Chapter 399 Encounter with Shenshan

Outside Trout Village, the black wolf walked out from among hundreds of guards. He looked at the warrior leader opposite and asked in surprise.

"God bless you! Huitu Puap, it turns out it's you! Why are you here?!"

Huitu Puap looked at the sudden appearance of General Black Wolf with a surprised expression. He was exiled to the southernmost boundary of the kingdom. Not only did he have to guard the only entrance to the sea for the kingdom, he also had to set up camps, build houses, and store some wood and food. These tasks cannot be completed by one person. Therefore, your majesty gave him three hundred newly surrendered southern warriors to suppress the Tekos people on both sides of the river mouth, collect tribute from the villages, and recruit local men.

"God bless you! Your Majesty asked me to guard the mouth of the Tarsus River. I have just arrived."

Huitu Puap answered cautiously with a smile on his face. Speaking of which, he and the old militiaman had snatched the chief's head from the black wolf, and now that they were living here, they couldn't afford to offend him.

"Dear Commander of the Black Wolf Army, why did you come from the west? Chief Chimali is at war with the kingdom, and I am on guard here day and night. I heard that a large army was coming, and I thought the Tekos Alliance was sending troops to conquer."

"Haha! Chimali is finished! I came from the west for seven hundred miles, burned the Hand Snake City on fire, and confiscated the food along the way. His army has no food, and will collapse soon!"

Black Wolf laughed and spoke freely.

"Ah! Burnt Hand Snake City? Detoured seven hundred miles? He is indeed an unparalleled Black Wolf General!"

Huitu turned pale in shock. This kind of bold strategy can only be accomplished by Black Wolf.

Hearing this, Hei Lang was confident and proud. Then, his eyes sparkled, and he was filled with fighting spirit.

"Huitu, where is your Qincongcan camp? I have three thousand warriors, plus your two thousand warriors. It is not impossible to defeat Haenyeo City in the southeast!"

"Ah! I, I don't care about Qin Cong Canying now."

Huitu looked a little embarrassed and answered in a low voice.

"Gulamo assassinated His Majesty. I had received benefits from him before, but I couldn't catch him to apologize."

"Um?!"

Hei Lang's face was filled with anger, he pulled out the bronze sword with a "dang" sound, and quickly placed it on Huitu's neck.

"I have heard about the assassination of His Highness by the Zicao family. I didn't expect you to be involved in it!"

"Oh no, no, no"

Huitu's face suddenly turned pale, he screamed in frustration and did not dare to move. He managed to save his life from His Majesty. If he was chopped down by a black wolf here, he would die unjustly.

"Dear Commander of the Black Wolf Army, I did not participate! I am loyal to His Majesty, and Your Majesty is my only king! As witnessed by the Lord God, I burned down the Zicao family's manor with my own hands!"

"I'm sorry you don't have the guts!"

Black Wolf glared angrily and stared at Huitu for a moment before lowering his bronze sword.

"I have mobilized your army. How many men and ships do you have now?"

".Three hundred warriors, seventy canoes."

Huitu pursed his lips and lowered his head to answer.

"This is too little!"

Black Wolf frowned. It would be a bit risky for more than 3,000 people to attack Haenyeo Castle. The main reason was that the opponent's information was unknown, his strength was unknown, and he was not familiar with the terrain. He thought for a moment and sighed.

"That's all, let them go first."

"Commander of the Black Wolf Army, are you ready to return to the kingdom?"

"Yes. But before returning to the kingdom, I have to do one more thing."

A smile appeared on Black Wolf's lips.

"Go to the nearby sacred mountain and carve a monument to record your achievements!"

"The sacred mountain west of Trout Village?"

Huitu was a little surprised. He heard his southern warriors mention it.

"I heard that there is a terrible mountain god there who can control thunder and lightning. Whenever the dry season comes, the mountain god will fall into a deep sleep after receiving blood sacrifices. And whenever the rainy season comes, the mountain god wakes up, and thunder and lightning will continue to fall. Hit the sacred mountain! And once the mountain god is angry, he will throw thunder and lightning to destroy the offending person."

"Um?"

Black Wolf was slightly startled and looked at the personal guard Mavik beside him. Mavik never said anything about this.

Mavik felt a chill in his heart, and piety appeared on his face.

"The main god is supreme and has infinite power! Boss, the mountain god here is just an unknown evil god! For the glory of the main god, we must destroy the priest of the evil god and cut off his blood sacrifice!"

Black Wolf pondered slightly and nodded affirmatively.

"Mavik, you are right! Let us go and take a look!"

Then, he glanced at Huitu.

"Huitu, are you going with us?"

".go!"

The three chatted for a while, then took two hundred canine warriors and headed straight for the sacred mountain. Village Ma Huo's face fell, he looked at the people leaving and murmured.

"This priest said that if you offend the sacred mountain and the altar, the mountain god will be angry. It is a good thing that you are dead, but don't harm the village."

The group of people were all warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. They walked very fast. It didn't take long to travel ten miles and reach the sacred mountain close to the mountain range.

Black Wolf narrowed his eyes and looked up the mountain. Although it is said to be a sacred mountain, it is actually just a hill with a height of more than 100 meters, which is incomparable with the peaks further north.

On the top of the sacred mountain, there is a black stone altar, surrounded by many traces of lightning strikes. Most of the mountain is normal soil, with occasional reddish-brown streaked stones that flash in the sun. From the middle of the mountain down, the vegetation gradually becomes sparse, mixed with dead trees struck by lightning. Some exposed rocks begin to show a gray-black luster, with some dark indigo. When it is close to the ground, the black-blue rocks are covered with soil again, but the plants are still scarce.

"Is this the sacred mountain?"

The black wolf looked for a while and was a little disappointed. Such a short mountain seemed unworthy of his monument. Then, he looked around and saw that near the foot of the mountain, in a place with sparse trees, several short wooden houses were being built.

"Boss, that's where the priests of the sacred mountain live!"

Mawek whispered, with some inexplicable fear in his reminiscence.

The black wolf looked at his appearance, raised his eyebrows, and shouted loudly.

"Let's go and meet the priest of the mountain god!"

Everyone drew their weapons and approached the cabin cautiously. The door of the cabin suddenly opened, and three priests and several strong mountain guards walked out. The old priest in the lead was wearing a strange black and blue sacrificial garment, with lightning painted on the back and a vague god with two faces painted on the front.

The most peculiar thing was that from his arms to his hands, many indigo stones were hung with short ropes, flashing metallic light in the sun. These stones seemed to have life, sensing each other, and constantly trembling slightly.

"Where are you from? How dare you offend the sacred mountain!"

The old priest in the lead straightened his chest and waved his arms suddenly in a strange and mysterious posture. All the stones seemed to have heard the command, suddenly began to rotate, and then "snapped" together! The fitting stones gathered into two dark blue stone balls under his two arms.

"Noble mountain god, please grant me divine power."

The old priest looked dignified, chanting strange prayers that made people feel awe. Then, he slowly lifted up the two gathered stone balls, made some mysterious movements, and then suddenly rubbed them hard! The two stone balls unexpectedly came together again.

"Mountain god's gaze!"

Finally, he shouted loudly and let go of his hands, but the gathered stone balls did not separate, as if the eyes of a god were ruthlessly staring at everyone present!
