"..."

Latis's eye twitched, he took a deep breath, tightened his face, and pointed to himself, asking:

"Dude, do I look like a pill?"

Upon hearing this, the skeleton carefully examined Latis. He raised his hand to touch his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said with a hint of curiosity:

"I don't know why, but you really do look a bit like... You're the person I've ever seen who most resembles Gaowan."

"...Gaia!!"

Latis clutched his head in despair, took a few deep breaths, and muttered to himself:

"Latis, Latis, be strong! This is the Bone Spirit Realm, the probability of encountering madmen is indeed very high. It's not your problem, it's the problem of this world!"

He calmed himself down, looked up, and rationally chose to skip the topic, saying:

"Dude, I'm not your pill... no, I'm not a pill at all! Anyway, I came here to ask you, are you familiar with this 'Mount Amadeus'? Have any people climbed it recently? Are there any villages or towns nearby?"

“Mount Amadeus, I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before…”

The skeleton muttered something, shook its head, and said:

“There have been some climbers recently, but they left not long after. They couldn’t climb such high mountains because climbing wasn’t their goal.”

"What is that?" Latis asked, completely bewildered.

"Gaowan, you should be brave enough to climb."

The skeleton chuckled, stepped forward, patted Latis on the shoulder, and said:

"As for villages and towns, you can see one by crossing this ridge over that road. The town is quite lively. You must be tired from your journey, so go and rest before climbing the mountain."

"...I already told you I'm not a pill!!"

Latis shouted with tears welling up in his eyes. He sighed with a strained expression, glanced at the road the skull was pointing to, and nodded helplessly.

Before leaving, he and the skeleton shook hands, then hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Then I'll be going now? Do you need any help?"

"No need." The skeleton released Latis's hand, continued to stand with his hands on his hips, and looked up at the sky, saying:

"If you have time, could you please help me find my ointment? Thank you."

"...Even if we find that thing, we probably won't be able to use it!"

Latis felt the veins on his forehead begin to throb involuntarily. He shook his head, waved to the skeleton, and ran towards the village.

Before climbing the mountain, he needed to understand how to actually climb it.

……

……

You bid farewell to the skeleton, who was deeply obsessed with the pill, and set off on the gradually widening mountain path.

After jogging along the mountain path for a while, you noticed that signs of human habitation were gradually appearing in the area, including increasingly smooth mountain roads, streams flowing along the sides of the road, and the occasional piece of litter.

You picked up a bone umbrella, glanced at it, scratched your head, and tossed it back to the ground.

[It doesn't rain in this Bone Spirit Realm, so why would anyone be so bored as to make a bone umbrella? Is it to block out sand?] You couldn't help but think to yourself.

However, it's fortunate that it doesn't rain in the Bone Spirit Realm. Otherwise, based on the atmospheric cycle of water, it would only rain "white moons," and everyone would turn into senile skeletons afterward.

In short, you find it hard to understand the amount of handmade household waste from the residents of the villages ahead. You know that many things are normal in the world of the living, but in this world of the dead, they seem somewhat unnecessary.

[Take bone coins, for example. In the Bone Spirit Realm, you can't imagine a place that requires a general equivalent. Or take rock-carved vases. In this barren place, what flowers or plants can be grown? And then there's the fake cow that's polished to an exceptionally smooth finish...]

"...Seems quite useful? You paused for a moment, then tossed the fake cow figurine back into the garbage heaps on either side of the road."

Who says that one can't pursue the greater harmony of life after death? Thinking about this, I smiled with relief. Indeed, many people still retain their physical bodies, and it's understandable that they might want to indulge themselves a little. After all, they're dead; what need is there for the order of life?

With various thoughts in mind, you stepped into the village.

……

"Uh……"

Latis rubbed his eyes and looked at the genderless skeleton with a fake cow stick stuck in its pelvis, and immediately gasped.

"Oh, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

A mature-looking, plump bone spirit floated out from the skeleton's body, glanced at Latis curiously, and asked a question.

"oh oh!!"

Latis hadn't seen any other Bone Spirits for a long time, and for a moment he didn't realize it. It took him a while to remember that this place was near "Mount Amadeus", so it was normal for Bone Spirits to be preparing to climb the mountain.

"Is such that……"

He scratched his head, glanced at the skeleton building a stone house, and asked:

"My companion and I just arrived here...we don't know..."

"Oh, so you've already formed a contract with another bone spirit." The plump bone spirit lady sighed regretfully and said:

"I originally planned to climb the mountain, but I was too afraid, so I decided to settle down here with my Mr. Skeleton... If you want to know about mountain climbing, you can go to the town center, where there is a meeting hall where teams preparing to climb the mountain gather."

"I see." Latis nodded, watching Mrs. Bone Spirit return to the so-called Mr. Skeleton's body. He glanced curiously at the fake cow in the pelvis, bid them farewell, and walked towards the town center with a subtle expression.

With three passengers, Latis walked very quickly, even without jogging, and arrived at the assembly hall in the town center in just a few minutes.

The hall, constructed from a skeleton and rocks, is not an enclosed structure, but rather has grand columns and connecting corridors on all four sides, enclosing an open-air plaza.

Skeletons of varying proportions roamed the arena; some appeared calm, while others seemed insane. Accompanying them were bone spirits of diverse forms. Many of the bone spirits seemed to know each other well, for life is long, and they would see all sorts of things, both those they should and shouldn't.

To Latis's surprise, there were also some strange creatures in the arena, such as winged birdmen, monsters that looked like stone men, and vampires whose bodies were even paler than skeletons.

Compared to human skeletons, alien species are inherently at a disadvantage during the climb because they lack soul bones. However, their own species advantages may be able to make up for this deficiency, so it is normal for alien species to come and compete with them.

"A lot of people..."

Haiyue sat curiously on the back of Latis's horse, looking at the scene in the town. Since Sai Leng was not very interested in the lively scene and had seen too much of it, Haiyue was the only one who crawled out of Latis's body.

"There are indeed quite a lot of people."

Latis walked slowly to a corner and sat down, intending to observe the situation first.

Having run around in the desolate Bone Spirit Realm for so long, he thought this world was now just a desolate wasteland. Now that he's suddenly in such a lively place, he's still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Mr. Latis, you must have many more such lively scenes in your memory, right?" Haiyue'er placed her hands on Latis's shoulders, thought for a moment, and then, feeling it wasn't convenient to talk to him like this, swam over to him, sat in his lap, and looked up at him curiously, asking:

"I don't have many memories left from my life. I only remember that the mermaids would drift in the ocean with the currents during certain seasons until they gathered at one place, where they would begin a grand festival that would take place every few years... But most of the time, the mermaids were relatively isolated."

"Hmm... I do have quite a few lively scenes in my memory."

Latis recalled the bustling crowds during the festival in his previous life and couldn't help but sigh, rubbing his forehead. He still missed it, but after coming to this other world, many people loved him, so he didn't feel lonely.

Thinking of this, he gently patted Haiyue'er's head and said with a smile:

"Life will be very exciting from now on. Once I take you all to Xinghai, the future will be something to look forward to."

"Huh? Actually, I'm content just being by your side."

Haiyue'er laughed. After thinking for a moment, she flicked her tail and burrowed into Latis's body, calling out:

"I'll go persuade Miss Bluebell to come out and take a look! Maybe seeing so many people will help her regain her senses!"

"This guy……"

Latis shook his head helplessly and smiled. He felt that Haiyue was more lively than when they first met, as if the shadow of death had completely disappeared from her heart.

"In this world full of death, isn't it a bit strange that I'm happy for life?"

He muttered something to himself and was about to walk into the crowd to hear what everyone was talking about when a serious voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Sir, may I ask you something...?"

Latis turned his head towards the source of the voice and saw a person who had retained almost all of his physical body. The person wore a simple shirt, and a ring of gray hair covered his wrinkled forehead. He asked with a serious expression:

"Excuse me, are you a traveler who just came from the road on the other side of the ridge? Have you seen a mad skeleton? Is he still searching for his pill on the other side of the ridge?"

Chapter 250 What kind of skeletons are on the city walls?

"Oh no, we've run into one of Brother Gaowan's acquaintances."

Latis felt a jolt in his heart, and his head seemed to start throbbing again.

He took a close look at the man in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man's body was still intact.

"They should be someone who can communicate normally..."

Latis stroked his chin and replied:

"When I arrived, I did encounter a... well, rather unruly skeleton. Is there anything wrong with that?"

The newcomer extended his withered hand and shook hands with Latis, then hesitated before wiping his forehead, rubbing his temples, and sighing as he said:

"...I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Artur. I apologize for disturbing you."

“It’s alright…” Latis looked at Artur sitting next to him, scratched his head, and said:

“You can call me Latis. Mr. Artur, you brought up the skeleton because…”

Artur glanced at Latis, remained silent for a moment, and instead of stating his demands directly, looked at the crowd in the assembly area and asked:

“I’ve been observing the people in this town, so I was able to spot new faces relatively quickly.”

“…I see.” Latis scratched his head. Although he didn’t know why the old man in front of him had suddenly started talking to himself, he had nothing else to do, so he agreed.

Artur nodded slightly and continued:

“Mr. Latis, you see, although there are many people here, very few actually stay here. They will go to various corners of this land to look for more opportunities, and then come back.”

He turned to look at Latis, and seeing Latis's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but laugh, saying:

“Most people die on the road or on the mountain. I have been here for several white months. Every white month, the challengers who appear here are basically all new faces.”

Latis seemed to have grasped a hidden meaning. He scratched his head and asked:

Are you trying to persuade me to give up mountain climbing?

Artur didn't answer, but paused slightly before saying:

"The only familiar face I saw was that skeleton 'Sun' across the ridge."
