Chapter 2466: Chapter 1882: The Fuse (Double-Length Chapter) (Part 2)

"This passage is quite special, filled with powerful illusions along the way. Only by killing them can we hope to open the passage. If it were just me, there’d be no chance at all."

"Damn, how many illusions are there?"

Upon hearing Shuxin Naturally speak so, the Crane That Doesn’t Dance immediately sensed something was off and couldn’t help but grumble to himself.

"A total of over ten thousand monsters, eighty-one bosses, the rest are small monsters."

Shuxin Naturally patiently explained, "There are nine major checkpoints in total, each containing nine branches. Only by clearing out all the monsters in each branch can we enter the next checkpoint. This is the most reliable way to break through, the only downside is that it takes time."

"That’s so troublesome?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s face turned very ugly. Killing over ten thousand illusions, how long would that take?

"There’s no choice, this is the most reliable method. Once the passage is opened, there’s no way to close it from the outside."

Shuxin Naturally looked calmly at Crane That Doesn’t Dance, "This is a once-and-for-all solution. Don’t complain about the trouble. Ghost King Sabi will give us rich rewards, maybe even a high-ranking official title in the Ghost Clan! Then, when the Ghost Realm commands the God-Demon Continent, we’ll be under one and above thousands, with armies at our disposal, none daring to disobey!"

"Sounds nice, but Ghost King Sabi isn’t stupid!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance didn’t take it seriously at all. What title? Even if Ghost King Sabi offered, the system wouldn’t allow it; it’s simply impossible. They still want to fool people, thinking he’s a child?

"Let me show you the task."

Shuxin Naturally didn’t argue with this guy. He sent the task screenshot to Crane That Doesn’t Dance, especially the reward part, without hiding anything.

"Damn, the shorter the time, the higher the reward? We can really get high-level titles? That’s impressive!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s breathing grew heavier, and he exclaimed, "Han, hurry and lead the way. There’s no time to waste. I want to clear this Ghost Clan passage within a month! If I can get the title of Ghost King, that’ll be awesome!"

"Ghost King title? You wish. Having the Ghost King award you the title of Ghost King, it retires?"

Shuxin Naturally sneered, "Nobody thinks you’re stupid if you don’t speak; just focus on the task!"

"The task clearly states that the shorter the completion time, the higher the reward. Becoming Ghost King isn’t out of the question!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance was completely stimulated, like being injected with chicken blood, excitedly saying, "Quickly do the task, strive to finish it within a month!"

...

A year later.

"Damn, these illusions are childish; when will all this killing end?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance felt an urge to weep. From the moment he took on this task, he dared not rest. He’s been killing for a whole year without finishing, and his heart bleeds...

After such a long delay, the reward will surely shrink greatly. Forget Ghost King; even Ghost Monster might be out of reach, right?

(In Ghost Clan rank hierarchy, Ghost Minor is the lowest, Ghost Monster follows.)

"Almost there."

Shuxin Naturally commanded the Bone-eating Beast to attack the illusions, her cold expression unchanged. Being able to hold out this long was partly for task completion, and the experience points from these illusions were quite substantial; leveling up here was indeed a good choice.

"You said the same thing six months ago; now it’s been a year, and you still say so. Are you treating me like a fool?"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance was incredibly annoyed, almost wanting to go berserk. The experience points here were indeed numerous, but one can’t train every day, can they?

To put it badly, eating fish and meat every day also becomes tiresome; let alone a whole year.

"What’s the rush; this is the final stage, kill this boss and it’s over."

Shuxin Naturally glanced at the darkness ahead and spoke calmly, "You’ve reached the end; if you give up now, all past efforts are wasted, and you gain nothing!"

"Then I’ll trust you one last time!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance didn’t want to give up the chance to gain titles; he picked up his spirits again and rushed toward the illusion boss ahead. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This kill lasted three days.

Compared to the year-long time, these three days were nothing at all. Just as Shuxin Naturally said, once the boss was down, the task token dropped out. Shuxin Naturally picked it up, and the two hurriedly returned to the Ghost King Hall to report to Ghost King Sabi.

"Hahaha, good, good!"

Ghost King Sabi looked at the token in his hand, laughed heartily three times, nodded in satisfaction, and praised, "You’ve made a great contribution! The Ghost Clan can finally return to the God-Demon Continent!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance lowered his head but kept glancing at Ghost King Sabi. Seeing its excitement, his heart eased considerably. It seemed that a year wasn’t too long, and the rewards should be substantial.

Ghost King Sabi felt deeply emotional, spoke many words to inspire the ghost heart, yet didn’t mention rewards. Crane That Doesn’t Dance felt his neck grow sore but dared not go against it, obediently stood still.

"The rise of the Ghost Clan is imminent. By this king’s decree, you two are appointed Right and Left Generals, each leading ten thousand ghost minors to occupy God-Demon Continent territories, open more Ghost Clan passages, and earn more honor points, which can be exchanged with this king for rewards!"

After finishing his sentiments, Ghost King Sabi finally rewarded the two with decent titles and control over ten thousand ghost minors.

This greatly exceeded Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s expectations—he looked at Ghost King Sabi in surprise, quickly pledged allegiance, made signs, flattered for a while, and then left the Ghost King Hall contentedly.

"Han, this time, I really benefited from you; this year wasn’t wasted!"

"Don’t be happy too soon; if Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained forcibly transports you to the Life and Death Arena, all ten thousand ghost minors will be taken down, and you might end up in prison!"

"Damn, don’t mention that jinx when I’m in a good mood!"

Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s expression froze instantly; Shuxin Naturally spoke the truth, which he couldn’t refute. This was indeed a big problem, like a ticking time bomb always poised to explode, filling him with regret and resentment. Why bet with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? Now he’s subdued, with no temper.

However, this is just temporary; once the Ghost Clan succeeds in turning the tide and becomes the sole dominator of the God-Demon Continent, there’ll be a time when Spilt Water comes asking him for favors!

The tables will turn, and the Ghost Clan will rise one day!

Shuxin Naturally and Crane That Doesn’t Dance couldn’t stand each other; now that the Ghost Clan passage is open, it’s time to move to the God-Demon Continent. They opted to go their separate ways.

Crane That Doesn’t Dance led ten thousand ghost minors and sneaked back to the God-Demon Continent, only to find that the place connected by the Ghost Clan passage was indeed the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Taking advantage of Shuxin Naturally’s absence, he immediately seized the surrounding territory, covering it with Ghost Curse toxic mist. Large areas of trees withered, and even the birds and beasts were driven away, posing no difficulty at all.

After becoming Right General, Crane That Doesn’t Dance gained the ability to release Ghost Curse toxic mist, a perfect tool for expanding territory, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.

In less than a day, Crane That Doesn’t Dance occupied half of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, inevitably encountering players leveling up. Unable to shut these players up, even killing them wouldn’t help; after all, the news still leaked.

The Ghost Clan’s invasion of the God-Demon Continent isn’t a trivial matter; soon it became headline news. The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts became a gathering place for large numbers of players eager to see how the Ghost Clan would conquer it. If they could annihilate all these Ghost Clan troops, it would certainly be a great achievement, entitling them to hefty rewards from the Human Emperor.

The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts became the flashpoint between humans and ghosts; whether the Ghost Clan could establish a foothold in the God-Demon Continent was still uncertain.
