The world's bosses are waiting for me to wake up

The last time Lin Xuece saw Lin Qingtian was when he and Minghe came out of Qiuye Village and returned to Haijing City.

Dai Li stayed in Wu Gui's villa, thinking that Lin Qingtian would not let it go, but the strange thing is that he never showed up again.

Wu Gui is not here, and everyone doesn't know much about the dynamics of Haijing City's business district. Lin Xuece is busy studying and treating the cubs, and the cubs are busy practicing and reminiscing about the old days. Everyone is too busy, so naturally they won't take time to check on Lin Qing. The situation of the Tian family.

They don't come to find fault, everyone is happy and clean.

It never occurred to me that I hadn't seen him for a few months, and when I heard from him again, he would be in Tanping Town.

Everyone's reaction was so great that the waiter was taken aback: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"We are from Haijing City and have heard of them." Lin Xuece explained.

"That's it." The waiter said, "Is it possible that your relatives are here to find them when they go up the mountain?"

Lin Xuece nodded.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, the waiter thought they were worried about Wu Gui and the others' safety, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, there are no traces left, it must be safe, if you search patiently, you might be able to find someone tomorrow. "

"Thank you for your reminder." Lin Xuece thanked.

The waiter waved his hand, and when he saw the proprietress coming, he hurried away to go to work.

Seeing the waiter talking with Lin Xuece and others, the proprietress glanced at everyone suspiciously, but after waiting for a long time, the little sea rabbit came to change rooms, so the proprietress felt relieved and sat behind the service desk to watch TV dramas again.

If they didn't know that the next door was the room where Lin Qingtian and the others lived, Little Haitu might change rooms. Now that they knew new clues, they would naturally not let it go.

After nightfall, everyone gathered in the little sea rabbit's room, and went directly to the next door over the wall.

Lin Qingtian and the others lived in a suite, which was larger than the little sea rabbit's room. Lin Xuece saw some items belonging to Lin Guohua and Zheng Meiling in the room.

After all, he has lived in the Lin family for so many years, and he recognized some of their things at a glance. He was sure that the three people who had the accident this time were the Lin Qingtian family.

Other than that, on the surface, there is no abnormality.

Lin Xuece walked towards the bathroom.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw a puff of black air emanating from the ground, suspended in the air like a black cloud. After seeing Lin Xuece, he immediately turned around and got into the shower head, disappearing into the water pipe.

Lin Xuece walked to the window, looked down the outdoor water pipe, and finally stopped at the pool at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"Xue Ce, what's wrong?" The little pearl bird came over and asked.

Lin Xuece recounted the situation just now: "Let's go to the reservoir to have a look."

The cubs all listened to Lin Xuece, so naturally they had no objection.

Lin Xuece looked at Minghe, and Minghe nodded to him, took his hand and went downstairs together, taking advantage of the night to walk towards the reservoir.

The reservoir is formed by the confluence of mountain springs, passing through various rural towns, and finally forming a huge pool at the foot of the mountain.

The name of Tanping Town comes from this water pool.

In fact, Lin Xuece has been suspicious of the reservoir ever since he found the traces in the afternoon.

At that time, the police officers were accompanying him. With insufficient clues, Lin Xuece had no choice but to hold back.

Now that everything was pointing to the water pool, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately brought Zai Zai down to investigate.

For Lin Xuece, the only concern is the safety of the cubs, but fortunately, Styx is protecting him, so he has no worries.

There are mountains and forests near the water pool. It is quiet during the day, and occasionally there are insects and birds, which is very pleasant. The green water pool is like a huge emerald gem, embedded in the mountains, deep and quiet.

However, at night, it was a different scene.

There are ordinary villages nearby, and there is no nightlife at night. In the absence of human activities, it stands to reason that there should be many insects and animals hunting at night.

However, Lin Xuece and others walked all the way down, surrounded by dead silence, the bustling and peaceful appearance during the day was just like an illusion, and it only revealed its true face as night fell.

The water pool is located in the col, which is in a completely different direction from the way down the mountain.

Because of the steepness and danger, few people walk in this direction on weekdays. Lin Xuece and others seem to be walking in the wild mountains, opening up roads while walking.

The pitch-black yin qi lingered like a cloud, drifting to everyone's side little by little. Although it couldn't get into their skin, from a distance, it seemed that everyone was wrapped in a black cloud.

Lin Xuece walked, taking a few steps slower, and after the cubs around walked by, he took a look at the ground.

With so many people walking, there are naturally traces of many people trampled on the ground.

I saw a lot of black yin energy hidden in those traces, corroding the plants under the traces at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just two seconds, the plants were completely corroded as if they had been exposed to sulfuric acid. There was no doubt that it was impossible to grow plants here in the short term, and the traces would be completely preserved.

It turns out that the traces that can last for a long time appear in this way.

When they came here during the day, the traces didn't last long, but at night they did.

Doesn't that mean that the black mist has already issued an early warning and will leave them all behind tonight?

The further you go down, the heavier the yin around you.

When it reached the vicinity of the reservoir, the content of Yin Qi reached its peak, floating thickly above the reservoir, wriggling slowly like a living thing.

And on the shore, at the most conspicuous place, there was a small boat parked. It seemed that someone had expected that they would come near the reservoir in the dark and had prepared a boat for them in advance.

It's just that there are dozens of people who came this time, and it seems that this small boat can only seat two people at most.

Rejecting the cubs' proposal to explore the way, Lin Xuece made the deployment as soon as possible.

Although the reservoir is large, there are also many of them, and all of them are extraordinary people.

Lin Xuece immediately decided to scatter all the cubs around the reservoir, forming a ring around the reservoir.

The distance between each cub is no more than 50 meters. Once one of them has an accident, the cubs on the left and right can rush to rescue and warn at the first time.

After all the cubs form a circle, they face the center of the reservoir. When necessary, they can encircle and suppress unknown creatures in the reservoir.

In this way, the most suitable people to take a boat are naturally only Lin Xuece and Styx.

Many Zai Zai disagreed with such an arrangement.

After all, everyone can see that the most dangerous thing is underwater.

People on the shore can take care of each other, while those who enter the reservoir by boat stay away from the shore. If there is an accident, it may be too late to return.

However, Lin Xuece, who was always talkative, showed unprecedented toughness at this moment, and made a decision directly without even asking Styx's opinion.

In desperation, the cubs had no choice but to obey orders, while Lin Xuece and Styx walked towards the boat together.

As soon as I sat on it, the boat drifted towards the center with the current.

The more you go to the center, the lower the surrounding temperature is, and the yin air is so heavy that it seems that water can be wrung out. Suddenly, people have the illusion that the water and the water are integrated.

As the demon king, Lin Xuece couldn't get close to him, but he still felt a little cold.

He unconsciously lowered his head and rubbed his arms, but the end of his eyes was swept under the water, and a pale floating corpse was floating beside the boat.

His body was swollen and decayed, and his hands rested on the bottom of the boat, as if he was pushing the boat forward.

Half of the flesh on his face was rotten, leaving only one eyeball staring at Lin Xuece.

The floating corpse is none other than Lin Guohua!

No matter how courageous Lin Xuece is, when he suddenly saw Lin Guohua like this, he trembled all over.

Styx next to him immediately supported him.

Styx's body temperature was lower than the surrounding Yin Qi, but it was not bone-piercing. Instead, he felt a cool and refreshing feeling when leaning against him.

Lin Xuece leaned against Styx and looked around the boat.

I saw a circle of corpses at the bottom of the boat, all pushing the boat to swim towards the center.

In addition to Lin Guohua, Lin Xuece also saw Zheng Meiling and some strangers he didn't know, who must have been victims of falling into the reservoir before.

The only consolation is that there is no Wu Gui, nor the three monster cubs who disappeared with Wu Gui.

The closer to the center, the more and more corpses, and gradually, the boat didn't seem to be swimming on the water, but seemed to be interspersed among the corpses.

Under the surface of the water, there were countless corpses piled on top of each other. They raised their heads together and stared at Lin Xuece intently with wide eyes, as if seeing the most delicious food in the world, full of greed and desire.

"Don't be afraid, they can't do much." Styx said in Lin Xuece's ear.

Lin Xuece looked at Styx's calm expression, and nodded slightly.

The boat kept "swimming" towards the center, during which the black mist turned into a tornado several times, and people at the bottom also stretched out their hands, as if they were grabbing for life-saving straws, and grabbed Lin Xuece.

The boat wobbled and was almost capsized, but Lin Xuece and Minghe saved them all.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the center of the reservoir.

At the core of the dragon roll powder, all the black mist turned into a cocoon like silk, wrapping a person layer by layer.

The black mist here seems to have been condensed, not only cold, but also exudes an incomparable stench, which is more terrifying than sulfuric acid.

If Lin Xuece was alone at this time, he would have to rely on the strength of the surrounding cubs to break open the cocoon.

However, with Styx at the side, he stepped forward, and with just a tap of his finger, it was like an invisible sharp knife cutting upwards, exposing the person hiding in the cocoon almost instantly.

The cocoon was opened, and the wrapped person slowly opened his eyes and woke up. His skin was pale and bluish. In stark contrast, his eyes were like black holes.

It was none other than Lin Qingtian.

However, although he has Lin Qingtian's body, the expression on his face is completely different from the old Lin Qingtian.

Seeing Lin Xuece and Minghe standing in front of him together, "Lin Qingtian" raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing a satisfied smile on his face.

"The moment I've been waiting for is finally here."

Lin Qingtian spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and strange, completely different from his original tone.

If they just listened to the voice and didn't look at the person, they might think that the person standing in front of them at this moment was a shriveled and gloomy old man speaking.

Lin Xuece stared at "Lin Qingtian", and slowly said: "You are... Daoist Jingping?"

"Lin Qingtian" looked at Lin Xuece and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You actually know me?"

Lin Xuece said: "I have admired your name for a long time."

As early as a few months ago, Lin Xuece heard the name "Daoist Jingping" when he first came into contact with Zhong Qingling and Zhong Yuan.

Although Lin Xuece has never been in contact with Daoist Jingping, this name has been interspersed in his life, and he and all the monster cubs are inextricably linked.

It's just that he didn't expect that the relationship between Taoist Jingping and Lin Qingtian's family was so close.

Looking back on the past, the idea of ​​bringing Lin Xuece back to the Lin family to protect Lin Qingtian from disasters was probably related to Taoist Jingping.

The three members of the Lin family have cooperated with Daoist Jingping for decades, and deliberately adopted Lin Xuece for Lin Qingtian's so-called "big luck", which almost ruined Lin Xuece's life.

In the end, they didn't wait for the legendary wealth, but died quietly and tragically in the reservoir of Tanping Town.

Lin Guohua and Zheng Meiling became underwater floating corpses, but Lin Qingtian, who had been placed with high hopes, was even more miserable, even his body was occupied by others.

Taoist Master Jing Ping said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me like this. I never like to force things. Since you agreed to cooperate with me, get my advice, and receive my benefits, you must be prepared to pay the price." .”

He said, looking down at Lin Qingtian's body.

As early as the first time he saw Lin Qingtian, Daoist Jing Ping noticed Lin Qingtian's extraordinaryness at a glance.

Such a young body with great luck is most suitable for his parasitic cultivation.

In order for Lin Qingtian to grow up safely, he even personally figured out a perfect substitute for Lin Qingtian, and instructed the Lin family to adopt Lin Xuece and raise Lin Qingtian well.

Over the years, he has kept in touch with Zheng Meiling, waiting for his spare body to grow into perfect form.

As of last year, everything was fine.

It wasn't until last year that Lin Xuece, who was supposed to be sacrificed, suddenly rose to prominence, luck was on his side, but the Lin family gradually declined.

Not only did the backers fall one by one, and they continued to suffer bad luck. A few months ago, they even failed their business directly, lost a lot of money, and became in debt.

At this point, they were still not satisfied, so they approached Taoist Master Jingping, hoping to make a comeback.

Taoist Master Jing Ping saw that the Lin family had become like this, and if he continued to delay, his luck would be completely lost.

With the idea of ​​using waste, Taoist Jingping immediately directed them to Tanping Town, his old nest, and sent them on the road while the luck of the three was still alive.

Lin Qingtian's body is naturally used to its full potential.

How can a fool like Lin Qingtian enjoy such a good thing as great luck? All of this should be enjoyed by him.

"I've helped you a lot. If it weren't for me, would you have found the alien races scattered all over the place so quickly?" Daoist Jing Ping scanned the monster races around the reservoir, and said with a smile to Lin Xuece: "Without me, I have established it for many years." It is impossible for these alien races to appear in front of you in such a short period of time, I don’t believe you have never doubted it, but you still choose to accept it, right?”

Lin Xuece said: "You set up a trap just to lure me here, where is Wu Gui?"

"You are wrong, my target is not you." Daoist Jing Ping laughed, and turned to look at the silent Styx, "This Tanping Town is the place where I cultivated in the early years, and the reservoir contains half of my life. Cultivation level, pure yin qi, is highly poisonous to others, but it is a great tonic for people like us who practice the ghost way, and it only needs to be breathed out a little, and all of it can be inhaled into the body."

"Friends of Daoist determination, I have been in Tanping Town for so long, and the delicious food is in front of me, and I don't accept it at all."

From a long time ago, Lin Xuece began to be wary of Taoist Jingping.

In the past few months, a large number of monster cubs have appeared frequently against the norm, and they all returned to him easily. Lin Xuece was even more prepared for the storm.

Wu Gui disappeared, he wanted to go to Tanping Town alone, and also wanted to keep everyone in a safe place, so he came to meet the mysterious person behind the scenes.

Just considering that it might not be a good thing for the Yaozu cubs to leave him, he finally adopted Styx and everyone's suggestions.

As soon as he entered Tanping Town, Lin Xuece noticed a lot of suspicious things. The other party was almost on the table, waiting for Lin Xuece to take the bait.

Lin Xuece was ready for a fierce battle, but he never expected that the opponent's target was not him, but Styx? !
