I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 13: The Plan Goes Smoothly

"Xiao Jing, come help me recover."

Zhang Guanghai, who was already sitting on the ground, waved to Wang Haojing.

Wang Haojing stepped forward and, unusually, raised a question about Zhang Guanghai's words.

"Brother Zhang, is it used in the bizarre world too?"

"It's alright. Stay in Qingshan Temple now. Remember to count; half an hour should be enough."

"it is good."

After saying that, Zhang Guanghai sat up straight on the ground, letting Wang Haojing stand behind him and press one hand on his shoulder.

His Boiling Blood technique was too exhausting; after throwing two punches, he had used up most of his strength.

If we cannot recover quickly, relying on Qingshan Temple to hunt monsters will be a joke.

When Wang Haojing withdrew his hand, Zhang Guanghai was already lying on his back on the ground, snoring loudly.

"How did he fall asleep?"

He Xiaoxiao moved closer to Wang Haojing and tilted her head to ask.

"When you're physically tired, you definitely need to sleep."

"...Is it your extraordinary ability?"

Ignoring Wang Haojing's answer, He Xiaoxiao asked a question.

"That's right. Although the captain and Brother Zhang usually have me use my mental energy to detect people, I can make people who are not wary of me fall into a very deep sleep very quickly."

"This kind of sleep allows them to quickly recover their energy, which is especially suitable for people like Brother Zhang who have consumed a lot of energy and need to recover quickly."

He Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

Chi Le, who was openly eavesdropping nearby, also nodded.

"Hunting evil spirits and demons, absorbing the gray mist, and gaining extraordinary abilities are just the beginning. How to use them ultimately depends on your own development."

Wang Haojing roughly calculated the time in his mind.

Seeing that it had been about half an hour, he shook Zhang Guanghai awake.

Zhang Guanghai, who had just woken up, was obviously confused and looked around to make sure he was in his surroundings.

"Hmm... damn, where am I?"

Zhang Guanghai suddenly jumped up from the ground, like a compressed spring.

After Wang Haojing's brief explanation, Zhang Guanghai, remembering his current predicament, felt the red light rising from his arms intensify, and stepped out of the Qingshan Temple [mountain gate].

Unable to break down the "mountain gate" no matter what they tried, the wolves in the forest, who had given up and returned to their pack, never expected that this thing would come back again!

However, this time Zhang Guanghai did not choose to kill the forest wolves directly, but instead broke the limbs of the three forest wolves, or simply severely injured them.

Then he stopped and lured the wolves from the forest, which were a little further away, to the entrance of Qingshan Temple.

With Wang Haojing's help, Zhang Guanghai fell asleep immediately and regained his strength.

This time, I slept for a longer period of time than before.

After waking up, Zhang Guanghai continued to repeat the same operation.

After doing this several times...

Some distance from the entrance to Qingshan Temple, a large group of forest wolves, missing limbs and broken arms, gathered, eager to bite Zhang Guanghai to death in revenge.

As for the remaining wolves in the forest with all four limbs intact, they had already scattered in all directions.

Seeing it but not being able to eat it, there's no point in wasting time here.

Besides, what kind of lunatics are these? They come up without saying a word, then throw two punches down, hitting but not killing?

Keep your distance from madmen.

Wang Haojing woke up Zhang Guanghai, who had been asleep for nearly an hour and a half.

Upon waking up, Zhang Guanghai immediately asked.

"Xiao Jing, how long have we been in this strange world?"

Wang Haojing pondered for a moment before replying.

"About 8 hours."

"It's been almost nine hours, I can't sleep anymore." With that, Zhang Guanghai glanced at the menacing wolves in the forest at the mountain gate. "There are still quite a few."

"We fall into a bizarre world and can stay there for a maximum of about nine hours. After that time, we will automatically return to the real world."

Zhang Guanghai explained to He Xiaoxiao.

"There are about ten wolves left in the forest. I've crippled most of them, so they can't run very fast and aren't a big threat."

"I'll be watching from the sidelines while you two go and kill the wolves in the forest."

"Don't look at me like that. I've told you many times that in this strange world, you can only rely on yourself."

"Be careful to maintain distance from the wolves in the forest. If you can run back to the Taoist temple, then run back. If you really can't run, I will intervene, but you only have two chances, so don't be greedy, understand?"

Wang Haojing and He Xiaoxiao nodded quickly.

Seeing that the two were almost ready, Zhang Guanghai respectfully gestured to Chi Le before leading them out of the mountain gate.

As soon as they stepped out of the temple gate, Wang Haojing and He Xiaoxiao simultaneously broke out in goosebumps.

A chilling, eerie feeling enveloped them, and the two couldn't help but shiver.

At the same time, the wolf in the forest, which was a little further away, also saw the two figures in front of the Taoist temple and began to walk towards them.

"Brother Zhang, I'm starting to regret it."

He Xiaoxiao trembled slightly as she watched the wolf in the forest getting closer and closer.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started."

Zhang Guanghai stood still with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

He Xiaoxiao swallowed and stood behind Wang Haojing.

"I'll lure most of the wolves away in a bit, leaving one for you. You'd better act fast."

"Here you go, remember to return it to me."

Wang Haojing handed over an unassuming short metal rod.

He Xiaoxiao held it in her hand; it was very light and felt strange, like holding an ordinary wooden stick.

"……good."

Wang Haojing gave Zhang Guanghai a ready gesture, then distanced himself from He Xiaoxiao.

He picked up a pebble from his feet and closed his eyes.

He Xiaoxiao felt that familiar fluctuation again.

After using his mental power to accurately aim at the wolf at the front of the pack, Wang Haojing released the pebble.

It landed precisely on the wolf's wound.

It cried out in pain.

The strange cry seemed to trigger the nerves of all the wolves in the forest.

The feet, which had been moving slowly, suddenly quickened their pace and all moved closer to Wang Haojing.

"They're here, focus!"

He Xiaoxiao had never seen anything like this before.

A dozen or so ferocious wolves with hideous faces, mutilated bodies, and bloodthirsty red eyes rapidly approached.

Some were still dragging half-broken legs with exposed bone fragments, while others had lost their jaws, their long tongues sticking out and swaying as they ran, blood mixed with saliva dripping onto the ground one drop after another.

He Xiaoxiao really had the urge to turn around and run back to Qingshan Temple.

However, she thought about what kind of situation she would face if she ran away now.

She gripped the short stick tightly in her hand.

"Let's give it our all."

The wolf pack continued to approach the two, with the majority heading towards Wang Haojing, but a small number of wolves in the forest still eyed He Xiaoxiao who was standing to the side.

"Wang Haojing, there are too many!"

As soon as He Xiaoxiao spoke, a pebble landed precisely beside the wolves in the forest who were eyeing her, successfully attracting their attention.

After Wang Haojing made continuous fine-tuning, he successfully attracted the attention of the wolf in the forest.

Soon, only a half-crippled wolf remained in front of He Xiaoxiao, baring its teeth at her.

The pain from its wounds made it lose patience and it pounced on He Xiaoxiao impatiently.

Strangely, He Xiaoxiao was clearly terrified when she was far away from the wolves in the forest, but she appeared remarkably calm when she faced them head-on.

She first took a few steps back, successfully dodging the wolf's pounce in the forest.

Then, aiming at the wolf's head, he swung the stick hard.

This unassuming metal short stick is surprisingly powerful, even against an ordinary girl like He Xiaoxiao who has never trained.

One blow from the stick could instantly freeze the wolf in the forest in place.

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and brains splattered.

The wolf in the forest died.

"Brother Zhang, Wang Haojing, I did it!"

He Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly.

"Brother Zhang, now that it's all sorted out, come help me quickly!"

The plan was progressing smoothly, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, brat, I'm coming."

Zhang Guanghai's arms turned red as he ran towards Wang Haojing, who was playing a train game with the wolves in the forest, and said to He Xiaoxiao.

"See that thing wrapped in mist on the wolf carcass? Tear it off and bring it back to the Taoist temple."

"I'll give it a try."

Everything is proceeding according to plan and in a positive direction.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Awoo~

oh~

Two wolf howls rang out almost simultaneously.

Beside Wang Haojing, who was walking the wolf, and beside He Xiaoxiao, who was planning to drag the wolf carcass, an unharmed wolf appeared out of nowhere!

"Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Zhang!"

The two exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Damn it, where did these two uninjured wolves in the woods come from!"

Zhang Guanghai said anxiously.
