My retirement life in Neon

Lin Zian knew that this matter was not that simple as soon as he saw the entrance.

Because he heard a faint sound of water.

Lin Zian crouched down and went into the cave entrance. He did not feel open and bright as he walked in. Instead, it became narrower and narrower, and the water vapor became heavier and heavier. Not long after, Lin Zian heard the sound of water flowing.

An underground river, although not big, but the water flow was turbulent, and people who fell into it were almost dead, because they did not know if there were any stones in it.

Even Lin Zian had to send Chihiro to explore the way.

Not long after, Lin Zian came to a cave downstream of the underground river under the leadership of Chihiro. It was also thanks to the ancestors of the Gao Shi family that they could find this place. It was really amazing.

After all, who would look for such a place for no reason?

The cave was very strange, but this was obviously not the place that Gao Shi Shuichiro said, because there was a road in the cave.

It could not be considered a road, but just a crack that could be passed by one person, and the crack was blowing wind into it.

Lin Zian walked out along the crack and found that he was in a mountain, or more precisely, in a valley. He could see the sky when he looked up, and there were smooth stone walls all around, which looked more like man-made.

Lin Zian took a deep breath, feeling the remaining breath in the air and determined that this was the destination.

Looking around, Lin Zian couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Takaishi Shuichiro didn't dare to come, two of those people died."

Are the Japanese so unrefined? Cut the grass but not the root.

The reason why Lin Zian said this was because he found that this broken place was not the place where Takaishi Shuichiro said the ancestors tried the younger generation, but a simple killing place.

There was not even a blade of grass here. It was bare as far as the eye could see, with only a hole dug out on the stone wall.

Lin Zian walked over leisurely. Since he was here, of course he had to take a look before leaving, and he couldn't leave now, because something was staring at him.

As soon as he entered, he saw two skeletons, which should be the last batch of people who came in. It looked like they were torn apart from the waist by something, and there were some debris scattered on the ground.

Lin Zian checked it out and found nothing else, so he continued to go deeper.

But unfortunately, there was nothing valuable until he reached the end, and a skeleton leaning against the wall caught his attention.

The things on the skeleton had been stripped off, even the clothes were gone, but Lin Zian still saw that he was stabbed to death from the back.

As he continued to walk in, there were more and more skeletons, and most of the causes of death were crushed by something, and some bones were broken into pieces, which showed how powerful it was.

Lin Zian just leaned over to check the skeletons on the ground, and suddenly a gust of evil wind blew, and a "crackling" sound came from above his head.

Before Lin Zian had time to look up, a pressure came from above his head.

However, Lin Zian did not seem to be surprised by the appearance of this thing. Suddenly, a golden light rose from his body, which bounced the thing above his head away.

Then he looked at the monster that suddenly appeared.

"Oh, it turned out to be a human-faced centipede. Let me see how many human faces it has." Lin Zi'an counted them on the spot, "One, two, three..."

The monster in front of him was called a human-faced centipede. Its head was hideous and terrifying, and its two palatal teeth were as thick as his arms. If it was pinched by it, the two withered skeletons at the door would be a good example.

It was five or six meters long, with a flat body, and each section of its body had a distorted face. This thing was not born, but was artificially trained, but the method had long been lost, and the reason was that the process was too cruel and required a lot of life.

According to legend, the human-faced centipede would devour the souls of the people it killed, because every time it killed a person, a human face would grow on its back, which was quite curious, and it was not a physical entity, but looking at its current state, it was already a physical entity, which meant that it had killed at least hundreds of people.

After counting, Lin Zi'an also confirmed that there were 132 human faces, which meant that it had killed 132 people.

After being ejected by Lin Zian, the human-faced centipede looked at Lin Zian vigilantly. In its simple mind, there was no such person, and Lin Zian gave it a very dangerous feeling.

"Hmph! Fortunately, you have condensed into a physical entity and do not know how to change, otherwise this dark river really can't trap you." Lin Zian was thankful that this thing had no brains, otherwise the Japanese people would suffer if it went out.

Didn't you see that so many people died here?

Seeing that Lin Zian did not reveal any flaws, the human-faced centipede began to be unable to resist the drive of instinct and rushed towards Lin Zian.

Seeing it coming, Lin Zian took a step forward, and a large amount of golden liquid-like energy poured out from Lin Zian, forming a golden wave, which almost instantly wrapped the rushing human-faced centipede.

Of course, the human-faced centipede could not wait to die, and struggled inside, but it was not possible for it to break free from the giant net woven by Lin Zian. With only brute force, its fate was already doomed, and it was soon worn out and split into many residual souls.

Lin Zian threw the jade seal he carried with him at the human-faced centipede, and the residual souls were collected in it as if they had encountered a vacuum cleaner.

This time it seemed easy, but this was because the gap between Lin Zian and the human-faced centipede was too big. If you were to be crushed by Lin Zian directly with strength, you would die faster than anyone else.

Moreover, Lin Zian felt that Bingxian was much more threatening than it, because Bingxian had a brain and had lived with humans for a period of time, while the human-faced centipede was just a fool who only knew brute force, so even if it was stronger than Bingxian, it could hold out for a shorter time in his hands.

Lin Zian walked inside while checking the memories of the residual souls.

In the innermost part, Lin Zian found a low pit, in which was a yellow gourd that had fallen to the ground, and a mummy sitting cross-legged. The difference between this mummy and the others was that it was well preserved, with no obvious injuries, and it looked like it had died naturally.

Lin Zian searched for a while, but found nothing. Then he picked up the gourd in the mummy's hand, shook it for a while, and there was no sound, indicating that it was empty.

Lin Zian opened the lid, and a gray mist came out.

Then the mist turned into a residual soul in the shape of an old man in front of Lin Zian.

"Young man, thank you for saving me, I will fulfill one of your wishes."

"Are you the ancestor of the Gao Shi family? Have you been to China?" Lin Zian did not cooperate with him in playing the magic lamp game, but asked directly in Chinese.

The residual soul heard Lin Zian's words and just wanted to escape, but was caught by Lin Zian.

"It seems that you don't want to cooperate with me." Lin Zian reached out to catch him and beat him back to his original form. He only had time to say "Spare my life!" before Lin Zian suppressed him.

Lin Zian had never thought of letting him go. Since he didn't take the initiative, Lin Zian had to take the initiative.

Lin Zian immediately closed his eyes and began to check the origin of this residual soul.

After a while, Lin Zian opened his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect it to be another traitor."

I have opened a new book, but this one will not affect the update. The new book is a Pokémon fanfiction. If you are interested, you can take a look.
