I'm in the world of Xianjian
Chapter 152: Conversation in the Tree
After Li Xiaoyao and his friends finished their meal, they found that Lin Shen still had not returned. Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru walked out of the wooden house with two chicken legs.
Zhao Linger was searching while calling out, "Brother Anos, where are you?" As they searched, they heard a voice saying, "Linger, I'm here."
The two looked up and saw Lin Shen sitting on a tree branch.
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, you made it so hard for me to find you."
Lin Shen said, "I'm sorry, Ling'er and Yueru. I'm in a bad mood and I disturbed your meal."
The two shook their heads, and Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, Linger knows. But... it hurts my neck to tilt my neck up to talk like this."
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and snapped his fingers, teleporting Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru to his side. After the two sat down, Zhao Linger handed the chicken leg to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen said, "This...what is this?"
Zhao Linger said, "Just now I saw that you didn't eat anything, so I brought you two chicken legs. Brother Anos, you should at least eat something."
Lin Yueru chimed in, saying, "This is something Sister Ling'er left specially for you. Don't be ungrateful."
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Ling'er, Yueru, thank you for still thinking of me." After that, Lin Shen took the chicken leg and started eating.
Lin Yueru said, "Anos, you are actually worried about Ling'er's safety."
Lin Shen finished the two chicken legs in just a few bites and put the chicken bones aside.
Lin Shen sighed and said, "Yes, Yueru. I am actually very worried about Ling'er's safety. It may be because of the big battle later, many people will die.
Although I have fought in many battles, both large and small, and have killed many people, I still tremble a little when facing war.
I don’t know how many people will die in this battle, how many people will lose their loved ones and friends.”
Lin Yueru said, "Is this also the reason why you don't want Miss Jiang to be in danger?"
Lin Shen nodded and said, "After all, this is a war, not a joke. And I'm also worried..."
Zhao Linger said, "You are talking about the water monster, right?"
Lin Shen closed his eyes and said nothing. The two knew that Lin Shen had tacitly agreed.
After a long while, Lin Shen finally spoke, "After all, Ling'er's mother has already sacrificed herself once. I... I'm really scared..."
As he spoke, Lin Shen clenched his fists tightly, and a "crunching" sound and a few drops of blood could be heard from his fists.
Lin Yueru said, "You are still the same, always worried that you can't change your fate.
Just like before we went to the Demon Locking Tower, you wanted to sneak in alone, and even deliberately released the sleepy bug to prevent us from catching up."
Lin Shen said, "You all...know everything."
Zhao Linger held Lin Shen's hand and said, "Drunken Sword Immortal discovered it when he saw us.
Actually...Brother Anos, you don't have to force yourself like this. You don't have to shoulder everything by yourself."
Lin Shen said, "Ling'er, you know what. When you said those words to me in the Fire Qilin Cave, I was really...really happy.
But...but I'm also afraid, afraid that you'll leave me. In the original timeline, this has already happened once.
I’m so scared it’ll happen again. And in front of my eyes...”
Having said this, Lin Shen could no longer speak, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger knew that Lin Shen was under too much pressure, so they didn't say much.
Zhao Linger hugged Lin Shen and said, "Brother Anos, I know you feel bad. Cry for a while, and you'll feel better.
Brother Anos, Ling'er promises you that she will survive, definitely.
Ling'er is going to travel the six realms with you, Sister Yueru, and Anu."
Lin Shen hummed and began to cry loudly. Zhao Linger said nothing, but patted his back gently.
Lin Yueru said, "Other people cry because of loss or fear, but Anos cries because of responsibility."
Zhao Linger just said "hmm". Lin Shen's crying was seen by Anu and Jiang Wan'er who were following not far away.
Jiang Wan'er sighed and said, "This is the first time I've seen my benefactor like this, but there's nothing I can do."
Anu said, "With Sister Ling'er and Sister Yueru by his side, Brother Anos will be fine.
Actually, I also know that water monsters are not so easy to deal with, otherwise the Witch Queen wouldn't...
If only I could be stronger, that would be great. I also don't want the tragedy that happened to the Witch Queen to happen to Sister Ling'er again."
After crying for who knows how long, Lin Shen's sobbing gradually stopped.
Lin Yueru took out a handkerchief to wipe Lin Shen's tears and said, "Anos, cry out all the fear in your heart. Let's work together to rewrite our destiny.
You have already changed my fate, and I believe you can also change Ling'er's fate."
Lin Shen nodded and said "hmm". Zhao Linger asked, "Brother Anos, what should we do now?"
Lin Shen said, "We need to go to the Trial Cave. The Saint Aunt said that a sword landed in the Trial Cave two years ago. The poisonous creatures in it have become more aggressive, and the number of puppet insects has also begun to decrease. That should be the sword I'm looking for.
In addition, there is a Nuwa trial at the bottom of the trial cave. If you pass it successfully, it will be of great help to improve Ling'er's strength."
Lin Yueru said, "Okay, let's get ready. We'll go to the Trial Cave tomorrow."
So Lin Shen teleported Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger back to the ground, and the two walked towards the wooden house.
As they walked, they found Anu and Jiang Waner. Anu whispered, "How is Brother Anos?"
Lin Yueru said, "It's much better now."
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos is just like before we went to the Demon Locking Tower. He is afraid that he can't change his fate."
Jiang Wan'er said, "Why do you have to do this, benefactor? You carry all the burdens by yourself."
Lin Yueru said, "Let's prepare well, we have to go to the trial cave tomorrow."
Anu gasped and said, "Trial Cave!?"
Jiang Wan'er asked, "Why, is the Trial Cave scary?"
Anu said, "Sister Jiang, you don't know that there are many terrible poisonous creatures in the trial cave.
Lizards, toads, scorpions, and the like, most people don't dare to go in casually. Usually only people who collect puppet insects will go in."
Zhao Linger said, “My mother-in-law said that two years ago, a sword fell into the trial cave. The poison inside has become more aggressive, and the number of puppet insects has also decreased.
And brother Anos said there is a Nuwa trial on the bottom floor, so we must go this time."
At this time, Lin Shen received a system prompt "
Ding!
Now releasing the main quest: Enter the Trial Cave and help Zhao Linger pass the Nuwa Trial! "
Lin Shen muttered, "I have to go to the Trial Cave tomorrow. I also need to adjust my condition."
After a night of rest, they gathered at the door of the cabin the next day.
The Saint Lady said, "There are many poisonous substances in the Trial Cave. Please be careful."
Lin Shen said, "I understand. We will be careful."
Lin Shen turned around and looked at everyone. Everyone nodded at him, and he nodded back. Then, he used the Yuexing technique to lead everyone away.
