Chapter 848: Cave
In the northernmost part of Jingxi, there is a continuous north-south mountain range, which stretches for more than 300 miles. The vegetation in the mountain is dense, surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, and many wild animals inhabit it. It is called "vertical cutting mountain".
The name is very earthy, but it vividly describes the appearance of this mountain range. It is indeed like a scar left by a vertical knife cut.
However, it is said that the topography of the vertical mountain is not good, and it cannot hold the beauty of Zhong Ling, so even if the mountain range is not small, it is just an ordinary mountain range and there is no sect of cultivating the world standing in it. However, many hunters in the surrounding area rely on mountains to eat mountains.
The mountains are getting bigger and time has passed. There are always some legends in Orion. For example, you can’t go to a certain area. "monsters" and so on. Or you get lost when you get close to a certain area, and you wander around in it and lose your direction, and you almost starve to death.
Some of these legends are particularly bizarre, but although some are bizarre, they are not fabricated by the hunters, but facts. Because although there is no sect of cultivating the world in the vertical cut mountain, there is a group of people in the cultivating world that everyone shouts and beats.
In the middle of the vertical mountain, there is a strange-shaped boulder beside a mountain stream surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round. It is the "man-eating stone" that some hunters have heard about. The shape is indeed a bit like a beast with its mouth wide open, and for strangers, this boulder will indeed "eat people".
Of course, the one who "eats people" is not necessarily a monster, let alone a stone, or a person.
In the eyes of ordinary people, when a person accidentally approaches a stone and then disappears inexplicably, he naturally wonders if he was "eaten" by the closest stone?
The disappearing Orion was indeed "eaten". From this point of view, the rumors about "eating stones" are not wrong. It's just that "cannibalism" is not a stone, but the "evil spirit" in the stone.
If someone with advanced cultivation comes here, if you look carefully, you will find that this strange-shaped boulder is actually just a very powerful cover-up, using the strange-shaped boulder as a cover to cover a huge underground entrance behind it.
Although I really don't like being called a "rat", the place where the monks of the evil sect settled in the Jingjiu Dynasty can only be inaccessible places or deep underground.
Shen Hao's judgments and speculations on the evil monks were almost correct. The root cause of the repeated killings was that the mountain people in these remote places provided the group of evil monks with a "seedling" foundation sufficient for their existence and development.
On the one hand, use "worshiping gods" to develop disciples for selection of backup; on the other hand, it can also solve the auxiliary materials of flesh and blood that are needed for the practice of some bloody spells. If it wasn't for this, it wouldn't be necessary to get a strange-shaped boulder, but to attract some curious people to come to die.
Publicity? What's so strange about a lot of people dying in a ravine?
Man-eating stone? There are eight hundred if not one thousand rumors of this level, who cares?
Besides, the brains of the evil monks can be understood by ordinary people?
Passing through the blinding method of the strange-shaped boulder, descending the steps of tens of feet, and then there are underground houses lit by lighting instruments, which are connected together and even have the taste of an underground village. It's just that the surroundings of the house are gloomy, and you can often see whizzing and screaming fog ghosts flashing past the light, leaving behind an unpleasant smell. Randomly discarded corpses can be seen on the ground and even in the corners, some of which have been petrified, and some still have a rotten smell.
Naturally such a place smells bad, like a decaying tomb. But there are actually living people walking around, but these people's faces are pale and almost bloodless. crazy.
There is no name for this place, and people here call it "nest", which means a place where the same kind is hatched.
The "Nest" has existed for a long time, longer than the Jing Dynasty. All the well-known figures in the evil monks have stayed here without exception. Even to a large extent, the fame of those big figures among the evil cultivators has a lot to do with the "nest".
Because "The Nest" is a place where it is easy to accumulate a team and fame. Therefore, among the evil monks who have ideas, they all hope to stay here for a period of time to accumulate some background for themselves.
Therefore, the background of the evil monks here is not small, and they are not low-level characters.
It's just that this time they encountered fundamental troubles against them for the first time in thousands of years, and the opponent's attack speed was so fast that they didn't give them time to react, and the methods were also very different from before. foundation.
It is very dangerous!
In a stone room in the middle of the "nest", there were eight people sitting, seven of whom sat on both sides, and one in the middle.
The person sitting at the top of the middle spoke, his voice was shrill and piercing, as if the tip of a knife was being scraped on a bronze mirror: "This time it's very troublesome. The newly established Black Banner Camp can be counted as a knife. It was cut on our lifeblood. Do you have any solution?"
"Hmph, number one emissary, you are right. The Black Flag Camp is willing to bend down and play soft tricks with the unruly people in the mountains, and unexpectedly flatters and kills others, directly negating our response. If it is true If you let it go like this, I'm afraid something big will happen."
"There is no way to resolve it. The big deal is to let go of the restrictions of the "Breaking Barrier Pill", give more sweetness to those troublemakers, and set off a few more "miracles" and those troublemakers won't flock to them? Don't believe those bullshit black people Qiying can really break the customs we have maintained for thousands of years."
"It's hard to say. This time is different from the past. They killed one by one, and the method was concealed, and all our follow-up responses were pushed back, and by the way, they bit us back. From the beginning to the end, the Black Flag Battalion did not Showing up in person, completely staying out of it. It's too hard to burn fire on them.
What's more, once the elders of the various clans die, the people in the clan will directly fall on those chiefs who usually don't show their mountains and rivers. These people often come into contact with the local government offices. Now it seems that they were pulled over and turned against us. So I think that even if we let go of the barrier-breaking pill to temporarily change the situation, we will still be passive in the long run, and it will be difficult to restore the previous state. "
Several people spoke one word after another, all with serious faces and worried brows.
In the end, someone said: "Actually, I think the core of the problem is not the so-called mission teams of the Black Flag Battalion in front of us, nor the series of methods they used against them, but the one who sits in the Black Flag Battalion and brought us these problems." people."
"Human? You mean the leader of the Black Flag Battalion, Shen Hao?"
