Chapter 75: The Song of the Ancestors

  A female specter wielding a pair of tridents wrapped her arms around Guroseni from behind, then began to sing a song that Rovi couldn't understand at all in Guroseni's ear.

  That song's voice is extremely stirring, with a melody that rises layer by layer.

  As he listened, even Luo Wei, who couldn't understand the lyrics at all, seemed to see countless rugged and unyielding mountain people in the vast mountains, fighting against beasts, against humans, against the land, and against the sky.

  Countless hardships and dangers were imposed on the ancestors of the mountain people, they would be injured and wither away like fallen leaves, but their souls did not perish but transformed into ancestral spirits, continuing to protect future generations and struggling against the harsh environment.

  The newly-born mountain people followed in the footsteps and blood of their predecessors, killing the most ferocious beasts and defeating the strongest enemies.

  The dark sky of the stormy rain, the warm sun emerges from the dissipating clouds, reflecting the determined faces of the mountain people and their tightly held bows and spears.

  Desolate and barren land, grass and trees grow luxuriantly after the rain, young deer timidly poke their heads out from among the woods, fish leap in the rippling brook.

  The singing voice naturally changed from excitement to whisper, as if the people who had already stood and grown in the mountains were praying to their ancestral spirits, telling their ancestors that they did not disappoint them, asking the ancestral spirits who had taken care of their descendants for hundreds and thousands of years to rest...

  Rest in peace!

  First people——

  The fire you ignite will never go out!

  We are mountain people, forever proud and unyielding free mountain people.

  The great mountain is our hunting ground and also our homeland.

  No one can take away our hunting grounds and home, unless we... become extinct.

  Rovi's heart was filled with emotion, silently sighing that the song that expressed her aspirations was indeed true. Closer and more intimate, Grolsch felt a stronger sense of identity in the singing voice, her eyes brimming with hot tears.

  So Gwendolyn opened her heart and accepted the female ghost's action of singing and merging into her body.

  When the singing finally stopped, Gruoch and the female ghost also completely merged into one.

  "Decay." The female ghost merged into Glosannie's body, and with Glosannie's eyes, she looked at Rove. After a slight pause, she continued: "Are you willing to swear to assist me in eliminating Mong Lingsha?"

  Rovin furrowed his brow, for he could clearly sense that these words were spoken by the female ghost, because Glorene's tone when speaking to him had never been so full of condescending superiority.

  "Firstly, I won't make any vows. Secondly, the one I'm helping is Gloxinia, not you."

  Because he was unhappy in his heart, Luo Wei replied with a sharp tongue.

  "Decomposer! You're just a useless man who plays with corpses! What qualifications do you have to speak to me like that?!"

  The female ghost occupying Glorene's body suddenly opened her brown eyes, casting a disdainful gaze at Rove with an unspoken warning that if he dared to utter another word, they would cross swords.

  "With just you, can you defeat that Mong Ling Cai?" Luo Wei didn't show any fear, but instead scanned the female ghost possessing Ge Luoni's body and said lightly: "The strength you can currently exert is probably only at the White Silver level, right?"

  Yes, Rov who tightly grasped the Lion's Fang could confront the female specter head-on because he had already seen through her true strength.

  Before entering Gloriana's body, the female ghost was indeed at the Gold rank, but now... she's only at the White Silver rank. And it's not like I haven't killed a White Silver rank before, so what is there to fear from Lovi?

  The female ghost seemed to still understand the nuances of tone and rhythm. After Luo Wei's words exposed her current level of strength, she didn't say those piercingly arrogant words again, but instead lowered her eyelids and fell into silence.

  "Rovi, don't be angry! Koro Wen's ancestor, she just... she just wanted to kill that bad guy, Mong Lich so much..."

  Such a tone and voice obviously meant that the person talking to Rove had already been converted back into Gollum.

  It seems that although the female ghost has taken over Gloriana's body, she can still allow Gloriana's soul to regain control of her body at any time.

  "I told you earlier, I'll help Gloxiana. Rowen sighed and then continued: "Because we're friends."

  Rovin didn't lie, he was indeed willing to help Glosoni, after all the situation had already come to this - if they didn't go through thick and thin together, then probably neither of them would make it out alive from this damned ancient battlefield relic.

  "Thank you, Rovi!" Groni expressed her sincere gratitude to Rovi, but her tone quickly shifted: "But I also want to kill that Mong Lich, it's all because of his tribe that it was destroyed, and now...now there's only me left."

  "I know, so call out this ancestor of yours named Ke Luo Wen, I need to have a detailed talk with her."

  Rov nodded towards Glorene.

  "Thank you, Rovi!"

  Gloria said with unutterable gratitude, and then her eyes gradually changed from gratitude to being full of sharpness, with a hint of vicissitudes in the sharpness.

  Five seconds.

  This time, Luo Wei quietly calculated the time required for Ge Luoxi and her ancestral spirit Ke Luo Wen to complete their soul transfer.

  "Rotten one, what is it that you want to know?"

  The voice of the female ghost Corvin sounded, if Glosoni's voice was crisp, then Corvin's voice could only be described as sonorous and hoarse, sounding very similar to Tian Zhen singing "Clang Rose".

  "Everything! All about that Mung Lung Chai, all about this valley."

  Rove made very specific demands.

  "Will you be able to guarantee killing Mōryō if I tell you everything?"

  The female ghost Corvin asked.

  "I can't guarantee, and I don't know how strong this Meng Ling Cha is, so even if I were to make a promise to you, it would be just to humor you. Let me tell you everything, only to facilitate my making specific judgments based on the situation, and then mobilize all favorable conditions that can be mobilized, in order to achieve the goal of killing that Meng Ling Cha."

  This time, Luo Wei's answer was very candid.

  This answer made the female ghost Corvin once again fall into silence, and after a long time she finally looked at Rovi's eyes and said: "The decaying one... no... Rovi, I finally believe that Glosannie child, why would she trust you so much, you are indeed trustworthy."

  "Thank you for the compliment, but let's not waste any more time, tell me everything."

  Lu Wei slightly bowed his head.

  "I can't answer your question accurately, however..." The female ghost Corvin said something that completely caught Rovi off guard, but before his expression could fully register shock, she pointed to the bookshelves in the center of the magic room: "They can."
