Chapter 80: Do Not Say You Were Not Warned! (Seeking First Subscription)

Shu Daoren leaned on his cane and disappeared at the mountaintop.

The surrounding fog grew thick, leaving only a small circle of space clear at the summit.

After kneeling on the ground for a while longer, feeling that Shu Daoren must have gone far away, Huang Zong and the others slowly stood up.

"No wonder the Daoist said we were too young."

"Indeed, who would have thought that we would actually get involved in a clash between extraordinary forces."

"But our Daoist looked so confident; this display of power will surely be a complete victory!"

Huang Zong kept rubbing his chest and spoke up to cheer them on.

From the conversation just now, these cunning old foxes all realized that the kidnapping incident this evening was not simple!

It was not just a probe by local forces against them, the foreign businessmen.

It was also a probe by local extraordinary powers against the Burial Ground.

And Shu Daoren now intended to take action, to forcibly break the deadlock with the force of a thunderbolt!

This was also one of the most effective methods for a powerful dragon crossing the river to deal with a local snake!

As Registered Disciples, Huang Zong and his group had no choice left; they could only hope that Shu Daoren would succeed.

At the same time, sensing a sense of crisis, they also began to focus intently on learning the Health Preservation Technique together with Lu Daheng.

Under the blessing of the SecondTierMiddleGradeSpiritVein in the Pot Heaven.

Even without taking any Pill.

They could all clearly feel their bodies heating up, and a warm current gradually appearing in their dantian.

If it were only one person having this strange phenomenon, they, having learned from the Grandmaster, would know clearly that this was just a bodily hallucination, a cultivation obstacle that must be overcome!

But now!

All six of them had the same feeling, so it was not an illusion, but a real sensation brought about by real technique!

"This is the real technique!"

Huang Zong was filled with emotion, feeling that all the toil and effort of this period was worth it, damn it!

Among those peers and bigwigs who were more devout than him and spent more than him seeking the Immortal path, which one of them could learn such a real technique!

Although it was only Entry level, Huang Zong felt that he should be ten years younger!

Of course, this was just an illusion; the Health Preservation Technique could not yet achieve rejuvenation.

However, having come into contact with martial arts and having inhaled a small amount of Spirit Qi during the practice process.

It was indeed possible for his mindset to be a bit younger, and his complexion would also improve significantly in a short time.

It certainly wasn't as exaggerated as all illnesses disappearing, but it was no problem to suppress most chronic diseases and thereby alleviate pain.

…………

On the outskirts of Jiade City, inside a small, dilapidated factory standing alone on a hillside by the road.

Dozens of young men wearing only shorts were gathered inside, eating barbecue and drinking alcohol.

Telling dirty jokes and doing their own things.

Completely unaware of what kind of trouble they would encounter after offending those Eastern investors today.

In their view, those security companies could not possibly risk their lives to fight to the death with desperadoes like them just to save people.

As for the local official armed forces, hehe... the one who tacitly approved of them was the biggest person in charge of the local legal armed forces!

Although they were young and vigorous, they also knew that they were actually being used as pawns.

But these people didn't care; being bold, they wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money.

They were all terrified of being poor; now they only thought about desperately making money, and would consider future matters after they had earned enough.

The leader of the Earth Wolf Gang was a round-faced man with glasses who looked like a high school student, a case of not being able to judge a book by its cover.

At this moment, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his confidant by the neck, pulled him over, and gave a few instructions.

Afterwards, the confidant nodded repeatedly, called two people to carry a large bucket of water, and walked toward the factory's storage room.

The hostages were basically all locked up there.

These few were preparing to just feed them some water and be done with it.

And no one was specifically watching those captives.

To tell the truth, the death rate of local people from Gade as hostages was relatively low.

They were just bargaining chips and excuses for negotiation; if they wanted to vent their anger, they would kill the captured foreign management first, it wouldn't be the turn of these local poor people who worked hard to support their families.

So the hostages were also very obedient, and very few actually tried to run away.

After a while.

The round-faced man with glasses, after hearing the sound of a car outside, touched the pistol on his belt, stood up, and walked to the factory entrance with a few other cronies.

There, he opened his arms and gave a warm hug to a middle-aged man in camouflage who had gotten off a Hummer.

Several men in camouflage got down from the car carrying suitcases.

Tonight was a dark and windy night.

Without moonlight, both sides completed the count by the light of the car headlights outside the factory.

Then the Earth Wolf leader shouted a few words in the local dialect.

On the two dirt mounds, several ambushed gunmen stood up and waved their flashlights at them.

Following that, a forklift drove out from the factory.

It brought over a large crate.

Seeing this large crate, the man in camouflage's eyes lit up, and he kept praising the Earth Wolf Gang, seemingly very impressed that they could get the things inside the crate.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Under the car lights, black shadows were moving rapidly, and the sound of rats squeaking came from further away.

Combining with the pitch-black mountain forest shadows and the dark night all around.

Having just finished the transaction, the man in camouflage who had sat in the passenger seat suddenly felt a strange palpitation.

He frowned, and while suppressing the unease in his heart, he whispered to urge the driver to return and speed up.

Squeak!

The Hummer had just rushed onto the highway along the mountain road.

Suddenly, a Shadow of the Abyss that shrouded the highway struck head-on, instantly submerging both the lights and the vehicle body.

Even the sound seemed to have been swallowed in that instant.

The Earth Wolf boss, who was counting the Citi-knives again at the factory entrance, inadvertently looked up and happened to see the scene of the Hummer disappearing into the shadow.

His heart skipped a beat for no reason, regarding the dark night and mountain forest that should have been familiar to him before his eyes.

A wave of chill and fear actually surged from the bottom of his heart.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

This Earth Wolf boss heard the sound of rats again.

And he was surprised to find that, at some unknown time, clusters of black shadows were rapidly wriggling all around!

Although he felt that he might be overthinking it.

While the Earth Wolf boss retreated back to the factory, he silently recited the protective scriptures he had heard in his childhood.

"Ah!"

The Earth Wolf boss had just retreated back into the factory, which was as bright as day under the lights, and before he could relax, he heard his brothers let out terrified screams.

He turned his head back abruptly.

He was shocked to find that rats of various sizes were rushing out like rain from the factory's Sewer, vents, and ceiling.

These rats pounced on the humans like madmen, biting and gnawing incessantly.

Several of his brothers were scared senseless on the spot, directly pounced upon by the rats, and bitten until they were a bloody mess!

Someone reacted quickly and stood up to run around at the first opportunity.

Yet, as the number of rats increased, they were still bitten on the lower legs and fell to the ground.

"Rats, how can there be so many rats!"

The Earth Wolf boss and the trusted aides behind him were startled; they didn't intend to save anyone at first, but wanted to run outside instead!

Just as they turned back to go out the door, these people suddenly froze in their tracks.

They saw that the factory courtyard was covered with dense patches of rats at some unknown time.

These rats surrounded the entrance, their blood-red eyes staring until they felt a chill throughout their bodies.

The positions of the gunmen who were ambushing and keeping watch on the dirt slopes on both sides were also already covered with rats.

They were clearly in dire straits.

"Who! Who exactly is it!"

"Lord protect me, Fo save me!"

"Spare my life, we surrender, isn't surrendering enough?"

Faced with this supernatural phenomenon that transcended understanding, the trusted aides around the Earth Wolf boss were also so scared that their legs went weak, and they began to instinctively beg the gods.

It is a pity that in this world without spiritual power, where the power of faith cannot be preserved.

Even if a god could truly exist!

The creator of that god would only be Su Ping!

The Earth Wolf boss bit his lip, letting the pain force himself to calm down.

"They must be using some new technological means to play god and act like ghosts!"

"I'm telling you, if I die, none of you will ever know that secret!"

"A secret?"

"The secrets of the weak, this old man is not interested!"

Suddenly, the Earth Wolf boss heard an aged voice coming from under the dark night.

His heart was filled with joy, thinking he had flushed out the negotiator on the other side.

These young people, who had already begun to kill for fun, suddenly widened their eyes, looking in disbelief at a scene that subverted their worldview!

Under the dark night, the large group of rats scattered like a tide meeting a reef, clearing a path for an old man wearing a rat-patterned mask and black robes to walk slowly while leaning on a cane.

This old man was filled with a ghostly aura from head to toe.

Surrounded by the group of rats, he appeared exceptionally eerie, Evil, and powerful!

Yes, powerful!

These people, besieged by the countless rats, only felt that they were unprecedentedly weak in front of this old man.

Moreover, what was even more bizarre was that as they saw this old man's mask.

They clearly did not hear any speaking.

Yet they felt that under the old man's sinister, Evil laughter.

They seemed to hear the old man slowly telling them:

A dark night with a high wind.

When the group of rats devours men!

This old man, Shu Daoren... has come to send you all on your way!

"No!"

The Earth Wolf boss and the others all cried out in unison.

But they could not stop the group of rats from all directions surging up!

The screams from the front courtyard suddenly merged with those inside the factory building.

Accompanied by a few final gunshots from someone struggling.

The entire factory area fell back into silence.

Having completed their mission, the swarm of rats began to retreat just as they had come, even cleaning up the battlefield under the command of Spirit Mouse Xiaobai, taking away the dead and injured rats as well.

Afterwards, Su Ping took out his Storage Bag and packed up everything that could be packed, from the Hummer to the weapons, equipment, and usable supplies.

And after taking one last look at the storage room full of hostages.

He tapped his cane and tore a CleaningTalisman to sweep away all traces he might have left in the factory.

As for surveillance?

This gang hadn't even installed such things at this temporary base!

The ones originally left behind were basically broken, and just to be safe, Su Ping had still let the rats destroy them once beforehand.

Ensuring that it was impossible for any video footage to be leaked.

Su Ping did not release the hostages; after clearing his tracks, he activated an Invisibility Talisman and once again vanished into the Shadow of the Abyss.

Late at night, officials large and small in Gade City were suddenly woken up by the ringing of their phones.

And then, they were dumbfounded to learn a shocking piece of news!

The Earth Wolf Gang, who had kidnapped those Eastern fat sheep that evening, had been wiped out not long ago and had all vanished without a trace!

It was the people who went to negotiate who noticed something was wrong and discovered the anomaly after rescuing the victims, leading to an urgent report.

At the same time, what made a portion of the officials even more astonished and even feel a lingering fear was that more than a dozen powerful figures in Gade City, including the mayor and the port district security officials.

When they were woken up to learn of the matter and prepared to get up to work.

All of them noticed a black card placed in a conspicuous spot in their rooms.

This card contained only a very simple sentence.

Yet it made them never dare to look down upon those Eastern investors again!

Because on the card, only one sentence was written in the language of the Eastern Ancient Kingdom:

"Do not say you were not warned!"

Fourth update, 12,000 words achieved! There should be one more update tonight, but it might be a little late!
