Chapter 758: Chapter 758 Early Birds Catch the Worms_1

About three hours’ drive, you continuously tried to chat with Zhao’er on the way. Although her responses were slow and she often lost track of the conversation, you still made an effort.

After getting off the highway, you reached a small town at the foot of Kuocang Mountain. Before leaving Yuhang, you had already prepared plenty of food, so you didn’t linger in the town and headed straight for the winding mountain road, as indicated by the navigation.

Nine twists and eighteen turns—this was your first impression of the mountain roads of Kuocang Mountain.

Moreover, with the large size of the Ye Xiao’s body, the already narrow mountain road felt even narrower.

Fortunately, there weren’t many cars on the mountain path. Although the drive was cautious and a bit strenuous, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, you ultimately reached the mountaintop.

Kuocang Mountain is known as the highest peak in the southeast and indeed has its unique aspects. The mountain is tall and perilous, and as you stand at the peak looking into the distance, a sense of "overlooking all the other small mountains" naturally wells up within you.

Many huge wind turbines used for power generation stand at the top of the mountain range, and there are also many hikers and campers around.

You did not deliberately approach them but instead parked the car in a slightly secluded corner and sat inside, observing the surroundings.

Before coming to Kuocang Mountain, you thought this place would be like the mountain ranges in the northwest area of Yuhang, rich in nature’s spiritual energy or even possibly containing the Original True Qi.

However, after closing your eyes and sensing for a while, you discovered the spiritual energy at the top of Kuocang Mountain was even less than that of the countryside and small towns on flat ground.

Perhaps it was due to the constant strong winds here; the vegetation was sparse, and the grass and bushes short, at least a descent of over a hundred meters was needed before you could see dense forests.

Moreover, such conditions were not limited to the main peak—many of the peaks in the mountain range were the same.

On the way to the top, the vegetation you saw consisted mostly of bamboo, and it was in large patches, no less.

Bamboo attracts shade, and the presence of large patches of bamboo made you feel somewhat strange.

The mountain ranges in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region have always had a high vegetation coverage, with a wide variety and orderly growth. It was quite rare to see large expanses of bamboo like in Kuocang Mountain.

At the same time, you quickly ruled out the possibility that locals planted the bamboo as a cash crop, as many of the bamboo patches were growing in places out of human reach.

It seems Kuocang Mountain is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Kuocang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and because you are unfamiliar with the terrain, and many of the peaks are steep without roads, you do not know the exact location of the Mount Mao Sect’s branch entrance.

Just as you were about to use the Sen Luo Eye to observe, you suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on you from not far away.

Immediately, you rolled down the window and turned to look in that direction.

A man, dressed quite ordinarily but with a somewhat alternative style that seemed out of the mainstream. Yet, he was clearly much older than the typical non-mainstream age group. He must have been at least thirty, his face was not ugly but not good-looking either; looking at him for too long caused a twitch in the corner of your eye.

What caught your attention the most was that this fellow actually wore makeup!

A man wearing makeup!

But he didn’t seem like a sissy, which was indeed strange.

What surprised you was that this odd person walked towards you, his eyes fixed on you the whole time, and he had a smile on his face that made you want to punch him even more.

You frowned, opened the car door from the mirror side, and stepped out.

"Hehehehe..." After a series of strange laughs, he spoke in heavily accented Chinese, "It’s Li Muyun, isn’t it?"

"You know me?" You couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow.

The man’s voice was grating, like the sound of two stones grinding against each other: "Of course, I know you, I just didn’t expect you to show up at this time and also..."

As he spoke, the man sized you up again, his smile growing more grotesque: "You’re much weaker than I imagined. It seems that prize money is destined to be mine. Indeed, the ancient Chinese saying is right, ’the early bird catches the worm,’ hehehe..."

You paused, then laughed: "Oh, so that makes you the bird, right?"

"Of course!"

The man’s aura suddenly increased, and then a green poisonous snake emerged from his sleeve, flicking its blood-red tongue at you.

"Yo, Three-edged Bamboo Leaf Green, nourishing stuff, huh? Yep, not bad, looks like we’re having snake soup tonight."

While speaking, sixteen yellow and eight orange Cinnabar Talismans flew out from your pocket, swiftly forming a spiral array above the man’s head, completely enveloping him within the Array!

The man’s expression became noticeably sluggish for a moment, not expecting your actions to be so fast!

Almost immediately, the Sen Luo Curse Mark flickered into existence within the pupil of your left eye.

"All Forms of Sen Luo, Domination."

The sixteen yellow charms glowed with a golden light, forming a huge bell-shaped silhouette. Then, the golden light interwove to create a semi-transparent golden clock, firmly trapping the man inside.

Furthermore, the eight orange Cinnabar Amulets circled slightly at the top of the golden clock, with thunder light faintly coiling on the surface of the talismans!

To put it bluntly, the man’s strength was very weak, so weak that even he wasn’t clear how capable he actually was.

The main reason for trapping him instead of attacking was to clearly inquire about a few matters.

"Bang!"

The man smashed his fist against the golden clock and ended up in so much pain he was nearly in tears.

"Let me out! Let’s have a fair fight!" the man, clutching his fist, shot a resentful gaze at you.

Without a word, you stretched out your hand and snapped your fingers in the air before you.

A crisp "snap" was heard.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder exploded out of nowhere!

After the blinding flash of lightning, a dark pit shockingly appeared on the flat ground next to the golden clock!

"Now, do you still want to fight me?"

You looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

The man’s face was gloomy, and he stared at you without saying a word.

Yeah, he’s still pretty cocky!

"Snap!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down ferociously, hitting the man directly!

From head to toe, the man was struck stiff as a board, rigidly falling backward, his head even hitting the golden clock with a "clack."

"How about now, still feeling tough?"

You smiled continually as you looked at the man.

"I..."

The man had barely started to speak when he spat out a puff of black smoke, followed by seven colorful poisonous snakes wriggling out of his sleeves, three of which flipped over halfway through.

"Don’t, don’t kill me, I was just here to join in the fun."

As he spoke, the man glanced over at his companions, but those "spectators" who had seemed a bit restless at first instantly turned away, chatting and barbecuing on their own as if they truly came here just to enjoy the scenery.
