I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 12 Hunting the Strange

Chi Le's gaze swept back and forth between the three of them with great interest.

But in the eyes of Zhang Guanghai and others.

This is scrutiny, discontent, and a violation of the rules—a harbinger of the arrival of strange tales!

The Taoist temple was quiet, with a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

Zhang Guanghai spoke first.

"Abbot, I am so sorry, this request is extremely rude!"

He lowered his head and quickly apologized.

"It's alright, do as you please."

After Chi Le finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the Taoist temple's gate opened wide.

"We promise we'll stay obediently at Qingshan until dawn, we won't... huh?"

Roar!

As the mountain gate opened, a gloomy forest shrouded in mist appeared before Zhang Guanghai's eyes.

His unfinished words were abruptly cut off, leaving him unable to utter them, and could only turn into a question.

Is the abbot of Qingshan Temple really so easy to talk to?

However, there's no time to worry about that now. Since we've received the abbot's permission, let's get moving.

"Xiao Jing, He Xiaoxiao, you two stay in the temple for now. I'll test the waters first."

Zhang Guanghai confessed that his arms and hands were slightly flushed.

There are too many wolves in the forest outside the Taoist temple. Wang Haojing and He Xiaoxiao are practically powerless. It would be best for them to act alone first and reduce the number of wolves in the forest.

Then, let the two of them leave the Taoist temple and harvest the remaining wolves in the forest.

Zhang Guanghai approached the fully opened mountain gate.

Through the doorway, Zhang Guanghai could see the wolves lurking in the forest more clearly.

By this time, they had long since given up their attempt to ram the mountain gate and enter the temple to devour people.

They gather in small groups of two or three, some near and some far.

Some looked around, seemingly searching for new prey, while others lay down on the spot for a short rest.

Zhang Guanghai stepped over the threshold without any obstruction and easily arrived at the open space under the trees outside the Taoist temple.

"It's amazing, it's like two completely different worlds."

Zhang Guanghai hadn't experienced anything particularly unusual while he was in the Taoist temple.

Now that he has left the Taoist temple, he immediately felt the difference between the inside and outside of the temple.

If the underlying tone of the bizarre world is cold, dangerous, and unpredictable, it is a place that makes people feel uneasy at all times.

The feeling that Zhang Guanghai experienced inside the Taoist temple was like the feeling he had every morning when he returned to his bed from a bizarre world.

It felt both familiar and reassuring.

Without disturbing the wolves in the nearby forest, Zhang Guanghai tried to walk back to Qingshan Temple.

He returned to Qingshan Temple without any hindrance.

The experiment proved that Qingshan Temple did indeed allow him free entry and exit.

Zhang Guanghai's courage immediately grew considerably.

Both arms turned red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With prominent veins and swollen muscles, it looked quite intimidating.

After the renovation of Qingshan Temple was completed, and a new "mountain gate" building was added.

Chi Le then gained an additional ability similar to overlooking the whole situation from a high position.

Nothing in the vicinity of Qingshan Temple can escape his sight.

Unfortunately, the area was small and far from Qingshan Temple, so the pond music couldn't be seen very clearly.

"It's like flying a drone."

After experiencing the new abilities.

Chi Le's gaze was focused on Zhang Guanghai, who had entered and exited the "mountain gate" three times.

Zhang Guanghai had already lowered his body and controlled his steps, silently approaching the two forest wolves closest to the [mountain gate].

But Zhang Guanghai didn't make any big moves, he just threw a simple punch.

He immediately pierced the skull of a wolf lying on the ground with its eyes closed, killing it instantly.

The wolf in the forest nearby quickly realized that its companion lying beside it was dead.

Just as he was about to stand up, he let out a wolf howl.

But Zhang Guanghai, quick as a flash, grabbed her by the neck.

Ugh~

The wolf's howl transformed into a sob that squeezed through its trachea; these were the last words of this forest wolf.

Zhang Guanghai also grabbed the wolf by the neck with his other hand.

Use both hands, one up and one down, to exert force simultaneously.

The wolf in the forest was thus decapitated.

Chi Le took in all of this.

This is also why he agreed to let Zhang Guanghai come and go in and out of the Taoist temple.

It should be noted that as long as Zhang Guanghai stayed quietly in Qingshan Temple until dawn, Chi Le would also receive some incense offerings.

[Successfully protected a mortal through the night from evil spirits and demons; Incense offering +1]

The notification from [Incense] that he had received while sheltering Chen Hao last night appeared before his eyes.

However, Chi Le did not choose this safe way to obtain "incense offerings".

Instead, they were allowed to venture out of Qingshan Temple to hunt monsters.

The main reason is that Chi Le wants to see how people with extraordinary abilities deal with evil spirits and demons.

Learning more about this world is more worthwhile than obtaining a few coins.

Now, Chi Le has clearly gotten what he wanted.

He gained a clearer understanding of the power gap between different levels of the extraordinary.

"I wonder who has a better chance of winning between our own Changxi Village's local earth god and Zhang Guanghai."

While Chi Le was pondering, Zhang Guanghai had already returned to Qingshan Temple.

After cleanly and efficiently killing two wolves in the forest, he did not choose to continue to lower his voice and hunt down more wolves.

Instead, he made quite a noise. When he saw several wolves in the forest spot him and start running towards him, he quickly crossed the threshold and returned to Qingshan Temple.

Just as Zhang Guanghai withdrew his foot from outside the threshold, a wolf from the forest leaped into the air.

They attempted to jump directly into Qingshan Temple.

Unexpectedly, the door was not closed, and the doorway appeared to be empty.

However, there is an invisible barrier that keeps it out.

The wolf in the forest crashed solidly into the barrier, then slowly slid to the ground.

After shaking its head a few times, the wolf in the forest took a few steps back.

Defying all odds, it took a running start and accelerated.

Boom!

The wolf in the forest became docile, only baring its fangs and glaring fiercely at Zhang Guanghai, who was already sitting on the ground resting.

That look seemed to say something.

"Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare."

Zhang Guanghai naturally ignored the wolf in the forest's murderous gaze.

He was trying his best to calm his breathing and regain his strength.

His extraordinary ability is called Boiling Blood Death.

It can greatly increase the power of his punches in a short period of time.

He could be described as having a sudden burst of power on the spot, like One-Punch Man.

However, the drawback is also obvious: every punch will consume a huge amount of his stamina.

He tested it in the real world; without considering the consequences, if he threw a punch with all his might, he could only throw three punches.

After three punches, his stamina will be completely drained, leaving him without even the strength to stand and utterly unable to resist.

They become like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Brother Zhang, this is feasible!"

He Xiaoxiao happily grabbed Zhang Guanghai's arm and shook it repeatedly.

As long as Zhang Guanghai can freely enter and leave the Taoist temple, her and Zhang Guanghai's plan will be 80% successful!

"Indeed, a shelter."

Zhang Guanghai first affirmed He Xiaoxiao, then seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

For someone who has fallen into a bizarre world, what is the most important thing when facing a dangerous and bizarre world?

It's not overwhelming strength, nor is it a brilliant mind.

The most important thing is to rest and recover, and always maintain peak condition.

A treacherous world teeming with danger, and many who fall into it, even those with great strength...

They also dared not exert their full strength.

Because they didn't know that after dealing with this monster, the next evil spirit or strange monster would appear around that corner.

They must always have reserves of strength; this is the primary principle for surviving until dawn in this treacherous world!

But now, everything has changed.

A Taoist temple called Qingshan Temple made Zhang Guanghai think for the first time in this strange world, "I want to see where my limits are."

There was no other way; it was a sanctuary in a bizarre world.

It smells so good!

"Even if I write down what happened on my report when I get back, I doubt the captain will believe it."

Zhang Guanghai's lips twitched, revealing a strange smile.

He had already figured out how to write the report on his entry into this bizarre world.
