"So, brother, are you also here for the competition?"

A few brawny men ate the wolf legs given by Tang Rao without any defenses and smiled at him.

This enigmatic smile brought warmth to Tang Rao in the snowy terrain.

"I'm here for the competition too, just arrived and don't know how to find my way."

A man who came looking for directions forced himself to say he was a single old man without any support.

"Brother, you've found the right people, we're going there too, so let's go together!"

Being such an upright guy, how could Tang Rao refuse such a warm invitation? Of course, he agreed immediately, "Sure, I'm tired from walking and was thinking of heading back if I can't find the way, thank goodness I met some kind-hearted people."

The Nine-Pot Snowy Beast, which Tang Rao had instantly hidden, gave him a disdainful look.

Boss, I've been carrying you the whole way, what do you mean by being tired from walking?

Tang Rao was showing off to a new level, and the Nine-Pot Snowy Beast was so used to it, it couldn't bear to jump out and expose him.

"You look younger than me, I'll call you younger brother then, I'm Ge Sheng, and the others with more complex names, from fat to thin, they're Lao Da, Lao Er, and Lao San in sequence."

Ge Sheng finished off a jug of wine, seeming not the least bit drunk, must have an excellent tolerance for alcohol.

"I'm called Chen Rao, you can call me Lao Hei."

Tang Rao deliberately concealed his family name.

Who are Ge Sheng and the others really, and where they come from is still a question mark. Chen Tuan taught Tang Rao that even with family, one should be cautious to some extent; this is the foundation for surviving in the Land of Immortals.

"A fair young lad taking the name Lao Hei, interesting."

Indeed, calling me Lao Hei and calling me dad is the same, I'm your Lao Hei, I'm your dad.

They don't know the slang from Blue Star, deservedly tricked by Tang Rao like fools.

"My family gave me this name, saying unpleasant names are easier to raise. Brother Ge, look at this icy and snowy place, shouldn't we set off first? If it gets late and the snowstorm picks up, it'll be hard for us to travel."

Tang Rao, seeing the weather, knew there would be another snowstorm at night.

It's okay to enjoy the scenery under the moonlight, but Tang Rao didn't want to be buried by a snowstorm.

"Alright, Lao San, take out the map and see how to go. We'll take Lao Hei with us."

Ge Sheng ordered the person behind him to check it out.

They actually have a map?

Luckily, they were brothers who had shared wolf meat and wine, so Tang Rao could tag along for a look at the map. Otherwise, as someone here for the competition, he wouldn't even find the test site.

Lao San took out the same invitation Tang Rao had. For such small matters, there was always Xiao Yue to handle it, with her leading, Tang Rao didn't worry about getting lost.

He was reassured to travel with Ge Sheng.

"It looks like there are 800 miles ahead, this snowy land is treacherous, the distance may be short, but there's much danger. It's a pity we didn't bring many Immortal Stones; otherwise, we could buy a space tunnel to get through."

Ge Sheng sighed deeply when he said this.

"Brother Ge, when I headed out, my family gave me some Immortal Stones, why don't we take the tunnel? I'll cover it."

Looking at the 800 miles ahead, Tang Rao felt a bit uneasy. If not for the danger ahead, he wouldn't act like a generous benefactor, helping pay for the others.

"Forget it, there will be many places to spend money later, let's just walk through here, it's not too far, not worth wasting money, who knows, maybe we'll have some encounters along the way?"

Ge Sheng was quite confident about the journey ahead.

Tang Rao began to suspect he'd met a fool.

The path ahead is full of Fog Barriers, even if you can't see it, can't you use your brain to think, who gave you the courage to say there are encounters inside?

"Alright, I want to see the world too, let's go together."

With the first step of the journey, Tang Rao already sensed something was off about the atmosphere, but with so many people, he couldn't show the tension he felt inside.

"Brother Ge, are we really going? The road ahead is a blind spot on the map, the committee has said they won't be responsible if we die in there."

Lao San had written all his worries on his face; being young, he was a bit naive too.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Ge can protect us all."

Lao Da remained silent, while Lao Er kept urging Ge Sheng and the others to move forward.

Being among a group, one could hardly notice at first, but Tang Rao started to be wary of this Lao Er.

Even as an Eighth Layer Immortal Monarch, there was something off about his aura that made Tang Rao uneasy.

"I suddenly regret it, I still want to take the tunnel, Brother Ge, will you join me?"

Tang Rao rolled his eyes, the more you intend to do something to me, the more I want to leave first, what can you do to me?

"Why? You just said to come this way, changing your mind like this, we're going to miss the registration deadline!"

Hearing Tang Rao say he wanted to switch to the tunnel, Lao Er jumped up immediately.

This reaction was too intense, and everyone else could see there was something up with Lao Er.

"Lao Er, isn't missing the registration just what you hoped for? If I'm not mistaken."

Tang Rao liked giving young people a chance; as long as Lao Er could come up with a reason that convinced him, Tang Rao wouldn't be angry.

If he couldn't convince Tang Rao, sorry, even considering Ge Sheng's face, Tang Rao would need to teach this Lao Er a lesson.

"Lao Hei, what nonsense are you talking? I just want the big brother to find some encounters inside, we're all rushing for the competition, how could I let them be late on purpose?"

Lao Er's words sounded reasonable from his angle.

Yet Tang Rao simply didn't believe him.

"Brother Ge, who suggested coming to me for wolf meat?"

As Tang Rao asked, Lao Er clenched his fists and became tense.

"It... it was Lao Er."

Ge Sheng didn't hide the truth.

"There you have it, didn't expect that before the competition even began, you had already found me first!"

The person Tang Rao referred to was the Corpse Emperor.

Perhaps this was another Small Corpse Soldier; only a Small Corpse Soldier would lack such dignity, impersonating someone like Lao Er.

"Why not kill you now, rather than let you show off?"

Seeing his identity exposed, Lao Er no longer hid and brandished twin forks at Tang Rao.

"Lao Hei, what grudge do you have with Lao Er for him to want to kill you?"

When the Corpse Soldier attacked Tang Rao, Ge Sheng showed some conscience, joining the fight against the Corpse Soldier.

"This guy loves to seize bodies, using possessed people to try and kill me, I'm quite used to it."

Tang Rao had the strength to kill a Corpse Soldier in one blow, but it wasn't the right time to show it now. He took it as practice for himself and a chance for Ge Sheng to have a go too.

"Tang Rao, I shall take your life."

The Corpse Emperor was ruthless, pulling out the strongest Corpse Soldier, despite previous failures, any more failure, and the Corpse Soldiers would be useless.

Tang Rao grabbed the Corpse Emperor's outer robe, yanked it, and his true appearance was immediately revealed.
