The Fulai Inn was one of the few buildings with two floors in the town.
In the biggest room in the inn, Lin Huang and the rest gathered.
"Now, we can basically confirm that there are a lot of humans and monsters in this foggy area. There are two types of human gathering places. One of them is the town that we're in now, where the security is weak. The other type is the capital city, which is the safest place. It's similar to the human footholds in our world, but the classification isn't as detailed. "
"There are many cities and towns, and the security mainly depends on the government officers. These officers are called warriors, and their aura is basically below holy fire-level. Those who are more powerful than warriors are called immortals. To the ordinary people, only immortals can fly. Therefore, I'm guessing that the so-called immortals are cultivators above holy fire-level. However, their cultivation system might be different from ours. "
"There are only 21 capital cities. They're surrounded by high walls and are protected by immortals. To stay in a capital city, you'll have to pay a high price in exchange for protection. Therefore, most of the people who don't have what it takes to stay in the town. Although the town will be attacked by monsters, it's much safer than living in the wild. "
"The monsters that they're talking about are the monsters in our world. These monsters are scattered all over the place. There are many of them, and most of them feed on humans and other animals. A minority of them don't feed on humans, and they're not friendly to humans either. They'll hunt and kill humans for fun.
"These monsters gather in groups. Many of them are of different species, but the most powerful monster is the leader. Some of the monster leaders can even speak human language. These monsters usually gather near human towns so that it's convenient for them to hunt. Apart from that, there's also a leader called the Demon King who rules over the area where there are more monsters. "
"According to the government's description, the Demon King's ability is quite powerful. Some of them can even kill immortals. I'm guessing that the Demon King's ability is much more powerful than the ordinary leaders. They should be on immortal-level. However, we don't know if there's a monster that's more powerful than the Demon King. "
Tan Lang summarized all the information he had gathered. Most of it was what he had inquired about from the government.
After leaving Xiao Yu's house earlier, Lin Huang and the rest went straight to the government. When the official saw that all ten of them could fly, he told them almost everything he knew and answered every question he asked quickly. The information he obtained from him was far more detailed and clear than what the auntie had said before.
"Perhaps only those 'Immortals' would know more detailed information. I think we should head to the capital city directly to find out more about the situation from those immortals, "Li Jia suggested.
"Entry and exit of the capital is prohibited at midnight. The officer said that monsters that can fly are unable to enter the city. This means that there should be a restriction on the city walls. We can only wait for the city gates to open tomorrow morning before rushing over. Everyone should have a good rest tonight. "Tan Lang had already made arrangements.
"I think that before we leave, we should clear up the nearby demons," Lin Huang suddenly said.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the others became a little strange.
Lin Huang could roughly guess what everyone was thinking. After all, the people in this world were different from the real world. They did not have the obligation to protect others, so they were not willing to waste the effort.
"I'll make a trip. You guys rest well."
"I'll go with you." Seeing that the rest did not respond, Shen Tao patted his pants and stood up.
"There's no need for that. I'll go by myself. I'll be back in a few minutes," Lin Huang rejected Shen Tao's kindness.
He could feel that Shen Tao was actually unwilling to get involved in such things. He only took the initiative to go with him because he did not want him to feel awkward alone.
Lin Huang flew into the sky as he walked out of the inn and headed to Black Dragon Mountain.
Watching Lin Huang disappear into the sky, Li Jia shook his head and said while smiling, "Young people just can't stay idle."
"You look younger than him," Shen Tao teased.
"I'm already 28. I'm already an uncle at 28, alright?" Li Jia wanted to look serious, but his baby face was not convincing at all.
"You look like you're constipated. You don't even look 18." What Shen Tao said made everyone laugh.
Black Dragon Mountain was less than 300 miles away from the town. It only took Lin Huang a moment to arrive above the mountain range.
The entire mountain range was undulating. It was hundreds of miles long and it was filled with dense, green trees.
"Bloody, release the Leech Pods and check out what's going on in this world. Also, find out where the monsters are hiding."
Lin Huang had been getting Bloody to lie low when he was with Tan Lang and the rest earlier. To prevent it from being discovered, he did not get it to release the Leech Pods to check out the situation.
Although it was difficult to discover the Leech Pods under normal circumstances, it was still possible to be discovered if they were too close. After all, Tan Lang's ability was considered one of the best among immortal-levels. Moreover, as a Bug Master, Li Jia's spiritual strength was much more powerful than ordinary people.
Although they were all members of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Huang did not want them to see through Bloody's trump card. Therefore, he found an excuse to avoid them and got Bloody to release the Leech Pods. Hunting the monsters here was just something he did along the way.
As soon as the Leech Pods were released, Bloody found the monsters.
"I found them!"
Bloody projected the monsters' image directly.
Lin Huang raised his brow slightly. "I thought it was a dragonkin or a sky dragon. So, it's a giant boa …"
Lin Huang remembered Xiao Yu's aunt saying that the monster on the Black Dragon Mountain was a one-eyed black dragon. However, there was only a gigantic, black, one-eyed, giant boa in the image that Bloody projected.
The boa was hundreds of meters long with black scales all over its body. It only had one green eye. Half of its body was hidden in the swamp, and it looked rather terrifying.
"Its combat strength is about the purple flame-level of holy fire-level. Judging from the intensity of its aura, it should be a double mutated," Bloody revealed its observation.
"Let's use the Leech Pods to see if there's any useful information in its head."
It was too easy for Bloody, who was on immortal-level rank-9, to use the Leech Pods on a holy fire-level monster like this.
The Leech Pods penetrated its body easily without it noticing. They engulfed its consciousness in the blink of an eye and replaced it.
It took Bloody less than three seconds to retrieve all the information in its head.
"This monster is called the Black Water Boa. There's a Demon King behind it called the Seductive Spider Lady. It's a monster that can transform into a female human. The Black Water Boa was ordered to guard the Black Dragon Mountain. It has to deliver 100 humans to the Black Water Boa as its food every month. The Seductive Spider Lady has a total of 16 leaders under her command. Each of them is guarding a place. Their abilities are similar to the Black Water Boa's … "
"It seems like the Seductive Spider Lady should be on immortal-level if I'm not mistaken. It's possible that it's a triple mutated monster since it can transform into a human. "Lin Huang nodded lightly and asked immediately," Do you have any information about the Demon King? "
"No. In the Black Water Boa's memory, the most powerful person it has seen is the Seductive Spider Lady. There are images of the Seductive Spider Lady fighting with the human powerhouses in this world in its memory. Looking at the images, the Seductive Spider Lady should be on mid-level immortal-level. The human powerhouses that it fought had similar abilities. "
"So, there are immortal-level powerhouses among the 'immortals'." Lin Huang could only confirm that there were immortal-level powerhouses in this world, but he was still unsure if the upper limit of the combat strength in this world was only immortal-level rank-9 or if there were imperial-level powerhouses.
"This monster doesn't know much about human cultivators. It's killed a few human 'immortals', but they weren't powerful," Bloody proceeded to say.
"What about the immortals' relics? Did it keep any of them? " Lin Huang asked, not because he thought that the 'immortals' had anything valuable on them. He just wanted to know more about the human cultivators from the relics.
"It kept all of them. They're hidden in its stomach." Bloody nodded. "I'll control it to come here now."
A moment later, the black boa came at lightning speed. It spat out everything in its stomach as soon as it stopped in front of Lin Huang.
Apart from a few weapons and armors, Lin Huang saw a couple of rings.
Using telekinesis threads, Lin Huang picked up the four rings in his hand. He then took a closer look at them.
"This should be a storage space ring. The craftsmanship is completely different from an Emperor's Heart Ring." Lin Huang tried inserting his Life Power into the ring, but there was no response. Instead, he used his Divine Telekinesis to look at it. The ring was activated immediately and he looked into the space inside the ring directly.
"I see. It needs to be activated with spiritual power." It was a pleasant surprise to Lin Huang.
Unlike an Emperor's Heart Ring, these storage rings did not lock themselves after the owner died. Instead, they became ownerless. As long as spiritual power was inserted, the ring would be activated again. The items inside could be looked at and taken out at will.
Soon, a gray crystal the size of a thumb appeared in Lin Huang's hand. It was the most common item in the four storage rings.
"There's a large amount of active energy, but it's completely different from Life Power." Lin Huang took a closer look with his Divine Telekinesis. "All the crystals are the same. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a currency similar to a Life Crystal. It might even be a special currency used by the 'immortals'. Looking at the active energy in the currency, the cultivation system of the 'immortals' here should be completely different from ours. "
After searching through the storage rings, apart from the gray crystal, Lin Huang found many small bottles with pills of different colors in them. There were also many metallic and non-metallic materials and a small amount of herbs.
Finally, a few crystal clear jade slips caught Lin Huang's attention.
"Are they decorations?" Lin Huang was puzzled as he took out a jade slip. "They don't even have holes. How do I carry them around?"
Lin Huang could not help but use his Divine Telekinesis to check if he had missed out on any details. However, as soon as his Divine Telekinesis touched the jade slip, a large amount of information gushed into Lin Huang's head.
"Ice Heart Technique?"
