Chen Lin ignored Lao Dao's threat.

The other party was afraid that he had been stuck here for too long and had a brain problem, so he said such childish words.

The more this happens, the harder it is for him to trust him.

However, Chen Lin didn't say anything sarcastic.

Although the other party's request is unreliable, you can still make use of it to buy time to move forward by making concessions with the other party.

Otherwise he would definitely not be quick enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin pretended to mutter: "If the Taoist wants me to believe you, you have to have an explanation. How about this? As long as you swear by the Taoist spell that you will never frame me, then I will agree to work with you."

cooperate."

"Can I swear an oath? That's okay."

The old Taoist readily agreed.

Then he used the Taoist sect's unique incantation and swore an oath of greatness.

He also did not ask Chen Lin to swear an oath together, and seemed not to take Chen Lin seriously.

"Okay, since the Taoist priest is so sincere, I will believe you for once. Just wait for me before the last node!"

Chen Lin expressed great joy.

After a pause, he sent another message: "However, with my ability, it is a bit difficult to reach the last node. Is there any way, Taoist Master, to help me?"

"You can only rely on yourself for this."

The old Taoist refused very simply.

Then he said: "If you can't even reach the last node, there is no need for us to cooperate, and there is no possibility of successfully escaping from here."

"The Taoist priest is right."

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Chen Lin didn't force it. He was content if he could keep the opponent from entering the light group in advance.

Next, keep moving forward.

With enough time, he became more cautious and took every step steadily, but he did not encounter much danger again.

Chen Lin discovered that these nodes are actually traceable.

There is a relatively safe route from the starting point to the end point, but it is just because the lines are too complicated that I cannot find the best choice in a hurry, so I often encounter dangers.

Now that I feel relaxed, I can observe it.

Although there was still danger, Ni Lin could warn him in advance and give him a chance to react, so the journey was relatively smooth.

In order not to reveal his trump card, Chen Lin used his destiny tentacle to pick off a fish scale from another part and attached it to the reverse scale.

So as not to be seen by the old man.

This reverse scale is his trump card. Hidden, it may have unexpected effects at critical moments.

The other side.

The big fish transformed by Lao Dao is faster.

He seems to know the situation here very well, and he takes every step without thinking, but always chooses the best route.

Occasionally encountering danger can be easily resolved.

Moreover, the fish scales on his body can emit a layer of light, as if he is wearing a piece of armor. That kind of gray light attack cannot break the defense at all.

Half an hour later.

The old path detoured around a dense node area and arrived at the last node.

Then he stopped where he was to take some time to observe Chen Lin's movements.

Watching Chen Lin pause step by step, hesitating before every step, his pair of fish eyes could not help but reveal an inexplicable meaning.

Chen Lin is also observing the other party.

Seeing that the other party was reaching the final point so quickly, I couldn't help but feel a shiver in my heart.

If the other party hadn't wanted to cooperate with him, he would have failed the competition and accepted the punishment.

But since the other party is waiting for him, he must be useful in some way. He doesn't have to worry and just continue to move forward according to the plan.

Another two hours passed.

Chen Lin finally completed the crossing of all nodes.

Panting, I came to the last node.

However, his last node is not the same as Lao Dao's. Their fate lines are different and their directions are also different.

"Taoist priest is so fast!"

Chen Lin sensed the colorful light group in front of him and said hello to the old man.

However, there is still a node blocking it, so the perception of the light group is not very clear. I just feel that this light group is extremely mysterious and has an irresistible temptation, making people want to go in and find out.

"It seems you still have some tricks up your sleeve. The law of destiny has been fulfilled, right?"

An experienced voice sounded, and his tone was very calm.

But when he glanced at the chess pieces carried by Chen Lin with his tentacles, a flash of surprise flashed through him.

"The Taoist priest has a sharp eye!"

Chen Lin agreed.

Then he said: "This last node seems to be more dangerous than the previous ones. Does the Taoist priest have any way to deal with it? Or do we need to use chess pieces to resolve it?"

"Just use chess pieces to resolve it!"

The old man answered immediately.

"Depending on your ability, it is impossible to safely cross this last node. This is why I asked you to leave the chess piece at the end."

"Does the Taoist priest have the ability to cross over?"

Chen Lin took a look at the chess pieces on the opponent's body and asked tentatively.

If the other party's chess pieces were not still there, he would have doubted whether the other party was planning on attacking his chess pieces, but now it seemed that they were not.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs. If you have the ability to cross nodes without using chess pieces, then that's up to you."

The old man did not answer directly.

This made Chen Lin even more suspicious.

I don't know where the other party needs his help.

According to the prompts at the beginning, whoever enters the light group first between him and the opponent will win. There is no need for the opponent to wait for him.

Is the other party's mission different from his, or does he have other intentions?

Thinking of this, Chen Lin spoke in a deep voice.

"Should the Taoist Master tell me what to do to ensure safety after entering the light group?"

"Safety?"

The old Taoist made a sarcastic sound.

"You have such a beautiful idea. Who can guarantee absolute safety in this fateful chess game?"

"The chess game of destiny?"

Chen Lin's heart moved and he immediately asked: "But is there someone controlling it?"

"Of course someone is controlling it, but I don't know who exactly. It may just be that the chessboard of fate is running on its own. After all, this is the nightmare world, and nothing can be inferred according to common sense."

Chen Lin seemed to have some understanding after hearing this.

"The destiny chessboard that the Taoist said should be a treasure of destiny. Could it be in this light group?"

"hehe."

The old man laughed.

He said calmly: "That's right. In this light group is the treasure body that forms this destiny chessboard. It's called the destiny chessboard. My purpose is to get it!"

"Then what's in it for me?"

When Chen Lin saw that the other party was so open-minded and revealed his entire purpose, he also asked him bluntly.

"you?"

The old Taoist said matter-of-factly: "You still want benefits? Being able to survive is your greatest benefit!"

"How can the Taoist priest guarantee that I can survive?"

"No guarantee required."

The old man's tone was a little impatient.

But I explained it anyway.
