Chapter 85: Entering the Strange Mountain, Strange Stories: Mountain God

It has to be said that the name "family" has become quite popular recently.

He obtained the title on his first copy and caused the Ghost Ship copy to be shut down.

He cleared the unsolvable copy in the second attempt and received the highest SSS score ever.

Although they were not as impressed by the third instance, the family still emerged victorious against a villain who had completed far more instances than he had.

However, these only prove that the family members are incredibly talented, and they cannot be the reason for the family members to lead the team.

Not to mention Su Lingling and Lin Baoyu, the veteran ghost hunter and fisherman Jiang Zai should be the best candidate. Whether in terms of strength or experience, he crushes everyone else.

In fact, Roland was also very curious as to why the headquarters would appoint his family member as the captain. Could it be that in the eyes of the headquarters, his family member's strength was stronger than the three people present?
At this time, Jiang Zaixian, who was an A-level ghost hunter, spoke with a smile.

"My dear family friend, you have amazing talent. It is said that you have been selected by the headquarters to be the trainee of the next S-level captain."

After these words were spoken, the others were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

So that's why. No wonder.

The headquarters sent a family member to be the team leader as a way of training their mentality, so they specially chose the experienced Jiang to lead the team.

Sending both newcomers and veterans out together is indeed a tactic that the headquarters likes to use.

"That's really enviable. I remember I was so scared during my third dungeon that I almost wet the bed." Lin Baoyu couldn't help but smile.

"Geniuses are always different from ordinary people. As long as nothing unexpected happens to you, my friend, I feel that you are the next S-level captain. You can come to me for help with anything you need." Su Lingling also showed a very friendly attitude towards Bai Wan.

They are not stupid. After Jiang Zai's reminder, they certainly know what attitude to have towards a seed cultivator.

They must get close to him while he is still young, so that when Bai Wan becomes powerful in the future, maybe they can even curry favor with him.

"Don't feel too much pressure, young man. It's not easy to be a captain for the first time. You can ask me if you have any questions." Uncle Jiang also nodded to Bai Wan. The headquarters must have sent him here to support his family. On the surface, his family is the captain, but in reality he still has to rely on himself to control the overall situation.

Bai Wan was stunned to see how friendly everyone was. He was also surprised that the headquarters actually chose him as the captain.

I guess this is another work of Doctor Strange.

Seeing everyone so friendly, Roland couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "First of all, thank you all for coming to support Jingnan. However, due to the emergency situation, I don't have time to entertain you, so I'll make it short..."

Bai Wan and the other three waited quietly for Roland to speak. They had already anticipated the situation at this moment.

A senior A-level captain, a captain who will soon be promoted to A-level, the strongest newcomer, and a talented scientist. Such a lineup is very luxurious. Together, even Captain S can compete with them.

With such a lineup, they definitely don’t come here to play mahjong.

As expected, Roland said solemnly, "To be honest, people have been missing in Montenegro since three months ago. The highest signpost in Montenegro is number 40, but we have received reports more than once from tourists who said they got lost at number 54. This is impossible... Where is the number 54? Our people went to check it out as soon as possible...

"But none of our ghost hunters who went to Black Mountain have returned. A month ago, our captain also went to check, but there has been no news until now. I, a newcomer who has only joined not long ago, have become the acting captain because the others are no longer here."

Roland's voice sounded very lost and helpless.

"Didn't you report to the headquarters?" Su Lingling couldn't help but ask.

Roland nodded and said something quite shocking.

"I have reported... Two days ago, the headquarters sent us an A-level team, but... they never came out after entering Black Mountain."

Everyone's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

Has an A-level team been destroyed?
No wonder the headquarters attaches so much importance to it.

Roland went on to say, "There have always been rumors about Black Mountain because there is a dilapidated temple on the mountain. Many people say that a mountain god lives on the mountain, but nothing happened over the years until three months ago, when the situation became irreversible. We tried to close the mountain, but it was useless... The next day, all the staff disappeared."

"Now there is no way up the mountain. It is blocked by a huge mountain. The mountain seems to have consciousness and is constantly expanding."

"Mountain God?"

Hearing this word, Jiang Zai and others couldn't help but frown, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.

Generally, based on the intensity of the weirdness and the scope of harm, the weirdness is divided from low to high into level D, level C, level B, level A, and the highest level S.

And no one knew when it began, but humans postulated a concept, super S... In fact, there has not yet been a super S level in this world, but people have seen it in some powerful copies. Those unsolvable levels of weirdness are like gods, looking down on all living beings from above.

Therefore, ghost hunters are generally disgusted by the word "God", which makes them think of the most terrifying existence they have ever encountered in the dungeon.

Of course, the so-called mountain god is just a name given to him by the people in private.

When Bai Wan heard about the expanding mountains, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It turned out that I brought the right fairy tale book.

Take off your armor, take off all your armor!!

"Since it's so urgent, let's set off now." Jiang Zai looked at the sky. It was the best time to act during the day. It would only be more dangerous at night.

Su Lingling nodded, looked at Bai Wan and said, "Family, can you come over for a moment? The doctor has something for me to pass on to you."

Bai Wan nodded and followed Su Lingling.

Su Lingling and Bai Wan walked to a corner and handed a letter to Bai Wan at the same time.

Bai Wan opened the letter and read:

[Student Bai Wan, I still have experiments to do, so I don't have time to meet you, so I asked Lingling to give the letter to you. To put it simply, the supernatural incident in Heishan is a bit troublesome, and I am a little worried about relying on Jiang with them, but the four captains all have other things to do, so I would like to ask you for a favor.

Of course, the reward is two of the Five Ghosts materials you found, and your special awakening crystal. Currently, the materials are insufficient to make another one, but I will treat it as an IOU for you, and I will also work hard to improve the awakening crystal. Now I have some ideas, and I will try to let you control your own abilities. Please, Bai Wan, I believe in your strength - Fang Hanxin. 】

Bai Wan's eyes lit up after seeing this.

Improved crystal?
This is something to look forward to.

Currently, his awakening skill is uncontrollable. It would be great if it could avoid harming himself and his teammates.

It seems that Doctor Strange also knows that he is just a contract worker, so he simply talks about the benefits instead of saying anything empty and pretentious. Bai Wan feels very comfortable about this.

"Everyone, although we don't have much stuff in Jingnan, we still have some props that you can choose from." Roland said to everyone.

Everyone nodded and started to choose items.

In addition to the two ingredients among the Five Ghosts that had already been given to Bai Wan privately, he saw another thing that he needed.

A switch that changes the weather to thunderstorms.

With this thing and the help of bad luck, he can launch a group attack and the god of thunder will come!

Roland was a little surprised to see Bai Wan choose this item, and said casually: "I don't know what happened to the weather switch recently. It used to be something that could be bought at the Blue Skull Store, but now it has become something that can only be bought at the Bloody Skull Store. The supply has become very small, and some of them are even recycled by the system at a high price."

Bai Wan's face turned dark when he heard this.

Good system, you are targeting yourself again.

Apart from his own Thunder Escape Qilin, who else needs this thing?
This is completely directed at myself!

Fortunately, there is one in the Beijing South Branch, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

"And these bags are monster-catching bags, one for each person. After you imprison a monster and put it into the bag, the monster's abilities will be completely blocked. But please note that only monsters with no resistance can be put into the bag. This thing can only be used in hunting mode and cannot be brought into the game." Roland handed another bag to each person. This is a basic prop for monster hunters. Because her family is new, she deliberately emphasized how to use it.

Bai Wan took the monster-catching bag in his hand with some curiosity. It looked no different from an ordinary bag.

Then, he went to the toilet again, entered the Mario sewer, and bought an item that could preserve the time in the sewer. Unfortunately, he didn't draw a large sun mushroom this time, only a medium-sized sun mushroom, but it's better to have it than nothing.

Bai Wan exited the sewer and took a car with everyone to Heishan, a very famous mountain in southern Beijing.

From a distance, the scenery of Montenegro is quite good and the peaks look very spectacular.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but when everyone looked at the towering temple at the top of the mountain, they felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

There seemed to be some kind of gaze in the temple watching them...

But the biggest problem at the moment is that the road ahead has been blocked by the mountain.
