Nightmare Light

Chapter 253 Outside the Imperial Mausoleum
Pfft!
The officer collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness once more.

Lin Wang looked at the large, bulging bump on the back of his head and his face twitched.

“Let’s go, let’s set off and go see Lord Dragon Head,” he said to his companions.

"So... shall we just leave this guy here?" Dog Brother squatted down in front of the unconscious officer, spread his thumb and forefinger, measured the bump on the back of the officer's head, and gasped, "Hiss... more than an inch, it looks painful."

Lin Wang looked around.

In the distance, even more dragon-headed soldiers were rushing in like a tide.

It would be inappropriate to put this officer in the tree fern: he is a steel-boned army officer, and also a commoner, with intricate connections to the upper echelons of Tangsheng City.

Therefore, tree ferns should not be exposed in front of him.

"We can only let him sleep here for a while," Lin Wang said.

"What if, those dragon-headed soldiers..." Before Dog Brother could finish his sentence, he saw Lin Wang flick his index fingers, sending dozens of tiny white flames flying towards the dragon-headed soldiers downstairs.

When the flames hit the dragon-headed soldiers, they grew rapidly, enveloping their entire bodies and simultaneously spreading to the soldiers around them.

In just half a minute, the entire conference room was surrounded by pale white flames, forming a sea of ​​fire—fortunately, these flames had no heat.

Lin Wang stood in the ghastly white sea of ​​fire, glanced at Dog Brother, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"...Nothing."

The flames gradually spread further and further away.

Like a white tide, it covered the sea formed by the dragon-headed soldiers.

Lin Wang jumped off the roof and, with his companions, weaved through the tide, heading towards the imperial tomb.

“Most of the soldiers are ordinary people, and I’ve also weakened the flames’ dispersing effect, so they won’t wake up immediately after the pollution is purified,” Lin Wang said. “That way, by the time they wake up, we’ll have already finished our business and won’t cause any trouble.”

"What if we can't finish..." Dog Brother still looked a little nervous, muttering to himself, "The Wild Wolf Gang is just the weakest mercenary group, and I'm just a weak and insignificant mortal master. Why are we going to fight with immortals..."

Bai Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to her, was also a little scared.

Even Huang Liangye and Ye Youshen were somewhat uneasy after learning that their opponent was the crazed Longshouye.

Lin Wang, however, remained calm and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Halfway there, he even complained about the Steelbone Army's camp construction: "This intersection is ugly... It would look better if they added a flower bed or fountain in the middle."

Everyone: "..."

Just then, a notification sound for the server function suddenly rang in Lin Wang's mind.

[Large amount of recyclable material ahead, distance: 300 meters!]

[Dangering recyclable material ahead, distance: 300 meters!]

[Special sacrificial object detected, distance: 280 meters]

Lin Wang's heart moved.

Three hundred meters...it seems to be the imperial tomb.

They randomly picked a military vehicle at the Steelbone military camp, and Dog drove it towards the north gate of the camp.

Behind him, countless dragon-headed soldiers, their bodies ablaze with pale flames, gradually collapsed.

The military vehicles drove out of the camp, with a raging inferno behind them.

The firelight illuminated the people behind them, and everyone's face was shrouded in shadow.

If someone unaware of the truth saw this art style, they would most likely think it was a post-victory settlement scene from the evil villains...

Lin Wang mentally berated himself.

Then, he heard the Night Wanderer, who had been floating and following him, let out a very satisfied exclamation.

"Ah! This is the art style a villain should have! Destruction and burning... It's amazing! So beautiful! So evil! Praise be to my Lord!"

"..." Lin Wang's face twitched, and he turned his head away, no longer looking behind him.

The distance of several hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye, and they quickly exited the North Gate (which Lin Wang had blown open) and drove into a rocky area.

The roar of the dragon-headed soldiers gradually faded away, the surrounding fog thickened, the jagged rocks had strange shapes, and there were many branching roads.

Lin Wang knew that these arrangements were all to prevent those with ulterior motives from rashly entering the imperial mausoleum. This also created enormous difficulties for them in finding the entrance to the mausoleum.

Dog Brother drove around the winding road, muttering to himself, "If only I had brought that officer with me earlier..."

Lin Wang pointed ahead: "Turn left at the intersection ahead."

Doggy did as instructed and turned left, asking curiously, "Boss, how did you know?"

"Because our Lord is wise! Our Lord is all-knowing and all-powerful!" The Night Wanderer pierced through the front hood of the machine, revealing half of his body, creating an extremely terrifying scene.

He raised his sickle and stretched his hand towards the sky. Dog looked up and saw that, without anyone noticing, hundreds of night wanderers were flying in the sky.

"My night-roaming spirits have filled the sky and have already thoroughly explored all the routes in this area!"

Huang Liangye wagged his tail: "You mortal, your thinking is quite clear."

The Night Wanderer walked in through the glass, glaring at Huang Liangye: "Watch your attitude! My lord is comparable to a god! What kind of mortal is he!"

Throughout the noisy commotion of the passengers, Lin Wang consistently and precisely directed the traffic at the fork in the road.

And so it went, until the last intersection.

At this point, the Night Wanderer had stopped arguing with the big yellow rat. He pointed to the left fork in the road and said, "We'll be there once we turn this corner."

At this moment, Lin Wang suddenly spoke up: "No, we don't turn left here, we turn right."

"Ah? My lord, but my little night watchmen reported that..."

"No, listen to me, turn right." Lin Wang interrupted the Night Wanderer. "Think about it, aren't there quite a few lay masters who can fly?"

“That’s why I suspect,” Lin Wang said, using ice to conjure a right-pointing arrow outside the car window. “The left side is an illusion.”

The big yellow rat squatted on the back of the front seat, looking at Lin Wang, its nose twitching: "What if you guess wrong? We'll be in trouble!"

The Night Wanderer said, "That's easy, I can send one of my men..."

Lord Huangliang shook his paw: "No, I will use my own method!"

He darted behind Dog Brother, tugged at Dog Brother's hair hard, and yelled, "Whoa!"

Then Dog Brother stopped the car.

Lin Wang was dumbfounded: What new attribute has been activated?

Dog Brother stopped the car, and Huang Liangye climbed out of the car window and stood on the hood.

The big yellow rat somehow produced a fragrant incense stick, rubbed it between its little paws, and lit the tip.

He held the incense stick in his hand and waved it back and forth a few times. The incense stick burned out quickly and turned into a whole ash stick in Huang Liangye's hand.

With a flick of its paw, the ash stick scattered into a handful of incense ash.

The big yellow rat squeaked a few times at the air and then scattered the incense ash.

A dozen seconds later, a squeaking sound filled the air, and hundreds of mice of all sizes swarmed around the car.

Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed "Ah!"

May also let out a scream, her eyes reddening.

This girl wasn't afraid when she saw thousands of dragon-headed soldiers fighting, and she didn't even cry when she saw even more bizarre things before.

I'm so scared of a bunch of rats I'm about to cry.

Lin Wang glanced outside, and a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Okay, it's pretty creepy.

After sprinkling the incense ash, Huang Liangye squeaked a few times at the surrounding area, and the rats, big and small, scattered and disappeared into the crevices of the surrounding stones.

Lin Wang looked down and saw a mouse with a tuft of white fur on its head squatting in the middle of the ground, refusing to leave and still squeaking at the car.

Lin Wang rolled down the car window and asked Huang Liangye, "Why isn't this one moving?"

"Oh, it said it just got married and asked us to give it some food to share in the joy."
