Cold Spirit City, Spirit Mine Mountain Range

On this day, Qiye still traveled the cliff plank road, carrying the mineral spirit stone from the depths of the mountain range and returning. On the narrow plank road, when the new adult slave porters walked past Qiye with a heavy basket of ore spirit stones on their backs, they all cast surprised glances at him. In their eyes, Qiye was so immature but so strong, carrying a small basket of ore spirit stones on his back, walking slowly without saying a word and burying his head in difficulty, just like a camel bell and mule horse on the ancient mountain road. However, Qiye ignored these surprised eyes, and continued to bow his head without asking.

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking of the whole mountain, and the abrupt boulders on the cliff cracked, carrying billowing smoke and dust, rolling down the steep cliff face. Boom Boom Boom ..... The boulder smashed into the mountain plank road with a majestic and unhindered momentum, and after breaking through the plank road in an instant, it took a dozen slave porters who had no time to dodge, and fell into the misty mountain stream below with people and baskets.

Ahh......hh In the clouds below, the last desperate screams of the porters were heard, and then the sound gradually calmed down......

Qiye was shaken down by this sudden violent shock, and sat on the plank road coldly, holding the guardrail of the plank road. Looking at the dozen or so people who disappeared in front of him in an instant, a wave of fear struck him, and suddenly Qiye's face turned pale and his pupils were pale. The rest of the people around were lying on their stomachs or lying down, in different postures, but they all looked at the scene with a blank and frightened face.

Just after the collapse, another loud "boom" sounded when a huge arm made of rock suddenly broke out from the rock wall at the fracture of the trestle in front of it. The huge rock arm opened its palm, instantly grabbed a frightened slave porter, and dragged him into the cave without hindrance, accompanied by the chewing sound of bones "clucking" and breaking, and a heart-rending scream came from the cave. After a while, the scream died down, and then a loud roar like a breaking wind came from the cave.

"Roar!!

"This, this is a rock beast, everyone run!!" A middle-aged porter who had first understood from the shock and had a little insight hurriedly shouted to the crowd around him.

"Run away!" The people around him also woke up from being at a loss, staggered up, and didn't care about the mineral spirit stones scattered on the ground, they threw baskets and abandoned stones one after another, and fled in the direction of the plank road down the mountain with frightened and frightened faces.

Qiye sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the scene in front of him with a blank face and an extremely frightened look. I don't know who it was, but in the escape, I bumped into Nanaya's limp little body, and a sudden conflict woke Nanaya from his trance. Looking at the crowd of people around him who kept running for their lives, Qiye instinctively cheered up and wanted to get up and escape down the mountain together. But just when Qiye wanted to make a move, he was sad to find that his body was so weak and powerless, and his hands and feet were so scared that he couldn't even pull out the strength to support himself to stand up.

"Damn! Damn......" Qiye gritted his teeth, cried and scolded himself fiercely, he didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, he was so useless! Although he scolded bitterly, he still tried to get up, straightened up and was about to step out, but he was unfortunately hit down again, and Qiye's thin body fell to the ground like a leaf blown by the wind. After realizing that he was no longer able to get up and continue to escape, Qiye had to curl up on the side of the plank road, trying to avoid the trampling of the escapees, but his body was still constantly being kicked by the toes of the fleeing people again and again, and he had to endure the pain and remain silent.

"Get out, get out!" In the crowd of fleeing for their lives, more than a dozen soldiers with weapons in their hands pushed away the panicked crowd against the current, rushed to the break of the trestle, guarded the dark and deep cave, clenched the blades in their hands, and waited for the battle.

......Another deafening roar came from the depths of the cave, and a moment later, a giant beast about 10 meters long soared out of the cave and slammed into the plank road in front of the soldiers.

On closer inspection, the beast was pitch-black and rocky, and it was extremely strong. The head is as sharp as a lizard, with fangs on the mouth of a snake, and arms that can move with the freedom of a human, and behind it swings a giant tail as thick and powerful as a python, red eyes, angry eyes, and roaring like fire.

"It seems that it is really a rock beast, I didn't expect that there is still this kind of first-order demon beast living in this barren mountain range, it's really interesting...... Get ready to fight!" a middle-aged man who looked like a leader looked at him, smiled, and then ordered the soldiers beside him with cold eyes. The general strength of a first-order demon beast is equivalent to that of a battle-level peak powerhouse of human spiritual cultivation.

"Obey! Lord Wolf Guard!" The soldiers did not dare to look this man in the eyes, bowed their heads and obeyed, and raised their twelve points of spirit and waited for the battle. And the middle-aged man named "Wolf Guard" stared at the giant beast in front of him with eyes like hungry wolves, holding two scimitars with silver light in his chest. His tongue and lips licked lightly, his eyes were hot, his spiritual power gathered all over his body, and he was eager to try.

After the huge rock beast saw more than a dozen soldiers with sharp swords and spears in front of it, its blood-red eyes were full of violent beastliness, and it instantly waved its thick arms, and tore forward with majestic and majestic strength.

"Martial arts, twin swords falling to the moon!" Seeing the rock beast attack coming rapidly, the wolf guard's eyes were sharp, and the majestic spiritual power erupted and tightly wrapped his body. The body bent slightly, and suddenly catapulted forward, and with both hands, a pair of imposing silver wolf scimitars were clenched and slashed towards the oncoming arms.

"Bang" A shocking sound of gold and iron was deterred. The soldiers watching the battle were shocked back by the sound that erupted more than a dozen steps, and the wolf guards were shocked back by one step back and slammed their feet hard, and then the impact on their bodies was turned away. On the other hand, the rock beast was shocked back a few steps by the fierce impact, and after slowing down and seeing that the opponent in front of him was not injured at all, the rock beast was even more angry and fierce, roaring fiercely. Obviously, in this initial encounter, the wolf guards had a slight upper hand.

"It's worthy of a tomahawk-level martial arts master!" a young soldier who had just woken up from the shocking confrontation in front of him couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, Lord Wolf Bingwei is one of the four great spirit generals of our Cold Spirit City, and he is deeply respected by the City Lord. A veteran soldier with a little insight next to him explained to the young soldier with a look of reverence.

"That's amazing!"

"Even the city lord is so important, and his real strength is extraordinary!"

............

The soldiers who witnessed it around were amazed again and again.

At this time, the wolf guard was engrossed in staring at the roaring rock beast in front of him with cold eyes, a long-lost blood surging in his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a dangerous sneer, and his tongue licked his lips.

When the huge rock beast saw that its unstoppable attack was blocked by the enemy in front of it, its blood-colored eyes instantly burned with rage, and it roared in the sky, and then raised its huge fists and smashed it with a wind-like airflow, wantonly destroying the person in front of it.

When the wolf guard saw the huge fists of the rock beast above his head smashing towards him with unstoppable force, his eyes were cold, and he quickly retreated, and the majestic fists slammed into the plank road in front of him like a thunderbolt.

In this way, a section of the plank road was easily smashed, and the broken wood was scattered into the deep valley and mountain stream. The rock beast saw that his attack had failed, and after roaring with force, it quickly flung its huge tail at it. "Whew" A dark and huge whip shadow swept towards the wolf guard, which was still unstable, and it was like a bamboo.

"Hmph!" the wolf guard snorted coldly, his face unchanged. After squatting slightly, the body instantly ejected, dodging the sweeping giant tail. And the sweeping giant tail slammed on the mountain rock on one side, and with a loud "snap", the whole mountain trembled slightly again, and the loose rocks on the mountain rolled down one after another, smashing onto the plank road on the mountainside.

The wolf guard, who was catapulted into the air, lowered his head and volleyed down at the figure of the rock beast directly below. sighed slightly, then held the Silver Moon Scimitar with both hands, and his heart moved:

"Martial arts, the moon slashes the world!" a low shout

The wolf guard's body instantly shot vertically, turning into a beam of silver light and crashing into the top of the rock beast's head. Whoa... Hearing a miserable tearing cry, the surrounding soldiers saw a familiar figure appear above the rock beast's head, a pair of cold scimitars had penetrated deep into the rock beast's hard skull, flowing green blood.

And after that miserable scream, the life in the rock beast's eyes gradually faded, and the blood-red eyes slowly lost their blood light and turned black in an instant. Then the huge body of the rock beast lost its vitality and plunged into the abyss on one side, disappearing.

In the eyes of the soldiers around him who were extremely shocked. On the plank road, the cold figure settled gently. His eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded cold and compelling spiritual power, which made the surrounding soldiers shudder and choke.

"Pass the order!Clean up the battlefield and quickly repair the plank road!" The wolf guard scanned the surrounding situation and shouted, and a majestic order came out.

"Obey!" The surrounding soldiers immediately woke up from the shock just now and knelt down on one knee to receive the order. And every soldier's face showed a look of fear and reverence.

After seven nights of prostrate on the ground, after witnessing the whole process, his face was also full of shock. But in those dark and bright eyes, there was another color in addition to shock. It was a longing, a longing for power that I had never had in my life: if I could have the power to break through all the obstacles in front of me, I would be able to get rid of this kind of regional slave life!

In this world, spiritual strength can be divided into 6 main levels from low to high: primary, battle, spiritual, holy, king, and emperor.

There are 3 stages in each subjective level:

There are 9 stages for the primary level: the first to the ninth stage.

The battle level is divided into 3 stages: battle axe level, war spirit level, and war spirit level

The spirit level is divided into 3 stages: the Xuan Spirit level, the undead level, and the Holy Spirit level

The holy level is divided into 3 stages: the holy war level, the holy general level, and the holy king level

The king level is divided into 3 sections: Hades level, Heavenly King level, and Emperor level;

As for the emperor level, it already belongs to the legendary level, and no one has reached the peak for tens of millions of years from ancient times to the present. There were only seven people at the king level in the ancient wars, and they were called by later generations: the seven kings of the ancient wars!

Each level stage is divided into three tiers according to the degree of strength: early stage, middle stage, and late peak stage. Each layer is subdivided into nine layers: the first to three layers in the early stage, the fourth to six layers in the middle stage, and the seven to nine layers in the later stage.

The further the strength goes, every small step of improvement is like flying over the moat, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Therefore, the holy level has become the strongest existence of the human cultivators today, in this territory where the human race lives, there are twelve empires with vast territories, and each empire has a ruler whose strength has reached the holy level, although there is a slight friction between the borders of the great powers, but the overall strength is constantly restrained to achieve a certain balance.

The Cold Spirit City, where Qiye is located, is located in a remote corner of the northernmost part of the territory of the Northern Tooth Empire in the north. The city was a "fifth-class city" with a population of about 200,000 but as many as 50,000 slaves.

The city lord of Cold Spirit City, Han Qi is a spiritual cultivator whose strength has reached the "Battle Spirit Level" and majored in cold ice spiritual power. And for the improvement of his own strength, he used 50,000 slaves to mine the endless spirit ore mountain ranges outside the cold spirit city, these mountains contain cold spirit ore, but they are slightly barren and the spiritual power is too thin. Only one spirit stone can be refined from one ton of spirit stones, and 50,000 slaves are continuously mined to supply spirit stones to Cold Spirit City.
