I'm in the world of Xianjian

Lin Shen and his group found the Fuhu Gang's base. Lin Shen saw that the defense was very lax, with only two dozing minions at the door.

But just in case, Lin Shen used his Observation Haki to observe the movements inside and found that there were more than a dozen minions inside, as well as a closed room with several girls inside.

Lin Shen thought about it and realized that he could just rush in. But he was afraid that the people inside would kill him.

Lin Shen told Li Xiaoyao and others about the situation inside. Li Xiaoyao suggested that he pretend to be a minion to escort Lin Yueru and others in, and then Lin Shen would cooperate with them from outside.

Zhao Linger thought it was too dangerous for Lin Shen to be without someone to take care of him, so Lin Yueru suggested staying with Lin Shen.

Lin Shen thought: There's nothing wrong with this plan. At worst, we can fix it if something goes wrong. Besides, Lin Yueru is not suitable to go in because she is a Suzhou native. Those minions probably know her, and if she's not careful, something bad might happen.

So he agreed, and then conjured up a set of minion clothes for Li Xiaoyao to change into, and then tied up Zhao Linger and Anu, but left a loose knot when tying them up.

Li Xiaoyao escorted Zhao Linger and Anu to the narrow gate, and the henchman asked, "Who are you?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "To escort new goods."

The soldiers looked back and their eyes widened when they saw Zhao Linger and Anu.

Li Xiaoyao coughed twice and said, "The boss hasn't come back yet, so it's a bit inappropriate to touch him now."

The minion soldier said, "Yes, yes, yes."

So the soldiers locked up Ling'er and Anu together with the captured girls.

Li Xiaoyao was secretly searching for the account book inside when he arrived at the gathering hall of the Fuhu Gang. At the front was the seat for the gang leader, with a large tiger skin on it. Below that were two rows of chairs, probably for the leaders.

Li Xiaoyao found the account book under the tiger skin and stole the key to the detention room.

Lin Shen outside began to use summoning magic to summon more than twenty goblins and three minotaurs.

Lin Shen pointed his staff at the village gate and shouted, "Kill!"

The goblins and minotaurs charged towards the Fuhu Gang. Upon hearing the noise outside, the minotaurs rushed out to engage the goblins. The clash of weapons was incessant.

Lin Yueru next to him said, "Anos, you give me the feeling that there is nothing you won't do."

Lin Shen jokingly said, "There's one thing I can't do."

"what?"

"Having a baby."

Lin Yueru laughed when she heard it, pushed Lin Shen and said, "Hateful. There is something I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Thank you for saving me from the martial arts competition today."

"what!?"

"Don't play dumb with me. The strong wind that blew away Brother Li's sword energy was your doing, right?"

"You found out." After saying that, Lin Shen tapped Lin Yueru's forehead.

"Anos, what are you doing?"

At this moment, I heard a voice in my head, "I am signing a contract with you to transmit my voice over a thousand miles. If something happens and I'm not around, I can use this to transmit my voice to you."

"I don't know how Sister Ling'er and the others are doing."

At this time, Li Xiaoyao inside heard the deafening shouts and screams outside and knew that Lin Shen had taken action.

So Li Xiaoyao opened the room while no one was watching, and Ling'er and Anu inside also broke free from the ropes. Anu and Li Xiaoyao covered the girls and helped them leave.

Just as Zhao Linger was about to leave, she felt unwell all over and collapsed to the ground. Her hair began to turn red, and scales appeared on her waist and feet.

After a while, the Fuhu Gang's minions were either dead or injured. Lin Shen and Lin Yueru walked to the gate of the village. Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and the goblins and minotaurs disappeared.

Li Xiaoyao and Anu also walked out. Li Xiaoyao handed the account book to Lin Shen. Lin Shen simply flipped through a few pages, which were all records of the trafficking of young girls.

Lin Yueru discovered that Zhao Linger was missing and asked, "Where is Sister Linger?"

At this time, someone inside was heard shouting "Snake demon~!"

Lin Shen suddenly panicked and shouted, "Oh no, Ling'er!" and ran inside immediately.

Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Anu also ran in. Several girls inside ran out, shouting "Snake demon! There's a snake demon~!" Lin Shen guessed that Zhao Linger's spiritual power might have gone out of control.

When Lin Shen ran to the room where the girl was imprisoned, he was shocked by the scene inside: there was a half-human, half-snake monster with red hair, several meters long, and a green snake body in the lower half. She kept covering her face with her hands.

Lin Shen seemed relatively calm because he knew the plot. He said, "Ling'er, is that you?"

The "snake demon" acted very calm, but was still unwilling to approach Lin Shen. Lin Shen said, "It's me, Anos. Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

At this moment, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru ran in. Li Xiaoyao saw a "snake demon" in the room, drew his sword and shouted, "Bold snake demon, where did you take Ling'er? I'm going to chop you off" and then stabbed the "snake demon" with his sword.

Lin Shen conjured up a staff to block Li Xiaoyao's attack, then stood in front of the "snake demon" and shouted, "Don't hurt her!"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Anos, why are you speaking for the snake demon?"

Lin Shen shouted, "She is not a snake demon, she is..."

At this moment, the "snake demon" was startled and immediately broke through the wall and escaped.

When Lin Shen saw the "snake demon" retreating, he angrily slapped Li Xiaoyao in the face and yelled, "You idiot!"

Then Lin Shen jumped out of the hole and chased in the direction where the "snake demon" was going away.

Anu came in later and asked, "Where is the snake demon?"

Lin Yueru pointed to the hole. Anu found that Lin Shen was also missing and asked, "Where are the Anos?"

Lin Yueru said, "He went after the snake demon."

Anu was afraid of something happening, so she also chased out through the hole.

Li Xiaoyao took a long time to get up. His face was swollen from Lin Shen's slap. Li Xiaoyao was confused and asked, "What...what is going on?"

Lin Yueru said, "I feel a little dizzy now. Let's take the girls back first. Then we can look for Sister Ling'er."

After running a distance, Lin Shen shouted, "Ling'er! Ling'er~! Where are you~! Answer me~!"

I thought to myself: Ling'er, please don't get into trouble.

At this time, the system prompt sound came: "Ding!

Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest.

Reward system coins: 3000 coins!

The reward is the same red copper mask as General Sang!

Reward the host with Azure Dragon Armor!"

Before Lin Shen could even begin to rant, the system notification chimed again, "Ding! Main quest now released: Find and subdue the rampaging Zhao Linger, and reunite with Anu!"

Lin Shen thought: That's right, the red-haired snake demon girl is Ling'er. In the original novel, she was pregnant with Li Xiaoyao's child, and was detained by the Lin family because Li Xiaoyao participated in a martial arts competition to win a wife.

Her intentional withdrawal caused a huge emotional upheaval, which in turn caused her spiritual power to go out of control. She wasn't pregnant this time, so how could she lose control?

At this time, Lin Shen called out the system and asked, "The last scan said that Zhao Linger was not pregnant. Did you make a mistake?"

The system said categorically, "I can be 100% sure, no."

Lin Shen said, "After we find Ling'er this time, we'll check again. If there's a misdiagnosis, I won't forgive you."

The system gave in and said, "Okay, okay. Let's talk about it after the host finds Zhao Linger."

Lin Shen realized he had run into a dense forest and had no idea where he was. He could only continue searching inside like a headless fly.
