Chapter 81 Give it to me
"Who?!"
Li Zong is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
He turned around abruptly, looking warily at the wooden door that had been opened to his side.
This is the place where that familiar girl's voice came from.
"That sound, and that wooden door..."
"Qingshan Temple?!"
Li Zong exclaimed in surprise.
His response was a wooden cane extending from the wooden door.
again and again!
The cane struck the ground with a crisp sound.
A rock spike emerged at his feet and grazed past his chest.
If Li Zong hadn't reacted quickly and turned his body before the cane could strike, he wouldn't have been able to.
Otherwise, that rock spike would have pierced him right through!
Li Zong leaped backward repeatedly, still feeling a lingering fear, as he looked at the rock spike that still bore the texture of the rock.
"What the hell?!"
"I haven't violated any of the rules of Qingshan Temple. Why would such a strange being from a bizarre world suddenly target me with murderous intent!"
"Could it be that I unintentionally broke the rules?"
"Did they injure someone who also offered incense at Qingshan Temple and received its protection?"
Li Zong looked toward where the two clever brothers were.
The clever brothers were clearly no match for the enraged Ironscale Python.
Both of them had injuries, more or less.
"But I didn't cause this myself, so how can this be considered?"
Li Zong spoke quickly, his thoughts racing as he watched the Land God of Changxi Village emerge from the Mountain Gate.
Information about Qingshan Temple that he had visited quickly flashed through his mind.
[Number: X-424]
[A Mysterious Presence: Qingshan Temple]
[Exterior: A rather large, ancient-style Taoist temple.]
Location: Random.
[Trigger condition: Step through the ancient wooden door that appears before you, shrouded in mist.]
[Rule: Incense must be offered before entering the temple; failure to do so will result in being refused entry.]
[After offering incense, you can stay in the Taoist temple until dawn. During this time, demons and evil spirits cannot enter; it functions similarly as a sanctuary.]
[Note: This strange entity has not yet been found to be actively aggressive.]
[Note: Do not attempt to harm anyone within the Taoist temple; you will be refused entry and returned to the Ghost World.]
"No! I'm not even inside the Green Mountain Temple right now, how could I possibly trigger the rules!"
"That's impossible!"
Li Zong reviewed the information from Qingshan Temple, along with records of other strange entities.
He couldn't find any information to corroborate the current situation.
"unless……"
Li Zong's eyes lit up; he thought of a possibility.
"Unless Qingshan Temple isn't a supernatural entity at all, but rather the original inhabitants of this strange world!"
"Since it's not a strange entity, there's still a chance to survive."
As he spoke, Li Zong realized the strength level of the [Landlord of Changxi Village].
Li Zong stretched out his palm, patted the thorns beside him, and laughed.
"You want to kill me?"
"What era are we living in? Why are we still playing the 'when two dogs fight, the fisherman' game?"
"Just a native of this strange world, and only at the first level. Trying to be the fisherman?"
"Who gave you the guts?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zong flashed to the front of the [Land God of Changxi Village].
A fist rested at the waist, poised to strike.
As a first-tier martial artist.
Li Zong's abilities lean towards speed.
This caught the old man, the "Landlord of Changxi Village," off guard.
Just as Li Zong was about to throw a punch.
Only then did the local deity of Changxi Village realize that he should put down his cane and summon rock spikes to protect himself.
But Li Zong's speed was just too fast.
In addition, Li Zong has an inherently good character of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
He used all his strength in that punch, aiming to kill the "Landlord of Changxi Village" in one blow.
Once the land deity of Changxi Village takes this punch, he will have no choice but to return to the murals of Qingshan Temple to recuperate.
飒～
A black banner waved and extended from the open mountain gate.
Li Zong felt as if countless ropes had appeared all over his body, pulling him firmly to the spot.
The fist that had already been thrown out froze at that moment.
He felt as if he had fallen into an extremely viscous liquid.
It was difficult to move his limbs and bones.
Fortunately, this feeling came quickly and went quickly.
In less than two seconds, Li Zong had completely broken free from this state.
Before he could retreat or continue his attack on the land of Changxi Village, he was caught off guard.
Several sharp rock spikes celebrated his release from the control of the [Soul-Guiding Spirit Weapon]!
again and again!
again and again!
again and again!
[Changxi Village Land] repeatedly slammed down his cane.
Several thorns emerged from various angles, aiming at Li Zong's body.
Even though Li Zong's abilities are geared towards speed, he was no match for the rock spikes that were impossible to avoid from any angle.
He had no room to utilize his speed.
puff!
After successfully dealing with Li Zong, a small, furry head peeked out from the wooden door.
"The abbot said that you two should keep an eye on that big snake and make sure it doesn't come and hurt me."
After pleading with Chi Le, Chen Cheng was finally allowed to come out and pick fruit, looking around with a curious expression.
"Wow, the outside world is so big!"
"Wow, this snake is incredibly snake-like!"
"Wow, this rock is so rocky!"
Chen Cheng, who was wandering around the cave, suddenly froze.
The voice in her mind made her lower her head listlessly and say dejectedly.
"Master, please don't stop me from going out next time. I'll go pick some fruit right now..."
Chen Cheng walked past the dying Li Zong.
Reach out and pick six snake-scale fruits from the snake-scale fruit tree.
Seeing this, Li Zong, in a moment of desperate urge, tried to get up from the ground.
But the rock spikes on his body meant that only his head could move.
Li Zong looked up and watched as Chen Cheng collected one [Snake Scale Fruit] after another.
"No...this is mine, don't do this..."
pat.
Because Chen Cheng was carrying too many [Snake Scale Fruits], she lost her grip on the last one and it fell to the ground.
It rolled right to Li Zong's hand.
Li Zong struggled to control his hand and grasped the [Snake Scale Fruit], which seemed to be a gift from heaven out of pity.
"mine……"
Feeling the rough texture of the [Snake Scale Fruit] in his hand, Li Zong closed his eyes with satisfaction, a slight smile playing on his lips.
“Eh…”
Chen Cheng watched as the [Snake Scale Fruit] fell from his hand and was then taken by Li Zong.
She walked over, pried open Li Zong's hand, and took the [Snake Scale Fruit] back.
"Give it to me!"
After saying this, Chen Cheng happily walked towards the mountain gate and returned to Qingshan Temple.
Li Zong, who seemed to have experienced a final burst of energy before death and whose eyes had widened again, remained standing in the same spot.
"This Chen Cheng..."
Chi Le, who had witnessed the entire scene, shook his head.
But soon, he regained his composure and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wooden chair.
"I never expected to run into someone from the Imperial Patrol in this strange world."
"Judging from his appearance, he hasn't been planning this [Snake Scale Fruit] for long."
"As one of the organizations in the modern world that stands in opposition to the Special Affairs Bureau, if I report this matter, wouldn't it be considered a great achievement and I'd receive a good reward?"
The idea of reporting it had barely completed a cycle in Chi Le's mind before she rejected it herself.
If I were to tell anyone now, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.
This is inconsistent with his past performance in special operations situations.
Seeing Chen Cheng bouncing around, intending to come before him to claim credit, Chi Le closed the [Mountain Gate].
As for the two clever brothers who are still facing the Ironscale Python in the cave.
The Iron-Scaled Python, which had returned from outside, entered this spacious cave the moment it arrived.
It then discovered another [Iron-scaled Python] that had already died.
There is no such thing as emotion between low-level demons.
At least it doesn't.
Its rage stemmed from the fact that the [Snake Scale Fruit] it had been guarding for so long was about to ripen completely.
At this critical juncture, someone actually dared to come here.
It only wanted to kill the two humans it sensed and save its [Snake Scale Fruit]!
Now, the [Snake Scale Fruit] has disappeared from my perception.
It didn't know who had taken its snake scale fruit.
All it knew was that the entire cave had only ever contained these two hard-to-kill humans.
It was determined to kill the two men.
