Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 329 - 230: Climbing the Mountain (Part 2)

In Maoshan, danger lurked on every side. Others, even people like Chilian, might attack us. Fighting alone offers no future prospects.

To increase our survival rate and the rate of acquiring treasures, we must trust each other unconditionally."

Wang Hao looked at the two of them, his gaze becoming sharp:

"Can I trust you?"

"Cousin-in-law, once we’re in the mountains, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it."

Chen Yueling stated directly.

Zheng Tai clenched his fists, looked up at Wang Hao, and met his gaze:

"Wang Hao! Let’s bury our past grievances. Only someone like you is worthy of Yaoyao.

I’m willing to fully support you."

His gaze was firm and sincere.

Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

In truth, he was very anxious inside.

What worried him was far more than what Chen Yueling and Zheng Tai were concerned about.

Firstly, the Flame Man, that guy would certainly act as soon as he saw him.

By then, he would need the support of Chen Yueling and Zheng Tai.

That’s why he organized a simple morale-boosting activity.

He felt that he was really having a hard time.

In the future, he definitely needed to recruit more loyal subordinates.

It’s just that time didn’t allow, plus the villa area needed someone to watch over it.

Otherwise, he would have brought over the Charming Man.

Though that Seductive Slut was a pervert, his strength was undeniable.

....

On this day, in Maoshan, a faint golden beam of light shot up to the sky. The golden energy scattered, and magical changes occurred in Maoshan.

Ancient buildings and even stone statues rose up from the ground.

Ancient altars, the star-gazing platform, pavilions and towers, statues of ancestors...

The entire Maoshan underwent earth-shattering changes.

Waves of serene and grand aura spread out, solemn and majestic.

At this moment, the whole of Maoshan was shrouded in a thin golden light curtain, as if the Immortal Realm had descended upon the mortal world.

"Thud, thud, thud."

The Daoists outside knelt down one by one, gazing up at Maoshan, kowtowing desperately, tears streaming down their faces long ago.

This was the true sacred land of Maoshan.

Once a name known far and wide, a force that suppressed the universe.

But now, talent had withered, and even disciples under its gate had no Spirit Root. Unable to cultivate was one thing, but the whole sect had even become a tourist attraction.

How laughable?

Even now, even with the revival of Spiritual Qi, and Maoshan’s ancient relics manifesting, it’s feared that its past glory can’t be restored.

In a secret chamber.

In a crystal coffin lay a "corpse".

He was wearing a Daoist robe, a Daoist crown on his head, his face serene as he lay quietly in the crystal coffin.

And at this moment, a teardrop unexpectedly slid from the corner of his eye.

"It’s because of the incompetence of the descendants that the Maoshan Shangqing lineage has lost its inheritance. I am guilty beyond death!"

The sobbing sound echoed in the secret chamber.

...

At the foot of the mountain, parties from all sides prepared to ascend the mountain.

Wang Hao and Ghost Warrior’s two teams, although competitors, were from the same Settlement Camp, so they were considered allies.

The two teams decided to explore together.

After all, this was a millennium-old monastery, now fully revived, and who knows how many great secrets or deadly dangers were hidden within.

Even Ghost Warrior, strong as he might be, dared not become overconfident.

Wang Hao was even more willing.

He just wanted to stick with Ghost Warrior and find an opportunity to kill him.

If he separated and died elsewhere, Wang Hao would have to scour the mountains to find the black knife.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Hao, I heard your superpower is a barrier ability. When danger arises later, you must protect me."

Chilian approached Wang Hao with a waft of fragrance, giggling.

"Sister, your strength doesn’t seem weak either! Who protects whom remains to be seen."

"Sister Chilian, cousin-in-law is our team leader. If you want protection, you should join our small team."

Chen Yueling hugged Wang Hao’s arm, glaring at Chilian protectively.

"It’s not impossible! I’ll go make an application later. Sister here likes handsome and strong young men the most."

Chilian chuckled, bantering with Chen Yueling.

"Alright, stop arguing, let’s ascend the mountain."

Ghost Warrior said coldly.

This seemed to be the first time Wang Hao heard him speak.

The voice was very deep, with a hint of chill.

Chilian seemed quite afraid of him and immediately quieted down.

The group began to climb the mountain!

They took the main road of the former scenic area.

Their ultimate goal was the grand palace, Jiuxiao Palace.

This was the ultimate destination for them and other people from the Settlement Camp.

"Ah--------"

A miserable scream rang out.

Everyone looked towards the sound, and someone was lying on the ground, drenched in blood, with life or death uncertain.

This is...

Several people furrowed their brows.

"Is this layer of light possibly some sort of barrier?"

Chi Lian furrowed his brows and said.

"It might be something like a Mountain Protection Array. Previously, when the spiritual power was exhausted, it automatically closed. Now that it has received a supplement of spiritual qi, it’s automatically activated."

Wang Hao rubbed his chin, pondering.

"Transform!"

A bold superpower user transformed into beastman form and charged with all his might, surprisingly making it through.

With his lead, the other superpower users acted one after another; some didn’t even transform, relying on their own power to squeeze in.

"It seems this barrier can only block ordinary people."

Zheng Tai lightly shouted and went straight in, originally expecting some hindrance like others.

Unexpectedly, he directly crashed into it.

Because of the inertia, he collided with the mountain, causing a loud bang, and half his body was embedded in it.

Wang Hao and the others were all speechless.

Wang Hao even thought this guy was adorably silly.

They were holders of the disciple tokens.

Considered as disciples of Maoshan themselves.

How could this external mountain protection array possibly harm them?

Only the kind of barrier restraining disciples from freely entering and exiting could block them.

"Let’s go!"

Ghost Warrior coldly said, carrying his large black blade, and walked inside.

The rest followed suit.

Indeed!

There wasn’t even a slight obstruction.

Wang Hao walked to Zheng Tai’s side and pulled him out of the mountain.

Seeing his dusty appearance, he couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

"Stick with us well, don’t run off later."

He patted Zheng Tai, looking at him as if he were caring for an imbecile.

The other few people passed by him, each giving him a glance, then shook their heads helplessly.

Zheng Tai’s face turned bright red, his fists clenched with a crunching sound.

He was so agitated he could hardly hold back his fury.

He’s truly not an idiot!

"Increase speed."

Ghost Warrior glanced back at those wandering folks and picked up the pace.

Those people looked at them with changed eyes.

Before, no one had much concept of the disciple tokens.

But after going through this mountain protection array, they deeply felt the advantages of having a disciple token.

This array didn’t block them at all!

This outside layer of the barrier, they could easily break through, but don’t forget, it’s just the outermost layer!

Moreover, now Maoshan’s various relics have just begun to appear, starting to draw in spiritual qi, the array and barrier’s power is estimated to be less than one percent.

But as time passes, the spiritual qi gradually gathers, their power will grow stronger and stronger.

"Boss Bai!"

A superpower user looked at Bai Muran.

After these few days of interaction, Bai Muran connected with various parties and decided on united action.

They didn’t have the advantage of disciple tokens, so they could only utilize their numbers.

Band together to stay warm, to be safer.

"Don’t be impulsive!"

Bai Muran stopped the crowd, speaking gravely:

"Even though they are only six people, each one of them was carefully selected as an elite.

Others I don’t know, but I’ve seen Wang Hao in action, against ordinary superpower users, he can take on at least three."

"What? More than three?"

The superpower user expressed disbelief, no matter how ordinary the superpower user, they’re still superpower users!

It’s only the early stage of the apocalypse now, everyone’s development of superpowers hasn’t reached high levels. Two slightly lacking superpower users can evenly fight with a more capable superpower user. Adding one more, the trio working together likely wins.

"That’s already underestimating him."

Another superpower user spoke up, looking faintly at Wang Hao’s back and said:

"Do you know how Wang Hao, an outsider, won a spot, and even became the team captain?"

For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on him.

Even Bai Muran looked at him, as he didn’t know the specific details of this point either.

"In Lotus Pond Village, he fought against three from Zheng Tai’s team alone, killed one, injured two, forcing them to knee in surrender.

In the end, it was Chen Feng who intervened to settle the matter with compensation."

"What?"

Everyone’s eyes widened.
