Xiao Chen nodded and handed the star stone to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took it over and took a closer look: "Why does it seem to be too small?"
"Well, I think this thing is a consumable. If you use it, it will become smaller."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"There is a saying that after giving it to you, you didn't use it?"
Xiao Lin was surprised.
"I thought you used it."
"I haven't used it. I used it on Ziyi, but it wasn't much use."
Xiao Chen said.
"This is what Uncle Qi paid for with his life, how can it be used anymore."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin smiled and looked at the star stone carefully, which was as bright as a star.
"Speaking of it, you really have to pay for it with your life. This is a place where you will escape from death."
"Uncle Qi, tell me about no man's land."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and said.
"What, are you going to no man's land?"
Xiao Lin looked away from the star stone and asked.
"Maybe I won't go for the time being, I just want to know more about it."
Xiao Chen said.
"You have to understand it before you can make plans in advance."
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"But in no man's land, even if I tell you, you still can't make plans... because you still don't understand."
"Why?"
Xiao Chen looked surprised.
"Didn't you go there?"
"Yeah, I've been there, but it's said that in no-man's land, everyone will look different when they go there... Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but it does change frequently! At least, the no-man's land I went to is the same as what they said.
no the same!"
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"No man's land is a place where people almost died, but there are still people who come out alive, and I am just one of them... The news about no man's land is also brought out by people who come out alive, but what everyone says is different."
"Everyone looks different?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised.
"Could it be that you are going to a no-man's land?"
"It's the same one, both in the far west."
Xiao Lin shook his head and said.
"But it is so magical, otherwise it would not have existed for many years. The outside world still knows very little about it, and it is extremely mysterious."
"Could it be a phantom formation?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"Someone has said so, but there are also formation masters who have gone in. As far as I know, there is a formation master from the Zhuge family who has been to the no-man's land."
Xiao Lin said.
"Then what?"
Xiao Chen hurriedly asked, if a formation master from the Zhuge family really had an illusory formation, he should be able to see it or crack it.
"Then? No, he never came out again... he must have died inside."
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of which, it was just my luck that I was able to go in and come out again... If I can go to this place where I narrowly escaped death, in this life, if I come out alive, my life will be considered not in vain."
"Then what does the no-man's land you see look like?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"At the beginning, it was a desolate place with literally no grass growing... Later, it became a vast jungle surrounded by mountains."
Xiao Lin held the star stone and spoke slowly, as if he was reminiscing.
"A desolate place with no grass growing? A vast jungle surrounded by mountains?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. Is there some contradiction in this?
"There is also a very large lake. In that lake... the water is red, like blood."
When Xiao Lin said this, his expression changed several times.
"Thinking about it now, it still makes me feel palpitated..."
"Is it blood?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, but...it feels weird."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"People who came out alive from the Red Lake before have seen it and mentioned it, but other things are not right."
"..."
Listening to Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen also felt a little weird. This no man's land... is not specific, but can also change?
"Uncle Qi, what about the star stone? Where did you get it?"
"I bypassed the Red Lake and continued walking forward. There was a canyon... The Star Stone was what I got in that canyon."
Xiao Lin said.
"Then... what's the danger?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask. Speaking of which, it was just weird, but it was far from the reputation of a narrow escape.
"When I walked to this canyon, I was already seriously injured."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and smiled bitterly.
Immediately, he raised his right arm and pointed at a wound: "Did you see it?"
"Is this... some sort of biting thing?"
Xiao Chen looked at the wound and asked.
"Yes, there is a kind of strange fish in the Red Lake. It has wings and can fly out of the Red Lake... Not only do they have wings, they also have fangs, and they are extremely ferocious. This is what makes the strange fish bite."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Flying fish?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and looked at Xiao Lin's arm again.
"Uncle Qi, are you sure it was bitten by a flying fish? It wasn't some ferocious beast?"
"No, it's just a flying fish."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Have you seen all these flying fish? Are there any old sows that can climb trees?"
Xiao Chen looked at the injury on Xiao Lin's arm again and said half-jokingly.
"have."
Xiao Lin took a sip of water.
"But how did you know?"
"ah?"
Xiao Chen was completely stunned. There was even an old sow climbing a tree? This is no man's land. Is this a strange world?
"I have seen pigs that can climb trees, but I don't know if they are sows."
Xiao Lin corrected him and said.
"There are many animals in that jungle, and they all seem to have mutated, including flying fish, pigs climbing trees, snakes with two heads..."
"Uncle Qi, before I came here, you were bragging and didn't drink?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
Why does he feel that his seventh uncle seems to be too drunk?
How many dishes?
The key is...he didn't see the food either.
"I'm telling you something serious."
Xiao Lin stared, why did you drink?
"Well, no one else would listen to what you said, and it wouldn't sound serious."
Xiao Chen was speechless.
"Do you want to listen? If you don't listen, I won't talk about it. I rarely mention these things."
Xiao Lin was not angry.
"Listen, go on, you were bitten by a fish, and then what? You met a pig climbing a tree? How did it get you?"
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"The pig didn't do anything to me, but the snake... almost killed me."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"Oh? The one with two heads? Is this a deformed snake?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I don't know. I only know that it was extremely poisonous. It bit me, and within a minute, I was paralyzed and fell to the ground..."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"and after?"
Xiao Chen didn't think Xiao Lin would tell lies and lie to him, so he asked hurriedly.
"Later... something like an eagle flew down and killed the two snakes."
Xiao Lin replied.
"Eagle? Okay, what about your poison?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Did that eagle detoxify you?"
"Fart... when I realized something was wrong, I swallowed an antidote pill. It was a holy antidote. Slowly, I regained consciousness."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"The eagle killed the snake, took the snake in its mouth, and left without caring about me."
"Well, if it saves you, I won't think it's normal..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Continuing, how about to the canyon?"
"In the canyon, I heard the sound of a fight."
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.
"Sound of fighting? Is there anyone else?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"I thought there was someone there at first, so I hid my figure and approached... When I got there, I found it was not a person, but a wolf and a leopard, and they were fighting for something."
Xiao Lin said.
"Fighting for something? It won't be the Star Stone, right?"
Xiao Chen guessed.
"Yes, it's the Star Stone."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"The wolf and the leopard are both much bigger than what we usually see. The wolf can breathe fire and the leopard can release lightning. Do you believe it?"
"Believe it, fish can fly, pigs can climb trees... now you say they can talk, I believe it too."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"But Uncle Qi, I have a problem now."
"what is the problem?"
Xiao Lin looked at him.
"You ask."
"Are you going to a no-man's land? Are you going to a zoo?"
Xiao Chen looked strange.
"..."
Xiao Lin was speechless.
"But it makes sense that it's all animals and no one... no man's land."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said again.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to listen?"
Xiao Lin stared.
"Listen, go on, how did this Star Stone fall into your hands? Did you kill both the wolf and the leopard and take the Star Stone?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"No, any one of them is not weaker than me... Even me now, I may not be able to win."
Xiao Lin shook his head and said slowly.
"So strong?"
Xiao Chen was surprised and finally looked serious.
"Yeah, very strong."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Why did the star stone fall into your hands?"
Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"They died together and fell into my hands."
Xiao Lin replied.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, he really didn't expect that it would end like this!
Damn, did you pick up this star stone?
"I went to the no-man's land just for the Star Stone. After I got the Star Stone, I didn't stay longer or go deeper. I left immediately..."
Xiao Lin said.
"To be precise, apart from luck, I restrained my curiosity and greed to save my life."
"Uncle Qi, don't you think about getting something else?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin. It was very difficult to restrain his curiosity and greed.
"I thought about it, but I thought of you."
Xiao Lin said slowly.
"Thinking of me?"
Xiao Chen was startled.
"Yes, I went to the no-man's land for you. If I die in it, who will bring you the Star Stone out? So, I can't die, I have to come out alive...
When Xiao Lin said this, he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Fortunately, I came out alive and gave you the star stone."
"..."
Xiao Chen was moved in his heart, everything was for him.
"I asked before I went in, and I asked after I came out... I probably only went to the outer area. As for the star stones, wolves and leopards brought them from elsewhere, so I say my luck is indeed good."
Xiao Lin smiled and took another sip of tea.
"In other words, you are just lucky. Maybe God knew that I was going there for you, so he sent the Star Stone to me and asked me to take it out."
