Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 82 - 80: Chang Ghost---Single-eyed Gu

Shantong City.

This is a city under the jurisdiction of Peng City, with a small population and relatively abundant mineral resources.

This time, the railway station refined into a Deceitful Demon by Mr. Yimu Wu was built halfway up the mountain, originally intended to serve the mining enterprises on the mountain.

However, as the mineral resources gradually depleted, the traffic at Shantong City Railway Station also reduced significantly.

In the pitch-black night, a dozen camouflaged jeeps parked at the foot of the mountain.

Soon, people began to get out of the cars one by one.

Lin Yuan brought along Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, and Bai Ling’Er.

The officials dispatched about thirty people, a total of three action teams.

In the pitch-black night, the continuous mountain forests were shrouded in darkness, looking like a primordial beast ready to devour.

"Mr. Lin, my name is Wu Xiao, I am their leader."

"On the way here, Elder Yang told us to follow your orders!" A short, robust, dark-skinned man stepped out from the official action team and introduced himself to Lin Yuan.

"Mm!" Lin Yuan responded lightly, saying, "Let’s head up the mountain!"

Centered around the Shantong City Railway Station, within a ten-mile radius, this was all Mr. Yimu Wu’s Deceitful Demon.

The position they were at now was already within Mr. Yimu Wu’s Deceitful Demon.

The Deceitful Demon was eerie, with mist surging around, and shadows faintly moving like some Netherworld ghostly fire roaming around.

The Tier Five Evil Spirit had absolute control over his Deceitful Demon.

So, undoubtedly, ever since they entered Mr. Yimu Wu’s Deceitful Demon, their whereabouts were no longer a secret.

Mr. Yimu Wu might ambush them halfway, or perhaps lie in wait like a rabbit in a hole.

"Wait!"

Right after Lin Yuan said to head up the mountain and was about to take a step forward, Wu Xiao suddenly called out to him.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Wu Xiao, thinking he might have discovered something new.

Wu Xiao gave an awkward smile, then said to Lin Yuan, "Mr. Lin, let’s make some preparations!"

After saying this, Wu Xiao led his men to open the jeep’s trunk and pulled out several large boxes from the car.

After opening the boxes, they were densely packed with black helmets.

The officials said nothing, picked up helmets from the boxes, and put them on their heads.

These helmets looked somewhat like motorcycle helmets, but this thing was fully enclosed, covering the entire head.

Zhang Zhen, who had a very lively personality, had already gotten familiar with these official action team members along the way, almost to the point of swearing brotherhood on the spot.

"Slap!" Zhang Zhen patted Wu Xiao’s helmet and teased, "Bro, what’s with wearing this thing?"

"Are you afraid the Evil Spirits will lift your skull?"

After all the officials finished putting on their helmets, a few helmets remained in the box.

Clearly, these were prepared for Lin Yuan and his companions!

At this point, Wu Xiao came over to Lin Yuan and began explaining the function of these helmets.

"Mr. Lin, we don’t know much about this major Evil Spirit, Yimu Wu."

"However, when his Chang Ghost and Single-eyed Gu were out hunting blood meals for him, we captured one alive."

"After research by our official researchers, they discovered a crucial fact when fighting these Chang Ghosts."

"The single eye on these Chang Ghosts’ foreheads has the effect of stunning the soul. Once you directly look at their eyes during combat, you will involuntarily become sluggish, absent-minded."

"These helmets were specially made by our researchers to restrain these Chang Ghosts, and Single-eyed Gu."

Saying this, Wu Xiao took off the helmet from his head and began introducing it, pointing at the helmet.

"A total of twenty-eight high-definition miniature cameras in the front and back."

"Plus millimeter-wave radar, and night vision functionality."

"Using the latest light and shadow projection technology, it projects the outside situation onto a small screen inside the helmet."

"Mr. Lin, this device allows you to see more clearly than with the naked eye, and also avoids eye contact with the Single-eyed Gu."

"You should wear them too!" Wu Xiao said as he put the helmet back on.

Lin Yuan: "????"

Looking at the thirty or so people in front of him, all wearing uniform helmets, Lin Yuan thought to himself, amazing! You are all men with cameras on your heads!

However, one must admit, the officials’ idea to use this method to restrain the Single-eyed Gu was indeed a clever one.

Though it’s a technological means, this approach is indeed very effective.

As long as you don’t directly look into the Single-eyed Gu’s single eye, then what’s left is a test of pure strength.

In terms of raw power, these official Life Pattern Masters are not inferior to Mr. Yimu Wu’s Chang Ghosts.

Yet, Lin Yuan had no intention of making his head sprout a camera either.

Wearing helmets only restrains the Chang Ghosts and Single-eyed Gu under Mr. Yimu Wu.

Thinking of using helmets to restrain Mr. Yimu Wu, that’s undoubtedly daydreaming.

Being a Tier Five Evil Spirit with mastery over the Deceitful Demon, if he could be restrained like that, he wouldn’t be worthy of being a Tier Five Evil Spirit.

This helmet cannot restrain Mr. Yimu Wu, thus wearing it is useless.

"You guys put them on!" Lin Yuan said to the trio of Bai Ling’Er, Zhang Zhen, and Wen Yingying behind him.

The helmets had a restraining effect on the Single-eyed Gu. By wearing them, it’s as if their combat strength gets enhanced.

Zhang Zhen and Wen Yingying have always been obedient. As soon as Lin Yuan’s words fell, the two of them put on their helmets.

Zhang Zhen and Wen Yingying are very aware of their own limitations. They know they lack strength, so they definitely can’t hold Lin Yuan back.

Whatever Lin Yuan tells them to do, they will comply with one hundred percent.

However, Bai Ling’Er did not put on a helmet.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s gaze shift towards her, Bai Ling’Er calmly explained, "I don’t need one. I have the ability to protect myself."

The camel that dies of hunger is still bigger than a horse!

Bai Ling’Er is inherently strong, and although her cultivation has not fully recovered, she is already considered a powerful demon.

Moreover, she has refined two strands of the Power of Rules. With these two powers, her combat capabilities should not be underestimated.

Bai Ling’Er didn’t claim she could defeat Mr. Yimu Wu, but self-protection was surely not an issue.

Once everyone was ready with their helmets, under Lin Yuan’s lead, they headed towards the Shantong City Railway Station at the mountain.

....

....

Since the railway station was located halfway up the mountain, the road up was a well-constructed winding mountain road, making the path quite easy to navigate.

Lin Yuan walked in the front, followed by a group of helmeted people.

The ascent was much easier than Lin Yuan had anticipated.

They had covered at least half the distance without encountering any ambushes or attacks.

"With such a wide road, can’t we drive the car up?"

"We should have just driven up earlier! Walking all the way is way too tiring!" Zhang Zhen babbled incessantly, like he had rented the mouth, chattering non-stop along the way.

Of course, Zhang Zhen dared not chatter away in front of Lin Yuan.

So, he could only pester his newly-met friend, Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao pointed towards the bottom of the winding mountain road, below which was a cliff leading into a bottomless abyss.

"Drive up?"

"What if the Evil Spirits conjure up a Deceitful Wall, or directly overturn your car? Everyone in the car would be wiped out."

Zhang Zhen craned his neck and peered over the edge of the cliff. Falling from such a height would surely mean the end.

At this stage, unless someone happened to awaken bird-like powers or had a flight capability tattoo as a Life Pattern Master.

Otherwise, the vast majority of Life Pattern Masters do not possess the ability to fly.

Just as Wu Xiao mentioned, driving up here, should someone encounter a Deceitful Wall or deceit, and the driver makes a mistake...

Except for Lin Yuan, probably not many would survive.

Compared to the four wheels of a car, everyone definitely trusts their own feet more.

"Isn’t this pretty safe?"

"There haven’t been any demon fiends or strange creatures sneak attacking!"

"I bet this so-called Mr. Yimu Wu heard that our Boss Lin was coming and got scared, packing up and running away!"

"Ran overnight, carrying the trains from the station!" Zhang Zhen laughed heartily.

Wu Xiao: "?????"

Wu Xiao was speechless, thinking to himself, does this boy have ADHD?

But, he had to admit, Zhang Zhen knew how to butter people up.

Zhang Zhen was naturally lively, and normally, he dared not talk much around Lin Yuan, nor did he meet many people.

Meeting so many people today and making new friends let him truly express himself.

As they talked, Lin Yuan suddenly halted his steps.

When Lin Yuan stopped, everyone behind him came to a stop as well.

"Shut your damn mouth!" Lin Yuan turned his head and snapped at Zhang Zhen angrily.

Zhang Zhen was truly a jinx!

As soon as he mentioned there were no Evil Spirits sneak attacking, Lin Yuan immediately sensed an approaching evil presence.

The way he jinxed it with that mouth was unparalleled.

Lin Yuan stood at the front, scanning his surroundings, following the sensed direction of the evil presence.

Soon, everyone saw a demon fiend, resembling a giant spider, crawling quickly along the mountain wall in a highly twisted posture.

In just two or three seconds, this demon fiend had reached their front. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

It was then that everyone could see clearly that this wasn’t a giant spider at all; it matched the Chang Ghost description in Yimu Wu’s archives, the Single-eyed Gu.

This Single-eyed Gu, appearing in infant form, must have been transformed into a Chang Ghost while still quite young, unable to walk and thus had to crawl.

The features on its face were distorted, with both eyes vanished. Only a vertical pupil remained on its forehead.

The Single-eyed Gu exuded a cold, piercing aura.

Though it appeared in infant form, it was not weak.

It was likely a Tier Seven Evil Spirit.

The Single-eyed Gu was no more than one or two meters away from Lin Yuan, glaring at him with its single eye.

Lin Yuan scrutinized the Single-eyed Gu, their three eyes meeting in a tense and eerie confrontation.

The Single-eyed Gu was a bit confused, this person seems odd! Anyone else it stared at like this would have been dazed by now!

However, something even more unusual was about to come!

Lin Yuan suddenly swung his arm, delivering a powerful slap onto the face of the Single-eyed Gu.
