"Big Brother Guo," Linlong called out in a low voice as he walked to Guo Fa's side.
Guo Fa turned his head and saw Lin Long. "So it's brother Lin."
Then, he said, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry for not being able to help you deal with Zhu Xian and the rest."
"Big Brother Guo, don't say that. Even if I was in that situation, I wouldn't have helped. After all, you're not familiar with me, and Zhu Xian and the rest are so strong," Linlong said with a smile.
"Ahem, that's true," Guo Fa said awkwardly.
"Big Brother Guo, do you know how to remove the blood essence from the runic stone sword?" Linlong asked in a low voice.
"What?" Guo Fa couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Linlong's words. He quickly looked around and saw that there was no one around. "Could it be that Yang Yun was really killed by Brother Lin?"
Linlong was able to buy the Woodgrain Steps as soon as he entered the Stone Wood World. Now, he even had the runic stone sword. Moreover, he had to remove the blood essence from it. Naturally, he was sure that Yang Yun was killed by Linlong.
"This … I don't know …" Linlong said.
He naturally wouldn't say it out loud.
If he didn't trust Guo Fa, he would have directly denied it.
"Brother Lin, don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Moreover, Yang Yun deserved his death," Guo Fa said coldly.
Without waiting for Linlong's reply, he continued, "Brother Lin, I don't know how to remove the blood essence from the runic stone sword. Moreover, most people in the campsite don't know how to do it. Even Fang Liang doesn't know how to do it."
"Then who knows?" Linlong couldn't help but furrow his brows when he heard Guo Fa's words.
"I know someone who knows, but I don't know if he's willing to help Brother Lin … But Brother Lin, don't worry. He won't reveal your secret," Guo Fa said.
"Since that's the case, let's give it a try," Linlong immediately said.
"Brother Lin, follow me," Guo Fa said. After saying that, he walked out of the library. As for Linlong, he naturally followed behind him.
Not long after, Linlong followed Guo Fa to a house in the east.
"That person is here," Guo Fa said.
After turning left and right for a while, the two arrived in front of a wooden house.
Guo Fa stepped forward and knocked on the door. A moment later, the wooden door opened, revealing a cold face.
This was an old man who looked to be in his fifties.
Although there were many young people in the Stonewood World's camp, there were also some elderly people.
The reason for this situation was that some people only entered the Grey Cloud Rune Institute at an advanced age to study. Some people were even more outrageous. They stayed in the Rune Institute for decades without any progress.
The old man in front of him probably belonged to one of those two situations, so Linlong was not surprised.
"Uncle Hu, I have a friend that needs your help," Guo Fa said to the old man.
"Oh, let's talk inside," said the old man. After saying that, he opened the door and Linlong and Guo Fa immediately walked in.
After sitting down, Guo Fa went straight to the point. "Uncle Hu, this friend of mine wants you to remove the Blood Essence on the Runic Stone Sword."
After a short pause, he added, "Uncle Hu, don't worry. He won't leak this kind of thing."
"That's fine." Uncle Hu nodded, then changed the topic, "However, I need two thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones."
Two thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones! Linlong's face twitched. He had already spent the remaining Mysterious Crystal Stones on him, which meant that he was now penniless.
Moreover, he felt that it was a scam. A new Runic Stone Sword only cost five thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones, but Uncle Hu wanted two thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones just to remove the Blood Essence.
"This matter has some risks, so I hope that little brother can understand." Uncle Hu seemed to have seen through Linlong's thoughts.
Guo Fa hurriedly said, "Uncle Hu, my friend has just entered the Stonewood World and doesn't have many Mysterious Crystal Stones on him. Can you give him a little less?"
"No." Uncle Hu shook his head.
"Then, I can only earn some Mysterious Crystal Stones before coming back." Linlong smiled bitterly.
"Brother Lin, I want to help, but I can't. The Mysterious Crystal Stones that I've accumulated have basically been used up. Otherwise, I could help you," said Guo Fa.
"That's fine." Linlong could not help but smile.
At this moment, Uncle Hu suddenly said, "It's fine if you don't want the Mysterious Crystal Stones, as long as you can get a Black Ink Stone."
"Black Ink Stone? What is that?" Linlong asked doubtfully.
Although he had read many books recently, he had never seen these four words.
"This Black Ink Stone is even harder to find," Guo Fa could not help but say.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, it's either two thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones or a Black Ink Stone," said Uncle Hu.
"Then you can only think of a way, Brother Lin," Guo Fa said helplessly.
Then, he explained on Linlong's behalf, "This Black Ink Stone is a kind of black palm-sized stone. It's square, and its surface is as black as ink …"
"That's it." Before Guo Fa finished speaking, Uncle Hu had already taken out a black stone that was as black as ink. It was indeed the size of a palm, and it was square.
"What's the use of this stone?" Linlong asked curiously.
"I'm not too sure. I only know that it's very, very hard to find," said Guo Fa.
"I don't have time to explain it to you," Uncle Hu said.
"Alright then, I'll try to find two thousand Mysterious Crystal Stones," Linlong immediately said.
As for this Black Ink Stone, since Guo Fa said it was so hard to find, he naturally did not have any thoughts about it.
After that, the two left the place.
"Brother Lin, I really can't help you," said Guo Fa after coming out.
It seemed that he had been blaming himself for not being able to help Linlong deal with Zhu Xian and the others.
"Big Brother Guo, don't worry. I'll spend some time to earn it." Linlong smiled slightly.
"Then you can only rely on your own efforts." Guo Fa nodded.
After a slight pause, he said, "Why don't you come with us to hunt fierce beasts? It'll be faster than earning Mysterious Crystal Stones by yourself."
"En, I'll think about it." Linlong nodded.
Although that was what he said, Linlong naturally did not consider going with Guo Fa and the others. Going with them was far better than earning Mysterious Crystal Stones by himself.
Guo Fa also did not say anything else and took his leave.
After Guo Fa left, Linlong directly walked out of the camp. He still chose to go to the north side of the camp.
When he arrived at the north gate of the camp, he frowned because he realized that someone was staring at him. Needless to say, it was either Zhu Xian's group or Meng Han's group. It was very likely that they had already joined forces.
"Woof, woof, woof …"
At this moment, a black wolfhound suddenly rushed out from behind a stone tablet and barked at him.
This wolfhound was obviously a fierce beast, but since it could appear here, it must have been raised by someone.
There were two possibilities for this to happen. One was that this wolfhound came into contact with its owner when it was born. This way, even if it grew up to become stronger and had the vicious nature of a fierce beast, it would not betray its owner.
The other reason was that this wolfhound was injured and was saved by someone. After it recovered, it treated the person who saved it as its owner and was willing to listen to its owner.
Linlong subconsciously took a step back. This wolfhound was not weak. It had the strength of a level-2 fierce beast.
"Come back!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind the wolfhound. It was a person who also walked out from the same direction.
This person looked to be in his thirties and had a runic stone sword hanging on his waist.
Hearing this voice, the wolfhound stopped and turned to walk to the person's side.
The person looked at Linlong expressionlessly and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to the side with the wolfhound.
Linlong frowned and continued to walk out.
Once he was out, he quickened his pace and walked forward.
Behind him, people quickly followed. This was still outside the camp, so these people naturally would not make a move so quickly. They would wait until they were a little further away before making a move.
After turning a corner, Linlong directly sped up and used his Wood Grain Steps.
Seeing him rush forward, the people behind him naturally chased even faster.
What made Linlong frown was that there were many people following him. Clearly, Zhu Xian and Meng Han's people were here.
Linlong even increased his speed to the limit. If these people caught up to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, there were many trees here, so it was easy to hide. After using the Wood Grain Steps, Linlong quickly left them behind.
How did this kid disappear in an instant?! Zhu Xian, Meng Han, and the others, who were following closely, naturally had ugly expressions.
Due to the large number of trees, they did not see Linlong use the Wood Grain Steps. Otherwise, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
"Senior brother Zhu Xian, what should we do?" This situation made Meng Han frown.
He had originally planned to give Linlong a beating as soon as he caught up to let Linlong know the price of offending him. Who would have thought that with so many people and an expert like Zhu Xian, they would still lose him?
"Let's search the vicinity for a while." Zhu Xian frowned.
He could not wait to catch Linlong immediately, so he was naturally unwilling to give up just like that.
The group immediately began to search for Linlong in the vicinity.
Linlong originally wanted to leave directly, but when he saw that Zhu Xian and the others had also split up to search, his heart naturally burned with passion.
He naturally wanted to teach Meng Han and the others a lesson.
Moreover, Meng Han was alone with him, and not with Zhu Xian and the others with the runic stone sword. This naturally gave him a chance.
Such an opportunity would not come again if he missed it, so Linlong would not leave immediately.
After these people were far away from each other, Linlong directly chased after Meng Han and the other person. He wanted to succeed in one strike.
As this place was close to the campsite, there were very few fierce beasts. Linlong wanted to use the previous method of letting Meng Han and the other person deal with the fierce beasts while he launched a sneak attack, but it was very difficult.
Therefore, he decided to use a direct sneak attack.
This was naturally because his Dantian Record's aura-concealing ability was still useful. Otherwise, he would not have dared to carry out such an attempt.
His current aura-concealing ability was naturally the same as his Spiritual Force. It was not as strong as his external appearance, but it was still useful.
If he wanted to launch a sneak attack like this, he would definitely have to wait in front of the two people. Therefore, at the beginning, Linlong first took a big detour and quickly arrived in front of the two people.
Using his powerful Spiritual Force, he was sure that the two people were not far in front of him.
What made him happy was that Meng Han and the other person happened to walk right in front of him, so he did not even need to change his position.
"That brat really knows how to dodge!" The person beside Meng Han criticized silently.
"Be serious, don't talk." Meng Han frowned.
That person did not dare to say anything else. He obediently walked while searching.
Soon, they arrived in front of Linlong. At this time, the other person walked in front while Meng Han walked behind. The reason why the two of them were so close was because they were afraid that they would be ambushed and the other person would not be able to save them in time.
They did not expect that Linlong would be able to deal with the two of them with one sword.
After confirming that they were within his attack range, Linlong made his move. He directly swept his sword toward the two people.
The person who was closer was the first to be hit. With a scream, he directly held his chest and retreated. At the same time, Linlong's sword Qi had already slashed across Meng Han's chest.
The reason why Linlong was able to succeed so easily was that the two people did not expect Linlong to carry out such a silent sneak attack.
After the sword Qi slashed across, Linlong's expression changed slightly. This was because he realized that there was a flash of runes on Meng Han's body. Then, an invisible energy directly blocked most of his sword Qi. Only a small portion of the sword Qi affected Meng Han's body.
Linlong could tell at a glance that Meng Han had something like the stone-patterned robe on him. Otherwise, it would definitely not have such an effect.
This sword naturally did not kill Meng Han, but Meng Han was still attacked and retreated.
Linlong naturally would not pursue and attack fiercely because he knew that the other party had the stone-patterned robe on him. This was because he was not confident that he could kill Meng Han while the others rushed over to support him.
After all, Meng Han could also use the wooden rune sword. He was not much stronger than the other party.
Therefore, he directly turned around and fled.
After suffering a huge loss, Meng Han, who was slightly injured, naturally did not dare to pursue and just watched Linlong leave.
Not long after, Zhu Xian rushed over with the others.
Seeing that the other person was dead and Meng Han was also injured, Zhu Xian naturally knew that he and the others had been played by Linlong again.
However, this time was different. Meng Han and the others were obviously not distracted by any ferocious beasts. Hence, he hurriedly asked, "How could that kid sneak attack you?"
"That kid hid in front like a rock. We could not detect his presence at all. When we got close, he suddenly attacked and Shen Ming was directly killed by his sword. Fortunately, I have the stone-patterned robe on me. Otherwise, I would have died in his hands," Meng Han said with an ugly expression.
"That kid can actually hide so well," Zhu Xian said in surprise.
He only thought that Meng Han and Shen Ming were not paying attention. Who would have thought that Linlong had the ability to conceal his aura?
"Looks like we can only swarm him the moment he leaves the camp next time!" Someone at the side said coldly.
"That's a good idea." Zhu Xian nodded.
"Senior Brother Zhu Xian, can you let that wolf dog help us? With its sense of smell, even if Lin Li can hide in a place like this, he will definitely be found!" Meng Han said.
