Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

It was not pitch black behind the iron gate. The dim light barely illuminated the small hallway.

The air was filled with a faint musty smell mixed with the fragrance of unknown herbs, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough..."

Baili Pang'er covered his nose with a look of disgust.

"What's that smell? It's similar to Lao Chen's stinky socks."

Wu Hen sniffed it thoughtfully and said, "No, no, this is the scent of a magical medicine made from a mixture of thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. You mortals just don't know how to appreciate it."

As he spoke, he pretended to take a deep breath and then started coughing exaggeratedly.

"Cough cough cough... I'm choking! Who made this? It must be burnt!"

Lin Qiye didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Hen's antics and walked straight in.

Behind the entrance hall is a slightly spacious office with some yellowed maps and documents hanging on the wall.

The table was piled with thick documents, and there were some strange instruments placed in the corner. The whole room was filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere.

At the same time, in the Anta County Forest Protection Bureau, Li Yangde was fiddling with the radiator with sweat on his forehead.

He kept muttering, "What's going on? Why is this thing on strike again?"

Chen Haner, wrapped in a thick down jacket, shivered while hugging a hot water bottle. "Old Li, don't fix it. This radiator is older than my grandma. It should have retired long ago."

She rubbed her red, frozen hands.

"How about we change our base? This damn place is so cold and remote, there's not even a ghost in sight."

Li Yangde stopped what he was doing and sighed helplessly: "Han'er, our mission is to protect this forest area. How can we just move to another place?"

"Besides, the equipment elsewhere isn't necessarily better than here."

Chen Haner looked aggrieved: "But...but I'm almost frozen into a popsicle!"

Li Yangde shrugged helplessly and continued to fiddle with the radiator.

After all the trouble, the radiator still didn't work.

He sat dejectedly on the ground, feeling that the whole world had turned cold.

"Forget it, it can't be fixed." Li Yangde said dejectedly.

Chen Han'er also became depressed. She huddled in a chair holding a hot water bottle, not saying a word.

Li Yangde walked to the wall and stared at the huge forest map with a frown.

The map is marked with various symbols and lines, representing different terrains and areas within the forest.

He tried to find some clues about the mysterious things from these complex lines, but found nothing.

Chen Haner glanced at the map and said quietly, "Don't look at it, Lao Li."

"With our level, even if we find clues, we won't be able to understand them. It's better to save our energy and think about how to survive this winter."

Li Yangde sighed and was about to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door...

The knock on the door sounded again. Chen Haner opened the door impatiently and saw four figures standing outside.

It was Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and two other tourists.

Lin Qiye got straight to the point: "We need a detailed map of the forest area."

Wu Hen winked and added, "It would be best if it were a treasure map-level one, with the locations of thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum marked on it!"

Li Yangde and Chen Haner looked at each other, what was going on?

Li Yangde thought this was ridiculous: "Why do you want a map? This forest area is not open to the public."

Wu Hen pretended to be mysterious and approached Li Yangde, whispering:

"Brother, don't be so rigid! We heard there's treasure in this forest, and we want to go in and look for it!"

Chen Haner rolled her eyes and pointed at a blackboard hanging on the wall: "Isn't that a map? Look for yourself."

Wu Hen took a closer look and shook his head in disappointment: "This... this is too abstract!"

"It looks like elementary school graffiti, without even a toilet sign."

He turned around and winked at Lin Qiye.

"Brother Qiye, look at this painting, is it your kindergarten work?"

Lin Qiye held his forehead helplessly: "This is not a map of the primeval forest."

He turned to Li Yangde,

"We want to go into the woods and film a documentary about wildlife, specifically... bears."

When Chen Haner heard this, she hesitated.

There are indeed quite a few bears in this forest, and they have been active recently. It would be a good thing if we could really capture some precious pictures.

She looked at Li Yangde with a questioning look in her eyes.

Li Yangde still disagreed.

The situation in this forest area is complicated, and the people from the Forestry Bureau dare not go deep into it easily, let alone a few tourists.

He was about to refuse when Wu Hen suddenly spoke up: "Don't worry, brother, we are all professionals! We are well-equipped and have excellent skills. We guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"

He patted his chest and said confidently, "We also brought a drone, so we can take aerial photos. We can definitely capture the feeling of a blockbuster movie!"

Chen Haner was moved. She had always wanted to promote this mysterious forest area.

If a good documentary can be made, it may attract more tourists and boost local economic development.

She looked at Li Yangde again, her eyes full of anticipation.

Li Yangde was still hesitating when Wu Hen dropped another bombshell: "Moreover, we will also pay a hefty... venue usage fee!"

He winked at Li Yangde.

Li Yangde was silent.

Seeing this, Chen Haner immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Old Li, look, this..."

"All right,"

Li Yangde finally gave in.

"However, you must abide by our regulations and not arbitrarily destroy the forest environment, let alone..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Hen put his arm around his shoulders.

He said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, brother! We are all good citizens who abide by the law! We will complete the task!"

He held Li Yangde in his arms and walked towards the map. Suddenly he stopped and pointed to a circled area on the map.

He asked mysteriously, "Brother, is there any legend about this place?"

Li Yangde welcomed the four people into the office. Although the heating in the room was broken, the bubbling steam from the boiling kettle brought a bit of warmth.

He poured each of them a cup of hot water, rubbed his hands, and said, "Everyone, this forest has been a bit uneasy lately. I suggest you come back in a month."

Wu Hen blew on the hot water, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Not peaceful? Brother, you are not trying to trick us, are you? Are you trying to keep the treasure for yourself?"

Li Yangde smiled bitterly: "Really not, there have been a lot of strange beasts active in the forest recently, it's very dangerous."

When Baili Pang'er heard the word "strange beast", his eyes lit up.

He took out a stack of red bills from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Yangde's hand: "Brother, please be flexible. This little gift is not a sign of respect."

Li Yangde immediately pushed the money back and said righteously: "Rules are rules, I can't accept this money."

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye stood up and said, "In that case, let's go back and discuss it first."

Wu Hen also stood up and before leaving, he did not forget to tease: "Brother, your radiator is not good. I will send you a new one later. It's imported from Germany and it's very cool!"

The four of them walked to the door. Cao Yuanhai was about to open it when he suddenly froze and stared outside the door with a strange expression.

The others followed his gaze and saw an old man in plain clothes and a young girl standing at the door.

Both of them were carrying bulging cloth bags, as if they had just come out of the mountains.

The old man had a kind face and was leaning on a cane.

The young girl looked at everyone in the room with curiosity, her eyes clear and bright.

Cao Yuanhai swallowed his saliva and murmured, "This...this old man and the young lady...look a little familiar..."
