"Why doesn't Brother Nightmare have to haul stuff?"

"Sorry, I don't have a physical form."

"..."

At the edge of a meadow dotted with greenery despite the approaching winter, a row of Fierce Ghost Minions were continually hauling supplies out.

Among them, Puppet Ghost was shouting about the unfairness.

Wu Liang walked over and slapped it on the head, pointing to the Primitive Forest not far away, "If you can level this forest, you won't have to carry anything. Can you do it? If not, then just carry what you have obediently!"

The off-road vehicle had a huge reserve of fuel, and the colossal beast had driven for two full days to reach the edge of this Primitive Forest.

However, going further was already beyond where vehicles can enter; inside the Primitive Forest, there were no roads fit for driving.

Thus, Wu Liang had to carry the supplies step by step, one footprint at a time, upward.

In fact, speaking of normal distance,

The off-road vehicle should have reached this position in just one afternoon.

Unfortunately, with countless supernatural blockades, every ten minutes of driving forward necessitated stopping to handle supernatural incidents. Not to mention, some supernatural blockades would occasionally shift geography like around the Celestial Pool.

To tell the truth, reaching this place within two days involved a bit of luck.

"Is this big treasure just left here?"

Puppet Ghost looked back wistfully at the deeply buried off-road vehicle, hidden by Wu Liang and Kitchen Knife Ghost, missing it immensely.

"Don't worry, no normal Awakened can approach this place; it'll take someone strong like Minister Long to reach here. The car hidden here for half a year likely won't go missing, as Fierce Ghosts wouldn't be interested in stealing a Humvee for racing, right?" Wu Liang reassured.

Only Wu Liang could casually abandon a vehicle like this.

After all, even though he ventured into the mountains alone, he equaled an entire mountaineering team.

Except for Brother Nightmare and Thunder Ghost, other Fierce Ghosts could take physical form to help carry supplies and sleeping bags.

Although Puppet Ghost complained endlessly, Fierce Ghosts wouldn't actually feel muscle fatigue or similar physiological issues.

Thus, Wu Liang essentially had an entire team of tireless logistics personnel!

"Enough already, stop whining, haven't you been the one eating the most over the past two days?" Kitchen Knife Ghost grumbled, carrying two large barrels of fresh water.

"Stop making false accusations, I've shared quite a bit with them too. Look around, who's not just one step away now?" Puppet Ghost retorted.

Everyone actually agreed with him on this.

Although the past two days were filled with dealing with supernatural incidents, seeing all kinds of strange Fierce Ghosts, it wasn't without gains.

Just as Puppet Ghost had said—now, among Wu Liang's minions, besides the Fierce Ghosts that have reached City-Destroying Level, all others possessed the highest strength of the Red Robe Level.

Basically, they're just one step away from entering City-Destroying Level.

Unfortunately, that last step elusively refused to pass, as if lacking a crucial catalyst.

Clack—

While chatting, a group, consisting of one person and several ghosts, stepped into the Primitive Forest. As soon as Wu Liang set foot on the ground covered with autumn-yellow leaves, a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Enough chatting, let's get to work."

Bang bang bang—

Large and small bundles of supplies were orderly stacked under a tree by the Fierce Ghost Minions, disappearing around to begin their search.

Indeed, they've entered the realm of supernatural blockades again!

The recent Heavenly Mountain and Celestial Pool trip had heightened Wu Liang's sensitivity to Fierce Ghost aura and supernatural blockade to the extreme, such that even a slight unusual breeze he could sense as stepping into some Fierce Ghost's territory.

Whoosh—rumble—

The dead wood behind suddenly swung its branches like a whip at Wu Liang's forehead, and with a booming sound, struck the ground, leaving a long dent.

Sidestepping, Wu Liang casually crushed a branch with a snap beneath his foot.

Kitchen Knife Ghost's figure also appeared behind the dead wood, delivering a chop that cleft it in half.

The nearly ten-meter-tall tree crashed down, but the ghosts continued searching for Fierce Ghost traces.

Obviously, this wasn't the main body, as the supernatural blockade still persisted.

The next second, all the trees within sight started creaking, twisting and struggling as if granted life.

In an instant, Wu Liang seemed trapped in an enchanted land from a fairy tale, even vaguely seeing faces of agony and cries emerging on the tree trunks.

"Ah... stay and join us..."

"Nature will never forgive you..."

"I'm in such pain, save me..."

"..."

The agonized faces all looked at Wu Liang, perpetually voicing their suffering, like a mental pollution auditory nightmare, the longer heard, increasingly painful in the mind.

Yet they mostly conveyed one meaning—to keep him here forever.

Faced with such extensive supernatural phenomena, Wu Liang sighed helplessly.

"Honestly, the Primitive Forest is quite beautiful. I really don't want to destroy its environment... But if you insist, aren't you overestimating my limits?"

With that, the Thunderbird landed on Wu Liang's shoulder, as disciplined as a soldier.

Meanwhile, Mist Ghost intuitively enveloped a wide area of trees with mist, gradually morphing into black clouds.

Rumble—

The black clouds pulsated with flickering electric charges, ready to unleash.

Swish swish swish—

The surrounding twisted trees perhaps sensed an impending danger, attempting preemptive strikes with branches towards Wu Liang.

Yet, before contacting Wu Liang's body, the clouds exploded.

Boom—

Numerous lightning strikes roaring with a celestial wrath interwove through the Primitive Forest, ceaselessly cleaving branches and tree trunks.

Most notably, although the lightning charred the trees, a few ignited with sparks.

As more trees were struck by lightning, the area consumed by flames expanded.

Within mere seconds, all trees Wu Liang could see had ignited.

Puppet Ghost cheekily jumped out and said, "Setting the mountain ablaze, doing time eternally, careful you don't end up in court, boss..."

"Heh, let it try living to sue first."

As the once peaceful and mysterious Primitive Forest gradually transformed into a sea of fire, Wu Liang merely casually took out a bag of chips from the supplies, munching away.

He was waiting for the Fierce Ghost's main body to be driven out by flames.

Smoking would feel more fitting here, but not being a smoker, he could only munch chips to kill time.

"Something's wrong, both this forest and the preceding Bogda Peak have issues, why isn't there a City-Destroying Level supernatural blockade here?"

Having Fierce Ghosts block the way was expected, but this place only had Red Robe Level Fierce Ghosts... it seemed overly simplistic.

Logically, there should be a City-annihilating Fierce Ghost here too, otherwise why wouldn't Queen Mother of the West also claim this forest and mountain as her domain?

"Where did the City-annihilating Ghost here go?"
