Ta Tian Qing
Chapter 119 The Arrogant Hu Jingtian (Thanks to 兜兜里有嘿嘿 for the reward!)
Lin Chen was currently organizing his gains from the day.
First, the Holy Crystals.
Good heavens, two hundred and eight!
These things were extremely precious.
Moreover, they could be used to accelerate soul cultivation.
Lin Chen directly used one.
His soul experience increased by fifty thousand!
Too useful.
But unfortunately, using more would halve the effect.
However, Lin Chen now had a lot of Holy Crystals.
Wasting them didn't matter.
He used three, plus a dazzling Soul Crystal.
His soul experience increased by a total of one hundred thousand.
"You're being too wasteful,"
Moir, somehow, had squeezed over.
Their camp was separate from Lin Chen and his companions.
They were originally guarding their own camp entrances, but Moir didn't know why, she just wanted to go over and talk to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at her and smiled, "I think only the weak worry about waste. I'm different. If you have resources, use them. Strengthening yourself is the key."
"That's true, you're maintaining the top spot on the Gold Ranking, and you get a reward of ten Holy Crystals every day… But, if you save a Holy Crystal, you can exchange it for a lot of cultivation resources." Moir still felt that Lin Chen's behavior was wasteful.
So Lin Chen began to reason with her, "Have you ever been chased?"
"This… no."
Moir shook her head.
"Then, are you and your race threatened by all races, even with the danger of becoming raw materials for soul essence at any time?" Lin Chen asked again.
Naturally, Moir still shook her head.
On Blue Star, the Elf race was one of the top five strongest countries.
If the temples weren't counted, they'd be in the top three.
Now, they were only a little weaker than the Xianling race and the human race.
Therefore, there was no danger like the ones Lin Chen described.
"But we Blue Star people are in that kind of danger!"
Lin Chen sighed, "Among the Blue Star people, the strongest is me. This isn't me being narcissistic."
"Mm!"
This time, Moir nodded heavily.
"So, if I have resources now, do you think I should save them to exchange, or use them myself?"
Lin Chen smiled wryly, "If, just in case, I get killed, wouldn't these cultivation resources be cheaper for others?"
Moir fell silent.
The topic was a bit heavy.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said to Lin Chen, "Actually, I also sympathize with the fate of the Blue Star people, but there's nothing I can do… survival of the fittest. Many things have already been stipulated by the gods."
"Heh, gods…"
Lin Chen was noncommittal, feeling a little depressed.
Think about it, how prosperous was Blue Star in the past?
Although, the Blue Star people weren't monolithic, at least they were very comfortable in their own homes.
But what about now?
Nearly ten billion lives, all harvested.
"I just want to say, to hell with the gods!"
Lin Chen complained.
At that moment, Moir seemed to feel a different Lin Chen…
Actually, from the first time she met Lin Chen, Moir had been a little unable to figure him out.
Lin Chen had too many personalities.
Sometimes, he was very calm.
Very wise.
Serious.
But sometimes, he was extremely wicked.
The kind who could lie without batting an eye.
And a big swindler.
Old Six! (cunning person)
But Moir seemed to feel, for the first time, that kind of loneliness and bitterness from Lin Chen.
"So you've been carrying so much."
Moir sighed.
"Heh, do you have any wine?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, I'll get it."
Moir got up.
Probably left it at the camp over there.
At this time, Lin Chen took a deep breath… Moir was a little strange!
How did it feel like she was planning to chat all night?
Lin Chen had no choice but to release Yang Yourong.
Yang Yourong in her red robe, looked a bit more solid than before.
"Go, wherever the Gold Tablet appears… no, you can devour all the undead in the entire ruins, but be careful not to be discovered by those strong people." Lin Chen said.
Yang Yourong smiled.
The next moment, she floated away directly.
This was a real ghost!
After Yang Yourong left for a while, Moir came over with a pot of wine.
"Elf honey fruit paste, this wine is very sweet when you drink it, but the kick is strong later, I estimate this pot should be enough."
Moir smiled at Lin Chen and said, "Actually, our Elf race has a lot of delicacies, not just honey fruit paste, but also special cheese, Golden Glitter Fruit, and many other delicacies. I think you should try them all."
As soon as Lin Chen heard this, he stared straight at her and asked, "Is the Princess inviting me to visit the Elf race?"
"I'm just afraid you won't dare to go." Moir's face flushed slightly.
"Haha, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."
Lin Chen suddenly remembered Xue Mo and the others.
Ice Snow City and the Ice Kingdom should still have a score to settle!
Therefore, Lin Chen's face turned slightly cold.
Noticing the change in his expression, Moir said in a deep voice, "Are you thinking about Ice Snow City?"
"Mm." Lin Chen nodded.
He wasn't afraid of Moir now.
So, there were some things that he had to make clear.
Moir said, "Actually, you also know that there are many races in our Elf race… Remember Erxius? Oh, you might not have seen it at the time, but he wanted to kill Ice Snow City from the beginning. Erxius is from the Sea Elf race, and his father is still the leader of a small tribe. Now, Erxius' father has also entered the Ice Kingdom's parliament, and their family has a lot of influence in the Ice Kingdom."
"Are you saying that the people who harmed the Ice Kingdom were them?"
Lin Chen felt that Moir seemed to be revealing some information to him.
"Coincidentally, Ice Snow City is on Erxius' family's territory."
Moir looked at Lin Chen and asked, "If it were you, could you tolerate the existence of a foreign race in your territory? Moreover, there are quite a few of them, as many as hundreds of thousands."
"Then what is the Ice Kingdom's attitude towards Erxius' family?" Lin Chen asked.
Moir immediately said, "I can only guarantee that my mother, the Elf Queen, will never have pity on them!"
Lin Chen nodded.
He understood what Moir meant.
"When I have time, I'll go to the Ice Kingdom."
Lin Chen felt that Moir seemed to have the motive of using Lin Chen's hand to eliminate dissidents in the country.
However, Lin Chen didn't expose it.
As for going to the Ice Kingdom…
Lin Chen wasn't stupid.
He would definitely wait until he had enough strength before going!
The former Lin Chen might not have been so enthusiastic about helping the Blue Star people take revenge, but now that Lin Chen had come to the Imperial Battlefield, he had seen Long Yandao, and he had also seen the noble families of the Imperial City.
Also, Lin Chen had seen various races…
Even the Bouncing Mountain Rabbit family of four!
The more he saw, the more Lin Chen felt that having a race of his own was necessary in this world.
Like the Holy Maiden of Light race.
Except for the gods, they feared no one.
Why?
Because their race was strong.
They and the residents of Tianyue City were both outsiders to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
They were all alien races.
But…
Tianyue City had been attacked several times.
The territory of the Holy Maiden of Light race had never been attacked once.
In this world, the strong prey on the weak.
Strength was the basis of everything.
In addition, strength was the basis for the survival of a race.
Since that's the case, then Lin Chen had to do something!
He was a Blue Star person.
The mark was on his body, and it would be forever.
It was impossible to join another race.
Even if Lin Chen joined, he would definitely not gain the trust of other races.
What's more, as the old saying goes, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
Among the Blue Star people, Lin Chen was the absolute boss!
Then why would he give up being the boss and become a servant to others?
That wasn't Lin Chen's style!
So, how to establish a sense of identity among the Blue Star people?
And how to make other races dare not underestimate the Blue Star people again?
The answer was…
Strength!
In addition, revenge must be taken!
Only in this way would others recognize you and fear you!
"You two are actually drinking… Hehe, I'll take over the shift." When Pang Jia saw that Lin Chen was on guard duty, he was actually chatting with Moir while drinking a little wine. He couldn't help but joke, "What, is our human race going to have a Frost Kingdom Elf consort?"
"I'm going back."
Moir got up directly.
That's because… her face was flushed, and she was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.
"I'm going to sleep."
Lin Chen also got up and returned to the camp.
"Haha… Huh?"
Just about to burst into laughter, Pang Jia's face suddenly changed. He rubbed his eyes, and then muttered to himself, "Did I see wrong? It seems like just now, a shadow floated past…"
In the camp, Lin Chen lay down.
Yang Yourong came back.
The fat man Heerder on the side was still snoring constantly.
Yang Yourong playfully lay down next to Lin Chen, even prostrating in Lin Chen's arms.
She was a ghost.
Still a ghost emperor!
But Lin Chen wasn't afraid at all…
Because he was her master!
"Is there any way to make him stop snoring?" Lin Chen asked.
Hearing this, Yang Yourong raised her head, and then with a wave of her red sleeve…
Heerder immediately turned over in his sleep, and the snoring disappeared.
But his body was making a strange bending and straightening motion…
Lin Chen was speechless.
This was okay too?
Yang Yourong tilted her head and smiled, as if saying: We can too.
"Hehe, don't even think about it, go back to my belt."
Lin Chen directly let her into his waistband.
Then, he slept until dawn.
As soon as he got up, he heard Pang Jia's voice: "Woke up? Hehe, the second Gold Tablet has come out, and only you can still sleep!"
"So fast?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen was instantly wide awake.
He left the camp.
Looking up, he could see golden light shooting straight into the sky in the southwest.
"Go!" Lin Chen immediately called out to everyone.
Moir also came over with two female elves. When she saw Lin Chen and his companions, her face flushed, and she said, "The Gold Tablet hasn't been solved yet, has it?"
"How could it be so easy?"
Lin Chen smiled.
Currently, only he had solved the Gold Tablet in ten minutes by solving the puzzle.
But on closer thought, Lin Chen's method of solving the Gold Tablet may not actually have much to do with Lin Chen himself.
It should be because Lin Chen obtained the legacy of the Primordial Sword Spirit.
According to some fragmented plot points, the information that Lin Chen could sort out was that the Primordial Sword Spirit and the Primordial Saber Saint both belonged to beings that were naturally spiritualized, but later, for some unknown reason, the Saber Saint became demonized.
So, the Sword Spirit also became demonized along with him.
Even becoming demonized with someone else, Lin Chen could only say that the relationship between the Sword Spirit and the Saber Saint, this pair of beings that were naturally spiritualized, was definitely not simple… How close of a friend would they have to be!
So in the first Gold Tablet, although it was just a wisp of the Saber Saint's residual soul, and it seemed to be a residual soul after being demonized, he still tried his best to help Lin Chen after seeing Lin Chen, even at the cost of his residual soul disappearing.
This was Lin Chen's guess.
But Lin Chen estimated that it was about right.
Soon, Lin Chen and his party arrived at the periphery of the second Gold Tablet.
This time, Lin Chen wasn't so careful, and he didn't even let the Flying Rat scout the way.
He directly swaggered in with his people.
As a result, they really ran into acquaintances.
It was Fairy Wei, and four other Xianling race.
Jing Chen was nowhere to be seen.
But opposite the five Xianling, stood Hu Jingtian, Yingtou Bai, Narsi, and Sassman.
A total of four people.
All in the top ten of the Gold Ranking.
It seemed that they saw that the Xianling race was strong, and Lin Chen's side had also risen up, so they were forced to team up.
It's just, could a team formed with mutual suspicion really work?
"Oh, what a coincidence!"
Lin Chen greeted with a smile. He went straight to Fairy Wei's side, and then looked at Hu Jingtian and the others and asked, "Are you guys planning to make a move?"
"Lin Chen, do you want to interfere?" Hu Jingtian asked.
It ran fast yesterday.
Worthy of being winged.
Niu Dali, that silly guy, blocked a lot of damage for them.
Otherwise, how could Hu Jingtian be so lively today?
"Don't think that just because you're number one on the Gold Ranking, you can do whatever you want."
Hu Jingtian was really tougher today, as if he had something to rely on. He said coldly to Lin Chen, "Your human race has already taken a Gold Tablet, so… you'd better take your people and step aside!"
"Oh."
Lin Chen smiled, "Brother Hu killed a leopard last night, and even ate its gall? Why do I feel like not only has your courage grown, but your words have a gunpowder smell!"
"Hehe, is that so?"
Hu Jingtian let out a long roar.
As a result, many strong people of various races appeared outside the Stone Tablet Forest.
"Lin Chen, today we just want to tell you human race and Xianling race that the ruins aren't something that you can despise everything just because you're strong, because when we unite, don't even think about oppressing us again!"
Hu Jingtian seemed very proud.
There was a sense of accomplishment in leading the weak to resist the strong.
He was even high on himself.
Even his words were set after set!
If you didn't know better, you would think he was a leader of an uprising!
"You really united a lot of people." Lin Chen sneered.
Then, Fairy Wei said in a low voice, "Lin Chen, how about we unite too? Now that Jing Chen doesn't know where he's gone, and the obstacle to our alliance is no longer there, I can promise you that after we go out, I'll seriously suggest to the commander to form an alliance with your human race… The alliance will be effective until the third level battlefield, how about it?"
Lin Chen was a little tempted when he heard this.
After all, Hu Jingtian and the others were also starting to stir up trouble now.
Although, the union of these races was mixed.
In Lin Chen's opinion, their strength was just so-so, but Lin Chen really couldn't handle it alone.
However, Fairy Wei proposed to continue the alliance after leaving the ruins…
Was this girl simple or stupid?
She still believed the lies Lin Chen had been telling her!
"Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding…"
Lin Chen immediately changed his tune to Hu Jingtian, "Brother Hu, actually I'm just passing by, these Xianling have nothing to do with us… Hehe, do as you please, do as you please!"
Lin Chen slipped away directly.
What a joke!
After leaving the ruins, you Ji Wei really go and form an alliance, right?
Then what about Lin Chen?
He couldn't replace Dragon Spirit Country and really decide these things.
For Lin Chen's sudden change of face, Fairy Wei really didn't understand…
"Lin Chen, you! What do you mean!"
Fairy Wei stomped her feet in anger.
But, why did it seem a bit like coquetry?
This is the fourth update today, more than 16,000 words.
Thanks to the boss in the pocket with hehe for another wave of rewards!
Boss, you don't speak, what do you mean?
Alas!
Already a master.
I… I'll be conscious!
Fifth update, around 11 o'clock!
