Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower

Before the meeting, everyone specifically had the guard take them for a tour around here.

Speaking of which, Yuwen Feng had only heard of the Three-Branch Junction's fame but had never been here. Looking at these architectures, completely different from those in the Imperial Capital, he felt a sense of novelty.

He was particularly curious about the grayish poison fog not far behind the Three-Branch Junction.

"Could it be that this is the legendary poison fog?"

"Yes." The guard responded, "This poison fog stretches for ten miles, and anyone approaching it will be corroded by the miasma, causing their intestines to rot."

"Truly horrifying," Yuwen Feng said with a skeptical expression, "Zuo Jiang, you go and try it."

Zuo Jiang, who was called upon, twitched the corner of his mouth and frankly raised his hand in a salute, "Your Highness, I dare not."

"..." Yuwen Feng glanced at him, "Is this how you devote yourself to me?"

"Your Highness, I can offer my head and shed my blood for you, but that doesn't include testing poison fog. After all, this poison fog wasn't deployed by the enemy. How could I serve you for life if my life is lost in vain?"

Zuo Jiang responded without any change in expression.

He was Yuwen Ji's most loyal and favored general, having grown up with Yuwen Feng. Although they were lord and subject, their relationship had always been good, so Zuo Jiang dared to refuse Yuwen Feng's unreasonable orders.

Yuwen Feng felt a bit embarrassed when he found himself unable to command Zuo Jiang and brushed his nose, "I was joking, did you really take it seriously? I just asked you to get a couple of sheep, why so tense?"

"Yes." Zuo Jiang bowed and nodded, quickly leaving.

Not long after, a young soldier came dragging two sheep.

Under Yuwen Feng's eager gaze, the soldier threw the two sheep into the poison fog. Soon, they heard the sheep wailing from within the fog, and a little later, the cries also ceased.

The young soldier still held the sheep rope, and where they could previously feel the sheep running wildly, now there was complete silence, causing them to tremble with fear.

"Drag the sheep out and have a look." Yuwen Feng waited atop for a moment before giving the order again.

The young soldier, hands shaking, dragged the sheep out, and once they did, everyone was shocked. The sheep were utterly rotten, flesh bloody and indistinct.

Yuwen Feng inhaled sharply, finally witnessing the powers of Witch Ancestor Mountain.

No wonder everyone has been so fearful of Witch Ancestor Mountain all these years.

"Speaking of which, have they all hidden in the poison fog and not come out?" Yuwen Feng asked the guard, still in shock.

The guard nodded, "They've all gone into the mountain, their elder said they won't concern themselves with outside wars anymore."

Yuwen Feng nodded, that was good.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they came out to fight for the command seal with him.

These people could all control insects, and he could not afford to provoke them.

Having witnessed the power of the poison fog, Yuwen Feng no longer acted recklessly and led everyone back to the building outside to start discussing how to strong-arm the Ownerless Land.

Yuwen Jun's guard, as the former officer, was the most familiar with the situation here, so he naturally participated in the meeting, though he had no decision-making power and mainly answered everyone's questions.

"Speaking of which, isn't there the Fire-Swallowing Tribe in the Ownerless Land, wouldn't they take care of them before we even act?"

"That's hard to say, but at least we've never had a confrontation with the Fire-Swallowing Tribe here."

The guard replied solemnly.

In fact, they clearly had clashed with the Fire-Swallowing Tribe and knew they were allied with the Rebels, but their master had instructed that some information could be told and some could not, so the guard did not disclose everything.
