Volume 1 The ups and downs of life Chapter 23 Inheriting the mantle

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when the fire fox was stuck in the crack, he also held a big round ball on his paws, saying that it was its thousand-year-old cultivation experience, and the secrets of the Force were all in that ball.

Later, when the fire fox fled, he didn't take it with him, so he didn't know where he lost it? Wang Xiaotian's consciousness was fully opened, and the entire sea of knowledge was suddenly well understood. Soon he found the ball beneath the surface of the sea.

He recalled it carefully, and realized that this ball was the first time he manipulated the sea water into a fist to knock the fire fox away, and the ball flew off the claws of the fire fox, fell into the sea of knowledge, and slowly sank.

If it weren't for the middle-aged male voice reminding him, Wang Xiaotian wouldn't have remembered this big round ball at all. In that case, it will sink at the bottom of the sea of knowledge, and in the future, as Wang Xiaotian grows up, the sea of knowledge will become wider and more vast, and the seabed will accumulate thicker and thicker.

Finding the ball, Wang Xiaotian manipulated the sea water to push it near the island. The sphere is as large as an island.

The middle-aged male voice said: "This is the crystallization of the old fox's thousand-year-old cultivation, which is very huge. You haven't grown up yet, and the capacity of the sea is limited, so don't unravel it rashly. When you grow up, it's not too late to unravel it little by little and absorb its experience. ”

Wang Xiaotian agreed with his opinion. Then he looked at the crack in the barrier of consciousness. He tried to manipulate the barrier to heal the cracks, but nothing moved.

Wang Xiaotian wondered, didn't he say that I can do anything in the sea of knowledge?

"This is a wound brought by an external force to the barrier of consciousness, which cannot be healed by your consciousness alone. The middle-aged male voice saw Wang Xiaotian's confusion and explained: "However, if the crack cannot be repaired, it is very easy for external consciousness to invade here, directly threatening our safety." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock suddenly cracked at the edge of the island, covering an area of a quarter of the entire island. The huge rock suddenly rose into the air, softened in the air, turning into something like jelly, and then slowly tapering and lengthening, as if two invisible hands were rubbing it.

By the time it rises below the crack, it has become exactly the same size and shape as the crack. It slowly embeds itself into the crack, like flowing mercury, quickly filling every tiny branch of the crack, and when all the details are completely filled, it glows softly white. The white light flickered a few times and then disappeared, and the entire consciousness barrier was completely integrated, without the slightest flaw.

What is that? Wang Xiaotian wondered in his heart.

"That's another consciousness. The middle-aged male voice explained: "For the sake of our safety, he sacrificed himself to fill the cracks like Nuwa. ”

He paused, then said, "You should go back." The two of us were also injured a lot because of the forcible unlocking of skills, and it took time to recover. I know you have a lot of questions in your mind that you want to ask me, but you don't have time. ”

"When you can freely enter the sea of knowledge, I will slowly tell you why. Take care, we can help you here, and you'll have to rely on yourself outside. Good luck. Good bye. ”

The next moment, Wang Xiaotian opened his eyes. When he saw a huge and terrible thing in front of him, he immediately let out an exclamation, pushed it away without thinking, jumped up and ran away.

Wang Xiaotian ran away a few steps, and when he looked back, it turned out that it was the old fox man's body that he pushed away. It fell straight down, its legs "clicking" twice, and it sounded like it was a broken leg bone. Its head hit the pot, its neck made a "click" sound, its head hung down on its chest, and its body fell on the fire, making several "click" sounds one after another.

Wang Xiaotian felt strange, why did the bones of the old fox man break when they were touched like rotten dead branches?

He suddenly remembered that the old fox man had said that he had lived for thousands of years, and if he had lived with this body for thousands of years, the bones would definitely be crispy, and only by wrapping it in the outer layer of fur would not fall apart. No wonder the old fox man walks so slowly.

Eh, what about the old fox man? Didn't he escape from his own sea of consciousness? Where did he go? Did he return to his original body?

Wang Xiaotian looked at the old fox man again, and saw that the embers in the fire pit had ignited the hair on the old fox man, but the old fox man's body did not move, and he was obviously dead. Soon the old fox man's whole body was burning, and the house was suddenly filled with the smell of burning.

Wang Xiaotian wanted to run out, but suddenly remembered Lin Daoming again. He turned around and ran two steps towards Lin Daoming, and was about to wake him up to run quickly, when he heard the voices of several brute orcs outside:

"Why does the high priest's room smell of burning?"

"It's not good, something has happened to the high priest, come into the house. ”

Five brute orcs rushed in from outside the door, led by a fifth-level werewolf Kuka, and two fourth-level leopard people and two fourth-level werewolves. When they came in, they saw the old fox man the high priest lying on the edge of the fire, and his whole body was burning. The human boy (Wang Xiaotian) was looking at the few brute orcs who came in in a panic.

"Save the High Priest. The two leopard men rushed over as they spoke.

"It's useless. Kuka stopped them, "I didn't sense the soul of the High Priest, who must have ascended to heaven. ”

After hearing this, the two leopards and the two werewolves all fell to the ground, howling in a lost voice.

Kuka also lay down in the direction of the old fox man's corpse, howled twice, suddenly got up, and said loudly, "Now is not the time to grieve. Yellow Paw (a leopard man answered), you are fast, immediately go to Crouching Tiger Ridge to report to the chief (the leopard man nodded, got up and left quickly), and asked the chief to come to Dagang Village. Red Tail (a werewolf answers), you immediately report to the Young Chief of the Long Fangs. ”

"No need. A deep orc-man voice came from outside the room, "I hear you moving. "A tall tiger man with two particularly long upper canine teeth bent in, and it was none other than the young chief's long teeth.

The door to the hut was only as high as Longfang's chest, and it would take him to bend almost all the way to get in. The roof of the cabin was not high, and after entering, he could not stand up straight, so he could only prostrate himself on the ground, roaring twice, and the shaking cabin fell to the earth.

"Kuka, how did the High Priestess die?" asked Fang.

Kuka shook his head, "I don't know. The High Priest's body had been burned when we entered, but no soul of him had been found. ”

Changfang turned his head to look at Wang Xiaotian, "Is it a ghost he did?"

Kuka's eyes were like knives, and he looked up and down a lot of Wang Xiaotian.

Wang Xiaotian was stared at by his gaze, only to feel cold all over his body, and his tail vertebrae seemed to be frozen by ice.

Glancing at the two of them, Kuka said, "He only has first-level Force, and it is impossible for him to kill the High Priest." ”

Teething puzzled, "That's even weirder." The High Priest is already a top-notch combat force among our barbarian orcs, and there are you guards outside, who has such a great ability to kill the High Priest silently? Could it be that an eighth-level powerhouse of the human race has come?"

The two fourth-level werewolves suddenly changed color. One of the fourth-level werewolves, Akao, stammered, "No, it's impossible, right? Rank 8...... Overmatch...... We've ...... long ago."

Kuka nodded, "It's impossible for a human rank eighth-level powerhouse to be so boring to kill the High Priest. So......" he paused, "perhaps the time for the high priesthood has arrived?"

Tooth was silent for a moment, "I have a headache when I think about these things, so I'd better wait for the chief to decide." ”

Although Kuka is a fifth-level cultivator, Long Fang is the pinnacle of the fourth-level, and he will soon be promoted to the fifth level with an official name.

Before the fifth level of the brute beast, there was only one name based on physical characteristics, similar to the milk name of a human, such as the tiger man with tusks and the werewolf with red tails. Only brutes above level 5 can obtain official names, such as level 5 werewolf Kuka. Kuka is the official name, and having the official name means entering the upper echelons of the tribe and having a voice in the tribal meeting. Otherwise, you can only sit in and not speak.

Moreover, Fangs is still the son of the chief, and since he said that he would wait for the chief to decide, Kuka can't say anything more.

Then Kuka glanced at Wang Xiaotian, "What about this human?"

Long Tooth looked at Wang Xiaotian with a toothache on his face, "The high priest said that he was the 'son of the beast god' and asked us to snatch him." We fought hard to snatch it, and the high priest died suddenly, do you think this human being is unlucky?"

Kuka spread his paws and said helplessly: "I don't know either." By the way, what about the White Ear Priest? Why didn't he come? His mind is spinning fast, and he has been following the High Priest for many years, so he should know some of the High Priest's thoughts, right? Akao, you go and call him. ”

The werewolf Red Tail immediately got up and called the fox priest Bai Er.

Another leopard man, Blackneck, suddenly said: "Fang, this human being is the 'son of the beast god' is said by the high priest himself. Thou shalt not be disrespectful to him. ”

"Son of the Beast God," Fangs shook his head disdainfully, "Blackneck, do you believe that?" Kuka, what do you think?"

"Long Fangs!" the leopard girl black-necked anxious, "You dare to question the high priest's prophecy......!

"Blackneck, shut up!" Kuka snapped to stop the leopard girl Blackneck, "The young chief naturally has a reason for saying this. ”

The leopard girl was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that you think so too?"

Kuka and Fang glanced at each other, exchanged glances, turned to look at the leopard girl and said with the black neck, "Don't you think it's strange that the high priest said that this human is the son of the beast god?"

The leopard girl was confused, "Strange, strange what?"

As the High Priest's bodyguard, the Leopard Girl Blackneck had long been accustomed to following the High Priest's arrangement, and had never doubted any of the High Priest's orders.

In her heart, the High Priest has lived for thousands of years, witnessed the development of the barbarian orcs from a small settlement of a dozen members to a large tribe with tens of thousands of members, taught the barbarian orcs to use the Force to strengthen their bodies, and gave many barbarian orcs wise guidance.

The leopard girl Blackneck knew that in the hearts of all the brutes, the high priest was simply a god-like existence. The High Priest is not only supreme in the Wolf Tooth Tribe, but also in the Iron Arm and Spirit Ape Tribes.

She believed that what the High Priest said must be right and always will be, that every action of the High Priest has a deep meaning, and even if he does not understand it, he must resolutely carry it out, and that the High Priest has proved countless times over the years how far-sighted he is and how wise his decisions are. Therefore, she had to resolutely defend the authority of the high priest.

Kuka didn't speak. He knew that Blackneck was a fanatic believer in the High Priest, and it was difficult for him to accept remarks that were unfavorable to the High Priest. He is the core and high-level of the tribe, and some words can only be said in private, and if they reach the ears of those who have a heart, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
