Looking into the distance, the mountains and sky blend into one.

Logically, under such autumnal conditions, the mountains should be warm-toned, while the sky, a blue curtain inlaid with white clouds, should be cool-toned, with clear distinctions and distinct boundaries.

Fang Zong discovered that Qishan was a vast expanse, with rocks containing some kind of metallic element that emitted a faint blue-white light under the sunlight.

The mountains resembled the blue sky, while the sky resembled the earth.

The upside-down scenery is particularly eye-catching!

"The scenery is quite nice." Fang Zong lit a cigarette and chuckled as he studied medical information on his phone.

Hu Batian scoffed, "Where is the scenery nice? It's clearly something here that's helping to conceal the ghostly aura... I'm injured, but if I weren't, I could still find them even if they were hidden!"

"No rush, I'm very interested in that old gentleman."

Fang Zong said with a smile.

According to the Demon Slayer Corps' records, there was indeed a small village here thirteen years ago, but as they say, it was thirteen years ago. Back then, the villagers who could no longer make a living from the mountain were all relocated.

Back then, there was no resurgence of ghostly energy, no powerful monsters capable of taking human form, and no spirit ghosts.

Therefore, the mysterious old man that Han Die mentioned could only be a ghost in a weak state!

Fang Zongxiao asked, "Dahuang, do you think all ghosts really need to be tamed? Aren't there any that can control themselves and save me some trouble?"

"Yes, but don't call me Big Yellow, it sounds like a dog!"

Tiger Overlord licked his paws and washed his face: "Some people with good talent or good manners become ghosts, and gradually they can control their killing intent towards the living. Haven't you seen it? Isn't the Second Princess of the Yin-Yang Path one of them?"

Fang Zong nodded.

Okay, the second princess counts.

He remembered that when he saw the second princess on the island, he immediately noticed that she was different.

The second princess's interest in him far exceeded her desire to kill him.

He even once thought that the person was a ghost.

Just then, I heard the sound of a vehicle stopping in the distance; it was the very agitated sound of a diesel engine.

Fang Zong glanced at the terrain ahead and found that even a three-wheeled vehicle could not travel more than two miles away. Han Die and the other two were climbing over the rocks with considerable agility.

The stones were uneven, and they couldn't see each other's positions, so they were busy competing with each other.

"Come here, Han Die, grab my hand!"

"Come on, do you think someone who plays soccer can handle a place like this? Han Die, I'm on the school basketball team. I have great jumping ability and I've even done climbing. This place is the safest for me."

Zhao Xian and Wu Yongci were bickering with each other, but Han Die ignored them both.

She hasn't decided yet, and doesn't even know which one she likes. She can only decide who her first love is based on taking a risk. How could she possibly favor one of them?

Moreover, on such a rocky mountain path, she was wearing sneakers and climbed more steadily than the two boys.

Suddenly, Han Die froze.

She saw Fang Zong.

Under the setting sun, Fang Zong sat on a rock that resembled a reclining ox, holding his phone and concentrating intently.

A biting mountain wind blew, ruffling Fang Zong's long, jet-black hair. The guitar case on his back seemed to embody the image of a handsome, down-on-his-luck bard.

Under the golden-red sunlight, Fang Zong's leisurely demeanor made her heart flutter and her face flush slightly.

"You...you're the one from the store! You've been following us!"

Wu Yongci shouted instinctively, his face lighting up with joy, and stood in front of Han Die: "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" He said confidently, taking off his coat, clenching his fist, and revealing his well-trained biceps.

"I can protect you too!"

Compared to Wu Yongci, Zhao Xian was a bit dull, but he wasn't stupid either.

He also took off his coat and stood protectively in front of Han Die. The two men seemed to have built a high wall between Fang Zong and Han Die.

Fang Zong: "..."

Putting away his phone, Fang Zong patted Hu Batian's head and said, "I have a question."

"What?" The two boys were still very wary.

Fang Zong said with a half-smile, "Why do you all take off your coats when you want to fight? Do you really want to fight, or are you just showing off your muscles to fight for the right to mate with females?"

Two men and one woman: "..."

In particular, one of the 'females' suddenly stopped thinking Fang Zong was good-looking.

Although it's the absolute truth, do you know what it is?

Do you really know?

If we see through each other but don't say it outright, we can be good friends!

"Ah, this is the cave!" Han Die, still bewildered, suddenly looked to Fang Zong's left and pointed, exclaiming, "We've found it! This is the cave! Come on, let's forget about it! Let's go inside and talk!"

Fang looked at the spot Han Die was pointing at, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

cave?

Is there?

All he saw was a pile of stones, strange and jagged, just like the other rocks weathered over countless years.

But judging from Han Die's expression, it didn't seem like she was lying. And looking at the two boys, their expressions also showed that they had truly seen the so-called cave!

More importantly—

These two men and one woman are clearly alive!

Fang Zong's eyes flashed with a pure blue light. He looked again but still saw nothing unusual. He shook his head and said, "I advise you not to go in."

Wu Yongci: "Ignore him!"

He firmly supported Han Die's decision.

Zhao Xian was a little slow to react, but he quickly puffed out his chest and said with a touch of 'manliness', "Yes, that's right! Han Die, let's go! With me and Wu Yongci, who has some muscles, this stalker won't be able to cause any trouble!"
