Chapter 2 Stone People in the Mountains
Sixteen years.
The north of the Tianxuan Continent - Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. On the Tianxuan Continent, there are not only human races, but also demonic beasts, and since the birth of the continent, the struggle between human races and demonic beasts has never stopped. For humans, the essence and blood of the monster, as well as all parts of the body, are treasures. For Warcraft, killing and devouring humans can help them improve their cultivation faster. In the history of the Tianxuan Continent, there have been five large-scale battles between humans and the Warcraft clan, the first four times, all ended in a small defeat for the human race, that period of time, for the humans of the Tianxuan Continent, it was extremely dark, the Tianxuan Continent, nearly two-thirds of the territory was occupied by the Warcraft, and countless humans were buried in the mouth of the Warcraft, until 10,000 years ago, a mysterious martial emperor of the Terran rose, led the Terran, and recovered the territory occupied by the Warcraft. It is rumored that the Terran Emperor not only led the Terran to recover the lost territory, but also killed the base camp of the Warcraft clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain alone. No one knows the result of the back, but the Terran Emperor felt a fierce battle in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain on the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and after that battle, the mysterious Emperor of the Terran never appeared again, and the Warcraft Clan retreated into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and never invaded the territory of the Terran again. Some people speculate that the mysterious Martial Emperor entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and fought a duel with the leader of the Demon Beast clan, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and died together. Later, in order to commemorate the mysterious emperor, people called him Tianxuan the Great. The human race has also developed rapidly in these 10,000 years. Until today, the overall strength of the human race has surpassed that of the Warcraft clan, and in the past ten thousand years, many martial emperor powerhouses have emerged, and some of them want to emulate the Tianxuan Emperor and kill people in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, wanting to completely wipe out the Warcraft clan. However, the Martial Emperor who entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has never heard from him since then, and over time, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has also become a forbidden place for the human race in the Tianxuan Continent, and no one dares to go deep into it, but some forces are testing on the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
......
"Xiaohu, where are you?" In the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, an old man looked anxious, his body was stained with blood, and he looked like he was not lightly injured. At this time, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, and was releasing a powerful spiritual power, searching everywhere.
"Grandpa, grandpa. "When the old man was anxious, in the thick jungle, a child ran out, looking about ten years old.
"Little Tiger. When the old man saw the child, he was overjoyed. "It's good that you're fine, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't know how to explain to your parents. ”
"You're here like this, you're worried about your grandfather's death. After seeing the child, the old man furrowed his brows and asked worriedly.
"Grandpa, why do you have so much blood on your body, are you okay? Seeing that the old man was covered with blood, Xiaohu asked nervously.
"Grandpa is fine, he just fought with Iron Eagle and was a little injured. The old man touched Xiaohu's head and smiled kindly.
"Why did you come here alone?"
"Grandpa, just now when you were fighting the iron eagle, a black panther suddenly came out to chase me, I ran desperately and ran into a cave, only to avoid the black panther. Xiaohu said fearfully.
"Panther, damn brute, good thing you're not hurt. No, although the Black Panther is only a second-order demonic beast, its speed is the top among second-order demonic beasts, and it is even comparable to an ordinary third-order demonic beast, how did you escape?"
"Grandpa, I was about to tell you that I found a strange stone man in the cave, and thanks to it, I escaped the panthers. ”
"Stone Man?"
"Well, grandpa, you come with me, I'll take you to see it. This stone man is so magical, the panther was about to catch up with me, I ran into the grass, and the panther chased after me, but after seeing the stone man, the panther seemed to be very scared, turned around and ran. As he spoke, Xiaohu ran into the grass.
Grandpa Xiaohu was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed.
"Grandpa, this is it, the stone man is in the stone cave behind the grass. ”
Behind the dense grass, a natural stone cave appeared in front of the grandfather and grandson.
"Strange, how can there be a cave here?" The old man was puzzled. Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, is the world where the Monsters live, the mountains are full of crises, the slightest carelessness of the warriors, will fall into it, but danger and opportunity coexist, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain grows in this large number of elixirs, extremely precious, and there are many Monsters The magic crystals, essence blood and the Monsters themselves are treasures for the warriors. Therefore, every year, a large number of warriors come to the mountains to find the elixir of heaven and earth and hunt demonic beasts. Even if many warriors died in the mountains, it still did not stop the warriors who came to the mountains to find opportunities.
Xiaohu and the old man are also villagers who live in a village outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and the old man will often come to the mountains to find elixirs and hunt spirit beasts to help Xiaohu cultivate.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Come with me and see the stone man. When the old man was puzzled, Xiaohu had already arrived at the entrance of the cave and waved his little hand to call out to the old man.
"Xiaohu, wait a minute, don't go in. The old man moved, came to Xiaohu's side, and grabbed Xiaohu, who was about to enter.
"Grandpa?" Xiaohu was taken aback by the old man.
"Xiaohu, this cave is a bit strange, grandpa has been looking for elixir in the mountains for so many years, and he has never seen this cave, it may be some powerful demonic beast cave. The old man looked suspicious.
"Grandpa, how is that possible? I just went in, and there are no magical beasts in it. Little Tiger said.
"Little Tiger, there is great danger in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, you must be careful every step, otherwise you may die at any time. The old man reprimanded.
"Oh, grandpa. Seeing the old man's serious expression, Xiaohu didn't dare to say anything. The old man didn't say anything more, he released his senses, wanting to see the cave clearly. It's just that no matter how much he controls his divine sense, he can't get close to the entrance of the cave. As soon as the divine consciousness reached the entrance of the cave, it was dispersed by some powerful force.
After a quarter of an hour, the old man's expression was a little pale, and he continued to release his spiritual power, which consumed him a lot.
"Grandpa, are you alright? Xiaohu beside him saw that the old man's face was a little pale, and asked worriedly.
"How so?" The old man didn't hear Xiaohu's words and muttered to himself.
Xiaohu looked at the old man from the side, his little face full of worry.
"Xiaohu, you follow behind Grandpa. The old man suddenly said to Xiaohu.
"Good. Xiaohu followed closely behind the old man, and the old man's spiritual power surged, wrapped him and Xiaohu, and carefully walked into the hole.
The entrance of the cave is neither wide nor long, and as soon as he enters the hole, the old man's expression changes. The aura of heaven and earth in the cave is rich, far beyond the outside of the cave.
"Is there any secret treasure?" the old man looked a little excited.
"Grandpa, look there, it's the stone man. Xiaohu suddenly pointed into the distance. The old man looked up, and it was a stone platform, which was also the center of the cave. The closer to the stone platform, the richer the aura of heaven and earth, and even within five zhang of the stone platform, the aura of heaven and earth is in a liquefied state. Even though the old man has countless experiences in his life, he is speechless in surprise at this moment.
On the stone platform, there is a human-shaped stone, the whole body of the stone is green and crystal clear. Above the stone platform, the aura of heaven and earth from the outside world continued to pour in from above the stone platform, converging, and a large amount of aura poured into the body of the stone man, and a small amount remained in the cave. Although it is a small amount, it is much richer than the aura of heaven and earth in the outside world.
"Grandpa, let's go over and have a look. Xiaohu pointed to the stone man and said excitedly.
"Xiaohu, wait a minute. The old man was about to stop Xiaohu, but Xiaohu had already run over.
The old man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly followed. Suddenly, the aura in the cave rioted, and frantically poured into the bodies of the grandfather and grandson.
"Grandpa, my body is so uncomfortable, it looks like it's going to explode. Xiaohu, who was very close to the stone platform, turned red, and was so frightened that he was about to cry. The originally thin body was also stretched out, like a balloon, and with the continuous influx of heaven and earth aura, the body continued to grow.
"Xiaohu, run the mantra that Grandpa taught you, this is a big opportunity. The old man took a deep breath and shouted to Xiaohu with an excited expression. The old man himself also sat cross-legged, running his mind, and the rich strength of heaven and earth poured into the dantian, and the aura on the old man's body gradually became stronger, and the wrinkles on his original face also faded a little.
After Xiaohu heard the old man's words, he also sat cross-legged and operated his mind. Because he was closer to the stone platform, the heaven and earth aura he absorbed was even larger, and after a while, his body returned to normal, and his aura was growing rapidly.
Time passed moment by moment, and it was late at night, and both grandfather and grandson were wholeheartedly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. No one noticed that the stone man who was lying on the stone platform suddenly stood up, broke out of the hole, and stayed in mid-air. The stone man emitted a faint blue light, and if anyone was here, he would be speechless in surprise, because the stone man was standing in the air, absorbing the starlight in the sky. The stone man was surrounded by the power of the stars, exuding a suffocating aura.
One day, two days, three days......
