What about Chapter 427?
"I know this Youtu City very well. I've walked through many streets and alleys here. I wonder which district you three live in? Perhaps we've even passed each other before!"
Feng Yu chimed in, "We come from the Southern Region and are new to this city."
"The Southern Region! From an outer region, they are truly guests from afar!"
Shu Daman, without any hesitation, picked up the teapot and refilled their cups, then poured himself a cup as well.
He greeted them, "Come, come, don't be shy, have some tea!"
Three people: "..."
This tea looks like it was packed up by them, right?
Little Fox: "..."
No! This looks like its house, doesn't it?
Why is this rat, Daman, suddenly taking the initiative?
Shu Daman picked up his teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.
"This tea was brought back from the Tree House Tea House on East Street, right?" He pursed his lips. "Mmm~ It still tastes the same, fragrant and sweet. I could smell it from afar outside the door."
"Hehe..." Fei Feng twitched the corner of her mouth: "Drink more if you like."
This guy!
Is he thick-skinned, or just naturally outgoing?
However, it is often these shameless guys who get along well.
Mouse Daman sat in Little Fox's chair, so Little Fox had to turn around and go back into the house to drag out another chair for herself.
Long Chuqing pushed the teacup she had poured in front of it: "Drink it! It's not hot anymore."
"Thank you."
The little fox wagged its tail and thanked them, then secretly glanced at the big rat.
Slurp! Rat Daman took a big gulp of tea, completely oblivious to Little Fox's dissatisfaction with him.
"Hey! You just said you came from the Southern Region. The Southern Region is quite far from the Northern Region. I wonder how many days it took you to get to Youtu City?"
Long Chuqing put down her teacup and casually replied, "About a month!"
It mainly took some time to deal with the evil spirits and demons along the way.
Shu Daman stroked his whiskers: "A month! That's quite a long journey. Although I've never been to the Southern Region, I've heard that it's fraught with danger outside the city. Did you encounter any dangers on the way?"
After saying that, Rat Daman sniffed the air. There was no smell of blood. Looking at the three of them more closely, they were all intact and seemed to have escaped unharmed. They must not have encountered any danger.
It cannot be ruled out that the other party is highly capable and can escape successfully from danger.
Shu Daman thought to himself: The fact that these three can travel from the Southern Region to the Northern Region unharmed is enough to prove that they are quite capable.
Feng Yu crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair: "Danger! It's extremely dangerous! How could it not be dangerous!"
The mouse listened intently, its ears perked up.
Rat Daman: "...??"
That's it?
I know it's dangerous, but what about the process?
Why don't you explain the process in detail?
He usually liked to go to teahouses, order a pot of tea, and sit down to listen to the travelers who frequently traveled between the two regions recount the strange and wonderful things they encountered on their journeys.
He heard mostly stories of people traveling between the Eastern and Northern Regions, as well as between the Western and Northern Regions, but rarely heard of stories about longer journeys like those between the Southern and Northern Regions.
The City of Delusion in the Southern Region has now become a ghost town, and the Southern Region is now also called the Ghost Region. In recent years, very few living beings have been willing to set foot in that area.
What people feared was not the demons, but the lifeless environment.
The ghostly energy emanating from the demon race makes the entire environment cold and gloomy, making it unsuitable for living beings with warmth to survive in the long term.
Of course, there are quite a few who are not afraid of these ghostly auras, but there are far fewer of them compared to a hundred years ago.
For example, there are reclusive tribes that dislike contact with unfamiliar races, some hermit masters who live in seclusion, travelers who prefer to travel alone, and vicious criminals who have been hunted down here...
There are also Fei Feng and Feng Yu, who have stayed in the Southern Region for over three hundred years.
Shu Daman asked curiously, "Have you always lived in the Southern Region?"
Feng Yu nodded.
"Then you..." Rat Daman looked back and forth in the three-person room, "Aren't you scared?"
The thought of that eerie environment sent chills down his spine.
Is that a place where vibrant life can reside?
In the summer, people living in places like that probably wouldn't even need ice to cool off.
Although there are ghosts in Youtu City, there are rules that ghosts must wear cloaks to reveal their forms when they go out and must not frighten the masses.
Previously, there were no explicit rules, and the ghosts often appeared and disappeared unpredictably, frightening many creatures.
Later, the people protested collectively, unwilling to live next to the demons, and wanted to drive them out of the city and never accept them again, which is why the current regulations came about.
Strangely enough, in recent years, very few ghosts have moved into Youtu City, and the only ghosts left in the city are the old guys who have lived there for a long time.
The rest probably all went to the Southern Region!
Fei Feng glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid! What's there to be afraid of? It's just a ghost, what's there to be afraid of?"
The rat, with its wide-open eyes, hissed.
warrior!
"Um... wasn't it said that the City of Illusion in the Southern Region has now become a ghost town? I also heard that the Southern Region is now filled with... oh no, filled with... what do you mean filled with... uh! I'm just saying! In the Southern Region, you can see ghosts floating in mid-air as soon as you step outside, you can encounter a demon every three steps, and you can bump into a monster every five steps. If you're unlucky, you might even encounter a horde of ghosts and have your life force drained by them. I wonder if this is true?"
Long Chuqing and the other two were taken aback: "A demon every three steps, a monster every five steps?"
Really?! Who spread this rumor?
The three of them fell into a brief moment of reminiscence.
There are quite a few ghosts in the Southern Region, but not so many that you'd encounter one every three to five steps!
Of course, it's also common for people to gather in large groups.
Fei Feng nodded: "That's right, there are quite a lot."
Feng Yu recalled the scene of dealing with Gui Sha, placed her hands on the table, and looked at Shu Daman.
"Speaking of ghost hordes, can you imagine a horde of ghosts overwhelming you? They have hideous faces, and they come roaring and baring their teeth like rolling waves. As far as the eye can see... it's a dark, endless mass. The light overhead is instantly swallowed up by the ghost horde, and the surrounding temperature drops sharply, as if you've fallen into an ice cave. That oppressive feeling of death and the suffocating feeling of despair will slowly, bit by bit, erode your consciousness."
Feng Yu narrated the story with great emotion.
After hearing this, Shu Daman couldn't help but shudder and hugged himself tightly.
A horde of ghosts swept in, overwhelming everything!
Good heavens! What a terrifying scene from hell!
Just thinking about it is suffocating, let alone experiencing it firsthand.
If it were him, he would have been scared to death on the spot.
The little fox shuddered at the sound, its fur standing on end.
A ghost tide! That's really terrifying.
It thought about it carefully: the ghost tide that Sister Ayu mentioned... the huge roar it heard when it was trapped at the bottom of the mud must have been the sound of them fighting against the ghost tide!
It could be considered that it was indirectly involved, even though it didn't see it with its own eyes.
Long Chuqing reached out and stroked the little fox's fur to comfort it, and the little fox rubbed its head against her palm.
