I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan recognized the ugly, grotesque monster in front of him.

It was the Wendigo that escaped from Spring Town before!

When Wendigo saw Li Yuan, the god of death, reappear, he was so frightened that he immediately turned and ran away.

More than 10 Wendigos couldn't take him down that day, let alone now that he was all alone.

Wendigo planned to go into the cave to find reinforcements and see if he could stop Li Yuan.

Wendigo casually directed Marty, who had been transformed into a monster.

They blocked Li Yuan from behind, slowing down his pursuit!

Li Yuan glanced at Mati, who was rushing towards him, but didn't stop.

The instant his right hand drew the pistol, he pulled the trigger!

"Bang--"

[Ding! Destroyed an E-rank cave crawler, gained 3 Holy Light Points, total Holy Light Points 25!]

Marty's head was smashed by a single bullet.

The lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Yuan watched Wendigo run faster and faster, a cold smile appearing on his face:

"Heh, this time you won't have a chance to escape!"

With that, Li Yuan waved his right hand, and the [Hammer of Sanction] was instantly and successfully released!

The phantom of the giant hammer smashed directly onto Wendigo's head.

Wendigo, who was fleeing for his life, suddenly stopped.

It rolled around with a gurgling sound and lost consciousness.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; by the time the two women realized what was happening,

All dangers have been nipped in the bud by Li Yuan.

Ashley jumped off the motorcycle excitedly.

He grabbed Jessica, who was slumped on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Jessica, it's all my fault..."

Ashley felt deeply guilty.

If she hadn't started organizing this event, this wouldn't have happened.

Jessica, who survived the ordeal, was speechless.

She just kept sobbing; she couldn't accept the way Marty had turned into a monster.

Li Yuan paid no attention to the two women behind him.

Instead, she took out the [Compliance Potion] prepared by Adeline from the system space and came to Wendigo's side.

I don't know if it will work on you.

For ease of use, Adeline prepared a simplified version.

It wasn't as effective as the bowl of medicine she had prepared for Li Yuan.

Seeing that Wendigo seemed to be showing signs of waking up,

Li Yuan quickly bent down and pried open its ugly mouth.

"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try!"

Li Yuan raised his right hand and poured the [Compliance Potion] directly into Wendigo's mouth.

Wendigo, who had just woken up, glared at everyone and struggled to escape.

The next second, a faint purple halo suddenly flashed in Wendigo's eyes.

Then, his gaze gradually became vacant.

Just as Li Yuan was about to make his move, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and muttered to himself:

"It seems that Adeline's potion is quite effective."

He looked at Wendigo, whose gaze was vacant, and asked in a deep voice:

"Whose orders do you take?"

Wendigo's voice, as mechanical as ever, slowly uttered a name:

"My master, George Paten."

"It really was that bastard!"

Upon hearing that name, Li Yuan immediately frowned.

He muttered a curse under his breath.

Then the most crucial question was asked:

"Where is George Patten's stronghold?"

Paten Estate

"I know it's called Pateng Manor too!"

Li Yuan was speechless at Wendigo's mind.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly had an idea:

"How far is the estate from Chattanooga, and in which direction is it located?"

Li Yuan was also somewhat uneasy about these two questions.

He didn't know if the Wendigo could actually tell where it was.

To Li Yuan's delight, Wendigo's expression showed a moment of struggle.

They actually pinpointed the exact location!

"Walden Ridge, 11 miles from Chattanooga."

The Wendigo can speak and possesses human-like thinking.

This is because before they were transformed, they were actually servants of the Pa Teng family.

"Well done, good boy!"

Li Yuan praised him, then, still not entirely convinced, continued to probe:

What's around there?

"Lakes, forests, caves."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then slowly stood up.

"Since you're so obedient, there's no need to keep you around."

As he spoke, Li Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Brotherhood's sword, then swung it fiercely.

He severed Wendigo's neck in an instant!

[Ding! Destroyed a C-rank evil creature: Wendigo! Gained 5 Holy Light Points and 100 Experience Points!]

After dealing with Wendigo, Li Yuan turned to look at the two women:

"Hey! Do you have any other companions?"

"have!"

Ashley quickly agreed, then looked at Jessica and asked in confusion:

"Where are Marty and Joe?"

"Marty..."

Jessica stretched out a trembling hand, pointing at the monster whose head had been blown off by Li Yuan:

"That's Marty... I recognize that outfit..."

"My God..."

Ashley was somewhat devastated.

But she still forced back her grief and continued to ask:

"What about Joe? He also..."

"Ashley, I don't know if he's still alive..."

Jessica said in a trembling voice:

"But I saw that the monster crawled out of his tent."

Ashley's expectant gaze dimmed.

Because of his suggestion, two of his close friends died.

Looking at the two of them, Li Yuan sighed and said softly:

"Let's go take a look. As long as he's still breathing, I can save him."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Ashley's eyes immediately lit up with renewed hope.

She pulled Jessica up with all her might, encouraging her excitedly:

"Jessica, you lead the way. Maybe Joe is still waiting for us to rescue him!"

Jessica nodded vigorously upon hearing this:

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Ashley helped the weakened Jessica up.

He got on Li Yuan's Holy Light Motorcycle.

Guided by Jessica, Li Yuan slowly drove into the depths of the canyon.

The motorcycle traveled through the rugged canyon as if it were flat ground.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the cave where they were camping.

After getting out of the car, Ashley looked at the bloodstains remaining on the tent in the distance.

My heart sank.

With that exaggerated amount of bleeding, it's hard to believe he could survive.

Seeing this, Li Yuan whispered instructions to the two of them:

"Don't come any closer, just wait there."

The two hugged each other nervously and nodded to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan quickly walked to the tent.

They found only a pool of blood inside, but Joe had vanished without a trace.

However, when Li Yuan stepped out of the tent, he found a string of bloody footprints on the side!

Without time to think, Li Yuan followed the trail of footprints on the ground and slowly entered the cave.

Looking at the footprints that led deep into the cave, Li Yuan stopped.

After a moment's thought, he turned back to the two women and asked in a low voice:

"There were footprints extending deep into the cave, but I don't believe they were your friends."

That amount of bleeding couldn't possibly have sustained him for that long.

Ashley and Jessica exchanged a glance.

They thought Li Yuan didn't want to go deeper into the cave and wanted to take them away.

But at that moment, Li Yuan continued:

"But I want to go in and take a look. If you don't want to come in with me, you'd better leave."

Li Yuan glanced around at his surroundings and said softly:

"I can't guarantee there aren't any other monsters around."
