Chapter 206: Vintage Beliefs
Luo Yan maintained the ‘Eye of Reality’ and now, in addition to directly seeing the gray light of creatures, he also saw the specific distances between these humanoid gray lights.
They were presented in numerical form, allowing Luo Yan to clearly grasp the distances of these individuals.
Clearly.
These are some poachers, but they don’t seem to be together.
In small groups.
Walking apart.
At most two to three people walk together, while more walk alone.
The farthest distance from Luo Yan is probably about a kilometer, and the closest is about two hundred meters.
As Luo Yan walks, he calmly observes his surroundings.
Inside the stone forest, there are stones of various sizes.
Some are over a hundred meters tall, while others are seven to eight meters tall.
The stone columns were tall and short, big and small, forming a stone forest.
Some common medicinal herbs grew on these stone columns, while some columns had animal bones hanging on them.
On the uneven ground, occasionally animal skeletons could be seen, some with obvious signs of being gnawed.
Even, Luo Yan also found a mountain of bones.
It was composed of many animal skeletons piled up, and these skeletons were incomplete.
It looked like the bodies were eaten before, and the remaining corpses were left here to rot into bones.
All these things hinted that this area was not safe.
In the “Eye of Reality”, the distribution of poachers gradually dispersed, some had already left Luo Yan’s sight.
But the two poachers closest to Luo Yan were only a few dozen meters away.
Luo Yan looked around.
Then he climbed up a rock pillar about twenty meters high.
Looking down, he saw two poachers.
He also saw the information line above their heads.
Read.
‘Zhao Fu, 35 years old, member of the Mountain Ghost Hunting Team.’
‘He Zhong, 41 years old, member of the Heiwu Black Abyss Department.’
……
Luo Yan’s eyes twitched slightly.
He could understand the “Mountain Ghost Hunting Team,” but what is this “Heiwu Black Abyss Department”?
An organization?
Also, those two persons do not belong to the same organization.
They were dressed exactly the same.
Both wore cloaks, draped in cloaks, with their faces covered in a stylish black Mountain Ghost Mask.
At that moment, he saw the “Heiwu” member He Zhong saying, “Brother Zhao Fu, it seems like we have many mountain ghost visitors this time, right?”
Zhao Fu chuckled under his mask and replied, “Indeed, they are all coming out in full force.”
“This season is a good time for the dragon lizard to hatch from its egg.”
“The dragon lizard’s entire body is treasure.”
“Its blood and organs can be used as medicine, its lizard skin is a top-quality material for armor, and its meat is a rare delicacy that is highly sought after.”
“And what about its bones, tendons, claws, and dorsal spines, all valuable?”
“The most valuable are its pair of ‘dragon whiskers,’ with only one pair per dragon lizard, making them highly coveted.”
He Zhong nodded, “No wonder the boss has gathered everyone, do you know where our people are?”
Zhao Fu shook his head, “I’m not sure, I only know our team will meet later in Lizard Valley.”
“Even as captain, I’m not sure about the exact locations of the other teams.”
“Why are you asking this?”
He Zhong chuckled behind his mask, “Just making conversation.”
At that moment, He Zhong purposely fell back a bit, slowly drawing a dagger from behind.
The sword was glowing blue, showing that it was poisoned.
He Zhong suddenly stepped forward and wiped the short sword on Zhao Fu’s neck.
Blood sprayed out all at once.
Zhao Fu held his neck, pointed at He Zhong, but couldn’t say a word.
He Zhong wiped the blood off the sword on his cloak and said, “You must be wondering why I want to kill you.”
“It’s simple, because all dragon lizards belong to our group ‘Heiwu’.”
“They are to be offered to the great witch god. How could we let you interfere?”
Witch god…
Luo Yan frowned, wondering if this ancient belief was becoming popular now?
Soon, Zhao Fu collapsed.
He Zhong quickly left.
He wanted to disguise himself as a member of the mountain ghost.
Luo Yan thought for a moment.
He slid down the rocks and reached Zhao Fu’s body, then removed the mask.
Seeing Zhao Fu’s wide eyes and unblinking stare.
Luo Yan searched his body and found some potions, a gun, and bullets.
They were packed in a backpack embroidered with the mountain ghost symbol.
He packed up these items, then told He Hao about his discovery.
At the same time, Luo Yan fell behind He Zhong who was leading the way.
Walking on and off, about an hour later, Luo Yan squatted on top of a seventeen to eighteen-meter high stalagmite.
Ahead was a valley surrounded by many stalagmites, in which figures could be vaguely seen.
There were about a dozen humanoid grey lights occupying different positions.
Obviously, these people were waiting for the appearance of a dragon lizard.
Because in the valley, there were two dragon lizard eggs poking out from the ground, revealing half their shells.
By intercepting the information of those people.
Luo Yan knew.
Among these people, the Mountain Ghost Hunting Team had the most members, with a total of eight people including the impostor He Zhong.
Nine other people came from different poaching groups. Although they were scattered, they vaguely united and stood off against the Mountain Ghost organization from a distance.
Luo Yan looked back.
About 1 kilometer away in the valley, the ‘White Dragon’ was lying in wait.
If a missile were to be launched towards the valley now, it would probably wipe out the dragon lizard along with these poachers.
However.
Luo Yan wanted to find out more about He Zhong, so he didn’t do that.
He quickly checked something on the ground that he had just taken from Zhao Fu, and quietly entered the valley.
As he stepped into the valley, eyes from all directions immediately looked at Luo Yan.
These eyes were all fierce and cold.
Released its malice without any care.
They were all fugitives.
Luo Yan looked around with cold eyes.
He looked over all the guys crouching on the stalagmites, hiding behind rocks, and lying in the shadows.
Then he tossed out a backpack, letting out all the potions, pistols, and bullets inside.
Everything spilled out.
Immediately, some gazes turned puzzled.
But the mountain ghost’s gaze became serious.
A short, sturdy figure stepped forward, sneering, “How do you have Zhao Fu’s things? Quickly, speak up, or you won’t be able to leave this valley!”
“Found on the road.”
Luo Yan looked at He Zhong wearing the Mountain Ghost Mask.
“He was killed by one of your companions.”
There was a gasp among the members of the Mountain Ghost organization.
Then someone said, “Zhao Fu walked with He Zhong, if he was killed by a companion, then it can only be…”
Several pairs of eyes, seen through the Mountain Ghost Masks, fell on He Zhong.
He Zhong jumped up, filled with anger, and looked at Luo Yan, “I have no grudge against you, why frame me!”
He raised his hand abruptly, and as his arm slid out of the cloak, he repeatedly fired an automatic pistol at Luo Yan.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the gun flashes, He Zhong didn’t see Luo Yan falling to the ground.
Instead, he saw a semi-transparent barrier appear in the air.
It blocked the bullets in mid-air, preventing them from reaching Luo Yan.
