Black Mountain.
This mountain was completely black and there were few trees. There were many strange rocks that formed many terrifying shapes.
In fact, this was originally the holy land of the County of Hastings. The first Count Hastings was a pioneer knight of a western country. After the destruction of the first empire of the Yan Han, he entered this place and expanded his territory, establishing a country.
The western countries were mostly natives of this world. There were many small countries and there were also large countries that could confront the Yan Han Empire in the past. It was said that their customs were different from the Yan Han and their races were also different.
Su Daozhi was not too clear about this.
He did not even know what kind of strange and dazzling appearance the western world outside of his territory looked like.
Because between the east and west, not only was the road long, there was also a terrifying barrier, the black fog!
The terrifying black fog seemed to be a special product of this world and was said to be the product of the destruction of the first empire of the Yan Han. It covered the borders of the Second Empire and was very hard to purify, causing the borders of the Yan Han to be fragmented.
Sometimes, from the black fog, there would even be all kinds of dangerous and disgusting monsters.
There were many of these monsters and after a period of time, there would even be a 'demon wave'!
The reason why the County of Hastings was destroyed was because it was too far from the western countries and too close to the Second Empire. This was only one of the reasons.
The other reason was that they were too close to the black fog and were continuously attacked by the monsters, causing their cultivators and soldiers to be exhausted!
Chung Shen-soo looked at the black mountain in the distance. His mind kept recalling some information and he couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
"Woof!"
On the side, the War Hounds Huang Xie stuck out his tongue, "There is no unfamiliar aura nearby, we can rest here … … Pay attention to not getting close to the crack in the canyon. It is said that the place where the previous Count sacrificed to the demons, there is still evil and terror remaining … …"
When this was mentioned, it was like a valve had been opened in Chung Shen-soo's mind.
He clutched his forehead, and a memory surfaced.
The two moons in the sky turned a scarlet red colour and in front of him was a pitch black canyon.
The young man's arm trembled as he climbed up the cliff.
Thick darkness surged out from the crack that seemed to lead to the ground. There seemed to be something inside that was stirring.
"Hehe … Is that where you came from?"
Chung Shen-soo patted his chest and muttered to himself.
The reason why the County of Hastings was able to survive for such a long time was because of the evil spirits in Black Mountain.
It was said that in order to obtain power and longevity, the first Count Hastings had signed a contract with some strange existence. Even his own form had changed.
That strange existence … was called a demon!
The 'demons' here were not the messy jokers in Chung Shen-soo's memories. They were existences that were even more terrifying and evil!
In other words, they could be seen as gods that existed in a higher dimension!
'But in fact, it's understandable … After all, in our Eastern lineage, once a ghost accumulates enough merit, can't it become a god? Why are you discriminating against the demons and vengeful spirits of the West? "
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself, 'Just a little bit … more powerful …'
Until now, he still did not know what the existence in his body was.
'In this world, there will be a double full moon every fifteen days. The duration of the blood moon is not fixed. It can vary from three months to a year … These are all times when it will go crazy. I might not be able to survive it. Moreover, even if it is a daily occurrence … it will gradually corrode this body and continuously consume my vitality …'
Chung Shen-soo looked at his palm. It seemed to be an illusion. His skin seemed to be a little paler than yesterday. It seemed to be losing its warmth bit by bit, becoming cold and stiff …
He knew that he was gradually dying …
Not only that, the thing in his body was also constantly affecting his mind.
Gradually becoming cold-blooded and cruel was already the slightest symptom.
Chung Shen-soo would not be too surprised even if he turned into a homicidal maniac in the next moment … That would be weird!
'What kind of opening is this?'
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself. 'This is forcing me to show off!'
Compared to this kind of crisis, being hated by the Head of Guards, 'Tian Bufen', was completely child's play.
'It's time to show off real skills.'
Chung Shen-soo sat quietly and began to eat the dry food that he carried with him.
The Black Mountain Fort provided them with a special 'grain brick'. It was made of all kinds of steamed crop powder under high pressure. It was said that one brick could kill a mountain tiger, and even the hardest teeth could be broken.
Even if it was boiled with boiling water, the paste still had an unbearable gritty texture.
However, Chung Shen-soo did not care about this. He was thinking about how he should show off.
According to the experience of the previous world, Tenxiu Point was not that easy to obtain.
First, he had to show it well. That was the prerequisite.
Next, he had to do it in an environment where there were many people watching. The more the better.
It seemed that the more 'people' there were, the better the feedback.
Otherwise, he was not a pretentious maniac in his previous life. Why did he have to meddle in everything and play the show of divinity in front of the people?
Even so, he might not be able to obtain any Tenxiu Point after a big show. Fortunately, he could continue to accumulate it.
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while and secretly smacked the funny spinning top system.
Rows of data that only he could see appeared.
[Hundred Refined Martial Arts: Level 5]
[Guqin: Level 3]
[Chess: Level 3]
[Calligraphy: Level 4]
[Xiantian Qigong: Uninitiated]
[Mystic Yin Soul Control Fragment: Uninitiated]
[Tenxiu Point: 0 (0%)]
…
'Martial arts and acrobatics are the accumulation of my previous world … But the martial arts of the previous world may not be very strong in this world … I didn't expect the Xiantian Qigong I created to be still here. As long as I have a Tenxiu Point, I can improve … This world can even cultivate, so it must be able to accommodate Xiantian Qigong …
'It's a pity that Tenxiu Point is hard to come by. Some skills need more than one Tenxiu Point in the later stages …
'Based on my experience, an outstanding face-slapping performance can get me a Tenxiu Point. But it's very difficult. Most of the time, I can only get 20% to 70% …
'This is terrible. I finally put down my pride and prepared to show off, but the reward is so little …'
Zhong Shenxiu's face was full of resentment as he cursed in his heart.
Huang Xie had already finished eating his food. He came over and said, "Su, my contract is over. I will be leaving the Black Mountain Fort in a few days … Captain Zu is targeting you. You have to take care …"
"Tian Bufen? Don't worry … "
Chung Shen-soo shook his head.
Patrolling the Black Mountain was not an easy job. It was very easy to run into evil. He was sent here again and again to deal with it.
The world was like this. You could run into evil at any time.
