Chapter 76 What about chess pieces

The old road is back. This time, Zhong Cheng is not as emotional as last time. He silently walked forward in the long cave leading to Linghu. Because he once drank the pool water called "evil water" in the underworld, Zhong Cheng can also breathe under the water, but the effect of avoiding water is gone.

Through the dark hole, Zhong Cheng came to Linghu. He took a closer look at the current situation of Linghu Lake and was surprised to find that the water plants and vegetation in this Linghu Lake were all dead! And the water of the lake is clear, and you can even clearly see the scenery above the lake when you look up!

This is no longer a spiritual lake. Compared with "spirit lake", "dead lake" may be more suitable as its name.

In this dead lake, Zhong Cheng felt bored in his chest for a second. He stopped and swam towards the lake with his legs.

After coming out of Linghu Lake, Zhong Cheng sat down and rested in a dry place by the lake. The dazzling sunlight made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. But in his heart, he was more happy and thought to himself, "Finally left that damn place!"

He glanced around the spiritual lake and suddenly said, "Huh" and exclaimed, "Where is the body of the shark?"

A breeze brushed, which made Zhong Cheng feel slightly cold. He has been in the cave for more than two months. According to the time, I'm afraid it's summer now. But perhaps due to regional reasons, the breeze here can still make people feel cool.

"I said that shark meat is a good thing. Now it seems that the body of the shark has been taken home and fed to the child by some fierce figures!" The voice of Bauhinia slowly floated out of the Nether Pearl and answered Zhong Cheng's question.

Zhong Cheng was stunned and then asked, "Oh, why did you say that?"

"You observe the ground around and a few spiritual trees near the Linghu Lake, and you will know why I said so."

At the prompt of Bauhinia, Zhong Cheng began to pay attention to the surrounding environment. At this glance, he really found a problem.

I can only see that there are many large and small pits in this circle of open space around Linghu Lake. And some soil still retains relatively significant traces, either horizontally or vertically. Besides, some of the surrounding spiritual trees have fallen, and some are still standing, but there are more marks on the trunk.

After reading all this, Zhong Cheng took a deep breath and muttered, "It seems that there has been a fight here!" Is it worth fighting for the body of a shark?

Bauhinia's voice came out of the Nether Pearl again and answered, "Of course it's worth it. This shark's meat is an elixir. Although it is not a cure for all diseases, it still has the effect of strengthening the body and helping practice. For a godman, in order to get a way to improve the speed of practice, he will not hesitate to fight for his life.

Zhong Cheng raised his chin and snorted coldly: "Hum! Not necessarily. If they really face death, I'm afraid they will still choose to live!"

Bauhinia smiled and said, "So what I said is that I don't hesitate to lose my life. It means that if there is no way to fight, of course they will still choose to live! After all, they are all human beings. It is natural to be afraid of death and greed. Although ** to improve strength is very large, it is not cost-effective to really lose your life for this.

Zhong Cheng stood next to a spiritual tree full of traces, touched the trunk of the spiritual tree with his hand, and suddenly whispered, "I really don't understand. Isn't it good to divide such a big shark equally!" Why do we have to fight?"

"This is the ugliness of human nature! The strong will always get the best! Like you, you have no whites, and you can only rely on your hard work and talent to compete with them! Of course, I will also create the perfect opportunity for you!" There was a chill in the voice of Bauhinia.

Zhong Cheng withdrew his hand and said with a bad smile, "Hey, I remember someone once said that his talent is not good! Why do you rely on talent now?"

Bauhinia took a sip and said, "You really give you some sunshine! Compared with your aunt, your talent is not worth mentioning at all! If it hadn't been for my aunt, could you have reached the position of 'God's order' so quickly?

Zhong Cheng smiled and joked, "Okay, okay! Thank you for your promotion, Lord Bauhinia. Thank you very much!"

"Hey, it's almost the same. Change your clothes quickly and get out of here quickly.

Zhong Cheng changed the set of ordinary coarse cloth gray clothes prepared in the ring. In Zhong Cheng's ring, there have always been several sets of simple clothes, which were prepared by Zhong Cheng when he went to the "Treasure Forest". After all, it is common sense to prepare clothes to change in the wild.

After changing his clothes, the clean feeling made Zhong Cheng feel refreshed. As for the previous suit, it has been abandoned on the ground by Zhong Cheng because it is too dirty and broken.

After changing his clothes, Zhong Cheng went to Linghu, picked up a few handfuls of water, washed his face well, and carefully tied up his hair. In the secret/hole just now, because the light was too dark, Zhong Cheng did not sort it out seriously.

After finishing all the work, Zhong Cheng stroked his chin and looked at himself in the water with satisfaction. Finally, he nodded, stood up and shouted at his chest, "I'm almost ready. Where are I going next?"

The Bauhinia in the Nether Pearl pondered for a while and replied, "I have to think about where to go. Anyway, let's get out of this forest first!"

"Hmm." Zhong Cheng nodded and agreed. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, he put his raised foot back. His eyes became inexplicably melancholy, and then he sighed and looked very sad.

Although the Bauhinia man was in the Nether Pearl, Zhong Cheng's movements were clearly seen by her. She felt strange, so she asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop? Are you not feeling well?"

Zhong Cheng shook his head, looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed for no reason, "I almost forgot that you were going to use me to leave the underworld!"

Bauhinia definitely didn't expect Zhong Cheng to say such a thing at this time, but he lost his mind for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

And Zhong Cheng didn't care about Bauhinia. He continued to take care of himself and continued with emotion and helplessness: "I am a pawn, a pawn that can't determine fate. The stronger I become, the happier you will be, because only then can you leave! In this case, what am I secretly happy about here! That's ridiculous!"

After saying that, Zhong Cheng fell silent, and there was silence around Linghu. This spiritual lake was originally a rare place, and the clock closed its mouth again, so it immediately showed a quiet appearance.

"You are really ridiculous!" A delicate scolding broke the tranquility, and the voice of Bauhinia suddenly burst out from the Nether Pearl. And from the perspective of tone, the current Bauhinia is really angry.

Zhong Cheng lowered his head, expressionless and unresponsive.

Bauhinia's voice then came out: "You said you wanted to practice! I will help you plan everything so that you can get what you want! What's going on now? I want to end it at the beginning! Coward!"

Zhong Cheng still lowered his head and was not excited by words at all.

"Beover, you are very clear: if you want to live on this continent, you must have enough strength as capital! To take a step back, even if you are not for yourself, you should try your best to become stronger for the promise you made to Brother Sword God that day!" Bauhinia spoke sharply and scolded angrily.

Listening to the previous words, Zhong Cheng did not react much. But when he heard the word "Sword God", the corners of his eyes twitched very obviously, moved his lips, and his body began to tremble gently.

These small details are completely seen by Bauhinia. She smiled secretly and knew that these words had worked, so she closed her mouth very wisely.

Aside the quiet Linghu Lake, Zhong Cheng stood silently in place, bowing his head, with a very complicated expression. In his heart, two opposing emotions are fighting intensively.

On the one hand, he is unwilling to be mediocre and does not want to be insulted for no reason; on the other hand, he does not want to be a pawn in the hands of others.

The two conflicts are entangled in his heart. Zhong Cheng only feels that his mind is chaotic and completely confused.

However, at this time, Bauhinia's "commitment to the Sword God" just pulled Zhong Cheng out of the whirlpool of chaos.

"Yes! How can I forget this?"

Thinking like this, Zhong Cheng suddenly grinned and smiled. He looked straight ahead, with a touch of pride on his face, and said softly:

What about chess pieces? Who said that a pawn can't grasp the overall situation? I won't let you control my life!"

After saying that, he strode towards the forest.
