153: Chapter 153 Steel Beast Crushes Poisonous Miasma

"Hum!"

Fatty Wang pressed a red button.

Directly in front of the george patton's hood, that thick, solid steel ram suddenly ejected.

On the surface of the ram, circles of intricate golden runes lit up.

That was the Evil-Warding Curse personally drawn by Lin Ye using Pure Yang True Blood and top-grade cinnabar.

Fatty pressed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.

The off-road vehicle let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the twelve-cylinder engine erupted with terrifying torque.

The steel behemoth, like a charging rhinoceros, rushed forward directly pushing against the mutated black bear on the hood.

The Pure Yang Evil-Warding Curse erupted instantly the moment it contacted the black bear's corpse.

"Hiss!"

A golden light flashed, and that gigantic mutated corpse-bear didn't even have a chance to struggle.

Under the crushing of the steel ram, its hard bones made a cracking sound.

The Pure Yang fire burrowed into its body along the wounds, instantly burning those disgusting purple poisonous mushrooms into ashes.

The off-road vehicle didn't pause at all, directly crushing the burning bear corpse beneath its wheels.

The tires rolled over the charred flesh and blood, continuing to speed forward wildly.

"Awesome!"

Fatty Wang slapped the steering wheel and laughed loudly.

This thrill of crushing demons and ghosts while sitting inside an iron turtle was simply unparalleled.

But this was only the beginning.

As the off-road vehicle continued deeper, more and more monsters appeared in the thick fog.

There were huge baboons covered in green hair all over their bodies.

There were rotting giant pythons, as thick as a water bucket, entwined around tree trunks.

And there were some deformed monsters whose original appearance could not be recognized at all, completely pieced together from rotting flesh and broken bones.

Attracted by the engine sound of the george patton, they surged from all directions like a tide, attempting to block the footsteps of this steel behemoth.

If it were an ordinary expedition team facing a corpse-beast horde of this scale, they would have long been torn to pieces along with their vehicle.

But Lin Ye didn't even have the interest to make a move.

Fatty Wang incarnated into a merciless driving machine.

The off-road vehicle's ram continuously ejected, and the Pure Yang runes flashed with golden light in the thick fog.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull crashing sounds were endless.

Severed limbs flew wildly outside the car windows, and black foul blood splattered all over the bulletproof glass.

The anti-corpse poison coating sprayed on the off-road vehicle's chassis played a huge role.

The venom sprayed onto it would turn into a wisp of white smoke and dissipate the moment it touched the chassis, completely unable to corrode the internal structure of the vehicle.

It lasted for a full half hour.

Finally.

The terrain ahead changed.

The wide dirt road disappeared, and a primeval vine forest so dense that even sunlight couldn't penetrate it appeared.

Those vines were as thick as a human arm, intertwined together to form a natural green wall.

The huge body of the off-road vehicle simply couldn't pass through.

Fatty Wang stepped on the brake.

The vehicle stopped amidst a pile of crushed corpse debris.

The ram at the front of the car was still dripping with foul-smelling black water.

"There is no road left. This vine wall is too dense; if we crash through it hard, we might get stuck inside," Fatty Wang turned his head and reported.

Lin Ye pushed open the car door, and a strong stench of decay hit his face.

He stepped on the muddy ground full of black blood, scanning the vine forest ahead with his gaze.

Leng Yue and Frost Star also got out of the car.

Ayugu was the last to walk down.

Looking at the corpse-beasts crushed by the off-road vehicle around her, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This Boss Lin's style of doing things truly took the four words "violent demolition" to the absolute extreme.

"This place is already the outer edge of Death Valley."

Ayugu walked up to that vine wall and observed it carefully.

She pointed to some hidden logging marks at the roots of the vines.

"Boss, look, this vine wall has been artificially broken open. The cuts are very fresh, and there is a strong smell of incense ash."

Lin Ye stepped forward, his Pure Yang Double Eyes activating.

In the microscopic vision that ordinary people couldn't perceive,

he clearly saw that behind the vine wall that had been cut open and healed again, a large amount of motley Yin Qi remained.

The most eye-catching among them was a dragging trace about two meters wide and deep into the ground.

The surface of the trace was covered with a layer of black frost.

That was the crystal left behind wherever extreme Yin objects passed.

"They are people from the Yellow Springs Market."

Lin Ye's tone was resolute.

"They cut open the vines. That huge bronze coffin is too heavy to lift, so they could only drag it across the ground forcefully. That's why they left such a deep trace."

He turned his head and looked at Fatty.

"Park the car right here, turn on the defense system, and keep watch inside the car. If you encounter anything you can't handle, use the high-beam lights on the front of the car to send a signal directly."

Fatty Wang nodded, knowing that the upcoming road was not something he could participate in.

He patted the boning knife at his waist, retreated into the cab, and locked the car doors.

Lin Ye slung his tactical backpack over his shoulder: "Leng Yue, clear the way."

Leng Yue walked to the airtight vine wall and slowly raised her right hand.

A dark red Red Lotus Karmic Fire bloomed in her palm.

But the moment she pressed her palm against the vines,

"Boom!"

the entire green vine wall was like encountering several thousand degrees of magma.

Starting from the point where her palm touched, the dark red flames spread wildly in a ring all around.

Those extremely tough primitive old vines that were difficult to cut even with knives and axes

under the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, directly turned into fine gray powder.

In less than three seconds,

a huge gap five meters wide and three meters high appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Lin Ye took the lead in stepping across the gap.

Leng Yue and Frost Star followed closely behind.

Ayugu tightly gripped the bamboo tube in her hand, carefully following at the very back.

Crossing the vine wall,

the scene before her made Ayugu stop in her tracks immediately.

The fog here had completely turned into a bizarre dark red.

The soil on the ground presented a morbid purple-black, with not a blade of grass growing.

The air was permeated with a fishy smell similar to aged stagnant pools mixed with rust.

Moreover, on both sides of the two-meter-wide dragging trace ahead,

densely knelt over a hundred animal mummies!

There were wolves, wild boars, and a few huge white-browed tigers with hanging eyes.

They maintained a bizarre worship posture.

Their heads were deeply buried in the purple-black mud, facing the direction where the dragging trace extended.

The moisture and Qi-blood in their bodies had been completely drained, and their fur clung tightly to their bones.

It was as if they were instantly sucked into specimens by some terrifying entity.

"Ten thousand beasts worship Yin... vitality is severed..."

Ayugu's face was pale, and her voice was trembling.

"Boss, what kind of monster is actually packed inside that huge bronze coffin?"

"Just the aura emanating from it can make these mountain beasts that have opened their spiritual wisdom kneel and offer sacrifices."

Lin Ye did not answer. He walked up to a white tiger mummy, extended two fingers, and gently tapped on the shriveled tiger skin.

"Snap."

The tiger skin shattered like a fragile eggshell.

Inside it was empty, and even the internal organs had turned into black ash.

Lin Ye stood up and brushed off the dust on his fingertips.

"No matter what it is, the bigger the pretentious setup, the better it feels to hack it."

He drew the lightning-struck peach wood sword from his waist, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Keep going. Dragging such a heavy coffin, they can't walk fast; they are not far ahead."

The four of them quickly moved through the dark red fog along the dragging trace covered with black frost.

The further forward they went, the lower the surrounding temperature became.

The red fog was extremely thick, with visibility of less than three meters.

"Tap. Tap. Tap."

Subtle footsteps sounded deep in the fog.

Lin Ye stopped immediately.

He raised his left hand, signaling everyone to stop moving forward.

Leng Yue instantly entered combat mode.

She blocked in front of Lin Ye, her dark golden pupils staring closely ahead.

Frost Star licked her lips and tightly gripped her bone knife.

The footsteps became denser and denser, surrounding them from all directions.
