Chapter 373 What's next? The speed of the King of Beasts' tricksters...
The tricksters in the King of Beasts Court are very fast.
To be precise, when two priests, two sacrificial beasts, including the high priest and the beast king issued orders together, the operation speed of the entire royal court was increased to the fastest, and none of the cunning men in the royal court raised any objection, including some unruly leaders.
All the people on the grassland know the abilities of the High Priest and His Majesty the Beast King, and their foresight is true.
I don't know how much time passed.
When the last grassland man rode his beast and followed the spreading crowd to the barren mountain, Yang Kan had been waiting on the top of the mountain for a long time. Yang Kan and the high priest stood on the top of the mountain together, and behind them was the big tent that had just been set up.
"Sure enough, He is coming." Yang Kan squinted his eyes and looked into the distance until he saw the gray-white aura spreading from a distant direction and gradually engulfing the place where their royal court was before.
The location of this barren mountain is very good. Standing on the top of the mountain, they can see everything below the mountain.
A huge and disgusting worm was constantly moving on the grassland. A grayish-white aura moved along with the movement of the worm. The grassland was dry and looked withered.
Yang Kan recognized who it was.
Stone King.
"..." Yang Kan squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, making sure that he was not mistaken. There was no way he could have mistaken that terrifying gray-white aura. It was definitely the power that only the Stone King possessed.
Yang Kan had no idea why the Stone King, who had been in the desolate land, suddenly came here. Neither the Fire Ghost nor Yang Ling sent any news.
Thinking of this, Yang Kan slowly frowned. There must be something happening here that he didn't know about.
Of course, Yang Kan didn’t know that there was only one clone of the Stone King, the evil god, in the sealed place. He had other clones in other places for such a long time without making any rash moves, and no one had discovered them.
Yang Kan looked at the completely deserted site of the royal court below and couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had foreseen all this in advance.
Yang Kan turned his head and looked to the side, and sure enough, he saw a very fair-skinned young man in a white robe and black hair. It was hard to imagine that the animal nature and the fairy spirit could be combined in the same person and integrated so well.
This is the high priest.
"Is this what you predicted?" Yang Kan looked at the high priest and asked softly.
The high priest nodded and then shook his head.
"His Majesty the Beast King and I have foreseen a huge danger. What exactly it will be, none of us can tell." The Beast King may have foreseen more. After all, at his level, he is no longer the same as an ordinary trickster. The high priest is still no match for the Beast King.
Yang Kan nodded. This was actually what he expected.
Yang Kan turned his head and continued to look down. The aura of the gray-white worm below was still expanding. It kept using its mouthparts to get closer to the ground, sucking up the vitality that was surging up from deep underground. The grassland that originally looked green had turned completely yellow and dead silent. However, the worm showed no signs of coming towards the barren mountain. Instead, it just continued to suck where it was.
This also made Yang Kan raise his eyebrows involuntarily.
Obviously, after sucking the vitality here, this worm will sooner or later go to suck the vitality somewhere else.
Since he entered the grassland from the outside, he will most likely not go back again. He will only move deeper into the grassland.
Of course Yang Kan would not forget that the other tribesmen deep in the grassland were also his people, or at least his future people. He would certainly not sit idly by and watch the Insect King wreak havoc in front of him. Apart from anything else, the grassland was limited in grassland. If the Insect King continued to suck the food like this, the grassland would be completely devoid of vitality. Even if the grassland people survived this time, they might not be able to survive next year due to the lack of resources.
"We can't let it continue to absorb like this." Yang Kan frowned even more tightly when he thought of this. Apart from anything else, as more and more vitality was absorbed, the Insect King became stronger and stronger. Anyone could see that it was reviving.
The high priest sighed and said helplessly: "We can't kill Him."
"Still? Can't stop it."
Yang Kan looked very unhappy.
"Did you expect this? That's why you ran away?" Yang Kan asked the high priest.
The high priest supported his chin with one hand, and his whole body seemed to be glowing in the sunlight. If you looked closely, you would find that he was floating in the air, with his feet not touching the ground at all.
"Yes."
"We can only trap him temporarily. Currently, all means of attack are useless to him. Compared with the royal court, the lives of us grassland people are more important." The high priest said with a chuckle.
"Then let's stay here for the time being." Yang Kan quickly made up his mind and said, "Let Ren go and inform other tribes first. At least we can stay alive first. We can discuss the matter of the pasture slowly."
Dozens of sturdy grassland warriors flew from the mountain towards the pale worms in the distance and prepared to begin the seal of imprisonment.
Qingshan Village.
"..."Xue Qi never thought that there would be a day when he would be chased by someone.
This was an experience he hadn't had in a long time. Ever since he completely left the caravan he grew up in, he had never had such an experience again.
But there was nothing he could do, because the one chasing him was not a human but a worm.
"!!" The first time Xue Qi's handsome figure appeared, he was in a rather embarrassed state. He looked at the villagers of Qingshan Village, while paying attention to the little kids in the crowd. He couldn't forget this. If anything happened to the little kids, if even one was missing, he would not be able to face Shi Qing.
"ah!!"
A series of childish, shrill voices rang out.
Xue Qi subconsciously looked back, then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a small figure very close to the huge gray-white worm. He didn't know when, a little kid disappeared from his sight. Xue Qi cursed in his heart, rushed over subconsciously, picked up the little kid, avoided the hideous mouthparts, and circulated the strange power in his body, narrowly avoiding the gray-white aura chasing him from behind.
Finally, at the last moment, I returned to the crowd in the distance.
The Insect King's clone has no habit of chasing food.
Although the food before him looked very delicious, there was more vitality under his body. The quality was just a little worse, but the quantity was large. The Stone King naturally gave up chasing and chose a more relaxed way of absorbing vitality.
Xue Qi put the Qingshan Village doll in his hand on the ground with cold sweat, and turned around to curse: "Didn't I tell you to take care of the doll? Why did you leave it there? Aren't you afraid that it will be dragged away by the weird?"
The child's parents were crying and laughing while holding their child. When they heard Xue Qi's words, they thanked him repeatedly, but their expressions were also full of confusion.
"I was watching him the whole time, but I don't know why he suddenly ran so far away."
"?" This was the first time Xue Qi heard this, and he felt something was wrong. He trusted Shi Qing, and he also felt that under Shi Qing's governance, there would be no fools in Qingshan Village.
The crowd moved away, and as soon as the noise stopped, a sturdy man walked out from the crowd. He had an ordinary and handsome face, a calm temperament, and slender eyes. He was the village chief of Qingshan Village - Shi Qing.
"Are you okay?" Shi Qing asked Xue Qi first. He also saw clearly everything that had just happened.
Xue Qi shook his head. Of course he dodged it, but he was probably the only one who could do that. Anyone else would have died at the hands of the Stone King.
Of course Shi Qing also heard the confusion of the child's parents. He knew the couple. The child's father was more introverted, while the mother was a good hunter and someone who could be famous in the hunting team. Patience and calmness were indispensable qualities, not to mention the orders he gave personally. Shi Qing felt that the couple would never disobey his orders.
At least not necessarily.
Shi Qing looked down and could only see the top of the child's head.
Although the little kid was frightened, he reacted quickly and kept his eyes fixed on the pale worm in the distance.
"He... wants to eat." The little kid pointed to the worm in the distance.
Xue Qi raised his eyebrows even higher. These words, these feelings, why did they seem familiar to him?
"Run! It wants to eat us!" The little kid gestured and finished the rest of the words.
"What do you mean?" Xue Qi touched his chin, pondering the little kid's words.
Shi Qing became calmer. He answered Xue Qi's question and said in a low voice: "Xue Qi, you said that the Stone King has not devoured us yet. Does it mean that he doesn't want to eat us? Or? Can't eat us?"
"If He eats all the edible life forms, what will He eat?"
