Chapter Nine: The First Kill of the Demon Clan
Fortunately, this side of the cliff is not very smooth; the uneven surface of the mountain wall provides convenience for Wang Lan's ascent. Using both hands and feet, he climbs the cliff rapidly with physical abilities far exceeding those of an ordinary person
The key to unarmed combat against weapons lies in swift, precise, and fierce movements, catching the opponent off guard to seize the weapon. Wang Lan instantly changed tactics, delivering a knife-hand strike to the wrist of the demon holding the knife, the force penetrating through the palm, causing the weapon in the opponent's hand to be released in an instant
There are at least 8,000 places in the world called Creek Town, if not 10,000. Who knows which one this is? Since it is abroad, it is normal that there is no signal. Moreover, I suspect that this valley has an interference magnetic field, which is why the satellite receiver in the phone is being disrupted. Have you found the town?
Moreover, it is currently daytime, and the angle of the sun aligns with the clock time; logically, the deviation in distance should not be too significant.
Just halfway up, a gust of cool wind suddenly brought a denser fog rising above her head. Wang Lan felt her way along the stones, slowly climbing up the cliff.
"Klick Town? Is this abroad?" Mr. Qin was also taken aback, well, we didn't make it to the Tianmu Lake resort, and instead, we instantly teleported out of the country?
Had it not been for the training to overcome the fear of death experienced yesterday, this strike would have been enough to take Wang Lan's life. Therefore, Wang Lan is fortunate; after overcoming fear, the struggle between life and death is almost indistinguishable from training
The bus was found, and the children inside continued to sob, but only a few injured adults remained in the vehicle along with Mr. Qin, the only one capable of driving the bus
What is the English name? Is it possible that we have traveled through time? Wang Lan was shocked, did the bus accidentally enter a wormhole
Why is there a bottle of mineral water?
Alright
Wang Lan could not withstand Song Jia's pleading gaze, a tactic that could instantly defeat everyone in the family. How could she refuse such a cute little cousin
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Lan stepped forward once again
Little brother, have you found it
The scorching sun burned the earth, and Song Jia's face had turned a rosy red. Beads of sweat continuously dripped from her cheeks, and she kept extending her tongue to lick the corners of her mouth
We are tired from walking, let's rest for a while by the edge of the forest. I went in to relieve myself, and when I came out, I couldn't find them. Little brother, have you seen them?
In this world where alternate dimensions frequently open, time-space tunnels are certainly not a rare phenomenon. At least every year, there are individuals who inadvertently enter time-space tunnels, mysteriously appearing hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.
In this ... ...
Ah— in an instant, Song Jia was so frightened that her face lost all color, tightly gripping Wang Lan's arm, "A ghost, a ghost!"
"Could it be that something has happened to them..." As this thought just arose, a sudden sense of crisis surged from behind. Wang Lan had no time to think and instinctively reacted, turning her body to the side and kicking backward with one leg.
Wang Lan held Song Jia's hand and waved as they walked towards that woman. The woman turned around and, upon seeing Wang Lan, also waved back at her
Boom
It is absolutely unwise to enter an adventure in such heavy fog. Not to mention the dangers, who knows how long it would take to find a way out if one gets lost in it
Ah
With a swift motion of the fingertips, knuckles, and fist, the three segments of the inch power punch were unleashed in an instant, causing the red dress on the demon to shatter into fragments, transforming into a flurry of butterflies
Really? I never expected that you are still a Star Warrior, that's wonderful...
If it were a case of accidentally entering a time tunnel, then it would be normal for everyone's mobile phones to have no signal. However, Mr. Qin's military phone also has no signal, and it is equipped with global satellite positioning communication, which is difficult to explain.
The early bird catches the worm! With a thought, Wang Lan's figure instantly surged forward. Although Wang Lan had only awakened as a Star Warrior yesterday, the system had provided initial funding, allowing her foundational skills to be on par with those of her peers who were also Star Warriors.
Just now, Li Xiuxiu's mother suddenly drew a fruit knife and launched an attack on Wang Lan. The speed was astonishing, far exceeding that of an ordinary person. If it were not for Wang Lan's agility skill reaching Bronze 1, she might have been hit directly
What should I do if I accidentally lose you?
Well, it is just that the strength is too weak
Ah—" Song Jia suddenly jumped up, as it turned out that a bloody ear was right by her feet. The ear was very fresh, and the bloodstains on it were also very fresh
Moreover, Wang Lan possesses an advantage that her peers do not have, which is the skill of inch power boxing
After entrusting Song Jia to the care of these parents, Wang Lan rushed towards the cliff and climbed up with her bare hands
Looking up at the sky from the valley, the sunlight is bright. However, after climbing up the cliff, it is still a ghostly weather where one cannot see their own hand. The climate in this place is too strange; Wang Lan had previously noticed that the hail falling from the sky did not resemble the common hail, but rather looked like dry ice
Card
"It is not a ghost, it is a demon!" Breaking free from Song Jia's grasp, I stared warily at the demon before me. The most critical issue at hand was that Wang Lan was still unarmed.
That is fine, I appreciate your help, young brother
I forgot to bring the bag out with me
If this sign is true, does it mean that the town indicated by the sign is a cliff? Is it a prank or has something changed? ... Or could it be ... ? ... that the sign was destroyed because the town has already been relocated?
Setting off with Wang Lan along the route explored by the parents, I initially thought this valley would not be large. However, after walking for half an hour, I found myself surrounded by continuous dense forests, and before me lay a gravel beach that seemed endless.
Teacher Qiu led the team
"Why did you run into the forest? In unfamiliar places, one should not enter the woods," Wang Lan asked the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression.
Triple Strength
After much hesitation at the edge of the cliff, Wang Lan ultimately decided to go down again to meet with Mr. Qin and the others, discussing with everyone to make a decision
To ordinary people, a Star Warrior is akin to a superhero, possessing physical qualities and abilities that are beyond their imagination. Having a Star Warrior nearby can provide them with a sense of security
"Brother..." Song Jia exclaimed in surprise, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes
"You are a Star Warrior, aren't you, young man?" the composed middle-aged man asked with a slight smile
Wang Lan has also put considerable effort into training with bare hands against weapons
There was none, but a wooden plaque was found. Wang Lan handed the plaque to Mr. Qin for him to see
Cunjingquan is a common martial art, and most star warriors disdain learning it. In their view, having star martial arts is sufficient, and at most, they might learn basic fighting techniques or basic knife skills.
A punch struck the demon's chest, producing a muffled sound
Are you thirsty
Jiajia, you stay in the car and wait for me. I will climb up the original path to see if I can flag down a vehicle
I have no other options. Why not look for a water source? It's strange; logically speaking, if the parents have traveled this far, they might be unwilling to walk any further and would prefer Mr. Qin to drive the bus over.
inch power
Wang Lan swiftly seized a fruit knife, and in the moment before the demon could recover from Wang Lan's strike, the knife plunged into her throat, slicing horizontally and leaving a gruesome gash in the demon's neck
Wang Lan found the uphill path that the bus had taken, but due to the thick fog obscuring her vision, she was unable to discern the direction, and nearly fell off the cliff again by mistake
However, star martial arts require the consumption of star power, while techniques like the Inch Force Fist, though ordinary, can produce the effects of star martial arts and serve as a trump card for star martial artists, as this technique does not require the consumption of star power
"What are you doing?" Song Jia exclaimed in shock. But in the next moment, a deep fear appeared on Song Jia's face
"Brother... the cliff is so high..." Song Jia was actually afraid of Wang Lan leaving. In a dangerous situation, children need adults around to provide a sense of security
Song Jia's gaze was indeed... too piercing. Following her finger, Wang Lan indeed saw a woman in red. This woman should be one of the parents, Wang Lan had an impression of her
The entire valley is shrouded in thick fog, and I am concerned that they might take the risk of entering it. If they go in and cannot come out, it would be dangerous. Let me go look for them.
Shaking his head, "I came over from the bus, and I didn't see anyone. How long have you been separated from them?"
"Brother... can you take me with you?" Song Jialian quickly grabbed Wang Lan's clothes
Well
It was clearly I who brought you out, and I was still worried about losing you. I promise to hold your hand all the way.
Wang Lan looked at the car that had flipped off the cliff, which was not very high, about 100 meters.
It's nothing, my brother is confident with this height. Mr. Qin, could you please take care of Jia Jia for me
It will only take about ten minutes
With a crisp sound, Wang Lan stepped on a broken wooden sign. Wang Lan picked up the sign, on which an English place name was written in red paint; she could only recognize the word "town".
It might have been accidentally dropped by a parent
Wang Lan found the location of the wooden sign, beneath which is an arrow indicator. This suggests that there should be a small town nearby, and finding the town may allow for contact with the outside world
Wang Lan threw a punch towards the opponent's head, while the opponent's fruit knife fiercely stabbed towards Wang Lan's throat
Wang Lan moved forward in the direction indicated by the sign, almost feeling his way along the land's edge to prevent losing his direction. Suddenly, Wang Lan stopped in his tracks, as what lay before him was the very cliff he had just climbed up.
No, the visibility is still too low. I am afraid that the fog will return first, and I plan to discuss it with everyone. Where are they?
Normal fog cannot be as light and agile as the one before me; in foggy weather, dense fog is perceived as stationary. However, the dense fog in front of me is rolling violently, and even a wave of my hand can disperse it.
At this moment, the flying fruit knife finally fell from the sky
"Brother, there is a bottle of mineral water." Song Jia happily rushed over to pick up the mineral water, "It hasn't been opened yet, and the date is fresh, so it can be consumed"
They said they would go ahead to take a look, hoping to find a way out of the valley in case they encountered someone. However, it has been a long time since they left... At this point, Mr. Qin showed some concern on his face
Brother, look, that seems to be Li Xiuxiu's mother
Does Mr. Qin know this small town
Although the brakes are broken, it is still possible to drive on the open beach
The speed of descending the cliff is much faster than climbing up. As Wang Lan reached the bottom of the cliff, he looked up at the top; thick fog was rolling at the edge of the cliff, yet the sky above was brilliantly sunny. It is truly a bizarre climate
The skin on the face of the woman before me suddenly turned a vibrant green, and her eyes protruded from their sockets like those of a lobster.
On such a hot day, parents would not be willing to throw away a bottle of unopened mineral water. Looking around, there is still no sign of anyone.
The weather in the valley is truly peculiar; just a moment ago it was drizzling with hail, but before long it transformed into bright sunshine, and the temperature has risen as well
Hail falling on the glass produces a thick mist, but due to the rain, the mist instantly disappears. At this moment, the thick mist before Wang Lan reminds her of dry ice
