Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4049

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 Island was all about.

A large number of different races — close to a thousand — lived in the annular mountain range around the Night View Island.

It was weird but astonishing that so many races coexisted on such a small island.

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 a complicated 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 Island?

They had encountered a lot of sloth-shaped Treacherous Beings on their way to this mountain, which, according to Decker, was just the tip of the iceberg. The abundance of Treacherous Beings on the Night View Island 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 annular mountain range on the westernmost side of the Night View Island. There are a large number of friendly-type Treacherous Beings there. You'll see every kind you can think of," explained 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 accumulate enough Arcana to enter it."

"Why didn't we see such a mountain when we came out of the lake?" Zen asked.

Decker said, understanding dawning in his eyes, "You can only see it after you cross the annular mountain range. You can't see it from the center of the island."

Zen was still doubtful. He turned around and asked, "Master Campbell, is the annular mountain range the only highland on the Night View Island?"

They had seen the island's terrain once they had emerged from the lake. 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 annular mountain range shapes the edges of the Night View Island. There is nothing but a void beyond the annular mountain range," said Campbell with conviction.

At this, Zen's eyes turned cold. "You were lying to us," he said, turning to glare 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 island. 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 relaxed 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.

According to Campbell, the world beyond the Pure Sky Platforms 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 his composure. "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?"
