"Oh... Jiang Jin actually has such a place."
Ding Yang stood in a forest and sighed softly.
This was the forest to the west of Jiang Jin City. In fact, this place was no longer within the boundaries of Jiang Jin. It was close to the Zhefei Mountain District at the back. It was originally a development zone. For this reason, the villagers in this small mountain village had moved away. However, recently, this place seemed to have been designated as a nature reserve, so the development plan was put on hold. Until now, it still maintained its original appearance.
Perhaps because it was closer to the sea, this forest was not like the forests on the mainland. 90% of it was made up of trees and shrubs. It looked very dense. It was more similar to the temperate rainforests in humid England.
The towering trees were covered with a thick coat of emerald green moss. The ground was also covered with carpet-like moss, making the whole forest look as beautiful as an oil painting.
At the edge of the forest, some traces of the original residents could be seen.
The old wooden house was also covered with moss and creepers. In the small yard separated by the few remaining fences, there were broken children's tricycles, stone tables, and parasols. These things were all wrapped in moss. The scenery as far as the eye could see was completely worthy of the word "green field." The feeling of being in a fairy tale world was enough to make people forget the dilapidated wooden house itself.
Now, this was the gathering place designated by the Unifying Church of the Universe. When the time came, someone would take them to the campsite.
"This group of swindlers is quite good at finding places." Xiao Zhengyi could not help but sigh. "But then again, I have to thank you for your help. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to sneak in."
In order to win the trust of the group of swindlers, Ding Yang took the three of them to spend a lot of money. They spent nearly half a million dollars to make the swindlers believe that Ding Yang was not a police officer. They treated Ding Yang and his group as examples of stupid people with a lot of money.
And it was not only Ding Yang. Fang Xiaoqing was also from a wealthy family. Although she did not usually show much, the occasional disdain for money made the swindlers feel more at ease. They were sure that they had hooked a fat sheep.
By the way, the reason why Xiao Zhengyi wanted to find Ding Yang to pretend to be rich instead of using Fang Xiaoqing's money was purely because of his pathetic self-esteem as a man …
After all, once the swindler was caught, the money would be returned. Therefore, Xiao Zhengyi was not afraid that Ding Yang's money would be wasted.
Ding Yang, on the other hand, had been stuck at a bottleneck recently. When he heard Xiao Zhengyi mention this matter, he immediately slapped his head and thought, "This is definitely the main storyline for the protagonist to earn merits and achievements. Maybe he can even have a fortuitous encounter and improve his skills." Moreover, Chen Tuwa, his comrade who had "gone through life and death" with him, was also here. Therefore, he came to help without hesitation.
Of course, even though he said that, Ding Yang did not really care much about this mission.
With his current level of strength that was half a step into the cultivation world, as long as he did not really encounter people from the cultivation world, he could almost do whatever he wanted among ordinary people. He really did not care about a few cultists like Cricket.
"Little Brother, what are you doing?"
After chatting with Xiao Zhengyi for a while, Ding Yang noticed that Chen Tuwa was squatting on the ground. It seemed like he was doing something. He could not help but ask curiously.
"Picking mushrooms."
Chen Tuwa shook the two plastic bags in his hands. "The ones in the white bag are edible, and the ones in the red bag are poisonous."
Although Chen Tuwa was not really a child who grew up in the mountains, he was still the most traditional village child. He knew a lot about mushrooms under the influence of the adults in the village.
"I can understand picking edible mushrooms, but why are you picking the poisonous ones?"
Xiao Zhengyi asked doubtfully.
"To poison them, of course." Chen Tuwa shrugged and answered matter-of-factly, "Isn't that master very powerful? If that's the case, there must be a way to deal with food poisoning, right? "
What he meant was that if he could not even deal with food poisoning, what kind of master was he? After experiencing this, there should be a lot of believers who would no longer blindly follow the so-called master. They should be able to wake up.
"... No, I remember that he specializes in Guardian Spirits. This food poisoning of yours doesn't seem to match his specialty."
Although Xiao Zhengyi was somewhat moved by this, he still felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, you guys are breaking the law!"
Fang Xiaoqing complained to this group of people who had little awareness of the law with an embarrassed expression.
"Anyway, let's take them first. It's better to be safe than sorry."
After collecting enough mushrooms, Chen Tuwa stuffed the bags into his pants to prevent them from being discovered by the scammers who came to pick them up.
Xiao Zhengyi looked at his movements and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, it did not seem wrong to put the mushrooms in his pants...
"Speaking of which, why are we camping this time?" Ding Yang watched their interaction with interest for a while before asking.
"Eh, didn't I tell you?" Xiao Zhengyi scratched his head and realized that he had really been too busy to mention this matter, so he explained, "Those scammers said that it's to understand the true meaning of the universe in nature, so they organized this camping activity. Only the fat sheep and the most devout believers can participate."
While they were talking, not far away, two burly men dressed in priestly attire walked over.
Chen Tuwa was stunned when he saw them, and then he remembered that he seemed to have met a guy dressed in similar attire by the roadside two days ago.
Xiao Zhengyi and Ding Yang looked at each other. The two of them had a lot of special experiences (Xiao Zhengyi was involved in most of the cases because of Xu Shenxing), so their experience and insight were naturally not comparable to ordinary people. They could almost tell that the two burly men were martial artists at a glance, and their faces were full of murderous intent. They were afraid that they had injured or even killed people before.
Although Chen Tuwa was quick-witted and had excellent acting skills, he was still lacking in this aspect. He only felt that the two burly men were not to be trifled with. As for Fang Xiaoqing, who did not understand the dangers of the world, she did not have any thoughts about it at all...
After confirming the identities of Ding Yang and his group, the two men began to lead the way in front.
Although the scenery in the forest was beautiful, it had been like this for a long time, and eventually, people would get tired of it.
They did not know how long they had been walking, but when no one was in the mood to enjoy the scenery, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up.
A small campsite appeared in front of them.
Xiao Zhengyi looked into the distance and saw a little girl with a black cat. He could not help but look happy, and he turned his head to Chen Tuwa.
"It seems that your mushrooms are not needed..."
