Lin Jin and Lao Jun waited for a while until there was no movement outside, then they looked at each other and decided to go out to have a look.
This cave is a dead end, there is no other exit, and the geography of the fairy mountain is special, such as the technique of earth escape cannot be performed here, turning back is the only way out.
Laojun is still cautious, cast spells at the entrance of the cave, gather a spirit bird instead of eyes, fly out to check the situation, if there is danger, just don't go out.
It's just that Laojun looked around with spirit birds instead of eyes, and his expression was quite shocked.
"Go, get out." Pulling Lin Jin out, seeing the situation outside, Lin Jin knew why Laojun was like this.
Outside, there were all the corpses of the giant toad from before, because the size of such a monster itself was huge enough, and the corpses were incomplete at this moment, scattered within a hundred miles around. One can imagine how shocking the scene was.
Lin Jin felt his scalp tingle when he saw this scene.
The point is not so many corpses, but what has killed so many giant rock toads in a period of time.
You must know that these are not ordinary beasts, they are all existences that have reached the eighth level, and any one placed in the Middle Earth can cause great changes, and no one can beat it, but here in Xianshan, it is easy to be hunted and killed.
"It's the Immortal Swallowing Beast." Laojun said.
He guessed this, because in his opinion, only the ninth-level swallowing beast can easily kill so many eighth-level beasts, and no one else can do this.
Wasn't it the case when the Immortal Swallowing Beast hunted and killed immortals back then
Destroyed, almost crushed.
Contrary to Lao Jun's guess, Lin Jin found definite evidence. He found a piece of scale armor the size of a millstone next to the corpse of a giant rock toad.
The scale armor is multicolored, three fingers thick, and extremely hard. Lin Jin knew that the scale armor belonged to the Immortal Swallowing Beast. It can be seen that the Immortal Swallowing Beast was also injured a little when it hunted and killed this group of rock toads.
Seeing Lin Jin's palm pressed against the piece of scales, Laojun was lost in thought, so he also walked in to check.
"Lin Jin, what's wrong?"
Lin Jin didn't hide it: "Old Lord, this swallowing beast is a bit strange now."
The old gentleman was puzzled, after all, even if the old gentleman was supernaturally powerful, he couldn't judge the current situation of the swallowing beast from a scale, but Lin Jin could.
"What's so strange?" Laojun asked if he didn't understand.
Lin Jin thought for a while: "This swallowing beast has gotten out of control recently."
Laojun didn't quite understand this at first, what does it mean to lose control? No one can control the Swallowing Beast, so let's talk about being out of control. Fortunately, Lin Jin put it another way. It's like a person who acts according to a certain rule and suddenly starts to act out of the rule.
Laojun understood it as soon as he heard it, and then his face changed.
wrong.
The rule of the swallowing beast is to kill immortals. If this rule is changed, the problem will be serious. What Laojun is afraid of is not that the other party will let the immortals go, but that they will start killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Isn't that what these giant rock toads look like
The ferocious beasts on the fairy mountain are not immortals, why should the swallowing beast be hunted down
"Perhaps, this incident is also related to the appearance of the annihilation of the world." Laojun said a conjecture.
Lin Jin nodded.
According to the result of his identification, it was almost the same. Besides, Lin Jin also saw another piece of information from the Beast Museum when identifying the Immortal Swallowing Beast this time.
That is the origin of the swallowing beast.
Lin Jin had already guessed before that the Immortal Devouring Beast was so powerful that it might have been transformed from a fragment of the cornerstone of the Dao of Heaven, but now it was verified that it was exactly as Lin Jin thought.
This ninth-order swallowing beast is a fragment of the cornerstone of the heavenly way.
From this point of view, the so-called loss of control does not only refer to the ninth-order swallowing beast, but also refers to the cornerstone of the way of heaven. Combined with Laojun's hexagram of destroying the world, Lin Jin can basically be sure that there is something wrong with the cornerstone of the way of heaven.
On the way here, Lin Jin had already learned from the old gentleman that the lifespan of the world is extremely long. The world has changed from chaos to creation, and then to chaos. This is a cycle of tens of millions of years, or even longer. It is the reincarnation of heaven, and no one can avoid it.
But this reincarnation of heaven and earth is definitely more than that. According to Laojun's calculation, there is at least half of the time before the next reincarnation of heaven and earth returns to chaos, that is, in tens of millions of years, it is impossible to return to chaos in the next few years.
It can only be said that the problem must be on the cornerstone of the way of heaven.
At present, Lin Jin and Laojun continued to go up the mountain. They measured the fairy mountain with their steps. They estimated that it would take a while to reach the cornerstone of the heavenly way on the top of the mountain. Fortunately, Lin Jin and Laojun were not ordinary mortals. , the mountain that ordinary people can't climb for a hundred years, the two of them have reached in just a few days.
Along the way, the two encountered several dangers, but fortunately, they were all resolved. There was even one time when they were almost discovered by the ninth-level swallowing beast. At that time, the swallowing beast was hunting another group of beasts. What he saw and heard refreshed Lin Jin's understanding of the world.
The closer to the top of this fairy mountain, the more terrifying the beasts encountered, and some of them are almost quasi-ninth level.
Laojun told Lin Jin that there were no such ferocious beasts in this fairy mountain before, no need to ask, it must have been gradually formed in the past two thousand years. The speaker had no intention of listening to it, and Lin Jin already had an idea in his heart.
Ferocious beasts cannot be created out of thin air. It should be that the immortal beasts from other places in the Nine Heavens Profound Realm entered the fairy mountain, but I have seen all the fairy beast forests outside the fairy mountain. Although they are also powerful, they are much worse than those in the fairy mountain.
The key point here is that these fairy beasts changed only after entering the fairy mountain.
For example, those rock toads have been identified by Lin Jin, and their prototype is only a sixth-order fairy clam, which is also very common in the Nine Heavens Profound Realm.
A sixth-order fairy beast turned into an eighth-order beast in Xianshan.
Moreover, the size and combat power have also been improved several levels. You must know that there are no beast appraisers in the fairy mountain to guide these fairy beasts, and they can advance completely by themselves.
This further shows that the fairy mountain is the main reason that affects the advancement of these fairy beasts.
What Lin Jin was thinking about was the method of promoting Xiaohuo from the eighth rank to the ninth rank, which was not given in the Museum of Beasts, so Lin Jin hadn't thought about it before, but now, with his years of accumulation in appraising beasts, Lin Jin felt that he had found it. He found a way to promote Xiao Huo to the eighth rank.
The key is in this fairy mountain.
Xiaohuo can only be promoted to the ninth rank if he advances in the fairy mountain. In other words, the world is so big that no place can do it. Only in the fairy mountain can a beast of the ninth rank be born.
No one told Lin Jin about this idea, it was Lin Jin's own judgment.
Although it has not been verified yet, Lin Jin is more than 80% sure. Unexpectedly, the things that have troubled Lin Jin for more than a year will turn around at this time.
And this is not the guidance given by the Beast Museum, it is completely Lin Jin's own idea.
Along the way, Lin Jin also saw various plants and animals in the fairy mountain. The beasts who wanted to live here had already formed their own food chain ecosystem.
In order for Xiao Huo to reach the realm, he must adapt to the fairy mountain in a short period of time and become the apex of the food chain in the fairy mountain.
It's like a ninth-order swallowing immortal beast.
"Lin Jin, look over there, that is the cornerstone of the way of heaven." At this moment, Lao Jun's voice interrupted Lin Jin's thoughts. At this moment, Lin Jin raised his head to look, and immediately saw a huge black cuboid together with the sky and the earth. Standing on the top of the fairy mountain.
Needless to say, this black cuboid stone is the cornerstone of the way of heaven.
