Atlas of Heaven and Man

Gu Mingde issued the order, and everyone moved into action. They didn't rush out in a swarm, but rather a group would move first, and after reaching a certain distance, the next group would follow, each providing cover for the other.

After the people in front advanced a certain distance, they would pause slightly to observe, and then continue, placing a conspicuous marker at each pause, especially at the turning points, to facilitate their later withdrawal and to guide those following behind.

Chen Chuan's group was the last to move, but the speed of those ahead was very fast. By the time he moved, the first group had already infiltrated the village.

They nodded to each other, slowly moved away, and each sought a suitable position. When the second group also arrived, there were nearly twenty people. They each directly grabbed their bows and crossbows and began shooting at these people.

Based on the situation of the previously captured Flying Head Cult strongholds, these people, immersed in the long-term influence of the Flying Heads, could no longer be saved, and would frantically attack everyone they saw except for the Flying Head Cult members, so this time they had to be ruthless.

The people in the back were shot down by the arrows one by one. The people in the front finally realized that something was wrong and turned around, looking back with red eyes, and then roaring as they charged forward.

But it was useless. As more and more contractors entered, they dispersed to both sides, advancing in an arc, and at this time they no longer cared about the noise, and began to take out their pistols and shoot.

There were also people in the rear holding rifles and preparing throwing nets, which were used to defend against the Flying Heads that might appear at any time. For a time, gunshots rang out in the village.

However, until all the believers in sight were shot down, no Flying Head appeared. These contractors immediately stepped forward to finish them off. Then, two people came to the entrance of the old temple and peered inside, but just as they did so, the two people suddenly paused and then fell to the ground.

The teammates behind were shocked. Just as they were about to step forward, they were pulled back by the people behind, who said urgently: "Don't go up!"

Only a moment later, the people behind were horrified to find that the two teammates had climbed up again, but their eyes had become as red as those of the villagers, and they pulled out the daggers from their waists and stabbed at them.

Fortunately, their attacks had no rhyme or reason, and they were quickly subdued by the people behind, but even so, they were still struggling there, constantly making mad shouts and cries.

Looking at their appearance, everyone's expression changed slightly. Even if they knew the problem wasn't too big, they didn't want to become like this.

A captain said: "Everyone, step back. Let's wait for Expert Chen to come and handle it." Everyone agreed and retreated a large circle.

Chen Chuan and Gu Mingde's group had already entered the village at this time. Seeing that the team members had easily broken in, and even the smoke bombs prepared in advance were not used, Gu Mingde was also very surprised and said: "There isn't even a gatekeeper left behind?"

Chen Chuan thought that this was normal. There was no normal logic to such a tale that easily made people lose their minds. Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty. Those who dared not to kowtow during the sacrifice were probably taken to feed the Flying Heads long ago.

He observed for a moment. There were about seventy or eighty people lying down on the scene, almost all of them were strong young men. Women, children, and old people were nowhere to be seen. This was very abnormal for a village. Recalling the Flying Heads that came out just now, he also shook his head.

At this time, a contractor came over in a hurry and told Gu Mingde about the situation in front.

Gu Mingde looked very serious and turned to look at Chen Chuan, "Expert Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Chuan said: "Leave the matter down there to me. It's just that there should be more Flying Heads inside. If they fly out, I may not be able to stop them all. Captain Gu, you have to be careful."

Gu Mingde said: "As long as we can deal with it with the weapons in our hands, we can deal with it."

Chen Chuan agreed with this. As long as one could maintain their sanity in the face of ordinary Flying Heads, it would not be difficult to deal with them. "By the way, please lend me a few more guns, Captain Gu."

Gu Mingde did not hesitate to hand over his unused pistol to him, and then reached out his hand back. His assistant Pan Zhong and a contractor team member behind him came up and handed over their pistols to him, and then turned them over, muzzle down, and handed them to Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan took them and inserted them all into the waist straps of his jacket. Just as he was about to go inside, Gu Mingde stopped him again and took out a capsule plate from his arms and handed it to him: "Expert Chen, take this with you too."

Chen Chuan took a look. This was a plate of "Heart-Calming Pills." This was a drug formulated based on the advice of the consultants of the Political Affairs Office. Generally, holding it under the tongue can effectively stabilize the mind, and swallowing it at a critical moment can effectively keep the mind clear.

It cannot be said that this thing is useless. It is actually effective against one or two Flying Heads. This has been proven before, but the effect may be limited when dealing with a group of Flying Heads and the source of the Flying Heads. However, he still took it and said: "Thank you."

Gu Mingde said solemnly: "Expert Chen, be careful. If something is wrong, please withdraw and come back to think of a solution."

Chen Chuan nodded. He said, "Dealing with the flying head monster might take more than a day. I might come out to collect offerings before each ritual. Please be sure to prepare them."

Gu Mingde had already heard him explain some of the necessary conditions and said solemnly, "Expert Chen, we will definitely prepare everything."

Chen Chuan drew the Snow Monarch Blade from its scabbard and walked towards the entrance of the old temple. As soon as he got close, a faint sign of translucence appeared on 'Second Me,' but it wasn't as strong as he had imagined, not much different from when he was at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, he took out the piece of yellow jade that Cheng Zitong had given him and saw that some areas on the edge had already turned slightly black. It seemed that this thing did indeed block some of the damage.

He put it away again and walked inside.

Gu Mingde and the others watched his figure gradually disappear into the shadows, their expressions serious. The root of the flying head monster cannot be defeated by sheer numbers. They can only rely on the expert to solve it.

After Chen Chuan walked inside, he saw that it was a small path carved out of the mountain wall. The ground was paved with cracked stone slabs, and lamp stands were nailed to the walls on both sides.

After walking seven or eight meters, he saw about six people standing in two rows, shoulder to shoulder, prostrating there and kowtowing incessantly, muttering something. They seemed completely unaware of what was happening outside.

But as soon as Chen Chuan came in, it seemed to trigger something. They all jumped up from the spot, letting out angry roars and indistinct curses.

Chen Chuan looked at these people rushing towards him, simply held his saber horizontally in front of him, blocking the entire passage, and then pushed these people forward.

These people scrambled to go forward, but they couldn't form a combined force at all. The people in the front had short arms and legs and couldn't reach Chen Chuan at all, so they could only be pushed back staggeringly by him alone.

After walking about three or four meters, they entered the hall of the old temple. At this time, Chen Chuan exerted a slight force, and a burst of energy exploded out, and these people immediately flew out in a fan shape, falling to the ground one by one and unable to get up. They seemed intact on the surface, but their internal organs and bones were all damaged, and they had completely lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, Chen Chuan looked up and saw that it was a spacious domed building, which should have been made by using a natural cave and then artificially transforming it. However, now there were holes everywhere, and there were many smelly puddles of stagnant water on the ground.

The latest and most complete novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba, the first release!

At the top, there were several large holes, and sunlight shone in from there. Those flying head monsters should have flown out from there.

In the very front, where the statue of a god should have been placed, a large gauze tent was hanging down from above, with a blurry shadow inside. The flying heads were all here just now, and occasionally one or two would fly around in the hall.

On the altar in front, there were piles of pigs, sheep, and suspected human limbs. Many flying heads were crowding together and gnawing, pushing each other. You could see bloody, almost severed internal organs hanging down from the edges.

Seeing this scene, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he immediately took out the martial halberd gun and began shooting at the flying heads. The flying heads were immediately startled and flew around in a panic.

He emptied the magazine in one breath, then took out the pistols that Gu Mingde and the others had given him, and fired continuously, emptying the bullets from all four guns. Six flying heads had already fallen to the ground one after another.

At this time, it seemed that the gunshots had stopped, and the remaining flying heads rushed towards him all at once.

Chen Chuan took a deep breath, threw away the pistol, and waited until the flying heads were almost in front of him, seemingly about to obscure his figure, when a bright flash of saber light suddenly lit up, followed by a series of sounds of the saber slashing through withered skin and bones!

When the light converged, he still maintained the posture of wielding the saber, and the flying heads that had surrounded him had already fallen to the ground. One of them seemed to be startled and turned back, but before it could get far, it suddenly deviated and fell to the ground, instantly crashing into two halves, leaving only a little bit of bone and skin at the top that was still connected.

Chen Chuan saw that the translucence on 'Second Me' seemed to have deepened a little at this moment, but it wasn't too serious. It should be the yellow jade that was working.

However, it seemed that two flying heads had run out just now, but they were just ordinary flying heads, and there weren't many of them. Gu Mingde and the others should be able to deal with them.

He glanced at the gauze tent in front, first reloaded the magazine of the martial halberd gun, and then went up with the saber.

Outside, the entrusted personnel had been prepared. When they heard strange screams coming from inside, they knew that flying head monsters might have rushed out.

Dozens of guns and bows and arrows were aimed at the entrance and exit of the old temple. After a while, they saw two black spots flying out from inside. Without any instructions, the sounds of guns firing resounded, including many shotguns. This made it impossible for the two flying heads that rushed out to dodge at all. They were smashed to pieces almost as soon as they reached the outside, and even the nearby walls had holes in them. When they fell to the ground, you couldn't tell what they were anymore.

Gu Mingde glanced at it. The flying heads running out from inside was good news, indicating that Chen Chuan was making good progress.

Inside the old temple, Chen Chuan had already slowly walked to the tent curtain. At this moment, he heard a soft chewing sound, so he slowly stretched out his saber and lifted the curtain. The flying head inside immediately stopped chewing and looked back.

After seeing it clearly, his gaze slightly condensed.

The flying heads he had seen before were all hideous, and you could tell at a glance that they were monsters, but this flying head was actually a charming woman, with painted eyebrows, a touch of red on her lips, and eyes rippling like water. Her waterfall-like black hair was scattered on the altar. When she saw him arrive, autumn-like eyes glared at him.
