Chapter 232 Ghoul Rat Demon
Time passed quickly.
Finally, as a celestial melody echoed in the sky, a phantom image of an ancient temple appeared on the original massive mountain range.
"How can it be……"
Gu Lingwei stared blankly at this scene, feeling as if her worldview had been shaken.
She was not alone in her blank stare, all gazing up at the mountain range.
The ancient temple gradually transformed from a phantom into a physical entity, and then merged with the mountain range, as if it had always been rooted here.
As the ancient temple fell, the celestial music disappeared, and a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Gu Lingwei looked at the gate of the ancient temple.
The plaque, gilded with gold lettering, bears the words "Lingyin Temple" in an extremely simple and archaic script.
This is the real Lingyin Temple, the most mysterious place in the secret realm, and also the place with the greatest opportunities!
Most people gasped in surprise.
"Incredible! I can't believe such miraculous methods exist in this world!"
"I thought Lingyin Temple was just a temple, but I didn't expect it to cover such a large area, almost the size of an entire mountain range!"
"Look everyone! Incense is wafting from the temple!"
Suddenly someone cried out in surprise, and everyone looked over.
Sure enough, the rich aroma of incense wafted from the temple, accompanied by the faint sound of bells being struck.
Could there still be living people inside Lingyin Temple?!
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, except for a few highly skilled individuals who remained expressionless.
Master Guangchun said calmly, "Lingyin Temple is mysterious, so don't be surprised. There are countless opportunities inside, but dangers are everywhere. Once you step inside, you will be subjected to the pressure of Lingyin Temple, which will suppress your strength. How many opportunities you can obtain depends on how far you can withstand the pressure."
She said this to Gu Lingwei.
But the voice was loud enough that everyone present heard the teaching and showed expressions of realization.
Fan Renjie looked at Fan Longhu guiltily: "Dad, my strength is so weak, what if I can't withstand the pressure?"
Fan Longhu patted him on the head.
"Nonsense! How would I know? I've never even been inside! Never mind all that, just go as far as you can, and if it gets too dangerous, just come back."
"okay."
Fan Renjie breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he could just give up.
At this moment, the Iron Oriole Guardian said in a deep voice, "Lingyin Temple has appeared. If you fly to the temple's courtyard wall, you will naturally be pulled in by the power of Lingyin Temple. There is no need to enter the gate."
Having said that, he didn't care whether the others understood or not, and took the lead in flying up.
Sure enough, before he even reached the door, a pulling force enveloped him and threw him inside.
Following suit, everyone flew over.
At this point, the priority is to seize the treasure, and all parties are exercising restraint, with no instances of mutual slaughter occurring for the time being.
The vice leader of the White Lotus Sect, however, refused to believe in evil and rushed straight towards the temple gate.
However, it only managed to hold out a few steps longer than the Iron Oriole Guard before being flung into the air.
Soon, everyone entered Lingyin Temple, but the outside was deserted.
At this moment, the bandit king, who had been secretly observing, swept over from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and rushed in.
Ye Kang and his group, who had just arrived, happened to witness this scene from a distance.
"Damn it! He actually managed to sneak in!"
The King of Thieves roared in fury.
After taking the elixir, his injuries had recovered by half, and he was now capable of fighting again.
Ye Kang also said, "So that man is the King of Thieves. He is quite cautious."
The Thief King scoffed, "You overestimate him. That scoundrel is arrogant and thinks he knows everything. If he really finds that treasure in Lingyin Temple, we're finished."
Ye Kang's mind raced, but he asked calmly, "What exactly is the treasure that the King of Thieves is looking for?"
The Thief King shook his head: "This old man did not know. Those were our master's wife's belongings. This beast robbed our master's wife's grave and stole those things. He is utterly despicable!"
Good heavens, they've even started stealing from their own family.
Ye Kang didn't ask any more questions and flew over directly.
The three thieves quickly followed.
Ye Kang followed suit, flying to the temple's courtyard wall. The next second, a powerful suction force acted on him, and his body went out of control, crashing heavily into the temple.
Everything happened so fast that Ye Kang hadn't even had time to react before he had already fallen onto a cobblestone path.
He looked up and a sense of desolation and loneliness immediately flooded his mind.
Where was the thriving incense burning outside? Inside, there were only broken walls and ruins, overgrown weeds, at least four or five broken Buddha statues, and large wooden planks gnawed by rats.
Before Ye Kang could react, a strong killing intent suddenly came from behind him.
He turned and threw a punch, enhanced by the Catfish Demon Ink Pattern, the immense force shattering a longsword and then slamming it into a man's chest.
Ye Kangding glanced at the man and saw that he was dressed in the clothes of a White Lotus sect member, but he had no vital energy and his heart had long since disappeared. His punch had only created an empty hole.
This person was actually a dead man whose internal organs had been removed!
Ye Kang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stepped back.
How can a dead person launch a sneak attack!
Sure enough, the corpse didn't fall down. Instead, it shakily jumped forward, clenched one fist, and slammed it towards Ye Kang.
Without life, they are fearless in the face of death.
"roll!"
Ye Kang roared, his physical strength surging, and he unleashed a powerful punch that smashed the corpse to pieces.
It finally stopped moving, but Ye Kang showed a horrified expression.
"Why are there zombies?!"
He was stunned. This environment, this corpse—it was clearly the standard opening of a horror story. This was completely different from what he had seen outside!
He took a deep breath and quickly walked inside, cautiously probing his senses as he went.
He had sensed it when he made his move; there was a faint sense of suppression within Lingyin Temple, restricting his strength and movements. The further he went in, the more obvious this suppression became.
However, Ye Kang's physical body was strong, so this small suppression was completely insignificant to him and he didn't take it to heart.
At the end of the bluestone path stood a row of long-abandoned houses, their doors ajar and covered in dust, clearly indicating that no one had ever been here before.
Ye Kang probed inside, and the next second, several dark figures suddenly darted out of the house. Ye Kang reacted extremely quickly, and his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi shot out almost simultaneously, pinning the dark figures to the ground.
It was a bunch of big black rats!
The system voice then sounded.
【Ding】
[Demon Forge Notification: Host has killed 6 Ghoul Rat Demons, rewarding 6 Enlightenment Points]
[Forge Quest Released: Rat Exterminator]
[Mission Requirement: Eliminate the Corpse-Eating Rat Demon]
[Quest Rewards: Comprehension Points, 10 Demon Blood Crystals]
Wow!
Ye Kang was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected that this big black rat was actually a demon.
And there are just too many of them! Are there really that many rats in Lingyin Temple?!
Ye Kang didn't have time to complain and quickly opened the second door. Sure enough, dozens more rats scurried out.
The Hundred Flowers Sword Pointing technique easily kills.
He opened the doors along the way, dealing with a whole row of houses, and still managed to kill less than a hundred rats.
Ye Kang was immediately in a dilemma.
If we keep killing like this, when will we ever kill 10,000?
I need to think of a way, preferably one that will make the rats line up and come to me to kill them, that would make things much easier.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Ye Kang suddenly froze.
Yup!
There is a way!
With a thought, the ancient jade treasure flashed, and a jade box appeared in his hand.
Inside the jade box was that small, mysterious "soap".
