The three ghost hunters’ movement was fast. Within just 2 hours, they had already reached the place where Lin Feng had accepted a mission.

Xiao Feng Mountain was a tourist attraction outside Liucheng more than a hundred years ago. People from Liucheng usually liked to climb it on weekends.

At Xiao Feng Mountain, you could still see some ancient and dilapidated temples.

“Old Guo, Lin Feng probably hasn’t arrived here yet. Look, that temple over there.”

That temple, which had been desolate for over a hundred years, was now lit by candlelight.

It was clearly abnormal.

“The main path up the mountain is over there. The view is best from there, and we can see several other directions. Let’s set up an ambush there and deal with Lin Feng.”

“Alright!”

The other two ghost hunters glanced at each other and agreed with this arrangement.

So, the one with the square face, along with the other two ghost hunters, quickly reached that small hilltop, where they hid among the trees and set up an ambush.

……………………

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Lin Feng was still on his way.

By noon, Lin Feng finally arrived at his destination.

It was a quarry north of Liucheng.

This was a cement plant’s quarry. Due to the appearance of ghosts, dozens of people had died here, and it had long been shut down.

The other workers, who had fortunately escaped, were hiding far away.

Since no ghost masters had come out recently, the quarry had been idle for several days.

Although it was shut down, there was still the sound of knocking coming from the quarry.

“Tongtong, it’s up to you.”

Lin Feng said.

.

Just a few minutes later, Lin Feng walked out of the quarry.

The ghosts in the quarry had already been eliminated by Tongtong.

With Tongtong’s red dress, which was at least half a level higher, or even a whole level, dealing with a perilous level ghost… there was not much suspense.

The harvest was pretty good.

Besides the experience, Lin Feng also obtained a nail and a headscarf.

Both of these were ghost-related items.

They could be sold for contribution points.

“Now I can take this task.”

Lin Feng thought.

He directly accepted the task from the system panel and then went to inform the workers that the issue had been resolved.

The workers were skeptical at first, but when Lin Feng led them into the quarry, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

.

“Go to the next location and eliminate two more perilous level ghosts. Tongtong will definitely reach the terror level.”

Lin Feng opened the communicator and connected to the satellite signal.

Although ten contribution points per ten minutes for satellite internet was expensive, it was completely affordable for Lin Feng.

To put it in perspective, one hour costs only 6 contribution points, and a day only costs a little over a hundred contribution points, so running it all day is no problem.

Soon, Lin Feng found the location of another perilous level ghost and headed towards it.

He still didn’t accept the task in advance but prepared to do as he did before; Eliminate the ghost first and then accept the task. This way, they wouldn’t be able to locate Lin Feng and would be misled.

………..

On the other side.

At Xiao Feng Mountain, the three ghost hunters were still waiting there.

They were very patient.

They had waited for more than an hour, but these three ghost hunters showed no signs of impatience.

“Old Guo, something is wrong. I just refreshed, and another task has disappeared. The location is a quarry.”

One of the ghost hunters said.

This ghost hunter held two communicators, one connected to the network and one not.

The offline communicator’s task interface was stuck on the previous screen, while the online one had already refreshed.

Through this method, they could see changes in the tasks.

“Could it be that besides that kid, there are other ghost masters too?”

The other ghost hunter said.

Old Guo took the communicator, looked at it for a while, and then pondered, “It’s possible. There are still reckless ghost masters.”

“What should we do? Continue to wait here, or go to the quarry?”

“We have been waiting here for over an hour, and the other side hasn’t come… He Hai, you stay here. I’ll go with Qi Ping to the quarry. If we find Lin Feng’s trace, follow him but don’t act immediately. Send me a message.”

“Alright!”

.

The three ghost hunters quickly made a decision.

They split up!

One ghost hunter stayed at Xiao Feng Mountain.

The one with the square face and another ghost hunter went to the quarry.

.

As veteran ghost hunters, they were quite familiar with the environment outside the Liucheng base city.

By taking a shortcut, around three in the afternoon, the two ghost hunters arrived at the quarry.

“Has the ghost here been eliminated?”

The one with the square face asked the quarry workers.

“Who eliminated it? Was it a very young kid?”

The one with the square face continued to inquire.

“Yes, sir. Very young, about fifteen or sixteen. We thought he was lying, but it was indeed eliminated. The ghost detection instruments we carried no longer react.”

A worker supervisor replied.

“Just as I thought.”

Another ghost hunter named Qi Ping said.

“When was it eliminated?”

The one with the square face asked.

The worker supervisor said, “Half an hour ago.”

Half an hour ago!

“Did you see which direction he went?”

The one with the square face asked.

The worker supervisor shook his head, “I didn’t pay attention. He’s a ghost master; I didn’t dare to look at him too closely.”

“Qi Ping, keep an eye on the communicator. Let’s leave here first.”

The one with the square face made a decision.

……………………….

He took Qi Ping and left the quarry.

“He left half an hour ago. He might be resting nearby or preparing to accept the next task. Keep an eye out, Qi Ping.”

The one with the square face said.

“Yes, boss. Should I call He Hai over?”

Qi Ping asked.

The one with the square face said, “No need. A ghost master can accept up to two tasks simultaneously. We need to prevent the Xiao Feng Mountain task from being completed as well, and He Hai is too far away.”

The one with the square face didn’t know that shortly after he and Qi Ping left, the worker supervisor who had just spoken to them took out a communicator and sent a message.

Few ordinary people had communicators, but this worker supervisor needed to stay in contact with the cement plant, so he had one.

This worker supervisor… was actually bribed by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng used 50 contribution points to have him cooperate. Once Lin Feng left, if any ghost master came to ask about the situation here, he was to tell the truth… but with one lie.

That lie was about Lin Feng’s departure time.

Lin Feng had actually left several hours ago, but no matter when the other side arrived, the worker supervisor would only say that Lin Feng had left half an hour ago.

As for the other workers, they had been instructed by the worker supervisor and were sent to the quarry, so they would be too busy to talk to the square-faced ghost hunters.

The square-faced ghost hunter thought he was lurking in the dark and didn’t suspect that Lin Feng was already alert!

Then… the worker supervisor only needed to inform Lin Feng about the arrival of any ghost masters.

For this worker supervisor, there was no risk in this matter. Earning 50 contribution points, equivalent to 5000 yuan… was about half a month’s salary for him. How could he refuse?

…………….

On the other side.

Lin Feng, who had kept the satellite signal open, had already received the message.

“Sure enough… they are watching me?”

Lin Feng murmured.

What the person in the novice group said… had been basically confirmed.

“These guys think I’m easy to bully?”

Lin Feng’s gaze slowly turned cold.

“First, I’ll deal with you.”

He took Tongtong and entered a cave where there was also a perilous level ghost.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Feng came out.

The ghost in the cave had been dealt with.

Lin Feng checked the time.

It was still afternoon.

“Two people… so one is still at Xiao Feng Mountain? They probably think I solved the quarry ghost half an hour ago and are now watching the communicator, waiting for me to accept the next task, so they can ambush me there… Tongtong is only a little over a hundred experience points away from terror level… and her red dress state already has terror level combat power… let’s go to Xiao Feng Mountain!”

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes as he made his decision!

Yes.

He would use the opportunity created by these three ghost hunters splitting up to go to Xiao Feng Mountain and take out the lone ghost hunter there first!

For Lin Feng, this plan was not risky.

That ghost hunter was at most a level 4 ghost master, and might even be a level 3 ghost master.

Level 3 ghost masters were manageable.

If it was a level 4 ghost master, as long as Tongtong’s red dress state could hold its own against the opponent’s ghost, or block the opponent for a moment… Lin Feng’s three times the physique of an ordinary person would come into play.

.

With his decision made, Lin Feng immediately accepted the task that had already been completed in the communicator.

Then, Lin Feng used the map of the Liucheng base city area stored in the communicator to find a route that could avoid the other two ghost hunters and left for Xiao Feng Mountain!

If the other ghost hunter was not at Xiao Feng Mountain, Lin Feng could still kill the ghosts there to level up Tongtong to the terror level.

Those three ghost hunters, to avoid alerting the snake, would not kill the ghosts at Xiao Feng Mountain even if they had been there before!

.

New Mission
Counterattack the ghost master at Xiao Feng Mountain who is unfavorable to the host.
Task rewards
+800 experience, +2 ghost potential, +1 bond.

As soon as Lin Feng moved, a system mission was triggered.

Perfect timing.

After the counterattack, this wave of experience would be enough to level up Tongtong to the terror level!

.

“He Lao, we got it. The Cold Water Cave task was accepted! Lin Feng must be heading there!”

As soon as Lin Feng accepted the task, the ghost hunter named Qi Ping shouted excitedly on the other side.

“Let’s go. We’ll take a shortcut and ambush him there first!”

The square-faced ghost hunter sat up from the ground and quickly rushed to Cold Water Cave with Qi Ping.

Which was exactly where Lin Feng had just left.

They had no idea that Lin Feng had already solved the ghosts there and was preparing a counterattack plan to go around to Xiao Feng Mountain to take out the ghost hunter He Hai still waiting there!
