Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 557 - 134: The Special Service Bureau Shows No Martial Virtue
The sect of the Pure Land Sect was located in a small fishing village in the suburbs of the Seaside District.
Perhaps they were aware they weren’t exactly a respectable sect, hence they dared not establish themselves within the city and chose a remote place to keep a low profile.
Here, I need to explain the coastal conditions to my friends from inland.
It’s not correct to say that all coastlines have beaches suitable for human habitation or even for anchoring ships.
There’s a term called a sheltered harbor, which means exactly what it sounds like, only those places that can protect against waves are suitable to be harbors.
The intensity of the waves on the sea surface is beyond human imagination, and without shelter, you might wake up to find your butt and boat hanging from a tree hundreds of meters behind you.
The geographical conditions of the small fishing village chosen by the Pure Land Sect were so poor it could be rightly described as a miserable and cursed place, where normal humans couldn’t reside.
But this was a village of the Sea People.
As amphibious beings, the Sea People aren’t much intimidated by the waves—they are robust, thick-skinned, long-lived, and as long as they don’t actively seek death, even in these harsh living conditions, making it to a hundred years old isn’t an issue.
However, their flaw lies in their intelligence. Perhaps it’s because they’ve soaked in seawater for too long, their cerebral cortices are too smooth, and the tribe’s average IQ is just slightly better than that of monkeys. Some uneducated tribes of the Sea People are indistinguishable from wild animals.
There are very few exceptions.
When Li Mumu followed the causal line to this small fishing village, she had initially planned to probe the monks’ background before considering which big shot to call for support.
But as soon as she arrived and before even entering the village, she saw a row of Special Service Bureau’s military trucks rumbling by.
In this remote countryside, the noise from a car engine carries a long distance; there were even guards on lookout in the small fishing village, who spotted the disturbance from the truck from far away and immediately sounded a gong to signal a warning.
In just two minutes, Li Mumu saw villagers—Sea People with fish bone pendants hanging from their ears and necks—gathering at the village entrance with long guns, quickly taking cover under the direction of their leader.
So modern, huh?
Li Mumu hid and marveled silently; she had thought the Sea People would wield broadswords and spears as weapons. However, she also noticed an abnormal flow of nature’s spiritual energy in the village, a sign that someone was secretly casting spells.
Smart old lady I am, learned from past mistakes, finally didn’t step into a pitfall this time!
The presence of the main forces of the Special Service Bureau implied that the Pure Land Sect was no empty shell company like the New Church of Eternal Life; there must be something substantial and solid inside.
To warn the Special Service Bureau, or to prevent them from falling into a trap?
Li Mumu quickly felt ashamed of her naive thoughts.
The Special Service Bureau’s convoy didn’t even enter the village, it stopped several hundred meters away. Then, she saw fully armed garrison soldiers jumping from the back of the trucks, who also retrieved three mortars.
Yikes!
Li Mumu watched tensely, remembering the time she experienced the power of this weapon when she crossed dimensions through the moat.
The Special Service Bureau has no respect for martial virtues.
After three rapid fire bursts, sparks erupted within the small fishing village, where visibly mangled limbs scattered throughout the firelight. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
In movies, the depiction of heavy weaponry tends to be dry and bland, mostly showing a burst of smoke on the ground, and the protagonist dusts himself off, stands up, and keeps battling bravely like it’s nothing...
Actually, even a mortar, a small-caliber rapid-firing artillery, exploded upon hitting the ground, leaving nothing alive within ten meters.
With the explosion of the shells, the Garrison Soldiers of the Special Service Bureau began to deploy and slowly advance.
The Sea People hidden in the shadows immediately opened fire in retaliation. Bullets hit the Garrison Soldiers’ armor in pairs and threes and were instantly deflected.
Seeing this, Li Mumu felt her heart skip a beat.
As a profession, once Garrison Soldiers gathered in large numbers, they became an utterly unreasonable wall of bronze and iron. Her reliance on Women’s Self-Defense Technique could not even leave a mark on their armor, let alone ordinary bullets.
Now it was left to see what tricks the Pure Land Sect could pull.
If she had a packet of Five-Spice Melon Seeds in her pocket at that moment, it would have been great, but alas, she could not eat them.
Li Mumu could only patiently hide in the distance, secretly watching the action unfold.
...
Wang Yunxiao slightly tilted his head, dodging a bullet from the shadows ahead. Without needing any further action from him, within a dozen seconds, a shell landed precisely on the opposing ambush spot on the earthen mound, immediately eliminating the firepower point above.
This was an absolute overpowering at the level of strength.
This time the Special Service Bureau had deployed an entire platoon of Garrison Soldiers, supplemented by their three squads with heavy weapons for fire suppression, and two senior officers in direct command. Such a lavish lineup could withstand whatever monstrous creatures and evil spirits the enemy threw at them.
When will we ever get artillery, he wondered...
Of course, Wang Yunxiao could only think about it in his heart. With his current assets, he couldn’t afford artillery, let alone shells.
The ground beneath his feet was trembling, not just from the explosions of shells but also from a different sensation.
Wang Yunxiao, without showing any change in demeanor, raised his hand and made a signal. His brothers immediately understood and heightened their alertness.
Suddenly, the ground underfoot softened, and a huge gaping maw burst through the earth, swallowing Youtiao who was caught off guard, while also revealing its massive body.
It was a giant Orochi, dozens of meters in length and as thick as a water tank!
And at the moment it appeared, Wang Yunxiao also turned his gun, driving the bayonet affixed to the Liuyun Rifle deep into its enormous body.
Then he pulled the trigger.
The Orochi let out a piercing wail. Its seemingly sturdy scales and massive body could not withstand the assault of the Liuyun Rifle’s bayonet and bullets, as half a dozen bayonets together with bullets penetrated its flesh, bones, and the spinal nerves hidden within, turning them into mush.
In total, five Orochi had ambushed from underground, intending to disrupt the formation of the Garrison Soldiers, but their moment of glory was short-lived. They couldn’t even delay the Garrison Soldiers’ advance before being shredded by a barrage of fire.
The enormous snake head thunderously fell to the ground. Youtiao rolled out of the snake’s mouth, first finding his glasses to put back on his face, then checking the mark left on his chest.
The foot-long sharp Snake Fang had only left a shallow dent on his equipment.
Just then, several vibrant red fox tails rose from the Fishing Village, slowly unfolding like a sacred and solemn Lotus Platform.
A beautiful woman sat barefoot on the Lotus Platform, gently flicking a Willow Branch towards the village.
Numerous droplets of Sweet Dew descended from the sky, instantly extinguishing the roaring flames that had just been ignited by the artillery bombardment.
