"Bang! Bang!"
The scorching steam burst open, revealing the chemical agents needed for wastewater treatment in these pipes. Instantly, plumes of toxic fumes filled the entire factory.
The pipe beneath Huaiyin's feet lost its support and began to crack in sections, forcing her to jump to the ground.
Huaiyin tightened the gas mask on his head, his expression becoming serious.
After Rin-ryu-do's figure disappeared into the mist, the sound of his wooden wheel rolling also became much quieter, transforming into a fierce ghost hidden in the thick fog, ready to ambush Huaiyin at any moment.
Huaiyin swung his long sword, then flicked the hemp rope with his left hand, wrapping it around his arm.
Although we don't know exactly what Grandpa Ren did, such whipping could obviously cause great damage to Rin-yūdō, otherwise the usually headstrong Rin-yūdō wouldn't have been able to wake up instantly and change the rhythm of his attack.
The next lash should only be used at the last moment.
Suddenly, a firelight appeared not far away. Huaiyin knew that the Wheel Monk had arrived, and she quickly drew her long sword.
Wheelyomaru, transformed into a unicycle, burst out of the thick fog and suddenly attacked, its flames crackling in the smoke as it charged toward Huaiyin.
His route was tricky and winding, and Huaiyin couldn't dodge in time. He grazed Huaiyin's shoulder, and his clothes were instantly torn, revealing his shoulder and upper arm, leaving a scorched abrasion.
Huaiyin was in pain and reacted a little slower; by then, Lunrudo had already plunged back into the toxic fog.
The surrounding fog gradually thickened, and Ringo Shinzen's voice came through Huaiyin's earpiece: "Huayin-chan, are you alright? I can't see anything here..."
Huaiyin calmed down, and although her vision was mostly blocked by the gas mask, she still focused intently on observing everything in front of her.
She whispered, "It's okay if he can't see it. Just wait for my signal. I'll guide the Wheel Entry Path to the other side of the pipe and find a way to get him in."
Ringo asked worriedly, "But what about you?"
As the sound of the wooden wheels drew closer, Huaiyin turned and ran in the opposite direction of the sound, replying, "Don't worry about me."
Despite the thick fog all around, Huaiyin still managed to recall the location of the original biogas generator's pressure relief port thanks to her outstanding memory. At the same time, the rumbling Wheelyomiya was getting closer behind her.
The hemp rope whipped the ground, the wooden wheel rolled incessantly, and the sound gradually drew closer, soon arriving very close to Huaiyin's back.
Without a second thought, Huaiyin rolled over and disappeared behind the nearby load-bearing pillar.
"Bang!"
Wheelyom slammed into the supporting pillar, instantly creating a crater in it. Although it hadn't completely collapsed, it was severely deformed, and falling debris hit Huaiyin.
Huaiyin shook her body, feeling neither pain nor itching, and raised her hand to thrust her long sword at the paused Wheel Monk.
Still shaken by the whip strike from Huaiyin earlier, Lunyūdō let out a strange cry and quickly retreated.
At this moment, Rin-yūdō was extremely cautious. He had been incredibly arrogant when he realized that the two men's attacks on him were not strong enough, but now that he realized that Huaiyin had the power to hurt him, he immediately became incredibly cowardly.
Frustrated by his missed attack, Huaiyin taunted, "All you do is run away? You don't even dare to fight fair and square?"
Lunyūdō didn't bother with her, and his previous arrogant demeanor vanished. He disappeared into the fog in a flash.
Huaiyin didn't get flustered. After adjusting her breathing, she observed her position.
There were several vertical pipes beside him, which were the outlets for wastewater to be discharged into the sewers. However, in order to prevent the methane gas from exploding, these pipes were made of very special materials. They were all thick metal pipes that looked indestructible. Even a monster like Wheelyūdō would probably not be able to destroy them in one blow. Moreover, I don’t think Wheelyūdō would be that stupid.
Not far away, there was a device that looked like a manhole cover. It was a place where one could drill into the pipes for maintenance. Once that was opened, when Ringo Shinzen depressurized the biogas digester, she could light a fire there to completely ignite the entire biogas generator.
At that time, the powerful explosion might just blow the entire factory to the sky.
What should I do in that case?
Blocked here by the Wheel of Life, Huaiyin was unable to break through on her own.
Similarly, it's impossible to kill Rin-yūdō; to achieve the goal, the only option is...
Looking at the surrounding fog, she suddenly had some ideas.
………………
Wheel Drift sped through the mist, his body spinning constantly as the wooden wheels moved, but this did not hinder him from listening to his surroundings. The slightly tense heartbeat of Huaiyin made him drool.
But then, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance in the air.
The unpleasant odor in the surroundings posed no threat to Rin-yūdō, and the addition of this new smell did not concern him at all. Therefore, he nonchalantly turned around and drove over Huaiyin again.
The thrill of speed was addictive. Wanyūdō had already imagined everything that would happen after he captured that girl. Whether in legend or in reality, Wanyūdō was a despicable monster who liked to devour women and children and bully the weak.
But his despicable act ended there. As he continued to move through the smoke, he suddenly smelled an even sweeter aroma. In the next moment, as he was puzzled and confused, a burly and imposing figure emerged from the thick fog.
It was a pink, bizarrely tight-fitting man in a bodysuit, showing off his perfect physique like a bodybuilder.
His face was covered by a pale mask that revealed no expression, with two vertical holes in the mask, through which lay an unfathomable depth of darkness.
Born from the deep darkness of fantasy...
Where did this guy come from?!
Before Rin-yūdō could react, the tall, pink-clad man had already reached out his large hand and pressed down on his rapidly moving wooden wheel.
"Squeaky-"
A screeching sound rang out as the Fall Guy clone was pushed backward by the Wheely Path, but the Wheely Path's speed also slowed down as a result.
"How can this be..."
Before Rin-yūdō could finish speaking, the Fall Guy clone had already freed its hand and punched him in the cheek!
"Oops...?!"
Chapter 112 You stinky monster!
The Wheel of Fortune's way of thinking, along with his mind, was completely confused.
Where did this guy come from?
Or rather... what is this thing?!
Is it an evil spirit? A monster? Or an exorcist's accomplice? What on earth is going on? Where was this thing hiding? Why didn't I hear a single sound?!
The Fall Guy clone didn't care what he was thinking. It swung its fist, the size of a sandbag, again, delivering a wide, powerful punch that completely disrupted the momentum of the Wheel Monk's advance.
Wheelyūdō's body veered to the side, but Fall Guy grabbed the wheel axle and pulled him back. The fists were ruthless, pounding down on his head repeatedly.
The Wheel Monk was enraged by the blow, and all the ropes were bundled together and turned into a fist, which slammed directly onto the head of the Fall Guy clone. The clone, which only had a portion of the main body's power, could not withstand such a fierce hammer blow and was immediately sent flying, crashing into a pipe with a loud bang.
Rin-yūdō hissed as he inhaled the cold air. The Fall Guy clone's fist still hurt him a lot, and he felt like he couldn't even turn his neck. He had obviously been beaten badly.
The next instant, a sharp knife suddenly shot out from the mist and stabbed towards Rin-yūdō's neck.
Wheelyūdō had no time to dodge and could only swing his neck wildly. The knife narrowly missed his neck and slammed into the wooden wheel.
Seeing that her attack had failed, Huaiyin, wearing a gas mask, immediately retreated. The retaliatory ropes poked small holes in the ground, but failed to harm her.
Just as Huaiyin retreated, the Fall Bean clone came forward again, its strong arms bulging with muscles. It took a step forward and unleashed a powerful punch, causing Rin-ryu-do to stagger once more.
I'm speechless. Mixed doubles, huh?!
The Wheel of Fortune was on fire again. The burning hemp ropes reached out forcefully towards the Fall Guy clone and wrapped it up. Under the entanglement of the ropes, no matter how strong the Fall Guy clone was, it could not break free. Pink muscles were exposed under the ropes, making squeaking sounds.
After subduing the Fall Guy clone, Rin-yūdō snorted coldly and carefully examined the pink-suited man before him. After scrutinizing him for a moment, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Fall Guy?! How is this possible?!"
But before he could finish speaking, another gust of sweet and fragrant wind rushed out from the side and hit him!
Wheelyūdō turned his head and saw a blue-green jelly bean rushing out, swinging its fist again and punching him in the head!
"Pfft..."
What, what's going on? There's another one?!
"Wuhu Wuhu Wuhu..."
After landing a punch, the blue jelly bean yelled and rushed into the mist, disappearing from sight.
"Wuhu Wuhu Wuhu Wuhu..."
Then, eerie shouts echoed from the surrounding mist, sounding as if some primitive creatures were communicating with each other using incoherent roars.
"Dengdengdeng..."
Footsteps echoed through the thick fog, numerous and disordered, sounding as if they couldn't have been made by a single person.
There are...a lot more like this?!
Wheely Descent looked at the pink Fall Guy clone he was holding in utter terror. He had, of course, heard the legends about Fall Guys, and although he scoffed at the idea of Fall Guys hunting evil spirits, seeing it with his own eyes now... only filled him with fear.
It came to mind.
Unlike hideous monsters or eerie evil spirits, these jelly bean people... are simply beyond imagination.
We don't know why they are here, how they got here, which side they belong to, or what they came from...
Right now, Lunyūdō has no idea why these guys are attacking him. Could it be that they're in cahoots with that seemingly ordinary little girl?
Why didn't they show up in the first place?!
In short, we need to get out of here first...
The moment the thought crossed Rin-yūdō's mind, he was swarmed by the Fall Guys and brutally beaten. Even with flames enveloping his body, he couldn't escape the relentless attacks of the Fall Guys, whose fists, each the size of a sandbag, rained down on him, causing him to scream in agony.
Meanwhile, Huaiyin, somewhat dejected, hid to the side, squatting on a high pipe, hugging her legs and watching her "brothers" fighting bravely below, pouting and very unhappy.
Although she felt she wasn't without a chance of winning, considering her own safety... Huaiyin chose to survive, since as long as she was alive, she could gradually become stronger.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to release her specially made candy dolls that could completely obey her commands. A dozen candy dolls rushed forward and submerged Rin-yūdō.
"Ugh……"
Looking at the horrific scene below, resembling a wrestling match, Huaiyin let out an invincible sigh.
Fortunately, Rin-yūdō smashed all the nearby pipes, preventing Ringo Shinzen from seeing what was happening here, otherwise, Kai-on really wouldn't have been able to do this.
At this moment, Wanyūdō had already been ravaged by more than a dozen Bean People. The ropes had been forcibly untied and thrown on the ground. Wanyūdō's wooden wheel and body were even lifted high by several Bean People and pulled around. The wooden wheel made a creaking sound under the weight, which looked extremely cruel. It was hard to tell who the villain was.
As his head was being pulled, Rinyuu let out screams of agony: "Ugh, ughhhhh, ughhhhhh—"
Huaiyin fanned his hand, feeling that he could still smell a slight stench even through the gas mask.
She then waved her hand, signaling the jelly bean clones to set up the wheel tunnel and head towards the maintenance passage of the biogas vent.
The Fall Guy clones, having received their orders, happily lifted Wheely Way, much like sedan chair bearers carrying a wedding palanquin. Those Fall Guys who couldn't lift it clapped their hands gleefully. In this way, a group of muscular men carried the evil spirit to the entrance of the maintenance passage on the ground.
Huaiyin sighed and nodded.
The pink Fall Guy clone opened the sealed door on the ground, jumped in first, then took the struggling Wheel Monk and jumped in after him.
As Wheel Monk was forced into the passage, even a fool would know what was about to happen. He became increasingly enraged, and a dazzling golden light emanated from the top of his withered head, forming a crown on his head.
The flames around him grew even hotter, scorching the Fall Guy clones around him, and ropes made of pure flames appeared on the wooden wheel.
The hemp rope crackled and lashed against the Fall Guys, actually leaving wounds and dents on their bodies. The dents were charred black, with melted, sweet syrup flowing from their edges.
Chapter 113 Burning Fire Scroll Empty
The power of the crown?
Standing outside, Huaiyin stared intently and discovered that there were indeed abstract flames engraved on the crown. It seemed that the crown held by the Wheel Monk was capable of manipulating flames.
But in the few seconds that Huaiyin was thinking, Lunyūdō had already frantically unleashed his entire body of flames, and strands of flaming ropes whipped the Fall Guy clones, melting and even breaking their bodies.
Several Fall Guys were missing limbs; their bodies shattered and turned into ordinary candy blocks, slowly melting under high temperatures.
But these jelly bean men didn't understand the meaning of retreat. They remained full of fighting spirit. As the ones in front melted, the ones behind would step forward covered in the syrup of their predecessors. The colors of the various syrups on their bodies blended together, turning into colorful monsters that pushed the Wheel of Fortune back down.
In the narrow pipe, syrup flowed freely. One by one, the jelly bean clones gave Huaiyin a thumbs-up, then jumped down without hesitation and rushed towards the Wheel of Fortune, determined to complete Huaiyin's mission even if it meant their own disappearance or annihilation.
Huaiyin composed herself, took a few deep breaths, and fled backwards, shouting into her earpiece, "Ringo-neechan! Open the valve, open the valve!! Now!!"
Without hesitation, Ringo Shinzen pressed the button on the control panel, suppressing her worries about Ayane's safety.
The sounds of machines running and pipes banging filled the factory as biogas fermentation raw materials under immense pressure rushed into the pipes like a flood, along with highly concentrated combustible gas.
In just a few seconds, before Huaiyin could even reach the factory entrance, the combustible gas rushed into the pipes before the wastewater could reach it.
Wheely Djou looked at the rumbling pipe not far away with a face full of horror. He finally connected all the clues in his mind and realized that he had fallen into a trap.
His initial joy at killing the Fall Guy clone plummeted to rock bottom, and the ropes binding him seemed frozen solid, preventing him from moving an inch.
"It's over..." The thought flashed through his mind.
"boom!!!!"
A violent explosion rang out from behind her. Before Huaiyin could even think about how large the explosion would be, she felt a huge force pushing her forward. She felt a sharp pain and a crushing sensation in her lungs, her spine cracked, and her back felt like it was on fire.
Fortunately, the flames from the explosion did not directly hit her back. The flames were momentarily blocked by the surrounding tanks storing wastewater. Only the high-temperature explosive gases struck Huaiyin, pushing her out of the factory building, into the air for two or three meters, before she crashed heavily to the ground.
Her body plummeted under immense force, carrying a powerful forward momentum. Huaiyin had no choice but to cover her head with her hands to block the impact. Her petite body rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
