Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 254: Mountain Stronghold
This sudden turn of events!
Stunned everyone!
They didn’t expect Lin Lang to act so decisively!
And in such a rule-breaking way—
Isn’t there a saying that you shouldn’t hit someone in the face?
Lin Beixuan was even more enraged!
“Ahhh! You brat! I’m going to tear you to pieces!”
He widened his eyes and charged at Lin Lang with fists swinging!
“Beixuan, don’t be impulsive!”
Wen Feiyan hurriedly moved to try and stop him!
But just at that moment!
Ding Xinrou had already rushed in front of Lin Beixuan!
A gleam of cold light flashed!
Her blade had already pierced Lin Beixuan’s chest!
“Ah!”
The onlookers gasped in shock!
“Female Knight! Please show mercy!”
The woman named Wen Feiyan hurriedly pleaded!
But at such a distance!
They were clearly too late to stop it!
The crowd was terrified, thinking they were about to witness a bloody slaughter!
Lin Beixuan was also in disbelief!
…
However!
Ding Xinrou’s blade stopped midair!
It did not continue downward—
This wasn’t because she was soft-hearted.
It was because Lin Lang intervened in time.
Using spiritual qi to block her blade.
Then, the spiritual qi wrapped around her waist, pulling her back to his side.
“Hold your hand for now.”
Lin Lang’s voice remained calm and composed, yet his gaze exuded undeniable authority!
The others were dumbfounded by the scene!
They finally realized the strength of Lin Lang and his group!
They instantly became much more composed!
No longer daring to shout insults!
Even their eyes became clearer!
They knew they might have messed with the wrong people this time—
Indeed.
Anyone daring to wander in the wilderness where fierce beasts roam surely isn’t ordinary!
…
Wen Feiyan came to her senses.
She stepped forward quickly, standing between Lin Lang and Lin Beixuan.
Her voice gentle and sincere, with a hint of apology, she said to Lin Lang:
“I’m sorry, sir! He’s hot-tempered and offended you, please forgive him.”
Wen Feiyan’s eyes were filled with sincerity and apology.
She knew well that in this environment, even a small conflict could escalate into a major confrontation.
Therefore, she was trying her best to quell the situation and prevent it from worsening.
Moreover!
This was Lin Beixuan’s fault, to begin with!
…
“Hmm.”
Lin Lang’s gaze was deep and calm, viewing Wen Feiyan with a look that was both scrutinizing and appreciative.
In her, he detected a quality different from conventional beauties—
A unique charm that blended strength and grace, resilient yet full of feminine allure!
Wen Feiyan’s brow exuded a heroic spirit, as if she could at any moment join the army and head to the battlefield!
Being observed by Lin Lang with such focus.
Wen Feiyan wasn’t embarrassed, instead, she laughed heartily with a carefree demeanor:
“Sir, may I ask what brings you here, is there anything we can assist with?”
Wen Feiyan’s voice was clear and her words very appropriate.
Lin Lang smiled slightly:
“We are here to find a place not shrouded in red mist. I heard there’s a survivor base called ’Martial God Village’ around here?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Feiyan’s eyes flashed with a hint of realization, followed by some worry:
“Oh, Martial God Village, indeed there’s no red mist there, but… are you martial artists?”
“No.”
Lin Lang replied.
“That’s a bit problematic.”
Wen Feiyan explained.
“It’s a gathering place for cultivators of martial dao, if you aren’t martial artists, you might face some unfriendliness.”
“After all, in Martial God Village, martial arts cultivation is an important measure of a person’s value.”
Lin Lang was unfazed:
“It’s okay, we just want to find it.”
At this moment.
Lin Beixuan, still dissatisfied with Lin Lang, muttered softly:
“Humph! Scared off our fierce beasts with your clumsiness! Still looking for Martial God Village…”
Wen Feiyan’s face darkened, she sternly interrupted Lin Beixuan’s words:
“Enough! What you need now is calm and reflection, not to make a fuss here.”
Lin Lang observed this.
He couldn’t help but view Wen Feiyan in a different light—
She truly possessed the qualities of a leader!
…
At this moment.
Wen Feiyan looked up at the sky; the sun was already setting, and it was getting darker.
Thus, she made a suggestion:
“It’s late, and if you don’t mind, you can spend the night at our mountain stronghold.”
Visiting someone else’s place again?
Upon hearing this, Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou subconsciously showed a hint of caution on their faces!
Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years!
Lin Lang thought about it, and while spending the night outdoors wasn’t dangerous,
it indeed wasn’t very comfortable.
So he said:
“Then we’ll be imposing.”
“It’s no imposition.”
Wen Feiyan replied with a polite smile.
“Wait a moment.”
At this time!
Lin Lang slowly closed his eyes, exuding a tranquil and mystical aura around him.
His Divine Sense, like an invisible net, instantly spread out, covering the entire forest.
Under the guidance of his Divine Sense, he accurately pinpointed the location of the escaped fierce beast.
Lin Lang gently waved his hand, and a subtle stream of Spiritual Qi flowed from his fingertips, transforming into a beam of light as it swiftly navigated the forest.
The stream of Spiritual Qi, like a living dragon, flexibly and precisely captured the traces of the fierce beast, binding it tightly!
Moments later, the fierce beast that had previously vanished without a trace was effortlessly captured and brought back by this stream of Spiritual Qi!
Everyone witnessed this scene, utterly astonished.
They had never seen such magical techniques!
It was truly like something out of a myth or legend, like an Immortal!
“There, it’s caught!”
“Th-thank you, sir!”
…
Together, the group lifted the fierce beast captured by Lin Lang and set off on the path back to the stronghold.
Lin Lang and his companions followed behind, walking steadily and at ease.
On the way, Wen Feiyan curiously asked Lin Lang and his companions their names and origins.
Upon learning that they had come from the distant Bright Moon City, Wen Feiyan couldn’t help showing an expression of surprise.
She was well aware of the perilous and lengthy journey, and couldn’t help but have a deeper respect for Lin Lang and his group.
“With such a long journey, you must have encountered many dangers, right?”
Wen Feiyan asked with concern.
This time, Lü Su Ran was relatively relaxed, nodding with a smile.
Evidently, she had already read Wen Feiyan’s thoughts just now.
Knowing she wasn’t a bad person.
…
Soon after, the group arrived at Wen Feiyan’s home.
To Lin Lang and his companions’ surprise, this group actually lived on the mountain!
However!
Unlike the simple accommodations they had seen before, the defensive measures here were much more sophisticated.
They lived in treehouses that cleverly utilized the natural shape of the trees, being both strong and concealed.
Furthermore, within the stronghold, many fierce beasts were raised.
These fierce beasts were well cared for, appearing both strong and fierce.
Lin Lang and his companions couldn’t help but admire Wen Feiyan and her group’s courage and wisdom!
To be able to survive and thrive in such an environment.
[Wen Jie]
[Combat Power: A]
[Superpower: Light Eye (Level 10)]
Wen Feiyan’s father, the leader of the stronghold, Wen Jie, personally came out of the treehouse to greet them upon hearing of Lin Lang and his party’s arrival.
He was burly, with a resolute face, bearing some resemblance to Wen Feiyan.
Although wearing fur, he sported a pair of sunglasses that seemed out of place!
When Wen Jie learned that Lin Lang helped them capture the escaped fierce beast,
he showed a grateful expression:
“Mr. Lin Lang, we’ve heard of your heroic deeds, truly cannot thank you enough!”
Wen Jie said sincerely.
“However! We cannot accept such a valuable gift freely, please feel free to choose any fierce beast here, or take away a treasure!”
As soon as Wen Jie finished speaking, the residents of the stronghold began to get busy—
They all took out their treasures and placed them in front of Lin Lang.
These treasures were dazzling:
There was special equipment that could make fierce beasts avoid in fear!
There were precious herbs and minerals!
And some exotic items never seen before…
However!
Lin Lang wasn’t interested in these treasures.
He cast his gaze over these items one by one.
Finally, his eyes settled on Wen Feiyan nearby.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly asked:
“Can I trade these treasures for you?”
