Chapter 1172 - 1177: The Ancient House in the Valley

Thus, a group of drug traffickers, led by Yellow Fox, gritted their teeth and trekked forward into the desolate mountains and wilderness.On the late autumn night, the sky was overcast, with only a few stars visible. The autumn wind howled, and in the forest, the shadows of trees swayed, looking like numerous ghosts moving around. Despite having flashlights and weapons in hand, the traffickers shrank like quails, not daring to say a word, and followed Yellow Fox through the woods.

After Lin Feng heard the voices gradually fade away, he, along with Ye Lin, cautiously emerged from the tunnel. Once they confirmed the coast was clear, they pursued up the mountain.

Both Lin Feng and Ye Lin were masters of Inner Strength. These ordinary mountain roads were no challenge for them, but the traffickers had already gone far. Without flashlights, Lin Feng and Ye Lin were enveloped in darkness, which was a bit terrifying!

"Lin Feng... do you know which way they went?" Ye Lin asked tremulously, gripping Lin Feng’s shirt tightly, her voice quivering. She was ready to retreat with Lin Feng if he said he didn’t know the traffickers’ direction.

"Quiet!" Lin Feng’s voice was calm, "I can hear their movements..."

Then, Lin Feng grabbed Ye Lin’s hand, pointed to a faint light in the distance among the trees, and said, "Do you see that bit of light? That’s their flashlight!"

"Oh..." Ye Lin looked in the direction Lin Feng pointed and saw only a faint beam of light. Without Lin Feng’s reminder, she would have thought it was starlight.

After walking a while longer, Lin Feng also felt the silence around them was a bit terrifying, realizing Ye Lin’s thoughts. He opened his mouth to console her,

"Ye Lin, don’t be too afraid. Think about your injured comrades; they’ve suffered so many gunshot wounds and are still unsure of their fate. Don’t you want to avenge them? That’s why you came with me!"

"I know!" Ye Lin said resolutely, gritting her teeth.

She spoke decisively, but fear lingered in her heart. Fortunately, Lin Feng was with her tonight. Otherwise, if she had faced the bandits alone, she would only have met her death!

To avoid exposing themselves and to guard against the traffickers’ ambush, Lin Feng said nothing more.

The mountain road was steep. As Ye Lin walked, she suddenly felt her foot slip, and she abruptly fell into a pit over half a meter deep...

"Ah! Help!"

Ye Lin instinctively exclaimed.

Lin Feng reacted quickly, pulled Ye Lin out of the pit, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?!"

"I’m fine..." Ye Lin replied through gritted teeth, nervously glancing back at the strange hole she had fallen into with a furrowed brow, "There’s a very odd hole!"

"Let me see!" Lin Feng took out his phone, using the faint light from the screen to look into the pit Ye Lin had fallen into. His face changed slightly as he shook his head and, without a word, pulled Ye Lin away.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Lin asked nervously, unsure of Lin Feng’s reaction.

"Nothing, let’s move on quickly... don’t linger here!" Lin Feng said flatly.

Ye Lin vaguely sensed something was wrong. When Lin Feng turned on his phone, she saw that although the pit was overgrown with weeds, it was clearly a rectangular hole about two meters long and one meter wide. In an instant, Ye Lin realized what the pit was, her face turning pale with panic.

"Lin Feng... I’m a bit scared..." Ye Lin suddenly clung tightly to Lin Feng’s arm, whispering.

"Don’t be afraid!" Lin Feng’s voice remained steady, "I’m here with you!"

"That was a burial pit used by commoners for coffins in earlier times, wasn’t it?" Ye Lin suddenly asked.

Lin Feng paused for a few seconds before sighing gently, "You needn’t worry about it; it’s nothing serious. Those pits are over a decade old now..."

Ye Lin felt a chill run down her spine, but she dared not say more, only gripping Lin Feng’s arm tightly and following his lead closely.

Ye Lin, brave and unafraid of anything, had her weaknesses, just like most women—she feared ghosts. Even though they were elusive, Ye Lin was still afraid!

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, saying, "Hold on... those people’s lights have vanished!"

"What’s happening?" Ye Lin watched Lin Feng nervously, her mind racing with worry that those people might have stumbled upon something sinister.

"I don’t know either. Let’s move closer and see..." Lin Feng frowned, speaking in a low voice.

As the people ahead suddenly disappeared, Lin Feng instinctively suspected they might be hiding, preparing to ambush him. But as he and Ye Lin stealthily moved forward, they discovered an eerie little valley had appeared ahead...

This small valley was not large, seemingly only fifty meters around, barren without a trace of grass or trees. Under the starlight, Lin Feng could vaguely see an ancient large house at the bottom of the valley, with a faint glimmer of light emanating from it!

"How can there be such a large house in this desolate wilderness?!" Ye Lin, engrossed in thoughts of other matters, froze for a moment, subconsciously alerting Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, could it be that kind of thing?"

"Don’t scare yourself with such thoughts!" Lin Feng shook his head, speaking softly, "There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world... people are far more frightening than any oddities! I guess those folks went inside; let’s move closer and see..."

However, just as Lin Feng decided to take Ye Lin closer to the ancient house, a burst of gunfire suddenly echoed from the darkness...

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Then, accompanied by waves of men’s anguished wails and moans, the cries echoed through the small valley...

"It’s over! That group of traffickers has definitely started causing trouble!" Ye Lin’s face went pale, a bit guilty, "It’s all my fault. If I had rushed over directly, I might have been able to stop them!"

Lin Feng shook his head, "Don’t blame yourself yet; something feels off! You can’t tell, but I can assure you, the ones screaming in agony were those drug traffickers!"

"What?!" Ye Lin looked utterly horrified at Lin Feng’s words, "What’s going on? They had an internal conflict?!"

"I don’t know!" Lin Feng shook his head, pointing at the large house, "There’s one thing you may be right about; this house seems strange! Let’s carefully approach and take a closer look!"

Ye Lin’s face showed a hint of hesitation, but hearing those harrowing cries, she ultimately nodded.

Thus, Lin Feng took Ye Lin and slowly moved towards the valley. When they were about sixty to seventy meters from the large house, a robust male voice suddenly echoed through the forest:

"Stop, strangers! Kongshan Temple does not welcome outsiders!"
