The next moment, Lu Ye's body trembled as if he had been hit, and then fell helplessly downwards.

The howling wind raged through the deep canyon, making it impossible to hear any other sounds.

"Hmph, you ignorant fool." Bai Teng slowly lowered the cannon barrel.

"You're courting death? Who are you referring to?"

A strange boy's voice rang out behind him, and Bai Teng's eyes widened abruptly.

She slowly lowered her head and looked at her chest.

There, a sharp blade pierced his chest, blood still flowing from the tip, warm blood.

"How...could this be?"

At this moment, even firing a cannonball at her feet to take down the intruder was difficult for Bai Teng, because the rapid loss of blood took away a lot of heat from her body, and the cold wind completely froze her fingers.

"Your eyesight is excellent, but your hearing isn't so good. Didn't you hear the grappling hook grabbing the rock face?"

Without giving any chance, the blade was pulled out, and blood gushed out in large quantities.

Then, my body collapsed limply, and everything went dark...

At that moment, Lu Ye suddenly sensed something.

[Level Up: Lv14—Lv15]

[Gain memories of the battle with Shirafuji]

Even when in dire straits, he can deceive an opponent with the eyes of a snake using methods beyond his wildest dreams.

Viewing this memory at the Sculptor's Idol can enhance your combat experience.

In the game, defeating such elite monsters should yield Buddhist beads, but the Sculptor's Idol purchased from the shop clearly only records the battle process, i.e., battle memory.

In fact, Lu Ye's strategy was very simple.

Feigning death and launching a surprise attack.

Lu Ye did indeed intend to use the mist drifting in the canyon to hide, but what he wanted to hide was not his body, but something much more subtle. Even if a snake's eyesight is excellent, it is impossible to see things that are already difficult to see.

Lu Ye used the wedge-shaped bullet to tear his clothes, used the cloth-covered blade to deflect the lead bullets and avoid sparks, then pretended to be hit and fell down.

Although the valley is bottomless, as long as the descent is not too fast, one can be safe with the help of a grappling hook.

Then, in the mist below the canyon, he used a grappling hook to reach the location of the white vines.

—Located to the left front of the broken bridge, below a huge Buddha face.

The cliff face was surrounded by large rocks, making it an ideal spot for sniping. However, due to its terrain, it also became a blind spot for other snakes, which is why Lu Ye was able to assassinate Bai Teng silently without being detected.

"The other snake eyes must have already become alerted, since that's the case..."

Lu Ye's body disappeared into the valley once again.

"We took care of that guy, right?"

"Yes, in a valley this deep, it's practically impossible to survive."

Above the fortress, the snake-eyed creatures were talking.

But at that moment, a blade pierced horizontally through the necks of the two men, reminiscent of skewered roasted chicken necks.

"Ugh..."

"Cuckoo..."

Blood was churning in their throats, and the two men couldn't even call for help.

Lu Ye's heart pounded, even though it wasn't the first time he had killed someone.

But this sense of tension still lingered in my mind.

But it has to be done.

For Violet...

Anyone who stands in my way must die!

The killing of the two snake-eyed individuals was quickly noticed by other sharp-eyed snakes.

"no no!"

"How come he's still alive?!"

Lu Ye pulled out a double-action revolver, drew his gun, and fired.

Unlike when he was on the bridge, he had now arrived at the fortress and was not far from the snake eyes, already within firing range.

The bullet pierced Snake Eyes' left abdomen, where his kidneys are located, and he died instantly after the double explosion.

Lu Ye used the hook rope to swing quickly close the distance and began to sweep them one by one.

Blades pierced their bodies, blood stained the bandages, and bullets from revolvers continued to take the lives of these enemies.

The muzzle velocity of the musket was far lower than that of a modern revolver, and its penetrating power was also weak. Every snake eye that Lu Ye got close to became his human shield.

Just ten minutes later, the gunshots and screams that echoed through the canyon disappeared.

Lu Ye stood by the gate of the fortress, waving his right hand to wipe the blood off the wedge-shaped object.

He turned around, looked at the canyon where only the cold wind raged, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

If you guys could just pretend you didn't see me, like the sensible minions in a game.

Unfortunately... this just allowed me to successfully infiltrate the area.

As Lu Ye entered the cave within the fortress, he felt the temperature rise slightly.

The cave contains the snake-eyed creatures' stored food and ammunition.

Lu Ye looked around and was surprised to find that there were still oil bottles.

He thought for a moment, then took a can and put it into his storage space.

The width is just right, with some gaps.

However, this means that only small gadgets such as pistols can be placed inside.

Upon venturing deeper into the cave, it was discovered that the carved stone chambers were supported by crudely made wooden supports, and small, nearly burnt-out candles were placed on the ground for illumination.

The further you go, the more open it becomes.

At the end of the passage was a wooden house, inside which sat a Buddha statue with its legs crossed.

Then--

A strange body.

A head wrapped in bandages.

The menacing hooks embedded in its back.

And limbs with extremely sharp claws...

A figure lying on the ground was facing Lu Ye.

No, this can no longer be called a human being.

Because Lu Ye recognized it.

A person with long arms and white feet.

Chapter 138 Luring the Monkey Out of His Hole

The long-armed, centipede-like creature is essentially a type of cyborg, created by Senpou Temple.

Upon seeing Lu Ye, it immediately brandished its sharp, long claws and attacked.

The claws were so fast and dense as a net that Lu Ye couldn't fire a shot at them.

Left with no other choice, he raised his hand to block, and the wedge-shaped ball collided with the sharp claws, creating a shower of sparks.

If it were the first time encountering a centipede with long arms and legs, most people would probably be defeated by its swift attacks.

But Lu Ye has regained his memories.

He knew exactly how to deal with the inhuman monster in front of him.

Using the techniques of the Ashina style's "Kagami" (a type of attack), Lu Ye methodically deflected its attacks.

Observe the offensive, predict the attack's landing point, and block...

The blade should be swung with a small range of motion. In order to conserve precious energy during battle, the strength of the arm must be precisely controlled...

This was an extremely demanding process that tested one's eyesight, but his previous encounters with Xiao and Yixin had given Lu Ye ample experience. Sometimes speed wasn't scary; what was truly frightening was the hidden killing intent concealed within those hundreds of slashes.

After Lu Ye deflected hundreds of attacks from the centipede's long arms, he finally made it stagger, creating a vulnerability.

Bounce away, aim for the head, and then stab!

The creature, with its long arms and legs, was stabbed in the left eye and let out a sharp wail.

But Lu Ye did not pause at all. Instead, he put all his strength into his hands and sent the blade of the Kusabi Maru into the brain of the centipede.

The enemy is now dead.

The reason we were able to defeat the enemy so quickly was thanks to our previous battle with Isshin.

At that time, Lu Ye was the same, relentlessly attacking without remembering the strain and consumption of his body's energy.

By the time they realized what was happening, the knife had already been deflected by Isshin.

The number of enemies ahead had decreased significantly, and the bottomless valley had disappeared, replaced by a deep pool of water with scattered lotus flowers stretching into the distance.

Lu Ye walked along the mountain path, carefully watching for the white snake's tracks, while simultaneously touching the stone wall with his hand. This way, if the white snake got close, its scales would rub against the mountain wall, inevitably making a slight sound.

It's not advisable to confront such a behemoth head-on; let the Imperial Army deal with it.

With that thought in mind, Lu Ye quietly arrived at Bodhisattva Valley.

"Oh oh oh..."

The cries of a group of monkeys could be heard in the distance.

The valley is named after the several Bodhisattva statues carved into the mountainside, which are tens of meters long and extremely high. Without superhuman jumping ability and tools, it would be difficult to walk freely here.
