Suddenly, Hidan's body began to sway, and his eyes became somewhat vacant.

Upon seeing this, Shinji immediately threw out a blood rope to tie Hidan, forcefully pulling him away from the vicinity of the mirage.

There's definitely something wrong with this thing!

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from inside the mirage.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? This is my true form!"

No, I already thought of that...

"I knew you cunning humans had no integrity, so I prepared a backup plan long ago. The black mist that guy inhaled was a terrifying fog that was re-condensed and transformed from gray mist. Before it dissipated on its own, this black mist would continuously stimulate his brain, making him constantly feel negative emotions such as loneliness, sadness, and anger, until he completely collapsed, his brain became a useless pile of waste, and then he would die!"

"Normally, only the 'lucky' enough humans receive this special treatment. After getting what they want from me, they return home and collapse in endless regret and pain, dying in agony!"

"Oh."

Shinji scratched the top of his head; it was a little prickly there.

"Oh? Do you even realize how serious this is? Aren't you worried about your companion's life or death?"

"I'm not worried."

As Shinji walked forward, he continued, "It's just a bunch of negative emotions. What do you think that idiot Hidan has been through by now? That moron is a madman who wouldn't even accept a terrifying evil god! I guarantee that your black mist won't break him; it will only make him enjoy it."

"Pain? Anger? That's the source of his happiness! You know what? You messed with the wrong person from the start, you idiot!"

Squeak...

Shinji followed the bloody crescent scythe left by Hidan and plunged the snakeskin sword into it.

"Nonsense! Don't try to fool me again! Die!"

Just as the opponent was about to use the same trick again to kill Shinji with the black mist, Shinji moved even faster.

Golden snakes dance wildly, activate!

The snakeskin sword, its blade completely submerged in the gap, instantly transformed into a golden snake, which, under Shinji's control, stretched its body and began to bite wildly!

"Ah! A snake? A snake! How can there be a snake!?"

"No, I'm being petrified! I don't want to die! Spare me!"

"Don't kill me, I know many more secrets... I can give you anything you want, rare herbs, priceless treasures... I can..."

The pleas for mercy abruptly ceased!

No one knows exactly where the mischievous little snake bit, but the grayish stone chips have already begun to spread to the hard outer shell.

Only after he was completely petrified did Shinji take a deep breath and raise his right fist.

Black Flash!

With a loud bang!

The petrified mirage shell shattered completely, leaving behind a pile of debris.

[Exorcised the Superior Cursed Spirit - Mirage, gained 10,000 Cursed Soul Points]

Shinji raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that this guy was actually quite 'valuable'.

It doesn't even have a pseudo-domain, yet it's worth 10,000 Cursed Soul Points. That's a huge profit!

But on second thought, this guy's method of creating fog to cover the entire mountain and turn it into his own domain is actually not much different from the concept of a pseudo-domain.

Moreover, this guy's attack methods are indeed unique and bizarre.

Without a single misstep, even Shuiying almost fell here.

But if it were in a different place, facing the true form of this top-tier cursed spirit, Mei Terumi could annihilate it in one move, leaving not even a trace!

This is the huge advantage that comes from geographical location.

And the domain is actually taking this advantage to the extreme!

After finally defeating the enemy, Shinji, with the mindset of taking every last drop of value, carefully inspected the area.

Then, amidst the rubble, they found a palm-sized, multicolored seashell.

Incantation Item: Wealth-Generating Mist Shell

Effect: Collecting mist generates a seven-colored mist droplet every three days. Landing here is wealth!

PS: Even Shen Wansan exclaimed that you were an expert when he saw it, and wanted to trade his own treasure bowl for you.

Shinji's eyes lit up, and he quietly put it away.

He is clearly someone who regards money as dirt, so why do you keep tempting him with these things?

He was very angry and said that he could bring more next time, and he could still manage!

[Chapter 157. The Terrifying Answer!]

At the foot of the mountain, Afei looked at Shuiying, who had already woken up but was pretending to be asleep, and sneered inwardly!

To be honest, he had considered whether or not to just kill him.

After all, weakening the power of the five great powers is something he has been doing all along.

The vast Misty Hidden Realm was almost destroyed by him alone!

However, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that the weight of a Mizukage was not worth abandoning his identity as 'Abi' right now.

Compared to Shinji Akagi's importance, what is a mere Mizukage?

Once he masters the secret of the fusion between humans and cursed spirits, he might be able to start that plan ahead of time. At that time, the five great nations, beset by internal and external troubles, will be no threat at all!

Furthermore, he could use Afei's identity to facilitate an alliance between the Akatsuki and the Jashin Cult.

Ah Fei couldn't help but have such a tempting thought pop into his head.

While I was lost in thought (daydreaming), the fog on the mountain began to gradually dissipate.

It didn't completely dissipate, but rather it became less thick and no longer concentrated in one area, instead spreading outwards and turning into normal fog.

Then, a short while later, Shinji grabbed Hidan by the ankle and dragged him down the mountain.

Although he thought Hidan couldn't possibly be in any danger, it was indeed true that he had become demented.

"Shinji-senpai, what's wrong with Hidan-senpai? Have you dealt with the enemy?"

"Ah, he's already taken care of. That idiot Hidan was caught in the enemy's dying counterattack; he'll probably need a few days to recover."

"Wow, Shinji-senpai is amazing! Hidan-senpai was definitely left behind to hold us back, huh? He's such a worry~"

Ah Fei spread his hands, making a helpless gesture.

At this moment, Shinji glanced at Mei Terumi and asked, "She hasn't woken up yet?"

"Right? Anyway, it's been like this since just now. My former teacher taught me that the women down the mountain are tigers, and that I must be careful." Afei pointed to the mountain, then to Mei Terumi, and then made a tiger-eating gesture.

"..."

The phrase "the woman at the foot of the mountain" doesn't mean "woman at the foot of the mountain"!

Although he knew perfectly well that this guy was faking his madness, Shinji was still speechless.

However, he roughly understood what Afei was really trying to say: this woman was faking it, so he had to be careful.

His expression shifted slightly, but he pretended not to know anything. "Afei, once this mission is settled, we'll leave the Water Kingdom."

"Huh? Aren't we going to do the other mission?"

"Never mind, I just extracted some information from the enemy. The entire Land of Water may be in danger, so we need to evacuate now. I'm afraid it will be too late if we wait any longer."

"Huh? Oh... okay! Let's go quickly then."

Afei was a little dazed, then as if he suddenly realized something, he grabbed Fei Duan's ankle and started running.

Shinji was about to say there was no need to rush when he realized he had been tricked by Fei.

Because this guy left the 'tiger' for him!

Shinji sized up the other person and frowned.

He then reached out to grab Mei Terumi's ankle, preparing to drag her away like he had dragged Hidan before...

After all, everyone should be treated equally, and gender equality should be upheld. Differential treatment is the worst thing you can do!

Mei Terumi could no longer keep up the act. She opened her eyes, quickly pulled her feet back, and stood up in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? You're awake. If you're awake, walk by yourself. This mission is complete. Don't forget my reward."

After saying that, Shinji turned and left, not giving Terumi Mei a chance to speak at all.

Mei Terumi's heart sank when she thought about the conversation she had just overheard.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, she has to get to the bottom of it!

So she immediately jumped and blocked Shinji's way.

Shinji knew that the bait he had just thrown out had worked, but he remained outwardly calm.

"What information do you know? Why is the Land of Water in danger?"

"So it turns out that the Mizukage likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. This is not a good habit, and it's not something a dignified Mizukage should do."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth; if it were anyone else, she probably would have already kicked them.

But this guy had just saved her life not long ago...

Moreover, she still hasn't figured out how to deal with the opponent's strange ability. If they really fight, the opponent has companions, and she might not be able to win.

That's really awkward!

However, Mei Terumi reacted quickly, "I can exchange your information for a cursed object."

“Sure, one hundred cursed items, guaranteed to be excellent value for money.”

Shinji readily agreed, but Mei Terumi's face immediately darkened.

"This is impossible!"

Even if you searched the entire Hidden Mist Village, you wouldn't find a hundred cursed artifacts. And even if you did, Mei Terumi, as the Mizukage, wouldn't sell her entire fortune for information of unknown value.

"That's a pity. In my opinion, the importance of this information may exceed the total value of a hundred cursed artifacts."
