Chapter 214: [213] Get ready to take action

The direction we got was a dense forest. As soon as the car stopped, Mao Linlong frowned. He looked at the time and said, "Let's start climbing the mountain at 2:30."

"Yes." I looked at the time. It was already 2:20. I answered Mao Linlong. 2:30 was what we had just agreed on. This is the only way to give full play to the advantages of a blanket search.

Cui Zuofei was also holding a walkie-talkie. There were forty of them. The walkie-talkie was very quiet at this time. But I knew it would get noisy when the time came.

Sure enough, at 2:30, the five of us started to go up the mountain. The intercom was indeed noisy. Some people said they saw snakes, some said they encountered wild boars, and one even said he fainted from the clothes hanging in the mountains. I was immediately ashamed. Clothes could scare people to faint. How strong must their mental strength be.

But after waking up, the man probably felt very embarrassed. He explained that he saw those clothes and thought they were ghosts, so he was scared. But because of this, he was despised. A Taoist priest could be scared to death by a ghost. I felt a sense of accomplishment at that time. I am not strong in strength, but my mental quality is absolutely strong.

"Remember, if you encounter a drought demon later, you guys should hide away and leave it to me." Mao Linlong thought for a moment and said to the three of us.

"Okay. Got it." We said nothing and slowly groped our way into the mountain.

This mountain road is very difficult to walk on. There is no road in this forest. There are dense bushes everywhere. You can occasionally hear a snake or something in it. But fortunately, Mao Linlong is here. Mao Linlong got a toothpick from somewhere and picked his teeth while walking. If a snake or something appeared, he would immediately shoot the toothpick into the snake's vital point. It looked like a martial arts novel.

Qiao Shengfeng was similar. He held a dagger and threw it at any snake that came out, just like throwing a kunai in Naruto. Trash. Cui Zuofei and Yi Xinxing were miserable. Cui Zuofei and I were fine. We were not afraid of snakes. But Yi Xinxing was particularly afraid of snakes for some reason. His eyes almost popped out when he saw a snake. Seeing his useless appearance, I was filled with anger.

"What a broken mountain. So many snakes." We had only walked for five minutes and had already encountered three snakes in a row. Although I am not afraid of snakes, I was still very afraid when I thought about those colorful snakes that might jump out from the side and bite me at any time.

"The appearance of the drought demon is not just a simple matter of a thousand miles of barren land. I guess all the snakes from a hundred miles away will come." Mao Linlong said nonchalantly while biting a toothpick.

"What? No. That means there are a lot of snakes on the top of the mountain."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Hanba just called these snakes to protect him. Hanba can be said to be a demon fairy. After all, it is condensed from resentment. It has a very deterrent effect on these animals. But it should be second only to these few. It's not like there are snakes in a thousand miles." Mao Linlong replied.

After listening to the screams of the young Taoist priests who were bitten by snakes on the intercom, I suddenly felt lucky to be with Mao Linlong and Qiao Shengfeng. After all, they dealt with the snakes like a piece of cake. If I were alive and Cui Zuofei came, I would not be afraid, but it would probably take me half a day to kill one.

It took us more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain at about 3:30. The mountain is not very high. It usually takes only half an hour to climb up. After we got up, we saw that there were only about 150 people. Most of the others were sent to the hospital. After all, I saw quite a few poisonous snakes among them.

Mo Xuan was already there at this time. He frowned upon seeing this situation.

"Master Mo, don't think about it. Let's find out the exact location of Hanba first." Mao Linlong walked forward and said. After that, he took out a yellow talisman, pointed to the sky, and began to chant a spell. Then he threw the talisman into the sky, picked up the compass, and said, "North."

"Let's all start the journey to the underworld. Don't panic no matter what happens. Just use what you have learned." Mo Xuan said loudly to the group of people behind him.

Actually, those people are not as good as me. Alas, now both the Yin-Yang masters and the Taoist priests are in decline. After listening to Mo Xuan's words, I also took out the cow's tears and opened my eyes. Cui Zuofei and the others did the same. After they opened their eyes, we walked towards the north together.

The top of the mountain was not very big. After walking for about ten minutes, we found a cave. The cave was round and about two meters in diameter. It was just big enough for one person to enter. At this time, a heat wave came out from time to time.

"Don't go in. I'll go in and get the corpse bead of this drought demon. Then I'll hand it over to you." Mao Linlong said, and then he looked at us and went straight into the cave.

After Mao Linlong entered, Mo Xuan immediately said, "Set up the formation. If Hanba comes out, start attacking."

The Taoists came to their senses after hearing what Mo Xuan said. They were busy setting up battle formations and traps outside. It was a complete mess.

Originally Yi Xinxing was ready to go and help, but Cui Zuofei grabbed him and said, "Why are you going to help? Get ready. You're going to use the Three Escapes and Body Formation. These Taoists are no match for them. Even if the Hanba is missing its corpse bead, they won't be able to deal with it."

I nodded. Corpse beads are actually the blood essence of zombies. It's just that when there are too many, they will condense into beads. However, Hanba is very special. His power is not entirely based on blood essence. His body is also condensed by resentment. So ordinary zombies will immediately become corpses without corpse beads. Hanba will lose at most half of his strength. But even half of his strength is not something we can deal with now.

"Brother Cui, what are our chances of winning if a real fight breaks out?" I looked at the flustered Taoists and asked Cui Zuofei.

"It's hard to say. If there were more Yin-Yang masters like us, the chances of winning would be better. After all, these Taoists who usually live a comfortable life came here. Alas." Cui Zuofei sighed and said.

I nodded. It is the Yin-Yang masters who often catch ghosts now. These Taoists are just learning theories in the Taoist temples. They have no practice at all. Cui Zuofei and Yi Xinxing are not ordinary Yin-Yang masters. They are the descendants of the Three Pure Book. It is said that the Three Pure Book was passed down by the Three Pure Masters. Cui Zuofei said that he only learned one tenth of the spells in the Three Pure Book. It is conceivable that the Three Pure Book is really a powerful book.
