"Long Zilu?"

Lin Sheng chewed on the name. Although he didn't know what the Dragon Demon Army was, his position as the commander-in-chief of Fucheng already showed his status. He was definitely a high-ranking and powerful figure in Linjiang Fucheng.

"This Long Zilu is a real Divine Form realm warrior, and a Imperial Court orthodox Dragon Demon Army commander. He wears Dragon Demon bloodline. He is one of the top masters in the entire Linjiang Prefecture."

"With such a master stationed personally, and with Blood Demon Array, it's normal to be able to fight back Phantom Demon Beast. It's just a pity that a lot of people will be killed and injured this time."

When he said this, Yellow Dog's tone sounded a bit sad.

"What are you referring to?" Hearing something wrong in Yellow Dog's mouth, Lin Sheng asked at the right time.

Since Phantom Demon Beast has been sealed, how could there be so many casualties?

"Hmph, do you think Blood Demon Great Array just put a few formation flags there and that's it?"

Yellow Dog snorted, took another deep puff of the pipe and pot, and exhaled thick smoke before continuing.

"Then Blood Demon Great Array is evil and ruthless. It is dominated by eighteen Blood Demon Tooths, and this Blood Demon Tooth has a big background."

"It was made from an extremely terrifying Great Demon sharp tooth from thousands of years ago. It was processed by First Ancestor of Northern Yan hundreds of years ago and cost countless precious materials to make it into the formation flag. It has great power."

When saying this, Yellow Dog was obviously a little emotional.

"Speaking of which, First Ancestor of Northern Yan is indeed a person. Northern Yan has three realms and one fifteen houses. Each house has a tyrannical background similar to Blood Demon Tooth, and half of these backgrounds basically come from this First Ancestor of Northern Yan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress everything, and the suppressed sect family would not be able to hold its head up."

Lin Sheng was also shocked when he heard this.

Although he has not seen the so-called Blood Demon Tooth with his own eyes, it is not difficult to imagine the power of Blood Demon Tooth who can suppress such a tyrannical Demon Beast as Phantom Demon Beast.

There are at least fifteen sets of such powerful treasures, not counting the three avenues up there and Imperial Court's national power. The national power of Great Yan is indeed very powerful.

Seemingly realizing that he had said too much, Yellow Dog did not continue talking on this topic, but moved to Blood Demon Great Array.

"Okay, it's a bit far. Let's not talk about the background of other houses. Let's talk about Blood Demon Great Array of Linjiang Prefecture. Although these 18 Blood Demon Tooth are extremely powerful, they also consume a lot of money if they want to exert their power."

"Although the threat of Phantom Demon Beast has been suppressed this time, in addition to Yangping Town being razed to the ground, two towns close to Yangping Town with tens of thousands of people have basically followed in Yangping Town's footsteps."

"In addition to these, there are basically no small or large forces such as Chen Family and Town Mountain Tower in Lin'an County City."

When Yellow Dog said this, he obviously paused for a moment and glanced at Lin Sheng.

"Now do you know what I mean by huge consumption?"

Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and finally uttered two words.

"Human life."

Hearing this, Yellow Dog had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"That's right, it's not too stupid. It's human life. Except for Yangping Town, the rest of the losses are basically the loss of activating Blood Demon Great Array."

"Judging from this loss, it is estimated that the number of Blood Demon Tooth mobilized by Long Zilu this time should not exceed 10, otherwise it would be more than just this loss."

"Since Linjiang Prefecture has already noticed that something is wrong, why not send more experts over, so that Phantom Demon Beast may not be able to be solved even if Blood Demon Tooth is not used."

Lin Sheng asked with some confusion.

After all, from what Yellow Dog said, Linjiang Prefecture had trouble with Demon Revealing Mirror, who had discovered in advance that something was wrong here, why not send more experts over.

Hearing this, Yellow Dog immediately sneered and said with some disdain.

"In the eyes of the big shots in Prefecture City, a small and remote place like Lin'an County means nothing. Even if all the people in Lin'an County die, it won't be a big deal to Prefecture City."

"Do you think the main purpose of sending people here is for Lin'an County? No, the main reason is that they are worried that Phantom Demon Beast's continued growth will threaten Prefecture City."

"Otherwise, Long Zilu's strength is enough to hold back the injured Phantom Demon Beast. When his subordinate Dragon Demon Army arrives, even without using Blood Demon Great Array, it will be enough to force this Phantom Demon Beast back to the depths of Yangping Mountain. It will just take more time."

When he said this, Yellow Dog curled his lips and blew out another puff of smoke.

"There's nothing better than using Blood Demon Great Array directly."

After coming out of the Tongming Academy, Lin Sheng felt mixed emotions.

He didn't expect that this world was more cruel than he imagined. Not only were there all kinds of powerful Strange Beasts, but there were also overbearing and strict upper-level authorities.

Judging from the understatement with which Yellow Dog told this matter, it is obvious that this kind of thing is nothing new to him.

"Just using the semi-finished Blood Demon Great Array cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, not counting the masters of the aristocratic martial arts schools in the county."

Exhaling softly, he once again realized that the dangers during this period came not only from ferocious beasts, but perhaps more from people.

But if you think about it carefully, it is right. After all, this is not the previous life, but a completely different world of practice.

A powerful warrior can decide the life and death of a life or even a city with just one word.

"In a world like this, strength is everything."

He didn't stop and left with Da Huang.

Not long after, they arrived at a small courtyard with a closed door on the west side of the city.

This is the hiding place of Lin Hong and others. As for how he learned about it, it naturally came from Yellow Dog.

Arriving at the door, he knocked gently on the courtyard door.

As the knock on the door rang, vigilant questions soon came from the yard.

"Who?"

"It's me, Xiao Shi." Lin Sheng spoke softly.

"It's Lin Tou!!"

The vigilant voice in the yard immediately brought a sense of surprise, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, the door of the yard soon opened to reveal Xiao Shi's face full of joy.

"Lin Tou You are back, are you okay? We are all worried about you..."

Xiao Shi's voice soon alerted other people in the yard. Old Zhou Xie Guilan and Lin Hong all came out of the room and surrounded Lin Sheng.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."

Xie Guilan kept repeating in his mouth, and trotted forward to touch Lin Sheng's arms and legs, and the tense brows on his face finally relaxed.

Lin Sheng nodded with a smile and helped Lin Hong back to the room. He did not talk about the thrills he had experienced in the past two days, but just briefly mentioned them.

After settling down the two elders, Lin Sheng walked out of the room, while Xiao Shi and Old Zhou had been waiting in the yard. When they saw Lin Sheng coming out, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Lin Tou."

"Well, it's been hard on you these past two days."

Lin Sheng patted their shoulders.

He noticed that the two men still had some bruises and abrasions on their bodies, and their breath was sluggish. It was obvious that their injuries had not healed.

The two of them had been injured during the transport team mission before, and later they were injured by Meng Yu on the way to Tongzhi County City. Although their lives were not in danger, it was not a pleasant experience.

The two of them have been very busy these past two days, not only renting the yard but also taking good care of Lin Hong, which can be considered hard work.

"Lin Tou, what are you talking about? This is what we should do. If it weren't for you, we don't know what our current situation would be like!"

Old Zhou waved his hands repeatedly and took out a few treasure notes from his arms as he spoke.

"Lin Tou This is the remaining money for you to look at next."

"No, just take it first. There is something else you need to do later."

Lin Sheng glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

"You go buy some medicine for your injuries first, heal your injuries first, and buy some herbs to send to me. You can stay in this Tongzhi County city for the time being."

"Yes, Lin Tou."

Old Zhou simply responded and left in a hurry with Xiao Shi.

Watching the two people go away, Lin Sheng did not stay, returned to the room that several people had left for him in advance, and began to concentrate on recovery.

Although his current condition is much better than before, he has not recovered yet. He should recover from his injuries as soon as possible before talking about anything else.

Time flies by like a flash, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the room, heat was rising, and Lin Sheng was sitting cross-legged in a wooden barrel with a diameter as long as a person.

As time passed, the liquid in the barrel began to become thinner.

After a stick of incense, the sound of crisp bones continued to come from his body, and he soon returned to calm.

This was when he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled softly.

"In three days, all injuries finally recovered."

At this time, he was in the state of entering the body Silver-patterned Black Crocodile. With the blessing of high physical fitness, he also cooperated with the healing Medicinal Bath and Spirit Beast dried meat.

This allowed him to completely recover from his injuries in a short period of time.

In the battle with Black Blind Man, although he had the last laugh, it could only be regarded as a tragic victory. Without Constitution Boost, who had Silver-patterned Black Crocodile's four points, he would never have been able to survive even with Spirit Beast's flesh.

This was the most difficult battle he had encountered since his training, and when he thought about it now, he secretly thought he was lucky.

I have to admit that the strength shown by Black Blind Man is quite strong. If he hadn't injected poison into the opponent's body from the wound on his shoulder during the fight, and the subsequent explosion caused him to make mistakes, then he might not have been able to defeat the opponent so quickly.

If the time is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the violent Earth Power in his body will burst his body before the other party can take action.

"I was able to have the last laugh in this battle. It was not without luck. Luck will not always favor me. If I encounter this situation again next time, I may not be the one who survives."

Lin Sheng said to himself.

"Sure enough Martial Way along the way, the more advanced the practice, the gap in each major realm will become wider and wider."

You must know that the gap between Body Tempering and Muscle Forging realm is far less disparate than the gap between forging ribs and Blood Circulation.

"However, the strength shown by Black Blind Man should not be as simple as early stage of Blood Circulation. It should not be too weak among Blood Circulation realm."

Although he has no experience fighting other Blood Circulation Practitioner except for this battle with Black Blind Man, he does ask Wang Sanyang questions about Blood Circulation on a daily basis.

He also had a vague understanding of the combat power of the running warrior. The combat power shown by Black Blind Man was obviously stronger than the early stage of Blood Circulation warrior he mapped in his mind.

"With my current strength, I should be able to fight against the ordinary Blood Circulation Practitioner."

Lin Sheng was thinking and comparing the gap between himself and Blood Circulation Practitioner.

"If my shortcoming is also obvious, it is that the limit is too great. I can only last for a short time when I explode with all my strength. If I don't kill it within the time, then I can only let others slaughter me."

The more he thought about this in his mind, the more he felt that he had won the battle with Black Blind Man by luck. If Black Blind Man did not choose to confront him head-on after he exploded with all his strength, but turned around and ran away, then there is absolutely no way I can do anything about it.

You can only watch the other party leave, wait until you are exhausted, and then turn back to harvest.

He lay on his back and leaned his neck on the edge of the barrel to figure out his shortcomings.

"After I exploded with all my strength, my strength was no less than that of a faint-blooded warrior, and even exceeded that of an ordinary running warrior. However, my speed was incomparable. I could only rely on my strength to sprint in an instant."

"So if we encounter Blood Circulation Practitioner again in the future and have to take action, we must strike first and kill him directly without giving the opponent a chance to react. This is the best policy."

"In addition, the superposition of Ape Demon Transformation and the earth Affinity Talent can indeed unleash a powerful combat power that far exceeds one's normal level. The disadvantage is that the load on one's own body is too great. Even with four points of Constitution Boost, it cannot last long."

"But this is easy to solve. As my cultivation level breaks through, my body will become stronger, and the time I can persist will definitely be longer. In addition, I can also wait until the second mark is activated, and choose to enter the body with a strong physique. No, it is best to enter the body with Strange Beast, who is good at physical fitness and agility. This can make up for the shortcomings after the explosion to the maximum extent."

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng has a clear plan for his future direction.

The second mark is not far away from being fully activated. During the period of Tongzhi, activate the second mark as soon as possible.

At the same time, we are looking for Strange Beast, who is good at physical fitness and agility, as the first choice for the second mark.

The other is to practice Ape Fetus Technique and break through to late Muscle Forging as soon as possible.

In the end, Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm could not be left behind. He was very satisfied with the power of this poison technique. When fighting against others, it could often determine the outcome of the battle.

After making a final decision in my mind, I sat cross-legged again, closed my eyes, and started practicing Ape Fetus Technique.

Two hours later.

"This yard is nice. You will bring my father and mother over soon, and we will live here for a while."

In a house that covers an area that is obviously much larger than the previous yard, Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Old Zhou's work efficiency.

Although the previous courtyard could accommodate a few of them, Lin Sheng always felt that it was a little smaller and inconvenient to move around, and there were also fewer rooms. He needed separate Medicinal Bath rooms and Cultivation Chamber.

Now that he has money in his hands, there is no need to save in this regard. As long as his strength improves, making money will not be difficult.
