Chapter 606: Chapter 10 Fairy Town

Once the countdown ended and white light flickered, forty-five survivors were teleported outside a picturesque small town. If it was in the real world, it would undoubtedly attract tens of millions of tourists each year and be the desired spot for the wealthy to buy properties. Now though, each one of them wore a grim expression, as if the sky was about to collapse down.

As the characters of the widely known television drama, one that even three-year-old children could recognize, the survivors were naturally familiar with the monk Tang Monk and his three disciples. If they were supposed to follow behind these guys to exorcise demons and accumulate experience, everyone would feel at ease. Ignoring the magnitude of talent of the river-sand-demon and the pig-demon, even the Monkey King, who caused great disturbances in the heavenly palace, could easily clear all obstacles. But now they are to oppose them.

"Isn’t this a joke? With a Golden Cudgel of eighty-thousand kilograms smashing down, who can withstand it?" Chu Baichuan looked at his pregnant wife; his face was filled with sympathy. The two had quarreled over an abortion, but in the end, they didn’t reach an agreement and the topic was dropped.

"We’re stealing scriptures, not killing the monkey," Lu Fan corrected, tiptoeing to peek into the small town.

"Put on the protective clothing first." Tang Zheng roared out a sentence. He tested the equipment and found that the power armor was indeed restricted. He couldn’t summon the war chariot either, but at least the Velociraptor Mount could still be used, lifting his spirits slightly.

Among the newbies who entered the game, there were only five women. They were too shy to change clothes in public, all of them standing still.

"What’s there to be ashamed of? Aren’t we all born naked and leave the world with no concerns?" A male prisoner, who came off pale due to chronic anemia, jested while his gaze was fixed on the buttocks of three Italian women. "Foreign women indeed have good figures. Look at their chests and buttocks, just like basketballs."

"You guys be careful, this guy is a rapist. He committed five crimes in one month, resulting in two deaths." The armed police captain continued to expose the crimes of the prisoners. No wonder no one dared to interrupt. He himself was also a killer.

"Do you die if you talk less? Believe it or not, I can bust your chrysanthemum?" The pale-faced man stared threateningly at the armed police captain, clutching a Nepalese curved knife tightly.

The armed police captain glared back unwillingly.

"Do you have the energy to argue? Then go scout. Anti-drug police, armed police captain, drug dealers, and the twelve escaped prisoners, come with me into the town. The rest of you stay put." Tang Zheng took out the Demon Slaying Holy Flame, loading the magazine while walking towards the town, about a hundred meters away.

Upon being singled out, Li Yulong frowned and signaled to a little brother named Wu Dong. He saw that this young man was trying to eliminate unstable elements in the team and solidify his status.

"Hey, don’t just pretend to be something you’re not. We don’t mind helping, but you better show some abilities, okay?" Wu Dong was holding a Benelli M4 shotgun. When he was involved in the underworld, his dream was to hold a five-round hunting shotgun to the enemy’s head, then make them kneel and sing ’Conquer Me’. But ever since he accidentally killed someone, he didn’t have the opportunity to do so. Now, seeing the weapons provided by Trojan, he naturally chose the shotgun.

Not just him, all seven prisoners chose the shotgun. It was easy to use, and you didn’t need to aim much. Even an idiot could use it. They knew their limitations. An AK47 was not something that could hit the target immediately after you got it. Playing CS still required practice, let alone real guns.

Wu Dong had a canvas bullet chain on his back, filled with 12-gauge shells. Clad in a dirty gray prison uniform, his imposing look was quite intimidating.

"You need a smack down," Lu Fan jumped out, his one hand behind his back, acting like an expert. "I’ll make you use one hand."

"Are you looking down on me?" Wu Dong’s face turned dark. He stared at Tang Zheng and, with a crisp sound, pulled the tactical handguard, loading the shotgun.

Li Yulong wasn’t brainless. He noticed that the others were not worried about this seven or eight-year-old little loli at all, clearly relying on someone.

"You want to see my skills? You’ll know once we enter the town. Why, are twelve of you scared of me alone?" Tang Zheng’s indifferent gaze swept over these prisoners. First, he had to make cannon fodder out of them. Otherwise, the team would never be stable.

"Alright, you’ve got guts," Li Yulong pretended to commend him. He initially wanted to request to leave some people behind, but considering that it wouldn’t benefit him, he simply gave up. It was safer for the twelve people to stick together. Besides, this boss didn’t worry about them being won over by Tang Zheng. As prisoners, they were shackled. Even if the other party claimed to trust you, would you dare to take the risk?

"Captain, I’ll go with you." A young soldier from the armed police was still passionately eager to follow the captain into the town while the other two were much more cautious.

The armed police captain looked at Tang Zheng, he also needed some assistance.

"Whatever." Tang Zheng tossed a walkie-talkie to Qin Yan and took the lead towards the town. While walking, he took out a tactical vest from his wristwatch and put it on, then hung a bullet chain across his shoulder.

"How come your bullets are different?" The drug dealer Huang Jiayuan walked beside Tang Zheng, trying to cosy up to him. This man was of average build with a wide face and big ears. His smile was amiable; if it wasn’t for the confrontation with the anti-drug police, no one would have ever guessed his identity.

Wu Dong’s eyes immediately turned towards them. The cartridges on Tang Zheng’s body were painted with green runes and looked pretty good.

"These are bullets specially made to kill spirits." Tang Zheng revealed some common knowledge. He wanted to intimidate them so they wouldn’t act rashly. Meanwhile, he was breathing in the air deeply. It was too fresh, evoking feelings of a calm, mountain rain. The air rejuvenated him instantly as he inhaled it into his lungs.

The small town was tranquil, penetrated by a five hundred meters long stone slab path. The streets were empty of people. Had it not been for the occasional sound of some local dialect being spoken, Tang Zheng would have thought this was a dead town.

"It looks like Tang-Song dynasty architecture. Look, that there should be the inn. Even the signboard flag is hanging. Beautiful, it’s too beautiful." Gazing at the big seal character fluttering high in the wind on the flag, Huang Jiayuan indulged in the scene, simultaneously showcasing his vast knowledge as he introduced it to everyone.

"There are people inside." What Scar Liu Hong cared about was something else, "And I’m also hungry."

"Dare you to eat the food here?" The man with the pale face licked the corner of his mouth, teasing, "What if they’re all demons?"

"Why not go in and see?" Wang Tao snorted coldly, taking the lead to enter. Even though Trojan’s explanation was mysterious, they simply didn’t believe it. They felt it must be a dream, or they were hypnotized.

"They must be using us for experimentation, but when did they catch us?" The bespectacled prisoner’s eyes flickered, he waited until his prison buddies were halfway into the inn before following.

"Gentlemen, are you here for a meal or to stay?" A waiter dressed in an ancient suit was wiping a table. Seeing Tang Zheng enter, he immediately draped a white towel over his shoulder, rushed over with a smile, talking in a standard round tone that didn’t affect communication.

"Haha, the acting is quite realistic, are you a drama school graduate?" Huang Jiayuan swept his gaze over the four tables of customers in the lobby, all of whom were in ancient dress, totaling eight men and five women.

"We will have five pounds of cooked beef and ten pounds of wine" The pale-faced man, Mo Cong sat next to the wooden table, ordered the food with a smile, "I’ve seen bandits act tough in historical dramas and wanted to try it once. It feels tremendous indeed. It’s a pity I don’t have any money in my pocket, otherwise, I could make some noise."

The waiter stood aside, unmoving.

"Aren’t you going?" Wang Tao sat down next to the table, yelling with an unhappy face.

"Sir, you haven’t paid yet. Our small inn has been doing not so well recently, we need to pre-pay for the food." The waiter still had a smiling face, bending his waist three inches lower.

Mo Cong couldn’t keep up his act and his face turned embarrassingly red.

"Go, just put up a few dishes, and also for the other tables, it’s on me." Tang Zheng pulled out a gold bar and threw it at the waiter, who immediately went off radiantly.

The customers at the other four tables thanked Tang Zheng, ignoring their odd attire.

"May I ask what is this place?" Tang Zheng was not treating them to a meal for no reason.

"This is a hundred miles away from the Wuzhuang Temple! Gentlemen, heed my advice, further ahead lies the White Bone Mountain. As the saying goes, where the mountain is high, there are sure to be demons. If you are travelling, be careful." An ancient man kindly advised.

"Thank you." Tang Zheng thanked him and sat back down at the wooden table.

"The name sounds like the lair of the White Boney Demon." Huang Jiayuan began to eat heartily, watching Liu Hong eat a few pieces of beef, with no side effects.

"Didn’t you say that Tang Monk had already stolen the scripture? The White Boney Demon must have been killed long ago. Why would that cube throw us here?" The anti-drug policeman, Gu’er, squinted his eyes and actively analyzed.

"Killing her might give us some useful information?" Tang Zheng was unsure and hadn’t tried the food yet.

"Boy, come over, I need to inquire about something. Do you know Tang Monk?" Huang Jiayuan shouted over the waiter, but just as he finished his question, things took a sudden turn.

The waiter’s body suddenly swelled, growing three meters tall, bursting out of his clothes, and transforming into a dense, furry demon. It stretched out its fan-like hand towards the drug dealer’s head.

The reflexes of Huang Jiayuan were quick enough, and he, who had always lived cautiously, never trusted anyone. Seeing the sudden transformation before him, he withdrew immediately, drawing his gun from his waist and shooting at the demon.

Bang, bang, regretfully Huang Jiayuan’s gun was brought from the current world, with no attached spiritual power, leaving only a few blood holes in the demon without any effect.

Bang, the demon’s huge hand struck Huang Jiayuan’s body directly, flinging him away and smashing the table.

Seeing this scene, the guests who were eating screamed in terror, their faces pale, and they fled the inn in fear, dropping a few cloth shoes in the process.

The two policemen and the prisoner grabbed their rifles and aimed at it. This time out, they were extreme cautious, whether they were habitual criminals or policemen.

But it was Tang Zheng who was the fastest, the Demon Slaying Holy Flame that had already been loaded, aimed at the waiter’s head, instantly turning it into a pile of rot.

Looking at the demon, whose body was now just half a chest cavity, with organs and fresh blood scattered across the floor, the prisoners felt like gagging. Watching Tang Zheng inspect the demon’s body as if it were an everyday occurrence left them even more shocked, and they realized they should not mess with him.
