Chapter 510: Wild Hunting Ground

“What the hell?!”

Nie Yu’s scalp tingled. His instincts told him great danger was approaching, and he immediately retreated!

However, before he could reach the door, something wrapped around his ankle. Nie Yu looked down and saw that under the dim green emergency lights, countless embroidered threads emerged from the ground, weaving into numerous pulsating chains that forcibly pulled him back to his spot.

Nie Yu’s brow furrowed deeply. His hunting knife cut a long arc in the darkness, and the threads were quickly severed. Under the extremely sharp “blade” of the Celestial Wolf, the threads’ function was undoubtedly severely limited.

But this brief delay made Nie Yu completely lose his chance to escape the museum.

From behind the screen, dense embroidered threads drifted out from the gaps in the museum’s main door. In the blink of an eye, they completely stitched the door and wall together, like weaving a perfectly seamless wall on an embroidery cloth, completely merging the inside and outside.

Nie Yu threw his hunting knife with a whistle, and it plunged into the main door with a violent thud, but only penetrated a third of the way. Even with its sharp edge, it couldn’t instantly destroy it.

“Damn it…” Nie Yu’s heart sank at the sight. He immediately reached out to retrieve his hunting knife, but a tiny, cold glint flashed through the air, instantly surpassing his reach and tying itself to the knife’s handle. With a gentle tug, it reeled the knife in, leaving Nie Yu grasping at air.

Nie Yu turned back in astonishment and saw that in the embroidery on the center of the wall, a figure sitting in a fishing boat, wearing a straw hat, smiled slightly. The fishing rod in his hand rapidly retracted, and with a casual lift of his hand, he held the hunting knife…

His knife was fished away by the fisherman in the embroidery??

Nie Yu stood frozen for a moment.

*Swoosh—!*

A whooshing sound came from above his head. Without thinking, Nie Yu put his arms up defensively. The next moment, a wild boar over three meters long crashed down like a meteorite, its body covered in fur like steel needles. Its terrifying force directly slammed Nie Yu into the ground!

Nie Yu’s body was pinned beneath the wild boar, and jagged cracks spread wildly across the ground. His hands, gleaming with black iron luster, barely managed to support his body as several figures simultaneously lunged towards him!

One was a dark-skinned young man holding a hoe, another was a young woman with an umbrella, and a third was a cowherd charging on an ox. Nie Yu couldn’t clearly see their faces, or rather, their faces were inherently blurry. Threads interwove to form their bodies, and behind each of them swirled the background of their respective embroidery.

A fierce expression appeared on Nie Yu’s face. He let out a low growl, his muscles bulging, and forcibly pushed the wild boar off him. The boar landed on the ground, and the entire museum shook with a resounding thud.

This wild boar was incredibly heavy. If Nie Yu hadn’t been a Soldier God Path practitioner, any other Spirit Path with weaker defenses would likely have been crushed into pulp instantly…

No sooner had Nie Yu freed himself from the wild boar than a long umbrella embroidered with flowers and vines spun up into the air. The young woman lightly tapped its surface with her toes as if weightless, and with a graceful, jade-like finger, she pointed at Nie Yu from above.

Countless vines surged towards Nie Yu from all directions. Without his hunting knife, Nie Yu couldn’t possibly clear a path by slashing. He could only barely weave through them with his speed and agility. But the next moment, a silver hoe, seemingly capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones, suddenly ripped through the air and swung directly at Nie Yu’s face!

Nie Yu reacted incredibly fast. His iron-clad hands were quicker, grasping the hoe’s handle. His strength erupted to its peak at that moment. He wrestled with the dark-skinned young man amidst the swirling vines, and the ground beneath their feet shattered inch by inch!

The hoe was slowly pushed down by Nie Yu. The dark-skinned young man seemed not to have expected Nie Yu’s strength to be so terrifying, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. Just then, a massive ox shadow burst out from behind a wall of vines, directly ramming Nie Yu away like a roaring truck!

“Go to hell!” laughed the cowherd riding the ox.

*Thump—!!*

Nie Yu’s body crashed through three or four walls consecutively before he could barely dissipate the impact force. Clouds of dust rose into the air.

From amidst the rubble of broken stones, a bloodied hand slowly extended. Following that, Nie Yu’s body slowly rose. He was covered in bloodstains and injuries, but in his eyes, there was not the slightest trace of fear; instead, they grew even more ferocious…

Like a wolf thoroughly enraged!

“A bunch of woven figures… and you think you can kill me?!”

*Bang—!*

Nie Yu took a forceful step, sending scattered debris flying into the air.

At the same time, an enormous wolf’s eye slowly opened from nothingness, overlapping with the full moon behind the rain clouds. A chilling and bloody aura instantly enveloped the entire museum!

Celestial Wolf Path — Domain: Wild Hunt Field.

Yao Qing, who was running inside the museum, stumbled, nearly tripping and falling headfirst to the ground!

A muffled thud came from the ground, as if something was chiseling through rock layers. The museum shook with the trembling earth, lanterns outside the corridor swayed erratically, and faint creaking sounds emanated from everywhere.

“An earthquake??” Yao Qing’s heart jolted.

Perhaps due to the earthquake, a few minutes earlier, the lights inside the museum had completely failed. Both the exhibition halls and corridors were plunged into darkness. Coupled with the continuous night rain outside, there was almost no light as far as the eye could see, save for the emergency exit signs.

Fortunately, Yao Qing had lived here for many years and knew everything about the place like the back of his hand. The location he was in flashed into his mind: the intermediate area between the front exhibition hall and the backyard, with a side door not far away.

“Out of nowhere… why an earthquake?” Yao Qing’s brows furrowed deeper. He felt the tremors coming from beneath his feet; they weren’t continuous like an earthquake, but rather intermittent, and the intensity of each tremor varied.

Yao Qing felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to open his phone to check for earthquake warnings, a sudden conversation drifted from the direction of the side door.

“Damn it, how many doors does this place have? Why do I feel like we’ve circled back again??”

“It’s mostly because there are no lights. It’s pitch black everywhere, and every corridor seems the same…”

“Now we don’t even know where we are, how are we supposed to find Su Zhiwei? Su Zhiwei’s head is worth eight million. You’ve seen how strong that Hunter is; with him here, Su Zhiwei is as good as dead… If we keep wasting time like this, someone else will get her!”

“Don’t worry, if we can’t find the way, neither can anyone else.

“Now, it’s just a matter of luck.”

Hearing this conversation, Yao Qing, hidden in the darkness, trembled. Cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead.

Those assassins? They actually found their way here??

Yao Qing held his breath and hid in the darkness. Under the dim green emergency exit lights, he could barely make out two figures passing through the corridor side by side… Their bulky outer coats were already open. One held a military knife with a chilling glint, and the other carried a miniature submachine gun, seemingly ready to kill at any moment.
