The Taowu beast died tragically.
There were only a few members of the Taowu Beast Tribe left. With my suggestion, they were able to save their lives and were divided into the three major beast tribes.
As for the corpses of the ancient beasts of the Taowu tribe that died, they were dragged and thrown into the ravine abyss.
For a moment, the Tanggu Mountains returned to silence, with only blood and pits everywhere, proving that a fight between wild beasts had once taken place here.
"Master, the corpses have been cleaned up."
The Qiongqi beast shook its big head and came to me.
Its animal eyes stared at me, filled with anticipation and excitement.
I understood what it meant. It wanted me to pass on the "Yin and Yang Spiritual Absorption" method to it as soon as possible.
I had already promised it before, and I am not the kind of person who does not keep my word. So, after a little hesitation, I passed on the method of "Yin Yang Absorbing Spirits" to the Qiongqi Beast.
The Qiongqi beast was naturally overjoyed when it learned the method of absorbing spiritual energy, and became even more obedient.
I called over the three major beast tribes’ divine beasts, the Qiongqi Beast, the Chaos Beast, and the Taotie Beast, and told them, “Let’s go, let’s go to the Beast Lake together. Didn’t they say that the central hub of the ancient beast tribe’s divine map fragments is over there?”
"Yes, Master."
The three divine beasts responded in unison.
Then they took me to the Beast Lake.
The Beast Lake is located in the center of the fragment of the ancient divine map, surrounded by dense jungle. The trees in the jungle are growing very well because they are nourished by the water of the Beast Lake. Many trees that cannot be named have grown dozens of meters high, and it feels like they are reaching the sky.
The Beast Lake is not very big, but the water inside is extremely clean and blue.
There are many fish in the water, often looking for food in the water.
Near the center of the lake, there is a small island, and on the island there is a skeleton left over from an era even more distant than the ancient times. That skeleton is the central hub of the entire ancient beast tribe divine map fragment.
The skeleton is extremely broad and hard, and the bright green light emanating from its surface can be seen from a long distance.
There were still some members of the Taowu Beast Tribe around the Beast Lake, but after learning that the three major beast tribes had already destroyed the Taowu Beast Tribe, they all surrendered obediently.
Among them, there are several beast king-level beings from the Taowu beast clan.
Standing on the edge of the Beast Lake and looking at the sparkling lake surface, my heart was really excited.
We will soon be able to subdue the fragments of the ancient beast tribe’s divine map.
This is the fourth piece. With two more pieces, I will be able to truly explore the mystery of the ancient divine map.
"Let's go, Taotie, take us there. Except for the Qiongqi Beast and the Chaos Beast, the other members of the beast tribe can just stay on the shore."
"Yes, Master."
The body of the Taotie beast became even bigger under the stimulation of spiritual energy.
Elder Ma and I stood on the beast's body and headed towards the beast tribe's central hub in the center of the lake.
“Hua La Hu La.”
The lake water split on both sides of the Taotie beast, and ripples appeared on the water surface. Those fish, either swimming alone or in groups, swam towards the Taotie beast, as if they recognized the Taotie beast. But they seemed very harmonious.
Following behind the Taotie Beast was the Chaos Beast. The Chaos Beast was stepping on the chaotic energy, which was like a cloud carrying it towards the center of the Beast Lake.
In the sky, the Qiongqi beast spread its wings, and its body blocked out some of the light coming in from the sky.
The light was still the light of the sun. Even though the fragments of the ancient beasts could be isolated from the outside world, the sunlight was never blocked.
Soon, my feet touched the back of the Taotie beast, and my body jumped off the back of the Taotie beast and landed lightly on the ground.
The ground is a little damp and the soil is very soft.
As soon as I got here, I smelled a sweet fragrance.
After walking towards the center of the island for five or six minutes, I saw a huge skeleton in front of me.
The rack appeared there.
The skeleton was standing upright, and the bones were exposed to the air. There were many flowers and plants growing next to it, but they seemed to be restrained by some force and never exceeded two feet in height.
In the center of the skeleton, there is a skull.
The skull was very large, about the size of a pot lid, and it was obviously the bone of some mythical beast. The color of the other skeletons was emerald green, but the color of the skull was golden yellow.
The eyeballs on both sides of the skull had disappeared, leaving nothing but empty space. However, when I stood in front of it, I felt like something was spying on me.
But that thing is definitely not a living thing, nor is it a soul. If it were, I would be able to sense it.
I guess it should be the breath left by this mythical beast.
An innate aura that makes people respect and admire it.
Perhaps it sensed the approach of the three divine beasts, the golden light on the skull flickered a few times.
Then, like dominoes, the other skeletons began to move in conjunction, flashing even stronger light.
An extremely powerful pressure descended.
But the pressure did not act on me, but on the Qiongqi Beast, the Taotie Beast, and the Chaos Beast.
“Puff! …”
The beasts bent their legs, and the three divine beasts all knelt on the ground.
"Youngsters, pay homage to our ancestors!"
The Taotie beasts and others made respectful sounds and kowtowed towards the huge skeleton.
Suddenly, the skull flew out from the middle of the skeleton and circled around the three beasts. But there were no other movements, and then the skull fell back to its original position.
"Master, our ancestors have agreed to your collection of the orc fragments."
The Taotie beast stood up from the ground and spoke slowly.
The Qiongqi Beast and Chaos Beast on the side also nodded.
I walked towards the skull calmly, and when I got there, my eyes were fixed on the skull's eyes.
There was a kind of soul-stirring energy in his eyes, but that energy had no destructive power. Then it slowly spread over my body.
I could sense that when the energy flowed over the cloth bag on my body, it obviously hesitated when it touched the half piece of the divine picture fragment that was pieced together from the three pieces of the divine picture fragment inside.
But soon, the energy was taken back into the skull.
I know it has recognized me.
I took two more steps forward, flipped my palm, and a silver needle appeared in my hand.
The silver needle pierced the finger and a few drops of blood dripped onto the skull.
After my blood dripped onto it, the skull trembled noticeably, and soon, the golden light emanating from it quickly spread outwards.
The light spread at an incredibly fast speed, and in less than a few minutes it filled the entire space of the ancient beast clan's divine map fragments.
At the same time, I could sense that the fragments of the ancient beast clan's divine map had established a close connection with me.
Finished!
I successfully collected the ancient beast fragments.
"Thank you, Senior!"
I bowed towards the skull, and then slowly walked out of the huge skeleton.
I waved my hands, and spiritual energy surged under my feet. My body flashed and appeared on the back of the Taotie beast: "Let's go, let's leave here first. I have collected the fragments of the ancient beast tribe."
"Yes, Master."
Afterwards, I left the Beast Lake with the Taotie Beast, the Chaos Beast and the Qiongqi Beast.
Those ancient beasts outside are waiting there.
After landing, I removed the sealing runes on the bodies of the Taotie and other three mythical beasts.
Now the fragments of the ancient beast tribe's divine map have been controlled by me. The three major beast tribes must obey me, otherwise I can use the fragments of the beast tribe's divine map to directly kill their consciousness.
"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the fragment of the beast clan's sacred map." Qiongqi Beast said happily.
I
He nodded and said, "My time is very tight, and I can't stay in the fragments of the ancient beast tribe's divine map for long. You can teach the method of absorbing spiritual energy that I taught you three divine beasts before to your own tribesmen as appropriate."
"Also, I am going to merge your beast race's divine map fragments into the half of the divine map fragments controlled by the other three ancient races."
The three divine beasts naturally had no objection.
Afterwards, I controlled the fragments of the ancient beast clan's divine map and moved my body and Elder Ma's body to the outside world.
Outside, there is still vast yellow sand.
Elder Ma and I appeared on top of a sand dune.
The sun was high in the sky, and it was scorching hot all around.
It seemed like I had been in the fragment of the beastman's divine map for a long time. But the time when those things just happened was like a dream, only more than an hour.
He took out the half piece of the divine picture fragment that had been pieced together, and at the same time activated the divine picture fragment of the ancient beast clan, using spiritual energy and the spiritual pattern method of "Tianyuan Huanxia", and soon, the divine picture fragment of the ancient beast clan was integrated into the three divine picture fragments.
The next moment, the voice of the Taotie beast came from the fragments of the divine map: "Master, the fragments of the beast clan's divine map have been integrated. I have seen members of the ancient human clan, the ancient sea clan, and the ancient ghost clan."
"Um."
I nodded and instructed the Taotie Beast: "Although you ancient beasts are different from the sea tribe, the human tribe, and the ghost tribe, you are all subordinates of the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan in ancient times, so I hope you don't have conflicts."
"Now that the four pieces of the divine diagram have been combined, you can use the divine diagram fragments to absorb the 'spirits' in the air from the outside world using the 'yin and yang absorption of spirits' method and transform them into spiritual energy. Therefore, cultivation is the first priority, and it is better not to create friction."
The Taotie Beast said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, I will convey your instructions to the other three tribes. Our Beast Tribe has a certain origin with the Ancient Human Tribe, the Ancient Sea Tribe, and the Ancient Ghost Tribe. So, Master, you can rest assured that we will only promote each other and will not have any conflicts."
That's what I want to see.
"Okay, then go and practice. I know you are feeling anxious."
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
Voices of reply came out from the incomplete fragments of the divine map.
Unexpectedly, when I was delivering the message to the Taotie beast, Tubagen, Haimingdong and Gui Wenchang were all there.
Because the Taotie beast has been with me for a long time, I let it temporarily lead all the ancient beast tribe members.
The Qiongqi Beast and the Chaos Beast were busy absorbing the "spirit" for cultivation, so they didn't care about so many things.
After doing all this, Master Ma and I quickly returned to the off-road vehicle.
The guide Doriku in the car was still sleeping, and he seemed to be sleeping very comfortably, snoring continuously.
With a chuckle, I sat in the driver's seat and asked Elder Ma to use his spiritual energy to wake up the guide Doriku.
"Ah? ... Ouch! Sorry, Mr. Yang, I fell asleep."
Doriku patted his head and said awkwardly.
He hurriedly asked, "Where are we? Are we where you want to go?"
I smiled and said, "We don't want to go anymore, we can go back now."
After hearing what I said, Doriku asked me nervously, "Mr. Yang, you don't want to go anymore? But we just got here not long ago. Was it a mirage that appeared earlier? How come it disappeared again! ... ... Um, Mr. Yang, since you don't plan to go anymore, then how about the fees you promised to give me before..."
So this is what Doriku was worried about.
I smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't worry, Doriku, fifty thousand dollars is not a small amount."
When Doriku heard what I said, he burst into laughter with a look of joy on his face.
