Chapter 1348 Kill
"Who, who's playing tricks?" Ma Qiuyang shouted angrily from inside the tunnel, hanging on a vine.

Shh, don't speak!

"Yes, turn off the lights quickly, don't attract that thing out."

Lin Hao pulled Si Teng into a crack in the wall, pressing them tightly together as they observed the location where the red umbrella would appear.

"Miss Sito, I've long admired your name. I've heard that you were involved in the 1910 anomaly, where you were incredibly famous and never lost a battle!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable and admirable. I've finally managed to invite Miss Sito here today, and I'm really eager to experience the legendary ~, Fujiwara Killer!"

The strange, alternating male and female tone of the voice was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"Miss Sito!"

"Why isn't Miss Sito saying anything!"

"With Miss Shito's reputation and abilities, she wouldn't be afraid of someone as insignificant as Red Umbrella!"

"Hiding like this, like a turtle hiding its head in the sand, isn't that undignified!"

Unaware that Sito currently only possessed half of her abilities, Akasan knew she was no match for her, so she constantly provoked Sito, cautiously luring her out in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

"How's it going? Can you handle it?" Lin Hao whispered in Si Teng's ear.

"No problem!" Si Teng gestured, then, noticing the location of the red umbrella, immediately rushed out.

"Be careful!" Lin Hao said with concern.

At this moment, Red Umbrella was still chattering on and on. Si Teng rushed out of the cave crevice and then mocked:

"I wouldn't dare to show off my meager skills before an expert. I just don't know how to address you, seniors. Are you my parents-in-law, or my uncle and aunt?"

As soon as Si Teng said this, a low roar came from inside the cave, the mountain walls trembled, and gravel and dust fell down.

It has to be said that Si Teng really hit Aka Umbrella where it hurts most; what she cares about most is how others perceive her gender.

Five vines extended from Si Teng's hands, instantly binding Shen Yindeng tightly. The vines tightened like snakes, seemingly trying to strangle Shen Yindeng.

The mushrooms around them seemed to know that Shen Yindeng was in danger, and they attacked Wang Yue and Si Teng like madmen.

Si Teng was busy hunting down the Crimson Umbrella and had no time to block the poisonous mushrooms; he could only dodge left and right.

Although Sito is stronger than Akamura, the current Sito is not in his complete form and only has half of his abilities, so the two fought to a standstill.

In fact, Shen Yindeng could be taken down in no time if Lin Hao made a move, but now is obviously not the best time. It would be better to wait until they each use their strongest abilities to maximize their benefits.

At this moment, Lin Hao arrived at the edge of the pit and, taking advantage of the fact that Chi San was distracted, pulled all the Suspense Masters out of the pit.

Just then, with the help of hidden weapons, Chisan fought Si Teng to a draw. At the same time, she suddenly realized that Si Teng was not as strong as she had imagined.

I thought that the reason why Si Teng's strength had decreased so much because she had given birth to a child was simply that she had used up all the traps and hidden weapons she had set up. If she continued to fight, she would likely be at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, the vines that Si Teng extended wrapped around Shen Yindeng's neck.

Fortunately, she was prepared. Shen Yindeng swung the exquisite ball around her neck like a hammer, hitting Si Teng.

This attack didn't do much damage to Si Teng; it only managed to break the vines and knock Si Teng to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Si Teng, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood—or rather, green liquid.

Shen Yindeng stood up, then said smugly:
"Miss Sito, do you want to decide to have a showdown with me? Only after trying did I discover that I was in excruciating pain all over my body, as if countless suckers were draining my blood, flesh, and marrow!"

"Miss Si Teng, aren't you very unwilling? Don't you feel that this trip to Yunxi Village was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead?"

"Shen Yindeng, when did you poison me?" Si Teng asked, clutching his chest.

"Hahahaha!" Shen Yindeng laughed triumphantly, then looked at Si Teng arrogantly and said:

"Do you think that with that idiot Yan Furui tipping me off and knowing that I set up traps in the cave, you can defeat me?"

"Naive. These traps are just for show, to lure you and those idiots from the Suspended Gate. From the moment you entered the cave, my poison spores have permeated the entire cave."

"Ding: Solidification successful! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the spore diffusion skill!"

"Ding: Solidification successful, vine control gained!"

Spore dispersal: The dispersal of sexual spores, which spread through respiration or adhesion to plants and animals, affects their health mechanisms, including allergies, immune activation, and oxidative stress.

Special note: The formation of sexual spores involves the synthesis of various substances through cell fusion and genome exchange, and they can carry gene samples such as toxins and nutrients.

Goodness, this is another amazing skill. This spore diffusion combined with gene induction ability generates even more powerful abilities.

The key point is that spores are colorless and odorless, and when suspended in the air or on objects, they are completely undetectable.

Previously, Lin Hao could only use gene induction to modulate genes by contacting others, but now he can use it remotely by passing through spores.

For example, if you want to give someone cancer, you don't need to have any contact with them; you can simply use spores to carry cancer genes into the human body.

It also has an incredible ability: the spores can trigger allergic and immune responses in the human body, making it a deadly weapon.

It can also be combined with the Infection Spread skill. The Infection Spread skill obtained in the Nine Uncle's world was limited to blood transmission, but when combined with spore diffusion, it can directly turn a single-target attack into an area-of-effect attack.

Infection and transmission: It can transmit a certain virus through blood. The range of transmission decreases with each generation. The types of viruses can be controlled.

Moreover, it's not just effective against humans; plants are also within its capabilities—it's simply incredible.

It turns out that while Si Teng and Shen Yindeng were fighting, Lin Hao was using a solidification skill on them.

Therefore, when Shen Yindeng activated her spore ability, Lin Hao immediately solidified it.

Vine Control: By altering parts of the body, vines can extend and be used to entangle, strangle, and control the body.

Special note: This skill requires wood attribute energy. If used across races, Fate Points can be used instead.

Goodness, the ability isn't strong, but the requirements are quite high. Fate Points are so precious, Lin Hao was naturally reluctant to use them. He could only use them later when he could absorb plant energy.

······
Back to topic.

Just as Shen Yindeng had said, Si Teng was preparing to use his magic to retaliate when he suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body and immediately realized that he had been poisoned.

The members of the Suspended Gate who had just been rescued were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Ding Dacheng even swore:

"What the heck? Didn't we just randomly pick a monster from a book? And didn't Shen Yindeng just randomly pick a cave?"

"How did Shen Yindeng become the Red Umbrella and even poison us? I've bought lottery tickets for so many years and never won ten yuan. How come I'm being bewitched by something like this?"

At this moment, Wang Qiankun still asked incredulously, "Miss Shen, you wouldn't really be Red Umbrella, would you!"

The sounds of Wang Qiankun and his group attracted Chi San, who stood directly on the collapsed area.

Looking at the people from the Suspended Gate below, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"They're really as stupid as pigs! I never thought that the once-renowned Suspended Gate would fall so low. They deserve to be used by me!" Upon hearing Shen Yindeng's words, the members of the Suspended Gate were all furious and picked up their weapons, ready to fight.

Unfortunately, as soon as they made a move, they all vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, clearly indicating that the Red Umbrella had once again used spores to spread poison.

To Shen Yindeng's surprise, Lin Hao was standing there perfectly fine. She then frowned and asked, "How come you're alright?"

"You dare to show off such a trivial skill?" Lin Hao was too lazy to say anything more to her.

Now that I've acquired the skills that can be solidified, there's no point in keeping the Crimson Umbrella. So I'll directly use Thunderous Body to switch to a Taoist skill:
Wounding the Five Thunder Boundless Soldiers

Driving thunder and lightning to illuminate the universe.

Obeying my orders will bring retribution.
Left zero, right fire, may the Thunder God help me.

The Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Law, so be it!

"Boom!"

Immediately afterward, the large dark clouds that had gathered in the sky outside the cave seemed to have received a command and were suddenly struck by lightning and thunder.

Then a bolt of lightning, as thick as a thumb, shot straight into the cave from the sky, striking Shen Yindeng, the Crimson Umbrella, in mid-air.

Shen Yindeng didn't even have time to react before she was instantly struck down by lightning.

"Ahhh~!" A painful howl rang out as Shen Yindeng was struck down to the ground by Lin Hao's lightning.

This is why Lin Hao didn't intend to kill her outright. Otherwise, with just a slight increase in his magical power output, Lin Hao could have easily obliterated Shen Yindeng.

However, the red umbrella is still useful; all you need to do is knock it down.

"Let's go, let's see if she's dead!" Lin Hao said, pulling Si Teng's hand and walking towards Shen Yindeng, who was almost lifeless in the distance.

As they got closer, Si Teng saw Shen Yindeng lying motionless on the ground.

"She's barely clinging to life!" Sensing Shen Yindeng's life force fading, Si Teng looked at Lin Hao with some fear and asked:

"What amazing technique! What kind of ability is this? Is it a technique from the Suspended Gate?"

Si Teng was terrified by the power of the Five Thunderbolts. She could sense the strength of the Crimson Umbrella. Although it was not as strong as her in its prime, it was still much stronger than her now. Yet, it was killed by Lin Hao with a single bolt of lightning. How could she not be afraid?
Lin Hao smiled and said, "This is a Taoist technique called the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, which can summon the power of thunder!"

"Taoist sect?" Si Teng asked curiously, "Is it the Taoist sect?"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, my ability is life energy, and saving lives is my forte!"

"But there were no better means of attack, so in the Taoist classics, we found this Taoist technique that can use life energy instead of magic power."

"Oh, I see!" Si Teng's gaze towards Lin Hao changed; the love she felt for him was almost overflowing.

It merges with life energy to obtain the life energy of plants and animals.

After the battle, healing

"By the way, hurry up and absorb the power of the Crimson Umbrella, so that you can recover some of it."

Suddenly, Lin Hao seemed to remember something and pushed Si Teng towards the corpse of Chi San.

“Okay!” Si Teng nodded, placed his hand on Shen Yindeng, also known as Chi San, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the energy from Chi San.

In no time, the power of the Crimson Umbrella was completely absorbed and then slowly digested.

However, the red umbrella contained too much energy, exceeding Si Teng's digestive capacity, and also contained toxins, making him appear frail and weak.

"Let me detoxify you!" Lin Hao noticed Si Teng's weakness and said with concern as he helped her up.

“No need!” Si Teng shook his head and said, “I’ve absorbed the power of the Crimson Umbrella, and I can detoxify immediately!”

"Phew!" Soon, the toxins in Si Teng's body were eliminated by himself.

"Let's go, we still need to save those idiots!" Seeing that Si Teng had recovered, Lin Hao took her hand and led her to the group of Suspense Masters.

Poisoned by the Crimson Umbrella, the group of Suspense Masters, unlike Si Teng, did not possess his physique. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people either; they had simply lost their ability to move.

"Don't move, Miss Si Teng has detoxified you!" Lin Hao reminded them.

"Thank you, Miss Siteng!"

"Miss Sito, thank you so much!"

"Miss Sito, please feel free to do as you please!"

"Thank you so much!"

Hearing the compliments from everyone, Lin Hao smiled and turned to Si Teng, saying, "Come on!"

"Hmm!" Si Teng nodded, using his vines to detoxify the group and silently remove the vine-like poison from their bodies.

"Thank you, Ms. Sito."

"Thank you!"

"Many thanks!"

After the poison was neutralized, the members of the Suspended Gate were filled with shame and never mentioned the matter of "exorcising demons" again.

If it weren't for Si Teng today, they would probably all have been killed by Shen Yindeng.

Lin Hao pointed to the corpse of the Crimson Umbrella in the distance and said:
"That's Red Umbrella, also known as Shen Yindeng, a good friend of your Suspended Gate. If you'd like to go and see him, you can go!"

The group expressed their gratitude again and then walked over. They had never seen the true form of the Crimson Umbrella before and were quite curious.

Over the years, not to mention the Red Umbrella, other tribes have basically never seen it either, so they can't help but be curious about this strange creature.

"Miss Si Teng, Mr. Lin!" A familiar voice rang out; it was Yan Furui.

He came here partly to look for a tiled house, and partly to see if he could be of any help.

We arrived a little late; the story was almost over when we finally got here.

"Let's go! I'll take you to find a tiled house!" Lin Hao nodded and led the way, with Si Teng and Yan Furui following behind.

Hearing the commotion, the other members of the Suspended Gate also quickly followed.

Red Umbrella's body was just there, nothing special, but Wafang was a living, breathing person.

Although these members of the Suspended Gate had eccentric tempers and their personalities weren't exactly great, they were decent people and wouldn't repay kindness with enmity, which was why Lin Hao let them go this time.

Otherwise, if Si Teng were to make a move, you could wipe them all out.

Moreover, keeping them around is also to prevent other tribes from causing trouble in the future, so that someone can eliminate evil and protect the people.

Leading the group, Lin Hao stopped in front of a giant red cocoon of light. Through the cocoon, he could see the sleeping tile-roofed houses.
