Chapter 82: To the Rescue
"Fifty contribution points? That's daylight robbery."
The disciple said with anger and quickly walked away.
Other disciples also followed him and shook their heads.
They remembered Lin Fan was from the Physique Peak.
Which could be expected.
After all, they didn't have enough disciples to take on missions.
Thus, getting fewer resources from Qing Feng sect.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, also shook his head.
It will cost more later when you come begging for my pills, he thought to himself silently.
...
Soon it was time for them to make a move.
All in all, around fifty disciples participated in the mission.
They formed a single file and went down the long stairs leading to the entrance.
The journey to the mountain was somewhat uneventful.
They had to camp at a village for the night.
It looked like any other village he'd been to.
However, Lin Fan noticed the villagers weren't receptive to them, unlike other villagers.
They were cold and went about their own business.
Not even the village head came out and tried to find out what they were doing there.
They must be in Dark Lotus sect territory by now.
The Dark Lotus sect, as a banned sect, can't be supported openly.
These villagers must have something to hide, hence the difference in their attitude.
When Lin Fan looked around him.
All the new disciples were chatting happily among themselves.
Only the senior disciples noticed and stayed on alert.
Zhao Qing Ying was happily having his own version of hotpot with his wine.
"Ho Ming, when we get to the cave, better to stay far away from these junior disciples," Lin Fan said.
"Sure, I will," Ho Ming replied and passed Lin Fan a dry bun.
Lin Fan felt it was best to stay far away from them.
They were most likely trouble.
The night went by quickly and they continued their journey the next day.
At the foot of the mountain, the scouts sent earlier to scout the surroundings were waiting for them.
The scouts then led them to where the cave was.
When they got near to the cave, they stopped and hid themselves a hundred meters away.
Lin Fan could see two men in crimson red robes guarding outside a huge cave entrance.
It was at least fifty meters high and wide.
The inside of the cave must be deep and complicated.
A perfect location to be on the defense.
Zhao Qing Ying's voice then came into every disciple's mind.
"On my command, all the junior disciples shall be the first wave to go in.
"Your seniors will be behind you, ready to help if there are any emergencies."
Lin Fan drew out his hammers and got ready.
Ho Ming also drew out his swords.
This is it.
Soon after, two senior martial brothers appeared out of nowhere and decapitated the two guards.
Zhao Qing Ying then gave the signal.
Around twenty junior disciples streamed out from where they were hiding.
Charged into the cave.
Lin Fan waited for them to get ahead.
He and Ho Ming followed with a distance behind them.
To be safe, Lin Fan turned back to check.
The senior disciples weren't too far away.
Zhao Qing Ying was also wary of this being a trap.
Letting the new disciples go first and keeping the senior disciples behind.
When they entered the cave, the first chamber was huge.
There was an altar in the middle.
It had a wooden tablet carved with a lotus on it.
The incense urn in front of the tablet still had some long incense still burning.
Whoever was here didn't leave too long ago.
"Look, on the ground," the new disciples stopped suddenly.
There were many women lying on the ground.
Every one of them had a big stomach.
It seemed like they were pregnant.
"Are you all right?"
"Here, have some water."
The junior disciples started to check on the women.
Ho Ming wanted to go help but Lin Fan pulled him back.
"Don't go. There's something going on."
Inside Lin Fan's head, the system notification was going crazy.
[Ding!]
[Detected 300 souls with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate White Poison Toads with malevolent intent for 3000 vengeance points.]
It was warning him about white poisonous toads.
But they were nowhere to be seen.
Lin Fan walked a few steps back and got ready.
"Argh... help me..." the women all suddenly woke up and cried out in pain.
The disciples tending to them got a shock and tried to help them up.
But they found that these women held on to them, not letting them go.
"It's all right, you are safe now..." one of the disciples tried to comfort the woman in his arms.
"Ha... Ha... Ha..." She started to laugh hysterically instead.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing?" The disciple was perturbed by what she did.
"Ha... Ha... Hail the Dark Lord!"
She shouted out her last words and her stomach started to thump with life.
As if something inside was trying to get out.
Her back arched up and down, due to the enormous force coming from her belly.
Plop.
Plop. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Splatter.
Her stomach broke open and white toads jumped and crawled out of it.
The disciple, shocked, tried to get away, but the hands of the woman wouldn't let go.
The white toads then sprayed the disciple with a stream of sticky liquid.
"Argh! My skin!"
It was poisonous and burned the skin.
The same thing was happening to the other disciples.
Soon, screams of pain were heard in the chamber.
When the white toads sprayed their poison at Lin Fan, it did nothing to him.
His physique cultivation had made his skin hardened enough to withstand the poison.
Thud.
Lin Fan stepped on the white toad in front of him and crushed it into a pulp.
It felt disgusting with the sticky feel of the skin.
But Lin Fan didn't mind when a familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 10.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 420]
10 vengeance points for one white toad, it was like free points for him.
Lin Fan started to eagerly kill the white toads.
With his hammers, he smashed them flat, and with his foot, he stepped on them to their death.
Ho Ming with his two swords fended off the white toads brilliantly.
The other disciples, however, weren't doing as well.
They were too near to each other, and they injured each other when they tried to use their techniques.
When Lin Fan was done with the white toads near him, he shouted, "All of you get back! Leave the white toads to me!"
Those were his precious vengeance points.
After all, he still had a long way to go until the next level.
