Chapter 439 The Mastermind Behind This Is
Chapter 439 The mastermind behind the scenes is...
In a secluded canyon in the Warcraft Mountains, there is a deep underground passage on one side of the mountain wall.
The slope of the passage is not large, and moonstones are inlaid on the walls, emitting a shining white light.
After passing through the passage, it suddenly became open, with thick stone pillars supporting the dome, and even larger, brighter and denser moonstones illuminating the underground space.
On the surrounding rock walls, there are spacious circular corridors that go up in circles, with a total of nine floors.
On the side of the corridor close to the stone wall are stone rooms with different functions. Some stone chambers are for people to live in, while others are reinforced with special materials and used for training and fighting skills.
In the center of this underground space is a huge square where people can compete.
On the highest corridor, Wumeng and Xiao Zhan stood side by side.
Looking at the young people of the Xiao family who were undergoing actual combat training in the square, Wumeng asked casually: "Are you used to living here these days? What do you think of this new tribe?"
Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment and said: "Ancestor, this underground space is certainly very nice, but it always feels depressing after not seeing sunlight for a long time.
"We adults are fine, but I'm worried that the children will get sick if they stay in such an environment for a long time."
Wumeng responded with a smile: "Now I just want you to adapt to the living environment. Although this place is relatively inside the Warcraft Mountains, the surroundings are not actually dangerous.
"The sixth-level monster that rules here has reached an agreement with me. It will also live in and help take care of the clan... I will take you to get to know it later.
"With its existence, you can explore the surrounding area, and the children can also play in the valley outside... But this is the Warcraft Mountains after all, so you have to pay attention to safety and send someone to look after it."
"Sixth level monster?" Xiao Zhan took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
A sixth-level magical beast is equivalent to a powerful human fighting emperor. According to Xiao Yuanshan’s ancestor, it seems that he has found a sixth-level magical beast to guard the clan’s land?
If this is the case, then he is safe in this Warcraft Mountain Range. No other monster would dare to approach the residence of a sixth-level monster, and the tribesmen could safely move around in areas that were not too far away.
Wumeng smiled and said: "Come with me. Although it is only a sixth-level monster, it is still quite strong for you. I will not stay in the clan for too long, so you should go there in person. More sincere.”
"It's just a sixth-level monster." Such an adjective made Xiao Zhan feel shocked when he heard it.
I really don’t know what kind of state the ancestor Xiao Yuanshan is... It’s a pity that we descendants are unworthy. Let alone the sixth-level magic beast, I am afraid that even a fourth-level magic beast can cause heavy losses to the current Xiao family... He sighed silently With.
Wumeng led Xiao Zhan down the steps step by step, to the lowest level of the circular corridor, passed through the central square, walked through the long and narrow upward diagonal passage, and came to the ground.
"Clan leader, ancestor." The two Xiao family members guarding the entrance of the passage greeted them.
After the two nodded, they walked deeper into the canyon.
After walking for a long time, they came to a hillside. Next to a huge rock on the hillside, there were two lions with sharp horns on their heads, purple crystals on their bodies, and flames on their four hooves.
There are two lions, one big and one small. The big one is nearly twenty meters long, and the spiral horn on its head is cut off by something unknown.
There is a white circle on the right eye of both monsters.
Wumeng introduced to Xiao Zhan: "This is the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the sixth-level monster that I reached an agreement with."
He looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King again: "Lion King, this is Xiao Zhan, the leader of the Xiao clan. I will not stay in the clan for a long time. He will communicate with you about anything in the future."
Looking at the huge Amethyst Winged Lion King exuding Ling Ran's power, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After calming down, he stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"I've seen the Lion King."
"Hello, Chief Xiao." The Amethyst Winged Lion King changed his lying posture and stood up.
It looked at Wumeng and confirmed to him: "Senior, according to the agreement, I will guard the clan land for your Xiao clan for ten years. You give me two transformation pills. Isn't that right?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King has been parasitically controlled by Amon. Its problems are told to Xiao Zhan, so that he can have peace of mind.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan took a breath of cold air.
Even a layman like him had heard of the Transformation Pill, a famous pill. It was a seventh-grade pill. Even if he sold the entire Xiao family, he wouldn't be able to get even one.
Wumeng nodded: "Well, not only inside the cave, but also in the valley outside, you need to pay attention to the safety and not let too powerful monsters approach.
"The Xiao clan has already arranged the arrangements. If the Lion King has nothing else to do, he can come over."
"Okay." The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded its huge head.
The two men and two beasts walked towards the Xiao family.
After returning to the clan, the two people guarding the entrance to the passage looked at the huge amethyst winged lion king, feeling very nervous.
One person asked with some fear: "Clan leader, this... what is this?"
"You should go back to the clan first and gather all the clan members. The clan leader has something to announce." Wumeng ordered.
"Yes." The two hurriedly ran inside.
Arriving at the empty underground square, they waited for a while. After everyone from the Xiao family arrived, Xiao Zhan began to introduce the Amethyst Winged Lion King to them:
"This is the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was invited by our ancestors to protect my Xiao family. It will live with us. When you see the lion king, don't be afraid. It will not hurt the people of my Xiao family, but you need to keep it safe." Be respectful and don’t be rude.”
As Xiao Yuanshan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, Wumeng did not appear many times in the general affairs of the Xiao family, and usually communicated through Xiao Zhan.
One is to maintain a sense of mystery, and the other is to strengthen Xiao Zhan's authority.
In some matters, letting Xiao Zhan participate with his own will can confuse the public and make others think that this is the Xiao clan's plan and Xiao Zhan's plan!
Moreover, Amon will slowly cultivate Xiao Zhan's thinking mode, instill some of his ideas into Xiao Zhan, and then gradually delegate power, allowing Xiao Zhan to think and make decisions on his own.
Amon only provided small guidance during Xiao Zhan's decision-making process.
Xiao Zhan himself felt that he was the one who made many plans!
In this way, when some conspiracies are exposed in front of other ancient races in the future, they will find that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually the declined and inconspicuous patriarch of the Xiao clan!
