Chapter 307: Looking for the Head Monster, Goodbye Fenghua
Time flies, Wei Fan stayed in the White Bone Tribe for another three days. Finally, no more people died here, and Taboo did not come to find him again.
He was very confused because the clan leader described the taboos as so horrible that even mentioning or talking about them was not allowed.
But the thing seemed to be very afraid of him. That night he shouted loudly and scared the thing away. It didn't look like it was very powerful.
On the fourth day, a team was ready to go out of the tribe, led by an elder named Qi Cheng from the White Bone Tribe. They were heading to the nearest human city, Zhilan City, to trade, sell the elixirs they collected, and exchange them for some things needed in the tribe.
Liya was also there, as well as Qi Yong, making a total of eleven people including him.
In addition to people, they also have a group of "cattle and sheep" that they raise. Most of these cattle and sheep are at the Ningdan level, and only two are at the Ningshen level.
Soon a group of people started to set off. Elder Qi Cheng walked in front to lead the way, holding a bronze lamp in his hand. Wei Fan and Feng Hua walked behind. Qi Yong and others scattered on both sides, responsible for driving the "cattle and sheep".
"It will take about seven or eight days to get out of Cangwu Mountain. During this time, remember not to use your strength as much as possible..."
As Fenghua walked, she told Wei Fan some things that should not be done.
For example, after dark, you should suppress your breath and sleep, and don't walk around. If you see something strange, don't take any action if you can.
He pointed at the copper lamp held in Qi Cheng's hand and said, "Pay attention to the copper lamp in Elder Qi Cheng's hand. Once the copper lamp goes out, don't hesitate, immediately gather all your breath and hide under the monster."
Wei Fan's eyes narrowed: "Is that copper lamp a secret weapon that can sense taboos?"
He looked around at the cattle and sheep in front of him, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face: "These cattle and sheep are not driven out to be sold, but to be used to save lives?"
It turns out that the main purpose of the White Bone Tribe raising these monsters is not to eat or sell them, but to use them as substitutes for death.
Those taboos will not eat monsters, only humans. Since these monsters have never eaten humans, they have strong blood and are full of spirituality. In the eyes of the taboos, they are not much different from humans, which can confuse them to a certain extent.
The main purpose of the White Bone Tribe raising these monsters is to use them as replacements for the dead. For example, if there are no more deaths in the White Bone Tribe, it means that the tribe leader has sent a batch of monsters to replace the people in the tribe.
"These taboos can't even distinguish between humans and monsters?"
Wei Fan was confused, but as they moved away from the White Bone Tribe and entered the mountains, Liya stopped talking. While driving the cattle and sheep behind, her eyes were always fixed on the bronze lamp in Qi Cheng's hand.
As he walked along, Wei Fan discovered that he was not going out directly, but taking a detour in twists and turns, as if he was avoiding some scary places.
They traveled during the day and hid in caves to rest at night. Nothing unexpected happened for three consecutive days.
It was not until the third day when they arrived at an open area that Wei Fan suddenly saw the copper lamp in Qi Cheng's hand in front of him go out.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Elder Qi Cheng ignored everything and turned around to dive into the herd of cattle and sheep, hiding under a big buffalo. Qi Yong and his companions did the same. They restrained their breath at the first possible moment and hid in the belly of the monster.
Liya pulled Wei Fan, squatted down among the herd of cattle and sheep, and made a gesture to Wei Fan to keep quiet.
At this time, he also felt a chill coming over him. The monsters began to growl uneasily, trembling all over and spinning in place.
After a few breaths, a thick fog began to appear out of nowhere, covering the place where they were.
Tap tap...
After a while, footsteps began to sound from the fog, as if someone was approaching here. At the same time, a breath that made Wei Fan's scalp numb appeared. The golden soul in the sea of consciousness opened its eyes at this moment, giving Wei Fan a feeling of uneasiness.
He did not dare to concentrate on looking at what appeared, but his sight was blocked by the bodies of those monsters. He had no choice but to bend down to see what appeared.
But before he leaned over, Liya reached out and covered his eyes.
You can’t even look at it!
Wei Fan reacted and started to behave himself. He still didn't quite understand what the taboos of Cangwu Mountain were, and he wasn't sure nothing would go wrong, so he didn't force himself to go and see.
Even if he is not afraid, it is not good to implicate Liya and others.
He originally wanted to use the panel to identify what the so-called taboo was, but seeing this he had to give up.
Time passed in agony. As footsteps appeared, the monsters seemed to be frozen. Not only did they stop moving, but even no cry was heard.
After a while, he felt the cold air begin to recede, and the roars and movements of the monsters reappeared.
When he opened his eyes, the fog had disappeared, and several people emerged from the group of monsters. No one was hurt! "Go!"
Elder Qi Chang relit the copper lamp and asked everyone to leave without stopping.
Wei Fan and Li Ya were driving away the monsters from behind and saw four or five monster corpses lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
These monsters all have one thing in common: their heads were chopped off by sharp blades and thrown aside, and their spirit was not completely sucked away. The way they died was completely different from having their spirit sucked away by evil spirits.
It looks like a massacre, but it also doesn't seem like it, because if it was a massacre, it wouldn't just kill a few monsters.
Moreover, he looked carefully and found that a total of five monsters had died, of different types, with only one of each type dying.
"There are only four heads, and one is missing!"
Five monsters died, but there were only four heads on the roadside. The head of a sheep monster was not seen, as if it had been taken away by that thing.
"It's not evil!"
Wei Fan looked at Liya in confusion, but Liya just shook her head, signaling him not to speak or ask.
Nothing unexpected happened during the rest of the journey, and five days later, the group stepped out of Cangwu Mountain.
With one step, it was as if I entered another world, without that oppressive atmosphere anymore.
Leaving a few people behind to look after the remaining monsters outside Cangwu Mountain, Wei Fan and his companions continued on their journey. After walking for another two days, a city appeared in Wei Fan's sight at the end of the horizon.
Zhilan City! The scale of Zhilan City was much larger than any city he had seen in the wilderness. It was unknown how long it had existed. The winding city walls were covered with traces of axes and knives.
At the entrance, strong men kept descending from the sky and entering the city on foot.
When he got closer, Wei Fan glanced over and found that they were all people with cultivation. There were almost no ordinary people. Everyone, no matter how strong or weak, had some cultivation.
Of course, the majority are still in the True Qi Realm and the Opening Acupoint Realm. After all, martial arts also require a certain amount of talent. Hard work can achieve something in the True Qi Realm, but the later realms really require a certain amount of talent.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Walking into the city, Wei Fan looked around curiously. On both sides of the street, the most common shops were those related to warriors, including various weapons shops, spiritual medicine shops, and shops selling monster meat. There was a warrior-related shop almost every ten meters.
"I'm leaving now, everyone. See you later!"
After entering the city, Wei Fan planned to separate from the people of the White Bone Tribe, because Feng Hua had rushed to Zhilan City to wait for him a day ago.
"Take care, young friend Wei Fan!" Elder Qi Cheng and others clasped their fists.
Liya stepped forward and handed Wei Fan a sign made of polished bones, saying, "This is what the tribe leader asked me to give you. If you meet someone from the White Bone Tribe outside, they will see this sign and treat you as a member of the White Bone Tribe. If they need help, you can use this sign to ask them to help you."
Wei Fan did not refuse and took the dominoes and hung them around his waist.
This is a recognition of him by the White Bone Tribe. Regardless of whether he needs to use this sign in the future, it is the good intention of the White Bone Tribe.
He already knew that the White Bone Tribe was not just made up of the people he saw, there was also a group of strong men roaming around out there.
"Thank the clan leader for me. Take care, Liya. Take care, everyone. We'll see you someday if we're lucky enough!"
After clasping his fists, Wei Fan turned and left, and Liya and the others also walked in another direction.
Half an hour later, Wei Fan met Feng Hua in an inn.
Feng Hua's eyes widened: "You have already reached the second level of Martial King?"
As expected, the outside world was like a fish in water for this monster Wei Fan. It didn’t take long for Wei Fan to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Wei Fan did not explain. He could be stronger, but in order to appear normal, he never used the King of Martial Arts to break through.
The two chatted about what happened after they separated at the ruins that day. Wei Fan had nothing to hide, and immediately told Fenghua everything that happened later.
As for Fenghua, after she was teleported away, she left the ruins directly without gaining anything. She and Wu Yinghui and others were teleported to the same place.
“This is the Three Emperors Sutra!”
Wei Fan took out the Three Emperors Sutra. This was agreed upon beforehand, and he had no intention of cheating.
Moreover, given the characteristics of the Three Emperors Sutra, what one can understand depends on one's personal understanding.
Fenghua took it over with some excitement. Although it was not the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, the Three Emperors Sutra was also an earth-shaking martial art. It was hard to say which one was stronger compared to the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm.
One focuses on the mental method, and the other focuses on the secret technique.
"Is it the complete Three Emperors Sutra?" Fenghua looked at Wei Fan. Obviously she had heard of the Three Emperors Sutra.
The Three Emperors Sutra is also circulated in the outside world, but it is incomplete and one force controls a part of it.
Wei Fan said: "I don't know either. I listened to the Three Emperors discussing the Dao, but when they talked about the Martial King realm, it seemed to stop abruptly because my cultivation was not enough."
"Listen?" Fenghua was surprised and quickly opened the golden book, only to find that there was not a single word in it.
All of a sudden, she became excited: "This is very likely the original version of the Three Emperors Sutra. Even if that underground mausoleum doesn't belong to Qi Daozhen, he is definitely an extraordinary person.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the human race produced three human emperors who led the ancestors of the human race to almost exterminate the demons. Later, in order to strengthen the human race and spread martial arts, the three emperors sat down and discussed the Dao, which gave rise to the Three Emperors Sutra.
The Three Emperors Sutras that everyone in the world knows are all compiled based on the content of the discussion of the Dao. Only the Three Emperors Sutras compiled by the Three Emperors themselves contain the scenes of the discussion of the Dao at that time. "
