Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 384 - 144: Blood Money, Spiders, Dolls, Dogs—The Full Paradise Garden Experience
Although Li Yuan had seen quite a few Ghost Realms, the strongest among them was just his wife’s general store.
The "Twin Ghosts" general store was completely outclassed by the "Miracle Beast Garden" at the end of the street.
And now, what the Divine Wood Hall was exploring was indeed the "Miracle Beast Garden of Mianzhou Path," also known as... Paradise Garden.
Ordinary people only knew of "Paradise," but in fact, "Paradise Garden" was the true name for this Ghost Realm.
Li Yuan still felt very tense because he had no idea about the rules of this complex Ghost Realm called "Paradise Garden"...
The disciples of the Divine Wood Hall were also very cautious, driving the death row prisoners from afar to explore further. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
An hour passed...
Two hours...
The sky quickly darkened, and the mountains cast increasingly dim silhouettes on the dark wasteland.
And these death row prisoners didn’t encounter anything, even though they shouted, ran everywhere, rolled on the ground, or made strange moves, nothing happened.
Bonfires rose in clusters, illuminating heavy gray-black tents and the shadows of the death row prisoners walking silently in front of them.
Li Yuan and Cui Wuji stayed in a secluded and safe place at the top of the mountain.
Soon, Jing Banfeng also led a few family members there.
A while later, an elder from the Gu Family also appeared.
"Master Li, you’ve worked hard," Jing Banfeng said to Li Yuan with a chuckle, then sat beside him, gazing at the enchanting wall of blood-colored flowers stretching like a long snake, praising, "Amazing, truly amazing... Master Li can control this thing, and to such an extent, you’re truly a top talent of our Divine Wood Hall."
Li Yuan said speechlessly, "Patriarch Jing, I am at least your Jing family’s son-in-law, there’s no need to flatter me like this."
Jing Banfeng laughed heartily, "This isn’t flattery, I’m speaking the truth.
Master Li, your contribution has even surpassed that of our elders in the Divine Wood Hall."
Cui Wuji listened to this without taking offense, considering that Li Yuan was also his Cui family’s son-in-law, and if the order of relationships were considered, Li Yuan was clearly closer to his Cui family.
As for surpassing, well, let him surpass then.
His Cui family originally had three ancestors, but one died in the "Battle of Jade Capital," another was seriously injured, and now there was only him left who could go outside, and he... was the weakest of the three ancestors, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed to guard the family.
They chatted for a while, and the members of the Jing family started brewing tea over the bonfire.
Roasting meat was too vulgar.
As for satiating their hunger, their Divine Wood Hall had the "special Grain Avoidance Pill," which only required one.
Now, it was time to sip Spirit Tea and discuss the day’s affairs.
Everyone exchanged words about the probing process during the day, feeling both speechless and as if it was expected.
The surroundings of the Ghost Realm weren’t as perilous as the Ghost Realm itself, usually nothing happens, if "Mu Chen" hadn’t died like that, they wouldn’t have thought of investigating.
"Could it be that the animated corpses used Evil Ghost Tools, and that’s why they were effective in this surrounding area?
Without Evil Ghost Tools, nothing would happen?" someone suggested.
"That’s very likely," another person agreed.
"It’s always been like that, if people kept dying around the Ghost Realm, not to mention Mianzhou Path, the entire Great Zhou would have been in chaos long ago... This situation is normal," another person said.
Li Yuan listened silently, analyzing in his mind based on his experience.
"Carpenter’s Shop," as long as it’s not a dead end, you wouldn’t encounter a "shop right after opening the door," but only if you approach the "Carpenter’s Shop" and inadvertently walk in would something happen.
However, animated corpses could use certain special methods to increase the "incident rate."
For example, he himself, even if he was only on the periphery of the Ghost Realm, a casual "door opening" would lead straight to the "Carpenter’s Shop."
The animated corpse, considered an extension of the Ghost Realm...
"My own general store," now almost exclusively does business with Ghost Street, it can’t kill anyone in reality unless someone absentmindedly enters the Ghost Realm, or goes to buy something with "Yinji Powder."
And the things sold by my store wouldn’t directly kill anyone, whether it’s rouge or Soul Bags, they’re all auxiliary tools.
Looking at it this way, the Ghost Realm isn’t that terrifying, generally speaking, as long as you don’t enter the Ghost Realm, there’s no major issue.
Previously, the death of "Mu Chen" was most likely due to some animated corpse using the "outlying terrain of Paradise Garden," and then employing the "Hungry Ghost Tools of Paradise Garden" to kill him.
After talking for a while, everyone went to rest.
Li Yuan had a tent if he wanted to sleep, or he could sit cross-legged if he didn’t want to sleep, sitting all night in the moonlight was no problem, as the usual mountain wind and chill were insignificant to him.
However, this place was near Paradise Garden, so he didn’t dare to sleep and instead sat there, closing his eyes to rest.
After a while, everyone was gone, leaving only him and Cui Wuji.
Only then did Li Yuan start chatting about unrelated matters in a conversational tone.
"What a long night..." Li Yuan sighed.
Cui Wuji laughed, "Is Master Li missing his wife?"
Li Yuan took the chance to chat with him, and after a while, casually said, "Ancestor, you don’t know, that Jing family girl is really too considerate, to the point of being excessive..."
Cui Wuji fell silent upon hearing this, showing a hint of hesitation, a flash of thought in his eyes, and said, "I’ve heard of Jing Shuixiang, her nature is like that, it’s rare for her to have genuine feelings for Master Li, which is a good thing."
Li Yuan asked, "Why is she like this?"
Cui Wuji laughed, "Master Li should ask her by the pillow, such things, how could we outsiders know?"
