly.
Coming for me?
Lin Chen was surprised.
"What's the matter? "
Lin Chen asked, looking very surprised.
He didn't do anything, so why was he targeted? Is there something wrong with this old man?
"Which force are you from?" the old man asked.
As Lin Chen and the old man spoke, everyone present turned their eyes over. Like Lin Chen, they were all surprised by the old man's sudden attack.
"What power do I belong to? I'm just a casual cultivator in the mountains and I don't have any power." Lin Chen wanted to slam the table, but thinking that this was history, he held back.
In a sense, the existence of these people are just phantoms left over in time. To put it bluntly, they are like dead people. Naturally, there is no need for him to conflict with them because of such things and cause cause and effect.
The old man narrowed his eyes, understood the meaning of Lin Chen's previous words, and immediately became angry.
"Second Uncle." The silver fox woman spoke and stopped the old man.
"Miss, this man had a stiff expression and behaved strangely when you were talking just now. It was obvious that he was thinking about something." The old man whispered.
Lin Chen: “…”
He finally understood why the old man suddenly jumped up. Wasn't it possible for him to think about it for a while?
"Is it not okay for me to remember what happened in the past? Why do you think I have feelings for you? Do I have to listen to you guys talking?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask back.
"How dare you!" The old man suddenly stood up, his temper surprisingly bad.
At this moment, the silver fox girl suddenly said, "Uncle, forget it. What they said is right. When you are out, don't make enemies with others because of this matter."
The silver fox woman had a very high status, and with just one word, she made the old man sit back.
"My dear brother, my second uncle has a bad temper, and something went wrong during his practice before. Please don't be offended." The silver fox woman took the initiative to explain, looking embarrassed while speaking.
After hearing this, Lin Chen also understood.
It turns out that this old man has gone too far in his practice and has lost control of his emotions. No wonder he is so irritable.
He nodded to indicate that it didn't matter.
Everyone put their minds at ease.
Although this thatched house is not ordinary, if someone really does something here, it will probably be destroyed at any time. By then, no one will have a good place to stay.
Fortunately, the silver fox woman stopped the conflict in time, and the strange man was also sensible and didn't say much...
Just when everyone had this thought, Lin Chen, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up.
"What are you doing? I'm doing this to save our young lady's face..."
The grumpy old man first glared and spoke rudely, thinking that Lin Chen wanted to continue to embarrass them, but before he could say anything, he could no longer speak.
Lin Chen picked up his wine and meat, turned around and walked to the corner of the hotel without saying a word.
Then he continued eating.
“…”
The whole audience was stunned.
Even the silver fox woman opened her mouth slightly.
Are we being disliked?
After seeing Lin Chen's action, she actually felt an extremely obvious disdain and disgust.
This sudden attitude of standing up and moving away is as if they have some contagious disease.
As the heiress to a powerful family, Silver Fox Girl has never encountered anyone treating her like this.
"How dare you!" The grumpy old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Lin Chen, who had moved away on his own initiative, saw the grumpy old man jump up again and could not help but say nothing: "I really don't mean anything else, you guys just continue to eat and drink, I just changed the table, you can just think of it as a fresher air here."
Everyone widened their eyes.
Isn't this a subtle hint that someone stinks?
I thought he was a good-tempered person, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. Who is this person?
Bang!
The desktop shattered instantly.
The old man slammed the table and stood up, looking like he was about to start a fight if they had a disagreement.
"Oh, my elm wood table top made of elm sandalwood... Dear customers, our shop is just a small business. Please don't do anything here and ruin other people's hard work." Upon seeing this, the beautiful proprietress hurriedly tried to smooth things over, feeling very sad about the broken table top.
But this time, the old man did not calm down his anger, but looked at Lin Chen with full momentum.
"What a psycho!"
Lin Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. I was just a person who came to eat, but I met a guy who was obsessed with practicing martial arts and insisted that he was hostile to him.
Explanations are not enough, and staying away from it on my own initiative is not enough. Is this world so resistant to me?
Lin Chen sighed and prepared to leave.
There's no point in talking to someone who is unreasonable.
"Second brother, stop making trouble!" another old man spoke up. He looked older.
"Brother, this kid is insulting us!"
"Alright, you scared them. Sit down quickly. We in Snow Fox City are not a force that bullies others by taking advantage of our power. Also, if you really can't control your emotions, stay indoors for the next two days and don't come out to cause trouble."
The older man scolded him and calmed him down, then said to Lin Chen: "Little brother, my second brother is not usually like this. Please forgive me for offending you today."
The strong people in this world are quite polite to the weak.
Lin Chen came up with this idea.
He was just emitting the same palace-level fluctuations as the silver fox woman, but he didn't expect that such a powerful person of the all-powerful level would come to apologize in person.
If this happened in the horror world, they would have probably bitten it off in one bite without even talking to you.
No matter whether you really have the idea or not, Tongtian Gui says it exists and it exists, which fully demonstrates the law of the survival of the fittest.
But this is not obvious in this world. At least Tongtian apologized to the hall. This kind of fairy tale story actually happened in front of Lin Chen.
"Okay, I got it."
Lin Chen had no choice but to sit back temporarily, giving up the idea of leaving.
The silver fox girl spoke up and said:
"Brother, are you here for the Ten Thousand Years Cold Spirit Jade as well? If so, are you willing to join us in Snow Fox City to explore the Ice Spirit Forbidden Land?"
