Chapter 276: Ancient Race, Cannibal Tribe

About 20 kilometers west of Hukou County, Jiangbeizhou, there is a beautiful hill called Longnu Mountain.

It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, in that dark age. Also in this place, the two powerful demons, Shanjun and Niejiao, committed crimes and brought disaster to the area.

The local people were living in poverty and suffering.

A passing female monk saw injustice and first cut off the head of Shanjun, and the blood dyed the whole mountain red. Then she subdued the Niejiao and adjusted the feng shui. In the following hundreds of years, this place has always been prosperous and has a good harvest every year.

To this day, more than 2,000 years have passed.

The world has changed, and dynasties have changed several times, but the myth and belief of the dragon girl have been passed down.

At this time, Longnu Mountain.

At dusk, red light was everywhere.

On a bluestone path on the hillside, two figures, one big and one small, were climbing up. The red light at sunset hit them, casting a long shadow behind them. Occasionally, there was a breeze blowing through the mountains, and the trees on both sides swayed and made noises.

These two people were Su Heng and Ke Yulan, who had traveled through mountains and rivers to find the statue.

Ke Yulan told Su Heng about some of the local inherited beliefs, and then added, "To this day, there are still people offering incense in the Dragon Girl Temple."

"This is incredible." Su Heng nodded slightly, but he couldn't help thinking. More than two thousand years ago, there was no unified dynasty at that time. In that dark age, humans were kept in captivity, and it is estimated that there was no such perfect practice system as today.

Under such unfavorable conditions, he could still go this far and step into Changshengtian.

The person must be amazing.

Thinking like this.

Su Heng continued to move forward and bypassed a hillside.

Going up further, he came to a flat land halfway up the mountain, and the Dragon Girl Temple appeared in front of Su Heng and Ke Yulan.

There was a stone statue inside, which looked like it was carved from ordinary rocks. The face of the statue was blurred and mottled due to wind and sun. It can only be vaguely seen that she has a good charm, a graceful figure, and two dragon horns between her lush hair, winding upward.

A lush locust tree next to the Dragon Girl Temple casts a shadow. Many wooden plaques for praying are hung on the treetops, tied with red ropes, and are swaying gently with the evening breeze.

The scenery here is very good and the view is wide.

Standing here, you can see the lights lit in the village below, and the smoke rising in the sunset. Su Heng has good eyesight and can even see children running back and forth on the ridges of the fields, and farmers carrying hoes, smiling, chatting and slowly rushing home.

In just less than a year, so many things have happened in Jiangbeizhou. The advent of demons, the invasion of the Skeleton Plain, and the current out-of-control of the demon tide... This place looks unaffected at all, just like a paradise, very rare.

Is it really the blessing of the Dragon Girl?

Su Heng retracted his gaze and fell on the dragon girl sculpture in the temple in front of him.

Letting go of the perception, Su Heng sighed and shook his head gently. Under normal circumstances, if the owner of the statue is still there, he can feel a certain connection between the spiritual fields. It's like a line that connects the two and plays the role of an "anchor point".

And now, the spiritual power in the dragon girl sculpture in front of him is still there, and it has not dissipated in more than two thousand years.

But this "line" is gone.

This shows that the ancestor worshipped in the Dragon Girl Temple has long died in Changshengtian.

Changshengtian, Changsheng... Although after breaking through Tiangui and reaching the realm of earthly immortals, one can touch the realm of longevity to some extent. But the actual situation is not that simple. The situation in Changshengtian is much more dangerous than what Meng Huan and himself described that day.

In the past few days.

Su Heng and Ke Yulan have explored a total of seventeen statues.

Among the seventeen statues, only two can feel the existence of their owners. The rest have all become ownerless objects.

No matter how glorious the legend was, in the end, it turned into a handful of dust in Changshengtian and dissipated like smoke.

A sigh.

Su Heng's hands never stopped moving.

There was a faint red light in his eyes, and the air flow under his feet surged. The withered yellow grass circled outward and spread, causing ripples. The spiritual perception spread out, and the Heavenly Demon Method was activated to integrate the remaining spiritual force field in the Dragon Girl Temple into his body.

Then, under the erosion power of the Seed of Destruction, it was refined and absorbed.

As for the Dragon Girl Temple, under Su Heng's careful control, it was not damaged, and Su Heng even used gravity to reinforce it a little.

After a while.

"Huh!" The red light in Su Heng's eyes spread out.

Ke Yulan's eyes on the side lingered on Su Heng for a while, just a dragonfly-like glance, and then quickly moved away. In just such a short moment, she could feel that the spiritual power emanating from Su Heng had increased significantly.

But the same thing happened in these few days.

Ke Yulan had already experienced this more than a dozen times, from the initial shock to the current numb adaptation.

On the other side, in addition to the residual spiritual force field obtained from the Dragon Girl Temple. Su Heng also obtained a magical power left by the Dragon Girl from the statue. This magical power is called "God Movement", and the effect is somewhat similar to the legendary shrinking the earth into an inch.

It is necessary to use the spiritual power of the warrior to connect to Changshengtian to achieve the effect of short-distance teleportation.

Su Heng's comprehension is quite good.

Even if the Dragon Girl's inheritance is partially incomplete, it doesn't matter.

After several attempts, he succeeded. Su Heng lowered his head, took a step forward, and his burly figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was more than ten meters away. After trying a few more times and mastering it, Su Heng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In the liberated state, Su Heng's body was too large.

Some attacks can only be resisted, and it is impossible to avoid them effectively.

After mastering the "divine movement", Su Heng can deal with the same situation in battle in a more calm way.

"This is the seventeenth statue." Ke Yulan took out a scroll from her arms, picked up a charcoal pencil, and lightly drew a hook on it. Then she raised her head and said to Su Heng, "Now there is only the last statue left, but this statue is a bit weird."

"What's the weird method?" Su Heng asked.

"The being enshrined in this statue is not a human being." Ke Yulan replied, "I don't know the specific origin, but I guess it is an ancient race."

"Moreover, there have been many strange stories about this statue before. After that, it was banned by the authorities until today."

"Ancient race..."

Su Heng remembered that Meng Huan had mentioned it when talking about Changshengtian before.

In Changshengtian, these ancient races are as dangerous as demons. But in the real world, do ancient races exist? Thinking of this, Su Heng had some curious thoughts in his mind. He has never been afraid since he practiced, let alone just a statue.

Su Heng immediately said to Ke Yulan, "Lead the way, let's speed up the progress."

Counting with his fingers.

It has been more than three days since Meng Huan left.

Under normal circumstances, the talks between the immortal sects and the aristocratic families should be during this period.

The three major immortal sects and the four major families have never been a monolithic entity. Especially when the myth battlefield comes and they are really facing a test. It is very unlikely that they will really sit down and discuss countermeasures during this meeting. There is a high probability that it will be filled with the smell of gunpowder, and even the possibility of conflict cannot be ruled out.

…

Leave Longnu Mountain and go west.

Su Heng and Ke Yulan soon came to a mountain called Black Wind Mountain.

This mountain is shrouded in a faint miasma, and the fog is pervasive. You can't see the moonlight when you look up. It's pitch black all around, and you can't see your fingers. In the lush jungle, there are faint wolf howls, and the leaves are shaking. I don't know if it's the wind or the wild animals moving in it.

If it's an ordinary caravan walking here at night, I'm afraid they will be scared to death on the spot, and they will be worried.

But Su Heng didn't have so many concerns.

Just disperse the breath on his body a little bit.

The wild animals in the surrounding mountains and forests, as if they encountered a natural disaster, fled out with their tails between their legs.

Especially in the depths of the dense forest, the branches rustled, and flocks of flying birds flapped their wings and flew towards the depths of the overlapping mountains in the distance.

Led by Ke Yulan, the two continued forward.

"Huh!?" Su Heng suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something unusual.

Ke Yulan turned around, but did not ask any more questions.

"Someone has been to this place before." Su Heng touched his chin, frowned, and had a thoughtful look on his face.

This desolate place, coupled with the statue, was officially blocked. Under normal circumstances, no one should have set foot here. Su Heng's perception was sharp, and judging from the remaining aura, the other party was not a cultivator.

Then, it should have just been a mistake.

"It may be because of the demon tide." Ke Yulan speculated, "Some people fled and came to this place."

"It's possible." Su Heng vaguely felt that things were not that simple, but he gradually became a little excited, "Go and have a look."

Su Heng said immediately.

His figure flashed, and he performed the magic movement.

He passed directly by Ke Yulan, and when the latter came to her senses, Su Heng had already appeared more than ten meters in front of her. Moreover, the bushes and thorns on both sides were all fallen, and a road was separated. Ke Yulan quickly came to her senses and followed Su Heng.

They continued walking for a while, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.

There was an open space at the foot of the mountain with a bonfire on it. There were temporary buildings around, very rough, decorated with animal fur and teeth. At first glance, it was like coming to the primitive age millions of years ago.

In this small village with a burning bonfire, a wild and primitive charm came to the face.

"Ah!!!"

Su Heng had just pushed down the bushes in front of him when he heard a scream.

Looking around, next to the bonfire, a skinny middle-aged man tied to a rack was beheaded by several dark figures. Several big hands stretched out, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound, the body of the middle-aged man was torn into pieces and thrown into the boiling huge soup pot at will.

"What's going on!?" Su Heng was surprised. He didn't expect to see a cannibalistic scene here.

But there are many wild beasts in this mountain forest. Logically, there should be no shortage of food. It is only when we get to this point.
