Chapter 2: The King of the Mountain
Deep in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, in an inaccessible basin valley area, a trace of cooking smoke was wafting from a small village under a clear sky.
The village is built on a hill, with a patchwork of houses, a fence made of thick wooden poles on the outskirts, and a dense forest on all sides, making it difficult for outsiders to find the village unless they are close to it.
In an open space in the village, a square team of about 50 people was training their physical skills with punches and kicks, and a few children on the side were also babbling.
At this time, a young man who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with fresh short hair and a dark golden dragon pattern robe, was quietly watching the training of this team not far away, and from time to time he would follow a few strokes.
This young man is thin, with sword eyes and eyebrows, but the sadness in his eyes makes people anxious.
After watching for a while, the boy retracted his mind and set his eyes on the mountain wall of the valley, where he could see a wooden tower standing high above it.
Taking a step, the young man walked towards the mountain wall without hurrying.
"Your Highness. ”
"I've seen His Royal Highness. ”
"Wang Lin has seen His Highness. ”
.......
Along the way, the boy alarmed many villagers in the small village, and the boy also responded politely and politely.
"You damn worm, if I see you again, I'll catch you and feed the pheasants!"
Suddenly, the young man's angry scolding from not far away caught his eye. Walking forward slowly, he saw a young man in white who was about his age pinching something and throwing it out of the house.
The boy shook his head slightly, he had seen this scene almost every day since March.
The young man in white was named Wu Qing, dressed in white, and he was after Wu Qi, the fierce general of the Blue Star Empire.
On the first day of moving here, Wu Qing was still cleaning his room at that time, and then a gadget commonly known as the four-horned snake walked in with his eyes down.
Wu Qing looked at this gadget, and wanted to stomp on it and throw it out, but then he didn't know if he remembered something, but he grabbed the four-legged snake and threw it out of the yard.
I never thought that the four-legged snake that was smashed was more and more courageous, and it made Wu Qing angry again and again, and Wu Qing couldn't remember how many times he dropped that gadget in just three months.
The young man looked at the four-legged snake that was thrown out by Wu Qing again, and he was also helpless in his heart, this person and a snake were really on the bar, but every time he saw the two small bags on the head of the four-legged snake bulging slightly, the young man didn't know whether to tell Wu Qing about it.
"Eh, Brother Han, go to Nale?" Wu Qing looked at Zhang Han who came over and said hello with a smile.
"Uncle Kui in the back mountain," the young man said in a deep voice: "After you are a general, you must be calm and calm in case of trouble, little reptile, there is no need to be so public." ”
Wu Qing stuck out his tongue and said, "What a great general! My father can't see anyone alive or dead, if it weren't for that, my Blue Star wouldn't have been attacked so quickly." ”
Zhang Han was speechless, the father and son were notoriously unpleasant to each other. However, Wu Qing's words did say to Zhang Han's heart, if his father was not also in the empire, how could those exotic iron horsemen so easily break through their Blue Star Continent, which is the best in the universe in martial arts.
"I Zhang Han will never forget the enmity of the Blue Star," the young man thought of this and said with a strong evil aura on his face: "My Blue Star army still doesn't know where I am, and the heavy responsibility of revenge may fall on you and me. ”
Wu Qing arched his hand and said, "Brother Han, don't worry, if you don't say it a few times, I won't let go of this hatred." ”
"Okay," Zhang Han pursed his lips and nodded, looking in the direction of the back mountain again.
"The aura of this world is not as strong as my Blue Star, if you have any difficulties in cultivation, you can go to Uncle Kui, he and the general are also friends for many years, and they still know a little bit about the murderous spirit of the Wu family, maybe it can help you." ”
Wu Qing nodded and said, "Knowing Brother Han, you can rest assured." ”
Bidding farewell to Wu Qing, the young man hit the road again, stepping on some muddy paths in the village, Zhang Han still missed his Blue Star Imperial Capital's paved Qinglin stone and jade floor tiles.
All the way to the back village, there is a beast pen here, which contains some demon beasts that the villagers have captured and brought back in captivity recently.
Looking sideways at the dozens of tigers, wolves, leopards and other beasts in the animal pen, the small animal pen that seemed to be very crowded was quiet and terrifying.
As the boy looked, he saw the dozens of beasts bowing their heads slightly in the direction he was, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
"Your Highness! This pheasant has been calling all the time recently, and it is very noisy, and Uncle Kui said that he really couldn't do it, so he wiped his neck and got out of the pot. A beautiful woman suddenly walked to the edge of the animal pen and said to Zhang Han.
In the hands of the beautiful woman, she was carrying a colorful feather pheasant, and the young man looked sideways and happened to see the bare tail of the pheasant.
"Aunt Xuan, is its tail feather?" the boy asked.
"A few days ago, the little boys in the village caught this pheasant and took it to the fire to roast the meat, saying that if it didn't breathe fire, it would pluck out a hair, and that's it. Aunt Xuan explained.
The young man was slightly stunned, he remembered that when he saw this pheasant, he was handsome, and it took a lot of effort to catch the pheasant on a plane tree with the villagers.
"Uncle Kui, they have caught a lot of prey recently, but the food is sufficient, so let's keep it!" If it calls again, Aunt Xuan will wrap its mouth with this hemp rope. Zhang Han said, took out a thin hemp rope from the dark gold striped robe on his body and handed it over.
The beautiful woman took the hemp rope, looked at the pheasant with a little unkind eyes, and thought that it really couldn't be done, so she tied the hemp rope directly to the pheasant's neck.
Looking at Aunt Xuan with a thoughtful face, the young man shook his head again.
The people in this village lived a rich and noble life before, but at this time they were reduced to mountain farmers, and this experience is still a lot worse.
Continuing on, the boy came straight to the hill wall behind the enclosure, and there was a path on the hill that zigzagged to the top of the valley.
He set his eyes on the mountain wall more than 100 meters high in front of him, and in ten minutes, a sweaty teenager appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Your Highness, why did you come up?" Uncle Kui asked with some surprise as he looked at Zhang Han, who was gasping for breath.
Looking at Uncle Kui standing on the watchtower, the young man didn't answer, he took three steps and made two steps, and after going up the tower, the young man slammed his fist into Uncle Kui's chest.
"Bah!", Uncle Kui was shocked backwards by Zhang Han's swift punch without defense.
Rubbing his chest a little stunned, Uncle Kui looked at Zhang Han with a surprised expression and said, "Your Highness, are you at the peak of your body refining?"
"Hehe" The young man grinned, his right hand spread out, and inside was a mellow demon beast Neidan.
"Uncle Kui, I discovered a secret last night. ”
Seeing the young man's words, the demon pill in his hand quickly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared in an instant.
"Shhh
"Your Highness, can you attract the power of this demon beast?" Uncle Kui asked with a shocked expression.
"It's not me who absorbs, it's what it absorbs. The boy said, pointing to a dot mark on his eyebrows.
"I also stumbled upon it last night, and the Blue Star Fragment sealed in my eyebrows was able to absorb this Demon Beast Golden Pill, and after the absorption and purification of the Blue Star Fragment, I also gained a lot of benefits. ”
Uncle Kui listened to the young man's explanation, frowned slightly, and said, "So, is the reason why you haven't been able to open the Blue Star Fragment because of his lack of spiritual power?"
"It should be, I also found that the spiritual power sucked in by this blue star fragment has not disappeared, if it continues to accumulate like this, it won't be long before I can bring Uncle Kui and you into it. ”
"That's very good!" Uncle Kui said with some solemnity: "The Blue Star Fragment can be opened again, and we can be regarded as having an extra guarantee in this unknown world." ”。
The young man nodded, turned to look at the jungle below him with a calm face, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains were rolling and undulating, and the ancient trees covered the sky and the sun, and their margins were unknown.
There was a silence for a while, "Uncle Kui, how has the recent exploration of this mountain range been going?" the young man asked sideways.
"It's nothing unusual," Uncle Kui replied, "Although there are many demon beasts in this mountain range, it seems that there is always a natural fear of my Blue Star people, and not long ago, there was a mountain tiger in the foundation building period who saluted me from afar, and I don't know what they are afraid of?"
"Uncle Kui, do you say that this is because I and other ancestral powers have already evolved the power of our bloodline to a higher level, so that these demon beasts have a natural fear?" the young man asked with some confusion.
"It should be" Uncle Kui nodded and said: "I think that my Blue Star is powerful, the universe's martial arts are the first in the world, and there have long been strong people who have tampered with the bloodline inheritance through anti-heaven cultivation, and it is not an exaggeration to come to this low-level immortal cultivation continent to have this effect." ”
"Hey, it's really the ancestors who planted trees and the younger generations who enjoyed the shade. Zhang Han smiled slightly and said: "It's also a loss, otherwise if you want to rely on my cultivation that is not much stronger than mortals now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive here, and now I have become the king of this mountain." ”
"King of the Mountain?" Uncle Kui muttered to himself, "That's really true..... It's kind of ironic!"
These people, who are not the powerful people on the Blue Star Continent in the past, not to mention the countless soldiers under them, but at least they can be regarded as a group of slaves, and now they have crossed into this unknown continent, but they have become a small mountain king.
Uncle Kui also felt a little depressed in his heart.
Shaking his head, Uncle Kui calmed down and said, "A few days ago, I found that there was a small amount of iron ore sand flowing out of a small stream five kilometers southwest of our village, and it is estimated that there is an iron ore vein. ”
"Iron ore?" Zhang Han said, "It's been a long time since I've heard of such a low-grade ore vein. ”
Listening to Zhang Han's words, Uncle Kui turned around and patted Zhang Han on the shoulder and said, "If there is iron ore, it will be used!" ”
"Well, I know, it's just a little nostalgic for Blue Star. ”
"I understand," Uncle Kui took a step back and looked into the distance, "I have already arranged for someone to investigate this morning, and there should be definite news later." ”
"There's Uncle Lauqua. Zhang Han arched his hand.
"Yes, when you pass through the Gate of Creation, everyone's cultivation has been beaten back to a mortal state, and you must also find ways to increase your ability to protect yourself before returning to the peak."
Hearing this, Zhang Han's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "I plan to wait a little longer and go out of the mountain." ”
Listening to Zhang Han's answer, Uncle Kui's eyes froze, and a trace of struggle flashed on his face: "Everything is careful."
Zhang Han nodded, stepped forward slowly, and came to the edge of the watchtower, his eyes cast into the distance, and his face was solemn.
Uncle Kui knew that Zhang Han would leave sooner or later, and in order to avenge the destruction of the Blue Star Continent, he had to understand the current world, stand on his feet as soon as possible, and find the traces of the First Emperor of the Blue Star.
In the words of the old people in the village, they are a hard-working family in this vein, and even if they are blessed to settle down, they will inevitably have to work around.
......
At dusk, it was drizzling in the mountains, and Zhang Han had already returned to his room.
Sitting on the wooden bed, he saw that Zhang Han's mana around him was running slightly, and he started today's cultivation again.
When he was in the Blue Star Continent, he was devoted to literature, and he was not interested in martial arts since he was a child, but now after experiencing the grief of the broken homeland, he cultivated so hard.
And what he cultivated was the Ten Thousand Worlds Emperor Sutra created by the First Emperor of the Zhang Family.
This exercise is divided into six levels, from the first stage of the snake realm to the highest divine dragon realm, each stage corresponds to the process of transforming into a dragon.
What shocked Zhang Han the most was that this Ten Thousand Worlds Emperor Sutra can transform spiritual power into dragon qi when cultivating, according to ancestral records, this exercise is cultivated to a high place, and one punch can even turn the fist into a real dragon, suppressing all the immortal magic powers in the world, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Ten Thousand Worlds Emperor Sutra.
Now Zhang Han is in the initial stage of the Ten Thousand Realms Emperor Sutra, the Snake Realm. And to cultivate this Ten Thousand Worlds Emperor Sutra, you need to imitate the dragon with your human body, and you need extremely profound skill training to reach the state of flesh and blood resonance.
Recalling in his mind the pitiful cultivation experience over the years, Zhang Han struggled to recall some of the details that the First Emperor had explained when he was teaching this method.
"Whew!whew!" A subtle exhalation sound sounded in the field, and a trace of heaven and earth aura was continuously absorbed by Zhang Han along with the breath of this breath.
This is not the first time he has cultivated, as a demon on the Blue Star Continent in the past, Zhang Han's talent is undoubtedly terrifying, even if it is difficult to find out the mystery in a short period of time in his hands with such an extremely detail-oriented technique as the Ten Thousand Realms Emperor Sutra.
