Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

lie!

Chen Xin was just about to say that when Chen Zhou spoke up first, saying, "Oh, how about we go hiking together?"

Dou Wen also looked at Cheng Yan curiously, wondering what was so special about her that Brother Zhou would think of taking her hiking.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan's face lit up with joy, and she asked excitedly, "You bought this mountain but haven't been up it yet?"

Yes, the barren mountain is formed by an array.

In his previous life, Chen Zhou also spent several years to obtain the bounty of the desolate mountain.

In other words, Chen Zhou in this life has not yet received the blessings of the desolate mountain.

They believed there were good things in the barren mountains simply because of their danger.

That's great, I still have a chance.

In this lifetime, only you can achieve the status of a celestial being!

Chen Zhou's lips curled into a slight smile: "Oh? Why do you care about this?"

At this moment, Chen Zhou probably had some guesses in his mind.

Firstly, this person possesses something that can sense treasures.

After all, although the things on the barren mountain are not of great use to me at present, they are very valuable treasures to ordinary people.

Secondly, it is through some means that they know the situation of the barren mountain, such as a reborn person who has all the memories, or a reborn person who has been given half true and half false rebirth memories by the Heavenly Dao.

Cheng Yan paused, realizing that she had been too hasty in her actions.

Chen Zhou was a suspicious person to begin with, and now he should be doubting himself, doubting whether he knew what was really on the desolate mountain.

She suppressed her panic and said, "It is precisely because of the unknown that it is more challenging."

"As a mountaineering enthusiast, I naturally hope that you don't know the specific details of the mountain, so that I will have a better experience when I climb it later."

Chen Zhou nodded, seemingly convinced: "That makes sense."

Just as Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Chen Zhou continue, "In that case, we'll trouble this young lady to clear the way for the four of us."

Chen Xin also gripped the bell, ready to shake it at any moment.

Cheng Yan's gaze was fixed on the bell in Chen Xin's hand. Chen Zhou smiled slightly, and he could be even more certain of Cheng Yan's identity—a reborn person.

He was a reborn individual who knew that the bell could control a Grandmaster puppet.

It seems I don't know enough.

After all, if you knew enough, you wouldn't be guarding against a puppet, but against yourself.

Cheng Yan smiled and said, "Of course."

"I have experience, the four of you just need to follow me."

The barren mountain has a formation, which seems to be naturally formed and is quite extraordinary.

This formation has a certain pattern.

The first three levels are only meant to deter people; they have no offensive power.

Starting from the third layer, it begins to have lethality, and it also has the ability to disrupt direction, separating those entering the formation from each other.

At that time, everyone will be separated.

With his knowledge of these formations from his previous life, he was able to take down Chen Zhou and Chen Xin, and also acquire the Grandmaster Puppet.

So, as long as I don't get killed by Chen Xin before then, that's all that matters.

With this in mind, Cheng Yan became even more cautious in her words and actions.

Soon, the five of them arrived at the middle three floors.

Cheng Yan pulled out the gun hidden at her waist and burst into laughter: "Now, this is my territory!"

"Kill Chen Zhou first, then Chen Xin, and then their lackeys!"

Having entered the middle three floors, she is currently the person who understands the changes here best.

This change is beyond human control; even a Grandmaster puppet cannot break through it.

Now, it's time for revenge!

Having avenged himself and seized the bounty of the desolate mountain, he would become the only celestial being in this world.

When the time comes, find someone more handsome and capable than Chen Zhou to dance at Chen Zhou's grave, proving that Chen Zhou's taste was terrible!

"I don't even know you, and you want to kill me? That's just too much."

Overjoyed, Cheng Yan froze, slowly turned around, and saw Chen Zhou, Chen Xin, Dou Wen, and the puppet who should never have been with her.

Cheng Yan threw the gun she was holding far away, smiled, and said, "I was just joking, do you believe me?"

Chen Zhou waved his hand, and the gun landed in his hand.

He pressed the gun against Cheng Yan's head, sighed, and said, "I was hoping to play with you a little longer, but why are you so easily angered?"

The moment the gun was pressed against her head, Cheng Yan shuddered: "Chen Zhou, be careful, this gun could easily go off."

Chen Xin glanced at Chen Zhou and said directly, "You didn't include me last time, so I have to join in this time!"

As she spoke, Chen Xin walked up to Cheng Yan and coldly asked, "Name and what character it is."

Cheng Yan: "Yan Cheng, Yan as in severe, Cheng as in orange."

Chen Zhou immediately said, "Your heartbeat is off; you're lying."

Cheng Yan: !

How come I didn't know Chen Zhou had this ability in my previous life?

Without time to think, the pressure of death from the gun pointed at her head made her continue, "Cheng Yan, Cheng as in Fangcheng, Yan as in Yanli."

Chen Zhou nodded: "The truth."

Chen Xin nodded slightly and continued, "What is the purpose of coming to the barren mountain?"

Cheng Yan looked miserable, no longer daring to try to be clever: "The desolate mountain possesses the power to transform people into celestial beings, and I want to obtain it."

Although she is a reincarnated person, Cheng Yan was just a rich girl in her previous life.

Apart from being jilted by Chen Zhou, she never experienced any further humiliation or threats.

Therefore, faced with the threat of death and Chen Zhou as a human lie detector, she dared not tell a single lie.

Chen Zhou: "The truth."

Chen Xin looked at Chen Zhou: "Brother, why didn't you take out this good stuff?"

Dou Wen was also very surprised and doubtful. Could there really be a creation of nature in this desolate mountain?

Chen Zhou looked at his younger sister, who was only interested in taking shortcuts, and said irritably, "No, do you think I don't know what's going on in this mountain? There's nothing in this mountain that can make someone become a celestial being in one step. Forget about it."

Dou Wen suddenly realized that this made sense. The realm of being a celestial being was already like a legend. How could one so easily encounter the opportunity to become a celestial being?

Chen Xin was immediately disappointed.

That's true. If there were anything in the barren mountain, my brother would have used it for himself. Why would he wait until now?

Chen Xin looked at Cheng Yan, her eyes turning cold: "How did you find out about this?"

Cheng Yan remained silent. Her rebirth was her biggest secret, and she wouldn't reveal it easily...

boom!

Cheng Yan felt a piercing pain in her leg; it turned out that Chen Zhou had shot her there.

"Speak."

Cheng Yan was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. Although she was sobbing, she still spoke without hesitation, "Don't kill me. I am a reincarnated person. I can help your Chen family reach the pinnacle. I have a vision of the future and will definitely be of help to you."

Chen Zhou: "Heh, so it's just a nobody... a reborn female protagonist."

The strategy guide looked at Cheng Yan: "This is the most tragic reborn female lead I've ever seen."

Chen Xin and Dou Wen exchanged a glance: "Reborn?"
