Chapter 17: Bad News from the Ancestral Mountain

Li Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, he was still worried about the battle with the Stone Dragon King, but he didn't expect that there would be a dragon horn that had fallen off, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"This matter was originally a secret of the clan, except for the high-level leaders of the alliances, even many patriarchs did not know about it, I hope this information will be useful to Junior Brother Li. ”

Yue Zhanhong said.

"Thank you Yue Alliance Master, there is still a question, I don't know if the two of you know how to leave the dragon's nest?"

Li Mo said gratefully.

"I didn't know this, I just knew that the world of our dragon's nest was formed because of the magic circle set up by the second ancestor back then, but how to figure it out I am afraid that I will not know until Tianling Mountain. ”

Yue Zhanhong shook his head and said.

"Since this is the case, the juniors have left, and it should be no problem for the two of you to go back to Sunrise City, right?"

Li Mo said.

"They should have an antidote on them, so you should leave when you are pressed for time. ”

Yue Zhanhong nodded.

"Then the junior will go first. ”

Li Mo arched his hand.

The stone dragon had already received his orders, and once the dragon spirit stone returned to the lair, it would pass it on to Shayi, so there was no need to worry about the affairs of the Sangchi tribe anymore.

He casually flicked his hand in the mirror and summoned Xiao Hei out.

But seeing a thousand-foot-long dragon suddenly appear, Yue Zhanhong and the others were suddenly startled.

After Li Mo flew away, the two came back to their senses and looked at each other, their eyes full of amazement.

"That pitch-black dragon is the dark dragon in the record? I didn't expect that Little Brother Li was so young that he actually had the ability to train dragons. ”

Yue Zhanhong shrugged lightly.

"Yes, there is such a genius martial artist among the human race, fortunately it is on our side. ”

Yue Helang also nodded, he didn't want to face such an enemy.

Then, he was worried, "But it's not so easy to get the Dragon King's Horn, the masters of Tianling Mountain are like clouds, and there are not only people from our White Dragon Clan, but also the Black Dragon Clan." The people of the Black Dragon Clan are extremely xenophobic, if they know the identity of Little Brother Li, they must be eliminated quickly, and they don't care about him for any reason. ”

"I only hope that Little Brother Li is a natural person, and you and I are no longer suitable to meddle in this matter. And there are other things we have to worry about. ”

Yue Zhanhong said, his eyes falling on the corpses of Bai Mang and the others.

"Yes, the antidote. ”

Yue Helang immediately flew over, turned out a bottle on Wu Ye's body, opened it and smelled it, and said happily: "Found it." ”

"Okay, but I'm not just talking about this one, it's them. ”

Yue Zhanhong nodded.

Yue Helang thought for a moment and speculated, "Does the alliance leader mean that they are not from the Black Dragon Clan?"

"No, these two are very arrogant, and there should be no falsehood in this regard. It's just that no one from the Black Dragon Clan has ever dared to enter the White Dragon Clan to steal the Dragon Essence Stone. ”

Yue Zhanhong said solemnly.

Yue Helang suddenly understood, and said, "Could it be that the two of them are not the only ones who infiltrated our clan?"

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome, maybe the Black Dragon Clan is doing something, but it's a pity that the two of them are dead, and there is no way to ask more about it. ”

Yue Zhanhong said worriedly.

"Then when we get back and arrange things, we will rush to the other tribes and tell them. ”

Yue Helang said.

On the other side, Li Mo rode Xiao Hei all the way east, and it was already half a month in a flash.

He had passed through the territory of the two Alliance Tribes, and it was only a few days' journey from Tianling Mountain, and he only had to climb the mountain range in front of him to reach it.

At sunset, a pool of water appears at the foot of the mountain.

Li Mo stopped and let the black-scaled horse drink some water and rest.

There is Xiao Hei to walk at night, and the speed is needless to say, but he must not be able to ride Xiao Hei during the day, so he bought this black-scaled horse as early as Sunset City, although the speed is not as slow as Xiao Hei.

Then a distant voice was heard, and a caravan was seen approaching from another avenue, and in a short time it was also at the pool.

Five or six carriages were full of goods, and more than a dozen men on horseback were guarding them on the left and right.

"Come down and rest. ”

A bearded man in the front carriage shouted.

And they all dismounted, and some rested on the spot, while others brought their horses to drink.

"Little brother also went to the Ancestral City?"

The bearded man walked over and asked as he washed his face.

"Exactly, the eldest brother is in business?"

Li Mo nodded.

"I'm not doing business, I'm just transporting supplies to our tribe's station. The things in the ancestral city are very expensive, and all kinds of materials have doubled, and it is cheaper to transport them from the tribe. ”

The bearded man laughed.

After that, he introduced himself, "My name is Ma Renyi, and I am from the Lead Mountain tribe. I think the little brother is a talented person with an extraordinary temperament, which big tribe should he be, right?"

Li Mo smiled and said: "Brother Ma has won the award, and under Li Mo, he is just a person from a small tribe in the north." ”

"It turned out to be a member of the Yuquan Tribal Alliance, and I don't know what the little brother was doing when he went to the ancestral city?"

Ma Renyi asked.

"The younger brother is just walking around, going to the ancestral city, I want to go to the ancestral mausoleum to pay respects. Li Mo said.

"Now is not the time to go to the ancestral tomb to pay respects. Only at the end of the year can the patriarchs of each tribe lead their children to the ancestral tomb. On weekdays, there are three levels and six cards, not to mention ordinary people, even the patriarch can't go. ”

Ma Renyi waved his hand.

"So there is still this rule......

Li Mo's face was abrupt, and he said again, "Listening to Brother Ma's tone, I know a lot about the affairs of the ancestral city." ”

Ma Renyi smiled rudely and said: "My father has been in the ancestral city for ten years as a tribal representative, I grew up in the ancestral city since I was a child, and later stationed in the ancestral city for five years as a representative, so there is nothing I don't know about the ancestral city." ”

When the words fell, he took the initiative to say: "Just take you to say about worshiping the ancestral tomb, the place where the ancestral tomb is located is called the ancestral mountain." The ancestral mountain is divided into three mountains inside and outside, the innermost is called Shuangzu Mountain, where our ancestors are buried Dragon Ancestor and Human Ancestor, called Shuangzu Tomb; the middle one is called Basheng Mountain, where the eight children of the ancestors are buried, called the Eight Holy Tombs; the outermost one is called the old mountain, whether it is our white dragon tribe or the black dragon tribe, as long as the identity reaches the status of the clan elder, you can choose to be buried there. ”

"Listening to Brother Ma say this, I really gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Li Mo nodded and asked again, "I heard that there is a place called the Temple in the Ancestral Tomb, but I don't know where it is?"

"Temple, I'm afraid the little brother misheard, if there is such a place, I am sure I know. ”

Ma Renyi waved his hand.

"Even if I misheard. ”

Li Mo said along with him, and at the same time secretly said that what Yue Zhanhong said was indeed right, this matter is not known by ordinary people, so there is a chance that the matter of Shilongjiao is true.

And this place is in the ancestral mausoleum, and it must be in the ancestral mountain.

He asked again: "I heard Brother Ma just now say that there are three levels and six checkpoints when I go there on weekdays, I don't know what the checkpoints are?"

Ma Renyi laughed again: "Little brother, you really asked the right person, if you ask others, you will guarantee that you don't know, but I know everything about it." This ancestral mausoleum is the resting place of our ancestors and the elders of the clan, and at the same time, I heard that there are also heavy treasures buried in it, and of course, it is also strictly guarded against thieves from sneaking in. ”

Li Mo nodded and listened to him continue.

But listening to Ma Renyi said: "Our White Dragon Tribe and Black Dragon Tribe will select outstanding children to enter the ancestral city every three years, known as the 'Dragon Attendants', and the Dragon Attendants practice the exercises handed down by their ancestors and have strong combat power. And the clan elders born among these people are even stronger than the clan elders of the two tribe alliances, and these clan elders live on the side of the clan elder mountain. ”

In other words, if a thief wants to break in, he must first pass the clan elder. ”

Li Mo understood.

Ma Renyi nodded and said: "That's right, as for the Eight Holy Mountain, not to mention, presumably the little brother also knows the name of the Eight Holy Saints." ”

"Of course. ”

Li Mo bowed.

The so-called Eight Sages refer to the strong ones who inherited the holy names of the eight children of the Twin Ancestors, and it is said that they have inherited their purest bloodline, which can be said to be the descendants of the dragon orcs, and each line is only passed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is the highest status in the entire Dragon Nest world.

Ma Renyi said again: "Speaking of Shuangzu Mountain, there is a stronger existence there, that is, the Stone Dragon King!"

This answer was not surprising, Li Mo's expression seemed very calm.

originally knew that the land of this ancestral city must be as good as a cloud, but even if it was a dangerous place, he had to break through.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the direction of Tianling Mountain, and then several people galloped on fast horses, looking hurried.

"Isn't this Brother Yan, where are you going to rush in such a hurry?"

Ma Renyi recognized the person and greeted him loudly.

The big man in the front row reined in the horses and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ma doesn't know yet, something big has happened in the ancestral city." ”

"What's the big deal?"

Ma Renyi immediately asked.

"His Majesty the Water Sanctuary passed away this morning. ”

Dahan replied with a sad face.

"What?"

Ma Renyi was taken aback.

"I'm going to rush back to the tribe now to inform the patriarch of the news, and we'll talk soon. ”

Dahan arched his hand and rushed away with a few people.

"His Royal Highness the Water Saint has passed away, this is really unexpected and shocking, he has only been on the throne for three hundred years. ”

Ma Renyi was grief-stricken, and immediately instructed several people, "You go back to the tribe immediately and inform the patriarch of this news." ”

"Three hundred years......"

Li Mo frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, if you have cultivated to the realm of the Eight Sages, you are all strong people in the Divine Power Realm, and it will not be a problem to live for thousands of years. ”

Ma Renyi sighed, and then said, "However, the cultivation of the Eight Saints is the strongest peerless learning, and there have been eight saints in history who died suddenly because of their cultivation, but this news came suddenly, which makes people accept it." ”

Li Mo squinted slightly, the theft of the dragon essence stone by Bai Mang and the others just happened, and then the death of the Eight Saints happened.

Although the two things are not necessarily related, he has a gut feeling that this ancestral city does not seem to be a peaceful place.

However, it is in one's best interest.

If such a major event occurs, the ancestral city must prepare for a funeral and a grand burial, which may be able to reduce the danger of searching for the stone dragon horn.

"Little brother, since this is a big incident, I think we should rush overnight. ”

Ma Renyi said.

"Good. ”

Li Mo nodded, he had never thought of staying here in the first place.
