I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2403 - 2402: Monsters, the Appointed Meeting

Xu Zimei, after leaving the Torrent, arrived at a great mountain.

The mountain had few inhabitants, making it the most concealable place.

However, this mountain was not as imagined, with lush trees, jagged rocks, and shaded by dense foliage.

The whole mountain seemed to have been scorched by a massive wildfire.

The mountain body was bare, the trunks were charred black, and the rocks were bizarrely shaped and peculiar.

We cannot imagine how large the wildfire was at the time, but in any case, this mountain was a dead mountain.

Xu Zimei stepped into the air, rising to stand atop the mountain peak, gazing downward.

From the mountain's base, he saw wisps of smoke rising, with scattered farmers occasionally living in the mountain.

It's hard to imagine these farmers being able to continue living within the dead mountain.

Xu Zimei took out the Jade Token in his hand.

This Jade Token was given by the Lord of the Dead Spirits, to be used for communication with the Holy Emperor.

At that moment, Xu Zimei activated the Jade Token.

A very faint strand of Space Power emerged from it.

The counterpart of the Jade Token seemed to be waiting for a response.

At that moment, as Xu Zimei opened the Jade Token.

Space Power instantly crafted words over there, transmitting them over.

"Demon Lord?"

"Which Holy Emperor are you?" Xu Zimei transmitted the message likewise.

Using this Jade Token was quite peculiar.

Powers used Space Power as if sending texts over thousands of miles.

The opposite party was sufficiently cautious.

Not answering Xu Zimei's question.

Instead said: "Give me your location, I'll come find you and discuss matters face to face."

Xu Zimei looked around, indeed he didn't know where this dead mountain was.

He then took a step into the air.

One moment he was at the mountain's peak, the next he was in the middle of the mountain.

When Xu Zimei appeared in front of the farmer's house.

He saw only three families with houses, old grass houses and mountain caves.

In the mountainside area, they even planted wheat and other grains.

This piqued Xu Zimei's interest.

At the farmer's doorstep, sat an elder.

Lying in a wooden made grandpa chair, gently rocking his body, looking quite at ease.

"Old man, I'd like to ask you for directions," Xu Zimei approached and said.

The elder opened his eyes.

Looked at Xu Zimei, startled at first.

Then laughed, "Outsider, didn't expect outsiders would come to this mountain valley."

"Occasionally traveled here, lost my way, what's this place?" Xu Zimei asked.

"This is Rock Mountain," the elder said.

"Underneath the mountain is a living volcano, which revives every so often."

"A thousand miles of molten lava like rolling Changhe, causing no living things within a hundred miles."

"Such a dangerous place, old man are you truly settled here?" Xu Zimei laughed while telling the Holy Emperor in the Jade Token the name of Rock Mountain.

This Rock Mountain should be quite famous, the other party might have heard of it.

Only replied Xu Zimei with two words.

"Wait for me!"

With not much to do temporarily, Xu Zimei chatted with the elder.

"Though dangerous, there's no one to disturb."

The elder laughed in response.

"I'm used to living here, peaceful is good, it's just us, could the volcano be more dangerous than those outside people?"

To the elder's words, Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

As the saying goes, any danger in the world does not compare to the word 'human nature'.

And then, the elder said: "Outsider, since you're here, it's fate."

"Come stay for a night, we'll host you well."

Xu Zimei nodded, agreeing.

A while later, the elder's son and daughter-in-law returned.

His son looked robust, wearing a vest full of muscles.

And the daughter-in-law's hair was very long, almost covering half her face.

Seeing an outsider, the two appeared very enthusiastic.

"Today we caught a rabbit while hunting," his son smiled.

"Perfect timing for the guest to feast."

By then, the skies were gradually dimming.

In the sky, stars twinkled.

His son disemboweled the rabbit, roasting it on a fire rack.

Before long, the aroma filled the air.

"Guest, please try it," his son handed over the roast rabbit with a simple smile.

Xu Zimei didn't hold back.

He took the rabbit and started eating.

As the family of three watched Xu Zimei, their eyes harbored unfathomable emotions.

Watching Xu Zimei, one by one, they started to salivate.

"Sir, is it good?" the elder asked.

"Not bad, do you want some?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Eat, eat, of course we want to eat."

Without waiting for the elder to speak, the young man suddenly flashed a ghostly light in his eyes, directly lunging at Xu Zimei.

But the next moment, Xu Zimei's movement was even quicker.

He abruptly thrust the remaining bone he had been eating.

"Puff..."

The sharp bone pierced straight into the young man's throat.

The young man's eyes widened, seeming extremely unwilling, emitting a piercing sound from his mouth.

"When... when did you discover."

"Discover what?"

Xu Zimei asked.

"Discovered you are not human, or is it that there is something wrong with the rabbit you gave me?"

What was initially a horrific event, when said by Xu Zimei, seemed like a very calm matter.

Appearing harmonious and friendly family of three, along with those sprouting wheat.

Seemed to remind one of hidden villagers.

Yet Xu Zimei saw through it at first glance.

These three were ghostly entities.

Ghosts are spirits within the mountain, a very peculiar creature of the world.

They feed on various things.

Could be flowers, plants, trees, or perhaps soil and even stones.

The so-called volcano, was merely a distraction.

This mountain became a dead mountain because everything here was consumed by them.

They disguised as ordinary people, luring passersby here to become food.

During the day, the elder guarded the house, while a man and woman lured people.

At night, they moved together.

Just that they didn't expect, such a remote place, that Xu Zimei as prey would voluntarily come.

...…

The young man looked at the bone in his throat, struggled a few more times, eventually fell down unwillingly.

The next moment, the young man's human form vanished, replaced by a ghostly corpse with dark skin, green eyes, and fangs.

Seeing the youth killed, the elder and woman beside screamed too, and pounced towards Xu Zimei.

From start to finish with the two, Xu Zimei did not hold back.

He directly picked up the fire rack roasting the rabbit, skewered their bodies like candied fruits, then tossed them into the fire pile.
