Chapter 323 The Wilderness
Chapter 323 The Wilderness
Dark forest.
The death of the White Elephant King caused a riot. Thousands of white elephants ran wildly, trampling the grass and knocking down the trees. For a long time, the White Elephant King devoured countless of his own kind and was always a nightmare lingering over the population.
Half a day after the battle ended.
A winged tiger crouched down and walked into the canyon. It came to the remains of the White Elephant King, carefully tore off a piece of dry flesh, and then stood there waiting nervously for a while.
It took more than ten minutes and nothing happened. As soon as it was sure there was no danger, the winged tiger devoted itself to eating.
All the alien species who saw this scene went crazy, and all the beasts rushed forward like a tide. When a whale fell, all things came to life. Even though the dead White Elephant King's blood had dried up, his head had been lost, and even his tusks had disappeared, it could still fill the stomachs of countless alien species and become the nourishment for the birth of a large number of alien leaders.
However, at the same time, the intensity of the riot among the white jade elephants rose again. This time they were not celebrating, but escaping. Without the Elephant King, many leaders of small silver-ranked tribes began hunting. The Python King, who was similar in strength to the Termite King, swallowed seven white jade elephants in succession, looking like he was not afraid of destroying his prey.
With the canyon as the origin, the area within a thousand miles is full of chaos and hunting.
As the instigator of everything, Jiang He has already locked down the location of the land island turtle.
When they arrived at the familiar blood spring, all the alien species that gathered here to drink water fled in advance. Unlike the highly vigilant White Elephant King, the Land Island Tortoise seemed unusually slow.
Jiang He jumped directly into the blood spring and went straight down. He felt like he was in an underground river. The sticky and heavy blood wrapped his whole body. Finally, due to the circulation of the heart pumping blood, the river-like blood carried him towards the heart of the land island turtle.
Bang!
Jiang He bumped into two flesh and blood petals that opened and closed from time to time. He activated the Flash Elegy and teleported ten meters forward, successfully bypassing this obstacle.
As the time went on, the silver-level creature's lung oxygen supply began to run out. Fortunately, he still had a portable temple acting as an oxygen tank. According to Lilith, when the creature forged a golden body, it would completely get rid of such worldly troubles, and even the main breathing method would change accordingly.
Boom!
Jiang He crashed into the heart and began to absorb blood immediately. The endless flow of blood was transformed into nutrients for the growth of blood poison through the blood spider's ability. The spider pattern on his back was therefore filled with blood.
The increasingly severe pain caused the land island tortoise to emerge from its dormant state. Its huge body, which covered an area of hundreds of meters in radius, rose from the ground. Its limbs were thick and tall like buildings. Its head, as big as a hill, stretched out from its shell and let out a roar like a beast.
Roar!
The wave swept out.
The land tortoise began to move like crazy, crushing countless large trees into powder, but the enemy had penetrated deep into its heart, leaving it helpless for a while.
Boo!
Suddenly, a pale white cloud falcon fell from the sky above the clouds. Its size was far from enough to block out the sky, but it was still considered a big guy. The cloud falcon swooped down along the shadow, and its extremely tough beak pierced straight down.
Click!
The bird's beak pierced through the turtle's shell, leaving another fountain of blood.
Pressured from both inside and outside, the Land Island Turtle struggled in vain for a long time before finally collapsing and dying. Its heavy body crushed the forest below, and the Cloud Falcon raised its head and let out a delighted scream.
In the shriveled heart that had been drained of blood, Jiang He sent a message to the team members through his animal companion.
The Ludao Turtle is huge in size and contains rich extraordinary factors. His Gluttony Lord can plunder passive abilities from it. It is a trophy that must be recovered and can be transported with the help of Zhuang Ya's giant snake form. As for himself, the most urgent task is to complete the evolution of the blood poison.
[Ultimate Blood Poison LV50→LV82 (causes 92% additional poison damage) (LV50 Ultimate Skill: Drinking Regret Poison)]
With a silver spear paving the way, Jiang He flew out from the turtle corpse of Lu Dao, and his blood wings struck the air. A stream of light instantly landed on the back of Yun Falcon. Due to its huge size, the surrounding area was as big as several basketball courts, and the feathers under its body were spread out like a carpet, as tough as steel.
Boo!
The Cloud Falcon screamed and flapped its wings, trying to use a sudden pull to throw the enemy away, but unfortunately the Longhen Dragon Spear had already pierced into its back, and the spear body extended to penetrate it front and back. The iron and blood thorns spread, gradually penetrating into its internal organs, and blood rushed to its heart.
The Yun Falcon flipped, stopped suddenly, and paused in the air at high altitude, trying its best. When it found that it was useless, it burst out at its maximum speed.
The knife-like gale cut towards Jiang He, but his Overlord Body of the Immortal Level easily withstood the damage, and the extreme effect corresponded perfectly, which was at the upper level in the Silver Stage. The special effects included perfect-level strength, stamina, and agility, which meant that these passive blessings alone were enough to make him rival the normal peak and even overwhelm them.
The wind howled and the dark forest retreated rapidly.
Jiang He still had the leisure to look down at the earth, after all, his prey was already at the end of its rope.
To the east of the Dark Forest is a icy cliff, to the west is an endless yellow-brown desert, and in the very center of the Dark Forest, a thousand-meter-high towering tree stands between heaven and earth.
"On the Shaoshi Mountain, hundreds of plants and trees grow in a granary. On top of it stands a tree called Dixiu. Its leaves are like poplars, and its branches are five-branched. Its flowers are yellow and its fruits are black. Those who eat it will not get angry. It is a heroic plant creature, a mythical form of the Dixiu tree. It bears 365 fruits a year. It is also called the "no-sorrow tree". Eating it can relieve worries, that is, suppress negative emotions."
Lilith's gentle voice echoed in my ears.
Jiang He frowned slightly, "How did you know that?"
"When the moon rises, I can get some intelligence wherever the moonlight shines. This is the authority of the Red Moon. Of course, in my current state, it is difficult to cross the world and conduct in-depth investigations. After all, the Saint Lilith is still far from being fully recovered."
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang He replied. The other party's hint was very obvious, but he did not intend to restore the Saint Lilith to a level far beyond his own. After all, the two sides could not talk about complete trust and were just reluctantly forming an alliance. After being promoted to a first-class golden battleship, the Saint Lilith failed to devour any warship.
The cloud falcon flew over the dark forest and finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

boom!
The Yun Falcon landed, stirring up a large cloud of dust.
Jiang He looked around. The dark forest was in the south, and its edge was only a dozen miles away from here, visible to the naked eye. After leaving the forest, the terrain turned into a plain, and it looked wild and desolate everywhere. But before, he seemed to have seen human habitation in the sky.
Not long after, a group of aliens with charcoal-black skin and ape-like shapes rushed over. They chattered with each other and spewed orange flames from their mouths when they spoke.
The leading guys were actually silver-level creatures, each holding a stone rope and leading a black dog. These black dogs looked ordinary, but they could spit fire and were extremely strong. Only five of them bit Yun Falcon's body and dragged it successfully.
The tallest of the tan people came forward with a black dog and questioned him.
"what country are you from?"
The charcoal people surrounded someone with unfriendly looks. Entering the territory to hunt without permission was a provocation. If the cloud falcon did not live in the area, the fight would have started by now.
Jiang He thought about it, then opened his mouth and spit out flames.
"what!"
“Relatives who are stranded outside!”
"You are so ugly. So ugly."
"No wonder I didn't come back. It's probably because of my low self-esteem."
The communication between the silver wills was extremely fast. After a moment, the flames turned pale gray.
The tall charcoal man's pupils constricted, and he watched helplessly as the flames turned into dark green, golden yellow, pitch black, and bright red, which were far more colorful than orange.
"A charcoal man among charcoal men."
"Unprecedented!"
"We must bring him to the king. The young king has it."
A group of charcoal people danced around the young king who had suddenly appeared, their faces filled with joy.
Jiang He coughed twice and said:
"excuse me."
"I hope to exchange this cloud falcon for a black dog."
Before this, Lilith had already provided information.
This group of guys are citizens of a country that hates fire. Rich families usually raise a black fire-eating beast that looks like a dog, called "Huodou". It can breathe fire like the local people, and therefore often brings disasters to the people of that country. The Huodou King raised by the country's ruler "Tan" is a golden creature.
The vast wilderness is called the Great Wilderness by the local creatures. It is covered with strange mountains and seas and is boundless. There are forty-eight countries in total. The founder of a country is called the king. Only the golden giants are qualified to be in the position by virtue.
Forty-eight foreign countries respected "Zhou" as the superior country. The king of Zhou at that time was called "You" and his power was unfathomable. There were also some feudal states within the Zhou Dynasty, which evolved etiquette and systems.
At this stage, the Great Zhou, the marquisate and the foreign countries have formed a coalition to jointly resist the survival threat posed by the alien species in the wilderness.
However, while alien species pose a threat, they are also an important source of food in the primitive stage.
"Big Yunshun, ordinary Huodou are not worthy." The leading Tanmin pleaded eagerly: "Young Lord, please come back with us. The bloodline of the Huodou King can only be controlled by the Lord and the Young Lord."
There was a brief silence.
"Please lead the way." Jiang He nodded. He was very interested in the King of Huodou. His offspring's bloodline might be suitable for Lao Hei. Both of them were big black dogs, so there was a basic degree of compatibility.
But the biggest problem is how much blood can be inherited during the blood transplant. Lao Hei is cultivating the true form of the three-headed demon wolf, not a pure dog breed, so it is difficult to obtain all the blood potential.
The charcoal people danced and expressed their emotions without concealing their feelings. When the cloud falcon fell from the sky, everyone thought it was just an ordinary blessing from God, but they didn't expect that an even greater blessing was to come.
Tan Minsheng is in charge of the flame. The stronger the flame, the higher the status. The master of the supreme level of flame is equivalent to the king "Tan". The only difference is the strength of both sides.
……
A valley deep in the plain.
Tens of thousands of charcoal people live here.
Burning various things into charcoal becomes the food of the charcoal people, and all the feces, including the feces of the raised ogres, are scorching hot charcoal.
Magma was flowing on the ground, and the poisonous smell of sulfur was diffused. In the center of hundreds of magma channels, a volcanic rock palace stood. The hundred-meter-tall King Huodou was lying on the ground at the door, his body towering and huge. A large group of charcoal people were transporting magma to water the King Huodou's fur. It was the guardian of the Fire-hating Country.
In the Huoyan Palace, King Tan was entertaining the nobles from the upper country.
The three dukes and six ministers in the central government of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the six celestial officials are all true giants at the peak of gold, clearly distinguished from ordinary gold, and all of them have built their own fields.
Chunguan Zongbo was in charge of ceremonial and sacrificial affairs. He had visited most of the foreign countries and marquisate states during this trip, planning the wedding ceremony for King Ji You of Zhou after he ascended the throne.
Each country must send the most beautiful man in the country, and finally one person will be picked out after layers of selection to be the queen. Because King Ji You of Zhou was the most powerful king in history, lived for more than a thousand years, and had difficulty reproducing, all the concubines were deposed, and even the queen was just a symbolic choice.
"Master Zong, please look at this boy." King Tan respectfully introduced the young Tan people beside him to the heavenly officials and the earthly officials.
"Tanhuo, 18 years old, is a descendant of the Huo family. He is the most talented person in Yanhuo country today and will soon enter the silver realm. Before the arrival of the heavenly official, Tanhuo had already fallen in love with my daughter, but my country is willing to devote all its efforts to the country above and offer this son to her."
Chunguan Zongbo looked at the charcoal fire for a while. The other party had an ape-like body, a round face, and a body as black as charcoal. He looked very distinctive, but did not conform to the mainstream aesthetic of the Zhou people, especially when a female emperor was in power.
However, he had not originally planned to recruit suitable candidates in a foreign country. He just went to the Marquisate, so he had to come to a foreign country. There were countless dangers in the wilderness, and only one-tenth or twelve of the places had been explored so far. The foreigners were the ones who needed to be won over.
"I remember before I came here, the Swamp People's King once said that the Tan people repeatedly elected young kings, but they all died unexpectedly one by one. Six of the ten sons of Huo Dou have died." Chunguan Zongbo said meaningfully, "Kings who treat their subjects too harshly rarely have a happy ending."
Different from the inheritance system of the Great Zhou and the Marquisate, foreign countries are more like tribal groups, with strong and intelligent members serving as leaders.
For "Tan", all young kings are enemies that may threaten him in the future. The same applies to the pure-blooded descendants of the King of Huodou. The purest bloodline must be in his own hands to be safe. However, according to the rules of the tribe, the young king is qualified to choose his partner, and behind the rules is that the Huodou must swallow fire to survive.
The Yanhuo Kingdom belongs not only to the Tan people, but also to the Huodou people, and is ruled by two kings.
Chunguan Zongbo reminded the other party implicitly that he did not want to see the collapse of the Yanhuo Kingdom, and what Tan did was about to touch the bottom line of the Huodou King outside the door.
"Please rest assured, Master Zong, everything is as stable as a rock." King Tan smiled awkwardly, but his eyes did not care.
"Haha, then take care of yourself. I didn't come here today for these trivial matters."
Chunguan Zongbo gradually sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty, do you think this boy can make the preliminary list?"
Upon hearing this, King Tan was bewildered at first, and then his expression became extremely frightened. He left his rock chair and knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling slightly. Among all the countries in the Great Wilderness, there is only one person who can be called His Majesty.
Behind Chunguan Zongbo, a graceful figure with a majestic aura emerged. Her figure was illusory, and she wore a crown and a black robe with sun, moon and dragon patterns woven on her shoulders. She was surrounded by nine blurry large tripods. Her face was exquisite, but it was a pity that she was too noble and majestic, making her appearance unremarkable.
"You found a monkey to fool me?"
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"
