Chapter 656 Mountain Taoist Temple
Chapter 656 Mountain Taoist Temple
Chen Yuanye, a native of Chenjiabao, has already spoken, so Lin Yu naturally has no mercy in his heart.
Although Sanyang is not a very stable mandrill when pulling a cart, creatures with two hands and two feet always have the advantage of flexibility over four-legged animals.
Lin Yu gave Sanyang an order, and then the demon pulling the cart stood up and pushed out with both hands.
Although the villagers of Chenjiabao were manipulated and their bodies looked strange, they did not gain any enhancements. After all, they were still mortals!
Sanyang stretched out his hand and pushed out, and instantly more than ten villagers either fell to the ground or were knocked away!
Chen Yuanye was not idle either. He used the spear in his hand as a stick, sweeping left and right to knock away the people who blocked his way.
"Aren't you afraid that your fellow countrymen are still alive?"
Lin Yu looked at Chen Yuanye who acted decisively and couldn't help asking.
Chen Yuanye whispered, "How could he be alive if his limbs were broken and he was still moving?... Why would I harbor such unrealistic fantasies?"
Although Chen Yuanye had previously hidden underground and dared not show up, and was temporarily shaken by the betrayal of his loved ones, but...
After all, he is a warrior from the Prison Mountain Realm!
Born and trained in martial arts here, I've known since childhood how cruel and brutal this world is.
Although he was confused for a short time, once he was encouraged by Lin Yu to come out of it, facing this cruel situation, he would never let his weakness and emotions affect his judgment.
Chen Yuanye recognized the twisted, puppet-like villagers in front of him at a glance.
They were my aunt who gave me candy when I was a child, my second uncle who helped me after my father passed away, and my cousin who repaired my roof when summer came because he was afraid I would get too hot...
It was the cousin who had gone on cave adventures with me, the cousin who had encouraged me to learn martial arts after discovering my own strength, and the cousin who, after being beaten, would often hide in his own house and swear never to return to my aunt's house...
Indeed, Chen Yuanye also had fantasies. What if they were still alive? After all, their expressions still looked so vivid!
but……
He also knew that it was just a fantasy!
"Ugh——!"
The spear swept through the air with a loud sound, as if the land beneath his feet was weeping.
"Fuck you!"
Chen Yuanye struck with his spear continuously, and cooperated with Sanyang to break out of the encirclement!
Right in front of us is the main gate of Chenjiabao. The towering stone gate has been washed dark in color by the heavy rain.
Sanyang stepped forward and used both hands to directly knock open the closed door. Then the escort car carrying twelve people left Chenjiabao!
Chen Yuanye clenched his spear tightly and slumped back in front of the carriage. He felt excruciating pain in all his muscles and veins, as if his body was being strangled to pieces.
"hiss……"
He let out a breath, looked back with a grin, and spoke in self-deprecating tone.
"I've been wandering the world for many years, but this is the first time I've teamed up with a demon to fight my own people."
At the entrance of Chenjiabao, the villagers stood in front of the broken gate, like sculptures, gazing at the escort carriage going away in the rain.
"Junior sister, where are we going next?"
Chen Yuanye asked, and Lin Yu said casually: "This is something I have to ask you, Brother - we have to pretend to run, but we can't really run."
"So you'd better choose a route that seems safe but is still within the range of the Twin Saw Mountains as our base..."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Yuanye thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Then I do know a place. To the north, on the shady side of Shuangsaw Mountain, there's a dilapidated Taoist temple. It's said to have been built by a Taiqing Sect disciple after returning home. It's been abandoned for a hundred years, but some of the magic arrays inside are still in effect. But honestly, any powerful demon... those century-old arrays probably won't be able to do anything about it."
Chen Yuanye said this and Lin Yu nodded.
"Okay, that's it—do you know how to get there, brother?"
"Of course, I'm familiar with every stone and grain of sand in this mountain. Even after a long time, I'm sure I'll be able to identify the general direction!"
"Turn left ahead!"
Chen Yuanye once again acted as a navigator.
Seeing that Chen Yuanye knew the way, Lin Yu once again expanded his mental power and began to explore the surroundings to see if there were any new attacks.
But the strange thing is that after leaving Chenjiabao, the entire Shuangsaw Mountain was extremely quiet - it stands to reason that in such a huge mountain, there would always be some wandering monsters.
Especially since Lin Yu and his companions have now reached the depths of Shuangsaw Mountain and it is noon when the demons are most active.
However...there was only silence in the entire Double Saw Mountain.
Deathly silence.
Whether it was sound or mental perception, there were no demons or humans approaching, and there was nothing unusual.
This is actually the biggest anomaly.
The heavy rain gradually stopped and the moisture from the clothes gradually evaporated.
Although the wet clothes and skin surface can still withstand the scorching heat for a while, they will not last long.
Yue Zhenqiao in the car had already started distributing his last summer talismans - after all, in Yue Zhenqiao's view, Lin Yu had already taken out the precious talismans that could "bring rain". Although his own talismans were also valuable, if he still kept them hidden away as treasures, he would be inferior.
Holding Yue Zhenqiao's talisman, Lin Yu looked at Chen Yuanye beside him.
"How far is it?"
"It's right up ahead," Chen Yuanye looked at it, a little puzzled. "But it's really weird. Normally, this distance should take longer. There are always some monsters and beasts blocking the way... How come we haven't encountered any yet? We haven't even seen one!"
Although Shuangsaw Mountain is steep and has many strange rocks, most of the mountains in Hell have little vegetation, so the view is generally relatively open.
Even if there are no demons attacking, it is still possible to see some traces of demonic activities.
Lin Yu also nodded.
"So, perhaps as I expected... Although the abnormality appeared within Chenjiabao, it's not just Chenjiabao that's abnormal!"
The previous livestock incidents had already proved that perhaps the scope of these mysterious disappearances was not limited to humans or Chenjiabao.
Sanyang had been wandering in the mountains for a while and for quite a distance, but he had not encountered any monsters.
Therefore, those monsters in Shuangsaw Mountain outside Chenjiabao may also be within the hunting range of the mastermind behind the scenes!
This is also why Lin Yu is not sure that the mastermind behind this is definitely a demon.
Chen Yuanye nodded again with a serious expression.
"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. We should be very careful."
"But... it's right ahead!"
Chen Yuanye pointed in a certain direction ahead and then spoke in a low voice.
Sanyang pulled the escort cart around a huge rock, and following the direction of Chen Yuanye's finger, an ancient and quiet Taoist temple appeared on a slope.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Has it been abandoned for a hundred years? That's quite extraordinary."
Around the Taoist temple, he actually saw a large area of lush green vegetation growing densely, which was extremely inconsistent with the style of the hellfire.
