The eight-armed demonic ape was extremely ferocious.

1

Roar!

When it saw Lin Wudao and the others, its eyes became even more ferocious. Its terrifying hand snapped a tree that was as thick as a bucket.

Then, it rushed over aggressively.

Lu Chentian was the first to bear the brunt.

"Run!"

Seeing the eight-armed demonic ape charging at him with the huge tree trunk, Lu Chentian shouted without looking back. He then dragged his heavily injured body away.

However, Lin Wudao was indifferent to the other party's kind reminder.

To Lu Chentian, the eight-armed demonic ape was a great threat, but to Lin Wudao, the demon was his corpse-collecting target.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't let it go.

"Li Zangtian, go and kill this bastard."

"Yes, sir."

Rumble!

With Lin Wudao's order, Li Zangtian didn't hesitate and drew the Sword of Destruction in his hand, then slashed out a terrifying 1,000-foot-long sword energy.

"Roar!"

A shrill scream rang out as the eight-armed demonic ape was killed by the sword. It was beheaded.

Hmm? The eight-armed demonic ape was actually killed?

Everything happened in an instant.

Lu Chentian's pupils constricted when he saw this sudden scene. Then, the way he looked at Lin Wudao and the others changed from the previous indifference to the current fear and respect.

"You guys are also...Exiles?"

After a long silence, Lu Chentian finally asked. There was a hint of wariness in his expression.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded.

"Something like that."

As he spoke, he went to the eight-armed demonic ape and prepared to put its corpse into the system space.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Lu Chentian suddenly walked up to the corpse of the eight-armed demonic ape.

"It's going to be dark soon. Hurry up and take out the demon stone from the eight-armed demonic ape's body. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble when the sky turns dark. At that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive the night," He said anxiously.

Demon stone?

Lin Wudao was a little confused when he heard this unfamiliar term.

Chi!

While he was still in shock, Lu Chentian took out an ancient sword and cut open the eight-armed demonic ape's chest. He then took out a jade green crystal the size of a fingernail.

"This is a demon stone, a necessity for survival in the Land of Sins. Without it, no one can survive the night."

As he spoke, Lu Chentian reluctantly handed the demon stone to Lin Wudao. It could be seen that he really wanted this thing.

"We're new here and don't know the situation here. I wonder if you can give us a brief introduction?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinglun said with a smile.

Lu Chentian's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Aren't you exiles? You don't know about the Land of Sins?"

"This..."

"Alright, since you guys saved my life just now, I'll tell you what I know. This is the Land of Sins of Mountain Mausoleum Area. Anyone who has committed a huge mistake or a great sin will be judged and then exiled here to fend for themselves. In the Land of Sins, countless terrifying demons and evil things will be born under the night. Once the sun sets and night falls, the demons and evil things will come with the night. Thus, the night in the Land of Sins is the most dangerous."

"There is only one effective way to survive in the darkness of the night, and that is to light up the magic lamp and use its light to dispel the cold and evil. However, the magic lamp is made from the bones of a demonic creature. It requires demon stones to light up, thereby illuminating a space and ensuring personal safety. I entered the Dark Forest this time to search for demon stones."

...

Lu Chentian introduced the place to them as they walked. He spoke in detail, and everyone listened attentively.

Gradually, with his introduction, Lin Wudao had a simple understanding of the Land of Sins, demon stones, magic lamps, and other things.

All in all, it was very dangerous at night in the Land of Sins.

They couldn't go out. Moreover, only by using demon stones to light up the magic lamp could one save one's life. Otherwise, they would be attacked by demons and evil things in the night. At that time, those who were weak would definitely die without a burial place.

"Are the demonic creatures in the night very terrifying?"

"Yes, very!"

Lu Chentian nodded.

"Once night falls, darkness will envelop the Land of Sins, and countless demons and evil things will rush out. They will wander around the human world, looking for weak creatures to feed on. Only the light of the magic lamp can disperse them. When I first arrived at the Land of Sins, I met a terrifying demon in the Divine Wheel realm. Fortunately, I managed to last until dawn with the only remaining demon stone I had. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been devoured long ago."

At this point, Lu Chentian still had lingering fears.

It was obvious that the demon had caused him great fear.

"Is a demon in the Divine Wheel realm the strongest?"

"Of course not! In the darkness, demons and evil things are the unknown. You never know what is hidden inside. In short, without the magic lamp and demon stone, only death will await in the Land of Sins."

Lu Chentian looked serious.

At this moment, in the depths of his eyes, there was still a trace of fear and confusion.

He did not know what would happen next and felt uneasy about the unknown fate.

In contrast, Lin Wudao's expression was much calmer. There was even a trace of inexplicable anticipation in his eyes.

He wasn't afraid of demons and evil things. On the contrary, the stronger, the better. This way, he could collect more corpses.

"By the way, Brother Lu, are there others in this Land of Sins besides you?"

"Yes. Outside the Dark Forest, there is a decaying Sin City. The people living inside are all vicious exiles, and all of them have committed great sins. Once night falls, everyone must rely on magic lamps and demon stones to survive. Therefore, in the Land of Sins, demon stones are the hard currency. All kinds of transactions require demon stones as a form of payment."

...

Lu Chentian introduced the details along the way.

Whoosh!

Two hours later, under his lead, everyone steered the spiritual boat to an ancient and dilapidated city.

Currently, it wasn't far from nightfall. Outside Sin City, many exiles had gathered. Soon, orange magic lamps were lit one after another.

At a glance, the lights were dazzling.

In Sin City, thousands of lights illuminated the sky.

"The sky is getting dark. Let's quickly find a place to light the magic lamp. Otherwise, we won't even be able to find a good spot later," Lu Chentian said seriously.

As he spoke, he came to a hill in the distance and first set up a simple tent. Then, he took out an ancient-looking octagonal palace lamp.

"Brother Lin, that demon stone of yours..."

"Here."

With a flip of his palm, Lin Wudao passed the demon stone to Lu Chentian.

Seeing this, Lu Chentian didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed the demon stone and placed it into the groove of the octagonal palace lamp.

Then, he formed a seal with both hands and then shot out a wisp of spiritual power.

Buzz!

In an instant, the originally silent magic lamp immediately bloomed with a gentle orange glow, illuminating the surrounding area of a hundred feet.

As the magic lamp was lit up, Lin Wudao and the others felt a warm aura sweep over them, dispelling the darkness and coldness around them.

"Brother Lu, why don't you enter Sin City?"

"I'm too weak. The people gathered there are all vicious people in the Land of Sins, and all of them are extremely powerful. With my weak strength, I'll only be robbed if I go in. For safety, it's better to stay outside the city. However, we only found one demon stone today. I'm afraid it won't be easy in the long night later."

Lu Chentian was worried.

"This demon stone can't last until dawn?" Lin Wudao asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lu Chentian shook his head.

"No. The rate at which a demon stone is consumed depends on the number of people gathered around it. The more people there are, the faster the demon stone will burn. According to my estimation, this demon stone can only last until midnight at most. Once the demon stone is used up and the magic lamp is extinguished, life and death will depend on the will of heaven. If we're lucky, we might be able to survive."

What? The magic stone could only last until the latter half of the night?

Lin Wudao and Xiao Jinglun were relatively calm when they heard this, but Xiao Ziyi's delicate face revealed a look of panic.

"Clan leader, what should we do? Why don't we go hunt more demons and obtain more demon stones?" She suggested.

"That can't do! It's going to be dark soon. Going to the Dark Forest at this time is simply courting death. Moreover, not all demons have demon stones in their bodies. It all depends on luck..." Lu Chentian sighed.

After saying that, he gave a few more instructions before hugging the ancient sword in his hand and began to recuperate.

There might be a life-and-death battle in the latter half of the night.
