The military vehicle drove steadily forward.

The soldier driving the car remained silent. Wei Yuan and Zhou Yi sat in the back seat, quietly organizing the talismans and the firearm in their waists. This was a firearm specially designed by the military research institution to enhance the power of cultivators. It had a strong recoil, but also had high power, capable of severely injuring or even killing ordinary demons at close range.

There were six bullets.

Wei Yuan was not familiar with this type of gun and had only been taken to try it out in the past half month. His proficiency level was only enough to shoot the bullets out. As for where the bullets would hit, it was up to fate.

Wei Yuan put the gun away, took the sword on his back and placed it horizontally on his knees, and asked, "When do we start?"

Zhou Yi replied, "Tomorrow morning. The area around the Tiger Hill will be completely sealed off, so we need to enter the blockade area in advance and rest there tonight. After all, that mountain is not a true wilderness. The firepower that can be mobilized has its limits. If it were in the wilderness of the testing area, it would be simpler."

"Even if it's an ancient demon king, it would be enough to use the Dongfeng series to load five nuclear warheads and bomb it."

The east wind blows, the flowers fall like rain.

Wei Yuan thought of the scene and said, "So, how are we going to do it this time?"

Zhou Yi took a cigarette and said, "The firepower configuration can only mobilize the dragon-level rockets, with a destruction radius of three hundred meters and enough power within the effective range. However, there is a limit to the number available, and they are expensive. It is also impossible to directly bomb the mountain. The individual cloud burst bombs have a killing range of about fifty meters due to the high temperature and shock waves."

"The air support is the Tomahawk ground-to-ground conventional attack missile, with a limited killing radius but sufficient flexibility."

Wei Yuan asked, "So, support means that someone needs to enter the mountain range?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Yes, after all, demons are not ordinary enemies. Fragmentation damage is limited in its effectiveness against them, and we don't even know what level of power it can exert in the mountain. And since it is the Tiger King Mountain God, there must be a temple dedicated to it on the mountain, where we need to focus the missiles and firepower to attack and destroy the temple. This will greatly reduce the power of the mountain god and even backlash and affect its own cultivation."

"After that, it's the second stage of the operation, where the heavily injured Tiger King will be killed."

"We can't let it escape and hide in the mountains."

"If a mountain god insists on hiding, it will be difficult for us to find it. This is also why we need someone to enter the mountain. If the operation fails, we must mobilize high-spec weapons, which will inevitably have an impact on the surrounding cities."

Wei Yuan closed his eyes and said, "I understand."

"Besides me, who else is going up the mountain this time?"

"Me, members of the special operations team, and the special operations team of the Divine Machine Camp."

There was a period of silence.

The vehicle slowly turned.

Wei Yuan suddenly asked, "How is the situation with Zhang Yue?"

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly and said, "That food blogger?"

"Xuan Yi and several members of the operation team are watching him around the clock. They have also rented the house opposite, but as you know, the Heavenly Master's Mansion and my Wei Ming Sect's talismans cannot detect anything unusual, and the demon detection device has no response. According to the regulations, we can only keep an eye on him and cannot take further action."

This was to prevent the operation team from having too much authority and using restrictive clauses to imprison innocent civilians. Otherwise, as long as there is a possibility of hidden demons, they can use the excuse to take people away, and the authority will expand sooner or later, causing harm.

Wei Yuan closed his eyes and made a sound of agreement.....................

The Tiger Lord in the mountains was originally an enemy that the Sili Xiaowei needed to repress and seal.

Moreover, there were also reinforcements and companions, so Wei Yuan did not feel resentful about venturing into dangerous territory.

However, he couldn't sleep well in the tent that night.

The appearance of Tian Shi's youngest daughter, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, and Dong Yu's final words flashed through his dream.

He finally saw the man in white clothes holding an umbrella.

The next day, in the morning.

Wei Yuan stretched lazily, finished breakfast, and his long sword was already prepared on his back. Two military off-road vehicles with a strong and powerful appearance were parked beside him, each carrying three single soldier rockets. One vehicle was the elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp, and the other was the Special Operations Group, former members of the Jinyiwei.

Zhou Yi opened the car door and said, "Wei Yuan, get in."

The woman had sharp short hair, combat gear, and was armed.

If she wasn't still carrying talismans, Wei Yuan would almost forget that she was an elite disciple of the Daoist sect.

As soon as Wei Yuan lifted his sword, three Taoists from the Heavenly Master's Mansion stepped forward. One used the Breaking Evil and Exterminating Demons talisman, one used the Six Ding Six Jia protecting talisman, and one used the Cloud Generating Spell under his feet. The effects of many talismans could be stacked without affecting each other. Wei Yuan only felt as if he was covered in layers of invisible treasure light.

He walked lightly and breathed deeply.

He was also wearing a special combat suit for demon-slaying.

It was all black, protected vital areas, could greatly defend against hacking and piercing damage, resist the invasion of demon and ghost powers, and had built-in talismans that could avoid most of the negative effects of the ghost realm. It also had a built-in injector that could inject medicine into the body when it detected a decrease in vital signs, restoring consumed mana, and containing adrenaline to stimulate mental stimulation.

Wei Yuan could only sigh that the government was really different.

They were rich and had a deep foundation.

These things had a huge impact on demon-slaying, and were not advantages that a lone ranger could possess.

Several Taoists bowed to him.

The surrounding soldiers held their guns tightly and stood straight.

Wei Yuan held his sword and got into the car.

Zhou Yi silently handed him a Bluetooth headset, and Wei Yuan put on the headset to communicate internally.

The two armored military vehicles set off from the camp and headed towards the Sleeping Tiger Mountain. They could only reach a part of it, and the road ahead was even narrower and more rugged. Even this kind of off-road vehicle was powerless. Everyone got out of the car and set off, holding guns in their hands. Wei Yuan thought for a moment, then walked forward slowly with his sword.

After walking for a while, fog gradually rose in the mountains.

On the mountain road, the fog was pervasive, and there was a possibility of falling off the mountain cliff if one was not careful. In ancient times, countless people went up the mountain in the fog and never returned. However, these special soldiers carried devices similar to night vision goggles, and the fog could not affect them.

Wei Yuan raised his fingers and brushed them in front of his eyes.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the thick fog turning a dark gray.

It was demon fog.

The scenery on the mountain was not what the naked eye saw. There was lush vegetation and forests that looked deep and lush, but there were only strange rocks and bones lying among them, plus the gray-black fog, which looked eerie and terrifying.

As they walked up, after turning a mountain road, their sight suddenly opened up.

Everyone's footsteps unconsciously slowed down.

The mountain road under their feet turned into a well-maintained stone road.The white mist ahead slowly moved, and among the mountain peaks in the clouds, there were many pavilions, towers, lotus ponds, and flowerbeds. It didn't seem like an ordinary creation, and there was a faint sense of etherealness. Under a pavilion, a man in white clothes sat quietly playing the zither. The sound of the zither was leisurely and composed, showing great confidence.

Click, click.

In an instant, several guns were aimed at the man in white.

At this moment, in the rear.

The events happening in the mountain range were captured by a miniature camera and transmitted back.

"Report, the action team has made contact with the target."

"The other party... has no cover at all."

The officer of the Divine Machine Camp in the camp frowned and said:

"...It seems that it doesn't consider us as equal opponents at all."

PS: The author only roughly checked the power and effective killing radius of modern weapons, which may not be rigorous. Just read and understand the meaning, after all, it's an upgraded version of the Ming Dynasty in a different world, so just assume that this kind of model exists in that world~
