Chapter 253 Destination! The Corpse Transport is Over!
"Are you injured? I'll treat you!"
Anxin stretched out her hand, and a green light representing the healing power emerged from it. She smiled and said, "Now, can we finally take a good rest for a day? After rushing here and fighting for so long, I'm exhausted."
Lin Yuan nodded upon hearing this. He was indeed tired. He hadn't had a proper rest during his journey, and now that Xuanjizi's pursuit was over and all the troubles were resolved, he could finally have a good rest for a day.
Moreover, and most importantly, they are about to reach their destination on this journey of transporting corpses!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little excited. He reached into his pocket, took out the map of corpse transport, unfolded it, and carefully examined it by the light of the setting sun.
On the map, their route was marked with red lines, from the very beginning to the current Dry Corpse Valley, and the destination was Longhu Mountain.
Lin Yuan's finger followed the red line, sliding little by little to the location of the Dry Corpse Valley, and then to the location of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He couldn't help but laugh and said with emotion, "Don't worry, we only have three more days' journey to reach Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
As he spoke, he looked up at An Xin with a hint of relief in his eyes: "We're finally almost there. We can finally complete our mission. This journey has been anything but easy."
Upon hearing this, An Xin leaned over to look at the map and couldn't help but laugh: "So fast? I thought it would be much longer. We're almost there! What's the rush? Let's rest here for a day, get some rest, and recharge before continuing our journey. One more day won't make a difference."
Yes, we're almost there anyway, so one more day won't make a difference. We were rushing all the way because we were afraid that Xuanjizi would catch up. Now that Xuanjizi is dead, all the troubles have been resolved, and they can finally slow down and have a good rest.
Lin Yuan nodded and put the map away: "Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll rest here for a day and get some rest before setting off again tomorrow."
The two got right to work. First, they calmed down the out-of-control zombies, and then they moved the blood coffin to a relatively clean cave in the Dry Corpse Valley. It was where the dry corpses used to live, but now that Lin Yuan had cleaned them up, it was perfect as a temporary resting place.
Then, An Xin started a fire, while Lin Yuan went to the woods outside the valley, hunted two pheasants, cleaned them, and roasted them over the fire.
Soon, the aroma of roasted pheasant filled the entire cave. The two, who had been starving for so long, didn't care that it was hot and tore off pieces of meat to eat with gusto.
These past few days, in order to deal with Xuanjizi, they had been eating dry rations and hurrying on their way. They had never had a proper meal before. Now, they could finally enjoy a hot meal in peace.
"This journey has been truly difficult; I never expected to encounter so many things..."
The two chatted and ate until it got dark before stopping.
At night, Lin Yuan kept watch because the blood coffin needed someone to watch it, and he was also afraid that there might be some evil creatures that had escaped. So, he sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the moonlight outside, guarding An Xin and the blood coffin inside the cave.
The night passed uneventfully, without any unexpected events or evil spirits disturbing them. It was the most peaceful sleep they had had on their entire journey.
The next morning, the two packed their things, drove the carriage, and led the zombie horde on their journey once again.
This time, they didn't rush on their way. Instead, they slowed down and took the time to appreciate the scenery along the way. The green mountains and clear waters, the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers were completely different from the tense and thrilling journey they had experienced before.
They traveled easily for three days without any trouble, pursuit, or evil spirits, and reached the foot of Longhu Mountain peacefully.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the two saw a group of Taoist priests dressed in robes waiting there. The leader was an old Taoist priest with a sage-like appearance, white hair and clear eyes. When he saw Lin Yuan and An Xin, as well as the blood coffin on the carriage, he immediately came forward to greet them.
"Esteemed benefactors, we've been waiting for you!" the old Taoist priest said with a smile, his voice tinged with excitement. "We at Longhu Mountain have been waiting for you for half a month, just waiting for you to bring this blood coffin."
Lin Yuan and An Xin exchanged a glance and smiled. It seemed this was the place.
"You're too kind, Daoist Master. We rushed here, thankfully without causing any delays," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
The old Taoist priest quickly waved his hand: "No delay, no delay. You two must be tired from your journey. Come on, let's go up the mountain. We've prepared tea and are waiting for you."
As he spoke, he called over the other Taoist priests to come and help. The priests moved very gently and carefully, unloading the blood coffin from the carriage. It was clear that they valued this blood coffin very much.
Lin Yuan and An Xin followed the old Taoist priest up the mountain. The scenery of Longhu Mountain was indeed as good as its reputation. The green mountains and clear waters were shrouded in mist and clouds, and the whole place was filled with a fairy-like atmosphere, as if it were a fairyland.
The old Taoist priest stopped when they reached the main hall of Longhu Mountain. He cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Yuan and An Xin and said, "You two have had a hard journey. The person sealed inside this blood coffin is a senior of our Longhu Mountain. He was lost and wandered outside. Thanks to you two, you brought him back. We at Longhu Mountain are extremely grateful."
"Our senior has already transformed into a ferocious creature like a blood zombie. To prevent it from harming humanity, we must immediately send it away for salvation."
Lin Yuan nodded and handed the handover document, unique to the corpse-driving process, to the old Taoist priest: "Taoist priest, this is the handover document. Take a look. If there are no problems, we will hand over the blood coffin to you."
The old Taoist priest took the document, glanced at it, nodded, and then bowed again to Lin Yuan and An Xin, saying, "No problem, no problem, thank you both."
Just then, a system notification sounded in Lin Yuan's mind:
[Ding! Mission complete!]
[You have successfully escorted the blood coffin to its destination, Longhu Mountain. Mission completion rate: 100%!]
[Players are coming back soon!]
Lin Yuan and An Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing the relief in each other's eyes.
Finally, this journey of transporting corpses has come to an end.
They have finally completed their mission and can return home...
