Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 168: Chapter 164: Mysterious Deceitful Demon (Part 2)

If the young sister-in-law is unwilling to hand over the person, then we can only forcefully snatch them.

Now, they only saw Lin Yuan himself, so this action squad didn’t play much of a role.

Lin Yuan asked, ”How did you guys get here?”

It’s not close from Emperor Dragon City to Deceit Village!

Lin Yuan could use the Yellow Springs Road to quickly reach Emperor Dragon City, but there are too many people here.

Performing Yellow Springs Road himself is fine, but forcibly taking so many people along on Yellow Springs Road is a bit much.

”Armed helicopter.”

”Low altitude flight, avoiding known Deceitful Demons, there weren’t any major dangers on the way!” Han Kun responded.

Having a means of transport is best, he can just follow them back.

Anyway, the conference in Emperor Dragon City won’t end any time soon, they’re not in a rush.

...

...

The armed helicopter flies at low altitude, and on its journey, it avoids some known Deceitful Demons.

Of course, this is relatively safe, not absolutely safe.

Occasionally, they still encounter attacks when entering territories of evil spirits and deceitful charms.

But as long as it’s not Tier Five Evil Spirits with Deceitful Demon, they can easily deal with it.

As they fly, a faint layer of mist begins to appear on the armed helicopter’s glass.

At first, everyone didn’t pay much attention to it.

Since the eerie invasion, the climate has become more volatile, and some powerful evil spirits themselves have the ability to alter the climate in certain areas.

A slight mist is normal, it’s not a big deal, as long as it’s not extreme weather or an active attack by evil spirits, it won’t affect their formation.

However, soon things start to get a bit unsettling.

The mist outside becomes increasingly thick, and when the mist reaches a certain density, it’s no longer white but a pitch-black, ink-like mist.

Let me put it this way.

Such a color of mist, even back when Emperor Dragon City was plagued by smog, it didn’t exist.

”Captain, we can’t continue flying!”

”We must make an emergency landing now, it’s impossible to discern direction!” The action squad member at the helm said.

”Sigh!” Han Kun let out a heavy sigh and said in a solemn voice, ”Let’s land.”

It’s really been a series of twists and turns!

They didn’t encounter any unexpected events on the way there and successfully found Lin Yuan.

Who would have thought there would be special circumstances on the way back.

The armed helicopter forcefully lands, the landing site is amidst a mountain forest.

The mist on the ground is slightly thinner than in the air, but visibility is still less than five meters.

”Where roughly is this?” Han Kun asked the squad member piloting the armed helicopter.

The member recalled their position before the mist, made an estimate, and replied, ”The distance to Emperor Dragon City should be over two hundred kilometers remaining.”

Two hundred kilometers, not too long and not too short.

Upon hearing this answer, Han Kun frowned and discussed with Lin Yuan, ”Mr. Lin, the remaining journey can only be traveled by land.”

”First, we need to walk out of this thick mist, and then, after leaving the forest, we’ll find a car, and can drive back.”

In the dense mist, there might be unknown dangers, such as evil spirits lurking within, or hazards like crashing into mountain peaks, large trees, etc.

The dense mist blocks prior sight, making it impossible to warn in advance, so they can only abandon the armed helicopter.

Switching to more secure land routes, under these circumstances, they can only walk out of the mist before finding other means of transportation.

This place is close to Emperor Dragon City, which is their territory, therefore Lin Yuan has no objections to Han Kun’s proposal.

”As the guest follows the host.”

”We’ll follow Captain Han’s arrangements!” Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Seeing Lin Yuan agree, Han Kun immediately had his men surround Lin Yuan and start moving forward.

Though he knew Lin Yuan’s strength far surpassed theirs, they still actively took on the outer defense duties, keeping Lin Yuan protected in the inner circle.

The mission of this action squad was to find Lin Yuan and safely bring him back to Emperor Dragon City.

Therefore, facing the possible unknown dangers within the mist, they must ensure Lin Yuan’s safety, even at the cost of their own lives.

Undoubtedly, being an action squad from Emperor Dragon City, their disciplinary aspect is beyond reproach.

The surrounding mist is considerable, though not to the point of being unable to see one’s hand in front of them, visibility is absolutely less than five meters.

Moreover, as time progresses, this black mist becomes increasingly dense.

Due to the temporary landing, they are not quite sure where they are now, only having a rough location in mind.

The mountain path is very rugged, surrounded by dense woods, coupled with the pitch-black-in-ink mist.

This road is far more difficult for them than the path they’ve been taking.

The group traverses through the mountain forest, with Han Kun and his men fanning out to protect Lin Yuan and Zhang Zhen in the middle, moving forward.

Initially entering the forest, it wasn’t very dense, but as they continued, they became more confused, and the surrounding woods grew denser.

They seem to have entered an endless, broad expanse of primordial forest, unable to find their way out.

”Wait!”

”Let’s stop for a moment?” Lin Yuan suddenly called out to halt Han Kun and the others.

The group quickly stopped, gathering around Lin Yuan, with Han Kun impatiently asking, ”Mr. Lin, did you discover something?”

Discover something?

Lin Yuan had already noticed the anomaly.

Since the armed helicopter forced the landing, they had been advancing in the mist for more than half an hour.

Though the mist was thick and they weren’t moving very fast, their speed was far faster than an ordinary person’s full-speed run.

In half an hour, they had traversed at least twenty to thirty miles in the forest.

Even so, they showed no signs of leaving the mist, instead the deeper they went, the thicker the mist became, with the surrounding trees growing even more lush.

”Emperor Dragon City is in the north of Dragon Country, according to what you said, it’s only two or three hundred li from Emperor Dragon City, it should still be the north.”

”But look at the environment around you, do you think this looks like the north?” Lin Yuan asked Han Kun.

At those words, Han Kun and his men changed their expressions.

Indeed, this environment doesn’t resemble the north, instead it looks more like the south, or even a tropical rainforest.

They had traversed for half an hour, at least twenty, thirty, forty miles, around the two hundred kilometers vicinity of Emperor Dragon City, which is mostly modern cities, there shouldn’t be such a vast primordial forest.

”Mr. Lin means we’ve unknowingly entered a Deceitful Demon?” Han Kun asked tentatively.

If this vast forest didn’t originally belong to Dragon Country’s territory.

Then, there’s only one possibility, that this place is shrouded by a Deceitful Demon.

Lin Yuan nodded and said solemnly, ”It seems there’s only this possibility now.”

”Our luck is a bit bad, we’ve happened to stumble into a newly emerged Deceitful Demon.”

In fact, Han Kun had been suspecting this all along, not stating it only to maintain morale.

Now, with Lin Yuan clarifying the situation, Han Kun followed up with a question for Lin Yuan, ”Mr. Lin, do you have any solutions?”

Generally, the way to deal with a Deceitful Demon is to find its rules and then break them.

However, breaking the Deceitful Demon requires time.

The mission of Han Kun’s action squad is to find Lin Yuan and safely return him to Emperor Dragon City.

Breaking the Deceitful Demon isn’t part of their mission scope.

Now, Han Kun and the team just want to quickly leave here.

Breaking the Deceitful Demon and slaying the Tier Five Evil Spirits controlling it, indeed grants a line of Power of Rules.

However, Lin Yuan currently has little need for the Power of Rules from Tier Five Evil Spirits. So Lin Yuan doesn’t want to waste time here.

”Let’s leave this place first!”

”I have a way to take you out.” With this thought, Lin Yuan prepared to forcibly use the power of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo to take everyone away.

But...

When Lin Yuan prepared to use the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo, he found that its power suddenly failed.

This Deceitful Demon unexpectedly restrains the ”No Distance” rule of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo?
