Since they had already confirmed that this Moonlight City was equivalent to a mountaineering stronghold, the following matters would be much easier to handle.
After asking around, he could not get any useful information.
There was no information about the mountain climbing at all, because … any monster that failed to climb the mountain and returned to the foot of the mountain had forgotten most of the experience.
It was the same.
No matter how many times a mountain climber climbed, they could not accumulate the relevant experience.
As for the monsters that successfully reached the 'high ground' and gained a certain amount of rewards, they all left Moonlight City. They were unwilling to climb the mountain a second time, nor were they willing to talk about anything related to it.
"Mr. Han, do we need to buy some mountain climbing supplies?"
"No need, these things are not very useful. Something that can stop a big monster from climbing the mountain is naturally not ordinary … We only need to bring one thing — a 'corpse'.
Don't be too conspicuous when collecting the corpses. We will meet here in an hour. "
"Yes."
Corpses were necessary.
Animal blood and corpse oil were two types of food for zombies. The latter was more effective and could replenish the zombies' energy and even heal their injuries.
After a series of tests, the corpse oil extracted from monster corpses was also very valuable.
Han Dong was not at all interested in this chaotic and unruly structure of the demon city … He did not have any intention of strolling around. Therefore, when they parted ways, he secretly found a person in the group and used this time to have a good chat.
"Miss Chen, do you have time?"
"Yes."
Ever since the [Corpse Gu] in Chen Xinying's head was removed, she had become a person of few words.
The two of them came to an empty alley.
Smack!
Han Dong straightened his arm and directly pressed her against the wall … giving her a sense of oppression.
"If my plan can be carried out smoothly, I should have enough bargaining chips to exchange for freedom from the Corpse Country's ruler and let us safely return to the Black Tower."
"Yes … I believe you." Chen Xinying said very calmly.
"Then, Miss Chen, can you tell me your [Essence]?
I'll be frank with you. I'm in charge of everything now. To a certain extent, I still don't trust you … Compared to the natives who are easy to 'enslave', Miss Chen is a huge variable to me. "
"Do you really want to see it?"
"Yes, please let me see it."
Although this conversation sounded strange, it was necessary for Han Dong to do so.
Pa!
A talisman was stuck on his forehead.
Chen Xinying's eyes immediately became dim and lifeless.
A strange substance appeared on the surface of his body and slowly separated from it.
One after another, the threads connected to his body were slowly snapped, and they appeared incomparably sticky … This kind of 'stickiness' made Han Dong somewhat concerned.
Perhaps it was because Chen Xinying had been using this body for many years, and her main body had taken root in it.
It could also be a sign of strong attachment. Once Chen Xinying was attached to a body, it would be difficult to separate from it.
Slowly.
Chen Xinying's body was separated from her body, which corresponded to a grayish-black substance in the form of a Hou.
It looked like a spiritual form, but it also looked like a physical form. Its body also seemed to be affected by electromagnetic interference, and some parts of its body would emit irregular vibrations. Overall, it looked very much like the conventional concept of a [Ghost].
There was only one oral structure on the face.
His voice was like radio waves, intermittently transmitting into Han Dong's mind.
"If … if we use the … language here, then …
I am a lifeform known as Ulthane. We... are a type of surreal individual. We can freely switch between corporeal and incorporeal.
I'll tell you my real name when we return to the Black Tower. "
As he spoke.
Chen Xinying's palm made of dust particles reached out toward Han Dong.
There was an obvious touch of the palm on his chest, but the palm easily penetrated his body like spiritual particles.
When he was fighting with the Ministry of War's pursuers, he used this method to take away the [Heart].
However … there was still a problem.
But Han Dong didn't continue to ask. He indicated that he had obtained a satisfactory answer and apologized at the same time.
"I'm really sorry.
After all, this is an out-of-control world that the Black Tower can't manage. I have to understand the essence of my teammates. "
Chen Xinying's main body also slowly attached back to her body like dust, returning to her usual state. She said softly, "I understand … By the way, what is Mr. Han's essence?"
"Me? I'm the same as the zombie of the Corpse Nation when he was alive. I'm a basic life form that exists in all kinds of worlds — humans. "
Chen Xinying glanced at Han Dong suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions.
Han Dong revealed a cheerful smile and pointed in the direction of the street. "Let's hurry up and find some corpses. I hope this trip to Mount Moon Goddess will be fruitful."
…
An hour passed.
When everyone gathered, they were dragging linen bags of various sizes in their hands.
If such a situation happened in the Corpse Nation, the Ministry of Justice would definitely come knocking on their door.
But in the Demon Realm, it was an extremely normal thing.
"Let's go."
In the initial stage of the mountain, they encountered many demons who were also trying to climb the mountain. Most of them weren't here for the "strange items" on Mount Moon Goddess. They were pursuing a kind of fortuitous encounter.
They hoped to find a cave carved with inscriptions at a high place. After a night of enlightenment, they could turn into a great demon.
Without any experience to impart, it was too difficult to break through on one's own.
In the beginning, they didn't feel much. It was just like their normal journey … When they arrived at the first white forest area, abnormalities began to appear.
Many low-level demons, no matter how well prepared they were.
When they stepped into the forest, their pupils immediately turned white.
Like walking corpses, they walked in the opposite direction, which was the foot of the mountain.
Han Dong, on the other hand, smiled and picked a white flower from the ground. For a moment, white spots appeared in Han Dong's pupils, but he immediately suppressed them.
"Hallucinogenic pollen? Even if we don't breathe, it can still penetrate through our skin. If this kind of mental influence is present throughout the journey, it will be much easier. "
After Han Dong's reminder.
Chen Xinying drew a large number of "Mind-cleansing Talismans" on the spot and distributed them to her teammates except for Han Dong.
In this way, every white forest they passed would eliminate a group of climbers.
Danger gradually appeared. Some lost people didn't obediently descend the mountain. Instead, they turned to attack other climbers.
However, this was a good thing for Han Dong and the others. They could reasonably collect more corpses.
Swoosh!
A lost person who attacked Han Dong was directly swallowed by the Blood Dog. He didn't even have a chance to resist.
"Great … Great Demon!"
The nearby climbers immediately distanced themselves when they saw this. They were afraid that they would be killed if they got lost.
Before they knew it, they had already climbed a thousand meters.
Feng Kui, who looked like a wild boar, stared at the clouds not far away and commented with disdain.
"This Mount Yueshen isn't as powerful as they say. We're going to cross the cloud zone so soon … It's just a dangerous mountain with illusions. During my years of special training in the Ministry of War, there were experts from the Secret Sect who specially trained us in illusions. It's not a big deal."
However, just as everyone continued to climb and passed through the cloud-shrouded mountain path together …
In the blink of an eye, only Feng Kui was left.
"Where is everyone? Mr. Han! "
No matter how Feng Kui shouted, he didn't get any response.
However, this wasn't an isolated case. It was the same for everyone.
All individuals who passed through the clouds, regardless of whether they were in a team or not, were 'isolated.'
Han Dong tried to contact the doctor who had tied up his brain sensing in advance, but there was still no response. This feeling of isolation made Han Dong reveal an almost crazy smile.
"Yes, this is more like it."
