Chapter 4049 A Trace Of Humans
Fuxi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the others raised several more questions.
Once these questions were answered, they had a basic understanding of what the Night View Ind
was all about.
Arge number of different races — close to a thousand — lived in the annr mountain range around
the Night View Ind.
It was weird but astonishing that so many races coexisted on such a small ind.
One or two races were present on almost every mountain here. These races were mainly divided into
three tiers and the Wooden Leaf race was among the weakest ones.
The Wooden Leaf race knew their limitations and rarely came into conflict with other races. That was
how they had survived in such aplicated environment.
"Did you capture your Treacherous Beings in the mountains?" Fuxi asked.

The Snake Goddess and the others were concerned at Fuxi''s question, given that it was an important
one. Why were there so many Treacherous Beings on the Night View Ind?
They had encountered a lot of sloth-shaped Treacherous Beings on their way to this mountain, which,
ording to Decker, was just the tip of the iceberg. The abundance of Treacherous Beings on the
Night View Ind was way beyond their imagination.
Decker shook his head and said, "Most Treacherous Beings in the mountains are weak and the
powerful ones are mainly the killing type. The killing type also likes Arcana and will kill you to plunder
your Arcana. They''re not suitable for warriors to merge with. Our Treacherous Beings came from the
Ghost Mountain."
"Ghost Mountain?" Fuxi raised an eyebrow in interest.
"There is a huge Ghost Mountain beyond the annr mountain range on the westernmost side of the
Night View Ind. There are arge number of friendly-type Treacherous Beings there. You''ll see every
kind you can think of," exined Decker.
Confused and curious, Fuxi asked, "Are you saying that you can freely enter the Ghost Mountain and
choose a Treacherous Being?"
Decker shook his head again and answered, "We can''t enter the Ghost Mountain at will. We need to
umte enough Arcana to enter it."
"Why didn''t we see such a mountain when we came out of theke?" Zen asked.
Decker said, understanding dawning in his eyes, "You can only see it after you cross the annr
mountain range. You can''t see it from the center of the ind."
Zen was still doubtful. He turned around and asked, "Master Campbell, is the annr mountain range
the only hignd on the Night View Ind?"
They had seen the ind''s terrain once they had emerged from theke. There was nothing but the
lake at its center and a circle of mountains around it. They would have noticed it if there was a huge
Ghost Mountain around there!
"As far as I know, the annr mountain range shapes the edges of the Night View Ind. There is
nothing but a void beyond the annr mountain range," said Campbell with conviction.
At this, Zen''s eyes turned cold. "You were lying to us," he said, turning to re at Decker.
Pearson hooked his fingers and the silver thread tightened around Decker''s neck, cutting into his skin.
Blood quickly began to drip from the wound.
"No, please no! It hurts!" Decker screamed hysterically at the sharp pain. "I told no lies! All that I said is
true! You can ask our patriarch if you don''t believe me!"
Graham spoke up hastily. "Yes, yes!" he said. "The Ghost Mountain has been floating outside the
ind. You can only see it once you climb over the circle of mountains. You can send someone to have
a look at it and verify what we''re saying!"
At Decker''s and Graham''s earnest looks, Pearson rxed the silver thread on his fingertips. "They
don''t look like they''re lying," he said.
"Is there really a Ghost Mountain?" the Snake Goddess said thoughtfully.
ording to Campbell, the world beyond the Pure Sky tforms was full of Void Dust, which could
devour all substances and energies.
Campbell had also mentioned that he knew a way of roaming through the Void Dust. This involved
using the Spiritual Boat. He didn''t say what material the Spiritual Boat was made of. So she surmised
that the Ghost Mountain was probably formed by the same substances as the Spiritual Boat, which was
probably why it could also roam through the Void Dust.
"Let''s put this question aside for the time being," Zen said, quickly regaining hisposure. "When I
mentioned the human race yesterday, you said that you hadn''t seen any before. Let me ask you once
again. Have you ever seen any other humans before us?"
This was what they were most concerned about. After all, they were here to find the human heroes.
Decker hesitated.
"Answer him!" Pearson barked.
Decker then admitted hesitantly, "I met a human once before. A tall and sturdy human male. He sat on
a fire lotus, mes in his eyes. Beside him was a Treacherous Being that looked like a fiery-dragon and
appeared to be very powerful. This man burned up more than ten mountains and annihted the
Thunder race and the White Bone race, which were at the pinnacle of their forces at the time."
"We didn''t know how the Thunder race and the White Bone race had provoked him. His fire was so
tremendous that two mountains melted intova and flowed into theke," added Graham. He had also
witnessed this terrifying scene. The fire hadn''t extinguished for several days after that.
The Thunder race and the White Bone race used to be two ruling races on the Night View Ind. They
were far more powerful than small races like the Wooden Leaf race, but that human had destroyed
them so easily!
A human male...
Using formidable mes...
Tall and sturdy...
Sitting on a fire lotus...
These descriptions reminded everyone of the same person. The Snake Goddess and the others turned
to look at Zen, knowing that that man''s energy soul existed in Zen''s body.
Zenmunicated with his inner world for a while before a vague figure appeared above his head. Zen
pointed at the figure and asked, "Is he the man you were talking about?"
Zhurong''s figure gradually became clear. It was only half his body and the aura of the energy soul was
not so strong as his real self, but Decker''s and Graham''s faces went sheet-white at the sight of him.
"W-what?!"
"Yes! That''s him! Why is he inside your body?"
Decker and Graham looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Zhurong looked proud as he watched these members of the Wooden Leaf race stumble over their
words in horror and awe. It looked like his real self still enjoyed great fame on the Night View Ind.
Decker would not have dared attack these strangers if he had known of this before.
"Where is this man on the Night View Ind now?" Zen asked.
Decker shook his head again. "I don''t know. But I guess he''s somewhere in the Ghost Mountain. All
truly powerful figures on the Night View Ind are over there and this master is no exception."
"In that case, it''s time for us to go," Eastern Emperor Taiyi suggested.
The Snake Goddess''s eyes swept the outside of the cave. She flicked two of her fingers and two tiny
shadows appeared at her fingertips. These were energy parasites transformed from the shadow of
Snake Goddess.
She stuffed them into Decker''s and Graham''s mouths and warned them, "Tell your people to behave
themselves."
The energy parasites would keep moving in their bodies. It would take at least three months for the
energy to be depleted. During this time, the Snake Goddess could cause them to explode with just a
thought if she thought Decker and Graham were out of line.
The other members of the Wooden Leaf race had long sinceid siege outside the cave. They had
bows and arrows in their hands, strong auras of Treacherous Beings emanating from their arrows, and
ready tounch their attacks.
"Everyone! Please put down your weapons!" Decker shouted.
But nobody heeded him. Decker''s prestige was not enough to order them around.
Graham took a deep sigh and said, "Put down your weapons. They are not someone you can match.
Don''t bring disaster upon our race."
The leader of the Wooden Leaf race had realized that their whole race would not be a match for this
group of humans. Decker should never have provoked them.
