Chapter 527: Hill of the Dead

After Lianyi and his group planned a route, they began to move towards the Hill of the Dead. Whenever they passed a city, they would enter it to replenish their supplies and learn about the latest news on the continent.

After walking for half a month, when they entered the third city along the way, they received the latest news about the problems with the contracted beasts. The people who made contracts this year had more or less problems, but because they were discovered early, no major disasters had occurred.

The first people to discover that there was something wrong with the phantom beast were Master Lian from the Rodman family and Miss Leia from the Honey family. Their reputations also rose rapidly in their generation and were known by more people.

When Raye told everyone the news he brought back, there was a look of pride in his eyes. Only they themselves knew that the credit for this matter had nothing to do with Leia. She was just lucky to be there at the time.

"I really have to thank Master Lian and Miss Leia for this matter. I have also sent a message back to the family. Fortunately, there are not many adult children in the family this year, only thirty people, and the ones who have formed a bond are all fantasy beasts that assist in refining medicine. There are only eight people with problems, and they have all been handled well."

Raul said with a smile.

"These problems are easy to deal with. Next, we have to see whether similar situations will occur among those who go to the Fantasy Beast Space to form a bond next year. If so, it proves that there is something wrong with the Fantasy Beast Space."

Lianyi said after pouring a basin of cold water on him.

"Lian is right. Father said the same thing. But after discussing it, they decided not to allow adults to enter the Fantasy Beast Dimension until they find a way to clean up that gray power."

Leia said with a frown.

"This is also a method. If you rush in without finding a solution to the problem, it is irresponsible to your children who have just become adults."

Raul nodded in agreement with the Leia family's proposal.

"Now the entire continent has reached a consensus to temporarily suspend the entry of 18-year-olds into the Fantasy Beast Dimension. I hope they can find a solution to the problem as soon as possible."

Lianyi also agrees with this approach. Before a definite solution is found, at least the situation should be prevented from spreading.

"I hope that when we grow up, we can enter the fantasy beast space."

Leia prayed quietly. She specialized in magic and hoped to have a powerful auxiliary mythical beast.

After walking and stopping along the way, the group arrived at the Hill of the Dead Souls a month later.

The Hill of the Dead Souls is not just a hill, but an entire forest. Due to the abundant rainfall, many trees of different heights grow on this forest. Some dead souls who are reluctant to leave for a long time hover and shuttle in this forest, forming a world of their own.

In Lianyi's eyes, this place is an extremely yin place with energy that nourishes the souls of the dead, so it can allow these souls to keep their spirits alive.

In the magical continent, this species has a reasonable existence. Some magicians will come here to find suitable dead souls to sign contracts with and become his soul messenger to deliver messages.

After serving the magician, the dead souls can use the magician's hands to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, and finally ask the magician to send them to reincarnation. This can be considered mutual help.

However, there is a certain upper limit on the number of souls in the Hill of the Dead. If there are more than a certain number of souls, it will break the balance of the magical continent. At this time, the Magicians' Association will organize a large-scale ceremony to send away the most obsessed souls.

The "Flower of the Dead Souls" is a flower that blooms from the dead souls watering and nurturing it with their own power. This flower has black petals and red stamens, which can enhance soul power. After being made into a potion, it can enhance the user's sensitivity to elemental forces and can also help enhance the power of fantasy beasts.

There are two ways to obtain the "Flower of the Dead Souls", robbery and exchange. The former is more violent and requires you to be strong enough, while the latter requires you to pay a certain price, but is relatively gentle and is not likely to cause a riot among the dead souls. After all, you are picking flowers in someone's nest. Lianyi chose the second way.

After resting outside the Hill of the Dead Souls for a night, everyone left their silver-armored horses behind early the next morning and entered the Hill of the Dead Souls on foot.

Lianyi and Laye put on fur cloaks in advance to isolate themselves from the eerie aura of the dead souls. Leia opened a magic isolation circle and pulled Gray into the circle to ensure that the two would not be affected by the dead souls. Raul drank a potion before entering, and the dead souls all avoided him.

The ghosts on the periphery are rather vague and thin, as if they will disappear at any time. The further you go into the forest, the stronger the ghosts you encounter will be, and some even look like real people.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A ghost followed them for a long time, and finally couldn't help but turned into a ball of black mist and floated in front of Lianyi, asking his doubts.

"Hello! My friend needs a 'Flower of the Dead Soul' to make a potion. Who can I exchange it with?"

Ripple asked politely.

"You want flowers? This is easy, I know who has them, just follow me!"

The dead soul fell to the ground and turned into a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, chubby, with curiosity about their group all over his round face.

Lianyi and Leia looked at each other, nodded, and obediently followed the boy through the hills and forests.

"My name is Langli. Don't look at my young age. I have been here for a long time. I know everything here. I have been waiting for Maria to come to me, but she never comes. I also asked the magicians who came in to help me find my mother, but they had to sign a contract with me before they could help me find Maria.

But if I sign the contract, I will have to leave here. I am afraid that when Maria comes, I will not be here and we will miss each other. So I did not sign the contract with the magician, and then they will not help me.

Langli is a chatterbox. He talks as he goes along, and without Lianyi asking, he has already revealed all his secrets.

"Grandpa Batty, I brought you some friends, and they want the flowers you planted!"

The group walked for an hour and finally saw a flower garden in the center of the hills. An old man with white hair and beard was carefully tending to the flowers. When he heard Langli's voice, he didn't turn around, but just said:

"Langli, you're wandering around the periphery again, be careful you get taken away!"

"No, I was very careful. I was just waiting for my mother and I happened to meet them, so I brought them here along the way."

Langli kept explaining.

At this time, Raul looked at the "Flowers of the Dead" of varying sizes in the flowerbed with green eyes, wishing he could rush in and pick two right now. However, he still wiped his saliva under the rippling eyes, stood aside obediently, waiting to negotiate with the old man.

"Hello, Mr. Batty, we are here to ask for a flower. What do you need in exchange?"

Lianyi bowed politely before asking.

"It's very simple. As long as you repair my place, I will give you ten flowers, not just one."

Batty finally stood up, turned around and said to Lianyi and his group with a smile.

There is still time before 10 o'clock, please wait~
