Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Odds
As Chunting's voice fell, everyone was roughly clear about the danger they were facing now.
Although it is not clear to us at this point why Tubo did not choose Guiguzi to inherit this Ten Thousand Souls Seal and become the new lord of the hidden capital, there is no doubt that Zulong Yingzheng, who is known as the first emperor of the ages, is definitely worthy of the identity of the lord of this hidden capital.
As both the emperor of Shenzhou and the lord of the hidden capital, Zulong Yingzheng is worthy of the first emperor of the ages, and it has really reached the level that we dare not look up.
However, the problem in front of us now is not the ancestral dragon Yingzheng, but the desolate beast whose specific identity is unknown until now.
"Although this strange beast was transferred to the hands of the ancestral dragon by Tubo, but out of consideration for the overall situation, the ancestral dragon did not bring it to Shenzhou to assist him in ruling the world because of its amazing cultivation, but left this strange beast in the land of the hidden capital and ordered it to protect the peace of the land of the hidden capital."
Seeing the admiration on everyone's faces, Chunting smiled, and then he changed his words and told us about the strange beast.
"As I said before, after the ancestral dragon unified the world, he decided to follow Emperor Yu and collect the world's soldiers into utensils to suppress Shenzhou, and before that, he came to this secluded capital again with the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, this time, Zulong gave the alien beast a never-ending order."
"This order given by the ancestral dragon is to order this strange beast to never leave the land of the hidden capital, and to order it to protect the peace of the hidden capital here for generations, and also to protect the seal of ten thousand souls that represents the identity of the lord of the hidden capital."
"There is no doubt that the ancestral dragon is naturally inferior to the previous master Houtu in the mind of this strange beast, but after all, the ancestral dragon has become the lord of the hidden capital, as long as his order does not endanger the hidden capital, then this strange beast will never refuse."
Seeing that we gradually understood the truth, Chunting no longer paused, and told us the rest of the things in one breath.
"After getting the definite response of this strange beast, Zu Long personally planned, where he suppressed the creatures of the hidden capital in Houtu, ordered his subordinates to build a city that was not huge in scale, and named it Black Rock City, and that strange beast entered this city after the construction of Black Rock City, and for thousands of years, no one in the world has ever seen its trace."
"Due to the influence of the death of the Houtu body, the ancestral dragon was worried that no one would be able to surrender this strange beast after he was gone, so after obtaining the consent of the alien beast, he also suppressed it in the city of black stone, of course, this alien beast also knew what the ancestral dragon was worried about, so it did not resist, but let the ancestral dragon do whatever he wanted."
"At the same time, Zulong knew that sooner or later a new Lord of the Hidden Capital would appear, so he left the Ten Thousand Soul Seal representing this identity and placed it on the body of this strange beast, as long as the person who came did not obtain the approval of this strange beast, then it would be impossible to take the Ten Thousand Soul Seal to inherit the position of the Lord of the Hidden Capital."
"Although this alien beast has become irritable due to the death of the Houtu body, there is no doubt that the lifespan of the desolate alien species itself is an innate advantage, and he will definitely not do anything at will when it comes to the Houtu and the hidden capital, and invisibly, it has become the best guardian until now."
At this point, everyone no longer had any doubts.
In the Black Rock City today, there is the desolate alien species that was rescued by Houtu sleeping, and the seal of ten thousand souls that everyone longed for is now lying quietly on the body of the strange beast.
As long as we can subdue the beast, then we can get the seal of ten thousand souls that it carries with us, symbolizing the identity of the lord of the city, and as long as we get this seal, the person who holds this seal can become the new lord of the city! new world
As long as you can become the lord of the hidden capital, not only will your cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, but also you will be able to learn many secrets of the mythological era from the Ten Thousand Soul Seals, and when you are facing the enemy, you can return to the land of the hidden capital anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, since that strange beast was born in the mythological period, it must have a very high wisdom, it has passed through the three masters of Houtu, Tubo, and Zulong, if we pass its test, then in its mouth, we will definitely be able to get some unexpected gains.
Whether it is the cultivation of Houtu, or the secret of Tubo, or the actions of the ancestral dragon, these are all in the eyes of that strange beast, as long as we can subdue it, maybe all the problems will become clear at that time.
But there is no doubt that we must not only see the side of opportunity, but also the danger that lies ahead of us today.
Since the order left by the ancestral dragon is to let this strange beast guard the hidden capital and protect the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, then we are undoubtedly an intruder for this strange beast now, and for the intruder, this strange beast will naturally not be the slightest soft.
And there is no doubt that the desolate alien species born in the mythical period are not general, even the most mysterious Chunting among the people, do not dare to say that they can face the strange beast directly, even if we are many now, but if we really make a move, I am afraid that it may not be its opponent.
If we are defeated, we may be left in this Black Rock City forever, even if we are lucky enough not to lose our lives, but if we are also endlessly suppressed here, how is that result different from death?
But there's no doubt that no matter what the end result is, there's no reason not to give it a try.
Because, such temptations are too great for us.
As long as we can get lucky, it will be tantamount to unlocking a huge treasure, and we will be able to improve rapidly in either aspect, so that we can better face the next challenges.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are not without a chance of winning."
Just when everyone was thinking about how to make a choice, and the expressions on everyone's faces were both excited and worried, Juekong suddenly spoke, and his tone was still so calm, which made people pause and be impetuous.
"If you're up to it, look here."
As he spoke, Juekong turned his body slightly, only to see him raise his arm, and then slowly pointed to the side.
Hearing what Juekong said, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked along Juekong's arm, and found that at the end of the line of sight, there was a corner that we hadn't noticed before.
Although after Shen Lang lit the Red Heart Candle, everyone had recovered their five senses, but because it was still too dark in this Black Rock City, everyone couldn't see the specific situation in that corner.
Looking at the calm face of Juekong, I couldn't help but think to myself, maybe that is the odds of our trip.
