"There really is a trace of energy there, but why do I feel somewhat familiar? And yet very strange?" Han Tian frowned and whispered to himself.
"You have the same feeling?" Wu Tian asked in surprise.
"Do you have it too?" It was not Han Tian who was answering, but Tian Gang who was speaking.
Wutan and Han Tian were slightly stunned, and their eyes all turned to Tiangang. The latter nodded, admitting that he also had that contradictory feeling.
The next moment, the three of them looked at Long Hu, but Long Hu looked confused and shook his head, saying, "This aura is very unfamiliar."
Wu Tian and the other two suddenly found it unbelievable. Why did the aura only give them a sense of contradiction? Had they seen it before
"Let's go and see what is emitting the aura. As for how to get the coordinates, we can figure it out as we walk." After Wutan finished speaking, the four of them followed the aura to search for it.
As time went by, they encountered more and more blood-maned bulls. Sometimes there were even dozens of them in a wave. It took a lot of effort for the few of them to bypass them silently.
Moreover, Wutan gradually discovered a very strange phenomenon. The blood-maned bull would only linger in places where the qi existed.
In other words, the Blood-Maned Ox seems to be guarding the mysterious creature that exudes energy.
Just like this, another three days passed. During this period, they encountered many blood-maned bulls, but they were all safe. The mysterious aura became stronger and stronger, as if the source of the aura was not far away.
But on this day, the whereabouts of Wu Tian and his three companions were finally exposed!
To be precise, Longhu's whereabouts were exposed.
The reason was that a blood-maned bull was moving too fast and very suddenly. Wu Tian and his four companions could not avoid it and crashed into it head-on. The blood-maned bull also had excellent eyesight and recognized Long Hu at a glance. They were the humans who broke into the Sea of Death two years ago.
"Human, I didn't expect you to dare to enter the Sea of Death. Die!" The blood-maned bull was extremely brutal. It stomped its four hooves hard and charged towards the dragon and tiger fiercely. It was very direct and violent!
"With this battle suit, it seems that it didn't recognize us." Han Tian secretly transmitted the message.
"Not only did it not recognize us, it probably thought we were newborn blood-maned bulls." Tiangang shook his head with amusement.
"Hearing what you said, I have an idea." Wutan suddenly had an idea, secretly told Longhu, and then sent him into the Star Realm.
"Well? Where are the people?"
Seeing the prey in front of him disappear without any warning, a hint of suspicion suddenly appeared in the blood-red eyes of the Blood-Maned Ox, and he looked around.
"Humph! You're running away before the fight even starts. It seems that humans are no better than that."
After looking around for a while, there was no sign of the dragon and tiger, so the blood-maned ox thought it had escaped and didn't pay any attention to it.
Then, it stood up, holding its two front hooves in its arms, and looked at Wu Tian and the other two like a beast, and scolded them, "You three little bastards, you dare to run around without even having all your hair grown out. Don't you know it's dangerous outside?"
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts. Tiangang had really guessed it right. The beast treated them as its own kind.
Tian Gang cleared his throat and said in a muffled voice, "My Lord, you were so powerful just now. As soon as you appeared, you scared the shit out of that human."
The Blood Mane Bull said proudly: "Of course, if I hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid you would have been skinned and ripped out by that damned human. Now, now go back to your parents!"
"Sir, we..."
Tian Gang hesitated to speak.
"What happened?"
Tian Gang said angrily, "Your Excellency, you don't know that our parents were killed by that human, so we have nowhere to go now."
Wu Tian and Han Tian nodded silently and pretended to be heartbroken.
"What? You dare to kill the people of my Bloodmane Bull tribe? You must be tired of living!" The Bloodmane Bull was furious, but the hateful human had already escaped, so there was no point in being angry now.
After thinking for a while, Blood Mane Bull glanced at Wu Tian and the other two and said, "Poor child, you lost your parents just a few years after you were born. Well, today I will make an exception and take you to the Imperial City."
"Imperial City? Where is the Imperial City?" Tiangang asked suspiciously.
"You don't know the Imperial City?"
The Blood Mane Bull looked at the three people, and there was obviously a bit of coldness in his huge blood-red pupils. After a while, he suddenly said in a trance: "Oh, right, I forgot that you are newborn babies. How could you know the existence of the Imperial City? Come on! Follow me closely, I will take you to see the world."
"Thank you, sir." Tian Gang said gratefully, but followed the Blood Mane Ox listlessly. Wu Tian and the other man were the same, as if they were still immersed in the sorrow of their 'parents' death.
In private, Wu Tian wondered, "This is strange. Our eyes and hands are obviously different from those of the blood-maned bull, but why does it treat us as newborn cubs?"
"No matter what the reason is, as long as I can get away with it." Han Tian smiled evilly.
As they galloped along, the three encountered many blood-maned bulls, and in the end, they came in groups, with the largest group having hundreds of them.
Wutan was secretly shocked. He originally thought that there were only a few hundred blood-maned cattle in the Sea of Death. After all, the blood-maned cattle were a relic of wild beasts. According to his understanding of wild beasts, they should be quite rare. However, he never expected that the number would be so large!
According to a rough estimate, he has encountered thousands of them from two years ago to now!
But what really surprised him was yet to come.
After following the blood-maned ox and galloping for seven days, they arrived at the so-called imperial city. The three of them were petrified on the spot, with huge waves of fear rising in their hearts, churning endlessly!
They saw a vast canyon ahead, which was filled with densely packed blood-maned cattle, lying neatly on the ground. There were more than ten thousand of them within the ten-mile range that the three of them could see!
Moreover, Wutan also discovered that the mysterious aura came from this imperial city!
"You three little guys are very lucky. You just arrived and happened to encounter the Bull God sacrifice held once every thousand years." The blood-maned bull spoke in a pleasant tone, staring into the distance with eyes full of awe.
Wutan looked in the direction curiously, only to find helplessly that the target the Blood Mane Ox was looking at was ten miles away. However, from the look in its eyes, one could guess that the thing it was looking at must be a sacred object within the Blood Mane Ox tribe.
"Sir, what is the Bull God sacrifice?" Tian Gang asked in a muffled voice.
"Listen carefully, the three of you. The Bull God is the deity of our Blood Mane Bull Clan. With the blessing of the Bull God, our Blood Mane Bull Clan has been able to survive to this day and build a huge wild beast empire. So when you see the statue of the Bull God later, you must remember to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. Do you understand?"
"Youngsters will remember this." The three nodded.
"kindness."
The Blood Mane Ox nodded and explained, "The Bull God Sacrifice is a ritual to worship the Bull God. It is held once every thousand years, for ten years each time. There are more than half a million of our people in the entire Sea of Death. However, once the Bull God Sacrifice begins, no matter where they are, they must come to the Imperial City to worship."
"More than half a million!"
Hearing this horrifying number, even Wu Tian and the other two were calm and composed, so much so that they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
It also made them understand why they did not encounter a Blood-Maned Bull when they entered the Sea of Death two years ago. It turned out that the Bull came here to worship.
I also understood what the blood-maned bulls scattered across the place were guarding.
At Wu Tian's instruction, Tian Gang asked doubtfully, "Sir, are the other tribesmen as powerful as you?"
"Boy, are you looking down on me?" the blood-maned bull said unhappily.
Tian Gang hurriedly said timidly: "I dare not. It's just the first time I've seen so many people from the clan. I was very shocked and a little curious, so I couldn't help asking questions."
“Haha! Boy, I was just kidding you. When I first came to the Imperial City, I was just like you.” The blood-maned bull smiled faintly and said, “Come on, I’ll take you to the center of the Imperial City to pay homage to Lord Bull God.”
"Okay." The three of them nodded repeatedly, pretending to be happy and eager, and hurriedly followed.
On the way, the blood-maned bull seemed to like Wutan and the other two very much, and patiently answered questions raised by Tiangang one after another. Of course, in its eyes, they were three poor youngsters.
However, after listening to the Blood-Maned Ox's explanation, the shock in the three people's hearts could no longer be described in words!
It turns out that the Blood-Maned Ox has the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Hundred Dynasties just after it is born. Moreover, in the Sea of Death, they have an inexhaustible supply of food. Since blood is their food, they grow very quickly.
According to him, the Blood Mane Ox clan now has a Bull King who possesses the strength of a lesser accomplished celestial being and is the king of the entire Blood Mane Ox clan.
Under the Bull Emperor's throne there are ten Bull Kings and one hundred Bull Demon commanders.
The Bull King's cultivation is at the initial stage of becoming a celestial being, while the Bull Demon Commander's cultivation is at the half-step celestial being stage. The blood-maned bull in front of the three people is exactly one of the one hundred commanders.
As for the remaining blood-maned bulls, half of them are in the Wushuang period, and the remaining half are in the Shenbian period and the Baichao period.
"I didn't expect that you are the leader of the tribe. How powerful!" Tiangang said admiringly.
"Haha! Don't envy me. As long as you work harder under my training, you may not be able to reach my level in the future, but at least you can become the backbone of the Blood Mane Ox Clan. When we attack the Western Region and the Eastern Region, remember to contribute more!"
"What? The Blood-Maned Ox Clan is going to attack the East and West Regions?" Wutan and the other two were horrified. Fortunately, they had their battle uniforms to cover their faces, otherwise their identities would have been discovered by the Bull Demon Leader.
After calming himself down, Tian Gang pretended to be confused and asked, "Sir, what are the Western Region and the Eastern Region?"
The Bull Demon Leader said solemnly: "Little fellow, there are some things that you will not understand even if I tell you now. Just remember one thing, the world is vast beyond imagination, the Sea of Death is just the tip of the iceberg, and sooner or later our Blood Mane Bull Clan will rule over everything in the world and become the master of an era!"
Wutan and the other two glanced at each other inconspicuously, and they could see deep horror in each other's eyes.
I didn’t expect that the Blood-Maned Ox Clan would have such great ambitions, actually thinking about dominating the world and ruling the mountains and rivers!
