As the pace deepened, Ye Chen sighed more and more in his heart at the enormity of the Tianshan Mountain.

At this moment, he has been walking through the Tianshan Mountains for three days, but he has not yet reached the end, where the mountains are continuous and dense forests, and if he is not careful, he will completely lose his way.

Fortunately, in these three days, Ye Chen subdued three more powerful spirit beasts, plus the five that he had subdued before, at this time, in the Yongfeng Ancient Tower, there were eight spirit beasts that had been suppressed, which could be regarded as an extremely strong combat force.

But the trace of the holy beast, Ye Chen still had no clue.

Rustling!

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from the left direction.

Ye Chen stepped forward and gently pushed the bushes away, but found that there was an open space in front of him, and in the clearing, there was a girl in a strange costume, resting against the stump.

This girl, about fifteen years old, has bright eyes and bright teeth, a straight nose, and delicate facial features like porcelain dolls, however, she does not seem to be human, and she has a pair of cyan wings on her back, which reflects colorful brilliance in the sun, which is particularly gorgeous.

"Who!" The girl seemed to sense the approach of others, and immediately woke up, looking at Ye Chen in surprise with eyes like jewels, and after staying for a few seconds, she actually strode forward.

"Are you human?" the girl was not afraid of life, leaned over and asked suspiciously.

"My name is Ye Chen, I came to Tianshan to practice, you should be the aboriginal here, right?" Ye Chen is not familiar with Tianshan, and wants this girl to help him show the way, which can save a lot of time.

However, before Ye Chen's words could be spoken, the girl frowned tightly, crossed her hands, and said: "This is the core area of the Tianshan Mountains, every step is full of crises, and further on, there is the River Styx blocking the way, if you anger the river god, even if you have nine lives, it is not enough to die." ”

The girl lowered her voice, obviously wanting to deter Ye Chen, but her age was slightly younger, and her voice was still a little immature.

Ye Chen suddenly became interested, and deliberately quipped: "In this world, there is no god at all, why have I never heard of the river god you just said?"

"You haven't heard of it, does it mean you haven't?" The girl rolled her eyes and said a little speechlessly: "The River Styx is the mother river of the Tianshan Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, feeding hundreds of races, and the river god is the god in charge of the River Styx, almost everyone knows about this, you have not heard of it, you can only say that you are lonely and unheard." ”

"Really?" Ye Chen said with a hint of mockery on his face: "But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false, and you haven't seen the river god with your own eyes, how do you know about his existence?"

"You ......"

The girl was suddenly dumbfounded, her mouth made a whining sound, and her whole little face was even more red, and finally she stomped her foot and hummed: "I can see the river god with my own eyes tonight, and by that time, I can prove that the river god is real." ”

After speaking, the girl glared at Ye Chen fiercely, turned around, and disappeared directly into the grass.

"What a ghost. Ye Chen smiled, and as soon as he took a step, he found that the girl had run back again, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you back again, didn't you say that you were going to see the river god?"

Ye Chen thought that the girl would fight back, but unexpectedly, the girl pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "Today is the River God Festival, you should not approach the Styx River no matter what, it is best to leave the Tianshan Mountains now and return to your clan." ”

"Why?" Ye Chen wondered.

"Anyway, you have to remember my words, don't go near the River Styx, and don't even think about seeing the river god. The girl accentuated her tone, and then left again, leaving only the same voice, which echoed through the woods.

"This girl is really weird, first said that she could see the river god tonight, and then said that I should not go near the river Styx, and do not see the river god, and said that there will be a fear for her life, what does this mean?"

Ye Chen scratched the back of his head, and after thinking about it to no avail, he didn't think about it, the top priority was to find the trace of the holy beast.

"Ye Chen, why are you here?" A crisp voice sounded, Ye Chen looked towards the source of the sound, but saw Su Qingxue, who was dressed in a strong suit, walking forward.

At this time, she exuded a strong aura on her body, and there was also a hint of blood, she should have come here to practice.

"When I have nothing to do, I just wander around. Ye Chen didn't reveal anything about the Yongfeng Ancient Tower, his tone changed, and he asked Su Qingxue: "By the way, I heard that there is a River Styx near here, and there is a river god in the River Styx, is there really such a thing?"

"River God?" Su Qingxue's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and she replied, "There is indeed a river called the River Styx near here, and as for this river god, most of it is made up. ”

"There are many tribes in this area, and within each tribe, there are many legends, this river god may be one of them, and even more, some tribes believe in the legend of ghosts and gods, and every year they hold a grand festival to select their tribesmen and offer them to the so-called gods in the form of living sacrifices, so as to pray for luck in the coming year. ”

Hearing what Su Qingxue said, Ye Chen was also secretly frightened, and said, "You Sixiang Ancient Clan control the barbarian domain, don't you never ask about such absurd things?"

"These tribes are so ignorant of the world, almost isolated, that even if we explain it, they may not believe it, and over time, neither side wants to deal with it too much. ”

"By the way, I just saw you talking to a young girl, the girl seems to be from the Qingyi Clan, the Qingyi Clan is a large tribe in this area, especially believes in ghosts and gods, and the clothes worn by that girl seem to be used for the festival. ”

Su Qingxue recalled in her mind, and when she turned around, she found that there was no trace of Ye Chen in front of her and disappeared.

Whew!

The wind was blowing in his ears, and Ye Chen's figure was shuttling quickly through the forest, with a hint of worry on his face.

It didn't take long for him to slow down, and finally landed on an ancient tree, and his eyes looked far away, looking ahead.

There, is a huge tribal land, roughly estimated, there are hundreds of households, the number of clansmen can reach thousands, in this uninhabited area, it is also a large tribe.

At this time, the tribe is extremely lively, and the sound of cheers can be heard from time to time.

And in front of the mountain gate of the tribe, there was a group of people gathered, these people were a little older, with solemn expressions on their faces, and they were whispering something, they were estimated to be the elders of the tribe, and their status was not low.

In front of this pedestrian, there is a simple wooden sedan chair, on which sits a young girl, looking up at the sky, her face is not happy, but looks a little lonely and helpless.

This girl was the girl of the Qingyi clan that Ye Chen met in the forest.

"It seems that what Su Qingxue said is right, this Qingyi clan is indeed an ignorant race that believes in ghosts and gods. Ye Chen looked at the Qingyi tribe in front of him from afar, and his voice was a little cold.

At this moment, he finally understood.

At that time, the girl of the Qingyi clan asked him to leave here many times, just because she didn't want Ye Chen to get involved in this festival and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Besides, she said that she would see the river god with her own eyes tonight, and this was not a lie.

Because at this moment, she happened to be selected by the Qingyi Clan, and she wanted to be sent to the so-called river god in the form of sacrifices!
