After roughly determining the enemy's exact location, Guo Ying naturally wanted to notify Miss Yun Que to come and join them.
He immediately encountered the same situation as Miss Skylark before: all the messages he sent disappeared without a trace, never even being marked as read, let alone receiving a reply.
"...I think Youyou has probably already entered the Ghost Realm, and she has likely encountered another investigator."
After a moment's thought, Qin Huanyu made a deduction and briefly recounted Yuan Baixue's matter:
"That's how it is... That shrine maiden's magic is quite good, but unfortunately, all the nutrients that should be used for her brain are used for her breasts. She's a reckless and foolish woman who's greedy for quick success... If she and Youyou were to meet by chance in the mountains, she would most likely drag Youyou directly into the Ghost Realm. Perhaps she has some other way to sneak into the Ghost Realm."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, to the top of the mountain!"
Guo Ying looked somewhat worried and immediately made a decision.
Qin Huanyu was also a little worried that Miss Yun Que and Yuan Baixue might unlock the defeat animation, but of course she wouldn't object.
She scanned the surroundings with her Mathematical Eyes and immediately identified the highest mountain in the vicinity, then headed towards it with Guo Ying.
After the first transformation, Qin Huanyu gained physical abilities that far surpassed those of ordinary people, while Guo Ying, as a practitioner of the ancient methods, would use spiritual essence to strengthen herself. Both of them moved very fast in the mountains and forests, completing the climb of the several hundred-meter-high peak in less than half an hour.
However, the summit of this mountain looks very ordinary, and there is no ancient castle as rumored.
"Don't rush, let me look... I've found it."
Qin Huanyu used her Mathematical Magic Eye to observe her surroundings again and quickly made a discovery.
On a slope about 30 meters from the top of the mountain, a glowing talisman can be seen faintly.
"That must be the work of that stupid shrine maiden. Youyou and the stupid shrine maiden most likely entered the Ghost Realm from here," Qin Huanyu said, pointing to the talisman.
"Then let's go in from here too."
As Guo Ying spoke, she tried to jump towards the talisman.
"Don't!"
Qin Huanyu reacted quickly and grabbed him:
"Do you understand the witch's magic? If you fail to get in and instead destroy the talisman, we might not be able to get in for a while."
"...Then do you have any good ideas?" Guo Ying asked back, somewhat unconvinced.
"Of course."
Qin Huanyu snorted and took out a bomb that looked about the size of a can of cola from her tactical pouch:
"This spell of the foolish priestess should also utilize the principle of resonance with the demon realm, probably replicating the condition of 'climbing to a high place to find one's way after getting lost in the mountains'... In other words, the place where the talisman is located currently has a high degree of overlap with the demon realm."
"so?"
Guo Ying agreed with Qin Huanyu's assessment and pressed for further details.
“In this situation, the destruction of the talisman may cause it to lose this overlap, making it impossible for us to find a way to enter the ghost realm. However, if the destructive force is strong enough, it can also blast through this overlap point, which is equivalent to smashing open the wall to create a new door.”
As Qin Huanyu spoke, she pulled the pin on the bomb in her hand and hurled it forcefully towards the location of the talisman. Then she quickly called to Guo Ying to find cover.
"Quick, dodge! This is a bomb using Spirit Element technology. Don't be fooled by its small size (about the size of a can of cola). Its power is comparable to a 500-pound aerial bomb, and it can also generate electromagnetic effects... I only brought one with me this time. I originally planned to save it for the final boss, but I didn't expect to use it to open the door."
boom!
With a deafening roar, an unusual phenomenon appeared at the site of the explosion, just like a texture error in a game, revealing the entrance to another world.
This strange phenomenon was not unfamiliar to Qin Huanyu, who had experienced the Pure Love God of War case, and Guo Ying, who was also experienced. They knew that the entrance to the Ghost Realm had been opened, and they rushed in one after the other.
Similar to the feeling when entering the ghostly realm of the God of Pure Love, the surroundings were filled with bizarre and surreal light, followed by a dramatic change in environment. The sunny mountaintop transformed into a Western-style ancient castle in the dead of night, and Guo Ying, who had been right beside me, disappeared.
Having had a similar experience before, Qin Huanyu was not flustered. No matter where they ended up after entering the Ghost Realm, everyone would eventually have to enter the castle to fight the Wild Hunt, so they could meet up in the castle.
This Western-style castle is quite large, with a circumference estimated to be over two kilometers. It is surrounded by a moat about five meters wide, and can only be accessed via a drawbridge.
At this moment, the drawbridge was not raised, but laid flat on the moat, and the castle gate at the end of the drawbridge was open, as if the host was welcoming guests.
Qin Huanyu definitely wouldn't go through this eerie-looking entrance. She just waited near the suspension bridge for a few minutes, and when she didn't see Guo Ying, she wrote a message for Guo Ying on the ground before starting to look for other ways to enter the castle.
After circling the castle, Qin Huanyu couldn't find any other entrances. She had to temporarily take on the role of Miss Lark, like a phantom thief infiltrating a treasure vault, shooting out steel cables and securing them to the castle walls to climb.
Throughout the journey, Qin Huanyu was extremely careful of any traps or mechanisms that might exist on the outside of the castle. However, she did not encounter any attacks as she climbed from the outer wall to the top of the castle.
Moreover, Qin Huanyu also met up with a teammate at the top of the castle.
It's Miss Lark. She's peeking through a window at the top of the castle, her bottom sticking out.
"What are you looking at, Youyou?"
Qin Huanyu chuckled upon seeing this, walked over, and naturally slapped the part of Miss Yun Que that was sticking out. Then she moved her face close to Miss Yun Que to look at it together.
"Alas?"
Miss Lark trembled slightly and immediately glared at him angrily:
"Who is Youyou? Why do you always mistake me for her?"
"Pfft!"
Qin Huanyu was even more delighted, and immediately put her arm around Miss Yun Que's waist, then reached around to the other side and grabbed Miss Yun Que's hand, scratching her palm:
"Stop acting, Youyou. I've met your senior brother Guo before... He's not as clever as you. He was easily fooled by me and he gave himself away."
"!"
Miss Yun Que, also known as Yi Youyou, froze instantly, her anger exploding like gasoline meeting sparks and oxygen.
"That low-EQ idiot, Lao Guo!"
"Haha."
Seeing that Yi Youyou had finally admitted her identity, Qin Huanyu was even more pleased.
However, she didn't forget the important matter, quickly suppressing her smile and even pinching Yi Youyou, who was about to burst out in anger:
“We’ll talk about these things when we get back. First, tell me how things are in the Ghost Realm. Did you run into Yuan Baixue? You know, that slightly dim-witted but pretty good witch with magic.”
"...So you already know her."
Yi Youyou gave Qin Huanyu a meaningful glare before gesturing with her eyes to the window Qin Huanyu had been peeking through:
"Look, she's right there... Just like you and Lao Guo, she and I came in together, but we separated after we came in. When I found her, she was like this."
Qin Huanyu quickly looked over; she had been so focused on teasing Yi Youyou that she had almost forgotten about the important matter.
Below the window was a corridor of the castle. Yuan Baixue had indeed been defeated again. She was bound tightly with hemp rope and hung from the ceiling. Her mouth was stuffed with her own sock, and her eyes were brimming with tears. She looked pitiful, helpless, and feverish.
Surrounding Yuan Baixue were five men dressed as hunters, wearing sun protection clothing or camouflage, each carrying weapons such as spears, harpoons, and crossbows.
However, these five hunters were clearly abnormal; their eyes had turned completely blood red, and their bodies were bubbling with evil spiritual energy, indicating that they had been deeply corrupted.
"..."
Qin Huanyu remained silent for a moment, speechless, but did not ask Yi Youyou why she didn't go to save people.
It's obvious that Yuan Baixue was used as bait. It's not difficult to take down the five demonized hunters in the corridor below, but the problem is that the Mad Hunter might be hiding nearby... He's a monster of the Ghost Realm Lord level. If she's ambushed, Yi Youyou will most likely have to unlock the defeat animation immediately, without even a chance to escape.
"Shall we go and meet up with Lao Guo first?"
Qin Huanyu thought for a moment and then whispered this suggestion to Yi Youyou.
"Need not."
Yi Youyou shook her head, appearing very confident:
“I didn’t have any good ideas before, but now it’s simple. We just need to wait for Lao Guo to find the Wild Hunt and start fighting before we go down to rescue them. Lao Guo is actually a brute, not much better than this stupid witch down there. It’s just that Lao Guo is more skilled and experienced in fighting.”
"I see...that works too."
Qin Huanyu agreed with Yi Youyou's method, so the two continued to wait on the top of the castle, watching Yuan Baixue dangling in the air, her shaman's outfit, already full of holes, barely covering her body, and she was bound in a very messy way with hemp rope.
As she watched, Yi Youyou suddenly bit Qin Huanyu's ear:
"Isn't this defeated, foolish witch beautiful? Doesn't the way she's so pitiful, bound by ropes, give you a good feeling? Hmm?"
The voice was ambiguous, but also incredibly sour.
Qin Huanyu found it amusing. She wasn't afraid of this tactic at all, so she naturally reached out and put her arm around Yi Youyou's waist, and blew a breath into Yi Youyou's ear as well:
"Oh, not at all... While the defeated, foolish shrine maiden is alright, I still find the phantom thief lady, whom I captured, handcuffed to the bed, and interrogated, much more charming~~"
"I won't let you, you idiot cop, catch me... Waaah!"
Yi Youyou quickly turned around to refute, but was suddenly kissed by Qin Huanyu. Her beautiful blue eyes widened in surprise.
boom!
Just as the two were losing their composure amidst the thrill and excitement, an explosion suddenly came from deep within the castle, and flames could be seen on the glass in the distance.
"It's Lao Guo's Exploding Flame Sword Qi! For him to unleash such a powerful attack, he must have already encountered the Wild Hunt and begun fighting!"
Yi Youyou skipped over what had just happened:
"Let's go, let's rescue that stupid witch, and then meet up with Lao Guo... Don't worry about Lao Guo, he's our equivalent of your inspector. He's definitely much weaker than Lü Meng, he can't solo the Lord of the Ghost Realm, but he can still hold his own against the Lord of the Ghost Realm for a while."
"understood."
Qin Huanyu also put away her frivolous expression and prepared for battle:
"By the way, are there any hope for those corrupted hunters down there? Should we hold back?"
In fact, Qin Huanyu had no intention of holding back, but in order to maintain a kind and good impression in front of Yi Youyou, she still had to ask.
"If they could be saved, you would show them mercy?"
However, could Yi Youyou not understand Qin Huanyu? She immediately asked a question with a half-smile, but quickly answered:
"Go ahead and attack. This level of demonization has already made them part of the bizarre phenomenon of the Wild Hunt... Even if you don't kill them now, they will still die when we successfully defeat the main body of the Wild Hunt."
"Okay... I'll take the three on the right, and you can have the two on the left?"
Qin Huanyu held both the Dragon-Slaying Mace and the Arc Rifle in her hands, while the alloy tentacles at her lower back were unsealed and ready to move.
"no problem."
Yi Youyou is also very confident.
The two then looked at each other, and simultaneously kicked the castle window, shattering it, and jumped out.
The five demon hunters immediately spotted the two women. Two of the demon hunters, who were holding crossbows, raised their weapons and pulled the triggers, firing bolts.
However, this was already in Qin Huanyu's calculations before she made her move. The Dragon-Slaying Mace struck first, not only shattering both crossbow bolts in mid-air, but also continuing to smash down, directly crushing the head of a demonized hunter wielding a crossbow.
Seeing this, another demon hunter wielding a spear immediately launched a sneak attack, attempting to stab Qin Huanyu in the buttocks from behind. However, just as he was about to hit her, the spear was entangled by alloy tentacles. Then, the alloy tentacle snake pierced through the demon hunter's neck with a single blow.
That wasn't all. While using the Dragon-Slaying Mace to blow someone's head off and the alloy tentacles to pierce them, Qin Huanyu also used the Arc Rifle in her other hand to aim and fire in one smooth motion after landing, taking down the third demonized hunter who had just raised his harpoon... This time, Qin Huanyu used a powerful arc, the high temperature of which even caused carbonization to appear on the surface of the demonized hunter.
As Qin Huanyu swiftly killed three demonized hunters, Yi Youyou finished off her as well, with the other two demonized hunters also being killed instantly.
The demon hunter with the crossbow had a coin-sized hole in his forehead, likely pierced by some kind of weight-altering projectile from Yi Youyou. The other demon hunter with the spear took a direct hit from the young lady's heavy boots, his head crushed.
Upon seeing Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou arrive like a divine intervention, Yuan Baixue's pitiful and helpless expression finally turned into surprise and excitement. Even though she still couldn't speak because her mouth was stuffed with her socks, she still tried her best to make whimpering sounds to express her joy.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get you down right away."
Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou took out their phones in perfect unison, first taking pictures of Yuan Baixue's current embarrassing state, then using the chain alloy blade to cut the ropes binding Yuan Baixue, and intending to untie her.
"Let me do it."
Unexpectedly, Yi Youyou suddenly stepped in front, taking over the task of untying Yuan Baixue, and secretly rolled her eyes at Qin Huanyu:
"If I let you untie her, you'll definitely take advantage of her!"
After saying that, she turned around solemnly and said to the bewildered Yuan Baixue:
"You'd better watch out for this girl in the future! She's a slut, be careful she doesn't take advantage of you under the guise of being best friends!"
Chapter 137 Let's team up and raid dungeons!
"Huh? You're Yi?"
Yuan Baixue immediately hugged herself with both hands, looking at Qin Huanyu nervously... She wasn't this nervous when she was tied up and hung up by several demonized hunters, because she knew that the demonized hunters would at most kill her, and wouldn't lust after her body.
Recalling her past experiences, Yuan Baixue's eyes even reddened:
"No wonder you treated me like that...you're a filthy scoundrel!"
"what?"
Yi Youyou was stunned for a moment, then her eyes immediately turned unfriendly, and she gave Qin Huanyu a look full of disdain, as if she were looking at a scumbag woman:
"What's wrong with her?"
"She...she...she..."
