Chapter 1265: Chapter 359: Reincarnation Identity (Double-Length)
Seeing that Lin Su was sensible, the martial arts expert nodded in satisfaction, continued to shout for others to make way, and carried the cage in a certain direction.
As soon as they left, Lin Su blended into the crowd and quickly arrived at a secluded place to change back into his mask and black robe.
Then, he stepped with a peculiar gait, moving through the crowd like a ghost, quickly chasing after the few men from earlier.
He couldn’t expose his anomaly, couldn’t take risks lightly.
But that magic clown, he must save.
It’s Yingying!
From the first glance they exchanged, Lin Su immediately recognized him.
Although Yingying’s reincarnation race as a magic clown was somewhat peculiar, now was not the time to dwell on that.
Under his eerie steps, the figures of those martial arts experts soon reappeared in his sight.
"Who goes there?" The leading martial arts expert immediately sensed something amiss and shouted, transforming yuan power into a long whip, striking it towards Lin Su.
Lin Su slightly twisted his body, but the Body Refining Realm was no match for the opponent’s strength, merely dodging the vital point, the yuan power whip left a deep blood mark on his shoulder.
He didn’t utter a sound, taking advantage of the moment when the other two martial arts experts were still reacting and hadn’t made a move, swiftly attached a piece of dark resource hidden in his hand to the Crystal Cage.
The next moment, a small shadow appeared within the Crystal Cage.
Yingying, who was already poised to act, instantly blended in and quietly vanished.
The other magic clowns were dumbfounded and attempted to use Shadow Concealment to escape the next second.
But Lin Su couldn’t delay any longer.
He softly apologized and released his hand from the Crystal Cage, then took out a bag from his bosom and scattered supernatural resources into the sky, "Whoever gets it, gets it!"
"Bastard!" Another martial arts expert glared angrily and struck a palm towards Lin Su.
Lin Su failed to dodge, barely avoided the vital point and took the palm head-on, then borrowed the force to quickly merge into the crowd.
The martial arts experts wanted to pursue him, but the supernatural resources scattered by Lin Su attracted a scramble from bystanders, causing chaos on the scene.
Fortunately, only one magic clown was missing, and there were still a few in the cage, and the martial arts experts looked at each other helplessly and finally had to resign themselves to bad luck.
...
"Phooey!"
It wasn’t until he sneaked into a place where no one was present that Lin Su weakly leaned against the corner of a wall, took off his mask, and spat out a mouthful of blood he had been holding back for a long time, and sensed his own state, sighing slightly.
The blood trace on his shoulder was a flesh wound, while the last palm was somewhat serious, breaking a rib, and would require some time to heal.
Yingying swiftly emerged from Lin Su’s shadow at his feet, looking helplessly at the injured Lin Su, his face filled with tension and worry.
"Jie... (╥﹏╥)" (Such a serious injury...)
Lin Su hugged Yingying and squeezed out a smile, "Being able to free you, it’s worth it."
"Luckily, I had prepared some healing drugs just in case, a good thing now." He took out a small bottle of healing powder from his Space Ring, sprinkled half on the wound on his shoulder, and swallowed the other half, his complexion improving a bit, "Thanks for Yan’s jade slip."
Yan Susen gave him a jade slip that recorded many little tricks, meticulous and thoughtful.
This effective healing drug formula came from that jade slip.
Manipulating his muscles, he forcibly twisted the broken rib back into place, making Lin Su grimace for a while, then after recovering, smiled and looked at Yingying nearby, "You see, I’m fine now, just need some time to heal."
"Jie... (╥﹏╥)" (It’s all because of me...)
Yingying, obviously not fooled by Lin Su’s words, still looked guilty.
"Let’s not talk about that." Lin Su patted Yingying’s head, hugging him, "When I’m healed, we’ll go find other companions slowly."
"Your race is a magic clown, quite a surprise to me." Lin Su chuckled, "But it’s also advantageous, your comprehension of purgatory rules is quite advanced, yet the dark rules are not yet comprehended, now is the opportunity."
"Moreover, the evolution direction of a magic clown is readily available." At this point, Lin Su paused, "It’s just a pity that there’s no place similar to the Space Destruction Secret Realm here, replicating Gui’s previous route to turn the magic bag into a Magic Space seems impossible."
Lin Su’s words made Yingying even more dejected.
"Jie... (╥﹏╥)" (I don’t have a magic bag...)
"Ah?" Lin Su blinked, then patted Yingying’s head, "It’s okay, magic clowns naturally don’t have this skill, and I temporarily lost my previous ability, so my storage needs aren’t as high."
Previously, he was eager for a pet beast capable of storing items to complement his ability to traverse between two worlds.
Now without this ability, storage skills have become dispensable.
Upon hearing Lin Su’s reassurance, Yingying felt somewhat better.
"Jie! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)" (Contract!)
He opened his eyes wide, looking at Lin Su expectantly.
Previously he was the last in the team, now he’s the first pet beast to encounter Lin Su, making Yingying very happy.
"The contract will wait a bit." Lin Su shook his head helplessly, "You’re already at elite level, I need to first break through to second level in Beast Taming Space to contract with you."
"I overlooked this point before." He rubbed Yingying’s head, "You and I have both experienced over a decade, even a wild exotic beast can mature in ten years."
"I can feel that you’re also not far from the leader level."
"Jie! (☉Д☉)" (I’m not breaking through!)
Yingying quickly shook his head.
If he breaks through, he’d have to wait until Lin Su reached fourth level to contract with him.
He couldn’t bear to wait.
"One week at most." Lin Su said softly, "One week is enough for recovery, and my Beast Taming Space will nearly break through to second level as well."
Yingying quickly nodded.
"For now, use Shadow Concealment to hide, try not to appear in public during this time." Lin Su seriously spoke, "Although I masked my identity while saving you, I previously blocked them, so they might connect the two incidents."
"If they pursue stubbornly, they might investigate something secretly."
"Jie! (⊙▂⊙)" (Understood!)
Yingying nodded firmly, then quickly hid in Lin Su’s shadow.
Already level III?
And it feels like level IV isn’t far off, either.
Lin Su noticed Yingying’s Shadow Concealment proficiency and felt a bit surprised.
Without Illusion Dream Stone, training the skill to this level in the wild is not easy.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Su quickly bandaged his wounds to conceal any visible marks, then gritted his teeth against the pain, and returned home step by step as if nothing was wrong.
