194. The terrible Great Elder
"What kind of beast is that Great Elder!"
For the cubs or adult beasts of the entire continent, the true body of the elders of the Divine Mountain is a mystery, and the true body of the great elder sitting at the peak of the continent is even more fascinating.
"Well, I don't know!"
Although there are nine elders in the sacred mountain, this elder is just a title. This elder does not refer to a beast, but to the beast that has inherited the position of an elder.
When an elder knows that his beast will not live long, they will leave the position of the mountain and go to find their successor beast to continue their work on the mountain in their place. So one day you might find out that the cub who drank and spilled with you decades ago is the rumored Elder!
However, this is rare, because once they accept the position of Elder of the Sacred Mountain, it means that they will have to stay in the Sacred Mountain for the rest of their lives, except for going on missions and looking for inheritance beasts. And the tasks carried out by the elders are not like those issued to the cubs, and their trivial matters that make small fuss must be enough to cause the security of the mainland. And at this time, unless they are the beasts concerned, other beasts will not be able to see them.
"Didn't you say that they had their own responsibilities, what is the Great Elder responsible for?" Hu Xiaoqi, who was holding the fox's head on the side, was very puzzled at the moment, although everyone knew that the Great Elder had great power, but they didn't know what he was responsible for?
"Well, I don't know......
emmm...... As soon as he arrived at the Sacred Mountain, he hadn't reacted yet, so he was inexplicably selected by the Great Elder, and then thrown away to read the clan canon. Although the Great Elder was his guiding beast, he hadn't seen the Great Elder in an informal setting a few times in the hundreds of years he had been in the Sacred Mountain, and this was the second time he had met the Great Elder in an informal setting.
The two of them didn't say anything, and as soon as the Great Elder came, he just asked him to give this to the cub who saw him for the first time after the snow-capped landslide.
So whether this thing is for Hu Xiaoqi or not, he doesn't know. Anyway, he just gave it to whoever he first met according to what the Great Elder said, so when he saw that it was Hu Xiaoqi, then give it to him!
Although he didn't know what role the Great Elder played in the Sacred Mountain, he knew that the Great Elder had a very powerful innate skill, which was prophecy.
To be honest, he didn't quite believe in the innate skill of beast prophecy.
If it could really be predicted, then how terrible should this beast be?
But when he stood in front of the Great Elder and accepted the consecration from the Great Elder, he reluctantly believed that something really existed.
When he was discovered, sent to the Sacred Mountain, and then selected by the Great Elder, it was all foreseen by the Great Elder in advance, so he would arrive at the Divine Mountain so smoothly.
Perhaps it was because he foresaw all of this that the Great Elder was backlashed, causing him to be in retreat except for matters that were so important that he could only come forward to solve them?
Knowing in advance what happens in the future comes at a cost. Depending on the value of what is prophesied, the price to be paid is also different. In a lighter way, it may be the cost of coughing for no reason for several months in a row, but it is important to note that you may die in a few hours after you know it.
He didn't know how much damage his arrival had caused to the Great Elder, but he knew that at least his arrival was not as terrifying as this time when the Great Elder handed Bai Jing into his hands before he went out.
He was afraid that he would never forget that the Great Elder's hair, which was as black as night, turned pale than snow in that moment, and his face was as white as a dead beast in that moment.
The hair color of the beast is dyed white, otherwise it will only turn white when it is on the verge of death.
Although his hair color had changed and his breath had become unstable, the Great Elder still calmly told him what to do. After staring at the matter, the Great Elder took out a flower in front of him that was specially used to dye his hair, began to dye his hair black again, and then took out the painting powder that only female beasts use, and began to apply makeup on his face.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this Great Elder was half dead one second, and his face was the same the next, and he would definitely not be able to see anything wrong with the past.
If the Great Elder hadn't gagged him in advance and tied him up, he might have started screaming the moment the Great Elder's hair turned white, instead of just watching the Great Elder direct and act in amazement.
"What should be said, you have to remember to bring it. Don't spread the word about what you shouldn't say!"
Looking at the Great Elder who was threatening him seriously and dyed his hair at the same time, Beibei wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
How important it must be to make the Great Elder make such a big change, Wow, he actually handed him a cub whose hair didn't even grow. Was it because he was usually too high-profile and caught the attention of the Great Elder?
In fact, he really wanted to say that he was not reliable at all, and he must not put this matter on him. But he couldn't speak, because his mouth was gagged.
Generally speaking, cubs accept tasks by covering their paws on the task list. That order is a kind of contract similar to a military order. This contract has a post-mission reward and a penalty for not completing the mission. If the cub does not complete the task within the allotted time, then the punishment for this slip takes effect.
Trust him, absolutely no cub will like this kind of punishment that is tailored just for them.
If you want to ask, can you refuse?
Oh, yes, if you want to accept a punishment that is tailored to you in advance.
To be honest, this task system is the most successful system of Mount Kinabalu, and it is also the least humane.
The success lies in the fact that every cub who signs a contract will have a radical change as soon as they go out to complete the task and come back, and this change will only be for the better.
For this task list, no matter how you look at it, many cubs will not hesitate to sign it.
But for Beibei at that time, he felt that it was a journey with no return. Don't say it's a reward, maybe he will fold halfway.
And now it seems that the Great Elder is really pitted.
He was afraid that he had already calculated him, and he would not go according to his wishes, so he did not let the accompanying adult beasts decide or stop him from going. At that time, he was angry but helpless, and when he went home to pack his things, he forgot to bring his nest for a while, so he was sick this time.
Wherever he goes, it is random, depending on his mood that day, he will go wherever he likes, and he will stay if he likes, and there is no law at all. Even if that illness was in his calculations, how could it know that he would pass through that snowy mountain?
Or did he already see it, so he didn't stop it?
He seemed to remember that the contract he had been forced to sign said that the accompanying adult beasts were not allowed to change the course he was going to take in any way if he did not want to.
What hell is it......
