Chapter 1449: the Ghost Race Banquet

After putting on the mask, Cheng Ziang's identity no longer mattered in front of the old woman; he was now a distinguished guest on Aximiya Island, undergoing his own shamanic ritual.

Covered in dense smoke, Cheng Ziang began to emit a strong smoky odor, which he found quite unfamiliar. However, according to Zisu, such a smoky scent was beneficial as it could prevent guests who landed on the island from being eroded by miasma.

As is well-known, the so-called miasma is actually a source of viral transmission like mosquitoes. From this perspective, being covered in a smoky smell was not objectionable, as the odor effectively prevented mosquito bites and, to a certain extent, prevented diseases, somewhat similar to the effect of Wind Oil Essence.

After the ceremony, the elder formally invited Zisu and her companions into the house. They ascended the bluestone steps and entered the wooden house.
