Shao Xuan remembers that the various animals living in this mountain are not very powerful. Because of the existence of the king beast, other powerful beasts are not allowed to live in this mountain, and those animals with low strength are not very important to the king beast. Said, it's just a dusty little minion, it won't pose any threat to them, you can ignore it.
Just like a lion can ignore an ant, but not a wolf that enters its territory.
The Yanjiao tribe lived here for nearly a thousand years. Generations of hunting teams passed from here to the hunting ground on the other side of the mountain. When they were in the cave, they rarely encountered troubles that could not be solved. There were only some new young people. When soldiers join, they may be regarded as targets by those living in the cave, which Shao Xuan encountered in those days.
There are some creatures in the cave. Although Shao Xuan hasn't been here for a long time, he knows what he has in mind, but now, after entering the cave, he clearly feels a lot of strange auras that should not have appeared here.
"It's really different."
Shao Xuan remembered that on the road through this mountain, he didn't need Mai to lead the way, he could also walk by the route he remembered.
On the way, I encountered several attacks by some beasts ambushing in the dark. These Shao Xuan can solve it, it is not that kind of tricky, otherwise Mai would not have been able to say it.
The stronger beasts in the forest should know that there used to be a stone worm king worm, so they stay away from here, even if the stone worm king worm is suspected to be gone, but in the short term, they will still avoid this. Dangerous place. The higher the level of beasts, the sharper the perception. Even if there are no stone worms in the mountains, the breath left behind for a long time will still have a deterrent effect on them.
The tip of the sword pierced through a six-legged worm that attacked them and stabbed into the cave wall, leaving a depression in it.
And not far from this depression, there are traces of other sharp weapons. Those were left by Mai and his hunting team, and they have not disappeared yet.
Walking in the cave, Shao Xuan let go of his sense of perception and went to check whether the stone worm king worm really left here.
Shao Xuan can perceive the fire aura on people within a certain range. Even people who do not have the power of fire will carry some on them, but they are not so strong. When sailing downstream along the Yan River before, Shao Xuan was able to sense the fire seeds of some tribes around the river bank, which also came from the same ability.
The perception based on the power of inheritance, compared to the power of totems that strengthen the body, the power of inheritance is more like the ability based on spiritual consciousness. The stronger the power of inheritance, the stronger the perception of consciousness. The fire in the distance is also due to the improvement of the power of inheritance in his body.
In fact, Shao Xuan was able to perceive the leader bat and its location when he was in the Thousand Grains of Gold, because of this ability. I could also sense it when I was digging the fire crystal, but it felt too vague at that time, but when I sensed the leader bat that night, it was clearer. It's just that the leader bat hides itself too well. If it were replaced by other beasts of the same level, Ao and the others should be able to perceive such a distance. It's just that Ao's inheritance power is compared to the totem power. It is not too strong, so it is far inferior to Shao Xuan in perception.
One thing Shao Xuan didn't tell Ao and the others was that when he sensed the leader bat, in the sea of consciousness, he "saw" a spot of light similar to fire, and that bright spot was the leader bat.
How can a fierce beast have the power of a suspected fire
What surprised Shao Xuan the most was that the power of the suspected fire on the leader bat was a little bit similar to the fire power of the flaming horn. He could feel the difference between the two, but the surprise was obvious. If it is said that the power of fire on the leader bat is 100%, then the point similar to the flame horn only occupies 10%, and among the remaining 90%, there is another 10% with Shao Xuan himself. One kind of power is similar, and the remaining 80% are completely different from the flame horn fire.
In Shao Xuan's sea of consciousness, there is not only the totem flame of Yanjiao, but also the mask that covers the totem flame, and the power of the leader bat is similar to that of the mask.
Perhaps, because of this, the leader bat didn't attack the Yanjiao man back then, not that he regarded the Yanjiao man as his companion. Shao Xuan believed even more that the leader bat regarded the Yanjiao man as his own. 's younger brother.
But it was the little similarity that made Shao Xuan very puzzled. The only thing that can connect the leader bat with the flaming horn is that the leader bat has absorbed the power of Huojing when it has not been led out from all the candidate leader bats.
And those fire crystals were "burned" by Shao Xuan with his own power.
What is the real reason, Shao Xuan doesn't know, and now is not the time to think about it. He just uses the power of perceiving the fire and the leader bat to perceive the stone worm king worm that has been unknown for many years under this mountain. .
Back then, he had been in close contact with the stone worm king worm, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, but if he felt the stone worm king worm again, he would definitely recognize it. The feeling of being almost petrified back then and every drop of sweat turning into stone is still very clear when Shao Xuan recalls it now.
Ao and the others, who were walking behind Shao Xuan, saw that Shao Xuan slowed down and did not urge, but guarded the surroundings.
It would be great if Shao Xuan could tie a rope and find out the reason. Ao thought to himself.
Shao Xuan was exploring the surroundings. Because he was surrounded by rocks, he was not able to perceive fire from other tribes when he was traveling. He was more restricted and his perception range was greatly reduced, but according to the rock in Shao Xuan's memory Even if the range of his perception is reduced, as long as the stone worm is still there, it stands to reason that he can detect it.
However…
No.
still none!
Shao Xuan continued to walk forward, but the power of perception did not take back.
Until he walked out of the cave and came to the other side of the mountain, he still failed to detect the stone worm king worm.
"The stone worm king worm is indeed no longer here." Shao Xuan said.
This is not good news for Yanjiao people.
They don't care about the changes in the territories of other beasts, but the changes of the king beasts are different. Generally speaking, the king beast will not easily change the position of its own territory, just like when the salt beast is on the other side of the sea, guarding its own salt field, even if it is disturbed, it has no intention of leaving.
Here, the stone worm king worm, which has not moved anywhere for thousands of years, has already left its lair.
In fact, the site of the stone worm king worm is not small. The salt beast's territory is horizontal and tends to be flat, while the stone worm king worm is vertical. , but the mountain peaks into the clouds, and there are very few birds that can cross from above, not to mention the large underground area, which is no smaller than the salt field.
For such a site, it is really incomprehensible to give up.
Shao Xuan went to the cave where he had come out with his ancestors on his back. He walked into the cave for a while without going too deep. There were also some beasts that were not close to this place in the past, and even the bones of some small beasts were rarely seen. , For this mountain that seems to be able to swallow anything, bones and the like are simply difficult to stay for a long time. But now, the leftovers of these predators are thrown here, and I don't know how long it has passed.
"The stone worm king worm has indeed disappeared for a long time." Shao Xuan said to Ao and the others, "Perhaps he left during the catastrophe last year."
If the stone worm king worm goes to other places, such as a place deeper in the mountains and forests, it will have no effect on the Yanjiao tribe, but if it does, will it run to the Yanjiao side
The movement of the leader bat was too sudden, and everyone couldn't feel at ease if he didn't make it clear. As for the king beast, if there is no other movement, everyone thinks that it has gone deeper into the mountains and forests for a new nest. With its level, change the place, as long as it does not encounter other king beasts, other fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, only Make way for it.
"What do I do next?" Ao Yi thought of the leader bat slipping around the Yanjiao tribe every day. He felt like he was pressing a huge boulder in his heart. land.
"As long as the people of Yanjiao don't take the initiative to attack, the leader bat will not attack the people of Yanjiao for the time being." After all, there are so many similarities in the fire. People started, but during this time, I didn't hear anyone disappearing for no reason.
"Also tell the tourists in the tribe not to run around, the leader bat may not shoot at our flaming horns, but the tourists are not sure." Shao Xuandao.
Although he didn't understand the basis for Shao Xuan's statement, Ao nodded in agreement. He also felt that the leader bat would not attack the Yanjiao people for the time being. After all, he had the opportunity to kill the Yanjiao people several times in the past, but the leader bat had never done so.
"But it's not the way to go on like this." Even if the leader bat didn't make a move, with such a danger around, no one could sleep peacefully.
Shao Xuan thought for a while and said, "You guys are waiting for Mai and the others now, and I'll go to Bat Mountain to take a look."
"Also." Ao led the two of them to find a place to rest first, and waited for Mai and the others behind.
Shao Xuan asked Chacha to take him to Bat Mountain. Before, he only turned around around Bat Mountain, but this time, Shao Xuan planned to go out along Bat Mountain. There are several guesses about the change of the leader bat. One of them is that it may be affected by the change of the stone worm king. After all, at its level, it will not be easily affected by other beasts.
To rule out this reason, Shao Xuan had to look around Bat Mountain. Is there any other abnormal phenomenon that forced the leader bat to abandon Bat Mountain and run elsewhere
Not to mention that the leader bat likes the place in the Yanjiao headquarters. If this is the case, it should have passed last year, so why wait until now? Thousand Grains of Gold is too far away from here, and it is immature. It is unlikely that it will be attracted because of this.
Shao Xuan sat on the back of the eagle and looked at the forest below.
The flight height of Chacha is controlled at a position that is neither high nor low, so that it can not only see the scenery below, but also avoid possible threats from ancient trees and trees. dragged down.
The vicinity of Bat Mountain is not on the hunting route of the hunting team led by Mai, and Shao Xuan has not walked here, and the scenery in many places is very unfamiliar.
Chacha's flight trajectory is to fly in circles from the Bat Mountain side.
In the mountains and forests, the temperature difference between different places is large. Sometimes, the temperature on one side of the mountain is as cold as autumn, and the other side is humid and hot as summer. But in general, at this season, the mountains and forests are still mostly green.
The verdant old trees are the main color in the mountains and forests, and the only ones who can fight against them are those high mountains.
Up the mountainside, the green has been drastically reduced, from green, to ash-grey rocks, to the snow-covered peaks.
The blue-grey rocks of the cliffs divide the green swaths of view under the blue sky.
Shao Xuan was already used to such color changes, but as he gradually flew out, Shao Xuan discovered a special place.
There, there is a low mountain.
In an ordinary low mountain, even if there are no big trees, there is always some grass, but there, there are only gray-white rocks.
As he flew closer and closer, Shao Xuan could see it more clearly. The grayish-white low mountain appeared very abrupt among the large tracts of ancient trees.
"Go down and have a look."
After Shao Xuan flew low, he jumped down and landed not far from the low mountain.
ka ka ka-
Shao Xuan stepped on the grass, and the sound was obviously not the sound of soft grass.
Looking at the foot, the green grass has turned gray and is still very hard.
Some of the surrounding trees have also turned the color of rocks.
The closer you got to the low mountain, the more obvious the change. On the edge of the low mountain, there are also many tree trunk-like stones.
Those used to be trees, but the top half was broken off, leaving only the trunk of the bottom half, and even the texture of the bark on the top was very clear.
Petrochemical!
Others may not know about such a change, but Shao Xuan already has guesses.
To be able to do this, among the people and beasts that Shao Xuan has ever seen, there is only the Stone Insect King Insect!
It is not in its own nest, what is it doing here
When Shao Xuan walked up the low mountain, he could sense that the stone worm king worm was not nearby, so he did not worry about being petrified when he walked up the low mountain.
There is no grass or tree growing on the low mountain, and the stone is relatively new. The time that the stone worm king appeared here is not far away.
Continue to walk up the low mountain, at the top of the low mountain, there is a round hole about two meters wide. Shao Xuan squatted at the entrance of the cave, looked down, didn't know how deep it was, according to the curvature of the inside of the round hole, the stone worm king worm should have emerged from the ground, but it didn't come out completely, it just took a head, and then Back underground again.
On the other hand, because of the movement of the stone worm king worm, the ground uplifted to form such a dwarf mountain full of stones. Even the trees, flowers and plants that were close by were petrified, and the hole on the dwarf mountain retreated to the ground with the stone worm king worm. , the hole narrows, and it cannot continue to shrink until it is completely hardened, and it becomes the current width.
People in Yanjiao thought that the size of the stone worm king worm should be similar to the tunnel in that mountain, but Shao Xuan felt that the stone worm king worm should be larger than the original tunnel, just like the one in this low mountain. Like the entrance of the cave, these will shrink to varying degrees as the stone worm king worm leaves.
However, these are all speculations by Shao Xuan himself, and he has never seen the appearance of the stone worm king worm with his own eyes.
Standing on the low mountain, Shao Xuan looked at the location of Bat Mountain, which was not too close, otherwise Shao Xuan and the others would have found this place when they approached Bat Mountain. But it's not too far. Maybe the leader bat can perceive such a distance.
Could it be because of the Stone Insect King Insect that forced the leader bat to leave the Bat Mountain and run towards the Yanjiao? After all, in the eyes of the leader bat, the Flaming Horned Man may be regarded as its little brother.
Unsure, Shao Xuan asked Chacha to fly him into the air, and continued to look outside to see if there were such low mountains in other places, especially the direction to the Yanjiao tribe. If it was found in the direction to the Yanjiao tribe, then, The Flaming Horns will usher in a huge trouble that will give them even more headaches.
No one wants to face a king beast. Even if the stone worm king worm is in the hearts of the flaming horns, one is relatively peaceful and not aggressive, otherwise there will be no hunting route, and as soon as it walks, it will be close. For thousands of years, the stone worm king worm has never attacked them.
But no one can tell what will happen after meeting a king beast.
Fortunately, after Shao Xuan searched in the direction of the tribe, he did not find such a low mountain again. Even so, you can't be completely relieved.
"Where did it go?"
Shao Xuan returned to Ao Shan, and Ao and the others came here after being told by Shao Xuan.
"It's better, I'll go down and have a look." Shao Xuan said.
Since it is the place where the stone worm king worm walks, there will always be a tunnel underground. Along this tunnel, you can know the movement of the stone worm king worm.
