Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 86 - 12 Demon Tomb Dan Realm

On the Canglong Continent, there exists no notion of godly demons; Dark Practitioners adhere to Dark Power and the Heaven and Earth Laws.

In the history of the continent, records of godly demons are also rare, as if deliberately erased by someone. The term "demon" on the continent specifically refers to Dark Practitioners who have spiraled into the evil demonic path.

Ordinary Dark Practitioners cultivate Dark Power, but there is also a portion of Dark Practitioners who, during their cultivation, are beset by Heart Demons, ultimately falling into the demonic path.

The Dan Demon is one of the most notorious among them. How he died, and when he died, remains a mystery to this day.

The only thing known to the world is that the Dan Demon Tomb turned from a fertile land of plenty into a cursed swamp haunted by aggrieved spirits, all because of the emergence of the Dan Demon.

According to history books verified by the Shang Kingdom, the Dan Demon Tomb was originally known as the South Country Eighteen Towns, the dwelling place of eighteen Alien Race tribes in the region of the Southern Chiwei Sea.

About seven hundred years ago, a mysterious Pill Master of unknown appearance and origin appeared in the barbaric lands to the west of the Eastern Continent. With his own power, within seven days and nights, he poisoned nearly one hundred thousand people from eighteen minority tribes.

The fertile soil, soaked with blood and lethal poison, turned into a muddy Poison Swamp.

Bodies soaked in the Poison Swamp do not decay for a century, turning into unaging corpses that wander endlessly throughout the swamp.

It is unknown from when a saying began to circulate on the Eastern Continent—that the Dan Demon killed one hundred thousand people using a poison known as the Devil Crystal.

Whether the Devil Crystal is actually Elixir Pills, a type of stone, or a Dark Pill, evidence has yet to be found.

Over the centuries, many Pill Masters and Dark Practitioners ventured to the Dan Demon Tomb, either returning severely injured or dying in foreign land. Over time, that region became one of the few most dangerous places on the Eastern Continent, where even the most experienced mercenaries dare not enter rashly.

"If you are afraid, it's not too late to leave now," Lihua Xue, hearing the commotion, also hurriedly arrived at the campsite, and upon seeing Ni Qianjun patiently explaining to Yue Jinghua, she was instantly choked with anger.

"Afraid? With my noble stature, I might even become brothers with those unaging corpses once I'm there. It's Miss Hua Xue's delicate little face that worries me—it's as tender as lamb fat, and it'd be tragic if you accidentally got something dirty on it," Yue Jinghua mocked as she pretended to wave her finger in front of Lihua Xue's face.

Seeing Yue Jinghua's hideous half-face, Hua Xue's face twisted with disgust, yet upon looking at Ni Qianjun, she noticed he was completely unbothered, and even burst out laughing, his red hair stirring.

"Hua Xue, Yue Jing is inexperienced; don't scare her. Come on, I'll take you aboard to check out the famous Fire Dragon Sail," Ni Qianjun first ordered the camp to be organized, had all sorts of facilities packed up, and then directed everyone to board the ship.

Lihua Xue was furious. Just who is scaring whom here?

Several times she had wanted Ni Qianjun to give her a tour of the Fire Dragon Sail, only to have him fend her off with various excuses. But that ugly woman Yue Jinghua—she didn't know what tricks she used to win Ni Qianjun's favor.

Could it really be because of her legs?

If legs are what he likes, then let's see how she fares without hers. Lihua Xue sneered viciously and turned to walk towards Feng Buhui.

There are many modes of transportation on the Canglong Continent. Ordinary folks use horse-drawn carriages while slightly higher-level figures like the Gale Horse that Yue Jinghua previously used are for Dark Practitioners. There are the Four Directions Xuan Array and Dark Beasts exclusively used by Dark Practitioners. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The Four Directions Xuan Array is a kind of Dark Power transmission array; it only requires the use of Dark Pills for long-distance transportation, saving time and effort. The downside of this Dark Array is that the range of transmission is confined to places equipped with a Four Directions Xuan Array, and it requires a relatively stable operating environment. A perilous land like the Dan Demon Tomb does not have a Four Directions Xuan Array.

After boarding the Fire Dragon Sail, Yue Jinghua gained further understanding of the Rebellion Mercenary Group. This Fire Dragon Sail is the private ship of the Rebellion Mercenary Group, resembling a seafaring ship in shape.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the body of the Fire Dragon Sail is extraordinary. Every plank on the Fire Dragon Sail is made from century-old Parasol Wood, water-resistant and fireproof, with six main masts made from millennium-old Iron Wood, able to withstand hurricane assaults, and the sails are crafted from the skin of a Fifth-level Dark Beast Flying Black Bat, lightweight and durable. Gliding with the wind, it moves as swiftly as a flying shuttle.

The ship's speed during daylight can be compared with the F-class fighter jets of the United States. An ordinary Gale Horse needing half a year of day and night travel to reach the South Country Eighteen Towns. Aboard the Fire Dragon Sail, the journey only takes half a month.

What surprised Yue Jinghua the most was that the ship had several Xuandan Arrays engraved on it, including arrays for acceleration, protection, and shock absorption.
