Chapter 117: A Strange Balance (Part 2)
Most human beings feel that the human race is the master of the Heavenly Master Realm, the most powerful creature in the world.
However, this is not the case, and anyone with some insight knows that if it weren't for the high intelligence of human beings and their sense of cooperation, they would have been swallowed up by the demon beasts and alien races from all over the world.
In other words, if it weren't for the fact that monsters are naturally aggressive, often kill each other among races, have a strong sense of territory, and cannot advance and retreat in unity, human beings have no room to survive at all.
Not to mention, the size of the Northern Desolate Demon Beast Territory outside Beiyun Prefecture alone exceeds the area of the two human states, and the number of demon beasts in it is even greater than the total number of human beings in the two states.
The reproductive ability of demon beasts is more terrifying than that of humans.
Moreover, most of the demon beasts have a bloodline inheritance, although they are also strong and weak, but they do not need to cross the tribulation, so almost all of them can evolve and have the potential to become stronger.
In the eyes of demon beasts, humans are no different from other demon beast races, only the difference between delicious and unpalatable.
The territory of the demon beasts is vast, mostly mountains and mountains, among which there are many spiritual vein fairy mountains, as well as all kinds of natural and earthly treasures and secret realms, most of which are entrenched and guarded by various demon beasts and regarded as forbidden territories.
It is said that more than 5,000 years ago, when the human race was at its peak, it gathered monks from all over the world and launched a great war to expand outward, intending to include all the demon beast territories into the territory and truly dominate the Heavenly Master Realm.
At first, it was also smooth, but the demon beasts were caught off guard, mainly because the various demon beast groups fought separately and could not effectively organize resistance.
As a result, human beings continued to expand in all directions, and even established many new forces or sect branches on the spiritual vein mountain of the demon beast territory.
However, after that great war lasted for hundreds of years, as humans approached step by step, the resistance of the demon beast territory became more and more fierce, and finally forced out a beast king who was difficult to get out of a thousand years.
The Tiger Demon Beast King is not just a clan, but the king of the demons who ascends to the heights and responds to the beasts.
At this point, the good days of human beings came to an end, and the Beastmaster gathered the remnants of all the demon beast races and began to fight back wildly.
After hundreds of years of tragic wars, the human race has been defeated one after another, not only returning the encroached demon beast territory, but also losing a lot of the original land.
If it weren't for the many major formations that humans have formed over thousands of years to protect the frontier, the human race back then would probably have been wiped out.
Because of this, humans have left countless corpses in the territory of demon beasts, as well as some of the most important inheritances, which are the relics of the war of the year.
Later, the human tortoise cowered under the protection of the Eight Desolations Great Array, and did not take the initiative to attack again, and worked hard for many years before recovering its vitality.
But as long as the beast king does not die for a day, the human race will not dare to cross the line again, because the united army of demon beasts is too terrifying and invincible.
It wasn't until more than 2,000 years ago that humans gradually discovered that the territory of the demon beasts seemed to have returned to its previous state of fighting separately.
The beast king who had made human beings suffer a great loss should have completely disappeared into the Heavenly Master Realm.
However, human beings did not start such a great war again, for fear of forcing out another king.
However, all sides of the human race have found a way to trick themselves, that is, to break the whole into parts, use the Eight Desolations Great Array as a base, and quietly let people enter the territory of the demon beast alien race.
The purpose is no longer to occupy the territory of demon beasts, but to obtain various cultivation resources.
Hunt demon beasts to establish a demon beast garden, excavate heavenly treasures, explore the relics of the Great War thousands of years ago, find the secret realm of heaven and earth, and even quietly dig up the spiritual vein mine.
In short, it is to use the various resources in the demon beast territory to strengthen the human race, and at the same time weaken the other party.
And this 'gentle' way doesn't seem to provoke the concentrated resistance of the demon beasts anymore, and humans and demon beasts coexist tacitly, forming a strange balance.
Anyway, for demon beasts, scattered human monks are also a delicacy, no different from other alien races.
The weak eat the strong, and whoever is strong will survive.
"Therefore, the Heavenly Array outside the Flying Snow Mountain Range was the last barrier that blocked the Northern Demon Beast Army back then. ”
Lu Tong stood on top of a mountain fortress at this time, looking at the Northern Wilderness outside the fortress, and sighed in his heart.
With the mountain as a fortress, there have been countless major formations superimposed over thousands of years, enveloping the heavens and the earth, which is undoubtedly a vast and long-term project.
It's not the first time Lu Tong has been here, but every time he feels shocked.
The Northern Wilderness outside the fortress is magnificent and beautiful, with famous mountains and rivers, dense forests and ice fields, all of which are the magic of nature, and are more fascinating than the human world.
This mountain fortress that stretches for thousands of miles is jointly guarded by the Flying Snow Cave Heaven and the Taoist Master Palace, and it can be said to be impregnable.
The place where Lu Tong and the two disciples behind him were at this time was a fortress checkpoint closest to the north gate of Jiuxuan City, and they only needed to pass the verification and registration of the fortress patrol to walk out of the pass of the big array and enter another world.
"Master, it's all done. Tang Feng reminded loudly.
He was also a little excited, but he kept in mind that his mission on this trip was to protect his master.
Tang Feng and Shangguan Xiuer didn't know that Lu Tong had already broken through to the Golden Light Realm.
And only the Golden Light Realm can have a strong ability to survive in the demon beast territory.
The Demon Beast Realm is similar to the human world, and the demon beasts above the Golden Light Realm will mostly open up their own territories on those spiritual vein mountains.
Therefore, the demon beast clan under the mountain is generally the strongest in the Golden Light Realm.
As long as they don't take the initiative to go up the mountain to provoke, those big demons on the mountain rarely take the initiative to go down the mountain, and they also have to protect their territory on the mountain.
Therefore, the monks of the Golden Light Realm could barely walk under the mountain in the Demon Beast Territory.
Like Chao Dongyang, it is really rare for someone in the Iron Bone Realm to dare to break into the territory of demon beasts alone, after all, this is not a demon beast park raised by humans.
As for the monks above the Golden Light Realm, if they dared to bully those little demons under the mountain in the territory of the demon beasts, there would naturally be big demons on the mountain who would be moved.
Because, that's what they can't get enough of.
"Let's go. Lu Tong didn't think much about it, and took the two of them straight to the nearest pass.
After some supervision and interrogation, the three of them successfully walked out of the big formation and finally came to the world outside the fortress.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Tong only felt relaxed.
The air in the Northern Wilderness is cold and fresh, and it seems to be filled with an intoxicating smell.
This is a place full of treasures for monks, and at the same time a place full of life and death crises.
Fortunately, most of the demon beasts are out of the day and night, and Lu Tong has the map he found from the Taoist Palace, so his eyes are not black.
On the map, there are not only the marks mentioned by Li Wei, but also the various dangerous places marked by the continuous exploration of the predecessors.
Where is the territory of what kind of demon beast, and where it is safer to rest, it is very clear.
Although the territory of demon beasts often changes, in general, it can still be referred to.
Lu Tong had already memorized the map in his mind, and without too much hesitation, he pointed in a direction and said calmly: "Go over there first." ”
