Chapter 66: Caught a Living Ancestor

At the same time, the Qi light lit up on the bodies of Baron, Wang Zhenqiu, Xia Liuqing, and others, and they looked at the young man with grim expressions.

The young man, or rather Lin Yu, smiled slightly and said in a leisurely tone: "My identity is not important; what is important is that I know the origin of those foreigners outside, and I also know the secret behind this Twenty-Four Solar Terms Heaven-Reaching Valley."

"..."

The group looked at each other.

Wang Zhenqiu frowned slightly, glanced at Baron without a trace, and then whispered:

"Is that so? Then please tell us—"

The moment Wang Zhenqiu spoke, Lin Yu's gaze subconsciously shifted over.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chulan's pupils shrank, as if he had realized something, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

Sure enough, the moment he shouted, Baron, who was closest to Lin Yu, suddenly made a move. The short blade in his hand turned, and he smashed the hilt fiercely toward Lin Yu's neck.

Fortunately, Zhang Chulan spoke in time, and the striking hilt stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Lin Yu didn't care at all about the hilt hovering at his neck and still said with a smile: "One attracts my attention by talking, and the other takes the opportunity to attack me. You cooperate quite well~"

"Hehe, just a joke, just a joke!"

Zhang Chulan hurriedly walked up and pulled Baron back with a face full of smiles.

Baron and Wang Zhenqiu frowned. The latter approached Zhang Chulan and whispered: "Zhang Chulan, what do you mean?"

Zhang Chulan glanced at Lin Yu and lowered his voice: "Soul-Ball, you know Sister Bao'er. Although she usually acts like a celestial soldier, she will absolutely not be careless about such matters."

"Do you think she brought this person back just because the other party didn't resist?"

Wang Zhenqiu was slightly startled, then turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Feng Baobao.

Zhang Chulan took a step, changed into a smiling face, and said sincerely: "Big Brother, please don't blame my companions for being impulsive. It's mainly because the timing of your appearance is too coincidental, and you are unwilling to reveal your identity. They really have no bottom in their hearts, so they thought of striking first..."

Lin Yu said with a half-smile: "Then you have a bottom in your heart?"

Zhang Chulan said sternly: "I just asked Sister Bao'er, and she said you have no malice. I am willing to believe her judgment. So, do you think we should turn this page and continue to talk about the information you know?"

Speaking to the end, Zhang Chulan's face was full of sincerity.

Lin Yu looked at him with interest and praised: "As expected of you, Zhang Chulan!"

Zhang Chulan's heart moved: "Do you recognize me?"

Lin Yu said with a smile: "With such a big name as 'Bu Yao Bilian' (Shameless), it would be hard for me not to recognize you!"

The smile on Zhang Chulan's face stiffened, and then he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Empty fame, all empty fame..."

Lin Yu looked at Zhang Chulan's expression with interest.

He knew that this was just Zhang Chulan's superficial disguise.

This guy is different from those "great, glorious, and correct" protagonists; he is a scheming, strategy-oriented male lead.

The title "Bu Yao Bilian" indeed made him extremely embarrassed, but that also depends on the occasion. In the current situation, a mere title could never shake his mind.

"Zhang Chulan..."

Lin Yu easily broke the rope, stretched his shoulders under the vigilant eyes of the crowd, and then said with a smile: "For the sake of you and that little girl, I won't hold a grudge for what happened just now."

"As for the group of people in the cave, I can tell you that this is a team composed of strange people and ordinary people. Most of the ordinary people are mercenaries, and only two are professors and students specializing in biology and mysticism..."

From the configuration, it does look like an expedition team, but the problem is, this is not an ordinary dangerous place.

Especially the Qi maze outside the valley; even they had to be led by Granny Jin Feng to set foot in it. How could this team mixed with ordinary people and strange people pass through safely?

'They must have an accurate map, and it is highly likely that they obtained it from Granny Jin Feng's memory!'

Zhang Chulan's mind moved like lightning, and he continued to ask: "What about the strange people?"

Lin Yu smiled: "Those strange people outside are probably unable to break through. There are only three left in the cave. One is named Liu Mingyuan, who is the guide of this team, and the other is named Judi, who is the target of protection."

"These two people don't have much strength; only the little gadgets on them are worth paying attention to."

Little gadgets... are they magical artifacts?

Zhang Chulan and the others thought secretly in their hearts.

Lin Yu continued: "As for the last one, her name is Shaba. She is a voodoo priest who believes in the Forest God, and she carries a guardian god named Aimulu."

"Aimulu?"

"A transliterated name." Lin Yu turned his head to look at Xia Liuqing and said, "You, go to the crack now and take a look—do you see the water they are drinking? That is Aimulu. After drinking this kind of water, they have the protection of the Forest God. If they are attacked, Aimulu will run out to protect them."

"..."

Xia Liuqing's face turned dark.

Why didn't he say such an important thing earlier?

Granny Jin Feng, who had been silent on the side, suddenly whispered: "The Sect Leader's collection is quite large. If we don't drive this group of people away, we won't be able to move it quietly."

"Jin Feng'er, it's easy to drive them away..."

Xia Liuqing narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Yu not far away: "It's hard to hide it from this guy!"

Lin Yu seemed to have heard their conversation and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I am only interested in this Twenty-Four Solar Terms Heaven-Reaching Valley. As for other things, to be honest, I really don't care!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yu paused and smiled again: "If you are really worried, why not leave someone to watch me."

"Anyway, there is only one decent strange person in the cave. With your configuration, it doesn't matter if you have one less person..."

The crowd looked at each other and fell into silence.

Feng Baobao looked left and right, and hurriedly raised her hand: "I..."

Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu said in unison: "No!"

After the words fell, Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Zhenqiu with some surprise, then coughed twice and said: "Sister Bao'er, there is no need to trouble you with such things!"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people in the cave.

First of all, Granny Jin Feng is definitely not okay. If she is left alone, Xia Liuqing will be the first to disagree.

Similarly, the same goes for leaving Xia Liuqing behind.

As long as he is separated from Granny Jin Feng, Xia Liuqing will not be at ease, so he is also not a suitable candidate.

Wang Zhenqiu is so actively helping Old Xia, he should be wanting to find the group of people who kidnapped Ma Xianhong for the company.

If the group of people in the cave really wear magical artifacts, they must have a relationship with Ma Xianhong. With Wang Zhenqiu's personality, he would never miss this group of suspects.

As for Zhang Chulan himself, he also has one thing he must do.

Looking at it this way, the only one left to watch Lin Yu is Baron...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Baron.

At the same time, Wang Zhenqiu also looked over, seemingly having the same idea as Zhang Chulan.

Baron was slightly startled, then smiled lightly: "Since none of you are willing, then I will come!"

Once this was said, no one opposed it, and they quickly reached a consensus.

Soon, Zhang Chulan and the others walked toward the cave, preparing to take down or drive away the group of people.

Not long after, they began to fight with the strange people and ordinary people in the cave.

Just as Lin Yu said, these ordinary people have the protection of something. Once attacked, black Qi will spread from their bodies, adsorbing grass, trees, soil, and stones, turning into tree-man-like monsters.

Almost everyone has one of these monsters called Aimulu.

Coupled with the fact that they have guns in their hands and their bodies are strengthened by the Qi maze, Zhang Chulan and the others could not take them down for a while.

In the melee, Zhang Chulan found an opportunity, pulled Feng Baobao to the corner of the cave, and whispered: "Sister Bao'er, I haven't found a chance just now. Why on earth did you tie that guy back?"

"Don't tell me you can't see the strangeness of that guy..."

Feng Baobao blinked and asked suspiciously: "Yeah, why?"

Zhang Chulan's heart sank: "Could it be... you were influenced by him?"

"It's possible!" Feng Baobao showed a thoughtful look, then looked at him and said, "Aren't you the same? He asked you to leave someone to watch, and you left someone to watch. I wanted to say that we could leave more people, but you refused."

Leave more people?

Zhang Chulan was startled when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.

Yeah, who said we must leave one person? With this group of people outside, Sister Bao'er and Baron are enough. The rest of the people can completely stand by and watch; there is no need to participate in the battle at all...

Looking at it this way, it is not just Feng Baobao; all of them have been influenced by some inexplicable influence.

'Even Sister Bao'er can be influenced. This is not catching a tongue; it is clearly catching a living ancestor!'

Zhang Chulan's scalp was numb, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at the way he came.

"Not good, Baron!"

At the same time, in a remote cave.

Baron, who was sitting on the ground, had his alarm bells ringing in his heart. He suddenly burst up from the ground, and while his body rotated, the short blade in his hand slashed rapidly toward the air behind him.

"Chi—"

A series of sparks splashed out from the seemingly empty air.

A blurred figure emerged, touched Baron and separated, and jumped backward.

Baron stood with his blade retracted, staring at the distorted air and sneering: "Since just now, I have felt that something was watching me. So... there really is a second person!"
