Chapter 82 Mysterious No Man's Land
With a loud bang, the man suddenly exploded without any warning, like a bomb that had been detonated. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Several people widened their eyes, their faces filled with astonishment.
"What's going on?" Lin Jiangye poked his head out from Li Cheng's arms and asked in a trembling voice. He was startled by the sudden explosion.
When Su Jinyi knocked Lu Shaoang down, he also understood what was going on, but Su Jinyi knocked him down faster than he was.
Lu Shaoang held Su Jinyi tightly in his arms, and fortunately no one was injured.
Su Jinyi said calmly: "Self-destruction program."
"What? Self-destruct program?" Mo Ye said in disbelief: "Who is so cruel and inhumane that he is still working on a self-destruct program? What's the difference between this and the suicide squad!"
Su Jinyi looked at the frightened Xuan Lao and said, "You should believe it now."
Xuan Lao nodded. Of course he believed it. This person was not from Ziyun Sect at all, otherwise he would have destroyed himself long ago.
But now it is even more difficult to know who the other party is.
"Who sent this bastard?" Mo Ye shouted in a rage, "Whoever wants to harm my Ziyun Sect should just come here. Playing dirty tricks is nothing! What are you looking for a self-destruct program for?"
Mo Ye looked at Elder Xuan and said coldly: "If you Xuan Yue Sect had any brains, you wouldn't have come here to cause trouble. We, Ziyun Sect, would have taken action long ago if we wanted to seize control of the mineral resources. There's no need to wait until now to play dirty with you."
Lin Jiangye asked in confusion: "Someone is trying to plot against Ziyun Sect now, what are they trying to do?"
"The Ziyun Sect and the Xuanyue Sect are fighting each other. The more intense the fight, the more beneficial it will be for them." Li Cheng said lightly.
"Now the Tiger Hall and the Purple Cloud Sect are getting along well, it seems that someone is desperate." Mo Ye said viciously: "It's better not to let me find them, otherwise they will suffer the consequences themselves!"
"It shouldn't be that simple." Hou Cang's voice suddenly appeared from behind.
Several people turned around and looked at him.
"There are only a few gangs that have a say in Serdora. The Hades Gate is now in retreat, and the Purple Cloud Sect and the Tiger Hall have joined forces." Hou Cang continued: "They don't have the courage to provoke the Purple Cloud Sect."
"So what you mean is that there is a bigger boss behind the scenes?" Mo Ye frowned.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Before the outside gangs set foot in Serdora, a mysterious man came to this land. His pupils were as green as jade, emitting a dazzling light.
It is said that this man has an extraordinary ability - predicting the future. After hearing this news, some curious people went to ask him for advice.
However, his answer made every inquirer feel creepy and numb.
According to him, this place will become the target of crazy plundering by the world in the future. Those greedy people are eager to get more, and they will come in droves and scramble for it. However, in the end they will suffer cruel revenge, and this place will be stained with blood.
No one was willing to believe what he said at the time. After all, at that time, no mineral resources had been discovered in this place, and it was located in a remote area. Who could have imagined that such a desolate place would attract the covetousness of the outside world?
People laughed at his prediction, thinking it was just nonsense, and were about to forget the terrible rumor.
But now... mineral resources have really been discovered, and people have begun to fight for them. It seems that the predictions made in the past are happening step by step...
Hou Cang felt his scalp tingling, so is this land eventually going to perish?
Li Cheng noticed Hou Cang's abnormality and asked, "Mr. Hou, what's wrong? You don't look well."
Hou Cang quickly waved his hands to indicate that nothing serious was happening.
It's all nonsense. How can anyone predict the future? Hou Cang comforted himself.
"Since someone is causing trouble, let's go and take a look. Today it's this person, maybe it will be another one's turn tomorrow. What a trouble." Su Jinyi said coldly.
After hearing this, Master Xuan reacted fiercely and said, "I won't go. If you want to go, you should go by yourselves!"
"Since it's the mine that's causing the trouble, I think Elder Xuan should be the most anxious." Lu Shaoang looked at his fierce resistance and asked in confusion: "Why didn't Elder Xuan go to check the mine first, but came to Ziyun Sect to ask for an explanation?"
"And when you heard that we were going to the mines, you reacted so violently. Could it be that Master Xuan is hiding some secret from us?"
"How could I be hiding any secret? I came here because... because Ziyun Sect is relatively close!" Old Xuan pretended to be calm.
"It would be better if it were this way, Master Xuan." Lu Shaoang looked at him deeply.
Old Xuan looked away feeling somewhat guilty.
The group drove along the winding road, and their destination was the location of the legendary mineral deposit.
As soon as he got on the bus, Old Xuan sat in the middle seat, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. He had no intention of paying any attention to others, and no one thought much about it.
Along the way, they passed through a deserted, uninhabited area, which was filled with a mysterious and alluring atmosphere, as if an invisible force was calling people.
This uninhabited area is vast and dead silent, with no signs of life.
There is only gray dust and rocky hills. It is like a corner forgotten by time, revealing a palpitating silence. However, it is this sense of mystery that makes people feel fearful and yearning for it.
"It's so beautiful..." Lin Jiangye murmured as he looked out the window, "Where is this? Why are there so many corpses? They are so densely packed, so scary! Li Cheng... Li Cheng!"
Suddenly, Lin Jiangye's terrified cry was heard in the car. His pupils gradually dilated and his expression was terrified, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye! I'm here, Lin Jiangye!" Li Cheng hugged him tightly and shook his body vigorously with both hands, trying to awaken his consciousness that had already fallen into fear.
Seeing this, Lu Shaoang immediately leaned over, covered Lin Jiangye's eyes with his hands, and said hurriedly: "Don't look, there is nothing here, close your eyes! Don't think about anything in your mind, these are all illusions, close your eyes!"
Mo Ye was also frightened by Lin Jiangye's expression. He had never seen Lin Jiangye look so terrified. He quickly stood up from his seat.
"What happened to Lin Jiangye?"
However, Lin Jiangye seemed to be completely unable to hear their voices. His body kept shaking and he was muttering some strange words.
Su Jinyi quickly took out the silver needles, found several acupuncture points and inserted the needles.
As the silver needle was inserted, Lin Jiangye's body gradually stopped shaking and his breathing gradually stabilized. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, still filled with fear.
"I... I just saw a lot of corpses... They rushed towards me..." Lin Jiangye said with lingering fear.
"Xiao Ye, that's all fake, it's all your hallucination," Su Jinyi comforted, "It's all fine now, don't be afraid."
"But those illusions are too real..." Lin Jiangye's voice still trembled a little.
