The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 119

"The director has chosen this little villa as the accommodation for tonight. It's appropriate. Stay here and don't wander around before I return, little brother."

Chi Qingning shuddered violently, his face full of terror as he nodded urgently. "I understand. I won't wander around!"

Since his second brother had said it like this, it must be for an important reason.

Afterward, he would go find Director Hu and tell him that it would be best if the rest of the crew didn't wander around either!

Chi Qingzhou smiled at him again. "That's best."

He retracted his gaze, closed the door, and left without looking back.

At dusk, during the witching hour.

The sun sank low, its final rays setting the fiery clouds ablaze with vivid hues.

Chi Qingzhou climbed over the high wall surrounding the villa and headed straight for the gathering spot of the death energy.

In order to move faster, he didn't take the paved roads but instead cut through a shortcut, entering the more primitive forests of Yuexi Ridge.

The vegetation here was lush, and many of the trees were exceptionally tall. Fallen leaves from years of decay covered the ground, making the ground feel surprisingly soft, even giving the illusion that one might sink in.

Chi Qingzhou relied on his core strength, moving across the ground when he could, and when the ground became difficult to navigate, he would climb up the trees in a few swift movements, using the sturdy trunks to increase his speed.

Using this method, he reached the junction of Yuexi Ridge and Jingming Mountain in less than ten minutes.

The sun had nearly set, and the light had grown dim.

In front of him, the trees' branches were intertwined, swaying in the wind like claws, exuding an eerie, ominous vibe.

Unlike Yuexi Ridge, which still had a few resorts, Jingming Mountain remained completely undeveloped, with its interior even referred to as a "life restriction zone."

Jingming Mountain wasn't so much a single mountain as it was an entire mountain range, though people simply referred to the peak by the name of the mountain.

When Chi Qingzhou went to the Great Tomb of Jingming Mountain with his archaeology team during his third year of university, they didn't head for the peak but rather the outer areas.

Even with three guides hired to monitor the team, they still encountered several dangers along the way.

After the sun set, the forest of Jingming Mountain became even harder to navigate.

In addition to the dangerous natural environment lurking, the violent death energy and miasma covered every corner of the forest, constantly affecting the minds of travelers and even the animals in the woods.

Chi Qingzhou didn't want to waste time, and more importantly, he didn't want to run into trouble before reaching his destination. So, he simply jumped from tree to tree the whole way.

Affected by the thick death energy, his livestream quietly turned on without him realizing.

Some curious viewers clicked in, only to be immediately dizzy from the dim lighting and the intense shaking of the screen.

[What's going on here?]

[The person swinging on the trees looks like Actor Chi?]

[Which Actor Chi? CQZ?]

[Whoa, he's going up the tree! His core strength is amazing, his body just flips and lands on it!]

[Is this some kind of parkour challenge?]

The viewers were confused, but the director knew exactly what was happening.

He clutched his chest, trembling, and stretched out a hand. Through a connection with the Paranormal Bureau, he had the tech guy change the title of Chi Qingzhou's livestream.

The viewers watched as the title of the livestream changed from [Chi Qingzhou's Personal Livestream] to [Special Segment in Progress, Dangerous Actions, Please Do Not Imitate], and they were immediately speechless.

[Do we really need to be told not to imitate? Does the program think so highly of us?]

[Thanks, not everyone has Actor Chi's physical strength.]

[This is a bit shocking, is the camera crew following him in parkour too?]

[Doesn't seem like it, if it were the camera crew, the footage would be shaking, but this is way too smooth. Looks like it's a drone.]

[The camera's rising! Hey, there seems to be someone in the distance?]

[This forest looks so primitive, how could there be people?]

[I zoomed in and looked at the screenshot. The clothes these two are wearing look a bit strange. Are they staff arranged by the program?]

No one answered them.

But what they could see, Chi Qingzhou, with his sharper senses, could definitely see as well.

He stopped, observing from a distance with the faint light. At the foot of the mountain, he saw two people—

The one with his back to him was dressed in a black long robe, with a vintage dark blue short cloak over it. In his left hand, he was holding a ritual bell, and in his right, a peach wood sword, dodging the attacks of the person opposite him with some difficulty.

This person was his friend, Luo Ting.

The one fighting with Luo Ting was wearing ordinary clothes, a shirt and casual pants. In the moonlight, his eyes were pitch black, with no whites visible, just dark pupils.

His movements were stiff and slow, and his arms, shoulders, and back, which were hit by Luo Ting's peach wood sword, emitted faint white mist from the corrosion of the magic power.

The pain made him constantly growl, and it also stirred his viciousness.

His movements became bigger and more reckless, filled with a desperate, all-or-nothing energy. His claws, stained with corpse poison, shot out, each strike aimed directly at Luo Ting's vital points.

This death-for-death fighting style made Luo Ting exhausted and unable to gain the upper hand. For a moment, neither of them could do anything to the other. The power leaking from the tomb stirred even more violently.

Chi Qingzhou quickly identified the creature, "It's a corpse walker, full of resentment."

So, this was Luo Huaiyu?

Why was he fighting with Ah Ting?

Xing Shuangzhan stepped out from the shadows, his hand hovering protectively over Chi Qingzhou. He glanced at the two who were locked in combat but showed no interest.

Chi Qingzhou, however, was very concerned.

"The power leaking from the tomb is too strong, we can't let them keep fighting like this."

Before he finished speaking, he leapt from the tree crown, several dozen meters high!
