Su Mo’s curiosity was precisely what the Liu brothers had predicted.

Treasures easily tempt the human heart.

Disregarding the question of whether he was the real Almighty Su, the countless treasures and secrets would be able to tempt anyone.

Especially inside the vast Great Mountains, the most valuable thing would be the topographic map, the secrets within the mountains, and the mysterious ruin.

Unless the other party had a heart of steel, these pieces of information gave the two brothers the confidence to escape.

“Al…Almighty Su! Could you give us a moment to organize our thoughts first before we…we report everything to you?”

The two were wise enough not to ask for anything in return. Seeing that Su Mo nodded to their request, both of them let out a sigh of relief. They hurriedly took two steps back and started to discuss.

It would be impossible for an ordinary person to hear their conversation from such a long distance.

However, Su Mo could clearly distinguish their words from a distance.

Despite that, the discussion between the Liu brothers was about trivial matters that were insignificant to him. He could not hear anything meaningful from them for a while and became slightly irritated.

After paying attention to their conversation for some time, Su Mo retracted his attention and patiently waited for them to discuss the details.

A few moments later, the younger brother, Liu Zhi, approached and bowed 90 degrees to Su Mo, raised his head, then respectfully reported to Su Mo.

“It’s an honor, Almighty Su. The two of us have spilled a lot of secrets, and we are willing to give you the details about them for free, but please give us some time to explain everything one by one.

“I assume you’re someone from outside the mountains, right?”

Su Mo remained silent at Liu Zhi’s question. He tilted his head, rested his chin on his hand, and tapped lightly.

There was no need for him to lie about it or put on an act.

The two brothers’ lives were in his hands. With their brains, they were certainly aware of the miserable consequences if they were to lie.

Furthermore, Oreo, who had been hiding in the corner, constantly monitored the expressions and movements of the two brothers, relying on his sixth sense to analyze them continuously.

Su Mo would immediately know as soon as they lied.

“You must already be able to guess that the two of us did not come from the outside world into the mountains to settle here. We traveled from the center of the mountains and settled down all the way here.

“Since you are from outside the mountains, first of all, please allow me to explain the current situation in the mountains, as well as a few more powerful lords and territories.”

Liu Zhi walked forward as he self-exposed their background. He picked up a stone from the ground and began to carve on the walls.

After a few hasty strokes, a general outline of the mountain’s terrains was sketched on the wall. Next, he continued to carve out more lines to isolate the approximate shape distribution of the mountains within the area.

There were no significant differences between the previous map provided by Marshal Wang.

The only slight variation was that in a particular corner of the map, there were more corners of the mountains. It was not a big difference and not something significant.

“From the center of the mountains, the mountain we are standing on is the second mountain closest to the outside world.

“To reach the center of the mountains, you will need to climb Eight Peak Mountain— a mountain with eight combined mountains. Three mountains have extremely steep slopes and are called the Sword Mountains. Another two are called the Sinking Mountains, which would often collapse. There are also four ordinary rocky mountains that are no different from the one we are standing on now!

“Among them, the sword mountains were the most dangerous. The most manageable slope is over 45 degrees, and the steepest slopes are approximately 80 degrees. It’s insanely terrifying climbing them!

“Many have stumbled during the hike and unfortunately fell to their deaths at the foot of the mountain. It is the greatest difficulty that anyone has to overcome to reach the center of the Great Mountain!

“On the other hand, the Sinking Mountains may seem dangerous but won’t be a problem if you are careful enough.

Liu Zhi’s presentation was impressive. He spoke as if he were a professional tour guide or geography teacher.

He could elaborately explain the dangers between East Long Mountain and Origin Camp with only a few sketches and simple words.

There was also information that Marshal Wang had not mentioned on the map.

Su Mo silently nodded and remembered the information as he listened to Liu Zhi’s explanation.

Meanwhile, the soldier hiding in the corner also quickly took out a notebook and pen to transcribe the information for future reference.

This was the first time they had first-hand information since entering the mountains.

The future roundtrips to the center of the mountain would allow them to increase their knowledge of the terrain and reduce the dangers by 90%.

“I know of 17 human gathering places on the way to the center.

“Most of these people are distributed on Eight Peak Mountain and the four ordinary mountains behind them. The largest community among them has more than 400 people, and the smallest has only 50 people.

“However, most of this information was gathered from rumors, and we’ve never investigated them in depth. For now, we aren’t sure of their precise backgrounds. It’s likely that many of these territories were already invaded and occupied by other territories before the winter disaster struck.”

Liu Zhi used the stone to carve 11 small Xs on Peak Mountain to mark the human gathering places.

On the four ordinary mountains behind, he marked another six Xs, which indicated that there were six more gathering places in that area.

“Also, there is another large human gathering place in the center of Great Mountain which these 17 territories, including us, could never compare to.

“They are called Origin Territory. It was originally composed of 20 to 30 small gathering places with more than 20,000 people. Many people continued to join, and they have been smoothly developing ever since. There are an estimated 50,000 to maybe even 80,000 people.”
