I am Jinshan Youxia

"Boom!" With the fewest bruises on his body, Zheng Zha, empowered by the first-order gene lock, successfully pushed out a palm and smashed the steel plate in front of him into a pulp.

"I succeeded!" He deactivated the gene lock, a joyful expression on his face.

"Snapped!"

The plastic marble fell to the ground with a thud, and Zheng Zha grimaced as he rubbed his arm, which now had an extra bruise.

"You've only learned one move of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms."

Zhang Chengyi's voice came, "Keep practicing." He modified some martial arts techniques from the Tianlong world and taught them to the newcomers of the Zhongzhou team as special training content.

Because in the world of Tianlong, many masters helped to dissect many martial arts techniques. Although he may be far behind in theory, his practical application of martial arts is definitely that of a master.

Now that this troll body is free from internal and external injuries, I can try it out as much as I want. The Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts are quite compatible with the Hong Kong comic book internal energy of the Main God Card, especially in the areas where power is exerted, the difference is not significant.

He doesn't expect all the newcomers to become highly skilled martial arts masters; as long as they can use the skills, that's enough. With his guidance, it's not difficult for them to master the techniques of using some external martial arts in combat.

"I'm talking to you, Li Xiaoyi, your waist and stance are perfectly synchronized, look at you..."

Chapter 89 The Evil One

"Enter the beam of light within thirty seconds, target locked, Ghostbusters begin teleportation."

Six new members of the Central Continent Team, six identical creations, and one and a half guides, entered a half-dream, half-awake state for a moment, and then their eyes lit up as they saw tall, lush, and verdant trees.

Looking around, it was a wooded area with a certain slope, probably on the mountainside. The bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the branches and leaves onto the ground covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, making it look like a good place for an outdoor picnic. However, it was completely silent, without any human voices or insects and birds, which immediately made the atmosphere a bit eerie.

"Ghost movies, and..."

Zhan Lan's gaze swept over the people lying on the ground. "Difficulty level of 20 people."

Zheng Zha looked down at his wristwatch: "If you survive until dawn tomorrow, each member of the team will be rewarded with 5,000 reward points plus one B-grade horror movie side story."

"Defeat the evil spirit once and you will receive a C-level horror movie side quest, rewarding you with 2,000 points."

The newcomers didn't feel the rewards were particularly generous; they only felt a sense of heaviness in their hearts. Even if they learned martial arts, became experts, and exchanged for a series of items that could attack ghosts and monsters, such as storage rings, amulets, spirit bullets, Three Pure Ones talismans, and evil-repelling peach wood swords, they still had no confidence whatsoever when they actually faced the legendary ghosts and monsters.

Fortunately, the big boss Zhang Chengyi was very calm, which made their emotions much more stable.

"The plot of Evil Dead is quite simple." The chubby boy remembered it well. As the boss's number one lackey, he thought Zhang Chengyi watched Evil Dead while training them because he liked it, so he secretly watched the Evil Dead trilogy several times. He didn't expect to use it so soon.

"In the first part, two men and three women go to a cabin on a mountain to play. They find a book of the dead in the cabin. The people who unearthed the book of the dead left a recording. After they played the recording, they awakened the evil spirits underground. One by one, they were possessed by the evil spirits and killed each other until the final ending hinted that everyone was wiped out."

"But if it continues into a sequel, the protagonist Ash Williams not only survives, but also becomes the savior chosen by the Book of the Dead."

"The Can Darian region, the source of the Book of the Dead in the Evil Dead movies." The ordinary-looking bespectacled newcomer stood up from the side and said, "The correct name of that Book of the Dead is [Naturon Demonto]."

"While the root word Demon in Demono is often translated as 'devil' in English, it actually comes from the Greek word daimon, meaning 'distributor,' which is a lower-ranking deity in Greek mythology, mostly serving as the guardian of a person or place."

"It can also be translated as elf, demigod, or sub-god."

"Later, with the rise of Christianity, God was regarded as the only God, and the gods of the Greek pantheon naturally became 'demons'."

"The professor who excavates the ruins in the movie translates this book as the Book of the Dead. This is because placing the Book of the Dead among burial objects was a custom of the ancient Egyptians. The contents of the book are said to be spells to help the dead overcome difficulties and obtain eternal life."

"In other words, the Book of the Dead is a category. I speculate that the Book of the Dead in the movie is meant to allow the deceased to call upon the local gods of the Kandarian region for protection."

"The evidence for this is that the evil spirits in the movie are called Deadites, which means the dead."

"An evil spirit endowed with the characteristics of immortality by the earth god."

You're a real genius.

Zhang Chengyi looked over and felt that this guy must have read the script, how could he guess this?

In fact, in the sequel to the TV series Evil Dead, a world-destroying 'demon' named Kandarian the Destroyer was indeed summoned. Even though the protagonist Ash, as the recorded savior, was already incredibly powerful, modern human society was still destroyed. When Ash woke up at the end of the TV series, it was already a wasteland in the end times of humankind.

After all, in the original setting, evil spirits are immortal and can only be banished to other dimensions; humans simply cannot withstand them.

A series of corresponding settings prove that both the film crew and the subsequent TV series crew have done a lot of research.

But what's outrageous is that Chu Xuan, who clearly hadn't watched the TV series because it was set later in the story, somehow managed to figure out most of the background, and even guessed that the movie version was setting up a final boss, a land god or a demon...

According to the worldview of Infinite Terror, the sleeping Kandarian in Evil Dead should probably be a minor god in the Greek pantheon.

If it's a secondary god, it should be at most a fourth-order being?

Perhaps we could consider coming in later and farming Kandarian?

"My name is Chu Xuan." The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the six identical faces of the created beings without batting an eye. He then revealed a seemingly normal smile and said, "If you don't mind, could you tell me where this place is?"

As he spoke, the newlyweds gradually stood up. One of them, a young man with a brass ring on his face, stood up and shouted, "Who the hell are you? What are you doing here? Believe me or not, I'll kill you all!"

As he spoke, he pulled a gun out of his pocket.

"Thump!" The next second, Li Xiaoyi, his face full of disgust, pressed the young man with the copper ring to the ground, stepped on the young man's cheek with one foot, crushed the plastic gun in his hand, and said, "Captain, it's fake."

Upon seeing this, the portly middle-aged man couldn't help but take a half step back, accidentally stepping on the foot of the tall, strong white man. He was then pushed away and fell to the ground, which ironically attracted everyone's attention.

On the other side, a handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old with fair and delicate skin stood quietly at the back of the crowd, observing the wristwatch on his wrist.

Now we don't need to worry about whether or not to unlock people's genetic potential.

Zhang Chengyi didn't engage with Chu Xuan. He knew he couldn't possibly outwit a monster who had read the script, nor did he need to. What boss would worry about an employee being too efficient?

He said, "Zhan Lan, go and explain the situation to the newlyweds."

"We can take action if necessary."

He could have chosen to directly pass on his skills to the newcomers, since the troll's internal energy was limitless thanks to his data manipulation abilities. He just couldn't be bothered to save some truly idiots.

For example, the young man with copper rings, or the white-collar worker with a "I'm just watching your act" look on his face—these newcomers who don't believe in the status quo at all are pointless to save; in a ghost-themed horror film with a 20-person difficulty level, they are just pure burdens.

In Resident Evil 1, even the chubby guy and the middle-aged woman who were eliminated at the beginning were seriously accepting reality; they were simply killed because they lacked the stamina to descend the death staircase.

Whether to save someone or not is just a matter of a single thought, but Zhang Chengyi never saves those who are unwilling to save themselves.

Chapter 90: The terrain was drastically altered as expected.

"Did everyone understand?"

After Zhan Lan finished explaining the Main God Space, a sudden gust of wind swept in, rustling the leaves, as if something was welcoming the arrival of humans.

The horror movie has started.

The newcomers, who didn't believe in horror movies or the concept of the Main God Space, dispersed on their own, trying to find a way down the mountain.

Zhang Chengyi and Zhang Jie's inaction meant that although Zheng Zha and his group had an absolute advantage in strength, they lacked the awareness of senior members. Instead, they spoke politely to the newcomers, and as expected, Chu Xuan took over the initiative.

In just a few minutes, everyone who was willing to stay introduced themselves and got to know each other under the guidance of Colonel Chu.

Several passersby, Li Shuaixi, Bawang Kampa Rovski, Zero Point, and—

"Zhao Yingkong, an assassin."

The handsome young man, who had always stood on the edge of the crowd, spoke coldly at the end.

[As expected, the main god actually threw in such a high-caliber talent a film early, which probably coincides with my plan to get the Central Continent team, who are frantically racking up points, into the team battle ahead of time.]

Zhang Chengyi thought that he should send the fastest body, Shining's body, and Spider-Man's body away from the crowd to explore the mountain.

He wanted to check if there were any changes to the terrain. Sometimes the changes made by the main gods to horror movies are insane; Raccoon City in the novel Resident Evil 2 is a good example.

Raising scores during intermissions doesn't affect the difficulty of the next horror movie, but the rating consists of two parts: half is from boosting and half is from redeeming.

The main god not only looks at the score, but also at the reward points spent and the side quests.

The Zhongzhou team already had a high rating because of Zhang Jie, and with six people creating babies and all six team members frantically exchanging items, the rating was really high, to the point that it would significantly change the plot.

"Have I not yet consulted these gentlemen?" Chu Xuan asked politely, his expression so obedient that he seemed like a clerical worker who wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.

Zhang Chengyi smiled as he looked at Chu Xuan, who was pretending to be weak, without exposing him. Instead, he said, "Let's just call him the captain of the Central Continent Team for now."

After saying that, he turned to Zheng Zha and said, "We can't get out of this mountain. There must be some kind of force affecting us. The forest is dangerous. Let's go find the wooden house in the movie."

Even with the supersonic speed of Shining and Spider-Man's bodies, they couldn't escape. No matter how fast they ran, the surrounding scenery was always the same forest. Furthermore, their T-virus evolved bodies, with their most acute senses, were constantly in a state of danger and alert. Clearly, it was the Kandarian underground that was causing the trouble.

At least a fourth-tier level of strength couldn't be directly released by the main god, otherwise the Central Continent team wouldn't have survived. But it should still be able to affect the surrounding environment. Considering the difficulty of twenty people, it might be in a semi-awakened state.

Then the forest in the wild would be troublesome. According to the movie, the cabin is much safer than the wild, so there is no reason not to go there.

The main god threw Zhao Yingkong, who had unlocked the lock, into this movie. This movie is definitely a high-difficulty score-farming movie before the team battle, similar to Ju-on in the original work.

Ignore Kandarian and focus on fighting the evil spirits in the cabin according to the plan. You should be able to pass the level successfully and reap a lot of rewards even if some people die.

If you have any other ideas, such as a head-on confrontation in the woods, you should probably be prepared to face Kandarian.

Even if it's just a portion of their strength, it will probably force Zhang Chengyi to use his trump cards to fight back.

The most cost-effective way to boost your score is to "defeat the evil spirits" at the cabin. It's not like you're fighting the Kandarians, so there's no need to do it now. It's better to wait until the horror movie is over and then figure out a way to boost your score during the intermission.

Seeing that Zhang Chengyi had no intention of communicating with him, Chu Xuan wisely retreated into the crowd and, under the protection of Zheng Zha and others, began to search along the roadside for the wooden house that was likely at the end of the road.

The sun is setting in the west; it will probably be dusk in about two hours.

The evil spirits in this horror film are very active at night.

"Squeak~" "Hehehe, hahaha"

Zheng Zha suddenly stopped. His overly sensitive spiritual senses made him hear a strange sound. His eyes went blank instantly. He had already activated the first-level gene lock, and a powerful fusion gun appeared out of thin air in his hand. He decisively pressed the trigger, and an energy ball burst out, directly melting two adjacent trees not far away in half.

Chu Xuan glanced at the Strong Fusion Spear, then at Zheng Zha's expression, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Did you...did you just hear that?"

Zheng Zha snapped out of his daze and realized that everyone was looking at him, so he couldn't help but ask.

Most of the newcomers were confused, but Zhan Lan nodded and said, "It's the sound of branches moving and strange laughter."

“I heard it too.” Li Xiaoyi’s expression was also somewhat strange.

Even though he was strong enough and had many protective items, a strange fear arose from within him when he heard the sound.

The chubby boy slowly exhaled and said, "The forest on the mountain is controlled by evil spirits. Be careful not to get close to the trees and vines."

"Also, be careful not to get hurt, as the evil spirits in this horror movie can invade a person's body by harming them."

"If the wound isn't fatal, cut it off immediately; it might be useful."

"Caw~ Caw~ Caw~" The trees not far away swayed in the wind, making a rattling sound, as if something was mocking humans.

Zhao Yingkong, who was walking at the back, appeared calm, but in reality, all her muscles were tense. She was on the verge of unlocking her genetic potential. If an enemy appeared, she would definitely be able to dismember the enemy with her fingers immediately.

The tree that was broken by the fusion gun was left with only two stumps, which were black in color and looked as if they had been broken for a long time, without any sign of plant life.
