At this moment, space and time seemed to be frozen. Lu Ming felt that he had even lost his sense of time. The only thing he could feel was that his heart was beating rapidly under the influence of a huge amount of adrenaline.

Boom, boom, boom, the sound was like a drum, as if it was about to jump out of the chest.

At this moment, even those elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles, experienced countless blood and fires, and been with countless corpses and wreckage, could not help but feel a little nervous.

Corpses, gunfire, death, blood, no matter how terrifying or cruel, they are all known things.

The known cannot scare them. Even putting a gun to his head is of no use.

But now, facing the possibility of a "mountain god" that is completely unknown, their rock-solid hearts will be a little shaken.

This is human biological instinct and cannot be avoided.

Outside the cave, the combat team was on full alert and the artillery positions were closely monitoring the place. Every soldier also concentrated his energy to the limit.

They don't know what event they are participating in this time, nor do they know what kind of enemy they will face. But from the solemn arrangements made by their superiors and the clues about the incident, they could still clearly sense the weirdness and seriousness of this incident.

At this moment, they were even prepared for a monster to suddenly rush out and roar to the sky.

However, even if they are monsters, they must taste the power of human artillery fire, and even if they are monsters, they must be blown into pieces!

At this moment, I don’t know how many people are paying close attention to this place.

Time seemed to pass by for a second and then by an hour. Lu Ming gradually felt that his consciousness and perception returned to his body.

He was in control of his body again.

So he used great perseverance to control his eyeballs and glanced gently in the direction of the mountain god. Then he saw that the mountain god statue was still silent and did not move at all.

"Maybe it hasn't started yet."

he thought.

So he continued to wait.

This time, he started using his own heartbeat as a counting tool. He knew that his heart was beating very fast at this moment, so he only counted one second for every two beats of his heart.

Until he counted 30 times and the situation still didn't change at all, he felt something was wrong.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Zhang Dingshan and He Wei. Even through the goggles, he could detect a hint of doubt in He Wei's eyes.

Back then, in those ancient times, that poor boy came here. People from the Tang family have been here. Early members of Organization X may also have been here. They faced the mountain god, offered their sacrifices, and got what they wanted.

But now, we also offered Lu Ming as a sacrifice, but the mountain god didn't respond at all.

What did I do wrong?

But still no one took action at this moment. Several capable warriors are still on full alert.

Lu Ming felt that the beating speed of his heart was slowly returning to a steady pace from the previous madness.

The most stressful time seems to be over.

In this case, another minute passed.

Still nothing unusual happened.

An idea arose in his mind.

Maybe... nothing abnormal will happen?

With this thought, he waited for another two or three minutes.

Zhang Dingshan slowly raised his hand. He opened his arms and slowly lowered them, so the tense atmosphere in the small room slowly eased a little.

"Get up, Lu Ming, maybe the mountain god won't come out."

He Wei took a step forward and pulled Lu Ming up. Several elite soldiers still aimed their guns at the mountain god statue, but the muscles on their bodies were no longer as tight as before.

"Yes, what went wrong?"

Zhang Dingshan frowned and said nothing.

He Wei said in a deep voice: "Anyway, let's get out of here first."

"leave?"

Lu Ming was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps there are too many of us, which scared it. It's also possible that the sacrifice requires certain rituals, and we were not prepared."

Lu Ming wanted to try again.

Zhang Dingshan said: "What do you think?"

Lu Ming had roughly regained his composure at this moment.

"I want to speak to Huang Weimin!

If offering sacrifices to the mountain god requires certain rituals in addition to sacrifices, the poor boy and the Tang family recorded in the ancient books must have 'summoned' the mountain god after using this ritual.

According to common sense, when they face the mountain god for the first time, they are unlikely to create a new ritual, but will use the common rituals used to worship the gods in the past. This kind of universal ritual most likely belongs to the category of folk customs, and there will be relevant records.

Let Huang Weimin find all the common rituals and try them one by one here! "

Lu Ming's words were resounding.

He had made so many preparations and made such a difficult psychological construction, but now he had achieved nothing. Lu Ming could not accept this outcome.

We must lure the mountain god out now! If it cannot be elicited this time, I don’t know whether it will be able to get such strong support from the official level next time.

However, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the Mountain God and Organization X by yourself.

Zhang Dingshan agreed to Lu Ming's proposal.

So, after waiting for about a few hours, Huang Weimin was allowed to come here.

He brought many, many things.

Fresh fruits, ingots, paper money, incense candles, pig heads, pork, mutton, beef, etc.

Facing such a battle, even if Huang Weimin was just an ordinary person, even if most of the truth was still kept secret from him, he still noticed some strange and solemn aura.

But he still adhered to the principle of not asking when he shouldn't ask, and not being curious when he shouldn't be curious.

He would do whatever Zhang Dingshan told him to do. Other than that, don't care.

So, in the small cave room, candles were lit, tributes were placed, and paper money and paper ingots were burned. Lu Ming was once again lying on the altar, while Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and several elite soldiers were once again on full alert.

Amidst the flames jumping, only Huang Weimin's slightly dry and depressed voice echoed in the small room.

"Mountain God, please show your spirit quickly..."

"Amitabha……"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord..."

"Emergency is like a law..."

Various traditional sacrificial rituals took turns, and Huang Weimin was busy for more than two hours before he tried out all the rituals recorded in ancient books and the rituals he knew. However, the mountain god statue is still just a statue, without any change.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth again.

"Maybe there are too many people! Let all the soldiers withdraw. Only me and Teacher Huang Weimin will be left here!"

Huang Weimin's face trembled.

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "Let Teacher Huang leave. I'm here with you."

He turned around and signaled, and several elite soldiers filed out and left. Huang Weimin also smiled with difficulty, made an apology gesture, and then left.

He Wei did not leave.

"I'll stay, captain, you go."

Zhang Dingshan thought for a while, without any pretense, and nodded directly: "Okay."

He Wei's force is stronger than hers. She is the most suitable person to stay here to protect Lu Ming.

"Do you still remember the ceremony?"

"Remember."

Zhang Dingshan also left. Lu Ming and He Wei were the only two people left in the small room.

He Wei walked over and stood in front of Huang Weimin. Following Huang Weimin's example, he knelt down in front of the mountain god statue with some reluctance.

In folk customs, no matter what kind of ritual it is to worship gods, no matter which god it is, whether it is the mountain god, the earth god, or the Jade Emperor, kneeling down and worshiping is indispensable. He Wei was very reluctant, but had to kneel down.

She followed Huang Weimin's example, lit the incense candle, threw the paper money and other things into the fire, and began to mutter something.

The lights had already been turned off at this moment, and the burning flames cast a huge shadow on He Wei. Along with He Wei's movements, the shadow continued to sway.

The dim flames shone, and in the silence, the slightly strange mountain god statue continued to alternate between light and dark, as if some strange changes were taking place.

This made Lu Ming's heart gradually lift again.

He Wei also noticed this change in the atmosphere. She was still performing the ritual, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the firearm placed next to her.

The firearm was to her right. With her reaction speed, it didn't even take a second for her to pick up the gun, aim and shoot.

But... nothing unusual happened until she threw the last piece of paper money into the fire and burned it.

Lu Ming waited for a moment, and finally sat up in silence.

He turned his head and looked at the mountain god statue.

A sudden anger welled up in his heart.

"Cao Ni Ma! Come out! Aren't you awesome? Why are you so dumb? Come out! You idiot! Cao Ni Ma! Get out of here! Cao Ni Ma!"

Lu Ming jumped to his feet and cursed. In his excitement, he suddenly kicked the statue.

The statue of the mountain god integrated with the mountain rock did not move at all, but he was shaken back a few steps by the force of the earthquake and almost fell down.

He Wei patted his shoulder.

"Let's go, Lu Ming."

Everything that could be tried has been tried. If even this cannot lure the mountain god out, then it can only prove that either the methods we have taken are wrong, or...

There is no mountain god at all.

Everything is just rumors and legends in ancient books, everything is just a "story", just some "idiosyncrasies" of the ancients. The intersection with reality is just a coincidence.

Perhaps, attempts to find traces of Organization X from ancient book records and historical events are just whimsical.

Lu Ming's mood was extremely low.

He knew that with the complete failure of this another attempt, it might be inevitable that the kidnapping case of Organization X would be listed as an unsolved case.
