The number of Black Ghouls emerging would only continue to increase.
The reason I'm here is precisely to hunt down these Black Ghouls.
My younger brother, who's more capable than me, has gone into the Black Mist Zone to investigate why these Black Ghouls are escaping.
If the problem isn't resolved, this entire Mist Island might fall into danger.
You'd better leave this place quickly."
Hearing Wu Dalang's words, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned. Now he finally understood some of the circumstances occurring within Mist Island.
So there was unusual activity in the Black Mist Zone.
At this moment, an entry from the Myriad Islands Illustrated Handbook surfaced in Luo Feng's mind:
Black Commander.
Could this disturbance be related to Black Commander?
Luo Feng didn't dwell on it too much—such matters required personal investigation to know for sure.
He certainly wouldn't consider leaving just because he feared these Black Ghouls.
Even if he encountered a level 6 Black Ghoul and couldn't defeat it, he should still be able to protect himself without much danger.
With this in mind, Luo Feng said, "Thank you for your concern.
However, I have no intention of retreating.
I'm extremely interested in these Black Ghouls.
Moreover, you've just witnessed my capabilities.
Dealing with these Black Ghouls poses no problem whatsoever.
Right now, I have other matters to attend to.
After I finish, I'll come to Verdant Grassland to find you.
I hope you won't turn me away then."
Hearing this, Wu Dalang immediately laughed and said, "Since you've put it that way, I won't try to persuade you further.
Your arrival at Verdant Grassland would make you an incredibly powerful ally for us.
How could we possibly not welcome you?
If you truly come to Verdant Grassland to assist us,
we can offer you an opportunity to obtain an Inheritance."
Luo Feng's interest was immediately piqued when he heard about an Inheritance.
He was quite familiar with Inheritances—Tang Xuewei had previously obtained the Snow Goddess's Inheritance.
However, he was somewhat puzzled—what kind of Inheritance could Verdant Grassland possibly have?
With a slightly doubtful expression, he asked,
"I'll definitely go.
Could you give me a hint about what kind of Inheritance it is?
That way I can prepare accordingly."
Wu Dalang pondered for a moment before replying,
"Our common enemy is the Black Ghouls, so there's no harm in telling you.
Mist Island isn't just home to these Black Ghouls.
There are also other Colored Ghouls.
In the Green Mist Zone where Verdant Grassland is located, there are Green Fiends as well.
These Green Fiends frequently attack animals.
Without special means, we animals wouldn't be able to survive in Verdant Grassland.
Some of us animals can cultivate Breathing Techniques, which we combine with Fiend Slayer Blades.
This makes us highly effective at killing these Colored Ghouls.
The blade I carry is precisely a Fiend Slayer Blade.
I practice the Beast Breathing Technique.
As for the village chief of Sheep Village, Kuai Yangyang, he practices the Wind Breathing Technique.
If you enter Verdant Grassland,
we can provide you with an opportunity to obtain a Breathing Technique."
"Whether you can obtain a breathing technique, and what kind of breathing technique you'll get—all of this depends entirely on your destiny. Given the current situation, this is all I can tell you. I hope you can understand."
After hearing Wu Dalang's words, Luo Feng couldn't help but take a sharp breath. He hadn't expected the Verdant Grassland to hold so many secrets. Breathing techniques? The Fiend Slayer Blade? Why did this sound so similar to the themes of an anime he'd watched before? It seemed the designers of the Ocean World game drew inspiration from a wide range of sources.
Now that Luo Feng knew such treasures existed, he certainly wouldn't let them slip away. With this thought, he smiled faintly and said, "I understand all of this. Since you're being so sincere, I'll definitely go. However, I can't leave with you right now. I still have some personal matters to attend to."
Wu Dalang returned Luo Feng's smile and replied, "I'm not planning to return to the Verdant Grassland yet either. I need to keep hunting down these Black Ghouls. We can't let them run rampant and slaughter indiscriminately. Normally, these ghouls rarely attack other creatures once they've hunted enough. But these Black Ghouls are different—their hunger is endless, and the more they eat, the stronger they become. When they first escaped, most were only Level 2, with a few at Level 3. Now, they've all reached Level 4. Their growth rate is alarmingly fast. I can't stay here chatting any longer—I must continue the hunt. Until we meet again. I look forward to seeing you in the Verdant Grassland."
With that, Wu Dalang wasted no more time and immediately took off.
Luo Feng watched his retreating figure, wanting to say one last thing but ultimately holding back. Silently, he took out the Legendary Item, the Green Hat, and glanced toward Wu Dalang in the distance. He didn't detect any green energy hovering over Wu Dalang's head. It seemed Luo Feng had been overthinking things—this Wu Dalang wasn't that Wu Dalang. Given how powerful this Wu Dalang was, no ordinary wolf would dare approach his wife.
Luo Feng had been so stunned by Wu Dalang's revelations that he forgot to ask one crucial question: Was there a Ximen Lang in the Verdant Grassland? If so, Luo Feng would have to warn him to stay vigilant.
Soon, Wu Dalang disappeared from sight. Luo Feng withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen.
As a native of the Ocean World, the Merfolk Queen naturally knew nothing about Wu Dalang. Aside from mild surprise at his words, she had no particular reaction.
But Tang Xuewei was different. She was a true-blue Chinese. Even if she hadn't personally read or watched any adaptations of Pan Jinlian, she had certainly heard of them countless times. In the entertainment industry, it was a massive IP—new films and dramas based on the story popped up every year.
Tang Xuewei, who often browsed the internet, had come across plenty of movie titles related to Pan Jinlian. Even now, just thinking about them made her speechless.
I Am Not Pan Jinlian. I Am Pan Jinlian. You're the Real Pan Jinlian. Hello, Pan Jinlian. Assassinate Pan Jinlian.
Tang Xuewei couldn't help but admire the creativity of these scriptwriters and directors. They would really film anything to make money.
Noticing Luo Feng looking at her, a faint smile appeared on her face as she said, "I never expected to run into Wu Dalang here.
Should we continue our search for the Soul-Bewitching Fruit now?"
