Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 233

Lin Chen heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"Sure enough, as long as this Li brings people here, he will get a reward, but why doesn't he bring all the people here?" Lin Chen pondered.

"Forget it, never mind. Now that I'm a prisoner, I should think of a way to escape!"

While he was thinking, County Magistrate Li had already met with Deacon Wu from the mine.

Deacon Wu took out a bag and handed it to Magistrate Li.

After weighing the bag, Magistrate Li left contentedly without even glancing at the people.

"You guys, follow me." Deacon Wu waved at them.

Lin Chen and his companions hurriedly followed.

One of them was a beat slow and was instantly whipped by a whip.

Except for Lin Chen, everyone else was trembling with fear at this scene, and even quickened their pace.

Deacon Wu took the men to a mine and said, "This is where you will be working from now on. I remind you, don't even think about escaping, or you will know the consequences."

After saying this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck and strode away.

Then, a man walked up to Lin Chen and his companions, threw down a few shovels and left.

"What are you all standing there for? Get to work quickly, do you want to be whipped?" came an angry shout.

Lin Chen and his companions hurried forward, picked up shovels and started digging the mine.

The clanging sounds rang out instantly.

After working hard for an afternoon, as the bell rang, several people put down their shovels and rushed to the rice bucket just to get a bite of food.

Lin Chen stood behind the crowd. If he could get it, he would eat it. If he couldn't get it, it didn't matter. Anyway, with his current cultivation level, he had already practiced fasting for a long time, so it didn't matter if he didn't eat. But for others, not eating and facing such high-intensity labor was absolutely unacceptable.

Several buckets of rice were quickly emptied as a group of people scrambled for them, and Lin Chen didn't even get to eat a single bite in the end.

It’s not that Lin Chen dislikes the food being dirty or unhygienic. Since he doesn’t eat it, he might as well let others eat their fill.

At night at the mine, everyone had to work for two hours before they could rest, so Lin Chen picked up the shovel and started working without saying a word.

Two hours passed and everyone here was exhausted. When they heard the whistle for a break, they lay down on the ground without saying a word and fell into a deep sleep.

The snoring sounded throughout the mine.

After some investigation, Lin Chen confirmed that no one in the entire mine noticed him, and he instantly disappeared in the mine.

Lin Chen would not do such a thing. He came here to experience the life in the mortal world, not to do hard labor for these dignitaries, so Lin Chen left the mine in the simplest and most brutal way.

When Lin Chen appeared again, he had changed his clothes and was standing in an alley in Tiandou City.

"You, you, you...why are you here?"

Lin Chen heard the eunuch-like voice again. Wasn't it the Magistrate Li from the town of Faston?

Although Lin Chen changed his clothes and the dirt on his face was gone, County Magistrate Li had previously taken all the people out of Lin Chen's prison van, so he naturally still remembered Lin Chen's appearance.

"Oh, if you're seen, you'll die."

A streak of sword energy flashed across, and Magistrate Li was killed on the spot.

"You are the first one who dares to make me kneel. Not extracting your soul for sacrifice is already a kindness to you." Lin Chen murmured.

But we can't just let him lie dead on the street. "By the way, isn't that Seventh Prince an evil spirit master? Why not disguise him?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen raised his soul power again, "cleaned" all the flesh and blood of County Magistrate Li, leaving only a dried corpse, and left.

Walking in Tiandou City, Lin Chen curled his lips and said, "Is this the capital of the Tianhun Empire? It's far worse than Shrek City!"

"There have been quite a lot of changes here," Qian Renxue said.

Compared with ten thousand years ago, there are many more buildings in Tiandou City, and the decoration styles of many buildings have also changed greatly. If Qian Renxue walks in the same place without using her spiritual sense, she will not be able to recognize it.

Lin Chen walked into an inn next to him, took out a gold soul coin, and said to the owner, "Boss, give me a superior room."

"Oh, sir, you came at the right time. There is only one top-grade room left in our shop."

As the boss was about to reach out to take the gold soul coin, a discordant voice sounded: "Boss, I want the last top-grade room."

After saying that, he took out two gold soul coins and threw them directly on Lin Chen's desk.

The boss hesitated for a while and was about to reach out his hand when Lin Chen's voice came.

"No. My brother, everything has to be based on first come first served, right?" Lin Chen looked at the rich young man who was dressed luxuriously and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the man said with disdain: "First come, first served? I have never said first come, first served."

"Aren't you being too unreasonable?" Lin Chen remained patient.

"Someone, call me!"

The bodyguards following the rich young man rushed towards Lin Chen.

Ten seconds later, they all fell to the ground, covering their different parts of the body and howling.

"You, you, you...you are a soul master?!" the young man asked in horror.

"If you answer correctly, you'll get a prize!"

"what!"

The story ends with the rich young man covering his red face and running out of the inn with his followers.

Seeing the boss's somewhat disappointed expression, Lin Chen took out two more gold soul coins and said calmly: "Don't feel sorry. I'll give you another gold soul coin as compensation for the loss of your store."

The dissatisfaction in the boss's eyes disappeared instantly, and he quickly picked up the three gold soul coins and said respectfully: "Master Soul Master, please wait a moment, I will prepare a room for you."

Lin Chen ignored him and went back to his original position, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

After a while, the boss handed a key to Lin Chen and said respectfully: "Master Soul Master, this is your room."

Lin Chen took the key and went straight upstairs.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao...

"We in the Haotian Sect do not welcome you, please leave." A voice said to Huo Yuhao.

"I want to see Dong'er." Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

After saying this, he raised his head, his eyes were already filled with purple-gold light, and there seemed to be endless stars twinkling in his eyes.

The powerful mental force quickly spread out from his forehead to the surroundings. He stretched out his right hand, and the crystal clear star aniseed black ice grass quietly emerged. On the crystal clear star aniseed leaves, layers of blue light spread outward.

The extremely cold air suddenly rose, and the azure light seemed to have life. As the light spread, the surrounding clouds and mist quickly dissipated, and the strange feeling brought by the clouds and mist was immediately aroused.
