Infinite Five Elements Counterattack

Chapter 99 The Rod of Life

"Don't you have anything to say?" Shan Lin suddenly looked at Priest Will and said.

When Shan Lin asked inexplicably, Priest Will panicked, "No, no!"

"Oh?"

Chu Rui was also confused by Shan Lin, "Why, what did you find?"

Shan Lin did not answer Chu Rui, but stared straight at Priest Will, and said coldly: "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, no matter whether you trust us or not, everyone's ultimate goal is the same. If you really know something, I hope you can be honest."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the struggling Priest Will, but turned his attention to the blue transparent sphere left on the ground after Senior disappeared.

Dan Lin picked up the blue glass ball without panic. He found that the blue ball was made of unknown materials, but it was very soft.Shan Lin lowered his head and pondered for a while, then put it into the space casually.

After Zang Zheyan saw Priest Will being questioned by Dan Lin, he actually showed a struggling expression, which was obviously hiding something.

"I said, you guys are too unreliable! We worked so hard for your teacher, and you dare not report it!" Zang Zheyan was very annoyed at the concealment of Will's sacrifice.

"Quickly, what the hell are you doing? Are you planning to plot against us when we are not paying attention?"

"No, no, how can you say that about me!" Hearing Zheyan's question, Priest Will was obviously not convinced.

"Really not?" Zheyan expressed doubts, "Then what are you hiding, and invite it truthfully!"

Priest Will seemed to have gone through a lot of inner struggle, and finally gave up and said: "Okay. Do you know why I left Vardan City and hid in a small village?"

Shan Lin and the others really set their sights on Priest Will.

Priest Will sighed and said, "I didn't intend to hide it. I really didn't expect things to develop to such an extent. Hey, the reason why I hide is mainly because of the staff of life!"

"The stick of life? What is that?" Zheyan was curious.

"The reason why the teacher is hailed as the sacred priest of Vardan City is because, on the one hand, the teacher is the most authoritative and powerful priest in Bold City, and the main reason is the staff of life."

"Oh? Is there anything special about it?" Shan Lin was also interested.

Priest Will shook his head, "I can only tell you that the staff of life is a staff full of vitality. It represents the authority of the holy priest, and only the holy priest is qualified to use it."

Priest Will finally told Shan Lin and the others the hidden secret.

It turned out that Senior was so obsessed with Brian not only because Brian's existence affected his interests, but also because of the stick of life.Senior has asked Brian for the stick of life many times, and even used threats and lures.Unfortunately, Brian never wavered.

Brian didn't know why Senior was so obsessed with the Rod of Life, but he also understood that if the Rod of Life fell into Senior's hands, it might bring even greater disaster to Vardan City.Considering this, he felt that he might not be able to protect the Rod of Life, so he looked for an opportunity to ask his apprentice, Priest Will, to leave Wadan City with the Rod of Life.

"So, the stick of life is in your hand?" Zang Zheyan stared at Priest Will with bright eyes.

Zang Zheyan looked at Priest Will's scalp, and he couldn't help asking defensively, "What do you want?"

Zang Zheyan sneered boredly, "Look at how promising you are, I'm just curious, I don't like a broken crutch!"

Priest Will did not believe Zheyan's nonsense.

"So, if you take out the stick of life, you can lure Senior out of the manor?"

Priest Will was obviously not sure, "I don't know either."

"You can give it a try!" Shan Lin affirmed.

Since Brian let Will take the stick of life away, he obviously knew that he was unable to protect it, and it also proved that in Brian's heart, the stick of life was more important than his life.

"The teacher means that no matter what happens, the stick of life must never be handed over to Senior!" Priest Will still hesitated.

Zang Zheyan said impatiently: "Why are you such a mother-in-law? Who said you should hand over that broken crutch to Senior? That's just a cover to lure him out, understand?"

"Really?" Priest Will asked, but looked at Dan Lin.

Shan Lin really nodded and said: "That's right, our purpose is not only to rescue your teacher, but also to eradicate Senior!"

The Pen of the Five Elements is obviously very important to Senior, and I'm afraid I'll never get it if I don't defeat him.

Priest Will gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll go back and get the staff now!"

Shan Lin glanced at Zang Zheyan, "You can go with him, in case you meet the guards along the way, there will be someone to take care of you."

Zang Zheyan curled his lips, although he was unhappy, he still agreed.

After Priest Will and Zang Zheyan left, Chu Rui looked at Shan Lin and asked with some concern, "Is tomorrow the last day?"

Shan Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Chu Rui was talking about 'curse of the undead'.

There was a hint of worry in Chu Rui's eyes, "What if, what if Senior doesn't show up?"

A cold light flashed in Dan Lin's eyes, "Then we can only attack the villa by force."

Chu Rui nodded first, and then said uncertainly: "Senior said he has a way to lift the 'curse of the undead', if it doesn't work, we can..."

"You mean the best deal with him? Give him the nib of the Five Elements Pen, on the condition that he help me lift the 'curse of the undead'?" Shan Lin interrupted.

Chu Rui hurriedly replied: "Although the mission failed, at least I can save my life!"

"Oh?" There was an intriguing smile on Shan Lin's face, "You're not going to save Brian anymore? Do you have the heart to watch everyone in Vardan City being persecuted by Senior?"

Chu Rui was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Shan Lin meant.

That's right, when did he become so... cold?

No, it should be indifference.

Although he didn't want to believe it, Chu Rui had to admit that he had changed.There is still kindness in his heart, but this kindness has unconsciously divided you and me.

Thinking of this, Chu Rui smiled wryly and said, "Although it's a bit hard to say, I have to admit that I have changed."

That's true, just like when Shan Lin and Zang Zheyan mercilessly beheaded the guards, he didn't stop them.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Chu Rui really won't blindly regard the dungeon as the real world anymore.

Seeing the bitter expression on Chu Rui's face, Shan Lin wanted to ridicule, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything.

"It's not that I haven't thought about trading with Senior." Shan Lin said, "However, apart from whether Senior can lift the curse of the undead, I don't dare to bet on his cruel to crazy character alone."

That's right, Shan Lin did think about trading with Senior.However, the 'curse of the undead' was planted by the old wizard at the cost of his life. Senior is just an alchemist. Even if he is a genius, is there really a way?

The most important thing is that whenever Shan Lin thinks of Senior looking at him, he feels uncomfortable.He had a hunch that even if he gave Senior the tip of the Five Elements Pen, Senior would not let him go.

"Try using the stick of life to lure Senior to leave the manor first. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to think about other things." Shan Lin finally said.

Chu Rui nodded in agreement, without words.

At this time, Shan Lin suddenly thought of something, and suddenly a thick long sword appeared in his hand.

It was the Benlei sword obtained by smashing eggs before!

"Use this sword first." Shan Lin casually threw the Ben Lei Sword to Chu Rui.

Chu Rui hurriedly took the Benlei Sword, and after checking the attributes casually, a look of shock appeared on his face, "This is... a D-level weapon? Thunder attribute!"

Shan Lin said with some awkwardness: "This sword is too heavy for me to use. Although we haven't formally fought against Senior, just the title of 'Genius Alchemist' is worth our all-out effort."

"Eh... well, I'll return the copy to you when it's out." Chu Rui didn't put it down, and immediately put it away.

Shan Lin nodded noncommittally.

It was almost early morning when Zang Zheyan and Priest Will came back again. After everyone discussed the countermeasures for tomorrow, they went back to their rooms to rest.

During this period, Shan Lin also saw the stick of life.It looks like a dark green tree root, and you can feel the majestic vitality in it just by looking at it with your eyes.

Such a strange thing, no wonder Senior coveted it so much.

In the early morning of the second day, Priest Will went to the City Lord's Mansion according to the method they had discussed, while Shan Lin and the others rushed towards the northwest suburbs.

The countermeasures they discussed were very simple and rude.It was Priest Will who went to the Santo's Mansion to contact Sally, and then asked Sally to tell Senior through the Santo, that he planned to exchange the life stick for the life of teacher Brian, and the trading place was set in the ruins of the northwest suburb.

As for Shan Lin and the others, they ambushed around the ruins in advance, and after Senior arrived, they took advantage of his attention on the stick of life to launch a sneak attack.

Although their plan seemed to be full of loopholes, according to their understanding, although Senior was a genius alchemist, he was very cruel and tyrannical, but he was not a person with a strange mind or good at calculating.

Moreover, as a 'genius' alchemist, Senior also has the problem of self-confidence or arrogance. Even if he knew that Shan Lin and the others would lie in ambush there, he would not be timid at all.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shan Lin and the others don't have much time, so they don't have time to make any proper plans.

The fact is also as Shan Lin speculated, Senior agreed to the exchange very simply, and did not question the location of the exchange, and agreed immediately.

Ever since, Shan Lin, Chu Rui and Zang Zheyan have been lying in ambush around the ruins, waiting for the arrival of Priest Will and Senior...
