Chapter 135: Chapter 128 Are You There? Check Out the Leg (Please Subscribe)

"The sword is what sword, Young Hero’s Golden Light Sword, the knife is what knife, Hero’s gentle knife, the person is what kind of person, a person Acting for Heaven."

In the night, Duan Yun sat on a hillside, holding swords and knives while humming a song.

Searching for the White Socks Sect had not been successful, especially in the mountainous and watery Yu State, where it was even less friendly towards an outsider Young Hero.

Today, Duan Yun had encountered some living people, but they were all disaster victims.

Not only were they not wearing White Socks, some of them didn’t even have pants.

Tonight there was a moon, and a cold wind blew through the mountains, below the hillside, the river water roared, and the moonlight blurred along with the pine shadows on the riverbank.

It was a beautiful scene.

However, Duan Yun was not in the mood to appreciate it.

He still hadn’t found the White Socks, nor had he killed them.

The road was under his feet; he must continue to move forward.

The disaster-stricken area was much larger than he had imagined, and the terrain was complex.

The White Socks were sneaky, and for a while, did not show any traces.

Duan Yun once again regretted not having captured Su Lizhi, the Goddess Catcher, to come along with him.

Hmm, even if she didn’t want to come, he, as a Young Hero, should have been a bit forceful, slightly coercing her to join him.

As a righteous companion, could she, a Goddess Catcher, decently refuse?

Moreover, during the long night, having a Goddess Catcher together, even if catching nothing, they would be catching nothing together.

Now he couldn’t say he was catching nothing with the Goddess Catcher; he didn’t even have a lead donkey.

"Ouch."

A moment later, Duan Yun still found a righteous companion.

His foot stepped on grass, and a snake attacked him.

This snake was about three feet long, covered in dark green, with a triangular-shaped head that looked slightly poisonous.

"Hmm, is this a green poison dart?"

Duan Yun grabbed the snake, tied it into a knot, and wrapped it around his waist, pondering.

Along the way, the poisonous snake tried to bite him, each time being repelled by Breaking Body Sword Energy, and fine blood seeped from its head.

After several attempts, the snake was too scared to attack again; it wanted to curl up, but Duan Yun had tied it around his waist.

So Duan Yun felt the snakeskin belt tighten a bit.

Under the moonlight, even though the flood had receded, the remnants were obvious.

Duan Yun, with his Extraordinary Wisdom, thought and analyzed: "The bodies in the flood were densely packed before; they must have a designated dumping spot, and the flood came so suddenly and without signs, if it was man-made, it is very likely that someone deliberately broke open a large dammed lake."

"Even the blocked river mouth, someone had tampered with it early on."

Thus, Duan Yun’s gaze quickly followed the trail of the flood toward the direction of the mountain.

The higher he went, the more apparent the erosion marks formed by the water flow became.

There was no path on the mountain originally, with wild grass and trees growing among mud and rocks.

With a snap, Duan Yun picked up the "righteous companion" and whipped it, and the thorny bushes blocking the path were cleared.

The green poison dart whipped the thorns apart, but it also suffered severe injuries itself, its skin split open and only half its life remained.

In the next moment, Duan Yun stood still in place.

He saw a huge trace.

In this trace, there was mostly reddish moist mud, mixed in with some broken bushes and weeds, and quite a few bodies.

Under the night sky, this huge trace looked like a bloody wound on the mountain.

And those bodies in the wound, lay with their eyes wide open.

Some had half their bodies wrapped in the mud, others were entirely covered in moist mud, like sculptures.

Under the moonlight, their appearance with open eyes, as if struggling to climb out from the mud, was both pitiful and horrifying.

The air was permeated with a stench. Duan Yun knew he was close to the place where the bodies were being exhumed...

The deep valley was dense with vegetation on the upper half, still lush green even in this deep autumn, while the lower half of the valley appeared somewhat bare, as if plucked bald, exposing the moist mud.

There was once a lake here, a lake situated atop a mountain.

But now, the lake had transformed into a valley-like appearance due to a massive breach on one side.

The breach was filled with many holes, big and small, looking as if numerous giant pythons had burrowed through, a sight so densely packed it sent shivers down the spine and instilled fear.

The White Socks Sect must have used some special method to create such a large breach.

This breach connected to the giant trail on the mountain below, the place they exhumed bodies.

Perhaps the bodies had already been piled there, just waiting for the break to open to wash down.

Under the moonlight, the mud-filled valley momentarily looked like a realm of ghouls.

When the wind blew, it was as if ghosts were crying.

However, at that moment, Duan Yun spotted some light.

...

A temporary wooden cabin stood somewhere in the valley.

The night was deep, and inside the cabin were lights and people drinking.

Though the cabin was small, it had everything necessary.

Most importantly, there were two very comfortable beds.

Three men and two women were to sleep on these very comfortable beds.

It was apparent that the five people had a harmonious atmosphere, as after all, it was common for brothers and sisters of the White Socks Sect to live and eat together.

"E Sister, how long do you think it will take for our sect to take over Yu State?" asked the girl with twin ponytails.

The woman referred to as "E Sister" smiled gracefully and said, "I think Yu State isn’t as good as Qingzhou, after all, we’ve become more powerful."

"Yeah! Our Divine Sect keeps getting stronger in battle, and sooner or later, Jiu Zhou will be ours. Thinking of more sisters dressing like us in White Socks, I just... hmm!"

While talking, she couldn’t help but touch herself.

"E Sister, stay with me tonight," the girl with twin ponytails pleaded.

"Okay, sure, there shouldn’t be any major issues here. According to common sense..."

Her words were cut off by a whimpering wind that made the lamp on the table flicker.

They were accustomed to the howling wind that sounded like ghostly cries, but at this moment, one of the men suddenly became alert and said, "What’s that sound?"

Hearing him, the others sobered up considerably.

The wind now seemed not only to contain the cries of ghosts but also voices of people.

As followers of the White Socks Sect who had killed many, they normally wouldn’t be afraid.

However, this was after all deep in the secluded woods, and there were far too many dead this time; the image of swollen bodies floating with the stream was a memorable sight.

So, hearing this eerie sound, the five of them grew anxious.

"Could it be Li messing with us?" one of the men wondered.

"Let’s go have a look," said the girl with twin ponytails while still touching herself, as she walked towards the window.

The closer she got to the door and windows, the more distinct the strange wind sound became, and her self-touching frequency increased.

This indicated how nervous he was.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

Everything returned to normal.

Unable to help herself, the girl with twin ponytails let out a sigh of relief, only then to find the other four looking at her in panic.

Her whole body bristled with fear, and as she glanced, she nearly lost half her soul.

Outside the window, suddenly, there appeared a handsome face.

Very handsome, yet terrifying in this night.

Then, this face spoke, "Are you there? Let’s see those legs!"
