Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 119 Infiltration

Lin Fan glanced at Er Gou speechlessly, "Don't make me sound like a psychopathic killer."

After saying that, Lin Fan casually tore off some cloth to stop his bleeding, and then turned to Niu Dadan, "Niu Dadan, what's wrong with you again? Wasn't Sun Ruolan home visiting her family?"

Niu Dadan rushed over, only now thinking about what to say. In short, he said the most important thing: "Brother Lin, Ruolan has been captured by a vicious beast. Please help me save her."

Lin Fan frowned slightly. He and Doctor Lei had brought this couple along on their journey so they could look after each other if anything happened. Sun Ruolan usually took care of all the laundry and cooking, so it was neither morally nor logically wrong for them to stand by and watch someone die. But he had just decided not to get involved in the animal attack, and now he was back in the same boat, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Niu Dadan, do you have any leads? Where was Sun Ruolan taken?"

Niu Dadan shook his head, but still added, "Perhaps she was taken away by the Li family. I don't ask Brother Lin to risk his life to go to the Li family for us. I just ask that they search the surrounding area and that Ruolan hasn't been taken into the county town."

Lin Fan was puzzled. "What does this have to do with the Li family?"

Niu Dadan looked conflicted. "I do have some connection with the Li family. But I'm sure Ruolan's arrest wasn't because of me. As for who wanted to arrest Ruolan and why, I don't really know."

Lin Fan wasn't a gossipy person, so since the other party had already said so, he didn't want to delve any further.

"That guy named Su Qiao mentioned there's a place nearby where dangerous beasts are kept and people are captured. I can go with you to take a look. If we can't find it..."

Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Niu Dadan excitedly stood up, "I only ask that Brother Lin accompany me to that place to take a look. If we can't find it, I promise I won't bother you again."

Lin Fan nodded; given their friendship, he only intended to help to this extent.

"Brother Lin, this guy surnamed Niu is lying to you, why did you believe him?"

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Ma Sijiao with her bare, delicate white feet, using a corpse as a balance beam, tiptoeing lightly on it.

Lin Fan didn't want to pay any attention to her, and he didn't believe her at all.

But Ma Sijiao was already used to Lin Fan's indifference, and said to herself, "You won't find Sun Ruolan like this. I know where she is and how to save her. Just listen to me and you won't need to waste your energy going around hitting walls."

Lin Fan finally reacted, "If you know, just say it, stop talking nonsense!"

Ma Sijiao jumped off the corpse, then used her hands to brace herself and did a front flip, her red skirt flipping up to reveal her underpants. She was becoming increasingly carefree; after all, no one but Lin Fan could see her.

Standing in front of Lin Fan, Ma Sijiao stood on one leg, holding up one of her small, white feet that had stepped on a corpse, and presented it to Lin Fan. "Brother Lin, you know, just lick it and I'll tell you."

"Aren't you tired of this trick yet? I'm sick of seeing it."

Ma Sijiao smiled sweetly, "Hehe, I'm very patient. You'll agree one day. You have no idea who you've messed with this time. Do you think you'll always be as easy to deal with as Lin Fugui? This time you're facing an ancient force that's no less powerful than the Feng and Ma families! Only with my help can you escape unscathed. Otherwise, even if you turn around and run now, it won't help!"

"I don't need you! Get out!"

Ma Sijiao's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only her last voice, which changed from a delicate female voice to an androgynous one, "Lin Fan, you're a fool too. Why didn't you take the easy way out, instead of crashing your head into a bloody mess!"

The people around him stared at Lin Fan talking to thin air, bewildered, and dared not disturb him.

Seeing that Lin Fan had finished speaking, Niu Dadan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, is it that possessing spirit again? Does she have a way to find Ruolan? If there's any price to pay, let me handle it."

Lin Fan shook his head. "She's an evil spirit. Believing in this kind of thing will only lead to a bad end."

Niu Dadan had no choice but to abandon the idea. He knew more about Lin Fan's secrets than he did. Just as Lin Fan wouldn't insist on finding out about him, he wouldn't relentlessly pursue Lin Fan's secrets either.

Lin Fan picked up Su Qiao and had him lead the way.

Chen Ergou wanted to follow, but Lin Fan stopped him, saying, "Ergou, go back to the caravan and tell Doctor Lei what's going on here. Otherwise, the doctor might worry if we haven't returned. Also, tell him to prepare, we might need to rescue someone."

Chen Ergou looked eager to go and see the excitement, but Lin Fan had to put a knife to his neck before he obediently left.

Su Qiao led the two through a maze of turns, and as night deepened, Lin Fan estimated the time in his mind, deciding it would be best to wait until after midnight before making his move.

Soon, the group arrived at the front of a large, abandoned house, overgrown with weeds, and it didn't look like anyone lived there.

Su Qiao said, trembling, "They locked me up here, beat me, scolded me, taught me to speak animal language, and told me not to tell anyone that we could speak human language."

Niu Dadan clenched his fists. "How come this place is still here? It was clearly burned down, how come it's still here?"

The house did indeed bear many signs of fire damage. Perhaps due to timely rescue efforts, the main structure was saved, and a lot of new materials were obviously added. However, the people who did the repairs had no intention of restoring the fire-damaged house to its former glory. Instead, they aimed to do a shoddy job, resulting in a dilapidated and even more filthy house after the repairs were completed.

Lin Fan looked at Niu Dadan, "Do you know this place?"

Niu Dadan nodded. "Yes, I just didn't expect that even though this place was burned down, they could still recover."

Lin Fan felt a wet, sticky sensation from the sickle at his waist, knowing it was already past midnight. "Never mind that, let's find a way in to find Sun Ruolan." He patted Su Qiao on the shoulder. "You go back first."

Su Qiao didn't dare to stay there any longer and ran back the way she came, as if she had been granted a pardon.

As he spoke, Lin Fan tugged at his belt. He needed to stop using the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, which he had been using for a long time. The fatigue from the battle made him dizzy. Lin Fan rubbed his injured shoulder, hissed, and regained his composure.

After doing all that, he decisively jumped out and lightly leaped onto the courtyard wall.

Looking down from his vantage point, Lin Fan saw two patrolling beasts. They had long muzzles, but were clearly not wolves; they were probably weasels or something similar. They were slightly smaller than the giant wolf from before, but still close to the size of an average adult.

These two were different from the giant wolves that had impersonated mountain gods before. They were bipedal and carried long spears, making no attempt to conceal that they were actually human.

Lin Fan clicked his tongue. Those two giant wolves were at least at the level of second-tier martial artists in terms of physical strength alone. If these things were armed with spears, they would indeed be difficult to deal with. Moreover, these were just the ones patrolling at the entrance; who knew how many more were inside?

"Old Niu, is there any way to get in? The Hidden Trace Cloth can't hide two people."

Niu Dadan nodded and took out a twisting bag from his belt.
