Chapter 178: The Secret of the Ninefold Mountain Range
Hugh looked at the flask in his hand in surprise, and wondered why Bai Cangqiong wanted to give him a flask with hot wine.
Bai Cangqiong smiled slightly, raised the wine jug and said to Hugh: "You elves have always liked forest areas with suitable temperature and cool air, and you are not used to coming to the depths of this snowy region for a while, right?"
Hugh nodded, and did not deny his statement, indeed, he has lived in a forest with a suitable temperature since he was a child, so whether it is a snowy region or a desert, or the volcanic area they are about to go to, it is actually a place he doesn't like, but he also knows that it is almost impossible to do everything according to his own preferences in this life, even if it is an ant crawling on the ground, it is impossible to choose his own life, let alone a person like them.
"It's okay! It's impossible to stay in one place forever for a long time, and if that's the case, I'm afraid I won't achieve anything in my life. "Such a comfortable life is what everyone yearns for, but it is what people like them desire and can't reach, don't talk about him, even if it's the white sky, his cultivation is already so high, but he can't live as he wants, he can only say that the higher the cultivation, the more you can do what you want to do.
Bai Cangqiong nodded, raised the wine jug, took a sip, and then said: "Drink a little and try it, although this wine is relatively strong, it has no stamina, and it is very suitable for warming the body." β
Hugh nodded, and took a tentative sip, he didn't drink much, so after this small sip, he only felt that his throat was burned by fire, and it hurt hotly, but fortunately, it was only a temporary feeling, but after a while, this feeling disappeared with the wine entering his stomach.
A warm feeling emanated from his stomach, but in a moment, his whole body warmed up, as if the ice and snow outside were not so cold.
"Actually, I've met you once. Bai Cangqiong looked at Hugh with a smile in his eyes, and his tone and sitting posture seemed to be casual and lazy as chatting with Hugh.
Hugh raised his head to look at him, his eyes were full of confusion, he was trying his best to recall, but he still couldn't find the picture he had seen with Bai Cangqiong, so he could only honestly say, "I have no impression." β
Bai Cangqiong smiled slightly, and said: "Of course you won't have an impression, because I just saw you, you were chased by a group of ordinary white wolves, and you were escaping in embarrassment, I happened to pass by, so I glanced at you, you still have a lot of arrows on your back, I probably glanced at it, knowing that you won't be treated by those wolves, so I left." β
At that time, he saw that he was a member of the elven clan, and the elven clan were good at longbows, and regardless of men, women, and children, they were all good at bows and arrows, and Hugh should have just entered the Nine Mountains at that time, and he looked at the number of arrows on his back, and then looked at the number of wolves, and knew that this young man could shoot all the wolves before he used up his arrows.
Hugh has been in this nine-fold mountain range for so many years, and this kind of situation has only been encountered when he first came to this nine-fold mountain range, at that time, his cultivation was not as good as now, and he did not have a stone, so he would carry at least two dozen arrows on his back, afraid that he would encounter some demon beasts after his spiritual power was not enough, so he used it for self-defense.
I didn't expect them to meet so long ago, which can be said to be fate.
Hugh showed a smile and said: "Because the cultivation is too low, I can only carry arrows on my back to defend myself, and I didn't dare to walk around at that time, I could only practice and expand my range of activities after getting familiar with it in one place, and I was afraid of being targeted by a fierce demon beast like the wolves." β
Bai Cangqiong nodded, changed the topic, and continued: "There are not many people in your elf clan, right?"
Speaking of this, Hugh also showed a rather helpless expression, then nodded and said: "Yes! Since the Eternal Life Spring was stolen six hundred years ago, the elf clan has been in decline, if the Eternal Life Spring cannot be recovered, I am afraid that our elf clan will completely disappear from the demon world in thousands of years." β
"But, haven't you found hope for your elven clan?" Bai Cangqiong all pointed to look at September who was making a fire with Qianxue and them, although he didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was obvious.
Hugh's face changed slightly, and the expression on his face became a little nervous, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but look at the white sky, and asked word by word, "How do you know?"
Diametrically opposed to his reaction, the expression on Bai Cangqiong's face was relaxed and ordinary, and he said in a light tone: "What's so strange about this, although our white mink clan has never been born, but there are some things that we all know, you know, I absolutely know, and besides, I know, you must not know most of them, for example, the turmoil in the demon world six hundred years ago, and for example, why did the demon world send so many of its descendants to the human world and the demon world, you don't know any of this, right?"
Hugh opened his mouth, he could only look at the white firmament, he really didn't know, just with his identity as a minor member of the elf clan, how could he possibly know these things? In fact, until now, he couldn't guess what the reason for the white firmament to come down by himself was, could it be that it was just to talk to him about this?
Even if he said this, but he was just an elf with a very low cultivation, even if he told himself these things, what could he do, a person with a high level of cultivation like him in the white sky could only sit here helplessly and wait for his opportunity, could it be that he could still do more than him?
Bai Cangqiong smiled faintly, looked at Hugh's green eyes, sighed before continuing: "The demon world is also unlucky, just two things that maintain the balance of space, and one was actually stolen, causing the major demon beast families to send out the bloodlines of their clans one after another, afraid that one day the demon world will fall apart, they don't want to think about it, the six realms are a balance, if the demon realm is gone, can the rest of the five realms be saved?"
Hugh's face changed again, although Bai Cangqiong said vaguely, but he understood the meaning of his words, it seems that six hundred years ago, their elven clan lost the fountain of eternal life, and the demon world lost the treasure that can support the balance of the entire demon world, although their elf clan is dispensable for the demon world, but now he has a feeling, could it be, the person who stole the elf fountain, and the person who stole the treasure of the demon world, is actually a person?
"Don't guess, you're not mistaken, otherwise what would I leave you here for?" Bai Cangqiong raised his head and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, his expression was lazy, and his tone was also lazy.
"By the way, since I've said everything, why don't I tell you one more thing!" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, coupled with his peerless face that was even brighter than the breeze and the moon, such a smile made people feel pleasing to the eye no matter how they looked at it.
But this kind of smile, in Hugh's eyes at this moment, felt a little scary, he was just a small low-level person, but this white sky told him these things that even their patriarch didn't know, which made him feel a sense of fear inexplicably.
Bai Cangqiong seemed to sense his fear, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm telling you this, it's just because you will become the patriarch of the elf clan in the future, as long as you are given enough time, you can completely make the elf clan strong, so I will tell you these things first, even if it is a show in advance!"
Hugh was even more surprised when he heard his words, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you say this?" Their elven clan has a patriarch, although it has been in retreat for many years, but even so, no one has ever said that a new patriarch will be re-elected.
Bai Cangqiong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "You don't care how I know, you just need to know that you are the only elf in the elven clan who can directly attack people's spirits with bows and arrows, don't you know that if your cultivation reaches more than two thousand years, ordinary demon beasts will not be able to resist your longbow at all?"
Hugh was stunned for a while, and only after half a sound did he say: "Everyone in our elven clan is good at bows and arrows, but everyone is good at it differently, this... What's so strange?" "No matter who it is, the higher the cultivation, of course, the higher the damage, what difference does it make between him?"
Bai Cangqiong gave him a smile that you were too innocent, looked at September, and said softly: "Do you think that if it weren't for your specialness, you would become the fiancΓ© of the princess of the cat demon royal family?
"Impossible!" Hugh denied the White Sky without even thinking about it, "If I am really that special, how could they have left me alone for so many years?"
"Hehehe..." Facing Hugh's rather excited expression, Bai Cangqiong suddenly chuckled, and even the wine jug in his hand trembled a little, he looked at Hugh's eyes as if he was looking at a child, and said in a rather meaningful tone: "That's because you don't know, your elf clan originally moved out of the Ninefold Mountain Range, so no matter the lord of the Ninefold Realm, he won't let the people of your elf clan have an accident here, otherwise you think that with your cultivation, you can survive in this Ninefold Mountain Range for so many years?"
His questioning made Hugh speechless for a moment, he had always thought that he had been able to survive in this nine-fold mountain range for so many years because of his own caution and luck, but he didn't know that the real reason was actually because of this, such a fact, it was really... It's powerless!
Seeing that he gradually accepted the facts, Bai Cangqiong continued: "This Ninefold Mountain Range is the center of the Demon Realm, do you know why no one knows what the center of the Ninefold Mountain Range is?"
Because of Bai Cangqiong's words, Hugh's heart was still a little shocked, and when he heard his question, he just shook his head lightly, looked at him with a little numbness, and let him go on.
