Chapter Twenty-Three: The Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts
"I didn't expect you to have heard of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, but the famous Ten Thousand Beasts Palace no longer exists, and now there is only one Blood Beast Palace left. The old man said with tears in his eyes, and looked very sad.
Wu Daoren shook his head and said: "It is rumored that the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace was a rare gate sect in Zuzhou, and it was famous because it was good at raising spirit beasts, but then it closed the mountain gate for unknown reasons, and then it was quiet. β
"That was hundreds of years ago, at that time, an elder of my Wanshou Palace accidentally got a blood poison from the hands of the demons, which can raise blood beasts that are not afraid of the environment of the demon world, you also know that we are different from the demons, the people of the demon clan can enter our realm, but most of us humans can't enter the demon realm, only a few masters can become, so the fight against the demon world has always been based on defense, and it is rare to attack the demon world, especially our Wanshou Palace, because it is difficult for spirit beasts to resist the demon environment, so there is no place for them after entering the demon worldγ
Those seniors of our Ten Thousand Beast Palace all wanted to raise a spirit beast that could fight in the Demon Realm, and the elder who got the blood poison was named Gongsun Qiu, he was more ambitious than others, and even felt that if he wanted to destroy the Demon Realm, he could only rely on the spirit beasts of our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, and he wanted to raise a spirit beast that specialized in restraining the Demon Clan. β
Long Tian saw a lot of stories about human beings fighting against the Demon Realm, and now that he heard that those people tried their best to fight against the Demon Realm, he would still be in awe, so he listened to it even more like God.
I only listened to the old man continue to explain: "The kind of blood poison that Gongsun Qiu got is said to make the demon clan talk about it, and the demon clan will go crazy and die without exception when infected by the blood poison, so Gongsun Qiu and the others just want to use this characteristic of blood poison to cultivate spirit beasts and eventually destroy the demon race."
At that time, the palace master and other elders were also very supportive of Gongsun Qiu, so Gongsun Qiu and the others quickly cultivated some fierce beasts containing blood poison, and after the test, those fierce beasts containing blood poison were indeed able to restrain the demon clan, so with the encouragement of Gongsun Qiu, basically all the spirit beasts in the entire Ten Thousand Beast Palace contained blood poison.
At first, those including the elders thought that the blood poison had no side effects on humans and spirit beasts, but it was beneficial and could enhance the physical fitness of spirit beasts, but what they didn't expect was that it was only a few years later that they found that the spirit beasts they raised showed signs of madness, and they could have been controlled, but then they were completely out of control, causing a very terrible beast tide.
Basically, all the spirit beasts raised are crazy, and the humans who are bitten by these crazy spirit beasts will also go crazy, so at the critical moment, the palace master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace ordered the closure of the guardian circle to avoid the escape of the crazy blood beasts from bringing disaster to the people outside, and all the elders tried to stop this beast tide and wanted to save these spirit beasts, but in the end, no one succeeded, and even Gongsun Qiu, who knew the most about blood beasts, died because of being bitten by blood beasts.
At that time, there were nearly 100,000 people in the Blood Beast Palace, and there were tens of thousands of disciples in the door, but I didn't expect that in the end, because of the blood beast's backlash, the disciples in the door were killed and injured, and all the blood beasts attacked all the people like crazy, and even they themselves were fighting with each other, because there were too many of them, and it was too late to ask for help at that time, and all the disciples in the inner door entered the forbidden place to hide, and relied on the magic circle of the forbidden place to let many disciples in the door save their lives. β
Long Tian and Wu Daoren glanced at each other, and they could see the look of shock in each other's eyes, and they couldn't imagine that the famous Ten Thousand Beasts Palace would die because of such a catastrophe.
The old man rubbed his eyes and said in a trance: "But those blood beasts have been attacking the forbidden land, in order to let the magic circle of the forbidden land run to block the fierce beasts, the palace master and many elders and seniors paid with their lives, and in the end, only a few hundred people escaped. These hundreds of people have been living in this forbidden place, and because there are countless fierce beasts outside, they never dare to go out.
Fortunately, there were men and women among these hundreds of people, and after these people formed families and stayed, my grandparents were among the people who survived.
These survivors did not want to escape all the time, so they thought of various ways and paid a lot of lives, but in the end they did not succeed, and due to several adventures, I am now left alive. β
The old man seemed to be caught in a memory, and was silent for a long time before patting his legs and saying, "Because I was bitten by a blood beast, I had to cut off my feet, so I saved my life." You pointed to the giant mastiff beside him and said, "Thanks to Osan for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to live alone." β
"Is this giant mountain spirit dog also a spirit beast raised by the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace back then, why didn't he turn into a blood beast?" Wu Daoren asked, looking at the tall giant mastiff.
The old man said while ** the head of the giant mastiff: "At the beginning of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, there were thousands of kinds of spirit beasts, the most inconspicuous low-level spirit beasts at that time, no one expected them to fight with the demons, so they were not cultivated into blood beasts, the giant mountain mastiff at that time was very tame and intelligent, and could help humans take care of other spirit beasts, so it has been used as an auxiliary spirit beast, and raised a lot, when the blood beast beast tide broke out, some giant mountain mastiffs also fled into the forbidden land and escaped a catastrophe. β
"As for the other blood beasts, there are only 10,000 blood beasts we saw by that waterhole, and there should not be as many as 100,000. Long Tian thought about those blood beasts and asked with a frown.
The old man shook his head and said: "Many of the first-generation blood beasts went crazy and died, and some gave birth to offspring, but these second-generation blood beasts are not like the previous generation of blood beasts that will go crazy directly, they should be a lot more sensible and sober, these hundreds of years have been passed down, these blood beasts have been changed for several generations, due to the protection of the magic circle, below the limit, these blood beasts are also controlled within a certain number, and finally controlled at a scale of more than 10,000 or so, but they will still kill each other, and each other is each other's food." Wandering outside all day.
That is, recently I went out with Osan to hunt the yellow sheep who escaped from the forbidden land, only to find that those blood beasts were not there, and then I found that they were all near the waterhole, waiting for the birth of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and when I went to check today, Osan smelled your scent, and I knew that someone had come in, so I led you here. β
"Senior, is there really no way to get out of here?" Wu Daoren asked with some concern, I had the guidance of the Unicorn Immortal before I passed through the phantom array and entered the real Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, but Wu Daoren completely relied on the map in his hand to stumble in.
The old man shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, the magic circle of this Wanshou Palace has three layers, the first layer of the magic circle is the outermost magic circle, there are four portals, these four portals were used by disciples in the door in the past, and they were all guarded in the past." Later, because of the outbreak of the beast tide, the palace master of the generation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace activated the second magic circle, this inverted magic circle is mainly to prevent the blood beasts from going out, so it can only enter but not exit, so it is easy for you to come in but it is a little difficult to get out. The third circle is where we are, the circle of this forbidden land, used to protect the survivors. For hundreds of years, these survivors have tried to get out, but they have all failed. β
"So we're trapped here too?" Wu Daoren jumped up suddenly, causing the giant mountain mastiff to stand up and roar at him in a low voice.
The old man shook his head with a wry smile, and after comforting the giant mountain mastiff, he said: "In the past few hundred years, many people have entered here, without exception, and they have not been able to get out. β
Hearing him say this so categorically, Wu Daoren's face was so frightened. The fat parrot was also so frightened that it flapped its wings.
Long Tian was also a little worried in his heart, so he summoned the Unicorn Immortal in his mind and asked, "Senior, are we really unable to get out?"
After a long time, the voice of the unicorn fairy came: "This ancient array is very special, the outside is a phantom array, and the inside is a forbidden array, I didn't see it, but all magic circles will have a way to break it, don't worry, this magic circle has been running for so long, there will definitely be many loopholes, I will find a way to get out." β
Hearing the unicorn fairy say this, Long Tian breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, as long as the unicorn fairy said that there was a way to get out, it should not be a big problem, Long Tian didn't know how, he had always been full of confidence in the unicorn fairy.
"According to my observation, those blood beasts are competing for the Heavenly Spirit Bead, this blood beast is different from ordinary fierce beasts, the fierce beast will have spiritual intelligence, and they will escape when they know that they can't do anything, but the blood beast is different, they will definitely fight for the Heavenly Spirit Bead to the end, and all the fierce beasts will eventually be devoured. In the process of devouring each other, the blood beasts will increase some abilities, and the more of the same kind they devour, the faster their cultivation will grow, and the final winner will probably be the one who devours the most of their kind. The old man drank tea and said worriedly.
"You're saying that these blood beasts will eventually be devoured by their own kind, isn't that a good thing, the more they kill each other, the better, and save us trouble. Wu Daoren drank the tea and said.
The old man shook his head and said with a long sigh: "If that's the case, it would be good, the more those blood beasts devour each other, the more powerful they become, since the first generation of blood beasts all died of madness, there has never been a blood beast at the Yuan King level, the strongest blood beast is also the Yuan Zun level, and then it won't be long before it will go crazy, but now it's different, even if these blood beasts devour a lot of their kind, it's hard to go crazy, if they get the Heavenly Spirit Bead, maybe there will be a Yuan King-level blood beast."
The energy consumption of the magic circle in our forbidden land is almost exhausted, and it can no longer withstand the attacks of the fierce beasts of the Yuan King level several times. I have run out of oil, not only will I pass away, you may be buried in the belly of the beast, what is even more terrifying is that if the blood beast of the beast king level escapes, he can spread the blood poison by himself, create and even control the blood beast, and then it will be a catastrophe, and the efforts of several generations of our Ten Thousand Beast Palace will run out of oil and the lamp will be exhausted. β
"Then we have to find a way not to let those fierce beasts get the Heavenly Spirit Bead, the Heavenly Spirit Bead is even more powerful than the Earth Spirit Bead, with the Heavenly Spirit Bead, maybe it will directly jump a step to grow. Long Tian nodded and said.
Wu Daoren's eyes lit up when he heard that he was going to snatch the Heavenly Spirit Bead: "It's not impossible to grab the Heavenly Spirit Bead, stealing things, that's what I'm best at stealing the Heavenly Spirit Bead." As he spoke, he collapsed again: "It's easy to grab the Heavenly Spirit Bead, but it's difficult to get out of here." β
"I have a way to get out, as long as you give me the Heavenly Spirit Bead, I have a way to take you out. Long Tian took a sip of tea and said to Wu Daoren with a smile.
