Chapter Twenty-Seven: Strange Beasts
As Chunting's voice fell, the joy that appeared on everyone's faces suddenly became much more restrained.
There is no doubt that Chunting is telling us that this Ten Thousand Souls Seal will not be so easily captured by us.
The people just now were immersed in the harvest they could get from becoming the lord of the Netherland after obtaining the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, but they all ignored the strange beast that arrived in the Netherland at the same time as the Ten Thousand Soul Seal.
There is no doubt that Houtu returned to the hidden capital with the strange beast and the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, and handed over both to Tubo, since the Ten Thousand Soul Seal is still in this black stone city, then the strange beast at that time may also be in this city.
And this strange beast that doesn't know the root may be the biggest crisis we will encounter on this trip.
When Houtu was seriously injured, it was no ordinary bird or beast that still insisted on bringing back to the hidden capital, and there was no doubt that the strange beast must have appeared in the mythological period.
As early as in the Vientiane Shrine, we have seen the legendary ancient water monster Wuzhiqi, and the existence of Wuzhiqi proves to us that the so-called flood desolation alien species has long been not afraid of the invasion of time, and there is a great possibility that it is still alive in the world without accidents.
And since that Ten Thousand Souls Seal involves the position of the Lord of the Hidden Capital, whether it is Houtu or the later Tubo Zulong and others, they will definitely not allow this thing to be easily obtained, in this case, the desolate alien species that can not be afraid of the invasion of time is the best choice to protect the Ten Thousand Souls Seal.
Although we had not seen the beast yet, we had all heard the voice clearly, and it was like an unconscious murmur and an angry and unwilling roar, which could not be described by words or words.
The appearance of this voice means that there is not only our group of people in the Black Rock City today, and this strange sound is definitely not something that humans can make, so after comprehensive consideration, it is very likely that there is the existence of that strange beast in this Black Stone City now, and the sound we heard before may be made by it.
That means that if we want to succeed in obtaining the Ten Thousand Soul Seal and smoothly inherit the position of the Lord of the Netherland, then there is no doubt that we will definitely have to face the desolate beast that does not know the roots.
Although the name is a strange beast, but those desolate aliens born in the mythological period can no longer be described by a simple beast word, they are not only supernatural, amazingly cultivated, but also have extremely high wisdom, from the original Wuzhiqi, we can know a little bit about it.
Thinking back to what happened when we were in the Vientiane Shrine, if it weren't for Wuzhiqi who recognized Wushuang as the doppelganger he sent out of the Vientiane Shrine, and thus regained consciousness, then we would definitely have to go through a hard battle, and we would never have left the Vientiane Shrine so easily.
And obviously, the alien beast that can be favored by the Houtu must be at the top of the desolate alien species in that era, as the so-called time flies, after thousands of years have passed, the alien beast should have grown to a degree that we can't imagine.
Today, although almost everyone can be called one of the few proud sons of heaven in this era, it is obviously not enough to see such an ancient giant who was born in the flood period.
If this beast is determined to be our enemy and thwart our plans, we will be in a very awkward position.
If we want to obtain the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, then we can only choose to move forward, and moving forward means that we are very likely to face the attack of that strange beast.
But if we choose to retreat, then our exploration is doomed to fail, don't say that we can't get the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, and we won't even have a chance to see the bones of the Houtu that Yi He needs.
It was precisely because they had figured out the meaning of Chunting's words that the joy on everyone's faces suddenly converged, and a trace of solemnity appeared on everyone's faces.
Forward or backward?
"The reason why Houtu insisted on returning to the secluded capital when he was seriously injured was precisely to make the final arrangements for the secluded capital when he still had the strength to spare."
Seeing our expressions, Chunting knew that we had figured out the crisis, so he no longer continued to cover up, but confirmed his previous speculation to us.
"The Ten Thousand Soul Seal is not only a magic weapon to suppress the creatures of the Hidden Capital, but also a token to inherit the identity of the Lord of the Hidden Capital, and that strange beast was actually unintentionally saved by Houtu when he traveled to Shenzhou."
"Houtu is a beetle snake family, tracing back to his own origin is a desolate alien species, so after saving this beast, he casually taught it some of his own magical powers, and this beast is also worthy of being a desolate alien species, cultivating for an amazing talent, drawing inferences from one another, touching the bypass, and it didn't take long for its cultivation to be almost no longer under the Houtu."
"Although the cultivation is already on par with Houtu, this strange beast does not have the vices of beasts, and is even far more aware of Entu than many humans, and has been chasing after Houtu since it recovered from its injuries, and has never had any thoughts of leaving."
Chunting paced back and forth in front of us, his tone indifferent, introducing us to the true origin of this beast.
"Hou Tu is what kind of people, naturally distinguish the difference between true heart and false feelings, and because both are different species of the wilderness, so they are close to each other, and the relationship between the two is like father and son, and like master and servant, for this beast, Hou Tu has nothing to hide."
"The land of the secluded capital is connected to Shenzhou and the Netherworld, and there are thousands of creatures in the Netherworld that he suppressed, if something happens, it will involve the two worlds, and the consequences are unimaginable, so when I feel that I am about to die, the only thing that the Houtu can't rest assured about is the safety of the Netherland."
"Although I don't want to be separated from Houtu in my heart, this strange beast has already understood Houtu's good intentions, and under Houtu's repeated persuasion, it finally agreed to Houtu's request, and it made a promise to Houtu, as long as he doesn't die one day, he will ensure that this thousand miles of secluded capital is safe and sound."
"Because of this, at the last moment of his life, Houtu chose to return to the land of the hidden capital with the beast and the seal of ten thousand souls, and handed over both to Tubo, this act is not only to hope that this beast can protect the peace of the land of the hidden capital, but also to hope that Tubo can find a new master for it."
Speaking of this, Chunting's speech became faster, and he passed by what happened next.
"You all already know what happened later, Guigu and Zulong came to the land of Youdu successively, and for some reason, Tubo finally did not choose Guigu, but chose Zulong, he transferred the strange beast and the Ten Thousand Soul Seal to Zulong, and made him the new lord of Youdu."
