What's wrong with being a salted fish?

"Senior brother? What do you want from me?" Lin Zhuo answered the call, a little confused as to what Cang Yunze wanted from him. Is it for a special product?

"..." Cang Yunze was very silent and did not speak.

Lin Zhuo waited for a few minutes, but Cang Yunze still didn't say anything. Lin Zhuo started walking around the forbidden area, and there was no grass growing wherever he went.

"Were you kidnapped? Or did someone put the knife on your neck? Why didn't you say anything?"

Lin Zhuo was really curious now. Why was Cang Yunze so embarrassed to speak when he took the initiative to contact him? Is it so hard to talk about it?

"You just say something if you have something? You can't just listen to my voice, right?" Lin Zhuo asked again.

It's been less than a month since he came to the Demon Realm, and Lu Mian should still be in the Songhua Secret Realm. Does he need to contact him for anything?

"Are you okay?" Cang Yunze finally spoke.

"Senior Brother, as you said, I am active and active every day, which is quite good." Lin Zhuo found a tree at random and leaned against it.

"Then...have you seen Xiao Su?" Cang Yunze was hesitant and a little embarrassed when he spoke.

"Su Ziqi? I haven't seen him yet, but he will be there soon." The army has arrived and the battle will begin soon.

"..." Cang Yunze stopped talking again.

Lin Zhuo shook the communication stone, but there was indeed no sound coming out. I wonder if there is still a saying in the world of cultivation that the signal is not good?

Just when Lin Zhuo was about to hang up the communication, Cang Yunze spoke again: "If, I mean if, can we spare his life..."

"..."

Lin Zhuo was silent this time, not because Cang Yunze was interceding for Su Ziqi, but because he felt that Cang Yunze's words were so familiar.

The one who co-wrote the script for protecting the apprentice in this week’s episode is you, my good senior brother!

"Are you serious?" Lin Zhuo sighed and replied.

Cang Yunze also knew that he shouldn't say this. He also saw with his own eyes the scene recorded on the photo stone at that time. It was Su Ziqi who moved his hand towards Lin Zhuo first. It was really inhumane for him to say this now; but he was confused. After so many days, I still can’t bear it.

"Junior brother, I know I shouldn't say this. I just...just...don't want my apprentice to die at the hands of his fellow disciples..." Cang Yunze stammered, even with some incoherent words.

Finally, Cang Yunze sighed deeply: "Just a glimmer of life is enough, I don't ask for anything else!"

......

Lin Zhuo was walking in the streets of Beicheng, carrying some food in his hand, and still thinking about Cang Yunze's communication just now.

Lin Zhuo never thought that Cang Yunze would plead for Su Ziqi. It seemed that Cang Yunze cared about this short master-disciple relationship.

"It's a pity, no one will come to visit me in the future." Lin Zhuo muttered.

"Host, what are you talking about?" 0617 only heard Lin Zhuo making some noises and had no idea what he was talking about.

"Nothing." Lin Zhuo shook his head.

While Lin Zhuo was humming a little tune and wandering around the street, Su Ziqi's men who were responsible for guarding the forbidden area rushed into Su Ziqi's study.

Su Ziqi was discussing countermeasures with Bai Ming and his party when he saw this man hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

"What's so urgent?" Su Ziqi frowned, why didn't he have any sense of propriety.

"Back to my lord, the Nine-step Lotus in the forbidden area is lost!" The man quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head.

"Useless thing!" Su Ziqi smashed the thing at hand next to his head.

"If you can't keep him well, drag him down and throw him into a snake's nest." Su Ziqi decided the person's whereabouts in an understatement.

Jiu Bu Lian, it seems that Master has arrived in Beicheng.

"Lord?"

Because of this little episode, the study room became quiet for a while. Everyone saw Su Ziqi holding his face, closing his eyes, and frowning without saying anything. No one dared to make him angry at this time. In the end, they could only let Bai Ming, who was more trusted by Su Ziqi, Speak for them.

"That's it. The discussion is almost over." Su Ziqi opened his eyes and said in a cold tone: "He can't go far, go find him and find Jiu Bulian."

With that said, Su Ziqi threw a black stone to each of several people from the space.

"Follow it, it will guide you to the whereabouts of Jiubulian."

When he saw Lin Zhuo trying to pick off the twins, Su Ziqi guessed that the other party also needed the Nine-step Lotus, so after returning to the demon world, he marked the Nine-step Lotus, even if the other party moved into the space, it would not help.

After everyone left, Su Ziqi held the remaining black stones and rolled them in his hand: Master, we will see you again soon.

......

"Is it my imagination? Is someone looking for me?" Lin Zhuo stood on the street and looked back, but there seemed to be nothing unusual behind him.

"I feel the same, host, or let's run away!" 0617 agreed with Lin Zhuo's words and advised him to leave quickly.

From now on, there seems to be a bunch of strange guys on the street, and they seem to be looking for something.

Lin Zhuo felt inexplicably that these people were looking for him, so he hid himself in the sea of ​​people.

But those people seemed to have some kind of locator in their hands. Not only did Lin Zhuo not throw it away, but the people searching for it gathered together.

"It's a bit troublesome. These people have something in their hands that can determine my location." Lin Zhuo frowned as he watched the searcher get closer to him.

It seemed that the spiritual plant in the forbidden area had been tampered with, and I was still too careless to think that Su Ziqi was defenseless.

Just when Lin Zhuo was wondering whether to leave first, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Qinghe? Why are you here?"

Lin Zhuo turned around and found that the person tapping him on the shoulder was a strong man who was a head taller than him. He had two obvious magic lines on his face and a pair of goat horns on his head.

"Who are you? How do you know me?" Lin Zhuo was shocked in his heart. Does Bai Ming look like this? With this guy, it's really hard for him to pretend to be a soft man.

With Bai Ming's demeanor, Lin Zhuo felt that if the other party punched him, he might be in pain for a long time.

"I..." Bai Ming was about to say why Lin Zhuo didn't recognize him, but suddenly he thought that he had returned to his original appearance, no longer that thin figure. It was normal for Lin Zhuo not to recognize him.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Zhuo didn't want to get entangled with him. If he said a few words to him, the people behind him would get closer to him, and he didn't know if Bai Ming had anything that could help him locate himself.

"You!" Bai Ming was distracted and failed to stop Lin Zhuo, and then he found that the other party had disappeared into the crowd.

Bai Ming was a little frustrated. He was planning to invite the other party to dinner and play, all because of that damn disguise.

Just when Bai Ming was annoyed about why he didn't stop the other party, he discovered that the black stone given by Su Ziqi reacted extremely strongly to his right hand.

Bai Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just slapped Qing He on the shoulder with his right hand.

As he thought, the next path pointed by the black stone was the direction Lin Zhuo left.

Bai Ming realized that Qinghe was the thief who stole the flowers!

How dare he? ! He actually stole something from his master!

Bai Ming quickly followed the guidance of the black stones and caught up.

......

Lin Zhuo ran all the way west into the dense woods, hiding his figure.

"Host, wouldn't it be safer for us to go back to your man at this time?" 0617 shivered, not understanding why Lin Zhuo chose to run into the woods.

"Look what you said, I'm safer alone, thank you."

Lin Zhuo said as he jumped onto a tall and lush tree and used the leaves to hide himself.

His fingertips moved as if he were practicing picking strings in the air, leaving 0617 confused.

"Host, what are you doing? Playing the air?"

"Shh, look carefully." Lin Zhuo kept moving his fingers, flipping his hands back and forth, and 0617 finally saw clearly under the refraction of the light. There were many thin threads between Lin Zhuo's fingers.

Following Lin Zhuo's movements, these threads were entangled on the branches of various trees, on the stones on the roadside, and even on the roots of flowers and plants, like a giant spread net, covering the entire area.

Lin Zhuo himself is like a cheetah hiding among the leaves, waiting for the opportunity to hunt.

"Swish, swish, swish -" More and more people are pouring into the woods, and the wind is rubbing against the plants, making a swish sound.

"The show is about to begin." Lin Zhuo raised his hand, the thread shining slightly.

He is an experienced hunter, just waiting for his prey to fall into the net.

"Whoosh!—"

As this faint sound sounded, screams gradually sounded in the forest.

"what!--"

As Lin Zhuo tightened the thread, those who stepped into the trap immediately let out shrill screams that could not be heard without interruption.

Their arms, legs and other parts were cut open by sharp silk threads injected with spiritual energy, and even their flesh and bones were separated; the ones wrapped around their necks were the most silent ones, and they usually left this world without even making a sound.

"Hey! So bloody, so violent!" 0617 wanted to cover his eyes, but found that he had no hands at all, so he had to choose to close his eyes.

"Shh, don't disturb me." Lin Zhuo said.

Lin Zhuo controlled these threads with one hand to restrict the movement of these people, and the fingers of his other hand flew around. Many thin threads appeared from the forest and wrapped around the necks of the remaining people.

When Bai Ming arrived looking for guidance, what he saw was a large amount of blood stains; in the grass, on the ground, on the trees, all over the sky.

Bai Ming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and took two steps back.

The blood formed a stream and slowly flowed to his feet.

"Hey, Bai Ming, you're here too? You move very quickly." Bai Ming turned around and saw his colleagues.

A slutty man who likes to wear purple clothes, his name is Qianzuru.

Bai Ming hesitated to speak and looked at Qianhe, but did not answer his words.

Chizuru was still wearing purple clothes today, with white fur draped across his neck and arms, and he even had a touch of rouge on his face.

Seeing that Bai Ming didn't speak, he didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Bai is so inactive, don't blame me for catching this little thief first."

With that said, Qianhe led his men past Bai Ming and prepared to go deeper inside.

Bai Ming didn't stop him. Instead, he took a step back and stretched out his hand to signal Qianhe to move forward.

Seeing his actions, Qianhe found it a bit funny. He turned his head and spoke to Bai Ming: "Brother Bai asked me to give you half of the reward when I catch the thief!"

Before Qianzhe could say a few words, he saw that his own men had gradually stopped advancing and stood there.

"Why did you stop?" Qianzhe frowned, turned around and bumped into something soft.

Qianzhe looked up and saw a drop of blood dripping on his face. The soft thing was a corpse. He was also familiar with the person who was hung because this person was his subordinate.

!!!

Qianzhe hurriedly retreated, wiped the blood from his face, and took a closer look. He found that the branches in front of him were covered with corpses like this. One after another, with broken limbs and legs, they were hung up like puppets. Seeing Qianzhe He Wang came over, and several others raised their arms and waved to him, as if to say hello to him.

Damn it! He asked Bai Ming why he wasn't in a hurry at all!

"Brother Bai, it's not good if you don't remind me, right?" Qianhe's voice sounded a little gritted.

"Don't slander me, I didn't even come forward to look." Bai Ming shook his head, saying that it was none of his business, it was Qianhe who had to rush forward.

"you!"

Before Qianzhe finished speaking, the threads in the forest came alive again.

"Damn it!" Qianzhe couldn't dodge, and a small cut was made on his face by a silk thread.

"Are you all dead? Stand still!" Qianzuru's hands formed into claws, sucking his men over and throwing them behind him.

The man was thrown into the silk thread formation, and Lin Zhuo stretched the thread very tightly, so the man was immediately cut to pieces by the silk thread, but his blood also hung on the silk thread and dyed it red.

"Keep an eye on yourself!" The threads with blood were particularly obvious. Qianzhe took the lead to avoid these threads and rushed in.

"Bang!" Lin Zhuo curled his lips, shook the thread off his fingers, then turned around and ran deeper.

As Lin Zhuodu moved, all the "dolls" that were hung up crashed to the ground, blocking the path of some of Qianzhe's men.

"He's running away, chase him quickly!" Qianhe ordered loudly, and then he felt a gust of wind blowing around him.

Qianhe looked back and saw that it was Bai Ming who had run in front of him.

"Brother Bai! You are not kind!" Qianhe didn't care about his subordinates and quickly speeded up to keep pace with Bai Ming.

"Who is your brother?" Bai Ming wanted to kick him, but time was running out and he had no time to argue with Qianhe.

Neither of them let the other go, and they chased each other deep into the woods. The trees here were extremely tall and blocked most of the light, thus reducing their visual range.

Lin Zhuo kept shuttling through the woods again, making a clicking sound.

Bai Ming and Qianhe could only stop bickering and silently reach a cooperation to prevent each other from being attacked by Lin Zhuo back to back.

"Qinghe, come out and let's talk. If you hand over Jiubulian, I can still intercede for you in front of the Lord and save your life." Bai Ming shouted to the surroundings.

At the same time, Bai Ming also didn't understand. With Qinghe's skills, why should he be forced to be under a man?

"Who are you? I don't know you." Lin Zhuo's voice came from all directions.

"..." Bai Ming was annoyed again. He forgot that the other party didn't know his true identity.

"Hey, Bai Ming, do you know this little thief?" Qianhe seemed to have grasped something about Bai Ming: "You'd better take the initiative to confess to the Lord, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind."

"Get lost!" Bai Ming didn't want to argue with Qianhe.

"Bai Ming?" To their surprise, when they heard Qianhe calling Bai Ming's name, Lin Zhuo actually appeared in front of them.

Bai Ming nodded: "I am the Bai Ming you know." He seemed a little ashamed, maybe because his incarnation was so different from himself.

Before Lin Zhuo could say anything, Qianhe, who was standing with Bai Ming, saw Lin Zhuo's pupils suddenly narrowed and his expression was very shocked. He looked at Bai Ming in the mist, and then at Lin Zhuo who was at ease. , and finally couldn't help but slap Bai Ming.

"What are you doing?!" Bai Ming covered her head and looked at Qianhe angrily.

"Are you blind? Don't you fucking know Venerable Hai Qing?!"
