Chapter 229: A New Legend

On the back of the giant snake, the patriarch of the Lingmu clan was still in a trance at the moment.

"Two distinguished guests, have you really eliminated the Dreadful Calamity Beast, one of the Seven Calamity Beasts?" Although the Mingguang Patriarch knew that the belief of the ancestor of the Mandrill Clan was most likely true, he was still a little unbelievable.

Zhan Yue nodded, "The Dreadful Disaster Beast has been destroyed, and we heard that there is an artifact in the Spirit Eye Clan, so we came to visit. ”

The old patriarch was afraid for a while, these people of his own had just shot arrows and attacked them, and if they started a fire with their strength, they would not be able to exterminate themselves. After all, the most powerful Spirit Eye Clan Ancestor could no longer protect them.

"Hey......" Patriarch Mingguang lamented, "If only you had come earlier, you would have come with me." ”

After that, the Mingguang patriarch took the two to the clan land.

The Psimu are a race that lives deep in the forest, and prefers to live in treehouses. This huge forest was cultivated by them, and now everything is one with the forest. Nestled on tall tree trunks and scattered among the treetops, each treehouse is made of wood, with vines and colorful flowers, as if it were a masterpiece of nature itself. A little smoke rises from the chimney of the treehouse, wafting in the fresh air, filled with a faint scent of wood and flowers, making people feel a sense of tranquility and comfort.

There are three or four thousand Lingmu people living in this land, and they are not as populous and widely distributed as the Mandrill Clan. A race with a population of only three or four thousand is already a very dangerous situation. Fortunately, they have no natural enemies, and they live in a dream forest like a peach source, so they can reproduce and develop steadily.

There are several huge ancient trees in the center of this treehouse town, and the towering ancient trees are covered with various colorful streamers, which seems to be a ritual of blessing, and what is even more terrifying is that there are snakes entrenched on the branches of the ancient trees, and the place guarded by so many blind snakes is naturally the most important holy place of the Lingmu clan.

"Patriarch, what kind of tree is this?" Zhan Yue said curiously.

"It's the sacred tree of our clan." Mingguang looked at the sacred tree with deep worry in his eyes.

A group of people, including men and women, old and young, all looked curiously at Zhan Yue and the two on top of the giant snake, and they were rare guests of their clan. Each of these Psimu people has a blind snake wrapped around their shoulders, and they have been living together for many years. Patriarch Mingguang did not stop at the clan land, but traveled through the clan land and took Zhan Yue and the others to the depths of the forest, a somewhat empty place, which had been reclaimed into a cemetery where the ancestors of the Lingmu clan were buried.

Among the graves, Zhan Yue was very keenly aware that some of them had monuments, some of them were not, and more than a dozen tombs were obviously more luxurious than others.

"Those tombs are the tombs of heroes, some of them are buried in them, and some of them are just clothed mounds. These heroes were all sacrificed for my Mingguang Clan to destroy the Disaster Beasts. There was both sadness and admiration in the eyes of the Mingguang patriarch.

"So many people?" Zhan Yue was stunned for a moment, it seems that the Lingmu clan is very closely related to the calamity beast.

"Hey..."There was another long sigh, and the Lingmu Patriarch said slowly, "I believe you already know a lot about the Seven Calamity Beasts from the mouth of the Mountain Mandrill Ancestor, so I'll tell you something you don't know." ”

"Back then, when the Seven Calamities were in turmoil in the world, an alien from the sky, that is, a person who looked like you, came, and that celestial man was extremely powerful, and he sealed the Seven Calamity Beasts with his own strength. However, he said that the seven plagues are immortal and immortal, and that special methods are needed to completely eliminate them. So he forged the Seven Great Artifacts, and just as he was about to use the Seven Artifacts to completely eliminate the Seven Calamities, he told the world that his hometown had suffered a disaster and that he had to go back immediately. The Lingmu Patriarch recalled the story that the Ancestor had told him.

Before he left, he seemed to anticipate that he might never come back. So he handed over the seven artifacts to the seven powerful races for safekeeping, hoping that they could find someone who could use the artifacts to eliminate the seven plagues. That's right, my Lingmu clan was also one of the seven major races back then. Unfortunately, as time went by, we decayed. ”

Zhan Yue and Yun Yao both listened quietly, the events of many years ago had become legends, and the more information they obtained, the more helpful it would be for them.

"In the beginning, all seven races were actively looking for the right people to use the artifact, but we all failed. Not even one of the Seven Plagues was wiped out, and gradually, everyone lost their fighting spirit. After all, the Seven Calamities Seal is there, and it won't affect everyone's lives. However, we Lingmu are different... We can't afford to leave it alone. "Patriarch Mingguang had a bitter face, the other six races could let the Seven Calamities go unpunished, but they couldn't.

"Why?" Zhan Yue said curiously.

"You also saw the existence of the holy tree just now, when our clan was at its peak, there were more than thirty holy trees, and now only one is left. The ancestors all said that our Lingmu clan is a race born with the sacred tree, and if the sacred tree becomes extinct, it will also be the day of extinction of our race. The talents of my Lingmu clan are the two supernatural powers of 'clairvoyance' and 'vision sharing', but these two supernatural powers are hidden deep in the bloodline, and they are not born with them like other races. And the fruit of the sacred tree can awaken us to our supernatural powers. Patriarch Mingguang continued to explain.

"I see, but what does this have to do with the Calamity?" Zhan Yue wondered.

"We Lingmu are highly dependent on the Sacred Tree, and the place where the Sacred Tree grows is where the Sacred Tree is located, and the Sacred Tree can only take root here now, and other plans to transplant the Sacred Tree have failed in the end. Therefore, our clan land can only stay here and cannot move away. And one of the seven calamities, the mirror-hugging monkey, lives on the Monkey Mountain not far from here! We live next to the plague beasts, and we can't move out yet. ”

Patriarch Mingguang's tone was already a little sad and indignant, perhaps unwilling to be so unfair to them from the heavens. "Even more desperately, we find that the seal of the plague beast is gradually weakening, and the territory where it can move is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will cover the place where the sacred tree is. And that day will be the day of the destruction of our people. Unless we give up the opportunity to awaken the bloodline supernatural powers, but if we give up the supernatural powers, how can our clan gain a foothold? Demise is likewise a matter of time. So, while other races can leave the plague beast alone, our race must find a way to destroy it. ”

"Generations of patriarchs have sought out warriors from within the clan and from the outside to destroy the calamity beasts with artifacts. This is also the origin of the tombs of heroes that you see. The heroes either entered the Monkey Mountain and never came out, or they went crazy when they came back, and then they all committed suicide. Until, our clan is withering, the people in the clan are withering, and there are not enough resources to go out to find suitable candidates, and finally... The ancestor personally took the artifact and ventured into the Monkey Mountain. ”
