In this deep mountain, Saito Dosan built a residence leaning against the steep mountainside. Gu Mo knew very well that the residence was actually constructed to seal the entrance to the mountainside, because inside the mountain was hollow, containing a large natural cave space.

Although no one has ever seen its depths, nor does anyone know what the residence was built to hide, it still stirs the imagination. It's unclear when it started being called the "Viper's Sacred Domain".

Gu Mo had a similar impression of this place; it was full of snakes everywhere. Those creatures called Wet Women, with the upper bodies of women, long hair trailing to the ground, entirely wet, and the lower bodies of snakes' tails, were everywhere. A moment's carelessness could result in one of them suddenly descending from the sky, tightly constricting your body, then opening its blood-red mouth to bite off your head.

The final boss is also a giant snake demon...

Gathering his thoughts, he glanced at the monkey's face, then looked around to find that the soldiers were also very exhausted, and decisively ordered, "Let's head up first, then find a place to rest for a bit, everyone must be tired..."

To be honest, he also felt a bit tired, probably only Hidechika seemed unfazed.

The black-haired girl was still looking fresh, not even a little sweat on her; she appeared exactly as she did when they set out in the morning, her black hair fluttering in the wind, looking neat and composed.

The team began to move again, and as they proceeded, Gu Mo started taking stock of his gains along the way. This journey was just an appetizer; the real trouble in this scene was yet to come, so he had to prepare for the battle ahead, knowing what cards he held and when best to play them.

The useful items included four "Divine Waters", then the amount of "Gunpowder Bullet" increased to three, and a rare quality "Other Shore Flower", said to be something brought into the human world by a Demon Ghost from the Country of the World, truly a plant that grows in the Otherworld.

It can be used in medicine through special secret techniques, but if taken directly, it's highly toxic to humans, though it can replenish Demonic Power for demons, so he might consider giving it to Ah Xiu...

Apart from that, he also obtained an "Arrow-Deflecting Talisman", which was a small stroke of luck—

Because, according to the description, this is a lower substitute for the Wind-Repelling Talisman. When used, it can provide a temporary blessing to avoid arrow damage and other long-range attacks, though it can't reflect these attacks, it's still quite good. Gu Mo examined it for a while, feeling reluctant to use it.

Until he can craft such a Curse Talisman himself or master the Wind-Repelling Talisman, this item is actually more valuable than he imagined. Although it might not show its worth in the game, if he ever enters a Dungeon World involving modern warfare or gunfight elements, this would be very useful.

While pondering, he had already finished the last stretch of the mountain path and arrived at the grand entrance of the lavish residence.

The main door was wide open, and inside was a scene of chaos.

Just one step in, and the world instantly lost its color, the surrounding space turning to a nearly black-and-white tone, the unfamiliar sense of weight immediately spreading throughout his body.

Darkness!

Indicating that a powerful Demon Ghost lurked ahead!
