Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4070

The Night View Island was no longer peaceful these days.

This was largely because the Glede Demon race had spread the news that the Red Demon race were sacrificing members of many races in exchange for the Arcana.

This had caused so much panic among the weaker races that they had abandoned their own territories and formed alliances.

Bacchus took advantage of the situation and extended an olive branch to these races. He won them over by claiming he could protect them. Then he asked them to gather in the land of the Glede Demon race to fight against the Red Demon race.

Of course, his protection would not come for free. These races had to hand over all the Arcana they had.

With this strategy, the Glede Demons accumulated a lot of Arcana in a short time, all while amassing the other races to their side.

This would increase the chances of victory for the Glede Demons should the Red Demons launch an attack.

Bacchus handed over all the Arcana he had plundered to Zen and escorted him and his group to the Ghost Mountain.

He wanted three Holy Stones in return.

The Holy Stones were great threats to the Treacherous Beings. Bacchus had to get them at all costs.

Zen agreed to his request.

Previously, he had killed three stone men in the underground cave and obtained three Holy Stones the size of beans. He gave them to the Snake Goddess, Fuxi and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and their own three stones, the size of grains of sand, were given to Bacchus.

Soon, daylight broke on the Night View Island.

The dawn found Zen and his companions climbing one last mountain with the Glede Demons before arriving at the Ghost Mountain.

As they neared the peak however, they noted something curious. Though there was nothing ahead to block their vision, they couldn't see the Ghost Mountain anywhere in the distance.

The empty expanse ahead left Zen and the others stumped. Both Decker and the Glede Demons said that the Ghost Mountain was here, however. They couldn't possibly be mistaken.

It was only when they crossed the peak line that a huge black shadow came into view.

It was a huge triangular mountain!

As Decker had said, the Ghost Mountain was protected by a special space rule. It could only be seen after they crossed the peak line.

The Ghost Mountain was largely outside the Night View Island, save for a part of its foot, which was connected to the island. A wide and straight path had been carved along this border.

The surface of the whole mountain was covered with irregular lines, which helped it absorb all light.

From this distance, the Ghost Mountain seemed to be floating in the dark sky.

"We need to go down and exchange the Arcana so we can enter the Ghost Mountain," Bacchus pronounced.

He spread his wings and glided down the mountain, leading his clansmen.

Zen and the others followed him down.

Eventually, they came upon two black monkey statues flanking the path.

Zen's expression changed slightly when he saw the statues.

It dawned on him the Ghost Mountain was probably related to the monkey spirits in the Four Spirits Sect.

"The way to enter the Ghost Mountain is very simple. Just feed the Arcana to the monkey statues," Bacchus explained.

As he said this, he took out his Arcana and stuffed them into the mouth of a monkey statue.

The statue opened its mouth like a living creature, devouring the Arcana bit by bit. Its eyes began to glow with a yellow light. A few moments later, its belly slowly opened and exposed a glazed sheet.

Bacchus took the sheet and held it up. "This is the key to entering the Ghost Mountain and to merging with the Treacherous Beings."

"I see. The statues melt the Arcana and then press them into thin sheets, correct?" Fuxi asked with a smile.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi had also realized the same thing. The monkey statues weren't too mysterious. They only had a flame rune which melted the Arcana in their mouths and turned them into the glazed sheets.

Bacchus nodded. "That's correct. But we can't enter the Ghost Mountain with just any glazed sheet. It is only through this mechanism we can get the special runes that we need."

He showed the glazed sheet to Zen, Fuxi, the Snake Goddess and the others.

There were indeed indecipherable circles of large and small runes on the surface of the transparent sheet.
