Chapter 987: Chapter 495: Road Tax_3

Those alien races hidden among these people were even more surprised, especially Lachlan Ashen: "Owen Bertram isn’t coming in? Hehe, so he’s just a timid little rat. This is really a blessing for me!"

In the first phase of the Country of Mourning reopening, the cultivators who rushed in found that the Ancient Annihilation Domain had a radius of only three hundred miles. At the endpoint, thick gray fog surged, and once they entered, they would disappear without a trace!

However, within this three hundred-mile range, after an unknown number of years of accumulation, various precious spiritual medicines, treasure materials, and even ancient magical instruments that had awakened were numerous, making people gasp in amazement. Moreover, the various demon beings inside, although also quite powerful, seemed a bit dull and rigid due to just waking up. So, when everyone joined forces, they could easily find their weaknesses and kill them.

The first wave of people who entered the Country of Mourning gained this "bonus." They originally planned to loot and leave, but having received so many resources, they had the strength to stay and watch the situation for a while.

Ten days later, the second phase of the Country of Mourning arrived. The mysterious gray fog retreated, and the range of the Country of Mourning rapidly expanded to 3000 miles! Numerous cultivators arrived later on, but they were scattered within the 3000 miles, unable to cause a ripple.

In this phase, some ancient ruins hidden in the Extinction Domain were revealed. With the accumulation from the first phase, the cultivators teamed up, slew the demon beings guarding the ruins, deciphered various prohibitions within the ruins, and obtained ancient magical instruments and inheritances, which greatly increased their strength!

By this stage, the cultivators who entered did not want to leave. This place was simply a blessing for leveling up by killing monsters.

Outside the 3000-mile range, there was still thick gray fog. According to previous experience, in another ten days, the entire Country of Mourning would expand again, and new opportunities would be revealed.

At this point, according to Greystone’s estimate, the number of cultivators who had entered the Country of Mourning had reached five thousand.

As expected, after another ten days, the gray fog receded once again, and the entire Country of Mourning expanded to a range of 30,000 miles. The gray fog at the edge still had not disappeared, indicating that this was not the limit of the Country of Mourning.

However, at this time, the cultivators scattered throughout the Country of Mourning discovered that the space within the ancient extinction domain had begun to distort, overlap, twist, and blink intermittently. The most direct consequence was that they could not find their way back!

Meanwhile, the demon beings in the Country of Mourning suddenly became "awake," their combat power surged, and even when they were besieged, they often ended up defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the cultivators wanted to leave because they felt that they had "gained enough" and there was no need to bury their lives here. However, their path of return was covered in blood!

"Something’s not right..." When the Country of Mourning expanded to a range of 30,000 miles, Sun Da Ren keenly sensed the abnormality inside. He considered for a moment, came to the edge of the lake, took out a gourd and poured it down. Boundary Flower rolled out, and with a plop, fell into the lake, followed by entering the Country of Mourning.

The appearance of Boundary Flower was very strange. After falling into this place, countless tendrils crawled around like tentacles, and the long grass stems carried huge umbrella balls, which looked like large eyeballs.

However, when it crawled, it looked like a crab, and it was unknown why it could only walk sideways...

"What a strange space." Sun Da Ren observed everything in this world through Boundary Flower, as numerous rapidly growing and extending tendrils touched the void of this world.

Suddenly, a mound of soil swelled up on the ground, and then a strange hand stretched out from it. At a glance, numerous mounds swelled up within a range of several dozen miles, and countless demon beings drilled out from the ground.

These fellows had bone structures that clearly came from fish and shrimp types but were somehow pieced together into humanoid forms. Some even wore tattered armor on their bodies.

Silently, hundreds of thousands of such monsters appeared around. They seemed like undead, but they were not like ordinary undead!

The dense swarm of demon beings rushed towards Boundary Flower, which didn’t panic at all. It... simply sat down on the ground.

In fact, the whole body sank, and all the tendrils drilled into the earth, quickly absorbing the nutrients from it. As those dense demon beings rushed to Boundary Flower and ferociously clawed at it, Boundary Flower swung a grass stem to sweep them away, creating a large safe zone around it.

By the time the demon beings outside the area charged once again, countless tendrils had already grown rapidly underground. Each strand entangled a demon being, pulling them under the ground and forcibly absorbing them as nutrients!

This scene was incredibly eerie, as hundreds of thousands of demon beings were suddenly pulled into the ground during their frenzied assault. The chaotic and noisy situation suddenly became deathly silent.

After absorbing hundreds of thousands of demon beings, Owen Bertram also understood their origins: within the Country of Mourning, it seemed that countless human ghosts were wandering. Due to many years of changes, these ghosts became somewhat similar to Sun Da Ren’s Ghost Soldier Camp. Almost all memories had vanished, leaving only the soul body.

They didn’t have human skeletons to attach to, and since there were a large number of marine creature corpses beneath the Country of Mourning, they gave birth to these strange, hybrid monsters.
