"How many days will you be staying here?" Linlong asked.
"I'm just going to walk around with Apothecary Jian. I don't know how many days I'll be staying," Zhang Shi said with a smile.
"I'd like to make a request. Are you willing?" Linlong asked.
"Of course I'm willing. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse," Zhang Shi said without hesitation.
Since Apothecary Jian thought so highly of Linlong, Linlong would definitely have a bright future as an alchemist. Since alchemists were so rare, Zhang Shi wouldn't mind building a relationship with Linlong. Naturally, he agreed without hesitation.
"I'd like Zhang Shi to be my guard for a few days. What do you think?" Linlong smiled.
"Of course I won't refuse. But Brother Lin, who did you offend?" Zhang Shi asked.
"Brother Lin, you've been in the limelight recently. There are many people who can't stand it. Although you might not have offended anyone on the surface, it's possible that you've harmed others in secret. So, it's not surprising that someone wants to deal with you," Jian Lan said.
"Brother Zhang, you have to think it through," Linlong said.
"Brother Lin, do you think I'm afraid? You'll naturally be the one to bring this up. I'll naturally do it, "Zhang Shi said with wide eyes.
"Alright. Since Brother Zhang is so straightforward, if I don't promise you some benefits, wouldn't I be letting you down? I'm sure you won't be interested in ordinary pills. In that case, I promise you that you can make three requests from me in the future. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do it, "Linlong said solemnly.
"Haha, Brother Lin, you're too kind." Zhang Shi laughed.
In his opinion, it was enough to build a relationship with Linlong. As for the three requests, he didn't really care.
If Zhang Shi knew that Linlong had once been Emperor Wu, he would definitely be happier than he was now.
"To be honest, Brother Zhang, I found someone following me in the market. That's why I came to ask for your help," Linlong said.
"How's the person?" Zhang Shi asked.
"He's definitely a Tier Nine Martial Master or higher."
"He's that strong?" Zhang Shi and the others couldn't help but become cautious.
"Do you want me to call a few more people to escort you back to the Lin family?" Jian Lan and Zuo Han asked.
"There's no need for that. It's easy to alert the enemy with too many people." Linlong shook his head.
"What if there are too many powerful people?" Zuo Han asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. I have a plan," Lin Long said confidently.
Linlong's powerful Spiritual Force allowed him to easily detect the enemy's movements, so he naturally did not have to worry about being surrounded and attacked by powerful opponents.
Seeing that Linlong had a card up his sleeve, Jian Lan, Zuo Han, and the others were a little worried, but they did not say anything. Instead, they told him to be careful.
After receiving the protection of an expert like Zhang Shi, Lin Long quickly left the market. Of course, Zhang Shi did not follow Lin Long. Instead, he followed Lin Long from afar. He could not even see Lin Long. Only after receiving Lin Long's signal would he rush over to help Lin Long.
Lin Long didn't even tell Zhang Zhi and Little Butterfly about this because he didn't want to alert them.
Not long after leaving the market, Lin Long used his powerful Spiritual Force to sense that the other party was following behind him. There was a total of three people and they were all at least at the first level of the Martial Master realm.
The most powerful person was actually the person who had been secretly observing him in the market.
It seemed like the other party had put in a lot of effort to deal with me. Lin Long sneered in his heart.
Lin Long also estimated that the other party would not have any ambushes in front of them. After all, these three experts were enough to deal with him and Zhang Zhi.
Therefore, in order not to alert them, Lin Long did not choose to take a detour. Instead, he walked on the path that he had always been on.
The other party could not have launched such a sneak attack near the market. Therefore, they had been following Lin Long and the others closely along the way.
Only when Lin Long and the others entered a barren mountain did they slowly approach Lin Long and the others.
As they were powerful and had good tracking skills, Zhang Zhi, who was also quite powerful, did not notice any danger.
However, the three people following them did not know that their whereabouts had already been exposed.
Not far behind them, Zhang Shi was following them closely.
Actually, Zhang Shi did not notice that there were three people following them at the beginning. He only realized this when they entered the barren mountain. The reason for this was because the most powerful person was too good at hiding his tracks. Zhang Shi did not notice him at all.
At this moment, Zhang Shi could not help but admire Lin Long's wit. If he had not listened to Lin Long and distanced himself from them, he would have been discovered by the three people long ago.
This discovery made Zhang Shi extremely shocked, because in his opinion, the combined strength of these three people far surpassed them. Even though he could barely hold back the strongest person, the other two, Lin Long and Zhang Zhi, were very difficult to deal with.
Zhang Zhi was naturally easy to deal with. The weak link was Lin Long. After all, the other party was an expert above the Martial Master realm.
However, things had already come to this. Zhang Shi could only bite the bullet and follow them.
Swoosh …
It was also at this moment that a crisp whistle rang out.
This whistle was the signal that Lin Long and Zhang Shi had agreed on to attack. When Zhang Shi heard it, he was obviously a little stunned. He did not expect Lin Long to want to make the first move at this time.
He used his eyesight to look in Lin Long's direction and was stunned again. This was because at this moment, Lin Long suddenly raised his hand and a large amount of white mist flew towards the three people who had been following Lin Long.
At this moment, the wind happened to be blowing in his direction. Therefore, this large amount of powder was just enough to cover the area where the three people were.
Although he did not know what this powder was, Zhang Shi could clearly see that it had affected the three people. Other than the most powerful person who continued to chase after Lin Long, who suddenly sprinted with Zhang Zhi and the others after scattering the powder, the other two people stopped.
This was a completely good opportunity to sneak attack the two people. Seeing this situation, Zhang Shi could not help but feel his heart beat faster.
Originally, when the three of them were together, Zhang Shi had no way to sneak attack them at all. Now, it was different. Moreover, the two people behind them were not together because of the powder.
How could Zhang Shi let go of such an opportunity? He exerted force on his feet and directly rushed towards one of the two people.
The powder that Linlong scattered was naturally an extremely powerful hallucinogenic drug. However, under such circumstances, it was impossible to knock out the enemy directly. Its only function was to separate them and slow down their attacks, so that Zhang Shi, who was behind them, could seize the opportunity.
