Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 148 Chapter 147: Who is the protagonist?
Lin Beixuan had just blocked a sudden knife attack when countless more swords attacked from behind.

The thick yin energy was cut by the blade and rolled to both sides. The swords, which seemed illusory but had actual killing power, were like wild beasts out of a cage, opening their mouths to tear off a layer of flesh.

But at this moment, Eleven, who had been leaning quietly against the boulder, suddenly moved.

The power of the monsters was truly displayed before Lin Beixuan at this moment.

Eleven gently raised the rusty knife in his hand and swung it upwards.

In an instant, the wind and sand rose up, and the countless ghost soldiers rushing towards Lin Beixuan didn't even have a chance to resist. They were instantly swept up by the sword light and crushed to pieces.

Lin Beixuan's hair was blown back. He tilted his head to look at Eleven, only to see that the other party had stood up, his dry bones supporting armor, his molars opening and closing, and ghostly fire in his eyes.

Behind him, a huge figure standing tall and upright was looming, with yin energy flowing and a faint spiritual light emitting from it.

"After being sealed for decades, these ghost soldiers are extremely hungry for the flesh and blood of living beings. Do you still want to go in?"

Eleven walked in front of Lin Beixuan, his bones and armor rubbing against each other harshly, and his body seemed like it was about to collapse.

Lin Beixuan frowned: "You are not in the right state!"

"The seal lasted too long, and it consumed a lot of my strength."

Eleven turned around and looked at Lin Beixuan. Just now he saw that Lin Beixuan inadvertently used the power of the Soul Sealing Forbidden Area.

The fact that Lin Beixuan could escape from the forbidden area had already aroused his curiosity. He did not expect that the other party could actually use the power of the soul-sealing forbidden area, which left him puzzled.

As the keeper of the seal, he knows the power of the seal best.

That is the basis for sealing off the entire Black Evil Valley.

"What exactly is in there?" Lin Beixuan asked, staring at the ghost fire in Eleven Bone.

"He was once the fourth-ranked General of the Cavalry in the history of the dynasties. Now he is a ghost general, commanding tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in this valley."

Eleven raised his head: "Leave as soon as possible, there is still a way to survive."

"I don't know why you survived his attacks twice, but the gap between you is too big. If you enter in physical form and get caught, there is no chance of survival." Eleven said slowly as the azure ghost fire flickered.

There seemed to be a special emotion in his words towards Lin Beixuan, and he didn't want Lin Beixuan to die like this.

"Sorry, if you had told me earlier, I might have listened to you and went back, but now I can't do that!" Lin Beixuan shook his head.

"That baby spirit? It's not worth it." Eleven said lightly.

Lin Beixuan shrugged helplessly.

"Although I sealed the Black Evil Valley so that they could not come out freely, the ghost general has also figured out a lot of the rules of the forbidden area after so many years. This is why some weaker ghosts were able to escape to the periphery."

"If you go in, I can't help you."

Lin Beixuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party actually had the idea of helping him.

But why?
Is it because he has experienced some of the other party's special memories?
It won't be that simple.

But at this moment Lin Beixuan had no time to think about it, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Perhaps you are right, but it is very important to me. I will be careful on this trip to the valley."

Seeing Lin Beixuan so persistent, Eleven was silent for a moment, and slowly made way for the entrance into the Black Evil Valley.

He watched Lin Beixuan's back slowly disappear into the mist. Without saying a word, he returned to the boulder and leaned his back against it. The ghost fire in his eyes instantly went out.

……

"That ghost general should know of my existence. We can't stay in this valley for too long. Leave once we find peace."

The Black Evil Valley is much larger than Lin Beixuan had imagined. The roads inside are interconnected and it seems as if there will never be an end.

During this period, he encountered a total of three waves of ghost soldiers. These ghost soldiers seemed to be wandering in the valley in the form of patrol teams. After discovering him, they immediately launched an attack, but he solved them one by one.

At this time, two beams of energy had converged in Lin Beixuan's body, and the illusory gate at the center of his eyebrows had opened a gap, extending power outwards.

"No wonder everyone in the game likes to hunt elite monsters, the experience points are really too high!" Lin Beixuan took a deep breath.

He had signed a contract with the infant spirit and could vaguely sense its location. He followed the sensation and searched all the way, and finally found the trace of the infant spirit beside a stream in the valley.

What was surprising was that the small stream in front of us was black and red, as if it was extremely rich blood, emitting a fishy smell.

Lin Beixuan looked up and saw a small blue-gray figure floating on the water, with its belly sticking out. It held a Yin fruit in its hand and took a bite from time to time, with a look of satisfaction on its little face.

"..."

I risked my life to look for you in the valley for a long time, but you actually enjoyed yourself in there?

Lin Beixuan's face turned dark, and he stepped forward to fish the baby spirit out of the stream, but as soon as he stepped into the stream, he sensed something was wrong.

This stream was not as simple as imagined. When Lin Beixuan stepped over it, he suddenly felt like he was stepping on the back of some creature. It was slightly elastic and not a real stream.

Sure enough, when he realized something was wrong and was about to withdraw immediately, the black stream seemed to be a conscious spider web that clung to his legs and he couldn't get rid of it.

[You encounter a special target: black blood mycelium. ]

[The spirit and monster encyclopedia is opened, and the black blood mycelium information is successfully unlocked. 】

[Black Blood Mycelium: A spirit creature that grows in places where Yin Qi gathers. It controls some of the ways of the river god and can dissolve in water, controlling the mycelium to devour passers-by.]

[You come into contact with and fight against the black blood mycelium, successfully copying the ability from it - Symbiosis.]

[Symbiosis (Green): Each mycelium has its own consciousness, which can share the information it senses at any time. Spirit +6, Speed +3. ]

The prompt on the panel instantly let Lin Beixuan know the other party's origin. The monster in front of him was born naturally in the Black Evil Valley. Its mycelium dissolved in the stream, so it had the ability to control the stream.

These hyphae were like a piece of glue with extremely strong adhesion, sticking to Lin Beixuan and trying to drag him into the lake.

On the other side, the infant spirit lying on the surface of the stream and leisurely eating the Yin Fruit turned its head after hearing the noise. After discovering Lin Beixuan, it immediately stood on the stream and ran towards Lin Beixuan, shouting "Ahhh" at the same time.

Obviously, it missed Lin Beixuan a little during the time they were apart.

However, what was strange was that when the baby spirit's feet touched the water surface, it was not trapped by the black blood hyphae at all. The hyphae bypassed the baby spirit's feet just when they were about to touch them.

"what?"

The infant spirit came to Lin Beixuan and saw that Lin Beixuan's legs were firmly stuck by the black blood fungus hyphae, and tilted its head curiously.

"What are you looking at? Help me." Lin Beixuan said with a displeased look on his face.

When the baby spirit came running over, he noticed the peculiar living environment between the baby spirit and the black blood mycelium. The black blood mycelium seemed to be afraid of the baby spirit.

The infant spirit nodded immediately upon hearing this, and took out a pair of scissors from somewhere and cut the mycelium stuck to Lin Beixuan's legs. 'Crack'.

It was as if a pair of scissors cut through cowhide, and the mycelium was cut off in an instant. The mycelium remaining on Lin Beixuan's legs lost its follow-up strength and crawled around like a worm.

Lin Beixuan raised his leg and kicked in the air, and the hyphae were immediately thrown away by the huge force.

These hyphae were shaken off to the ground and soon began to wither and die rapidly.

"Where have you been all this time?" Lin Beixuan looked at the exaggerated scissors in the infant spirit's hand and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah, ah..."

The infant spirit pointed in the air with both hands, and then took out the evil-gathering bead from behind its buttocks.

At this time, the Evil Gathering Pearl had completely turned pure black, and it was filled with rich evil energy, even more than what Lin Beixuan had just picked up from the corpse of the White-Haired Howler.

"You mean you accidentally drifted into a cave not long after you and I separated, and there was a dead body in it, and that's where you got the scissors?"

"what!"

The infant spirit was very proud and waved the scissors in the air, cutting as if he liked this weapon very much.

Lin Beixuan's face was stiff, he couldn't understand what this scene was about, where someone fell into danger, survived, fell into a cave and got a treasure. Shouldn't this kind of thing happen to me?
Looking intently at the scissors, information immediately appeared on the panel.

[Sadness and Joy Scissors (Blue): People have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, and letters from home are worth a fortune. This pair of scissors has cut up tens of thousands of letters from home. The soldiers in the army missed their families but could not get their families to care for them, which turned into resentment and attached to the scissors that cut up the letters. Strength +15, Critical Hit +20, with the additional skill - Sharp Cut.]

[Quick Knife Cuts Chaos: Love in the secular world is the deepest, and the transformation of humans into evil spirits is all due to obsession. If the obsession is cut off, it will lose its roots and become like duckweed. Speed +10, power -30, and critical hit +0.5 for each obsession cut within a short period of time. ]

Lin Beixuan stared blankly at the pair of scissors in the infant spirit's hand, and for a moment he was unable to recover.

The properties of this pair of Scissors of Joy and Sorrow are in no way inferior to the Soul-Hooking Chain he got from the Soul-Binding God. In fact, in terms of attack power, this pair of Scissors of Joy and Sorrow is even better.

And like the Soul-Hunting Chains, the Scissors of Joy and Sorrow seem to be a weapon that is also very effective against ghosts.

Lin Beixuan turned his head to look at the baby spirit with a pouting face, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Has the purple quality fate Changshi Yincha started to take effect so soon?"

Not only is he living well in the lair of the evil soldiers and ghost generals in the Black Evil Valley, but he also gets to eat and get all kinds of treasures. This is a perfect template of a destined protagonist.

Forget it, let’s escape first.

Lin Beixuan picked up the infant spirit by the scruff of the neck and placed it on his shoulder, then began to return along the route he had taken.

Regarding the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron, one must first make sure that one is safe before taking it. On the way here, Lin Beixuan paid attention but did not find any signs of the Starry Sky Meteorite Iron.

This means that either there is no Starry Sky Meteorite Iron in the Black Evil Valley and the information Tao Tao gave him is wrong, or it is in the very center of the Black Evil Valley.

Lin Beixuan quickened his pace and rushed towards the exit with the baby spirit.

Perhaps because he had been corroded by the negative energy in the valley for too long, he felt that something was wrong with his body. Although he could still swallow the turbid air and condense the Qi Liang normally, his whole body was cold and stiff, and his heart beat faster, as if something wanted to leave his body.

As time passed slowly, Lin Beixuan found himself becoming more and more nervous.

"wrong."

Lin Beixuan suddenly stopped and looked at the blurry path ahead.

"This is not the way to leave." He quickly reacted.

When he came in, he left marks on the roadside to make it easier for him to find the infant spirit and leave. Now he has been moving forward according to the marked locations.

But what surprised him was that the time didn't match.

He had encountered three waves of ghost soldiers before, and it took a lot of time to kill them, but this time he did not encounter any ghost soldiers on the way back, and it took him even longer.

Lin Beixuan frowned, listened attentively to the movements around him, and suddenly pulled out a sharp knife and slashed towards the side beside him.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to realize something was wrong so quickly. I thought I could tease you a little longer."

A frivolous voice suddenly came from the side, and the dark mist automatically separated to both sides and quickly thinned out. A handsome and evil-looking young man fanning himself came out with a team of ghost soldiers.

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the ghost that was walking forward.

The other person gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Let me calculate how long it has been since I last saw a stranger. Ten years, twenty years... Alas, I can't remember!" The young man folded his folding fan, counted on his fingers, and finally sighed helplessly.

"You know, we actually spotted you when you came in and have been following you. We thought you wanted to help the lone soldier outside do something big, but we didn't expect you to just come in to find a little baby spirit and then leave."

"You have let me down too much!"

The young man's eyes suddenly became vicious, his originally handsome face began to distort, and purple-black blood vessels appeared on his face.

Lin Beixuan frowned and looked at the other person. He reached out to the Baina Qiankun bag and took out a cold and thick hook chain.

Originally, he didn't want to take out the Soul-Catching Chain unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, it once belonged to the Soul-Binding God, and using it might attract the other party's attention again.

But now that I have fallen into the other party's trap, I can't care about these things anymore.

The soul-catching chains swung, and the dark energy with a bit of disaster breath blew on the young man's distorted face, causing the other's hideous face to suddenly freeze and then laugh.

"You're going to use this against me?"

"The Xie family is good at using mourning and beating spirits, and the Fan family often uses soul-snatching. These things can be used to deal with little ghosts, but you are looking down on me by using them to entertain me."

The young man raised his hand, and the thick yin energy instantly condensed into a roll of paper and a brush in his hand.

"Let me take a good look at you."

The young man tilted his head and looked up and down at Lin Beixuan's face, then unfolded the paper scroll and was about to paint on it.

He wanted to draw what Lin Beixuan looked like.

In the secular world, there is an evil practice called face tracing. By looking at another person's face and drawing it on paper, one can invisibly replicate the other person's life energy on the paper. The paper with the face drawn on it is closely related to the other person's life energy.

If the drawing paper is destroyed, the life energy of the person being painted will also be affected. In mild cases, the person will be seriously ill for a few days, and in severe cases, the person will die on the spot. This is one of the most despicable and vicious ways in the secular world, and the victim is often harmed without knowing anything.

The young man looked at Lin Beixuan's face carefully, but the brush in his hand did not stop at all and wrote quickly.

But just when he was feeling proud and finished drawing Lin Beixuan's face and was about to add eyes to that face.

But he suddenly found that he couldn't even click on the last stroke.
