"I'm interested in the High Priest's methods of controlling the beasts. Chang Xuanxing said coldly.

"Then let's go and see, I don't know what other means he has, to captivate so many people as blood food for foreign beasts in his hands, it's really barbaric. A cold light flashed in Lian Jin's eyes.

In the memory of the blood moon, every other month or so, the lyre worm would go to the place where the clan lived to devour a certain number of clansmen to cultivate, and this high priest would act as a savior image to fight the lyreworm for 300 rounds when the lyre worm devoured enough, the lyre worm was defeated, but the high priest could not kill the lyre, so that the people in this valley regarded the high priest as a guardian spirit.

It's a pity that the high priest didn't know that the blood moon could absorb the memory fragments in the living soul, otherwise he would have fled at this time, how dare he invite Lian Jin and a few people to participate in the sacrifice.

But then again, since the high priest knew that his beast was killed by his own people, and now he continued to invite, does this mean that the high priest is ready to deal with himself?

The bonfire at the foot of the mountain was still as bright as the stars, but above the valley, it seemed that a cold wind had blown through......

Back mountain, worship the sky.

"The three immortal masters may not know why our tribe lives here, this is located on the edge of the sandstone desert of the three major deserts of the wilderness, and there is only this place in the land of thousands of miles that can raise a person, the reason is that there will be miracles in our back mountains. ”

Xiong Tao, who led the way, mysteriously told Lian Jin and the three of them why they went to the back mountain to worship the sky, especially when he said the word miracle, the kind of respect shown in Xiong Hao's eyes was definitely not pretended.

"What kind of miracle is it?" Blood Moon spoke, but this opening made Xiong Hao blush.

"Well, even on the new day, the sun, and the obscure day of the month, a mysterious pattern will appear in the back mountain, and the starlight and moonlight will converge under the pattern, and at that time, there will be a lot of beasts and strange beasts to absorb power under that pattern, and we will kill some beasts to serve as food when the pattern disappears. ”

Xiong Hao lowered his head and explained honestly to Blood Moon.

Lian Jin knew that Xiong Hao's Shuo Ri, Wangri, and Obscure Day referred to the three days at the beginning of each month, the middle of the month, and the end of the month.

"Vision, star power, you still said that there will be strange beasts?" Lian Jin seemed to think of something.

"Yes, and on that day, in addition to the strange beasts like the lyreworm, there will be some other powerful alien beasts under that pattern, yes, if it weren't for the formation arranged by the high priest, we might have been eaten by those strange beasts as food, and that lyreworm was one of them. ”

Looking at Xiong Hao's expression as if he was a little afraid, Lian Jin and the three of them had a word in their hearts, the guards were stealing.

"Then do you usually worship the heavens in the back mountain?" asked Lian Jin as he walked, looking at the clansmen who were secretly looking at the three of them.

"No, today is the first time, and I don't know what the high priest thinks, this is not yet the sun, although there are not many strange beasts entrenched in that place, but there are still strange beasts entrenched there, but there are three here today, even if there are more foreign beasts, there is no problem, hehe. ”

Lian Jin listened quietly to what Xiong Hao said, all this made sense, when the high priest met, Lian Jin sensed that his strength was probably equivalent to that of the late stage of foundation building, but a monk in the late stage of foundation building, close to a half-step golden pill, how could he feel at ease to be the guardian of some secular people in this kind of poor mountains and bad waters.

Is it for these people? Not necessarily, humans are animals that actually have a motive and purpose in everything they do, but sometimes they are subconsciously not recognized, but this kind of purpose does not exist because of personal negation.

Now Lian Jin can make a hypothesis that the high priest has learned of the vision of this place under certain circumstances, and has come here to participate in the mysterious vision, whether he has succeeded or not, but for a long time the role of protector has been firmly instilled in the hearts of these people, so that he can use that identity without being known by other monks.

As for whether the qin worm was his previous means or he realized it from a vision, these are now empty words, and even Jin can't speculate arbitrarily, all of this will not be known until the back mountain.

Along the way, Lian Jin asked Xiong Hao some other questions, and also got some satisfactory answers, such as the map of this area, some forbidden places that cannot be entered at will, and cities built by humans.

"Here, three immortal masters, this is the place where the back mountain worships the sky. Xiong Hao led the three of them through the stone houses in those valleys, and then through a dark passage, to the so-called back mountain, where miracles appeared.

At the end of the passage, a picturesque world comes into view, this is a small valley, much larger than the valley in front, I don't know how it was formed, the valley is full of flowers, the grass and trees spread, although it is night at this time, but under the light of the starlight, Meng Luoyao falls, jagged and draped, there is a lake in the middle of the valley, the breeze blows, and the ripples are spreading.

The fragrance of flowers and the smell of grass fill the nose, intoxicating, if it were not for the powerful breath in this valley, this is definitely a fairyland on earth.

What is that? Lian Jin looked at a snake head as big as a house that suddenly drilled out in the middle of the lake, the scales on the snake's head did not touch a drop when it came out of the water, and the eyes that were as big as a water tank emitted a dazzling light, and as the huge body surfaced, the four wings also lifted the lake water vigorously, like a heavy rain.

When the powerful body came out of the water, Lian Jin and the others finally saw the appearance of the strange beast clearly, although it was a snake, but Lian Jin did not feel the slightest insidious viciousness from other snake demon beasts, but a domineering and kingly demeanor that could not be concealed.

"Hiss......" The snake's head was raised upward, its four wings flashed suddenly, and a long roar rose with the water waves rushing to the sky, and some of the surrounding demon beasts were also paralyzed to the ground, not daring to move.

"That's one of the overlords in the back mountain, he's much more powerful than that piano worm, but like those strange beasts here, it's only willing to absorb star power, as long as it doesn't provoke it and doesn't enter the lake, it won't make a move. ”

Xiong Hao explained for Lian Jin and the others.

"That's the Singing Snake, which ranks in the top 100 in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and is naturally much more powerful than the Qin Worm, but you said that the alien beasts in this valley are only absorbing star power?"

"yes, except for the worm. ”

It would be strange if that qin insect only absorbed star power, Lian Jin thought to himself.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "It is roughly like a snake, but it has four wings, and it has the sound of a rock." Seeing the great drought in Qiyi. ”

"This place is not simple, wait a little while once the high priest shows up, he will be killed with the power of thunder, I am afraid that there will be too many changes in it, and there will be problems. "Lian Jin transmitted the sound to Chang Xuanxing.

Lian Jin looked at the huge stone circular altar not far away, the bottom was hanging in the air, a round platform held up the altar, and there was only a simple stone staircase leading to the altar, countless spiritual energy points and the power of the stars converged on it, it looked like a dream, but at the edge of the path near the altar, there was a strange beast lying there swallowing spiritual energy and star power.

Xiong Hao also stopped moving forward, but told Lian Jin that this strange beast would not be able to pass until the high priest came to communicate.

Lian Jin didn't say much after hearing this, but looked at the strange beast.

The beast resembled a cow, with a white head, but with a snake's tail and only one eye.

In the place where it was lying, it showed a different color from its surroundings, the bottom of the huge body was all dry yellow, but at the edge of the dry yellow was a new green, which made Lian Jin immediately think of another strange beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

There are many golden jade trees on the mountain. There is a beast, its shape is like a cow and the head is white, and the eyes are snake's tail, and its name is called the dragon.

When it enters the water, the water source will immediately dry up, and when it enters the grass, the grass will immediately die, and in this case, it seems that it is also a fire monster.

"Do you think the strange beasts here are all the high priest's pet beasts?" asked Lian Jin jokingly.

"I'm not sure how to deal with the two or three beasts here, so I'll do it directly when he comes forward, I guess that vision is what he covets, it's been so long, I don't believe he didn't get something from it. Chang Xuanxing looked at the star power not far away, and said.

Lian Jin looked at the people who came to worship the heavens at this time, only a few hundred, and at this time he was looking at Lian Jin's side with awe and gratitude, if he let these people know that the high priest they respected would be killed by these three people in a while, would they look at themselves with this kind of eyes.

"Here, let's shoot. Lian Jin's divine sense had sensed that the high priest was coming from that cave, and said to Chang Xuanxing that this kind of thing would be killed with one blow, and Lian Jin felt that it was better to let Chang Xuanxing make a move.

After hearing Lian Jin's words, Chang Xuanxing was also ready to make a move, he knew before that Lian Jin's divine sense was stronger than his divine sense, but in his heart he just added a stroke to Lian Jin's mystery again.

In the picture reflected by Lian Jin's divine sense, the high priest was dressed in formal clothes, and he was about to pass through that passage with the support of a group of clansmen, but his eyes were cold and his face was pale, if it wasn't for Lian Jin's divine sense, he would never be able to see it.

The group walked out of the cave, and in an instant, the cold face seemed to change faces, like a spring breeze, a gentle smile and white hair, more like a teacher, after seeing Lian Jin and the three of them, he immediately walked over here, and said something in his mouth.

But before he could speak, Chang Xuanxing's finger had already been drawn, the sword was raised, and the wind and clouds were chaotic, in the eyes of the high priest, as if he saw the destruction of the stars and the blooming of thousands of flowers, he didn't know why they would do it so quickly, did their plans leak?

The blood was left from the center of the eyebrows, the smile was solidified on the face, and the black and white clothes seemed to have a blood-colored plum blossom on the chest, so bewitching and cold.
