Lin Baici woke up and the first thing he saw was the surging black mist, as if he was in the cold fog of winter.

Visibility was less than five meters.

Because of his experience in the Dragon Zen Temple and the fact that he was no longer an ordinary person but a divine hunter with four divine blessings, Lin Baici was not too panicked.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

It was 11:15, about six or seven minutes had passed since he fainted.

Lin Baici saw Hua Yueyu and Xia Hongyao, both of them had also fainted and were lying on the ground.

Xia Hongyao was better off, but Hua Yueyu, being an ordinary person, furrowed her brows instinctively and occasionally twitched, obviously feeling uncomfortable.

[Once they die, you will lose a dessert and a spare source of milk. It’s better to eat them now!]

[Let’s eat! Let’s eat!]

“Xiaoyu, Hongyao!”

Lin Baici helped up the female anchor closest to him and shook her shoulder forcefully. “Wake up!”

Xia Hongyao woke up and was startled when she saw the surging black mist around her.

“God’s Ruins?”

Then the surprise on the high ponytail girl’s face turned into excitement.

God’s Ruins have appeared, I can show off my skills.

The only regret is that I haven’t formed a team yet, but it’s okay, my strongest teammate is by my side.

“Xiaolin!”

Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici. “We need to quickly contain the divine remains and break through this God’s Ruins!”

Hua Yueyu woke up, feeling a headache as if she had been hit on the head, and was dumbfounded when she saw everything around her.

“God… God’s Ruins?”

The little fish person felt like crying.

Why did we encounter God’s Ruins again?

Did I really need to keep a Guanyin statue at home?

The female anchor looked at Lin Baici helplessly.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Lin Baici comforted her and gently stroked the female anchor’s head like stroking a cat.

“Ah, one good news and one bad news!”

Hua Yueyu took out her phone and tapped it twice, only to find that the screen was black and it had already crashed. “The bad news is, we encountered God’s Ruins again!”

“What’s the good news?”

Xia Hongyao stood up and looked around.

For ordinary people, God’s Ruins was a place of certain death. The terrifying and mysterious rules contamination would bring despair, terror, and death. Most of the time, suicide was even a form of relief, reducing the torment.

“The good news is that Xiaobai is here too!”

Hua Yueyu remembered her experience in the Dragon Zen Temple last time and felt slightly relieved.

As long as Xiaobai is here, there is hope!

“I’m a divine hunter too!”

Xia Hongyao pouted. “And I often watch Sherlock Holmes, my reasoning skills are great!”

“Ah?”

Hua Yueyu was taken aback.

She thought Xia Hongyao came from a powerful family and invited Lin Baici to play in order to build a good relationship after learning that he was a divine hunter.

But she didn’t expect Xia Hongyao herself to be a divine hunter?

“Xiaolin, let’s go and contain the divine remains.”

Xia Hongyao was eager to try.

According to the principle of confidentiality, divine hunters were not allowed to casually reveal their identities, but in this situation, if they broke the God’s Ruins together, they would definitely be exposed.

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots broke the silence.

“It came from the shooting range over there!”

Xia Hongyao was familiar with this place.

“Lead the way, let’s go and take a look!”

Lin Baici reminded, “The fog is too thick, be careful and don’t get separated!”

A shooting star fell, and the God’s Ruins appeared.

At the beginning, there would be a large amount of black mist surging and spreading, from being unable to see one’s fingers to gradually increasing visibility.

After a period of time, maybe a few days or half a month… the density of the black mist would gradually stabilize, while continuously radiating towards the surroundings like a tide, devouring everything.

If the divine remains were not contained, this black mist would continue to spread.

In the black mist, there was radiation from the divine remains, which would contaminate some items into divine taboos. The longer the God’s Ruins lasted, the longer the items were exposed to the radiation of the divine remains, and the more divine taboos there would be.

Therefore, the later the God’s Ruins were broken, the greater the danger faced by divine hunters.

[Hurry up! Hurry up! The buffet has started, let’s taste the delicious food first.]

The Food God sounded cheerful, and Lin Baici sensed that it was in a good mood, almost humming a tune.

Xia Hongyao led the way, and the three of them entered a gate and walked through a corridor. They heard someone talking and cursing.

Lin Baici took out the black alms bowl from his backpack and took out the Bodhi Messenger’s robe from inside, putting it on. Then he took out a pine torch and held it like a stick.

The three of them walked out of the corridor and arrived at the shooting range.

Because of the presence of the mist, Lin Baici could only hear voices but couldn’t see anyone. To avoid being hit by stray bullets, he reminded them.

“Don’t shoot, you might hit someone!”

Lin Baici thought the person shooting was an idiot. At this time, they should cherish their bullets and save them for critical moments.

“What does it have to do with you if I want to shoot?”

Someone retorted from the mist.

“Can’t we get some guns first?”

Hua Yueyu suggested, since this was a shooting range, there must be no shortage of firearms.

“It’s meaningless!”

Xia Hongyao didn’t want to waste the effort.

“Ah?”

Hua Yueyu didn’t understand. “Why is it meaningless?”

“Firearms are of little help against the contamination of the purification rules. The contamination of the rules is too bizarre and unpredictable. Some people, after being contaminated, lose their sanity and do crazy things, like shooting their companions!”

“The most common dead flesh people in the God’s Ruins require hundreds of bullets to kill, but divine hunters can die from just one shot. So, over time, no one brings firearms anymore!”

This thing poses a greater threat to humans than monsters.

“Then what should we use? Hand-to-hand combat?”

Hua Yueyu felt helpless. As a weak girl with only the strength to support a chicken, wouldn’t I be in danger?

“Use divine blessings, as well as divine taboos sealed in black coffins, they can also be used as weapons.”

Xia Hongyao drew out her dagger. “That’s why divine hunters are valuable!”

Lin Baici and the other two turned their heads and looked to the right.

Footsteps were chaotic.

Soon, more than a dozen young men and women appeared.Zhou Yajie and the girl in the gradually changing color silk stockings followed them.

These people saw Lin Baici and the other two, their expressions froze.

It’s not because Xia Hongyao and Hua Yueyu are beautiful.

These two girls are indeed good-looking, but the girls who can enter their circle are not lacking in looks and figure. They have seen a lot and naturally have a high immunity. So what they are looking at now is Lin Baici.

Why is he wearing a kasaya?

What the hell?

Does Palm Harbor also have transcendence services?

“I guess he’s some rich woman’s little lapdog, playing COSPLAY, right?”

Du Xin interjected, trying to lighten the atmosphere by teasing Lin Baici, but no one laughed.

“Damn it, what’s the time? Do you still have the leisure to joke?”

A boy holding a M1911 pistol retorted.

He was wearing a pair of coffee-colored shorts and a vest on his upper body, with colorful patterns and a big skull on the front.

“Xue Ge, I’m sorry.”

Du Xin quickly apologized.

“Zhaosi, calm down!”

Beside him, a tall boy with thick eyebrows persuaded, he has always been calm and steady: “We should be trapped in God’s Ruins. It’s useless for you to get angry!”

“Damn it!”

Xue Zhao cursed again, but he no longer lost his temper.

“Tang Ge, what should we do now?”

A young man with an earring on his left ear asked the boy with thick eyebrows.

“Tang Ge, my head hurts.”

The girl who spoke was wearing a tennis skirt and a white T-shirt. Her voice was sweet and soft.

“Let’s gather everyone here first, and then go up and take a look!”

The young man called Tang Ge, whose real name is Tang Zhiqian, his calmness and arrangements have eased the panic in everyone’s hearts.

Xia Hongyao quietly poked Lin Baici’s arm: “Xiao Linzi, those people are led by Tang Ge and Xue Ge!”

“And that girl in the leather skirt!”

Hua Yueyu added.

“Ah?”

Xia Hongyao was stunned, looking at the girl in the crowd wearing a black leather skirt and long military boots.

“She looks cool, but how did you figure out that she is the core figure of this circle?”

Xia Hongyao asked curiously.

“When Tang Ge was speaking, he glanced at the girl in the leather skirt several times.”

Lin Baici explained in a low voice.

“Hmm?”

Xia Hongyao frowned, then relaxed, understanding it.

When Tang Ge was speaking, he was obviously seeking her opinion.

Xue Ge’s status in this circle is probably due to his family background, but in terms of prestige, it is still Tang Ge and this girl in the leather skirt.

“Is there anyone else? If you hear me, come over and gather!”

Xue Zhao shouted.

“Stop shouting!”

Lin Baici remembered the merit Buddha he encountered at Longchan Temple. If there are wandering monsters in this God’s Ruins, they might be attracted by this shouting.

“Damn it, are you teaching me how to do things?”

Xue Zhao shouted angrily. He cursed and had a very bad temper. He raised his M1911 and pointed it at Lin Baici: “Say it again?”

Xue Ge felt extremely unlucky recently.

First, he lost over ten million in stocks last week. After finally making up his mind to cut his losses and leave, the stock rose the next day. Then he came here to relax and encountered a falling meteor and the appearance of God’s Ruins.

Damn it…

There are dozens of meteors falling globally every year, and I happened to encounter it. It’s really unbelievable.

Tang Zhiqian sighed: “Xingxi, persuade him!”

“Childish!”

Lu Yingxi, the girl in the leather skirt, ignored Xue Zhao. She glanced at Lin Baici and thought about the rumors she had heard about God’s Ruins. Her mind was in chaos, and she didn’t care about the life and death of others.

She was about to die herself.

“If you’re afraid of death, shut up!”

Xue Ge cursed and then shouted again in frustration: “Where are the people? Come over quickly!”

“If you don’t shut up, I’ll shut you up!”

Lin Baici’s expression turned cold.

Everyone stared at Lin Baici in astonishment when they heard this.

Are you crazy?

Can’t you see that Xue Zhao is furious?

You are being pointed at by a gun, what’s wrong with keeping quiet and admitting defeat?

It won’t cost you anything!

“Stubborn!”

Tang Zhiqian shook his head.

“Stupid!”

Du Xin muttered.

“Damn it, are you giving me face?”

Xue Zhao pointed his gun at Lin Baici again.

“Xue Ge, he is my junior, give me some face!”

Zhou Yajie ran to Xue Zhao’s side, smiling and pleading. Then she looked at Tang Zhiqian: “Tang Ge, he is also from Haijing University…”

Before Zhou Yajie could finish speaking, she was slapped in the face by Xue Zhao.

Smack!

The sound of the slap was crisp.

“What are you? What face do you have?”

Xue Zhao cursed loudly.

“Zhou Yajie, what’s wrong with you?”

Du Xin thought her friend had gone crazy: “Come over quickly, don’t make Xue Ge angry!”

“Get lost!”

Xue Zhao pushed Zhou Yajie away and looked at Lin Baici, who was being pointed at by the gun. He still had a calm expression, which made him even more annoyed.

What are you pretending to be calm for!

Xue Zhao raised the gun, ready to shoot two shots at Lin Baici’s head to scare him, but the other party suddenly spoke.

“Look behind you!”

Lin Baici tucked the lower hem of his kasaya into his belt, so as not to affect the fight.

“Look at your mother!”

Xue Ge cursed and was about to shoot, but he saw the people around him suddenly scattered like they were avoiding a plague, panicking and dispersing in all directions.

“Xue… Xue Ge, behind you…”

The young man with the earring’s voice trembled.

Xue Zhao subconsciously turned his head and saw a muscular Buddha standing there.

He was only wearing a pair of leather shorts, with full and solid muscles all over his body. The bulging veins and tendons climbed on his body like earthworms, as if they were powerful characters written by a calligraphy master.

On top of his head, there were chestnut-sized buns, similar to the ones on the head of the Buddha in the TV.

A domineering and cruel aura came rushing over.

Xue Zhao instinctively wanted to run, but the muscular Buddha’s big hand had already slapped him like a fly swatter, hitting him on the face.

Smack!Xue Zhao let out a cry as he was whipped and sent flying more than five meters away. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground and rolled twice.

During this time, blood splattered from his mouth and head, like plum blossoms in the rain, scattered on the ground, creating scattered spots.

The entire shooting range fell silent.

Xue Zhao was dumbfounded, and after a few seconds, he finally exhaled and began to wail.

“Monster…”

The girl in the tennis skirt instinctively wanted to scream, but she was immediately silenced by Lu Yingxi.

Tang Zhiqian immediately stared at Lin Baici, then looked at Hua Yueyu and Xia Hongyao. He understood that they remained indifferent in the face of this suddenly appearing muscular Buddha.

This was done by that young man.

Tang Zhiqian’s eyes lit up. “Are you a Divine Hunter?”

These young people had obviously heard of the term Divine Hunter. Their originally anxious expressions suddenly became excited.

There was hope!

“Divine Hunter? Aren’t they the ones who specialize in breaking through God’s Ruins?”

The girl in the tennis skirt cried tears of joy.

At this moment, everyone was sizing up Lin Baici.

“It’s over, it’s over. I offended a Divine Hunter. Will I be killed?”

Du Xin cried in fear, almost wetting herself.

She had heard that these Divine Hunters had licenses to kill.

And even if they didn’t, as long as they didn’t save her, she would be done for.

This was God’s Ruins, a terrifying place where no one survived.

“Zhou Ya, can you help me say a few good words?”

Du Xin regretted it and almost vomited blood. Why did I make fun of him? Belittle him?

By the way, at your age, why are you a Divine Hunter?

Zhou Ya didn’t pay attention at all. She stared blankly at Lin Baici, already dumbfounded.

Junior Lin was the legendary Divine Hunter?

Zhou Ya turned her head and saw the muscular Buddha. It clasped its hands together, bowed slightly, chanted “Amitabha Buddha,” and gradually faded away, disappearing.

“Xue Ge, how do you feel about what I just said?”

After Lin Baici finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zhiqian’s group. “Does anyone have any objections?”

Everyone fell silent, avoiding Lin Baici’s gaze.

“Very well!”

Lin Baici nodded and looked around. “Don’t hide anymore, come out quickly, we’re going up!”

Ten more people walked out from the black mist. They had been observing in secret all along.

“Coach Zhang, Coach Tan!”

Xia Hongyao saw two familiar faces. She had seen them when she came here to play with guns before.

“Hongyao, who is this…”

Coach Zhang was not tall, but he had a solid build. He was a retired soldier and had been exercising since his recovery.

“The guardian of China, the Dragon Guard of Jiuzhou,”

Unfortunately, these eight words could only be said in her heart.

“Hello, I am the boss of Guoxing Electronics, surnamed Fu, Fu Jinlin.”

A middle-aged boss in his forties walked quickly towards Lin Baici, wearing a smile on his face. From a distance, he reached out his hands to shake hands with Lin Baici.

Guoxing Electronics was a circuit board component manufacturing company.

“Xiaoyu, go get that pistol!”

After shaking hands with Fu Jinlin, Lin Baici didn’t introduce himself. Anyway, these people would mostly end up dead.

“Oh!”

Hua Yueyu immediately ran over. She had wanted to pick up that gun a long time ago.

In fact, everyone without a gun wanted to pick it up, but because of the intimidation of the muscular Buddha, no one dared to move. What if they provoked this Divine Hunter and got their heads blown up?

“Coach Zhang, please lead us to the stairs and go to the main hall on the ground floor!”

Lin Baici ordered.

“Aren’t we taking the elevator?”

The girl in the tennis skirt interjected. “Taking the elevator should be faster, right?”

After she finished speaking, she saw several people looking at her as if she were an idiot.

“Qiao Meimei, do you dare to take the elevator now?”

The young man with an earring was speechless. “Can you be a little smarter?”

The group arrived at the staircase, and Coach Zhang stopped. He turned his head and hesitated as he looked at Lin Baici because it was too dangerous to be at the front.

He had just responded to the country’s call and had a second child. He couldn’t die.

Otherwise, what would happen to his wife and children?

“I’ll go!”

Xia Hongyao took out a short knife and took the lead.

Lin Baici didn’t persuade her and followed behind the girl with a high ponytail.

Hua Yueyu wanted to follow, but Tang Zhiqian and Lu Yingxi squeezed in.

“Handsome guy, what dangers are there inside?”

Lu Yingxi asked.

“I don’t know.”

Each God’s Ruins had Divine Corpse radiation. If they existed for a long time, they would produce dead flesh people and contaminate more Divine Taboos.

Different Divine Taboos caused different rule contaminations.

Therefore, Divine Hunters couldn’t predict what dangers they would encounter. They could only roughly judge the contamination intensity of the God’s Ruins based on their experience.

If it exceeded 5.0, Divine Hunters would also face a huge risk of death.

The group went upstairs, their footsteps chaotic, and they could hear nervous breathing.

“Don’t go upstairs anymore. go out from the fire door on the right and walk along the corridor. It’s the northwest corner of the main hall!”

Coach Zhang reminded them.

Xia Hongyao pushed open the door, revealing a corridor with swirling mist outside.

Everyone proceeded cautiously and continued forward. After walking about forty meters, Coach Zhang nervously swallowed and reminded Lin Baici, “Something’s… not right. We should have reached the main hall by now!”

Everyone stopped and looked around.

Suddenly, a sharp, sinister, and high-pitched voice rang out.

“Kneel and offer three sacrifices, disrespect the heavens and respect the gods!”

This voice elongated its tone, with ups and downs, as if a primitive tribal shaman was sacrificing living people as offerings, praying to the gods for blessings.

“What… what is this?”

Qiao Meimei’s legs trembled, and hot liquid flowed down her thighs.

“Shut up!”

Lu Yingxi scolded, “Don’t make a sound!”

This prayer was eerie, elusive, and exuded a chilling aura. After it repeated three times, there was a loud bang, and a large flame ignited.

A yellowish light quickly spread, dispelling the surrounding darkness and mist.

“Ah!”

“What the hell!”

“What is this?”

Everyone exclaimed, panic on their faces.

In the 2 o’clock direction, about twenty meters away, there was a small wooden platform about one meter high, piled with firewood, and it was burning.

“`The “bang” just now was the sound made when the bonfire was lit.

Around this small platform, there are twelve wooden poles as thick as electric poles, surrounding it in a circle. Each wooden pole is about one and a half meters high, with equal spacing between them, connected by dark red hemp ropes.

These hemp ropes are thick and have white animal bones, animal teeth, beautiful stone tools, and dozens of rotten and blood-dripping heads hanging on them.

Some flies landed on them, buzzing.

But the most hanging on them is a kind of adult-sized shell, about the size of a palm, and looking at its shape and patterns, it looks like a turtle shell.

[A primitive tribal altar used for prayer, blessings, and curses. After all, when human power is limited, who doesn’t want the thigh of a ghost and god as a father?]

Lin Baici observed this altar, and various patterns were carved on the wooden poles surrounding it, like primitive tribal cave paintings, very abstract.

Above each wooden pole, there is a pottery basin with a small bonfire inside. There is no wind, but these bonfires flicker and dance like ghost shadows.

“What is this place? Where is the hall?”

Coach Zhang was dumbfounded, feeling his scalp tingling.

This place is too uncomfortable.

The others also felt the same, feeling that it was quite scary here, as if some kind of terrible evil ritual was being held, and they themselves were the sacrifices.

“Let’s leave here quickly, okay?”

Qiao Meimei urged, her mouth full of crying.

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao glanced at each other, knowing that they had encountered a divine taboo.

“Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and leave!”

Boss Fu Jinlin cherished his life. He turned his head and walked away, but after running for more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped. “What… what is that?”

Everyone immediately looked over.

“Hiss, a… a corpse?”

Lu Yingxi took a cold breath, feeling a chill down her spine.

As the dark mist was dispersed by the dim light, everyone saw five weirdly shaped dried corpses standing more than thirty meters away.

These corpses were dehydrated and shriveled, with only their skin and a little muscle tightened around their bones. They were wearing short skirts made of animal skins, with pale animal tooth necklaces hanging around their necks, and bird feathers of some kind inserted on their heads, colorful.

There was a piece of turtle shell inlaid on their foreheads, and mysterious patterns were depicted on their bodies, faces, and even their eye sockets, forming a picture, which was either a tribal totem or some kind of ceremonial dress.

At this moment, they were all in a strange posture, as if performing some kind of ritual dance.

“They… they should be dead, right?”

Qiao Meimei covered her mouth with her hand, afraid to make a sound and wake up these dried corpses.

“Nonsense!”

Tang Zhiqian cursed. If they were alive, wouldn’t it scare people to death?

“There are more over there!”

The young man with an earring felt his scalp tingling.

Not only here, but also around the altar, there were dozens of these tribal dried corpses, at least sixty or seventy.

Bang!

The bonfire on the altar suddenly exploded again, sparks flying, and the bonfire flickered, as if there was a face with only eyes and mouth on it.

“Kneel and offer three sacrifices to the gods, disrespect the heavens and respect the ghosts and gods!”

“This god asks you, do you want to divinate?”

Everyone’s faces showed fear. Who was speaking?

They looked at each other and dared not speak, or even move. Many people’s eyes looked at Lin Baici.

The meaning was obvious. You are the divine hunter, you answer.

In less than ten seconds, everyone didn’t need to hesitate anymore. The more than ten human heads hanging on the hemp ropes tied to the twelve wooden stakes around the altar suddenly opened their eyes, turned their heads in unison, and stared at a girl.

Swish!

Everyone was scared and retreated. Zhou Ya even tripped and fell on his butt.

The unlucky person being stared at by the heads was the girl in the tennis skirt, called Qiao Meimei by the young man with an earring.

“Wu wu wu, Tang… Tang ge!”

Qiao Ning trembled with fear, seeking help from Tang Zhiqian.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s see what’s going on first.”

Tang Zhiqian comforted her.

“Ascending to the heavens, descending to the abyss, all spirits are inferior to your faith!”

“At this auspicious time, divination can be performed!”

“Come forward! Come forward! Come forward!”

This voice was initially deep, elusive, and mysterious. When it said “come forward,” the speed of speech became extremely fast, with obvious urgency.

“What does this mean?”

Fu Jinlin looked confused.

In fact, everyone couldn’t understand it very well.

[A group of nine leaking fish. The meaning of these three sentences is that you can fly in the sky, swim in the deep pool, and come up with all kinds of ingenious ideas, but it is not as useful as sincerely trusting ghosts and gods!]

[Now is an auspicious time, you can perform divination, so come to the front of the altar quickly and use divination to solve your troubles!]

“I… I know!”

Zhou Ya understood the meaning of this ancient text and immediately translated it for everyone to hear.

“Qiao Meimei, you should listen to ‘it’ and divinate!”

Lu Yingxi suggested.

“Will… will anything bad happen?”

Qiao Ning didn’t want to go. Why did it have to be her?

“This is rule contamination. It’s more dangerous if you don’t go!”

Xia Hongyao explained, “We have two ways to survive now. One is to find the divine taboo and seal it, and the other is to follow its rules and complete the divine taboo game!”

“Are you also a divine hunter?”

Lu Yingxi was surprised.

“Yeah!”

Xia Hongyao looked at the altar, trying to find any clues.

Qiao Ning tremblingly walked to the front of the altar.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

The turtle shell fragments tied to the wooden stakes with hemp ropes suddenly shook, and then one fell and flew into the bonfire.

The turtle shell burned, making crackling sounds, like firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.

Qiao Ning trembled and looked at Tang Zhiqian.

Tang Zhiqian had no choice but to turn his head and look at Lin Baici.

The divination time was very short, probably just over ten seconds. In the bonfire, there was another bang, and sparks flew, like ghost fires.

‘It’ spoke again.

“You will have a beheading disaster today!”

This was obviously not a good thing, and Qiao Ning’s face instantly turned pale. “Tang ge!”

“Don’t be afraid, ‘it’ is just scaring you!”

Tang Zhiqian comforted Qiao Ning.

“Tang ge, let’s leave…”Halfway through his sentence, Qiao Ning’s head suddenly jerked, tilting to the side like a ripe persimmon, and fell off from his neck.

Thud!

His head hit the ground, rolling a few times.
