Chapter 372: Relocation of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South. Bats...
Ten thousand mountains in the south.
The bat beast moved very quickly, however, the message on its feet still did not reach the right person.
Because at this time the 100,000 mountains in the south were already in chaos.
The outermost mountain range of the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the territory of Yanshan. Yanshan is ranked relatively low among the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The most famous strange plant in the mountain range is just a swallow walnut that is close to the blood grudge level. If it were not for this rare strange plant with special flesh and blood talents that allow the strange people to grow an extra pair of hands or feet, and because this mountain is located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, otherwise the strength of the strange people in this mountain range alone might not be able to be rated into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The strange men in Yanshan also shouted along with Yan Zihetao, and most of them had the surname Yan.
Yan Lie is one of the sneaky men on this patrol.
"It's so quiet outside this time. It seems that the group of wandering cultivators haven't come here during this period. Did they go to Qingshan Village ahead?" Yan Lie was sitting beside the road at the mountain pass. He first looked around to confirm that there was no enemy attack, and then he was in the mood to talk to his companion opposite.
Yan Qing is more stable. As you can tell from his name, Yan Qing is a wood-attributed ghost, while Yan Lie is a fire-attributed ghost. Although people don't judge ghosts by their attributes, fire-attributed ghosts are indeed more lively than ghosts of other attributes. Yan Qing is also used to Yan Lie's personality, so he is very calm.
When Yan Qing heard Yan Lie's words, he just frowned. This situation was indeed a bit abnormal.
"Qingshan Village is quite far away. They can't possibly go to Qingshan Village first. Why should they come to Shiwan Mountains first? Could it be that a new gathering point for independent cultivators has appeared not far from us?" Yan Qing said softly.
Yan Lie was the first to overturn Yan Qing's guess and said flatly: "Impossible, you know the recent situation. The Stone King is about to wake up, and the academy has also notified the independent cultivators. Even if those people didn't know at first, they must have been notified by others later. They must have collected resources and hid at the first time. It is impossible for them to have time to establish a new gathering point." Yan Lie's words made sense.
When Yan Lie came to this point, he seemed to be thinking about something and said, "That's not right. Could it be that something really happened?"
Yan Lie couldn't help but lower his head as he thought about it. He didn't know why, but he always had an uneasy feeling in his heart. He felt that this situation was really abnormal. He wanted to go to the front to take a look, or at least find out what happened. He couldn't just guess here.
"A Qing, if it really doesn't work, let me go to the front and take a look. You stay here. If anything goes wrong, remember to inform the mountain master. Don't worry about me." Yan Lie quickly made up his mind and said.
There was silence.
The only response from Yan Lie was silence.
"?" Yan Lie was confused. He didn't hear a reply. That was not right. Ah Qing couldn't possibly not reply to him. Yan Lie raised his head in confusion and asked, "Ah Qing, why didn't you reply to me?"
Yan Lie looked at Yan Qing and found that Yan Qing's face was very pale, as if he had seen something very terrifying.
Yan Lie looked in the direction Yan Qing was looking, and saw a huge pale worm moving towards that direction. He recognized the identity of the giant worm instantly.
"!!"
"Stone King?!!"
"Isn't the Stone King in the wasteland? How come he appears here so soon?" Yan Lie's expression turned pale instantly. He didn't look much better than Yan Qing.
"No, that's not right. This one is not the Stone King from the Barren Land. Judging from the surrounding situation, it should have just come out from underground. Lord Fire Ghost and Lord Yang Ling have been guarding near the Barren Land. They will definitely notify us if anything happens. Now there is no sign of them, which means this Stone King should not be the one from the Barren Land."
".....Damn it, it's coming this way!" Yan Lie looked at the gray-white worm that had been moving on the ground and suddenly raised its upper body as if it sensed something. Its upper body with countless insect legs paused in the air for a moment, and then moved towards the direction of Yanshan.
"A Qing, go and inform the lord and the others first." Yan Lie stood up anxiously and turned around to leave.
Yan Qing looked at Yan Lie bitterly, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's useless, it's too late----"
Before he could utter the last "δΊ†", Yan Qing was already enveloped by a gray-white aura. All his life force was sucked away, and he was petrified on the spot.
Yan Lie wanted to call out, but the next second, he saw a huge gray-white figure appear in front of him. Its countless insect legs seemed to be moving slowly above their heads. The disgusting feeling of the insect legs climbing above their heads, and the mouthparts were simply the most disgusting and hideous mouthparts he had ever seen. Then his consciousness fell into darkness.
This was also the last scene Yan Lie saw.
He too was petrified.
The grayish-white aura was like an invisible plague, constantly infecting the entire mountain. In just a few short breaths, all the grass and trees on the mountain were instantly covered in black and white. Grayish-white became the only main color in this world, dead and quiet, without a trace of life.
This silent infection is still expanding.
Yanshan was soon infected to the center, and the ancestor of Yanshan quickly noticed something was wrong. He naturally knew the Stone King and his abilities. When he sensed that Yanshan's vitality was constantly being infected, he immediately wanted to push the young man in front of him out of the garden.
"Run away."
"Master Mountain Master!" The child ran away desperately. He knew his duty and that he had to listen to the Mountain Master's words. He tried his best to use his strange power to get away from the gray aura that was chasing him. He couldn't help but want to look at the Mountain Master who had just pushed him, but when he turned around, he could only see the Mountain Master petrified.
The grayish-white aura is not so easy to escape. It is silent and even a Blood Grudge-level trickster can hardly escape the capture of the aura. Soon, a small stone statue appeared in the corner of the garden.
"Sha... shasha..." The sound of the insect's feet rubbing against the stone kept ringing in a certain rhythm. The gray-white giant insect completely ignored everything that happened on the mountain and ignored all attacks. Its silent aura was like its invisible big hand, catching all prey.
Wherever the giant insect went, the gray-white color completely infected its surroundings. When the Stone King came down from Yanshan, the originally vibrant mountain range had completely turned into a dead mountain.
The Stone King is still moving.
The Court of Beasts.
Yang Kan was talking in a low voice with his sacrificial beast Ah Qing. No one around them could understand what they were saying. Only they could understand each other. This was the result of their practice together.
The Beast King has been restless recently, but Ah Qing has no idea what he is restless about.
"Moo---" Ah Qing's soft cry sounded in the tent. Ah Qing rarely made any sound, not to mention since it returned to the Central Royal Court. No one knew what the King of Beasts said to Ah Qing, but the big blue ox's cry became less and less. This was a rare time that Yang Kan heard the sound of his sacrificial beast.
[I asked the Beast King, but He refused to say anything. He just kept saying things like "Danger, danger" and so on. The High Priest should know better.] This is what Ah Qing meant by his cry.
"Ah Qing, don't be anxious. Calm down first. Did the Beast King say anything else?" Yang Kan first comforted the big blue bull in his arms. Because of his words just now, the big blue bull had already placed its entire head in his arms. Yang Kan could only comfort the sacrificial beast while asking patiently.
Yang Kan actually already had some guesses in his mind.
This time it is very likely related to the Stone King.
The Wanshou Royal Court is a very special force. They are a nomadic force. Many cunning warriors rely on this tribe and the Central Royal Court. Many secrets are only known by the priests of the Central Royal Court.
For example, this continent seals countless gods and has also given birth to countless gods. Some gods have disappeared, while some still exist. No one knows why the gods disappeared, but we only know that their power inexplicably ran out one day, and then they disappeared.
More gods are experiencing a decline in power.
Of course, this is also because the evil people on the continent do not know how to completely eliminate the gods.
They can only rely on various tricks to destroy the power of the gods and forcibly erode the gods' strength, so that they can only maintain their activities within a certain level of strength. This is also the origin of many battlefields on the continent.
The actions of the evildoers were effective, at least they allowed humans to reproduce and thrive on the continent.
Among so many gods, there is only one exception - the Stone King.
This ancient god is the oldest, most mysterious, and has the greatest reputation among all the gods. Almost anyone who knows a little about the legend has heard of the Stone King's reputation. He has never appeared, which means that his power has never been erased by any means.
In other words, He is in His original state.
Yang Kan knew more about this than the other tricksters. After all, he was still a shareholder of Taiqing Trading Company, and the information database of Taiqing Trading Company was open to him. The other people passed the news to him first. Yang Kan knew that the Stone King would soon revive.
Thinking about it this way, what can the Beast King predict? Can he predict the awakening of the Stone King in advance? Not necessarily.
Thinking of this, Yang Kan couldn't help but ponder.
"Report!" A hurried voice suddenly came from outside the tent. Yang Kan could tell that the person was the guard at the door. His breathing was a little rapid, as if he had just run over from a distance. He was panting and his tone was a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Yang Kan turned his head and looked towards the door outside the tent.
At the door, a guard bowed respectfully, and then at Yang Kan's signal, he spoke and made his intention clear: "The high priest has ordered that the crisis is about to come, and we must leave here as soon as possible."
Yang Kan frowned: "Did the high priest really say that?"
The location of the Wanshou Royal Court was chosen with great care. It is truly located in the center of the entire Wanshou Prairie. After so many years, all the surrounding tribes know that the Wanshou Royal Court is in the center of the grassland. Every time they pray, they face the center of the grassland.
It can be said that this position has special significance. No one is willing to change the position of the royal court unless it is absolutely necessary.
The guard nodded affirmatively. He also knew that this request to leave was very abrupt, but he couldn't help feeling flustered and anxious when he thought of the high priest's expression when he said this. It was an extremely solemn expression, and he had never seen such an expression on the high priest's face.
Seeing that Priest Yang Kan still had a skeptical expression, the guard could only emphasize again: "The high priest said that we must act as soon as possible. The crisis is gradually approaching here." Being able to become the guard of the king's tent, this cunning man has a high status in the royal court. His life span is also very long, which allows him to see many things.
"Me? Got it." Yang Kan chose to believe the high priest.
Although Ah Qing's abilities were slowly growing and becoming stronger, Yang Kan had to admit that Ah Qing was not yet as capable as the Beast King. Yang Kan also believed that the high priest would not joke about such an important matter.
Yang Kan just agreed with a serious expression.
"Priest Yang Kan, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you." The guard hesitated for a moment, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Please believe what the high priest says. The situation on the high priest's side is very serious, and the high priest will never lie."
Due to his duty, the guard could not reveal more. He could only tell everything he saw indirectly. After he said all this, the guard refused to say anything.
"..." Yang Kan immediately became much more serious when he heard this. The guard would not lie to him. It seemed that everything happened in the main tent. The Beast King might have expected something.
"Since we have decided to leave, let's move quickly and tell the leader to speed up. Has the high priest told us where we are going?" Yang Kan nodded and turned to look at the guard.
The guard nodded and said, "The high priest has also gone to remind the leader. When I arrived, many people in the tent were already packing up their things. They should be able to leave soon. As for where to go, the high priest also said that they were going to the nearby mountains."
The mountains not far away.
Yang Kan knew where it was.
It is located no more than thirty miles away from the central royal court. The mountain is not very high, and the vegetation on the mountain is not lush. It can even be said to be a bit barren. Sometimes when the weather is bad, even the grass will not grow. When the tribe herds sheep, they rarely go to that mountain.
To be honest, this location choice really exceeded Yang Kan's expectations.
However, this was the common choice made by the high priest and the Beast King, and Yang Kan had no choice but to obey it even if he had doubts.
Yang Kan sighed silently.
Yang Kan subconsciously touched Ah Qing in his arms. Since the guards came in, Ah Qing had not said a word and stayed quietly in his arms.
The smooth hair slid across his fingertips, and Yang Kan pinched it instantly and rubbed the hair. Looking at Ah Qing's clear and gentle eyes, Yang Kan suddenly remembered something.
"A Qing..." Yang Kan touched his face and said in a low voice.
The big blue ox raised its head silently and met the gaze of its worshiper.
"Anyway, our abilities are not needed for the time being, so why don't you take this opportunity to figure out where is the best place for us to go next?" Yang Kan whispered to the big blue ox.
Ah Qing was silent for a while, then he slowly opened his eyes and mooed softly.
"Is it that mountain too?" Yang Kan was a little surprised after hearing the voice. He didn't expect that the result calculated by Ah Qing was exactly the same as that of the Beast King.
So that means that mountain is indeed a good place?
"Then go ahead." Yang Kan continued to speak to the guard.
The guard was paying close attention to the conversation between Yang Kan and the sacrificial animal Aqing. When he heard that Yang Kan wanted Aqing to calculate again, the guard couldn't help but feel worried. He never expected that the result would be the same.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief and became deeply alert to the impending crisis.
The two sacrificial beasts also felt uneasy. This crisis was probably very big, so big that even their Central Royal Court could not withstand such a calamity.
