There were also many different types of corpse cores, ranging from low to high, with all sorts of different effects. According to Tang Rou, her ancestor had once met an evil Taoist and made a corpse king, then secretly found a hidden edge, a place to gather energy, and began refining corpse cores.

If Tang Rou's ancestors hadn't received this news in advance and joined hands to attack, then the peerless Pill King would have appeared out of nowhere and would have been able to change his fate. It had to be known that this method was enough to stir up Sky Fury, bringing down Sky Law.

If that happened, the human world would definitely fall into a situation where there was no chance of survival.

Of course, all of this was just a rumor. As for whether or not such a thing would really happen, it was still unknown.

Tang Rou and I had pretty much rested enough. It was just past midnight. Even though our clothes had already been roasted dry, the mountain breeze still carried a hint of coldness.

It might not be a problem for a man to sleep and eat in the wilderness, but Tang Rou, this spoiled girl, already found it hard to adapt to. She frowned.

It's a pity that the two of us don't know anything about this area. Tang Rou was only able to determine a general direction. Once we entered the mountain, there wouldn't be any eye-catching objects.

"Why don't we go and see if there are any villages nearby to stay the night?"

After I suggested this idea, Tang Rou hesitated for a bit and then nodded her head in agreement.

The previous group of people still hasn't appeared in our line of sight. I believe that they must have gone to another location somewhere different from us, so they didn't chase us down. This made Tang Rou and I feel a lot more at ease.

With the strength of the two of us, if we were to be targeted by the other party, it would probably be very difficult for us to escape.

The two of us, by the faint light of the moon, walked through the field and built a bridge, and there was a high hill ahead of us, so I sped up and ran up the hill country. I looked out to see if there was anything I could do, if there was a place to complain, even if there was a cave somewhere, it would stop the wind, and keep us from enduring the invasion.

When I was out of breath, I looked at the hill in front of O'Shang. Finally, I saw a village about two to three hundred meters away.

The size of the village was not that big, but there were a few flickering lights and there were quite a few of them.

Normally, I wouldn't light so many lanterns in a village like this one when painting in the middle of the night. However, at that time, I was anxious to find a place to complain, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Tang Rou stood next to me and looked into the distance.

"I didn't expect our luck to be so good. Although this village doesn't look like much, it should be able to help us find a place to complain. I wonder if there are any inns or something in this village."

Hearing Tang Rou's words, I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. How could there be an inn in a countryside, especially in a remote village? Tang Rou was probably used to living in a big city and didn't understand the customs of the people.

The general idea was that the distant scenery was very difficult to judge. Originally, they thought they could get there very quickly due to the close distance, but in reality, it was very far away from what they had imagined. There were a lot of things, especially when they saw the lights at night.

Tang Rou and I had been walking for more than half an hour when the strange village in front of us suddenly disappeared.

The reason for your description is because we could still see the lights of the village, which highlighted the general outline of the village. However, because we are in a low-lying area, everything in front of us is blocked.

"How much longer do we have to walk?"

Tang Rou was clearly impatient.

"We should be about there. We just need to climb over the hill in front of us."

I could only cheer for Tang Rou from the side. However, when the two of us finally climbed up the hill, I was once again dumbfounded because the lights in front of me had completely disappeared. It was as if they had never appeared.

"Did the two of us make a mistake just now? Could it be that a mirage can also appear in a place like this?"

I couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at Tang Rou.

"Mirage cannot appear in a place like this, and there's no fog here. Either the two of us were seeing things together, or …"

Tang Rou suddenly stopped talking. Her face was a bit pale.

I understand what Tang Rou means. Recently, the two of us have been dealing with those evil things. When we encounter something that's hard to understand, we would naturally contact each other at the first possible moment.

"I don't think so. It's already so late, so it's normal to not light the lamps. That village was originally hidden in the cove, and I can only find it after I get closer."

"Alright, I'll believe you again. It's been so long since we left anyway."

Tang Rou powerlessly hammered her own pair of long legs, then directly placed a hand on my shoulder.

This completely exceeded my expectations. Tang Rou's method of borrowing strength wasn't any sort of burden on me at all, but rather the soft arm that tickled my heart. It rested on my shoulder and a faint fragrance drifted into my nose.

Tang Rou and I quickly figured out why the village that was very obvious just moments ago suddenly disappeared. The reason was because there was actually a wall about three meters tall at the outskirts of the village.

After the wall closed in, it was enough to cover all the buildings in the village, especially the lights from before.
