Chapter 406 7 Sacred Mountain
Chapter 406 Seven Gods Mountain
"Human wizard, I won't fight anymore. I admit defeat!"
After a while, the battle finally ended with Finn's surrender. After both sides stopped fighting, the stone armor soldiers quickly retracted into his body and turned into complex patterns that merged into his torso.
After the giant stone armored soldiers dispersed, the dusty-faced chief of the Stonetail tribe emerged.
"You win, Wizard Ivan." Finn didn't care about the injuries on his body. He shook his dizzy head and walked forward and said in a muffled voice.
"You haven't fallen down yet?" Ivan said with a little regret.
"If we lose, we lose. We, the Stonetail tribe, are always brave enough to admit our actions." Finn was not stupid. He had been beaten from the beginning to the end. How could he win if he continued like this?
"What about what you promised me?" Ivan asked.
"We will definitely use the strength of our entire tribe to help you find that mountain." Finn said in a sonorous and powerful voice. Seeing the other party's satisfied expression, he took the opportunity to test him: "Do you think you can release my people?"
Ivan signaled to the ants, who immediately understood, and the remaining Stonetail warriors were able to escape.
The strong are respected, and this principle applies everywhere.
After seeing the opponent's tyrannical strength, even the strongest patriarch in the tribe was unable to fight back. The other Stonetail tribe warriors did not dare to question anything anymore. They lowered their heads and stood behind the patriarch, silently waiting for orders.
Ivan did not underestimate the Stone Tribe because he had to know that this was just a small tribe in the far west. Judging from the villages where they lived, there were probably only a few thousand people.
Such a small village can cultivate a third-level strongman like Finn. By analogy, it can be seen how terrifying the strength of the Stone Clan is.
And the stone armored soldiers definitely have more than just the tricks that Finn has.
At the moment, Ivan thought it would be best not to shed blood.
"Chief Finn, fellow Stonetail warriors, have you ever heard of the name 'Panti Mountain'?"
"Panti Mountain? I haven't heard of it. Have you guys?"
"No no."
Faced with Ivan's question, Finn and others were confused. Obviously, they had never heard of such a mountain name.
Ivan inquired further and found out that there were indeed mountains connected to mountains where the rock mining site was located, but they had been dug up by the Stone Clan long ago, with a large part of the credit going to the Stone Tail Clan.
"So, what about the Seven Mountains?"
"Where is the sacred mountain?"
"Golden Mountain?"
"The mountain of life?"
When they mentioned the names of the mountains one by one, all they got was shakes of their heads from Finn and the others.
When mentioning the Centaurs, they could only say a few words of related information, but they had no idea that this place was once related to the Centaurs, let alone that this might be the Centaurs' ancestral land.
In fact, before the Shiwei tribe, other Shi tribes occupied Panti Mountain, and the Shiwei tribe moved here later.
At this time, the old tree man Meg and the fire scorpion had returned one after another. Seeing two more creatures with strong auras, Finn and his companions dared not act rashly. Many of them just hoped that the other party would not vent their anger on their own tribe.
"What about you? Did you find anything?"
"I've walked around the area, and there's nothing unusual on the ground or underground that's worth noting."
Meg and Fire Scorpion also did not bring any good news. It turned out that this was just an ordinary place. Due to the Stone Clan's random digging and modifications, the environment was even worse than ordinary places.
"Abnormal? Are you looking for abnormalities?" Baer, the elderly Stonetail warrior who had previously questioned Ivan, said.
"Do you have any information about this?" Ivan's heart moved, and he stared at him. "No, but we can go back to the tribe and ask." For a moment, Baer felt a lot of pressure. He just hoped that the other party could see his sincerity, so as to ensure that the other party would not vent his anger as much as possible.
As for the Hammerstone Empire behind him, the number of Stone Clan members was countless. If they were valued, they would not live in this remote place.
Once a disaster occurs, it will be too late for the empire to react.
"We are all warriors of the tribe. We don't often collect rocks ourselves, so we don't spend much time at the mining site and can't notice any small abnormalities."
"You are a thoughtful person."
Ivan agreed with his words and agreed to go back with them to the tribal settlement.
Soon, Ivan and his group and Finn and his group arrived at the village of the Stonetail tribe.
This settlement is indeed not big, and is mainly composed of various stone buildings, and the light sources used are all luminous strange stones.
The village as a whole has an exotic feel.
At Finn's call, all the Stonetail tribe members gathered in a small square. No matter male or female, old or young, all of the Stonetail tribe members had a sturdy physique, and the description of them as "broad-shouldered and strong" was the most appropriate.
In the tribe, Finn and Baal were very prestigious, and there was no noise in the small square, even though there were some foreigners not far away.
Baal asked the patriarch Finn for instructions, and after getting his approval, he stepped forward and explained the purpose of gathering everyone here, and asked if anyone had seen anything unusual in the quarrying area behind.
No matter how big or small it is, I will say whatever I want and I will never hold anyone responsible for anything.
After he finished speaking, Finn quickly stepped forward and stated that bygone days would be forgiven, and whoever spoke well would receive a valuable reward and his careful guidance.
"Chief, I dug up a strange stone more than two months ago. It looked red, but it turned black when I held it in my hand, and then turned into powder. I didn't report it."
"Chief, I found an unusual cave in the rock mining area. I went deeper into the cave and found an animal egg. I was a little hungry at the time, so I ate it."
“——”
"I, I was lazy one day and found a remote place to sleep. I don't know how long I slept. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I found a glowing mountain in front of me. I was shocked because there was no mountain in that place."
While the Stonetail tribe members were talking at once, Ivan stood on one side of the small square and did not say anything.
About half a quarter of an hour later, he heard an interesting piece of news and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"Little Debbie, why haven't we heard you mention this before?" Baer understood and asked carefully.
"That mountain was made up of colorful lights and was floating in the air. It didn't look real. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. I thought I was seeing things." The little girl explained, shrinking her neck.
If I had said it before, my laziness would have been known to others.
Now the clan leader said that he would not pursue the matter and would teach her personally, so she said it on impulse. If she had known earlier, she would not have said it.
"Come to think of it, I seem to have seen it more than thirty years ago. It was a mountain covered with colorful lights. The peak was not high, and it disappeared in an instant."
"I remember seeing it, too. I only saw a flight of stairs. The color there was very bright. I walked a few steps forward and I couldn't see it anymore. At the time, I thought it was an illusion created by some kind of illumination."
You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t tell me, but after Debbie mentioned it, many people have seen similar visions.
They were all fleeting. Some people thought they were dazzled, some thought they were just light and shadows reflected from somewhere, and no one took it seriously, nor did they mention it to anyone afterwards.
Ivan listened to everything.
In this case, it is possible that the sacred mountain is hiding itself, exerting a psychological influence on those who have seen it, causing them to involuntarily ignore it.
Afterwards, he did not hesitate to inquire in person, guided them in a proper way, and inquired more thoroughly. All the information he collected showed that the "fake mountain" mentioned by the Stonetail tribe was the Seven Sacred Mountains, the golden mountain, the mountain of life, and the sacred mountain that the Centaurs had been thinking about all the time.
