Looking at the list of more than ten target individuals, they weren't cult leaders, but mainly assistants, protectors, henchmen, and so on...
Yuan Mengge said thoughtfully, "Do you want me to capture this whole group of people and bring them down the mountain? This capture game... is quite interesting."
Isn't this just a primitive pyramid scheme?
However, this Longevity Cult doesn't seem to be very well-known.
The most famous one has to be that cult leader surnamed Li.
However, that guy hasn't been caught yet. His cultivation technique that allows one to become an immortal seems to have been established around 1992, so he's probably still making money everywhere right now.
She now wants to defeat the leader of the Longevity Cult, but she doesn't know if he has any connection with that guy surnamed Li.
The man surnamed Li was a swindler in the city, while the Changsheng Cult was based in the mountains.
They must have been scamming people by exploiting the locals' belief in mountain gods and spirits.
I never imagined he would cause the deaths of so many people.
Yuan Mengge loaded all the things she needed to go into the mountains into the car, then changed into camouflage clothes. After dark, she drove off towards Yonghe County on the other side.
Yonghe County is located at the border of Heshui Town. You can reach it by following the provincial highway past the area of Heshui Town.
However, it's quite far from Daliu Mountain; it takes her more than 30 kilometers to drive there.
The roar of motorcycles echoed along the winding mountain roads, and a bright headlight flashed by.
The car finally stopped in front of a mountain. Yuan Mengge pushed the car into the mountain and hid it in a place.
Then she looked up at the dark mountains, carrying a large backpack, and walked into the mountains.
Daliu Mountain is just an ordinary deep forest, rarely visited by people. Apart from local residents occasionally going into the mountains to hunt, dig for medicinal herbs, or cut down some plants that can be sold, no one else comes to this place.
She tied the first lamp she had redeemed from the system to her forehead and used it to light her way into the mountains.
The mountain path at the beginning of the mountain is relatively easy to walk on; some people have even made clean trails.
An hour later, the mountain path began to become steep and complicated. Two hours later, the obvious mountain path had disappeared, but traces of recent passage could still be seen.
There is a road that goes up the mountain along the river.
At 3:30 a.m., Yuan Mengge finally reached a hilltop and saw an orange-yellow firelight coming from a nearby mountain.
When she reached the location of the firelight, she discovered it was a cave, and the firelight was coming from inside the cave.
It's past four in the morning, and there's no movement in the cave except for the flickering firelight.
Yuan Mengge secretly observed the cave entrance and found that there were two people guarding it, but the one on watch was dozing off against the stone wall.
The cave is very deep, and you can't see inside from the outside.
Looking at the two dozing night watchmen at the cave entrance, Yuan Mengge pondered how to silently eliminate them.
If you make a move against one of them, unless you kill it instantly, it might alert the other one.
So she had to find a way to deal with the first one without alerting the other person.
The best approach is to lure one over first.
Yuan Mengge stood in the woods not far away, sizing up the two people.
She picked up a few stones and put them in her pocket, then picked up a stick and climbed up a tree.
Then she sat on the tree, took out a slingshot, put a small stone in the slingshot, pulled it back, and shot it at one of the people.
"Smack—"
Because of the distance, the shot didn't hit the person, but it hit the ground in front of him.
The man was startled awake by the sound of the stone hitting the ground.
"Huh? What?" He rubbed his eyes and looked around.
Just then, he suddenly heard rhythmic tapping sounds coming from the woods not far away.
"Tap—tap-tap—tap—tap-tap—"
Upon hearing this strange sound, the man became curious. What could be making such a rhythmic sound so late at night?
He glanced at his other watchman, who was dozing off, and decided to go check on him himself, while also taking a leak.
However, he never expected that he would never return.
Another watchman, who was dozing off, was suddenly hit on the back of the head with a stone from behind.
I almost met the King of Hell in my sleep.
Yuan Mengge hoisted the two men onto her shoulders, one on each side, and carried them to a cliff more than a kilometer away. There, she tied them up like rice dumplings and hoisted them onto the cliff.
If they wake up, even the slightest movement could cause them to fall and die.
To prevent them from escaping.
These two are just small fry; she has more than a dozen people to catch.
After tying the two people up, she returned to the cave.
This time, no one was at the cave entrance, so she quietly went inside.
This cave was clearly carved by hand; it seems they put a lot of effort into it.
There were some banners hanging in the cave, and some strange runes painted on the walls, making it look quite impressive.
Extending more than ten meters into the cave, a stone door came into view after turning a corner.
They've even built a gate here; it looks like this place has been in use for a long time.
Yuan Mengge walked to the door, but it was tightly closed. She pressed her ear against the door and listened, but couldn't hear anything at all.
She glanced around for two seconds, then left the cave. She found a spot nearby where she could see the cave but also hide, and rested there briefly.
After the pitch-black dawn, a sliver of silvery white slowly rose from the east, then began to dispel the darkness of dawn.
A light white mist rose up in the mountains.
Footsteps echoed from the cave entrance, and Yuan Mengge immediately heard a system notification.
[Wake up, host. Someone's coming out.]
Yuan Mengge opened her eyes and immediately looked towards the cave entrance.
Then a man came out of the cave and looked around curiously.
"Huh? Where did those two go on night watch? Where are they?"
As he spoke, he walked to the side, unzipped his pants, and relieved himself by a bush.
It was still early, so Yuan Mengge glanced at the man and then at the cave, but did not make any rash moves.
After relieving himself, the man pulled up his pants, took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a match.
He then smoked a cigarette while scanning his surroundings, seemingly looking for the two goalkeepers.
However, after scanning for a while, I still didn't see anyone.
He stood at the cave entrance smoking, looking completely bewildered.
After a while, several more people came out of the cave, and then the sound of conversation could be heard.
"Hmm? Where are the two night watchmen?"
"I don't know, I just came out and I haven't seen it."
