Chapter 158: Killed by a Trap (6000 Words)


[Mountain God of Hot Position returns to position!]

The sudden prompt made Yan Chenggong frown slightly.

'Hot Position? Hot?'

He thought of his own position: Appraisal.

'Appraisal Position, Hot Position, are there other positions as well?'

Yan Chenggong's eyes were filled with suspicion: 'This Hot Position, who is it? Human, or alien? The alien stowaway aims to seize my Mountain God Mountain, indicating that theoretically, an alien stowaway could refine their divine format and become the Mountain God as well.'

Thinking of this, his heart was somewhat agitated.

If he could know who the other party was, then it would be fine, be it defense or recruiting.

But there was only one prompt, leaving him clueless as to what action to take.

'I wonder if divine format can be fused?'

After learning of the existence of other divine mountains, he suddenly had this thought.

'One divine format isn't strong enough, what about two? What about more?'

'No way, I can't leave Mountain God Mountain, damn it!!'

The more Yan Chenggong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He felt that the amount he sighed in the past two days exceeded that of the previous three years combined.

'Why hasn't Lingde returned? Could it be that Yang Yuan killed him?'

Suddenly, he thought of Lingde whom he had sent out.

A day or more had already passed.

Even if Lingde rested for an hour after running partway, it should have been enough time to make the round trip.

But now, within the area of Mountain God Mountain, there was no trace of Lingde.

'It shouldn't be the case, Yang Yuan shouldn't have such a strong desire to kill, otherwise, he might have killed me last time when I was snatching the divine format. It makes no sense for him to suddenly kill Lingde now.'

As time passed, Yan Chenggong became more and more uneasy, always feeling as if something was going to happen.

He originally didn't have any crisis premonition abilities, but after becoming the Mountain God, he gained the godly perception of divine beings, having some instinctive premonition about matters unfavorable to him.

"Chenggong, what are you thinking about again? Have something to eat, you haven't eaten for a long time."

Lu Mei, who was elegantly attired and exuding charm, walked in with a bowl of steaming soup.

"Thank you, Mei."

Yan Chenggong forced a smile, picked up the soup bowl, and took a spoon, habitually using his Rule System Appraisal ability, realizing that this was just a bowl of simple meat soup, before he began to drink it slowly.

"Why do you seem more burdened after becoming the Mountain God?"

Lu Mei asked with some concern.

She naturally sensed her husband's ability fluctuation but paid it no mind.

Because her husband was just that kind of person, not trusting anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically promoted someone who focused on work and didn't like thinking as his deputy.

"I have a bad premonition."

Yan Chenggong put down the spoon, placing the half-drunk bowl of soup on the table beside him, sat down on the sofa, pulled Lu Mei into his arms, and said in a low voice, "After becoming the Mountain God, I acquired the ability to foresee danger, and I keep feeling that something bad is going to happen."

"Is it Yang Yuan who's going to deal with us?" Lu Mei asked worryingly.

"It doesn't quite feel like it; if Yang Yuan really wanted to deal with us, he could've shot me down in one arrow, there's no need for such troubles."

Yan Chenggong said, "Anyway, be careful these few days, I know you have your ways, try to keep an eye out for me these days."

"Chenggong, you're really kidding me, what can I do as a woman?" Lu Mei said helplessly.

"Heh..."

Yan Chenggong suddenly laughed, "Wasn't it you who killed the woman I was once engaged to? Mei, I know everything, the reason I married you was that I liked your acting abilities, you enjoy pretending to be dumb in front of me."

"Chenggong, what are you saying?" Lu Mei's face was filled with bewilderment and shock: "You're actually suspecting me?"

"Sigh, here we go again, I'm suddenly starting to dislike your pretending to be dumb behavior."

Yan Chenggong suddenly became a bit angry and forcefully pressed Lu Mei onto the sofa.

...

The sun rose.

Lingde, his face filled with terror, held a wooden knife and ran back quickly, constantly looking back.

'The commander will surely know, the commander will surely know…'

He tried hard to make a terrified expression while self-hypnotizing, thinking of things that would frighten him.

Because this incident was clearly messed up by him, initially for the commander's face, also for his own, he changed the commander's words on his own, not mentioning that Yang Yuan's help to kill the stowaway meant submitting to Yang Yuan.

At the time, he acted out of anger without considering too much but became more frightened on his way back.

Being Yan Chenggong's close confidant, he knew too well the personality and means of his commander.

The person he hates most is someone lying to him, unless it's for fun and he pretends to be willingly deceived, but all this has the premise that he is aware of everything and is willing to watch others act.

If the commander knew he acted on his own, he would definitely kill him.

To conceal this, he already killed the two accompanying subordinates.

He even went as far as burying their miraculous wooden knives somewhere, not daring to bring them back.

'I'm doing all this for the commander's good, after all, it's the Mountain God, having a wild superpower user ahead of him is too embarrassing, if spread, the commander won't be able to hold his head high.'

Lingde tried hard to convince himself that everything he did was for the commander.

Otherwise, following the commander's directive, the commander would become a laughingstock among the gods in the future, a black mark that could never be erased.
