Chapter 258 “Him”
The strange NPC who was a tourist was frightened and rushed out of the mountain temple screaming, but the villagers reacted differently.
After witnessing dozens of villagers being blown beyond recognition or having their limbs scattered by grenades, these villagers only showed a brief moment of stunned silence before expressing strong hostility towards Lin Jiu.
Hmm...that angry expression is quite spot on.
"Ah, I don't have time to waste with you, hurry up, get out of the way."
Listening to the sound of the helicopter getting closer and closer, Lin Jiu waved his hand in disgust.
Meanwhile, the gaming system reappeared.
[Mission Change: Please escape from Yinshan Village within 1 hour and be picked up by the Weird Security Company.]
Great, now it's a battle royale game.
Dude, is this still a rule quirk? What the hell is going on here?
Despite all the complaints, Charles and the others who received the notification from the game system immediately ran down the mountain.
Because these villagers were too annoying, Lin Jiu blew the Weird Security Company's exclusive whistle. The next second after blowing the whistle, a communicator appeared in front of Lin Jiu.
As a result of the chain reaction, the mysterious security company was completely involved in this matter.
Therefore, the game missions were changed.
However, although the support personnel can arrive within five minutes due to the strange props, they are also limited by the power of the strange props, and their actions can only revolve around Lin Jiu.
Because Lin Jiu's request was only to stop or eliminate the villagers who were in the way, not much support was sent. Through the feedback from the game system, he knew that there were two armed helicopters and two fully staffed execution teams.
....Wait, that's not right!
Attack helicopters?! Lin Jiu carefully recalled the attack helicopters he had seen in real life, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
I'm suppressing fire.
The fully armed men who descended from the sky successfully intimidated the villagers present, but in just a second, they transformed from human form into twisted monsters, and the polluted aura on their bodies soared in a straight line.
Lin Jiu: .....
Suddenly I understood why there were two attack helicopters.
"Ah... Well, you guys do your best, I'll go steal the tower." Lin Jiu said, and nimbly passed through the execution team members, and entered the temple through a path he had forced his way out.
But Lin Jiuyou noticed that these villagers did not try to stop him.
The moment he stepped into the temple, Lin Jiu felt as if he had entered a different space. All the noisy sounds disappeared at that moment, and the whole world was quiet.
There was no one in the empty hall, only the sound of Lin Jiu's footsteps echoed.
Looking back, the entrance and exit were still there, but it was pitch black.
Lin Jiu didn't care. He slowly moved forward and saw the "statue" looming in the dim candlelight.
Atop a rockery carved from black rock sat a smiling "woman" with flowing hair. "Her" lowered her eyes, smiling lovingly, as if gazing at Lin Jiu. Her long skirt cascaded down, and her hands appeared to be holding something. A closer look revealed that she wasn't looking at Lin Jiu, but at her palms.
Through the details of the carving, Lin Jiu confirmed that the mountain god before him was a man and a woman. This was completely different from what he had expected, too full of divinity to be incompatible with this strange world.
Lin Jiu walked forward, looked at the table full of tributes, raised his brows slightly, and then without saying a word, raised his hand and overturned the table.
The clanging sound echoed in the temple. Lin Jiu slowly put down his hand and looked up.
Along with slight cracking sounds, large cracks began to appear on the surface of the statue and it gradually fell off. Lin Jiu slowly stepped back and tensed his body.
【In an invincible state...】
【Ten, nine, eight, seven...】
The prompt was thoughtful and helped Lin Jiu mark the invincibility time of the statue in front of him.
As the countdown ended, the dirt on the statue's surface fell away. Lin Jiu reacted quickly, drawing his sword and slashing forward, aiming for the mountain god's neck. Vine-like branches also appeared at the same time, splattering a green, sticky liquid. Without hesitation, Lin Jiu dodged the dangerous liquid.
The liquid flowing out from the broken branches fell and corroded the ground like sulfuric acid, emitting a faint pungent smell.
Lin Jiu moved his wrist. Although the mountain god reacted quickly, he still left a conspicuous scar on the white neck, but there was no bleeding.
Lin Jiuyuan thought that the mountain god would be angry, but unexpectedly, the smile on his face remained, and the compassion between his eyebrows was like that of a bodhisattva.
——If he ignored the full malice directed at him, Lin Jiu would really think that this was a clear stream in some weird world.
"Why not, my bride?"
An ethereal, gentle voice sounded in my mind.
"Huh?" Lin Jiu frowned. "Don't talk in other people's heads casually. It's disgusting. Besides, I'm not a bride."
The mountain god shook his head slightly, "You are."
After he finished speaking, “He” gently raised his hand, and countless vine-like branches grew out from the ground.
"Him" floated in the air, and the smile on his face became increasingly fake.
"You...must die."
“He” said so.
In the live broadcast room, the camera was raised in an instant.
In the picture, countless branches were like poisonous snakes, pouncing towards Lin Jiu flexibly and at an astonishing speed.
They intertwined in the air, forming an impenetrable net in an instant. Lin Jiu dodged the first few branches and with a flick of his knife, he easily severed the approaching branches.
Lin Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to dodge flexibly.
He tried several times to make the branches entwine together, but the branches broke off by themselves the moment they entangled and regenerated in an instant.
Lin Jiu's expression remained unchanged. He stopped dodging and began to approach the mountain god.
A cold light flashed, and countless branches were cut off.
Affected by the highly aggressive contaminants in the knife, the severed branches failed to regenerate quickly and either rotted quickly or became unable to move.
Faced with such a situation, the mountain god's smile remained unchanged.
More branches broke through the ground and they actively entangled with each other. The branches formed were harder and more resilient than the previous ones. Branches thicker than forearms rushed straight towards Lin Jiu's face.
But the speed is slower than before.
Lin Jiu bent down slightly, turned his wrist, and the knife in his hand pierced the branch.
He didn't pull out the knife, but instead supported himself with one hand, showing amazing flexibility and flipping over lightly and quickly. Lin Jiu tightly gripped the knife handle, dodging the attacks of other branches while running forward, driving the blade into the branch, attempting to split it in two.
Looking at the branches whose number had not decreased, Lin Jiu thought for a short while, then came up with something. He jumped lightly, successfully avoiding the branches that were piercing the ground from top to bottom, and stepped on several branches in a row.
As light as a cat.
