Chapter 856: The Wise
The Holy Mountain, where the moon ship docks, has a simple dock. At one end of the dock was a rocky beach, where the stream was battering with black gravel and had turned some of the wreckage of the ships piled on top of it into pieces of rotten wood. Looking at the wreckage of these boats, the black owl said, "This river is not very peaceful, and some of the dark holes in the river are connected to the holy lake. Sometimes, something will enter the river through those holes. They attack ships, so when some of them float to the end of the foot of this sacred mountain, they are often empty. ”
"Whether the pilgrim dies in the river or falls into the valley, it is seen as a return to the bosom of the holy mountain. Therefore, every year there are many victims, but there are still people who initiate pilgrimages. The Black Owl jumped onto the dock and helped secure the ship nearby.
Zero also disembarked, following behind the black owl. The two left the dock and circled to the south side of the Holy Mountain, where the starting point for the journey to the Holy Temple was located. As he walked, the black owl briefly introduced the history of this place to Zero. The Holy Mountain is actually the birthplace of the Shadow Clan, and according to the records of the Shadow Clan, they came from the bottom of the Holy Mountain and came to the surface through the Gate of the Palate Tooth. Became one of the few clans in the Black Land at that time, and then lived around the Holy Mountain. Ten years later, clans sprung up in this land, and some clans began to notice the existence of the Shadow Clan.
At first, because the number of Shadow Clan was scarce, many clans had the intention of bringing them together. However, although the number of Shadow Clan is small, the adult warriors are all high-ranking powerhouses. After the Shadow Clan warriors guarded the village and repelled several waves of attacks from other clans, the patriarch saw the hidden dangers of the Shadow Clan. Their high-level combat power was unrivaled in the Black Land at that time, but the lack of mid- and lower-level warriors would make it impossible for the Shadow Clan to grow and develop.
So the patriarch used the seeds of the black god and the holy medicine as a reward, and began to recruit some powerful clans to become the guardians of the Shadow Clan. This gradually changed the chaotic pattern of the black land at that time, and ten powerful races approached the Shadow Clan. They named the nearby mountain where the Shadow Clan was located the Holy Mountain, and gradually sanctified it, thus subtly giving all the clans a common belief.
Then came the series of things related to the holy mountain, such as the holy temple, the holy lake, and the sacred place of Hakhara. It can be said that the common beliefs of all the alien races in the Black Land originated here.
"So to put it simply, you and several other powerful clans have made up this so-called Holy Mountain Holy Land for the purpose of facilitating the management of other clans?"
The black lord said indifferently: "Aren't you human beings like this? Putting a layer of divinity on the ruler and making the people have faith will make it twice the result with half the effort." Speaking of which, we still learn from you. ”
Zero smile and no answer, the history of mankind spans thousands of times more than that of other races. Naturally, there have been similar patterns during this period, and if you use this to ridicule the black lord and others, it is tantamount to laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps.
"Anyway, you have to admit it. With a common faith, the clans of this land can be united, not scattered. Otherwise, what are we going to do against your human invasion?"
"Stop, that's just the work of the Dark Council, don't elevate their actions to the level of all humanity. Zero waved his hand.
The black owl shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Human beings are inherently aggressive, and they don't vary from person to person. The Dark Council just got ahead of the others. ”
While the two were chatting, they had come to the starting point of the Holy Path. The Holy Way is the general name for the intermittent staircase between the mountain peaks, and it is the ultimate pilgrimage path for the aliens. But now, the entrance to the Holy Way is blocked by a few aliens. One of them resembles a spider-man, holding a halberd and a spear in both hands, and his expression is unruly. When he saw him, the black owl frowned slightly, and whispered to Zero: "That's the warrior of the Tattooed Spider Clan, and the captain of the temple guard." His name is Kadio, and he's a troublesome guy......"
As the two of them turned out of the mountain trail, the captain of the guard named Kadio also saw them. And his gaze fell on Zero's body, and a contemptuous smile immediately appeared on the face of that kind of person, so Zero knew that trouble was coming at him.
At this moment, above the temple. Two figures stood at the edge of the wallless pillared hall, and below that, a steep, almost vertical mountain wall. From this direction, the city of Hakara is just a white patch. And more of it, it's a black land.
Two figures, one is as short as a dwarf, with a big head and a small body. The huge head was covered with markings, and the three eyes were arranged in a pin-shaped pattern, taking up almost half of the face. There is no nose, only a few small holes that appear to be respiratory organs, one of which is cleft to the base of the ear. It has elf-like pointed ears and a row of earrings strung on the left ear.
The dwarf wore a simple gray robe, and it looked as if two pieces of cloth had been haphazardly put over his body and fastened with a rope as a belt. The robe mops the floor, the feet are not visible, and a pair of three-toed strange palms are behind the back. This dwarf-like alien elder looked down the mountain with a thoughtful expression.
This is the patriarch of the Sodor tribe, Wig, and the Sodo and the Sander are both notorious dwarves in the Black Land. The difference is that the Sander tribe are almost all ingenious craftsmen, while the Sodor tribe is born with an unusually huge head, which makes their spiritual power a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary alien races, so there is no shortage of people with the ability to perceive the domain. And that big head also makes Soduo much smarter than other aliens.
Wiig is not only the patriarch, but also one of the temple elders, and is known as the existence of the wise man. Several major resolutions of the temple have been made by Weg. Next to Weig was another elder, Pan Sen, who was also the patriarch of the Spider Clan.
The Spider Clan has a humanoid upper body and a spider-like lower body. They are naturally agile and able to fight in most terrains, making them excellent fighters. Because of the special environment of the temple, the guards of the temple have been served by the warriors of the Spider Clan for many years. Only a special race like them, who can freely go up and down the vertical mountain wall, can protect every corner of the sacred mountain.
"I've heard that Ba Jin and their blood collar encircled the human devil, but they ended up failing. Not only did he lose the lives of hundreds of soldiers, but even King Kong was sacrificed. Wig's voice was deep, like the wind echoing through the valley.
Pan Sen's voice is strange and ugly, in fact, the tattooed spider man has a humanoid upper body, but does not have the same vocal organs as a human. Their voices were more like ventriloquism, simulating the movement of several special muscles in their abdomen: "If it weren't for the warriors of our clan to guard the holy mountain, otherwise, the end of that night would have been rewritten." ”
Wei Ge smiled slightly, this spider clan was so proud from top to bottom. He didn't refute anything, just said lightly, "Ba Jin had already advanced to the tenth rank a year ago. ”
"What?" Pan Sen's eyes showed horror, "Why haven't I heard about this?"
"He's always kept a low profile, and you're not ignorant. This is still sensed by my ability, and Ba Jin is hiding very deeply. And I heard that he had already shot without reservation in the battle of the blood collar. With that, Wigg looked at Panson with the eye on his forehead.
Pan Sen's face changed several times, and he sighed after the most gloomy: "In that case, this demon should be the eleventh order. Hell, there are eleventh-order humans running into our territory. ”
"One thing to note is that before Ba Jin and them made a move, that devil had already been severely injured by our Hundred Warriors, so Ba Jin thought that this was a great opportunity. Slowly, Wigg threw another bombshell.
Pan Sen looked at this dwarf elder with a strange expression: "Doesn't that mean that the so-called Hundred Battle Warriors are also eleventh?"
"It's just that I heard that the news came from the black owl. But don't you think that the black owl is too enthusiastic this time? For the sake of a human being, he rushed to the village of the Asaks without going down the mountain easily. Wig laughed, "Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't seen any other ShadowClan people in a long time. In the past two years, all the affairs of the Shadow Clan have been handled by the black owls, which is very strange. ”
"You mean, maybe that rumor is true?"
Wigg nodded: "Black lords, they probably have violated the taboo." The misuse of the Black God's seed has led to some irreversible change in the ShadowClan. But the arrival of Young Master Amanda gave the black owl a glimmer of hope. Amanda, the silver ranger, was not taking the elixir, but was eventually saved by the Hundred Warriors. The black owl should have heard the news and rushed to meet with them. ”
Pan Sen felt that his head was big, and he shook his head and said, "In this case, the black lord and that Hundred Battles Warrior should have reached some kind of agreement. ”
"It should be so, didn't that warrior offer to meet the dark god of the Shadow Clan, but to open the door of the Palate Tooth requires the consent of our temple elders, and the agreement reached between the black lord and him is probably to help him pass the temple's resolution in exchange for the other party's condition of saving the Shadow Clan. ”
"I see, that's why you're asking Cardio to stop that so-called Hundred Warriors from going up the mountain. Pan Sen also had a smile on his face: "If the Shadow Clan declines, then we can control the Dark God through the Black Owl, and even the annual seed distribution power." ”
Wiig shook his head: "No, I didn't let Kadio deliberately block it for that. I just want to confirm what level that warrior's strength has reached. ”
"Don't you think we need a knife, a knife sharp enough to kill that human devil for us. At best, they lose both. ”
At the foot of the mountain, the black owl stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing, Kadio, hurry up and get out of the way." ”
"It turned out to be the respected Black Owl Elder, your words are naturally unimpeded. Cardio gestured, then stepped aside with a few of the spider warriors to make way out.
The black owl looked at him coldly and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I understand very clearly, you can go over. As for ...... other," Cardio looked at Zero, and said, "In the history of the Holy Mountain, there has never been a precedent for a human to pass. As the captain of the Sacred Mountain Guard, I can't break the rules, don't you say?"
"He is no ordinary human, he is a warrior of a hundred battles recognized by the Asaks. Not only did Gao Ge recognize him, but even Ba Jin and several of their patriarchs also recognized his identity!" The black owl took out the tokens of Ba Jin and the others.
Kadio glanced at it and sneered, "But among them, I didn't see the token of the patriarch of Pansen. That is, at least we didn't admit it. ”
The black owl's face sank suddenly, and then Zero said, "It seems that this captain of the guard wants to weigh me, is that so?" ”
"A good deal for you, human. Kadio returned to the middle of the path: "As long as you can pass me, you will pass the level." But I see you like that, you can probably only crawl under my feet. Of course, if you do, I can pass it for you. ”
He laughed, and the other spider warriors joined suit. The Spider-Man was already tall, and Cardio was extraordinarily outstanding. When he supported his body on those knots, he was more than three meters tall. There is hardly any space to pass through such a stop in the middle of the holy path. To pass through Kadio, then the only way to defeat him is to defeat him from the front.
Kadio is a ninth-order!
Zero shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just get behind you, right?"
"That's right, that's it. Kadio deliberately stretched his feet open: "I personally suggest that you climb under me." ”
Zero smiled and took a step forward like a walk. But the man disappeared in Kadio's eyes, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Kadio. There were quite a few spider warriors present, but no one could see how Zero moved. It was as if he had reached the back of Cadio in one step, but there was no sound of high-speed movement breaking through the air.
Cardio's face pulled down, and the smile on his face stiffened. He knew that he had been tricked, and the captain of the guard slowly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Spatial movement?"
Zero nodded, stepped back again, and reappeared in the previous position: "Forget it, you won't admit it in this tricky way." Or would it be better to knock you out from the front, so that you wouldn't have an opinion, right?"
Cardio turned around and said, "You're looking for death!"
"Let's see who's looking for death?" Zero leaned over and rushed forward. The empty energy stones on the body turned out, the energy power skyrocketed, and in an instant, the surrounding space gave birth to the sound of tidal thunder, which was the sound of energy colliding with each other.
Above the temple, Wigg and Panson had turned to return to the depths of the pillars. Patriarch Sodor shook his whole body, and then Panson sensed it too, and the two of them rushed to the edge of the hall at the same time. Wiig said in a trembling voice, "This breath is not Kadio's. ”
"Of course, his strength is not strong enough to this extent......" Pan Sen said bitterly, "It's that human's, damn it, is this the tenth-order strength?"
"No, no, no, that human has more power than that. I could feel that he wasn't using all his energy. That's right, he's also an eleventh-order ......" Wegger paused, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "This is really a good knife." ”
Under the holy mountain, Zero punches towards Kadio. Flakes of golden light flashed on the fist, and a bright golden light lingered at the edge of the fist. There was a high-pitched screech in the air, like a heavy artillery shell bursting through the air, and it was pushed towards Kadio's chest.
There was only the light of the zero fist in his pupils, and in it, he felt an unimaginable amount of destructive power! He was a ninth-order himself, but in the face of this violent energy, Cardio was as helpless as a child of a giant. As soon as he gritted his teeth, his whole body was full of energy. A grayish-white glow from its body wound around the halberd, and with a wild roar, the halberd pointed at Zero's fist.
Zero smiled faintly, and the fist suddenly accelerated to imprint Kadio's halberd. A cloud of white light erupted from the place where the halberd collided, and the white light shrank suddenly, and then a strong shock wave exploded around the halberd, blowing the surrounding spider warriors involuntarily clinging to the mountain wall.
Kaddio's halberd exploded one after another, and thousands of strands of golden thread flowed up the halberd's body, finally exploding the only remaining halberd body in Kadio's palm. Kadio felt like a flame exploded in the palm of his hand, shaking the skin of his palm and tearing it open, and a thread of blood popped out. And the huge force of the explosion caused others to slide backwards. Even if the knotted feet of the spider's body were nailed into the ground, they still slid back several meters, pulling out several clouds of smoke and dust, leaving deep scratches on the ground.
Zero only withdrew his fist at this time, and the void energy stone on his body was retracted, and his energy and power decreased, returning to the level that was not amazing before.
Cadio's face kept changing, and he could feel the sound of zero hitting his halberd. The fist made a slight offset, which shifted the center of gravity of the attack, and it could be said that the tip of the halberd was only grazed by the fist. This means that the pressure on Cardio is greatly reduced, otherwise if the fist is in the middle of the halberd, it will not be as simple as the halberd blowing up and the palm of the hand being injured.
With the skill of a tenth-order powerhouse, it was naturally impossible for a low-level mistake such as the shift of the center of gravity of the attack. That only shows that Zero is deliberate, which makes Cadio lose, but not so ugly. Cardio sighed, put away his previous rebellious look, nodded towards Zero, and said, "I lost, I lost convincingly." Now I believe that you are a true warrior of a hundred battles. Only a strong person like you is worthy of such a title. ”
Raising his spear to his chest, Caddio lowered his head. The other spider-man warriors followed suit, holding their weapons to their chests and bowing their heads to Zero. The black owl patted Zero's shoulder and said, "This is the etiquette of the Tattooed Spider Clan to show respect to the strong, now you should know that I care so much about your injuries for Lu, right? ”
Zero smiled helplessly, in this era, whether it is human beings or alien races, they all believe in the respect of strength and quantity. Only with the backing of strong strength can all your ideas become reality.
The Spider Warrior stepped out of the way, and Zero looked up. The holy mountain is majestic, and the walls are like thousands of miles. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to get to the temple.
"Let's go. "The black owl has taken the lead in the holy way.
By the time the two of them had reached the pillar hall of the temple, which was halfway up the mountain, it was already more than two hours later. Rao is a strong man like Zero, and it really took a little effort to climb the holy temple. Above the temple, Wigg and Panson were on the side. When Zero and the Black Owl entered the temple, Wigg greeted him and said with a smile, "It's so exciting, I'm not afraid that I am a warrior of a hundred battles recognized by the Asaks." The punch you threw against Cadio will remain in the memory of this holy land. As the first human to set foot in the Temple, I would like to welcome you only on behalf of the elders of the Temple...... Zero!"
