157: Momoyama Choran

“Let’s go, we’ll continue up the mountain,” the Team Leader said indifferently. The body parts on the ground didn’t seem to affect him.

“You go if you want, I’m not going anymore!” The Bald Man, who had just been thrown into the body parts by the Team Leader, was already mentally broken, shouting and screaming as he ran around.

The Cowboy Man’s expression was grim: “Grab him, he absolutely cannot be allowed to go down the mountain!”

If this man went to the base and reported them, there was no doubt that even if they didn’t die, they would certainly not have an easy time.

The Middle-aged Man in a Suit had already pressed down on the man a step ahead.

“Let me go! You let me go! I don’t want to go up the mountain, I don’t want to go up the mountain!” The Bald Man was already timid, and after being forcefully thrown into the human fragments by the Team Leader, his mind was even closer to madness.

“Take him with us; he’ll be useful for scouting the way,” the Middle-aged Man in a Suit said with a cruel smile.

“Bugs! So many bugs! Hahaha! You’re all going to die! All going to die!” The Bald Man suddenly blurted out a nonsensical sentence.

“Hmph, useless. It seems this guy is really crazy,” the Cowboy Man said disdainfully.

But the Team Leader clearly didn’t think it was that simple, but since he wanted to go up the mountain, he naturally wouldn’t say anything negative.

Bang! The Middle-aged Man in a Suit suddenly swung his head, smashing it against a nearby rock!

“Haha, haha! Treasure! It’s an immortal medicine! A peerless immortal medicine! I’m going to become an immortal! Hahaha, I’m going to become an immortal!” The Middle-aged Man in a Suit frantically smashed his head against the stone, and crimson blood instantly flowed from his forehead. His crazed smile made everyone around him feel a bone-chilling coldness sweep over them.

“Is, is this really an immortal mountain?” The man holding the ginseng retreated in terror. At this moment, for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt that the ginseng in his hand also became strange.

For some reason, he lowered his head and looked at the ginseng.

The ginseng resembled a person, even having human facial features.

The ginseng suddenly smiled at him.

A high-pitched scream rang out, and the man holding the ginseng desperately threw it away: “It smiled! It just smiled at me!”

“Down the mountain, I want to go down the mountain! I want to go down the mountain!” The Tall Man beside him was also filled with fear and ran straight down the mountain.

The two lunatics struggled with astonishing strength, and there was another one smashing his head against a rock, with a pile of human fragments on the ground. The Tall Man had already run down the mountain.

The scene once again fell into chaos.

The situation that the Team Leader had maintained instantly collapsed, and everyone’s hearts were immediately filled with panic.

Even the Cowboy Man began to hesitate.

The Middle-aged Man in a Suit was still laughing maniacally, smashing his head against the stone, clearly not going to survive.

Just now, the Bald Man went crazy, and now the man who found the ginseng also went crazy.

One was yelling about bugs everywhere, man-eating bugs.

The other said the ginseng smiled at him, but everyone looked at the ginseng, and it didn’t even have a human shape.

For some unknown reason, a chill spread through everyone’s hearts.

What immortal mountain, what divine realm? This was clearly a ghost mountain!

“I’m going down the mountain!” The young man who had always been silent finally made a decision.

The Team Leader’s face beneath his mask darkened, showing obvious unwillingness.

The Middle-aged Man in a Suit was completely silent by now.

But just as it quieted down, screams came from the direction the Tall Man had left.

This time, the screams weren’t brief; they were continuous, like someone tearing their throat open, screaming as if their mouth would rip apart.

The Cowboy Man held down the Bald Man, his face grim: “Should we go take a look?”

“Let’s go!” The Team Leader took a deep breath and was the first to step forward.

The remaining few, seeing the Team Leader, the only one with extraordinary power, go, also hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at where the Tall Man was, the screams still hadn’t stopped.

When the group arrived, they saw the Tall Man screaming hysterically on the ground for no apparent reason, as if he was being tortured.

But there were clearly no wounds on his body! Nor were there any venomous insects or fierce beasts!

The group just stood there, watching the Tall Man struggle and scream on the ground.

Eventually, the Tall Man died.

The Cowboy Man squatted down and inspected him, his face filled with dread: “His vocal cords ruptured, his trachea is congested. He, he screamed so much that his throat tore, causing blood to choke his windpipe, coupled with excessive shouting leading to brain hypoxia, he suffocated to death!”

The calm wind brushed through the beautiful, picturesque mountain forest.

Eight people, this was the third death.

Two were still crazy: one was the Bald Man yelling about bugs, and the other was the man who said the ginseng smiled at him.

Now, only three were normal.

The Team Leader, who always wore a mask, the Cowboy Man, and the silent young man who spoke very little.

“I’m going down the mountain.” The silent young man’s face was expressionless, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

“I’ll go with you!” The Cowboy Man quickly followed, still gripping the Bald Man, clearly intending to use him to scout the way.

“Hehehe, the ginseng smiled, it smiled at me, did you see it?” The Middle-aged Man in a Coat grabbed the Team Leader and laughed, then suddenly ran towards the Cowboy Man, “Did you see it, hehe, a ginseng that can smile!”

The Team Leader was full of unwillingness, but he could only helplessly follow them down the mountain; he, too, was scared.

Not long after, all five people went down the mountain, but by the time they reached the bottom, they had all gone mad.

One kept shouting that the ginseng could smile, another yelled that the mountain was full of bugs.

The Cowboy Man continuously self-mutilated, seemingly trying to peel something out from under his skin.

The silent young man said nothing, remaining silent no matter what others asked, just sitting there blankly every day.

As for the Team Leader, his eyes were blind, his ears deaf, his left hand was gone, and his mouth could still speak, but he only spewed out, “I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong.”

Suddenly, the immortal mountain became a forbidden zone… Tang Ping appeared from the shadows. He did not kill these people; compared to killing them, fear was better for inspiring awe and keeping people away.

“The Ghost Spider Gu, Golden Ring Wasp Gu Worm, are still too few, and their levels are not high enough. This Peach Mountain needs more Gu,” a calm voice echoed through the picturesque forest.

No one expected that this mountain, which resembled a fairyland, concealed a hellish terror and horror.

Tang Ping began to collect materials, continuously refining Ghost Spider Gu, Golden Ring Wasp Gu Worm, and Red Heart Ant Gu, along with many other Gu Worms with bizarre killing methods that made people defenseless.

As for the base, it was rapidly being built.

As for the newcomers, as some people with ill intentions entered the mountain, they either went crazy or died, and even powerful Talent Users were no exception, which made people even more fearful. No one dared to talk about entering the mountain again.

Suddenly, this mountain became the taboo of Tianfu Base.

And this mountain was given a fitting name by the people in the base: Immortal Mountain of Anomalies.

However, although Peach Mountain, under Tang Ping’s operation, transcended the mundane, the power struggles within the base remained turbulent, where a slight misstep could lead to utter annihilation.

One base, two worlds.
