Linghu Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
If I believed you, I'd be seeing a ghost.
If it weren't for the fear of destabilizing the army, you'd probably want to kill me right now.
She moved swiftly, her wrist slightly raised, and the gun in Jiang Fu's hand was already in hers. With two quick clicks, she loaded the bullets and pressed the muzzle against Jiang Fu's temple.
Everyone panicked immediately.
"Chen Lanshang, what are you doing?"
Someone's gun was already pointed at Linghu Lan.
"We're all on the same side, what do you mean by pointing a gun at Brother Jiang?"
"Put the gun down right now!"
“Let’s talk this out. Brother Jiang is trying to be nice to you. It’s not right for you to turn your back on him like this.”
Ming Xiaoxin's heart was in her throat: Shen Lanshang was so powerful. She had been so calm and collected the whole way. What was she planning to do?
Linghu Lan glanced around, smiled, slowly lowered the gun, tucked it into her waistband, and calmly said to Jiang Fu:
I won't protect you!
Jiang Fu felt a lump in his throat, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He obtained these guns from a private dealer. He had received some gun training, but he wouldn't dare say he was very skilled at using them.
Shen Lanshang's performance just now clearly showed that she was a master of gun handling. How could a woman who had only recently graduated from school have such a professional performance?
Could it be...?
He glanced at a short man among the crowd.
The short man was named Zhao Qixing. His ancestors were tomb raiders. He had a sharp eye and could tell if someone was possessed by something evil.
He had worked with Jiang Fu a few times. The moment Jiang Fu made eye contact with him, he knew what Jiang Fu meant: to see if Shen Lanshang was possessed by an evil spirit.
He nodded, secretly observing Linghu Lan.
People possessed by evil spirits often have a bluish-gray complexion, and their behavior and speech are abnormal. Their personality changes drastically, they are mentally confused, and they often do things that ordinary people cannot do.
Jiang Fu smiled slightly, showing great magnanimity.
"I misspoke, I didn't expect you to be such a gun expert!"
"You're welcome, I didn't expect that either."
Jiang Fu: "..."
A strange emotion flashed through his mind, one you would never guess, unless you weren't Shen Lanshang at all.
He ignored Linghu Lan, turned around and handed Ming Xiao a gun, telling her to keep it with her. He then secretly squeezed her palm, reminding her to be careful at all times.
The others also put down their guns, but felt a bit frustrated. Before even entering the ancient country, their own people had almost turned on each other. This was not a good sign.
The atmosphere among the crowd was somewhat somber.
I ate something and drank some water.
The group then walked further inside.
The ancient city was once covered by snow-capped mountains. After the snow melted, it was eroded by wind and sand. The further you go, the more you see countless ruins and broken walls. Several tall pillars stand in the desert, and there are fallen statues under the pillars.
Some of the statues have been infested with unknown insects.
The group carefully walked around them, and all the animals and insects they encountered along the way were exceptionally large. If they accidentally stumbled upon their nests, they might be ganged up on.
After turning a few corners, a huge city gate appeared before everyone's eyes. The city walls on both sides of the gate had collapsed, and broken towers and countless dilapidated houses could be seen inside. Even after thousands of years and the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow, everyone's first impression of the ancient city was still magnificent and huge.
The massive bronze gate separated history from reality, sending a chill through everyone present, and a single thought arose in their minds:
We've arrived at the Demon Mother's Kingdom!
