Goodbye, reach a cooperation
The wolf king returned to Luoshan, his tribe’s territory.
The beast world has seven mountains and eight veins. After he returned from Guixu, he successfully drove out the original wolf king and became the leader of the Luoshan tribe.
The old wolf king was deprived of his position, but he was not annoyed but happy. The wolf king was his youngest child, and he had always been disappointed with him. Now that he saw that the wolf king finally had blood, he happily abdicated. He
also said: "You lack the courage to fight and are willing to live in comfort. If you can always maintain the blood of the day you seized the throne, I think even that Wumu is not as good as you."
Prince Wumu? The wolf king sneered. He always looked down on Wumu, thinking that he was just a beast with a brain filled with beastly nature, an extreme personality, and no blood.
The wolf king values emotions over the bloodiness worshipped by the beasts.
In a place in his heart that he never reveals to others, he admits that he prefers the polite and orderly manners of the human race rather than being a bloodthirsty beast.
The wolf king rushed back to Luoshan like a gust of wind. His subordinates wanted to report to him, but when they saw the wolf king's unprecedentedly serious expression, they fell silent in fear - the wolf king was able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the tribe, and he had his own prestige and means.
The wolf king ignored this subordinate and waved his tail and told him to retreat. He was spinning in circles in the cave like a trapped beast.
Qin Ruqing's smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind - he felt that she was deceiving him again.
After a while, she became solemn again - Your Majesty, you can take me as a joke, the truth is there, and Your Majesty will know it if you investigate.
Should I investigate - haha, investigate whether my emperor is dead?
The idea, just turning over in his mind, the Wolf King felt it was ridiculous.
We should tear that human to pieces on the spot! The Wolf King gritted his teeth in his heart. Not a single word of truth came out of her mouth. He must have been crazy to believe such nonsense.
The Wolf King felt that he had made up his mind, and the voices of his subordinates asking for instructions rang out outside the cave.
He was impatient and was about to shout them off, but his subordinates seemed to sense his thoughts and hurriedly stated their purpose outside the cave:
"Chief, it's our emperor. Our emperor summoned the leaders of all the mountains and rivers and said that there are new deployments for the battle!"
New deployments? The Wolf King was stunned. At this moment, what surged in his heart was not relief - relief that the Beast King was not dead. How could he issue an edict if he was dead?
Instead, he felt unprecedented doubt.
The words of that human lingered in the Wolf King's mind involuntarily, "Your Majesty, you will know the truth once you find out."
You will know once you find out.
The Wolf King closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he heard his own low voice.
"Pass the order down, go to Beast Head Mountain!"
-Inside
the Beast Head Temple, the leaders of various tribes gathered. The Beast King did not show up, but used the bronze statue in the temple to communicate with the crowd.
Everyone did not think it was strange.
The Beast Kings of all generations would only show their original form when needed, and usually they would mimic or use bronze statues.
This was done on the one hand to distance themselves from other beasts and highlight the status of the King.
On the other hand, because the original form is too large, it needs to activate the power of blood to fully unfold. Just like a human sword, there must be a reason for it to be unsheathed. Once it is unsheathed, it must do something and achieve some effect.
This is a normal phenomenon, but in the eyes of the Wolf King, who already had doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but think deeply.
How long has it been since my emperor showed his original form? When was the last time?
In the center of the hall, the bronze beast head statue's voice was like a bell: "... Launch an all-out attack and drive the human race back to the human world."
The voice echoed in the empty hall. The Wolf King understood and was stunned.
What my emperor meant was that this war would be unprecedented in scale, and all the combat forces from all over the country would be mobilized, almost like a fight of all forces.
The Wolf King's surprise was not an isolated case. Voices of doubt and opposition arose frequently. Most of the doubts were about: Has the current situation reached the point where they should fight with all their might?
Although the human race is like a mad dog now, it is also very rhythmic, the kind of madness that is rational and strategic. And the beasts are clearly the superior party (although they have been beaten a little bit aggrieved in recent times), is it necessary to be so anxious? But
this time, the Beast King did not sound like he was discussing with the beasts, but rather giving orders, and for this purpose he did not hesitate to use the power of his blood to suppress the voices of opposition.
The pressure was vast, like the sea pouring down from the sky, instantly suppressing all the beasts' bodies, and they all lowered their heads and made sounds of submission.
The Wolf King was also one of the surrendered ones. It was not a good feeling to be suppressed by the power of blood. But this time, he was actually trying to distinguish something carefully and impatiently in the pain.
...It was indeed at the level of our Emperor, and it was no different from the aura revealed by the Emperor during the last memorial service.
But the strange thing was that it was exactly the same.
Who was angry and frightened his subordinates? Not only was the aura, but even the strength, tone of voice, and duration were exactly the same?
Isn't this strange?
The Wolf King's reason told him that there should be no problem. The Emperor's style was the same as usual, could it be wrong?
But his intuition from blood and instinct told him that this was very wrong!
The Wolf King was suddenly impatient. Facing the bronze statue in the temple, he no longer had the instinctive feeling of closeness and awe. He even felt a little irritated and couldn't help wanting to peek at what was behind the bronze statue.
Was he deceived by that human? Or was there really something wrong with the "Beast King" who had just appeared?
After the meeting, the Wolf King walked out of the temple with a gloomy face. A leader who was on good terms with him wanted to come up and talk to him about this, but was suppressed by the Wolf King's low pressure and couldn't help asking, "What, what happened?"
The Wolf King suddenly woke up and saw the Yueshan Beast Leader. He rolled his eyes and deliberately said in a worried tone:
"I still think that my king's move is too aggressive. It's time to mobilize all the troops now. Why bother to start a war if we can peacefully drag the human race to death?"
"That's exactly the truth!" The leader of Yueshan stomped his feet hard, and the mane on his neck trembled like water. He looked around and said in a low voice, "I don't know why the emperor's attitude is unprecedentedly tough this time. I'm afraid he really wants to continue fighting like this."
The Wolf King looked over and invited sincerely: "Why don't we gather all the beast leaders who hold opposing opinions, and then we will go to the emperor to persuade him?"
The leader of Yueshan hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay!"
Several beast leaders from the major mountains returned to the temple and asked to see the Beast King, but were stopped by the emperor's personal guards.
"We have something important to report to the Emperor!" said the leader Yueshan. This was the first time that a great demon king like them was stopped by the Royal Guards.
But the Royal Guards seemed to have received an order, and their attitude was particularly tough, and they refused to let them go.
With a subtle temptation, the Wolf King deliberately released the blood pressure. The Royal Guards, who were usually timid and fearful, were particularly iron-faced today, and they still refused to give in despite the pressure.
The Beast Leader Yueshan was angry and surprised, and said angrily: "I didn't know you were so brave before!"
The Wolf King said nothing, but his heart was heavy. Are you really brave?
He gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk. With the attitude that he would be punished afterwards, he broke into the temple.
With him in the lead, several leaders followed him in. Naturally, the Royal Guards could not stop them.
But when they got closer to the inner hall, there was no trace of the emperor.
"The emperor is not here?" Yueshan Beast Leader was very surprised. Didn't the tribal meeting just end?
"Where is the emperor?" The wolf king released his pressure and questioned the guards who hurried in behind them.
Several leaders put pressure on him, and one of the guards finally couldn't help but say, "The emperor, the emperor is in Tianxing Mountain..."
The leader of Yueya Mountain was puzzled and said, "Wasn't he still in the temple just now? How did he go to Tianxing Mountain so quickly?"
However, this sounded like a bolt from the blue to the wolf king.
Tianxing Mountain, didn't it just echo what that human said...
From the end of the meeting in front of the hall to now, it has been no more than half an hour in total. Did he rush back to Tianxing Mountain on the spot after the emperor's meeting, or, from the beginning to the end... he never left Tianxing Mountain.
"We will also go to Tianxing Mountain." The Wolf King said in a deep voice.
However, they were stopped outside the Tianxing Mountain barrier. "Leaders, let's go back. The emperor won't see guests."
"Could it be that the emperor is really determined to fight, but is afraid of our opposition and deliberately avoids us?" The leader of Crescent Mountain was suspicious and had already decided to retreat after several rounds.
The Wolf King pondered, and suddenly said to the guarding soldiers: "Since the emperor does not see guests, we can ask the prince to come and see us. Isn't he in charge of the blood pool? Since the army will be pressing forward, should the blood pool plan be pushed forward?"
The guard went back to report, and when he came back, he said: "The prince is supervising the blood pool on the top of the mountain, and he has no time to see the leaders for the time being. However, he said that the blood pool plan will not stop until the last moment of the war."
Several leaders looked at each other.
The Wolf King's heart sank at this moment.
-
Qin Ruqing did not wait for the Wolf King to meet him three days later, because the beastman army was pressing forward.
The message from Feng Laozu's spirit consciousness said: "There are at least 50,000 beasts."
"Is this a full-scale attack?" Diwu Sheng looked solemn, full of confusion. Has it come to this? Or has the beast tribe been provoked by something?
No one answered him.
After the battle that day, a heavy rain fell in the beast world, as if to wash away the blood and energy that was rushing to the sky.
Qin Ruqing stood in the rain, silently watching the deep red accumulated water flow to the low-lying land, and finally seep into the soil and disappear. She caught the rain with her hands and closed her eyes.
"Why don't you cover yourself?" Lu Wei approached Qin Ruqing from behind, seeing that her body was already wet from the heavy rain, and water was dripping from the corners of her sleeves.
Qin Ruqing turned around, smiled at Lu Wei, used his spiritual energy to dry his body instantly, and summoned a barrier around him to block the rain. "I want to feel the rain in the beast world. How is it different from the human world?"
"Have you felt anything?" A war made Lu Wei a great master of alchemy. She has always been calm, but now she is calm with an awe-inspiring grace.
Qin Ruqing shook her head and did not say whether there was a difference. Instead, she suddenly changed the subject, "We are now in the territory of Yueshan of the beast tribe."
Lu Wei looked at Qin Ruqing quietly, knowing that this was just an introduction.
"Ancestor Feng's spiritual consciousness has explored the entire beast world. The seven mountains in the beast world are all arranged on a central axis, from Tianqian Mountain to Fault Mountain, followed by Moon Mountain, and then to Tianxing Mountain." Qin Ruqing's voice was particularly clear against the backdrop of the rainstorm. "
And in the battle just now, the beast army drove us from Fault Mountain to Moon Mountain without being noticed."
Lu Wei finally realized something was wrong and frowned: "The beasts are planning to drive us to the heart of the beast world, surround us completely, and catch us all in one fell swoop!"
Qin Ruqing looked at Lu Wei and smiled. Not denying it meant that he tacitly agreed with Lu Wei's statement.
"We can't let them do this. We should go back to the entrance of the two worlds."
"No need." Qin Ruqing shook her head at this time. She looked through the rain curtain at the green mountain forest washed by the rain. "We are bound to lose the game. Now we are deep in the beast world, using the method of injuring 1,000 of ourselves and injuring 800 of the enemy. The purpose is not to defeat the beasts in the battle, but to seek a glimmer of hope in the dead end."
A glimmer of hope in the dead end... Lu Wei's voice became lower and lower. "Where is the hope?"
The master of Dan Dao, who was calm and capable in front of the army, did not hide his hesitation when facing his sister. Qin Ruqing smiled and held Lu Wei's hand.
"Don't worry. The vitality is always there."
"I can feel it, it's coming soon."
-
When the beast army surrounded them and tried to drive them to Tianxing Mountain, Qin Ruqing finally received Feng Yezi's request from the Wolf King.
"I thought the king would not come." When seeing the Wolf King again, Qin Ruqing did not tease him like last time, but just nodded.
The time was urgent, and the Wolf King did not waste words and said directly: "How did you know... this matter."
He still could not say the words "I am the emperor's fall".
Qin Ruqing described the scene he saw behind the barrier that day, and said: "I don't know if the king has noticed the peculiarity of Wumu, but my human race has long speculated that when leaving Guixu, your prince Wumu was most likely possessed and devoured by the soul of the ancient Beast King sealed in Guixu."
"That night when I went to explore Tianxing Mountain, I saw a pair of huge blood-red eyes with a familiar breath. It was most likely the ancient Beast King. Next to him, lay... the body of your current Beast King. Six bronze beast head statues were continuously injected with thick blood in specific positions, like some kind of specific ritual."
"I came to see the king to ask what this mysterious ritual was doing."
The wolf king's expression was not as high-spirited as before, but instead looked tired. During these days, the information he found was enough to cause turmoil in the entire beast tribe, which troubled him and made him unable to sleep or eat.
Beast Eyes looked at Qin Ruqing and said in a low voice: "If it was really the ancient Beast King who killed the current Beast King of our clan, he did this for only one reason, to refine a new beast body so that he could walk on the ground from now on and truly revive."
"Only if the previous Beast Kings knew where the Beast King's vital point was, and his soul-eating ebony body, and the Beast King was not on guard against him, could they succeed."
"He wants to be resurrected and refine a new beast body. What is your attitude, Your Majesty?" Qin Ruqing seemed to be testing, but in fact it was a reminder. The fact that
the Wolf King could meet with her today was enough to explain something.
"Of course I don't want him to be resurrected." The beast's eyes glanced at Qin Ruqing indifferently, "Why do you have to play dumb? The reason you dared to tell me such important news was because you guessed my attitude."
Qin Ruqing raised the corner of his lips slightly, which was considered as tacit agreement.
"As you thought, I don't like war. I find the ideas of this Beast King radical, not to mention the ancient Beast King who was so brutal and cruel that he completely disregarded the people of the Beast Tribe and only wanted to realize his resurrection plan."
"He built a blood pool and hollowed out all the sacrificial temples in the Beast Realm. He dug out all the remains of the ancestors and bones buried in the temples and forged them into the blood pool. He also ordered people to build a blood formation, and all the blood from this war will flow into Tianxing Mountain for his use."
The Wolf King's tone was calm, but Qin Ruqing could hear the anger hidden beneath it.
"No wonder you beastmen suddenly attacked without caring about the cost. You are as crazy as us humans." It turned out that the bloodshed was intentional. The root of everything was that the ancient beast king was refining the beast body and trying to revive. He needed a lot of human and beast blood as a prerequisite. "
The day after tomorrow, our army will attack again. The scale is unprecedented. You will be driven to the vicinity of Tianxing Mountain." The wolf king reminded.
"I know." Qin Ruqing said, his face showed no urgency, and even had a hint of a smile, "All the blood we shed in Yueshan was taken away by him. This rainstorm is not simple, and there are traces of human manipulation of rules. The war the day after tomorrow will be unprecedented in scale. Obviously, he has reached the most critical period of refining the beast body."
"The most critical step is the fusion of the soul and the refined new body." The Wolf King took the initiative to answer Qin Ruqing, "The ancient beast king has great ambitions. The new body he refined not only used a large amount of human and beast blood, but also filled it with the beast cores and bones of countless ancient demon kings. Once successful, the bloodline strength will surpass his peak period."
"But such a powerful beast body will face unprecedented rejection reactions. When his soul enters the new beast body and begins to merge, he will be at his weakest." The wolf king looked at Qin Ruqing with an unprecedented serious attitude, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I have my own plan, but this requires the help of the king. The ancient beast king acted improperly and violated the law of nature. I prefer the king to succeed the new beast king." Qin Ruqing looked at the wolf king meaningfully.
Hearing the words "succeed the new beast king", the wolf king's eyes shifted slightly to the side. He was obviously uncomfortable, but he did not refuse or deny it.
The fear and exhaustion during this period made the Wolf King realize that if he retreated forever, the freedom and leisure he wanted would never come.
Because of his love of fun, he retreated to the human world and became a mountain king. Later, he was expelled back to the beast world, became the son of the leader of the Luoshan tribe again, and then returned to the ruins... His life has been getting further and further away from that of an ordinary demon king.
He can only move forward and sit on the true supreme position as this human has been guiding and expecting him to do, and then he will be qualified to choose his own life.
At this moment, the Wolf King finally understood the real purpose of this human who had been in contact with him and maintained a certain unspeakable relationship.
But the Wolf King didn't care. Today, it is meaningless to pursue the past. He only knows what he wants to do now.
The wolf king said with unprecedented calmness: "I can't betray the beasts, this is the bottom line. Therefore, the last step to destroy the resurrection of the ancient beast king needs to be completed by you."
"At most, I can give you a pass mark for the second barrier of Tianxing Mountain, and cooperate with you to a certain extent in infiltration."
Qin Ruqing slowly exhaled, "It's enough, thank you..." King.
But Qin Ruqing didn't have time to say the last two words, because the wolf king interrupted her.
"The king has another condition."
"Only if you agree to this condition of the king can our cooperation be implemented."
The dagger was revealed.
The wolf king was indeed not stupid. This is a beast with human thinking ability.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Ruqing took a fancy to it and guided it to cooperate step by step.
Qin Ruqing did not feel angry. She accepted it all calmly.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"If your plan succeeds and you successfully kill the Ancient Beast King, I want you to continue to solve the problem of the fusion of the original laws of the two worlds."
"As long as the law issue is not resolved, as the new emperor, I will continue to promote war and never stop." The sound of
rain suddenly became louder, and it seemed that Qin Ruqing was the only one left in the world.
At this moment, many voices rang in her mind.
"... I promised you to save the Sin City."
"I just want to be an ordinary genius, with a little power and enough freedom."
"You are the only descendant of the Taoist..."
"Genius and hero, how do you choose?"
"..."
These voices were mixed and noisy, rushing into her mind like a torrent, and finally disappeared into thin air.
Qin Ruqing raised her eyes calmly, her eyes passed through the blurred rain curtain, and saw the destiny.
Heavy rain poured down. Qin Ruqing said calmly:
"I promise you."
