Chapter 158 Showing Off a Skill
'Ding~'
The mission to eliminate the Sin Eater Baru is complete.
Reward: Tomb Raider's Finger
Do you wish to collect it?
After Cheng Feng finished smoking his cigarette, the system notification sounded.
"Take it, the sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn!"
It's a skill, after all, and even if your fingers grow longer, it's not all bad.
'Ding~'
Task reward distribution
At this moment, Cheng Feng felt a tingling sensation in the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
But the tingling sensation subsided after only a few seconds.
I raised my hand and looked at it, only to find that the length of my fingers hadn't changed at all.
For a moment, Cheng Feng felt both fortunate and disappointed.
"Although the length is insufficient, both flexibility and toughness have been improved."
The wall that was just broken down would be no different from tofu in front of these two fingers.
Cheng Feng will also be able to use this two-finger probing technique in the future.
"Next time I encounter a monster, I'll kill it with one finger."
While Cheng Feng was getting familiar with the "Famous Tombs" technique, the others began to observe their surroundings.
The area is surrounded by pristine mountains, but signs of human intervention are visible.
Ahead lies a cave whose destination is unknown; it's likely that the Sin Eater Balo crawled out from there.
"Old Cheng, the monster is dead. Should we still go forward?"
Yang Xueli's words brought Cheng Feng back to his senses.
He looked at the dark cave entrance ahead and said:
"Since we're already here, let's take a look before we leave!"
The phrase "Since we're already here" has a special magic that can play a decisive role at certain times.
"Old Cheng is right. Since we've come this far, we might as well go and find out what's going on."
Hu Bayi was the first to agree, as he was also curious whether there really was such a thing as a hell passage.
"Then go and see!"
After Ak agreed, everyone reached a consensus.
Then, led by Cheng Feng, the group headed towards the cave ahead.
The cave had a downward slope, and the group walked forward for about ten meters before reaching the end.
After leaving the cave, the group arrived at a man-made platform.
There is a wooden frame made of black wood, with two chains hanging down from it.
There is a circular opening at the front of the wooden frame, about two meters in diameter.
"This looks like a gallows!"
After taking a quick look, the fat man couldn't help but complain.
"Many people have died on this wooden frame. It is Tibetan cypress, and its original color should not be black."
The reason it turned out this way is likely due to changes caused by being soaked in blood.
As an editor for National Geographic magazine, Shirley Yang has some knowledge of plants.
Therefore, they saw the clues.
While the group was examining the wooden frame, Cheng Feng arrived at the circular opening.
After glancing down for a moment, Cheng Feng looked away with some disappointment.
He had a suspicion when the system issued the task.
If there really is a hell here, there certainly wouldn't be only one mission like the Sin Eater Balu.
Now that we see it, it is indeed true; below this circular opening is the hollowed-out belly of the mountain.
The room was filled with bones, and Cheng Feng understood what was going on when he looked at the wooden frame next to it.
The so-called hell is where people who are to be punished are chained to a wooden frame.
Then, Balu, the Sin Eater, climbed up from the mountain and devoured the people tied to the wooden frame.
The remaining corpses were not wasted; they were simply thrown down below, creating a charred hell-like mass grave.
"Old Cheng, it's pitch black in here, we can't see anything!"
Noticing Cheng Feng's actions, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi also came over.
I shone the flashlight downwards for a long time, but all I saw was pitch black.
"There's nothing much to see."
Cheng Feng then told everyone about the skeleton he had seen and his guesses about the wooden frame.
Upon hearing this, Ak couldn't help but close his eyes and began reciting scriptures to dispel the resentment of the deceased.
The other three also looked grim; they had someone tied up there, watching the monster climb up and approach them.
Just thinking about it makes my heart race.
"Alas, this place is not hell, but it is worse than hell!"
After a while, Ak finished reciting the scriptures and sighed.
Having cleared away the sins of Balu and uncovered the so-called hell, the journey to the Temple of Reincarnation can now come to an end.
After everyone left the secret room, the fat man went straight to the golden Buddha.
The fat man was at a loss as to how to proceed with the iron chain that was as thick as his wrist.
"Old Hu, Old Cheng, what should we do with this golden Buddha? It's such a waste to leave it here."
Hu Bayi was also in a bit of a predicament. The chain went straight into the inside of the golden Buddha, and it wouldn't be easy to remove it.
At this moment, Cheng Feng squatted down at the golden Buddha.
"Watch closely, buddy, I'm going to show you something!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng raised his right hand and made a sword-finger gesture.
He then stabbed violently at the link of a chain.
With a clang, the sound of metal striking metal was produced, even though it was flesh-covered fingers colliding with an iron lock.
Amidst the stunned expressions of the crowd, the iron chain snapped.
"What an amazing person! I'm starting to look forward to this trip to the Demon Kingdom."
Ak's voice brought the group back to their senses.
Hu Bayi turned his gaze away from Cheng Feng's two fingers and asked Ak:
"Why do you say that?"
"After this trip, the next generation of divinely inspired poets may have one more poem to be sung."
Ak looked at Cheng Feng with a smile, feeling pleased to have met such an extraordinary person as Cheng Feng.
It was a revelation from heaven; this experience will surely become another epic.
It has been passed down from generation to generation among the poets who sing it.
"Old Cheng, you really have to thank Ak properly, you might just go down in history."
Yang Xueli's gaze towards Cheng Feng concealed admiration.
But he didn't show it in front of others.
"Indeed, I'll treat you to a feast after this trip, and I'll definitely toast Ak a few times then."
"Okay, then it's settled."
In a harmonious atmosphere, the crowd escorted the fat man away from the Samsara Temple.
The guy was holding the golden Buddha, looking very happy. He was sure he would have made a great financial gain from this trip.
Although carrying treasures may make you feel less tired for a while.
But the fat man's excitement was quickly worn down by the mountain road, and he had to share this heavy joy with Hu Bayi halfway through.
With everyone's help, Jin Fo finally arrived safely in the jeep.
After securing their backpacks to the roof of the vehicle, everyone got inside.
"If there's no problem, shall we head straight to Karamir?"
Cheng Feng started the vehicle as he spoke.
At this moment, Ak, who was sitting in the back row, said:
"Near Karamir there is a village called Gazebuqing."
There was a hunter named Chu Yi who had been to Karamir.
If we could get him to be our guide, the trip would go much more smoothly.
Hu Bayi was overjoyed upon hearing this. If he could have a guide familiar with the terrain to lead the way...
Their chances of finding the ruins of the Demon Kingdom are even greater.
"Old Cheng, what do you think?"
Even so, Hu Bayi did not make a decision on his own, but instead asked Cheng Feng for his opinion.
"Having a guide is perfect. Next stop: Gazebuqing. Buckle up, I'm about to speed up!"
