Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 237 - 237 Sleepwalking? Strange Guide

237 Sleepwalking? Strange Guide

Zhao Ziming stood rooted to the ground, swaying. Other than that, he did not do anything else.

Shen Rulin observed for a moment and asked Lin Ran softly, “Is he affected by the evil aura?”

“I’m not sure, but I don’t think so.”

Lin Ran thought for a moment and shook his head. “Anyone affected by the evil aura will have a strong desire to kill and behave aggressively. At least from his current behavior, I don’t sense any danger.”

!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the swaying Zhao Ziming suddenly stabilized and turned to look at Lin Ran and Shen Rulin.

The two of them immediately became vigilant. Shen Rulin drew his sword and asked Lin Ran softly, “Is this considered aggressive?”

Lin Ran didn’t say anything, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

At this moment, Zhao Ziming’s eyes were still closed and he did not emit any dangerous aura. Other than the fact that he was facing the two of them, he did not look dangerous.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ran frowned and said softly, “If the enemy doesn’t move, we won’t.”

The moment Lin Ran finished speaking, Zhao Ziming suddenly jerked. Then, he raised his right foot stiffly and walked towards the two of them!

Lin Ran’s expression changed. “This… Oh!”

“Shut up!”

Shen Rulin covered Lin Ran’s mouth and whispered, “Ever since we went up the mountain, your words haven’t been accurate!”

Lin Ran thought about it and realized that it was true. He immediately looked embarrassed.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ziming was already in front of the two of them, but he continued walking stiffly as if he did not see Lin Ran and Shen Rulin.

The two of them were standing on Zhao Ziming’s path. When they saw this scene, they looked at each other and took half a step back.

Zhao Ziming walked straight past the two of them and continued walking on the gravel stiffly.

Lin Ran frowned and looked at Shen Rulin. “Does he usually sleepwalk?”

Shen Rulin shook his head without thinking. “The Five Elements Imperial Guards don’t even talk in their sleep. Otherwise, they’ll easily leak the secret.”

Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully. “Then he—or the person who controls him—wants to take us somewhere… Why don’t we go and take a look?”

Shen Rulin wanted to refuse, but firstly, he was worried about Zhao Ziming, and secondly, they really had no clue what to do now, so he nodded in the end.

The two of them shortened the rope between them. Then, they quietly followed. However, to Lin Ran and Shen Rulin’s surprise, they walked for more than an hour.

This was mainly because Zhao Ziming’s movements were too stiff, so he walked very slowly. Sometimes, he would fall and couldn’t get back up, so the two of them had to help him up.

Every time this happened, Zhao Ziming would linger on the spot for a few minutes before continuing forward, as if he had lost his way.

During this period, Lin Ran saw a few more illusions.

However, having learned his lesson, Lin Ran did not attack rashly. Instead, he went with Shen Rulin to check. They thought that they could find a few more Golden Guards, but in the end, he realized that it was just an illusion.

After walking slowly for an hour, Shen Rulin was clearly a little impatient. He tugged at the rope and said softly, “We can’t continue like this. Aren’t you very familiar with this place? Can you guess where he wants to go?”

“I can’t. I’ve already tried.”

Lin Ran yawned and said helplessly, “His direction has been changing. When we found him, he was on the north slope, so at first, I thought he was going to the south slope.”

“But just as he was about to reach the south slope, he suddenly changed direction and walked down the mountain. Just as I thought he was going down, he took a diagonal path to the top.”

“This can’t go on.”

Shen Rulin sighed and said seriously, “He’s seriously injured. If we continue, his injuries might worsen. Besides, we don’t have time.”

Lin Ran nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Zhao Ziming, who was walking in front, was standing still. This had happened a few times before when he fell or was blocked by a boulder.

Lin Ran went over to help with Shen Rulin, but when the two of them approached, they realized that Zhao Ziming was standing on flat ground. There was nothing that could block him.

The two of them looked at each other. Shen Rulin probed, “Is this where he wants to come?” ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

“Probably.”

Lin Ran nodded, but he looked confused.

Through the surrounding scenery, Lin Ran knew that they were on the west slope of Mount Sword’s main peak. This place was about 200 feet away from the top of the mountain. A hundred steps ahead was a small cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was the cave where the Ten Miles Sword God was in seclusion back then.

However, Lin Ran couldn’t think of anything special about this place.

Lin Ran quickly untied a few knots, and the two of them expanded their range of movement from five steps to a hundred feet. Although they had no clue, they still carefully checked the surroundings.

In the end, the two of them came back to their original place. As if they had practiced it beforehand, they shrugged at the same time. “Nothing.”

“Could it be a coincidence?”

Shen Rulin looked at Zhao Ziming and said, “Maybe he’s just tired from walking and wants to rest.”

“It’d be awkward if that was the case.” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Lin Ran replied with a smile. At the same time, he knew that it was impossible because Zhao Ziming was clearly still in a deep coma. Although he didn’t know why Zhao Ziming could walk around freely, Zhao Ziming definitely couldn’t feel tired at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran came up with an idea. He carried Zhao Ziming and walked for more than ten steps before putting him down. He saw Zhao Ziming pacing back and forth on the spot for a moment before walking back to the spot where he was just now.

After that, Lin Ran tried a few more times, but it was the same. The two of them frowned and looked at each other. Then, their gazes landed on the ground where Zhao Ziming was.

Lin Ran was the first to speak. “There’s a problem!”

Shen Rulin nodded with agreement. He drew his sword and shouted in a low voice, “Dig it up!”
