Conversely, if ghouls really became beings that only eat rotten garbage...

Perhaps in the end, it's possible to achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and monsters.

Now, Gu Xinghe has chosen a method to stop the ghouls and prevent these monsters from continuing to steal corpses from the graveyard—

The idea is to have the red spider use its silk to create a barrier within the area of ​​the cemetery.

Let this cemetery become the territory of the Red Spiders, just like the previous Wheatfield Town.

In addition, Gu Xinghe also had Red Spider bury barrier threads in the soil underground.

He then used the power of his mist domain to shroud the entire cemetery area underground.

This effectively prevents ghouls from stealing corpses from the graveyard for food from all angles.

And if there are still ghouls who want to "settle" in Set City later.

Perhaps these monsters will truly be forced to change from being carnivorous (corpses) to being herbivorous (rotten garbage).

After completing all these tasks, Gu Xinghe finally heard the notification sound in his ear that the main quest had been completed.

However, since he still has side quests to complete, he can remain in this instance.

Until he completes his exploration of his side quest.

Or perhaps he gave up on completing the side quest, a non-mandatory optional task, and then chose to return directly.

Now that Gu Xinghe has completed his main quest.

Standing there, he saw that the spatial rift, which was originally half a person's height in mid-air, began to slowly shrink.

Until it finally disappeared completely.

But in reality, this spatial gap, which symbolizes the contact and collision between the two spaces, has always existed.

However, this gap can only be observed when it is open, just as it was before.

Only then can they travel through spatial rifts, just like the ghoul did.

The next morning.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe had returned to the surface from that underground space.

Similarly, he used his mist field to move the corpses of the ghouls he killed last night and brought them back to the ground.

Gu Xinghe did not waste any time in the latter half of last night.

I was intrigued by the green, seemingly adipocere-like substances left by the ghouls on the earthen walls.

So last night, he tried to do it without causing a massive explosion in the underground space.

Using black flames created by combining his own explosives with the mist, he began to burn several ghoul corpses.

Then, under such high temperatures and intense flames, liquid began to melt and drip from the ghoul's corpse.

So in the end, Gu Xinghe burned three ghoul corpses.

He now possessed three bottles of corpse oil that appeared to be a cloudy yellow color.

He put the three bottles of corpse oil back into his storage space.

After returning to the ground, Gu Xinghe piled the remaining ghoul corpses on the ground next to the cemetery.

Then he headed toward Hansen's Tavern, intending to deliver the task to his client first.

Then claim your main quest rewards first.

A moment later, when Hansen, Semi, and a dozen other residents of Seter City who had discovered that the bodies of their deceased relatives had been stolen gathered at the cemetery and saw the dozen or so ghoul corpses that Gu Xinghe had piled on the ground.

At that moment, everyone present wore an expression of shock.

The investigation seemed to have reached a stalemate when the ghoul's lair was found to be completely empty yesterday.

But no one expected this—

Just one day later, Gu Xinghe had already presented the results of the mission to them.

[Truly a highly experienced bounty hunter who has resolved all sorts of major incidents!]

At that moment, everyone felt the same sentiment in their hearts.

At that moment, as everyone looked at the ghoul corpses piled up on the ground...

One of the people in the crowd couldn't resist kicking one of the ghoul corpses.

Its force was so great that it produced a loud "bang," and then kicked the corpse quite a distance away.

This person's violent action quickly became the catalyst for others to stop the desecration of the corpse.

The dozen or so people present instantly swarmed forward, unleashing their revenge on the ghoul corpses.

It seems that only in this way can they resolve the hatred they felt for their loved ones' corpses being stolen by these monsters and used as food.

Looking at this scene so characteristic of the snow country, Gu Xinghe felt that the people here were indeed clear about their likes and dislikes and had passionate emotions.

After all, he had already experienced this from the very first day he arrived in Seto, when Hansen "invited" him to a drinking contest.

But even after this intense action, the people present still felt it wasn't enough to vent their anger.

So one of them hurriedly ran back to his home and carefully brought back his treasured phosphorus powder.

Seeing this, the others also brought fire starters and various kinds of accelerants from their homes.

At this moment, the person who started it all sprinkled phosphorus powder on the ghoul corpses scattered all over the ground.

The crowd then threw various tinder and accelerants onto the corpse.

At this moment, the ghoul corpses lying on the ground began to burn.

Unlike Gu Xinghe's black flames, which could "squeeze" corpse oil from ghouls' corpses overnight, this was different from any other valuable "oil" or "oil" in the process.

Ordinary flames are naturally insufficient to completely incinerate the bodies of these ghouls.

Therefore, Gu Xinghe thoughtfully provided his clients with some homemade explosives.

After throwing the explosives provided by Gu Xinghe into the raging flames.

At this point, Hansen poured several bottles of high-purity distilled spirits from his tavern into the flames.

This made the flames visibly more intense, with the flames reaching several meters in height.

After that, Gu Xinghe stopped paying attention to the aftermath of the giant fire that had started burning next to the cemetery.

After receiving his mission rewards from everyone, he was even more eager to enter the Dreamland to explore further.

But it is said that this giant fire, which burned next to the cemetery and used ghoul corpses as fuel, lasted for a whole year without going out.

The ghoul's corpse oil, which provides a large amount of energy, even kept the flames burning brightly during the blizzard.

Thus, in such a snowy and icy environment.

Many vagrants in the city of Set gradually began to gather around the blazing fire next to the cemetery to keep warm.

If Gu Xinghe truly possessed a system in the traditional sense, he might even hear a notification like this—

The achievement "The Wanderer's Campfire Waypoint" has been completed.
