Chapter 297: Theft
The Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle, alternating between black and white, floated silently at the top of the black pillar. Compared to the other elixirs emitting incredible elixir energy, this elixir seemed extremely tranquil. Not even a hint of elixir energy could be felt in it, nor the aroma of elixir. It looked like a simple round stone in black and white.
This elixir before them surely was what the Herb Master and Xiao Diao had been tirelessly searching for, the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle that Lin Yan and the others had sought so hard!
"Have we finally found the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle? Well, well, well! It seems the old man doesn't have much time left to rebuild his body. Ha, ha, ha!" The Herb Master's voice suddenly resonated from Lin Yan's storage ring.
Xiao Diao inside Lin Dong's body, upon seeing the black and white round stone, widened his eyes and said, "Is that... the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle? Awesome! That's definitely the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle! Ha, ha, ha! I'll finally be able to reclaim my body!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong shone with excitement and prepared to approach and take the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle.
But just as Lin Dong was about to move, Lin Yan stopped him and stared at him intently.
"What's wrong, Brother Lin Yan? What's wrong with the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle?" Lin Dong asked, confused as to why Lin Yan had stopped him and was staring fixedly at the elixir.
"That Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle has a life and death aura, it will emit a life and death aura. Any living being that comes into contact with the life and death aura will be instantly corroded. If we want to obtain this elixir, we have to deactivate that life and death aura. But deactivating that elixir is difficult. Even I would need a lot of time," Lin Yan said, his eyes fixed on the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle.
"Why don't you help them, Little Yan, while we take care of the situation?" Lin Dong suggested, turning to Lin Yan.
"That's right! Little Yan, we'll assist you while you work on that," Lin Dong said, nodding.
Before the words finished, a voice was heard from behind them: "Ha, ha, why is it so lively here?" Suddenly, the sound of the wind broke, a soft laughter floated from afar, and finally landed not far from the black pillar.
His eyes fell on Lin Yan at that moment, and a curve of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face: "No wonder the Four Great Sects' alchemy field even has this kind of elixir..."
The man who suddenly appeared wore a flashy red robe. Vaguely, there seemed to be a slight smell of blood wafting over him, making it clear that this guy, though he seemed friendly, was not a good person.
Behind the man in the red robe, another man saw the person who suddenly appeared, and his face suddenly changed, exclaiming in surprise, "Tian Zhen, the Wild Wolf?"
Seeing this man calling him that, Lin Dong thought that this guy definitely had something terrifying about him. Tian Zhen the Wild Wolf looked at the man who exclaimed in surprise and said with a friendly smile, "Ha, ha, so you're from the Northern Desert Dynasty..."
In that smile, the members of the Northern Desert Dynasty felt a touch of coldness. They deeply knew that, although Tian Zhen seemed friendly, he was actually extremely brutal and cruel. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of Wild Wolf.
Moreover, Lin Dong could clearly feel in this guy that his energy was not inferior to that of the man in the green robe. But that wasn't enough for Lin Dong to feel fear.
As they spoke, suddenly a powerful energy surged towards them, causing fear in everyone present. At that moment, several figures dressed in black slid towards them and stood on a pillar, staring at the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle.
Then, with a slight smile on his mouth, he murmured to himself, "Ha, isn't this Lin Yan? What a coincidence to meet you here. But since you're solving the Life and Death Ring, I won't be courteous. I can't let this great opportunity pass in vain."
"Three... Three Nirvana Stages!?"
In the group of people, a surprised cry suddenly rang out, and the man who was on the pillar looked at the people below him and then said with a calm smile, "Don't worry, my goal is only the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle. I think we can collaborate. After all, I only want the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle as a reward. I don't want anything else."
These words surprised not only others, but especially Lin Dong. He didn't expect this newcomer to try to recruit their group to steal the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle.
The group of people agreed to collaborate with these men in black. After all, they didn't need the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle, and if they didn't defeat Lin Yan, with his personality, they wouldn't have any chance of getting anything.
One of the men in black smiled slightly and said, "Alright, brothers, let's go! Let's first defeat the guy next to the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle!" Then, they moved towards Lin Yan.
"I said if you want the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle, you'll have to go through us first," shouted Lin Dong and Lin Yan when they saw this group of people trying to steal the Elixir of the Life and Death Cycle. But some of them stayed to fight against Lin Dong and the others, while others headed towards Lin Yan.
"Nine-Colored Rainbow Dragon Slash!"
And as one of the men in black was about to reach Lin Yan, Little Rainbow shouted and launched a burst of cutting energy with its tail, cutting the hand of the man in black.
Then he said coldly, "My master said he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone..."
