131: Chapter 131 Only a madman would dare to enter? Sorry, I'm a pervert!

The night was like ink, with wild winds howling.

The entrance to the Nalenggele Canyon was now cordoned off with a long warning line.

Dozens of military-green armored vehicles were lined up.

Heavily armed soldiers stood like statues in the cold wind.

The beams of searchlights crisscrossed the pitch-black Gobi Desert; not a single rustle could escape their eyes.

Outside the cordon, many 'adventurers' gathered, trying to fish in troubled waters.

Most drove modified off-road vehicles, huddled in groups of three or five, smoking, their eyes greedily fixed on the eerie lightning flashing deep within the canyon.

'Damn, this is sealed off too tightly, right? Not even a fly could get in!'

'What's the rush? I heard the 749 Bureau is personally overseeing this. Whatever's inside isn't simple; let them test the waters first.'

'True. Just now, I saw a team of mercenaries try to force their way in, but they didn't even make it two kilometers before being blown to the sky by some inexplicable landmine... The way they died, tsk tsk.'

Just as everyone was discussing it.

Boom—!

A low, violent engine roar broke the silence of the night.

A black mercedes-benz g-class completely ignored the complex terrain.

Like an out-of-control steel beast, it charged straight toward the military blockade!

'Holy shit! Who is that? Are they looking for death?!'

'Daring to crash a military restricted zone? Do they not want to live?!'

The people around were stunned.

Even the soldiers responsible for the cordon instantly raised their guns.

Black gun barrels aimed in unison at the speeding mercedes-benz g-class.

'Stop! Stop immediately! Otherwise, we will fire!'

A stern warning came from the loudspeaker.

However, the speed of the mercedes-benz g-class did not decrease at all.

Just when everyone thought the car was about to be riddled with bullets.

Screech—!

An emergency brake.

The mercedes-benz g-class stopped steadily less than a meter from the warning line, spraying the sentry in the front with dust.

The car window slowly rolled down.

A slender hand reached out, holding a black ID card, shaking it gently.

'749 Bureau, Special Consultant.'

Su Yang's lazy voice drifted out.

'Open the gate.'

The leading second lieutenant frowned and stepped forward, cautiously taking the ID.

By the light of the searchlight, he saw the embossed seal on the ID, as well as that special emblem known only to a very few high-level officials—the Golden Dragon pattern.

Hiss—!

The second lieutenant gasped, his pupils constricting sharply.

This level of ID was possessed by fewer than five people in all of China!

It was said that every one of them was a 'monster' with heaven-defying abilities!

'Chief... Chief, greetings!'

The second lieutenant gave a standard military salute, his voice trembling with excitement.

'Apologies for the offense just now. Please give your orders, Chief!'

'Alright, enough with the formalities.'

Su Yang took back the ID and pointed to the dark, thunder-rolling area inside.

'How's the situation inside?'

'Reporting, Chief! The situation is not optimistic!'

The second lieutenant reported with a grave expression:

'Since yesterday, the magnetic field anomaly index in the canyon has skyrocketed tenfold! All electronic equipment fails upon entering.'

'The two reconnaissance teams we sent in... have all lost contact.'

'Only a drone sent back a blurry photo before it crashed. It seems... there are signs of biological activity inside.'

'Biological?'

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

'Interesting.'

'Let us through.'

'Yes! Everyone, attention! Let them pass!!'

Following the second lieutenant's order, the heavy roadblocks were quickly moved away. The soldiers, who had been on edge, retreated to both sides, watching the black mercedes-benz g-class drive into the restricted zone with awe.

The 'adventurers' watching from the sidelines had their eyes popping out.

'Holy shit? They just let them in?'

'Who's sitting in that car? Such big Face?'

'749 Bureau Special Consultant? My god, isn't that a legendary existence?'

In the crowd, several Loose Cultivators who had originally planned to sneak in now looked at each other and backed off.

If even a big shot of this level was dispatched, it meant the danger inside was absolutely beyond imagination!

...

The car drove past the warning line, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

If the outside was a desolate Gobi, then this place was simply a dead Hell.

The ground was covered with scorched marks; those were 'lightning-struck stones' left behind after being struck by high-voltage lightning.

The air was filled with a strong smell of ozone, mixed with the stench of rotting corpses, making one want to vomit.

'Boss... the atmosphere here is so oppressive.'

Reba wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Even sitting in the climate-controlled car, she could still feel a chill penetrating her marrow.

'Normal.'

Su Yang held the violently vibrating thunder guiding plate, his eyes looking out the window.

'This place is called the Gate of Hell. Not just because of the lightning, but because this is a natural gathering place for Yin Qi.'

'Lightning is supreme Yang, the earth is supreme Yin.'

'When Yin and Yang clash, a Prodigy must be born.'

Speaking of this, Su Yang glanced at Chu Ling, who had been silent in the back seat.

As a Flying Zombie, she was most sensitive to this environment.

'Chu Ling, how do you feel?'

'Returning to Master.'

Chu Ling frowned slightly, a trace of disgust appearing on her cold, beautiful Face.

'The earth Qi here... is very dirty.'

'Although the Yin Qi is heavy and suitable for me to Cultivate, that thunderous power is like a maggot on the bone, making me very uncomfortable.'

Zombies belong to Yin, and heavenly thunder overcomes evil.

This place where extreme Yin and extreme Yang coexist was both a treasure land and an execution ground for her.

'Endure it.'

Su Yang patted her shoulder.

'When we find the core of the Thunder Pool, I will help you use heavenly thunder for Body Tempering.'

'Although the process will be a bit painful, as long as you endure it, you can get rid of the zombie's weakness of fearing thunder and truly jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements.'

Hearing the words 'heavenly thunder Body Tempering,' Chu Ling's delicate body trembled, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, but it was replaced by more fanaticism.

To be able to always follow this man's footsteps, what was a little pain?

'Yes! Chu Ling understands!'

'Boss! There's a situation ahead!'

Mary, who was driving, suddenly stepped on the brake.

The mercedes-benz g-class stopped abruptly by a dried-up riverbed.

In front, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered on the road.

These people were wearing uniform camouflage, well-equipped; they looked like the reconnaissance team the second lieutenant had mentioned.

But what was weird was.

These corpses had not rotted but had become shriveled like charcoal.

Their skin showed a weird purple-black color, as if something had sucked dry their moisture and blood.

Moreover, their expressions were extremely distorted, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died.

'Tsk tsk, looks like this batch of cannon fodder isn't very good.'

Su Yang pushed the door and got out, walked to a corpse, and kicked it with his toe.

Crack!

The corpse's arm shattered into powder like a crispy biscuit.

'Not lightning-struck.'

Su Yang narrowed his eyes, looking at the two imperceptible small holes on the corpse's neck.

'They were drained of essence and blood, then instantly carbonized by lightning.'

'This method...'

'Boss! Look at that!'

Mary suddenly pointed at a giant rock not far away and screamed.

Su Yang followed her finger.

On that giant rock, which was two stories high, coiled a...

A giant lizard, purple-red all over, with three eyes!

It was lying on the rock, its long, forked tongue flexibly curling up a piece of 'charcoal' on the ground, chewing it crunchily like eating french fries.

'Gulp...'

It swallowed the corpse, and the third eye standing in the middle of its forehead opened suddenly, staring fixedly at Su Yang and the others who had just gotten out of the car.

Zzzzt!

A purple electric current danced crazily in its single eye.

'Ding! Discovered exotic beast [Thunder Fire Demon Lizard] (Mutant species)!'

'Rank: Golden Core Early Stage!'

'Description: A monster mutated from years of devouring lightning-struck wood and biological essence and blood, thick-skinned, immune to lightning attacks, and capable of releasing high-voltage electric arcs.'

'Yo, looks like this is the so-called biological activity.'

Su Yang looked at the lizard full of crumbs, not only not afraid but licked his lips, and took the seven star dragon abyss sword out of the System space.

'Just arrived, and already received such a big gift.'

'Perfect, my sword is hungry too.'

'The skin of this thing should be able to make a few good lightning-resistant leather boots, right?'
