Chapter 97: Face

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Yan clenched his fists, broke the leather-armored man’s neck, and casually threw him into a thick bush.

He picked up the bow on the ground. The villagers of the Ji Village might be able to use it.

1 didn’t expect that this mountain wasn’t the only place with poisonous fog. The same poisonous fog had appeared in the previous earthquake .11

According to the man in leather armor, during the earthquake a few months ago, many parts of the Guangchuan Mountains had cracked and the ground had collapsed. Among them, several mountains, valleys, and sinkholes had spewed out a large amount of poisonous fog, enveloping a small area.

The poisonous fog was extremely powerful, and no one dared to enter.

However, after the poisonous fog dissipated, someone entered and discovered many ancient ruins in the cracked mountain!

…..

Many lucky people found gold, silver, and ancient treasures. It was even said that someone had found a martial arts secret manual.

This time, the moment the Wang family sensed the earthquake, they immediately sent more than ten teams to try their luck in rhe direction of the earthquake. They did not expect the leather-armored man’s team to be lucky and really find the place where the poisonous fog erupted.

“There are a total of five of them, and they’re all at the Strength Realm. They found this place four to six hours ago and left four people to guard this place. One of them went back to report. Calculating the rime, the experts of the Wang family will probably arrive soon.1‘

Lin Yan sped up and went straight up the mountain.

Wang Qinggang betraying the Dragon Gate Pavilion meant that the Wang family was in cahoots with the City Lord Manor and had long colluded.

Since Lin Yan had encountered them, there was naturally no reason to let them go.

After about fifteen minutes, Lin Yan rubbed the back of his hand and exhaled. He piled the three longbows he had gathered on a tree trunk and climbed up the mountain path.

It only took an instant to kill the remaining three people of the Wang family. They were scattered in three directions and he had to spend some effort to find them.

At this moment, he looked up at the mountain and saw a dense green poisonous miasma spreading halfway up the mountaintop, enveloping a large mountain slope.

The poisonous fog was green and the visibility was extremely low. One could only see clusters of shrunken dead trees in the periphery.

He approached the poisonous fog.

The herbs here were withered and life was extinct. There was an obvious intersection of green and black ash on the slope. A large number of overturned and stiff corpses of insects and snakes were scattered on the mud covered in poisonous fog.

However, Lin Yan took a light breath and felt a heat flow through his entire body. He felt indescribably carefree and at ease.

In the future, he would not have to worry about finding poison. He would just stay in the poisonous fog.

Yesterday, the situation was urgent and he did not have time to feel it. However, now that he had inhaled the poisonous fog, the heat in his stomach gave him a rather familiar feeling.

“It’s… the poison of that Poison Pearl!”

The hear of this poisonous fog was exactly the same as the Poison Pearl he had obtained from the underground Ghost Market.

“So, the Hong family obtained the poisonous stone or pearl from these poisonous fogs? They asked Gan Yang to detoxify the poison so that they could enter the poisonous fog?”

Lin Yan’s mind raced as he stepped into the poisonous fog.

A dense green fog assaulted his face. He could sense a sweet smell. Coupled with the surging blood energy and heat in his body, Lin Yan felt that he was not walking through a poisonous miasma, but a fog of life essence. After all, it was green.

However, he did not let down his guard. The bronze scythe shadow that he had glimpsed yesterday was like a fish bone in his throat, making him cautious.

As he walked deeper and deeper, the visibility of the surroundings was extremely low. They could only see about ten feet away.

The remains of animals were everywhere.

In just a day, under the corrosion of the poisonous miasma, the bones of animals had already shown a high degree of decay.

Lin Yan saw the corpses of several gray wolves. Their flesh had completely decayed, and pus flowed like melted wax. Their white ribs were exposed, and their shriveled and withered internal organs were faintly visible.

Not to mention plants, all the tall trees had already turned into gray withered branches and strange woods.

Lin Yan pricked up his ears and focused all his attention along the way. He roughly walked around the hill covered in poisonous miasma and heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not find any strange creatures. It was as if the strange scythe he saw yesterday was an illusion.

There was nothing special about the surroundings. The only thing he discovered was that the concentration of the poisonous miasma was uneven. Some parts were thick, and some parts were thin.

Of course, one couldn’t tell the concentration with the naked eye. Lin Yan relied on the heat produced by the Poison Transformation to determine it.

For the time being, he didn’t find any strange creatures, so Lin Yan became a little bolder. He followed the distribution of the poisonous miasma and slowly walked towards a place where the poisonous miasma was thicker.

After searching three or four times in a row, the densest poisonous miasma was the cracks on the mountain. It was obvious that the poisonous miasma was spewing out from the mountain.

However, these cracks were very thin and narrow. The widest was only half the height of a person. People could not enter at all.

He continued to walk around.

“Huh?”

On a sunken mountain wall, Lin Yan discovered another area with dense poisonous miasma.

He leaned closer to the mountain wall.

Around his waist, there was a long crack that was as tall as an arm and half the width of an arm. It was pitch-black, and there seemed to be a faint wind whistle that surged out with poisonous fog.

A trace of gloominess flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. Thick dark red bloodstains dripped down from the hole, forming a pool of dried blood on the ground.

The walls of the cave were covered in red blood marks caused by dragging and friction.

There were also four or five long marks that looked like they had been carved by a blade. They were scattered around the crack in a mess. They were smooth and sharp, as if they had been drawn by some sharp blade.

Lin Yan reached out and plucked a tuft of grayish-white fur from the edge of the hole.

That’s right, it was definitely the gray wolf that was killed yesterday!

So, the owner of the scythe that appeared with a cold light finally crawled into this hole?

Not only did it enter, but it also dragged the gray wolf that was like a calf in?

The gray wolf was squeezed through the narrow hole, and the blood in its body was squeezed out, causing it to bleed so much.

“That’s not right…”

Lin Yan frowned slightly. This hole was very narrow. With rhe gray wolf’s huge size, even if it could squeeze in through the hole, it would definitely be severely squeezed. Wouldn’t it be stuck inside because of friction?

Unless…

Lin Yan reached out and knocked on the cave wall.

Knock knock knock!

“As expected, the back of this cave wall is hollow.”

Lin Yan’s eyes darkened slightly as a solemn expression appeared on his face. He retracted his fist and punched out with his blood energy surging!

The mountain wall immediately cracked layer by layer, and the patterns spread like a spider web.

After three consecutive punches, Lin Yan retreated.

Rumble!

A large mountain wall about the height of two people collapsed with a bang. After the smoke and dust dissipated, a deep and black mountain crack was revealed.

There were more bloodstains and hairs on the walls of the cave, but the space was already much wider, enough for a person to pass through.

Lin Yan’s expression was solemn. It was very likely that there was a strange and terrifying creature hidden in the crack of the mountain, but Xiaozhi’s condition was getting more and more serious.

He could not let go of this opportunity to explore. He could only brace himself.

After checking the brass knuckles on his hand, he lookout a candle and lit it. Lin Yan carefully squeezed into the crack.

The mountain wall was rugged and rough, and it was very damp. The surroundings were filled with a rotten and fishy smell. It was probably emitted by the residue of the gray wolf after decaying for a day.

Lin Yan pricked up his ears. As he walked, he carefully checked the surrounding mountains, guarding against any caves, especially above his head.

He was actually confident in facing that strange creature head-on. What he was most afraid of was that it would suddenly appear and attack him from behind.

Fortunately, there were no forks along the way, and the ventilation was very good. Other than a few places that needed to be squeezed through, most places were relatively spacious.

However, the fire was weak. Other than his breathing and footsteps, it was dead silent. Instinctively, Lin Yan felt a sinister chill run down his spine. He kept feeling that something was staring at him in the darkness.

As he kept walking like this, it was obvious that the terrain was getting lower and lower. This huge crack actually led all the way to the underground of the mountain. It was unknown how deep it was.

After walking for an unknown period of time, the exit of the spatial rift ahead suddenly opened.

The range of the candle was limited. Lin Yan didn’t dare to easily walk out of the crack, afraid that the strange creature would ambush him at the entrance.

He tore off a section of his sleeve, rolled it into a ball, lit it with a candle, and threw it out of the crack.

The linen material on his sleeve made crackling sounds as it was licked by the flames, and a beautiful parabola flew out.

Following that, the flickering flames spread out like a layer of orange-red fog outside the crack.

…..

Just as the flames spread to the entrance of the cave and illuminated the space outside the crack, a pale face that looked like it had been smeared with white wax stared straight at Lin Yan. It flashed in the dancing flames at an unknown depth..
