"We should be here, right?" Gu Ye pointed heavily at a certain spot on the map, his brows furrowed. He and Liu Xie were both extremely embarrassed, helpless in the face of the dense map patterns, completely unable to determine their current location.

"How about we fly up and take a look?" Willow Crab shook the tentacles on its head and tentatively suggested, its tone tinged with uncertainty.

Gu Ye felt a unique fear of this card domain. "Are you sure?"

If you accidentally trigger some strange rule and get wiped out, then you'll have died a truly unjust death.

"Why don't you just call Lin Daiyu out? She's not afraid of ghosts."

"That's right." Gu Ye slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened. He quickly summoned Lin Daiyu.

"My lord!" It was only after Gu Ye corrected her several times that she changed her address. Otherwise, she would have called Gu Ye "husband" all the time, which would have made Gu Ye feel very awkward, even though it seemed normal to Lin Daiyu.

"Fly up into the sky and carefully observe your surroundings."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled. She stomped her toes hard on the ground and soared into the air like a startled swan. Her clothes fluttered as she quickly scanned the surrounding mountains and rivers. In a moment, she landed lightly and stood steadily in front of Gu Ye.

"My lord, there are two mountain peaks directly opposite us. One is a large mountain shaped like an inverted tripod, and the other is a small mountain that is fiery red and is emitting black smoke." Lin Daiyu spoke calmly and clearly recounted the scene she had observed.

Gu Ye consulted the map and finally found his location.

"We are in a place called Treeheart Forest. The mountain peak that looks like a volcano in front of us should be the Ember Demon Peak."

magic??

Gu Ye turned to look at Liu Xie on his shoulder, "Do you know what's going on at Jinyu Demon Peak?"

According to the route, they must cross the Ashes Demon Peak to continue; there is no other way to go.

Liu Xie pondered for a moment and said, "It should be the place where the Demon Sword Celestial Venerable imprisons the demon race."

"Aren't you from the Realm of Ghosts? Where did these demons come from?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie rolled his eyes at him. "Of course they are invaders. The Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm are very close, and Demon Realm minions often come to the Ghost Realm."

"As long as these demons don't offend them, the big shots in the Ghost Realm don't really care."

I heard that the reason the Demon Sword Celestial Venerable captured these demons was apparently to conduct some kind of experiment, but the report didn't mention the specifics.

Gu Ye rubbed his temples. "We have to be careful. The strange creatures are hard to deal with, and now there's a demon too."

It seems that before the ten major forces even begin to clash, most of them will likely perish.

Gu Ye lifted his foot and walked towards the direction of the Ember Demon Peak. Along the way, he encountered some strange monsters in the Tree Heart Forest, but he easily killed them under the attack of Lin Daiyu and the Evil Willow.

Gu Ye traveled along, stopping frequently, and thanks to the treasure-hunting characteristics of the Willow Crab, he collected several high-quality cards.

.....

"Crack—crack—!"

A sharp cracking sound suddenly rang out as a tree wall made of countless thick vines was suddenly pierced through by a huge, black tree stump covered with patterns.

With a sharp twist and push, the tree stump tore the tough vines apart with a loud crash, creating a huge gap in the center of the tree wall large enough for two people to walk side by side. The broken vines were still wriggling slightly, emitting a faint fishy smell.

Lin Daiyu walked in front, followed by Gu Ye, who was wearing heavy armor.

Gu Ye exhaled a breath of stale air, looked up at the towering mountain peaks in front of him, and said, "Finally, we're out."

He scanned the ground and found it to be clearly divided. Near the Ash Prison Demon Peak, the soil was a dark yellowish-black, soft and dry to the touch, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and sulfur, which made people wrinkle their noses.

Meanwhile, the Tree Heart Forest remains lush and verdant, with tender green grass and wildflowers dotting the landscape. A gentle breeze blows, causing the grass blades to sway softly and creating ripples. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, forming a stark contrast to the desolation on the other side.

Gu Ye smiled faintly, suppressing his surprise, and continued on his way. After traveling at a brisk pace for five hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the night, like a huge black cloth, slowly enveloped the entire mountain peak.

When they arrived at the mountainside of the Ember Demon Peak, an ancient and eerie village appeared before Gu Ye without warning.

This is the only road leading to the mountaintop, and the village sits right in the middle of it, like an insurmountable barrier.

This is the only road up the mountain, and the village is located in the middle of the road.

"Kid, be careful. This village is... extremely eerie. There are quite a few monsters here, and they're all quite powerful."

Liu Xie perched on Gu Ye's shoulder, all its tentacles tensing, its expression grave as it gave a warning, its tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

Gu Ye calmly said, "Yes! We have to go in too."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Ye started walking towards the village. When he reached the village entrance, a wooden sign stood by the roadside with a sentence written on it, which seemed to be a warning to those who entered.

"Our village values ​​peace and fights are strictly prohibited."

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Rules, huh?"

He continued on and soon entered the heart of the village, the vegetable market that every village has.

The sounds of various vendors hawking their wares filled the air. The things they sold broadened Gu Ye's horizons: there were eyeballs, various organs, and even some yellowish stuff hanging from the intestines. Hmm... the dog would love to eat that.

What Gu Ye found most impressive was that one of the vendors had a long, thin, indescribable object on his stall.

Gu Ye frowned, sensing that some charlatans seemed to have their eyes on him, their eyes filled with greed.

As Gu Ye walked through the market, he encountered many federal examinees and members of the evil god cult who had come to participate in this death feast.

Gu Ye didn't care much about them, after all, with his current strength, he could easily crush them like minions.

Gu Ye was only interested in the many strange creatures here. These creatures were quite powerful, but perhaps due to the village rules, they were not allowed to attack Gu Ye and his companions.

Some of the monsters may already be at the Silver level, and Gu Ye even saw a familiar monster, the Gluttonous Monster.

This [Gluttonous Monster] was not as weak as the one he had killed before; it had clearly evolved to its complete form.

His body was covered with bulging, strong muscles, his skin was bluish-black and covered with ferocious lines, his wide mouth was stretched almost to his ears, and there was sticky saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth. He was chewing on an unknown dark red organ, making a grating "crunching" sound, and his eyes were full of violence and greed.

“Pah!”

A slender, white hand suddenly patted Gu Ye's shoulder. Gu Ye froze and instinctively turned around, only to be met with a beautiful smiling face the moment he saw her.

"You've arrived too? You're so slow!" Luo Yuerao said with a charming smile, her eyes crinkling and her tone slightly coquettish. However, her gaze inadvertently swept over Gu Ye's heavy armor, and a hint of amazement flashed across her eyes.

Gu Ye was slightly taken aback, not expecting to meet this woman here. She was no longer in the tight-fitting combat suit that Gu Ye had first seen her in, but in a relatively loose outfit, which still couldn't hide her beautiful curves.

"What's going on here?" Gu Ye didn't stand on ceremony with Luo Yuerao and directly asked about the village.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yueyao smiled charmingly, not annoyed at all, and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Gu Ye quickly followed, and the two walked side by side on the street. People who knew Luo Yuerao glanced at Gu Ye with slight surprise, but their eyes turned into amusement.
