Chapter 208 Safe House and Ranking! Lin Mo's Clearance Method! (Subscribe)
The ordinary residents in the city all looked over here with a hint of nervousness and panic in their expressions.

After seeing what happened, some women hurriedly ran out of the house and took their children back home, while looking at Lin Mo and others with vigilance.

"Eh? Not even a word of thanks?"

Long A spread his hands and looked at the women speechlessly. Some of them even rolled their eyes at him.

Lin Mo didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he silently glanced at the good and evil value that had just been added on the panel without saying much.

"Go on, we still have to find a place to stay, don't waste time."

He urged.

Long Ah didn't really care about it, but when he practiced the Pure Yang Heart Method, he always felt inexplicably irritated.

This mental method is very strange. The deeper you practice it, the more irritable you become.

He is more emotional now than when he first started, but fortunately he has learned how to control himself in the past few months.

If you really can't hold it back, then you can have a vigorous fight with the sword monsters to "vent your anger".

Of course, it becomes a habit over time.

That is when you use your mind to practice, you will want to fight.

"Good Le!"

Long Ah, whose microcosm was ignited, walked ahead excitedly.

It’s no wonder that there are quite a few ghosts hidden in the city.

They had only walked a few steps into the city when they saw two children playing in front of a half-person-high water tank in the alley.

Unlike before, several people subconsciously paid attention to the child's behavior.

As expected, they realized something was wrong without Yu Linglong even saying anything.

The little girl with ponytail behind him was leading the little boy in front into the water tank.

"It's a ghost."

Yu Linglong said so.

She didn't even need to explain it specifically, everyone could tell the difference.

"call out!"

Chu Wange's flying sword had already been used and easily pierced into the little girl's back.

"puff!"

The girl turned into black mist and dissipated.

The little boy who was pushed by her was also picked up by the collar by Long A and dropped into the air.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

The little boy screamed, and the next second he opened his big scarlet mouth, revealing rows of tiny and sharp teeth, and started to bite towards Long A's neck.

"Click, click, click!"

The sharp teeth kept rubbing against Long'a's extremely tough neck, and soon a piece of dead skin was rubbed off.

"Fuck, this is also true?"

The bitten Long A showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he was not panicked at all.

If it was Lin Mo or Yu Linglong who was bitten, they would have to quickly get rid of this little devil with sharp teeth.

However, the one who was bitten happened to be him, a strong and healthy physical cultivator. This little ghost was at most a Qi cultivator. Even if he let it bite for two quarters of an hour, it might not be able to break his defense.

He stretched out his hands, grabbed one of the kid's hands and one of his feet, and then tore them apart with great force.

"Ugh!!!"

Just as I started to exert force, the kid's mouth opened and he let out a scream.

However, Long A, who was in a state of excitement, didn't care about the funeral experience at all and tore it into two halves in a very violent and bloody way.

After a while, the little ghost was scared to death.

[Ding! Yu Linglong team's good and evil value +2]

A system prompt came.

At this moment, their team's score also rose to 12 points.

As for the rankings...

If you are outside the top 50,000, it’s better not to look at it.

If we only look at the number of foundation-building cultivators in Qinzhou, it may not be a big deal.

But in the entire Jiuzhou, there should be at least 80,000 foundation-building cultivators, if not 100,000.

Putting aside some people who are in the early stages of building the foundation and those who come in just for show, the number of competitors in the same period is at least over 50,000.

It is definitely not an easy task to stand out among the fifty thousand foundation-building cultivators and enter the final battle.

Fortunately, it has just begun and it is still early.

Keep going!

With a humanoid ghost-detecting machine in the team, things become much simpler.

"The one who's pushing people down the well is a ghost! Oh, and the one being pushed is also a ghost!"

"And that beggar is not a ghost, but he is haunted by evil spirits. Don't throw money, otherwise you will be haunted by evil spirits."

"Those women washing clothes on the shore...kill them all."

"That scholar in white...don't worry, he's not a ghost. The puppy he just picked up from the haystack is a ghost."

"And there's more..."

"..."

As Yu Linglong reported from a perspective as if she had opened her clairvoyance, the remaining three people took turns to quickly clear out the ghosts they encountered along the way.

The cultivation of the ghosts in these cities is relatively shallow. At most, they are at the Qi training level, and have not even reached the foundation building level.

Even if they resist, they will not pose any threat to them.

Moreover, most of the ghosts had no time to resist. They were either pierced through the heart by flying swords, or cruelly crushed by Long A, or directly burned to ashes by Lin Mo Lingframe's Dao Fire.

In short, Yu Linglong's team's score is rising rapidly.

The efficiency is faster than most teams on the list.

In less than half an hour, they had made it into the top ten thousand, and their ranking rose as fast as thunder.

Until Lin Mo called a halt urgently, Yu Linglong's team was temporarily ranked over 2000th.

Don't underestimate this ranking; according to the stepped distribution of the foundation-building cultivators' cultivation levels, their points have already placed them in the team in the late foundation-building stage.

Moreover, this is far from their ceiling.

"Well, it's getting late, we should find a place to stay."

Lin Mo glanced at the increasingly gloomy sky and said so.

In fact, they had already quickly explored the ancient city during their exploration.

It was not necessary to explore every nook and cranny, but the general streets and buildings were scanned.

Now, they also have a rough understanding of the internal map of this Wedding City.

"Let me tell you first, the safe house should be in the Xilai Inn in the east of the city."

Yu Linglong expressed her own judgment.

"Is there any basis for this?"

Long A asked, rubbing his chin.

"No, it's just intuition." Yu Linglong said simply.

Long A: “…”

So casual?

What if your intuition is wrong?
Although the ghosts encountered are of average strength, finding a safe house is the rule of the copy after all. If there is any accident, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be wasted?

He was about to speak when he heard Yu Linglong say, "As for whether it will work, isn't there a charlatan in our team?"

Long A's eyes lit up. Yes, I almost forgot about Brother Lin.

He looked at Lin Mo, who had actually already sacrificed his natal tortoise shell while they were talking.

You are the charlatan, your whole family are gods!
Lin Mo glared at Yu Linglong who was hiding beside him with displeasure, but still started to tell fortunes, bah, divination.

"Ding-Dang!" The copper coin fell to the ground, with the sunny side up.

"It should be the Xilai Inn."

Lin Mo said so.

After hearing this, Yu Linglong and Long A immediately confirmed that Xilai Inn was a safe house.

The reason is simple, they all confirm that Lin Mo is a charlatan.

There has never been a mistake in his divination.

A few minutes later, they successfully found the Xilai Inn.

This inn, like other inns and taverns in the ancient city, is sparsely populated and has almost no guests.

The boss behind the counter didn't show any enthusiasm even though he saw them come in.

The waiter in the hall was lying on the dining table with a lack of interest. When he saw them come in, he just raised his eyes to glance around, then lay down on the table again and continued to take a nap.

"Not a ghost."

Yu Linglong confirmed the identity of the shop here.

Lin Mo and his companions then walked in with confidence. As soon as they entered, they heard the boss say weakly:
"Stay in a hotel or have a meal?"

"Of course we should stay in a hotel this late!"

Long Ah's tone was as irritable as ever: "Do you have any spare rooms here?"

The boss twitched his lips and sneered:

"There are plenty of rooms. You can take as many as you want. If you dare, you can even book it for the whole year."

Long A frowned slightly, not expecting the boss to be so harsh.

"One room, one hundred bucks, and a superior room is one hundred bucks more."

The boss ignored everyone's expressions and said:
"Let's make it clear first. We'll settle the bill once a day. No credit."

What a arrogant boss! Long A rubbed his fists and was about to teach the other party a profound lesson, but Lin Mo grabbed his hand.

Lin Mo walked up and said, "Boss, how many rooms are there on the second floor? We've booked them all."

When the boss heard this, he looked a little surprised and said, "The room at the end of the corridor cannot be rented out, but the other rooms can."

"Then we don't need a second floor, we need a third floor."

Lin Mo immediately changed his words.

The boss glanced at him and said, "It's up to you. The same goes for the third floor. The one at the end of the corridor is not for rent."

"Okay, let's go to the second floor." Lin Mo didn't hesitate and asked, "How much is it in total?"

"Nineteen rooms in total, five of which are superior rooms, costing a total of twenty-four taels of silver."

"Snapped!"

Lin Mo took out the corresponding currency from the storage ring and slapped it on the table.

He didn't pay a penny less.

On the contrary, he paid two more hundred dollars.

The boss looked a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He just quietly collected all the copper coins and threw a bunch of keys on the table:

"Go up by yourself. Apart from that room, you can stay in any other room you want. But remember! Close the doors and windows before dark, and don't come out no matter what you hear."

Lin Mo wanted to say a few more words, but the boss had already sat back, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.

Helplessly, they had to go up to the second floor, randomly picked a slightly larger room, and walked in.

The cladding is naturally rich and capricious, but it is to eliminate some unnecessary troubles.

These copper coins are dropped by ghosts. There are plenty of them anyway, so you don’t have to worry about having no money to spend.

As soon as he entered the room, Chu Wange, who was very carefree, had already sat on the soft big bed.

Lin Mo and Long A sat around the tea table in the room.

I am destined not to be able to sleep tonight.

"Meeting!"

Lin Mo said: "Tell me what you think."

Chu Wange was the first to speak: "Pay attention tomorrow. It's a bit slow today."

Long A's idea was more brutal and direct:
"I also think it's a bit slow. If I can't do it, I'll just push forward and it'll be done!"

Yu Linglong sneered: "It's not that simple. If I'm wrong, if we dare to kill indiscriminately, our good and evil values ​​will be deducted!"

"Is there such a saying?" Long A asked doubtfully.

Yu Linglong snorted, as if she didn't want to explain too much, and reached out and tugged at the corner of Lin Mo's clothes.

You brought two idiots with you, explain yourself.

Lin Mo sighed and said, "Don't you realize that the good and evil value added on the panel each time is not entirely based on the number of kills?"

Long A asked in confusion: "Is that so? I really didn't notice this!"

In fact, Long A is not stupid. It's just that he practices Chun Yang Mentality all day long, so he tends to be impatient and can't easily notice these details.

Lin Mo patiently explained: "Just look at the prompts on the panel. The kid in the flowered cotton jacket who was killed initially got eight points, but the two officers only got two points. This is very telling."

Long A touched his chin and recalled the scenes of killing just now in his mind.

Just as Lin Mo said, the good and evil points gained from killing ghosts seemed to have nothing to do with the number or cultivation level...

"It's the number of people saved!"

Lin Mo didn't wait for him to think for too long and gave the answer directly.

Hearing this, Long Ah suddenly realized.

The little ghost in the flowery cotton-padded jacket who was killed first happened to be accompanied by eight playful children.

In other words, as long as they don't interfere with the little ghost, it will kill the children one by one.

"So that's how it is. And the 'dead dog' that the scholar was leading also added five or six points. If we take it back, won't the whole family be gone?"

"That's about what I mean." Lin Mo nodded.
"The so-called good and evil value should be the score we accumulate for good deeds. Killing ghosts or saving people should add points, but vice versa..."

"You will lose points!"

Long Ah answered quickly, then patted his chest:
"Luckily I held back just now. I almost wanted to pick up the boss and beat him up. And that scholar just now, I was obviously saving him, but he also scolded me. I almost beat him to death too."

Yu Linglong laughed and said, "If you kill them all, we won't even be ranked in the top 10,000."

Long Ah scratched his head awkwardly, but heard Lin Mo come up with a shocking conclusion:
"That's not necessarily the case."

Yu Linglong frowned, and then she heard Lin Mo's calm but chilling voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, 'massacre' is also one of the ways to pass the level."
