Three days later.

Xu Yang and Nangong Chongshan came to the hinterland of the Hundred Beast Alliance, the Qilin Mountain area.

In the distance, the Qilin Mountains have a deep red surface.

It can be seen that the power of flames drilled out of the cracks on the surface of the mountain, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance, as if a powerful fire demon was grinding his teeth.

Xu Yang and Nangong Chongshan just looked at it from a distance, and they felt a heat wave hitting their faces.

"The Flame Mountain opposite is the holy mountain of the Southern Beast Alliance, Qilin Mountain. After Nangong Chongshan finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and saluted.

Nangong Chongshan explained: "The Wild Bull tribe I belong to is one of the tribes under the Hundred Beast Alliance. The location of Qilin Mountain is just in the center of the Hundred Beasts Alliance, and it is the place where the Hundred Beasts Alliance was established, and it has become a sacred mountain recognized by the Hundred Beasts Alliance. Therefore, when you see the Qilin Holy Mountain, you should be respectful and worship. ”

Xu Yang learned from Nangong Chongshan, performed the ceremony of folding his hands, and then said: "The Qilin Holy Mountain can be worshiped by all ethnic groups, and I am fortunate to see it today, it is really majestic." ”

Nangong Chongshan said: "The original formation of the Hundred Beast Alliance was composed of three major races, namely the Lin Clan, the Earth Snake Clan, and the Overlord Beast Clan. Later, after thousands of years of tribal expansion and alliance, the Hundred Beast Alliance, which now dominates the entire Southern Regions, was achieved. With the Hundred Beasts Alliance as the core and some other important tribal forces in the Southern Regions, the central tribal alliance of the Southern Regions was formed. If there is a conflict between tribes, it will be mediated by the elders of the tribal alliance in the center of the Southern Regions. The other tribes had to pay tribute to the tribal alliance in the center of the Southern Regions with various precious resources, known as the Sui Gong. With the tributary system, the large tribes felt that they had received the respect and benefits they deserved, and the smaller tribes also avoided being wantonly robbed by the large tribes. After a long time, the entire Southern Regions became safe and prosperous. ”

Xu Yang nodded and said, "Although this year-old tribute system sounds very unfair, with order, there will be peace and prosperity." ”

The Southern and Northern Regions are the two most important and most extensive regions on the Zhongyuan Continent.

Before Xu Yang arrived in the Southern Regions, he thought that there would be crazy wars and brutal killings between tribes every day in the Southern Regions.

The beliefs of the various tribes in the Southern Regions are all kinds of natural totems, without exception, which is a manifestation of primitive backwardness in the eyes of the people of the Northern Regions. In addition, there have been many large-scale conflicts between the Southern and Northern Regions in the long history. For this reason, the Southern Regions are often referred to as the Savage Lands among the people of the Northern Regions.

Like the Southern Regions, the Northern Regions have their own rules of order.

The prosperity of the Northern Regions was established under the four major religious orders of Ghost Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The ghost sect has the Heavenly Ghost Sect, the Confucian sect has the Yu Daomen, the Buddhist sect has the Golden Buddha Temple, and the Taoist sect has the Qinglian Dojo. The Four Great Sects represent the interests of the four powerful faiths and occupy the most resources in the Northern Regions. The strength of the four major sects is comparable, and they contain each other, which also brings relative stability and prosperity to the Northern Regions.

Xu Yang compared the two in his heart: "The central tribal alliance is in the Southern Regions, which is probably equivalent to the status of the four major sects in the Northern Regions. ”

Xu Yang plucked a strand of his own hair and pinched it on his fingertips, slightly urging the mana.

The furious fire power in the nearby air quickly converged as if it had smelled its prey, and the surface of the hair immediately stirred up sparks, and then ignited a fiery serpent, writhing, and then extinguishing it after a moment.

"The place where I stood now was more than ten miles away from the holy mountain in front of me, and the power of the fire spirit here had already manifested itself so violently. It seems like we're going to have a hard time getting closer along this road. Xu Yang looked at the road under his feet and said.

"Legend has it that this Qilin Sacred Mountain was originally a place where heavenly fire fell, and the fire demons were raging, and there was no grass to grow, and human beings could not survive at all. Later, the Qilin Holy Clan descended, subdued the fire demon, and used the power of fire to produce a large amount of fire spirit stone minerals, which made this place prosperous. In order to commemorate the Qilin Holy Family, this mountain is named Qilin Holy Mountain. But in the last year

The ground fire in the Qilin Holy Mountain broke out out uncontrollably, and the fire wave swept for hundreds of miles, causing huge fire damage. It can also be said that the current situation is not normal. Nangong Chongshan explained.

Xu Yang thought in his heart: "One of the purposes of this Qilin Sacred Realm Open Trial is to enter it, find the Qilin Holy Beast, and destroy the fire demon." If there is a Qilin Holy Beast, there is a chance to get the Qilin True Blood on its body, and Lin'er can recover her health. ”

Before, the Flame Demon that Xu Yang defeated in the Heavenly Beast Mountain and the Wind Demon that he defeated in the Flying Feather Heavenly Palace were the same.

And these monsters that were originally tamed, existing in different spaces, but concentrated in one period of time to explode, is really incredible. Is it really like the legend, it is a chain disaster caused by the movement of the dragon's vein?

At this moment, a red whirlwind swirled out of thin air on the ground in front of the two of them. The red whirlwind converged, revealing a tall man in a red robe.

"You two are so bold," the red-robed man looked angry, and flames were about to erupt from his eyes, "I don't know if the Qilin Sacred Mountain has been banned within a radius of thirty miles? ”

Nangong Chongshan saw the unicorn pattern painted on the red robe behind the red-robed man, and he knew the origin of the other party, and he must be the caretaker and deacon of the Qilin Holy Mountain.

Nangong Chongshan secretly sent a message to Xu Yang: "As one of the eight seeded players who have been selected to participate in the Qilin Festival, before officially participating in the event, you must keep your identity secret. ”

Nangong Chongshan took out the piece of the golden mountain order of the Manniu tribe that he carried, handed it over, and said: "We are warriors from the Manniu tribe, I heard that the Qilin Festival is going to be held, so we have come to watch and learn." ”

The red-robed man took the token of Nangong Chongshan, looked at it on the front and back, and muttered in his heart: "It's the Jinshan Order of the Barbarian Cattle Tribe." It is said that there are no more than a handful of people in the entire Manniu tribe who have the Jinshan Order, and the identities of these two must be very noble. ”

The red-robed man returned the Jinshan Order to Nangong Chongshan, hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be a guest of the Manniu tribe, and I am a deacon who is specially responsible for attracting guests who come to participate in the Qilin Festival, my name is Yuan Lu." ”

Nangong Chongshan clenched his fists and said, "It's troublesome Lord Deacon." ”

Xu Yang stepped forward, handed over a storage bag containing ten high-grade spirit stones, and said, "My brother and I came to Qilin Holy Mountain for the first time, and we don't know the rules, please forgive the deacon for the offense just now, and give me a lot of advice." ”

The red-robed man who called himself Yuan Lu took the storage bag, which was heavy, like a seesaw pressed on the tip of his heart, and his face suddenly showed joy, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The Manniu tribe is also one of the most important tribes in our Hundred Beasts Alliance, and everyone is their own people. ”

The red-robed man easily took the storage bag Xu Yang had just given him into his arms, and his heart was full of joy, these two were VIPs with status and status, and they were also generous.

The red-robed man said: "The unicorn festival is about to be held, and many guests from afar have come to visit. Now, there are still three days left before the official opening of the unicorn event. The two sons came at the last point. Starting today, the post stations and roads to and from Qilin Sacred Mountain have been closed. Within ten miles of the Qilin Sacred Mountain, it has also been temporarily classified as a forbidden place, and it will only open when the grand event begins in three days. ”

After the red-robed man finished speaking, he walked to the side of the road and turned a sign poked on the side of the road with his hand, revealing the handwriting behind it.

"This road is forbidden, to participate in the unicorn festival, please go to the Red Flame Heavenly City ten miles away. The red-robed man pointed to the handwriting on the sign and read.

Nangong Chongshan said: "It turns out that the road sign is here, and someone really needs to guide the way." ”

Xu Yang asked, "Lord Deacon, I heard that there are still two additional places left in this year's Qilin Saint Realm Trial. ”

The red-robed man first looked at Xu Yang carefully, and then

Hou said with a serious face: "This son, it's right to ask me this question, I, Yuanlu, have been a deacon in Qilin Holy Mountain for twenty years, so there is nothing I don't know." The highlight of the Qilin Festival is the Qilin Sacred Realm Trial. There are a total of 10 spots for this year's Sacred Realm Trials, but eight of them are seeded and will be announced by the Chief Archwizard before the event begins. For the remaining two places, as long as they are tribes summoned by the Canglong Order, they can recommend candidates to participate in the selection. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded, and said, "However, I guess there are not a few people who are qualified to compete for the two places, I don't know what the selection criteria or methods are?"

The red-robed man said: "I think the son is extraordinary, and he must have a stunt." But if you want to compete for the remaining two spots, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. The competition for places is divided into two parts. The first is to set up a test link of unicorn stone. The unicorn stone is also known as the Devouring Divine Stone, which can devour the soul power of a cultivator. If you want to move the Qilin Stone, it is difficult to do it without the cultivation of the Daoming Realm. Secondly, it is the second and most critical link. ”

Speaking of this, the red-robed man paused, and then shook his head slightly.

Xu Yang said: "Please make it clear to Lord Deacon, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will break through." ”

The red-robed man lightly adjusted his cuffs with his hand, and said three words seriously: "Beast Tower." ”

Nangong Chongshan on the side heard this, and seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but show a little nervousness on his face, and said: "Heavenly City Beast Tower, Hell Ghost God Gate." ”

It was the first time Xu Yang had heard of the words Overlord Tower, but when he saw Nangong Chongshan's somewhat nervous expression, he knew that the Overlord Tower was an extremely difficult challenge.

"This eldest prince is right," the red-robed man gave a thumbs up, "Heavenly City Beast Tower, Hell Ghost God Gate." These ten words are enough to explain the weight and difficulty of the challenge of the Beast Tower. ”

Xu Yang was still calm and asked, "How do you say it?"

The red-robed man said: "The Overlord Beast Tower, located in the Red Flame Heavenly City, was originally a martial arts competition place specially placed by the Overlord Beast Clan and open to outsiders. As one of the three major races founded by the Hundred Beast Alliance, the Tyrant Beast Clan has always been known for its ruthless martial arts. I, Yuan Lu, am an ordinary disciple of the Overlord Clan. ”

Speaking of the overlord clan, the red-robed man raised his eyebrows and looked proud.

After a pause, the red-robed man continued: "And there is only one challenge rule for the Beast Tower, life or death. ”

Xu Yang smiled slightly and said, "That's no better." ”

The red-robed man looked at Xu Yang's relaxed appearance, looked surprised, and said, "The challenge of the Beast Tower is a life of nine deaths. You're going to take on a challenge, what's so good about that?"

Xu Yang said: "It's because it's nine deaths." So, I don't think anyone has been able to successfully pass the challenge of the Overlord Tower until now, right? ”

The red-robed man nodded and said with a serious face, "I just came over there yesterday." Not a single person who passed the challenge of the Beast Tower, but it was already eighteen people who died in it. For the rest, no one dared or cowardly wanted to look at the Tower again. ”

Xu Yang said seriously: "Although the eighteen people who failed to challenge are regretful, they all made a brave choice. Nine deaths and one life, I, Xu Xiaoxian, must fight a way out of life in the Beast Tower. ”

Nangong Chongshan walked over and patted Xu Yang's shoulder with his hand.

Then, the two of them strode side by side in the direction of the Red Flame Heavenly City indicated by the sign.

The red-robed man was shocked by Xu Yang's self-confidence on the spot.

He looked at the direction in which Xu Yang and Nangong Chongshan left, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and whispered to himself: "Xu Xiaoxian, this name is interesting. If he can successfully challenge the Overlord Tower, I can be regarded as seeing a big man with my own eyes today. ”
