“It’s my first time to come to the Western Capital. I’m a favored student of the top nine schools in Taixia Country.”
The old information hunter Song Ming said confidently. However, he soon found that something was wrong. If he was an official member of the nine teams, he should be preparing for the competition. He didn’t have time to go out to fool around!
“Haha, I’m a student of Di Yi, but I’m not a member of this year’s school team. There’s no need for a competition.”
“Oh, I understand, I understand.” Song Ming nodded. Although he was still confused, he did not intend to pursue the matter further.
“Then I’ll first tell you about the distribution of wild monsters in the west!
“The area covered by the Yin Spirits is very large. We don’t know much about it, and the range of detection is also limited by the four great Yin Spirit death lands that I mentioned before.
“We roughly divided the fog into four regions. The eastern region is mainly composed of curse ghosts and zombies, which are not to be trifled with. The southern region’s ghost spirits gather together, and there are several large-scale Yin Spirits gathering places in the southern region. The Gates of Hell is also in the southern region, and the western region is more special. Some criminals in the west use special channels to escape and hide. Most of them are vampires, werewolves, and undead. The northern region has the Three Lives Stone. Even if you have the flame of Mount Tai, it’s advisable to not go there.
“The River of Forgetfulness runs through the entire fog, but it might not appear. If you want to cross the river, you have to go through the Bridge of Rebirth. Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to expect. In any case, no one who went down the River of Forgetfulness will come back alive.
“If your target is mainly the ghost spirits and wild monsters, then the southern region is more suitable. Other than the Gates of Hell, which has a large number of ghost spirits gathering, there are also several large Yin Spirit gathering places. The total number is close to one billion.
“With the flame of Mount Tai, you don’t have to worry about the earth-rank Ghost King’s making a move, but you still have to maintain a certain level of respect for the strong.
“Lastly, I want to talk about the profits with you. Whether it’s the soul essence left behind after killing the ghost spirits, or those Yin-type natural treasures, as long as you bring them back, I will definitely be able to sell them to you for a good price!”
It was a verbal invitation which didn’t have any legal effect. However, it involved one’s morality. For ability-users, there might be some loopholes in the law. However, morality was related to one’s behavior, nobody would cooperate with ability-users who had bad morals unless they intended to cheat others from the beginning.
After thinking about it calmly and analyzing it for a short while, Lin Xuan nodded and agreed to the old man’s request.
As the old saying went, nobody would cooperate with a bad ability user. If Song Ming cheats him, the top nine powerhouses of Taixia Country behind Lin Xuan would not be easy to deal with!
The old man burst out into laughter at the sight of this. Recently, good things happened one after another. He didn’t dare delay as he drew out the relevant routes from his ability user’s watch and made detailed notes on many locations. Additionally, there was a copy of a book called Wild Monsters in the West and a relatively secret hunter’s safe house just in case they needed it.
Compared to other cities, there was no need to build a hunter’s town in the west. It was extremely dangerous to sleep in the fog. They had to leave fog before nightfall.
Lin Xuan received them all with his watch. He saw Song Ming admiring the watch on Lin Xuan’s wrist, “As expected, this equipment is really good.”
Lin Xuan didn’t know that his watch could arouse the envy of an ability user, “Then I’ll take my leave first. I’ll look for you when I come back.”
After leaving the Ability User Guild, Lin Xuan did not delay and directly took a taxi to the Western Capital’s south gate. This place was still quite a distance away from the south gate, and he would only arrive an hour later.
The ancient green brick walls were engraved with an unknown Taoist text, it seemed to have the great power of subduing ghosts and demons.
Bright yellow flames were lit on the city walls. It was unclear before, but now that he looked at it, he realized it was the flame of Mount Tai. Amazing!
However, this was also in line with Lin Xuan’s previous guess. The flame of Mount Tai was probably not a natural extraordinary resource. It was most likely man-made, and it only appeared randomly on Mount Tai… it went without saying who created these flames!
The Bright Phoenix!
There were Western Capital’s guards patrolling around the city walls. They were even a group of ordinary people, but they carried special firearms in their hands. Not only could they pose a certain threat to ability users, but they could also cause considerable damage to the undead spirits.
Joining the army was also a way to become an ability user, but there was no need to talk about it for the time being!
After Lin Xuan registered at the city gates, he walked straight into the dense forest deep in the mountains that was shrouded by the Yin Spirits.
The Western Capital did not have a large-scale environment for the cultivation of spirit-storing grain. The fog and the climate were not suitable for cultivation. Therefore, most of the grain in the Western Capital was transported outside. Of course, it did not mean that it was not suitable, wheat that contained sword intent was a specialty of the Western Capital.
Unlike the noise of the dense forest in other regions, it was very quiet here. One could not hear the chirping of insects or birds. Occasionally, a mournful roar would pass by one’s ear. From the sound of it, one could tell that it was not something that could be produced by living creatures.
Two oddly-shaped skeletons were strolling unsteadily in the forest. They seemed to have smelled the scent of living creatures and walked in Lin Xuan’s direction rather excitedly.
Lin Xuan did not conveniently dispose of these two skeletons. He scratched his head and took out some deodorant powder from his personal space to smear it all over his body. However, it was useless. For living creatures, it would have been effective. However, undead creatures smelled the scent of living creatures, unless Lin Xuan covered up that specific scent…
This… he did not expect to encounter a problem the moment he stepped out of the door.
He would encounter quite a number of undead creatures along the way. If he could not cover up the scent of living creatures, it would probably cause a terrifying undead tide.
“This must be your first time coming to the Western Capital.”
A man who looked like an expert from the Western Capital smashed two piles of skeletons with two sticks. Looking at Lin Xuan’s distressed face, he smiled and pulled out two pieces of grass from the ground and threw them to him. “Just squeeze out the grass juice and rub it on your body.”
“Oh, thank you. What kind of grass is this?”
“It doesn’t have a name. We all call it rotten grass. It’s everywhere. Your energy and blood are a little strong. Remember to rub more on it.”
The man waved his hand and followed his own team into the depths of the dense forest.
Lin Xuan smiled. He was good at fighting, but he was still unknowledgable in the field of small tricks and common sense.
He pulled out a lot of rotten grass, squeezed out some grass juice, and smeared it on his body. Then, he walked through the dense forest. The undead did not notice him anymore. It was quite practical.
Opening the map and comparing the directions, Lin Xuan walked toward the nearest medium-sized Yin Spirit gathering place, which had about ten thousand Yin Spirits.
