The Living Mountain of Corpses

Ling strode swiftly across the desolate mountain ridge, stopping every now and then to check her direction.

However, whenever this happened, she would always frown in disgust, not wanting to stay in such a place at all.

Not only is it devoid of life, it is also incapable of giving birth.

The spirit's body radiated vitality, making her appear incredibly agile.

Everywhere you step, the ground is dotted with greenery, which is growing vigorously or in full bloom.

In a normal world, it would certainly grow or bloom.

Unfortunately, this is a misty zone in the Death World, filled with the aura of death.

The touches of greenery vanished as soon as she left, turning a deathly gray.

This is why the spirit is even more curious about the vitality it senses.

As the familiar yet strange aura drew ever closer, a massive canyon finally appeared before them.

The canyon is a world apart from the outside world; the outside is desolate, while the canyon is teeming with life.

Various kinds of unfamiliar vegetation grew lushly within, but their colors appeared somewhat somber, giving them a dirty look.

Ling didn't notice anything different at first, but then a breeze blew by from the place where life was teeming ahead.

It lacked any natural freshness or fragrance; instead, it had a nauseating, putrid stench.

The stench carried by the wind permeated the mouths and noses of all the creatures in the army, making them nauseous.

Upon closer inspection, the entire army, including Ling, realized that the thriving plants in the vibrant canyon were not the same as those they had ever seen before!

Ling's eyes were almost squinting; she did indeed sense a vibrant life force within it, but what she actually saw...

She couldn't understand it, and even felt disgusted by it, but she still led her army into the canyon.

Upon entering this place, everything they had seen before was laid bare before them, creating an immense cognitive shock.

The vegetation here is indeed very lush, a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

But everything here is made entirely of flesh and blood!

The rugged tree trunks are like skin, and various plants, like flesh and blood, proliferate and grow on the ground.

Even the ground was like fat, incredibly greasy and disgusting.

However, this might be considered fertile soil for the plants here, as their roots are clearly visible, like scarlet veins embedded in the fat-like earth.

Everything here is so greasy and nauseating, yet it also feels so harmonious, peaceful, and natural.

All the creatures that entered this place were curiously observing everything around them.

Ling's eyes held an uncertain doubt: Was this place truly natural?

Although according to my own understanding it certainly doesn't count, it certainly does in this world.

"Perhaps we can find out how this place was formed by looking at the source of its vitality."

Ling muttered to herself, not forgetting her mission: to wage war against everything in this world.

Until they are completely destroyed and absorbed into this world, so that they can restore their own world.

Before destroying this place, she wanted to understand how it came to be.

She had keenly sensed that all life here was supplied with nutrients, which must be the reason for the formation of this place.

Guided by the spirit, all living beings continue their journey across this fertile land.

The stench emanating from ahead grew stronger, now tinged with a bloody odor, and gradually became more vibrant than its former decay.

Some painful wails and frantic screams came from ahead.

Is there something ahead?

Ling frowned slightly; the army behind her was ready to fight at any moment.

Until an incredibly shocking scene unfolded before their eyes.

A mountain of corpses, dripping with juice and still writhing, stood right in the center of the canyon.

Severed limbs, various internal organs, brain matter, mixed with blood, body fluids, and fat, were all tangled together, some in varying degrees of decay.

The mixture flowed out a dark yellow liquid that spread across the fertile land and gradually seeped downwards, making the land even more fertile.

The reason for adding the word "wriggling" here is that on this mountain of corpses, there are still many people who are not quite dead, or who look perfectly fine, howling and screaming madly.

Everything here was so Eldritch Beings and nauseating, but Ling led most of the creatures in the army.

The moment they saw the mountain of corpses before them, they completely ignored the Eldritch Beings atmosphere of the surroundings.

Instead, all their attention was focused on the corpses, or those who were not quite dead or were intact.

But that doesn't matter anymore; whether they are corpses or living people, they are all the same.

They all shared the same face, a captivatingly beautiful face capable of stealing the hearts of anyone, even if it was just a corpse, or merely a mutilated part of one...

Looking at the mountain of corpses piled up by Tomie before her, Ling subconsciously felt that it was truly beautiful.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, and immediately frowned, her expression changing.

Everyone who made up this mountain of corpses looked exactly alike!

And what gives life to this place is these corpses!

Ling instantly felt disgusted with this place; she didn't approve of this kind of vitality, nor could she accept it.

"This place must be destroyed!"

When Ling made up her mind to have her army destroy the place, most of the creatures in the army behind her...

To be more precise, the eyes of those male creatures became glazed over, revealing a frenzied possessiveness.

Before Ling could give any orders, these creatures charged directly at the mountain of corpses before them, shouting and yelling:

"Mine! She's mine!"

Nearly two-thirds of the army ignored Ling at the forefront, bypassing her and charging straight towards the mountain of corpses, plunging headlong into it.

They were extremely excited, clutching any piece of the corpse they could grab.

Meanwhile, some of the body parts swelled and multiplied, quickly transforming into a completely new Tomie.

They began to fight and struggle, even risking their lives against each other, or dividing up Tomie...

This chilling scene caused most of the remaining female beings and their intellect to feel both physically and psychologically uncomfortable.

Ling also realized that these corpses had a bewitching effect!

"Destroy this place!"

As Ling uttered these words, she also gripped the longbow in her hand.

The verdant greenery above symbolizes life. Drawing the bowstring towards the writhing mountain of corpses before him, an energy arrow instantly materializes.

"Bloom, sea of flowers!"

The arrow shot out, but while still in mid-air, it transformed into a colorful sea of flowers that surged towards the mountain of corpses.
