As I said, I remember that wolf spiders rarely came to the post station to hunt for food, because they rely on the signals transmitted by the vibration of their own spider webs to determine the location of the target. Some wolf spiders may actively look for new places due to lack of food, waiting for an opportunity to hunt passing prey, but there will never be so many of them as when they came in full force.

After all, all creatures will not go against their own habits too much. First, I did not pass through their inherent territory, which is the upper slope of Diaolou Mountain, so I was not within their hunting range. Second, I did not threaten their offspring, and they had no intention of attacking me. Therefore, their large-scale arrival from that time on was an abnormal behavior.

Although these abnormal behaviors cannot be completely confirmed, I think they should be related to the blood-red scars left by the ghost claws on their bodies. After all, in our latitude, the wolf spiders I have seen and the apes I meet now do not have that mark. These marks seem to exist only in this space.

It seems that their existence is aimed at me, which is why those wolf spiders abnormally attacked the entire post station. I think it must be related to this. Now that we have just arrived in this monkey forest, we are immediately ambushed and quickly surrounded. I think this is the reason.

"It was arranged quickly!" I couldn't help but say.

"No, I just discovered not long ago that they had been staying on Claw Dragon Mountain. How come they all suddenly came down the mountain? It's as if they were waiting for us here specially." The nine-tailed white fox at this latitude said with his mind's voice.

"The Dark Lord! It must be it. Since we arrived at this latitude, everything has become different. It must be behind all this, but I'm not sure. If this group of apes smashes us to death with rocks, then I must have guessed wrong. But if it just threatens to take us somewhere, then it is clear that the Dark Lord is planning to deal with us. However, this testing method itself does not have any meaning." I said helplessly.

"It's okay. No matter what, I feel lucky to die here with you, Brother Zhou Bo." Su Yuexi said.

I couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

At this time, the overlord gorilla led many gorillas to jump down from the tree fork, straightened up, and bared his teeth at me, while the other four-armed white ape jumped in front of the nine-tailed white fox, ready to catch it. After all, the current nine-tailed white fox is not my Lingshang, it belongs to this world. Besides, just because of a few words, it believes that I am her future husband? This itself is a bit far-fetched.

So it sounded like she had intentions, but now she had absolutely no intention of living and dying with me. When being chased by the four-armed white ape and several other apes, she hastily dodged and knocked down one of them, opening a gap in the encirclement, and ran towards the dangerous jungle along the same route. After leaving a sentence "see you again if we're lucky" in my mind, she fled and I never saw her again.

The gorillas followed the four-armed white ape and chased it all the way, but the nine-tailed white fox moved so fast that they could not catch up at all and soon returned empty-handed.

All the gorillas that surrounded us were holding large stones in their hands and shouting, and it was hard to tell what they were doing for a moment. I could only hold a flat hoe in my hand to threaten them and not let them come near.

At this moment, the giant gorilla snatched my weapon with its huge arm, and used two fingers to apply force up and down, breaking it in half at once. There was a dull bang, and my eardrum hurt.

Its palm was much bigger than my entire head. Without the Golden Sword, I dared not confront it. So without a weapon, I could only let it do whatever it wanted. Just when I thought Su Yuexi and I would be killed by the rocks, it grabbed my shoulder and pulled me forward. I staggered and almost fell to my knees. I looked up at it and it whined twice, pounded its chest with its hands, and then turned and left.

Although I am not as good as Yunwen in understanding the language of all things, I still understand its simple meaning. It wants me to follow it. I don’t know whether I will be taken to sacrifice and refine corpses, or to the Dark Lord. However, neither is a good thing.

But if I don't leave, I'm afraid nothing good will happen. It wouldn't matter if I died, but if I also killed Su Yuexi, that would be a real sin.

We decided to be obedient and continued walking forward.

"It seems that you were just poisoned and stung, but not bitten to death immediately. This is because the Dark Lord did not want to kill both of us, but simply wanted to capture us alive and take us over." I said.

"Yes, I have heard of this mysterious person in Xidao, but I don't often come into contact with him. I have talked about him with your wife, Yunwen, before. I wonder if she has told you about him?" Su Yuexi asked.

"No, we think it's taboo to mention this person, so we don't talk about it often. You might as well tell me everything you said to Yunwen. I only know that before Fan Chong died, he called out this name. And before he died, a mysterious voice also came to me and asked me to submit to it." I said.

"This is indeed its sound. Yunwen told me before that you would use a black fish jade pendant every time you were in trouble, right? The sound should still come from there. The jade pendant came from a mysterious space cave. I have heard that there is such a jade pendant. It came from the Lord of Darkness and was hidden in the dark West Island area. I heard that every time that thing appears, a man-eating demon monster will appear, as if the jade pendant is the origin of the monster. In the past, many real people and immortals with some Taoist skills lived here. Later, they imprisoned and sealed the jade pendant together, and it has no movement." She said.

"No wonder there are so many monsters and demons imprisoned on this island. It seems that there were some powerful people here in the past, right?" I asked.

"To be powerful, it's also achieved through practice, just like you, Brother Zhou Bo. Think about it, did you have the ability you have now before coming to this island? There is elixir in your blood, and you can easily control the Golden Que Sword. To be honest, you have been chosen by this island a long time ago, and gradually assimilated with it. When they first came here, they were just like you, just mortals. It was only with a certain level of Taoism that they were able to accomplish those feats and call themselves immortals, just like how I came here." She said.

"You too?" I asked.

"Of course. Have you noticed any difference between you and me? It's just that I came here much earlier than you, and was lucky enough to meet the Mountain God, who has been protecting me. I also often go to West Island to drink the nectar of life, so I have been able to maintain my appearance and live to this day. I used to only be able to speak ancient Chinese, but later I gradually learned Mandarin. Anyway, I had nothing to do, and I had some talent for languages, so after meeting some survivors, I could almost speak it." She said.

"So, you are not a witch, but a mortal like me. But where did you get those witchcrafts? How can you ignore gravity and use it at will? Why can't you use it now? And those immortals and real people you mentioned, are they also mortals like you, and they have only been assimilated by this dream island and have such great powers?" I asked.

She nodded and said, "Almost. I just stayed here longer and lived longer, so I gave myself the title. My witchcraft comes from the gift of the mountain god. In addition, I keep a vegetarian diet and practice, so I can control puppets and adjust the gravity."

Now I slowly began to understand that the people who appeared on this island were not only from the Dragon-Seeking Camp, but also other explorers. As for the Dragon-Seeking Camp and those exploration teams, most of them had failed in their search for a way on the island, but there were also some who succeeded at the same time. I was not the precedent, but Su Yuexi and those she talked about were the precedents.

Those who successfully survive in this fantasy island are the real bosses of this island. After all, this island is the reality of dreams, so basically all the empty and illogical things can exist at the same time. And if one can accumulate and survive for a long time by relying on this, what's wrong with calling himself an immortal?

Just like Su Yuexi, he has already achieved immortality and has supernatural powers. This is the advantage of a successful survivor.

It turns out that the evil dragon, Mei Sanniang and the like were only sealed by such successful survivors. It's really a brain-opening idea! In this sense, the jade pendant was also sealed by them.

"So I have heard of the name of the Dark Lord. It is indeed a trouble. It is a big danger that perhaps all of us like me and other successful survivors cannot solve," she said.
