The City of Terror Chapter 355 – Land Of Mara

The armed people were clearly special. They wore camouflage clothing and held AK47s in their hands, and their faces were tanned to the point of being sunburnt, though there was no military insignia on their clothes. There was a huge possibility that these people were the secret organization's personal army.

At this point in time, the giant sea monster gradually dove deeper.

Wei Xiao Bei stared hatefully at the giant sea monster and quietly climbed ash.o.r.e.

The entire land in front of him was covered in mud. In the mud were red mangroves that looked like dragon claws. As he went further in, the roots of the trees wrapped with each other, causing the entire scene to look like abstract art.

However, the muddy ground was not a fun toy. Once someone stepped in it, the mud would cause them to sink up to their lower legs, and certain parts would even cause make an entire person sink.

Thus, walking through the mangrove forest was a very troublesome thing.

Even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei could not give up his pursuit.

However, when Wei Xiao Bei got on sh.o.r.e and stepped on a mangrove root, he suddenly felt numb on his forehead. ( Box novel.c om )

Someone is aiming at me!

Wei Xiao Bei's premonition was warning him.

As he stomped hard on the root, Wei Xiao Bei flew up like a northern goshawk taking off from the muddy ground.

Bang!

As the sound of the gun echoed, a long bullet had embedded itself on the spot Wei Xiao Bei had been standing. In an instant, the root had been split into pieces.

There!

Wei Xiao Bei instantly found the sniper hiding behind the lush mangroves!

The sniper's gun was still letting out a faint smoke.

Whoos.h.!.+

Wei Xiao Bei moved like lightning toward his a.s.sailant as he walked on the roots of the mangroves.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sniper shot four more bullets, all aiming at Wei Xiao Bei's body.

From feeling alone, Wei Xiao Bei could tell that this sniper's gun handling had reached a high level.

If he was still a 2-Star Terror Creature, he would have already been hit by the bullets. The bullets were shot every time he jumped.

While in the air, Wei Xiao Bei could not change his posture and dodge even if he wanted to.

However, from the eyes of the sniper, Wei Xiao Bei only waved his hand in front of his chest as the bullet that was shot suddenly disappeared. The bullet hole that should have appeared was not there.

The sniper was stunned after seeing this scene.

How the h.e.l.l is this happening?

Although the sniper had seen many unimaginable things inside the organization, this was the first time he had seen someone who could just make a bullet disappear with a wave of a hand.

However, he did not know that the reason Wei Xiao Bei could make the bullet disappear was due to the storage bag in his right hand. Naturally, only Wei Xiao Bei could do this. If it was other normal people, they wouldn't even be able to see the bullet's trajectory, let alone being able to use the storage bag to take the bullet.

Swing! The sniper pulled out a self-defense handgun and prepared to fight to the death.

However, the sniper instantly felt his eyes darken as the handgun in his hand was brushed away. Then his neck was grabbed and raised by the enemy.

“Tell me everything you know!”

Wei Xiao Bei's gaze concentrated on the sniper's face as he shouted with a stern voice.

In the next moment, the sniper's mouth leaked out black blood. This had startled Wei Xiao Bei. He immediately pried open the sniper's mouth, but it was too late as the sniper was already dead. Inside his mouth was a shattered fake tooth.

Wei Xiao Bei touched the black blood and smelled an apricot-like smell.

Cyanide!

Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes at the realization that it was cyanide.

The sniper was actually unafraid of death. Once he was grabbed by Wei Xiao Bei, he had immediately shattered his fake tooth and drank the cyanide, committing suicide.

From this, it could be seen that the control of the secret organization was very strict.

Moreover, organizations like these were usually very powerful!

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but frown. In truth, he was unwilling to face this organization.

However, things had already reached this point. Even if Wei Xiao Bei ran away, the organization might not leave matters at that.

After searching the sniper, Wei Xiao Bei found two handguns with a certain number of bullets and some tools, but he did not find anything to identify him by.

There was no doubt that the other party was very cautious, as they simply did not give him the chance to inspect things. ( Box novel.c om )

When Wei Xiao Bei had left the mangrove forest and stepped on hard ground, the small pig's consciousness had already become very fuzzy.

This meant that the small pig was already thirty kilometers away from him.

If the distance between them became even great, then he would have lost track of Leng Xin Xing.

Thinking up till this point, Wei Xiao Bei quickened his speed.

Very quickly, Wei Xiao Bei found an agricultural road which was in the direction Leng Xin Xing had moved.

On both sides of the agricultural road were plots of sugar cane that had already ripened. Some of the plots had even had their sugar canes cut off. There were also farmers busying themselves by binding the sugar canes and placing them in a truck.

Wei Xiao Bei listened attentively to the conversation of the farmers. He could not understand them, however, as the language was not in any Chinese dialect.

Could it be that I have already left China?

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. His phone had been submerged in the seawater, making it worthless for telling him where he was.

Time gradually pa.s.sed and night began to fall. Wei Xiao Bei could feel that he was no closer to the small pig than before.

There was no doubt that the other party had already stopped.

As he advanced, what appeared in front of him was now a tropical rain forest.

The small pig was within this tropical rain forest.

Wei Xiao Bei did not rudely enter as he pretended to be a tourist and made inquiries at the nearby village.

What Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that he was already within the borders of Thailand!

It became unsurprising to see the paG.o.da in the village.

In the village, there were many paG.o.das that could be seen. Every single Thai man would need to become a monk for the temple in order to foster their hearts whenever they come of age.

That said, swimming in the sea for a week to reach Thailand had truly surprised him.

However, when the forest became the topic, the villagers would let out expressions of terror and say, “That place is the Land of Mara! Do not approach it!”

Land of Mara?

Wei Xiao Bei had never heard of this name before. Luckily, the old people of the village were patient and explained things to him.

The one called Mara was one of the demon kings in Buddhism. Mara was better known as the devil king of the sixth heaven.

There are teachings in Buddhist scriptures that say that whenever Buddhas try to withdraw from worldly affairs every one of them would be visited by a demon king. The demon kings would then tempt them and disturb them.

As for the demon king named Mara, it was said that he was the demon king that descended on Siddhartha Gautama.

Thus, he was the most famous among the demon kings.

The reason why the forest was named as the Land of Mara was due to unimaginable events happening within the forest.

Someone entered the forest to cut firewood and fell asleep. When he woke up, he had already appeared outside the forest. Someone entered the forest to hunt, but not only did they not kill a single animal, but they were also injured. Someone even attempted to turn the forest into lumber, but their equipment suddenly broke.

These were examples of people who ended up better off. As time pa.s.sed, incidents like these increased and became even more severe. Since the past year, people who entered the forest would disappear without a trace, never to be seen again.

In the eyes of these villagers, the people who entered the forest were harmed by the demon king. The police had even attempted to go in, but they returned with dejection as they had encountered a ferocious animal and lost a few of their members.

Just like that, knowledge of the forest's terror spread far and wide, becoming known as the Land of Mara.

Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei had a rough understanding of the situation.

There was no doubt that three years prior, the secret organization had established their base in the forest. In order to prevent the villagers from entering the forest and to protect their secrets, they created a series of strange incidents.

As for what happened after, some of the villagers had probably found out their secret, so they had to be eliminated, creating a terrifying myth concerning the forest.

Just like that, the villagers would not dare enter the forest anymore and the police also could not do anything.

Since then, the secret organization had occupied the forest.

Naturally, the place might only be a branch office.

In order to prevent being found out by any surveillance cameras, Wei Xiao Bei hid in a shrub outside the forest. Then he closed his eyes and connected with the small pig.

This kind of connection had more limitations. It needed Wei Xiao Bei to concentrate his all, but the benefits were also greater. He could not only sense the small pig's position, but he could also tell the surroundings of the small pig in a short amount of time.

Following the connection, Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes, or to be more accurate, the small pig's eyes.

His surroundings were dark, and he was moving through some kind of tunnel.

Soon, dusky lighting appeared.

Then the connection cut off.

Wei Xiao Bie let out a sigh of regret.

The connection duration that the small pig could endure was not great, making it hard for Wei Xiao Bei to make out a lot of things.

However, he had confirmed that Leng Xin Xing entered a tunnel.

Wei Xiao Bei could not wait anymore. If he continued to wait, then he would not know when the secret organization would find the small pig.

This was difficult to say since the secret organization should have a lot of people who had entered the Dust World.

The only thing he did not know was the reason why the secret organization was gathering people.

According to novels and television, these kinds of secret organizations have the objective of earning money or world domination.
