There is a simple dock on the holy mountain where the moon boat docks. There is a rocky beach at one end of the dock for ships to dock temporarily. The stream beats black gravel, and also turns some shipwrecks piled up on it into pieces of rotten wood. Looking at the wreckage of these ships, Hei Xiao said: "This river is not smooth, and some dark holes in the river are connected to the holy lake. Sometimes, some things will enter the river through those dark holes. They will attack the ships, so at this time, When some ships drift to the end at the foot of this holy mountain, there is often no one on board."
"Whether the pilgrims die in the river or fall into the valley, they are regarded as returning to the embrace of the holy mountain. So every year there are many victims, but some people still initiate pilgrimages." Hei Xiao jumped onto the dock and helped fix the boat nearby.
Zero also disembarked and followed behind Hei Xiao. The two left the dock and went around to the south side of the holy mountain, which was the starting point for the holy temple. As Hei Xiao walked, he briefly introduced the history of this place to Ling. The Holy Mountain is actually the birthplace of the Shadow Clan. According to the records of the Shadow Clan, they came from the bottom of the Holy Mountain and came to the ground through the gate of the jaw. Became one of the few clans in the black land at that time, and then lived around the holy mountain. Ten years later, clans sprung up on this land like mushrooms after rain, and some clans began to notice the existence of ShadowClan.
At first, because of the small number of Shadow Clan, many clans planned to join them together. However, although the number of Shadow Clan is small, all adult fighters are high-level powerhouses. The Shadow Clan warriors guarded the village, and after repelling several waves of attacks from other clans, the patriarch saw the hidden danger of the Shadow Clan. Their high-level combat power was unmatched in the black land at that time, but the lack of mid- and low-level fighters would make it impossible for Shadow Clan to grow stronger.
So the patriarch began to recruit some powerful clans to become the guards of ShadowClan with the seeds of the Black God and the holy medicine as rewards. This gradually changed the chaotic pattern of the black land at that time, and ten powerful races moved closer to the Shadow Clan. They put the name of the holy mountain on the nearby mountain where the Shadow Clan is located, and gradually sanctified it, thus subtly giving all the clans a common belief.
Then a series of things related to the holy mountain were derived, such as the holy temple, the holy lake, and the sacred place of Hakhara. It can be said that the common beliefs of all the alien races in the Black Land originated from this place.
"So to put it simply, you and several other strong clans fabricated this so-called holy mountain and holy land for the purpose of facilitating the management of other clans?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Zero's tone.
Hei Xiao said indifferently: "Isn't it the same for you humans? Give the rulers a layer of divinity and make the people believe in it, so that the management will be more effective with less effort. Speaking of which, we still learned from you."
Zero smiled and didn't answer, the time span of human history is thousands of times longer than that of foreign races. Naturally, a similar pattern appeared during this period. If you use this to ridicule the actions of Hei Xiao and others, it is tantamount to laughing at a hundred steps.
"No matter what, you have to admit it. Only with a common belief can the clans in this land unite instead of being scattered. Otherwise, what can we use to fight against your human invasion?"
"Stop, that's just the work of the Dark Council, don't raise their actions to the level of all human beings." Zero waved his hand.
Hei Xiao shrugged and said with a smile: "The innate aggressiveness of human beings does not vary from person to person. The Dark Council just did it earlier than others."
While the two were chatting, they had come to the starting point of the holy path. The holy way is the general term for those intermittent steps between the peaks, and it is the ultimate pilgrimage road for foreigners. But now, the entrance to the holy path is blocked by several aliens. One of them looks like a spider man, holding a halberd and a gun in both hands, with a rebellious expression. When he saw him, Hei Xiao frowned slightly, and said softly to Ling: "That's a warrior from the Spider clan, and also the captain of the temple guard. His name is Cadio, he's a troublesome guy..."
When Zero and the two turned out from the mountain road, the captain of the guard named Cadio also saw them. And when he set his eyes on Zero, a contemptuous smile appeared on the face of that kind of person, so Zero knew that the trouble was directed at him.
At this moment, above the holy temple. There are two figures standing on the edge of the pillarless hall, below which is a steep mountain wall that is almost vertical. Seen from this direction, Hakara City is just a white patch. And more, it is a black earth.
There are two figures, one is as short as a dwarf, with a big head and a small body. The huge head is covered with spots, and the three eyes are arranged in a pin shape, almost occupying most of the face. There is no nose, only a few small holes that seem to be respiratory organs, and one is split to the base of the ear. It has pointed ears like elves, and a row of earrings are strung on the left long ear.
The dwarf was wearing a long gray coat, which looked as if he had put two pieces of cloth on his body at random, and fastened it with a rope as a belt. The long clothes dragged the floor, and the feet could not be seen, while a pair of three-toed monster palms were carried on the back. This dwarf-like elder of a foreign race looked down the mountain with a thoughtful expression.
This is Weig, the patriarch of the Sodor tribe. The Sodor tribe and the Sander tribe are both well-known dwarfs in the black land. The difference is that the Sanders are almost all craftsmen with ingenuity, while the Sodo tribe's unusually huge head makes their mental power a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary alien races, so there is no lack of ability users in the perception domain. And that big head also made Sodo much smarter than other aliens.
Weige is not only the patriarch, but also one of the elders of the temple, and he is also known as a wise man. Several major decisions of the Holy Temple involved Weige's presence. Next to Weger was another elder, Pan Sen, the patriarch of the tattooed spider clan.
The tattooed arachnids have a humanoid upper body and a spider-like lower body. Naturally agile and able to fight in most terrains, they are excellent fighters. Due to the special environment of the holy temple, the guards of the temple have been guarded by the warriors of the spider clan for many years. Only they, a special race that can freely climb up and down the vertical mountain wall, can protect every corner of the holy mountain.
"I heard that Ba Jin and the others were besieging the human devil in the blood collar, but they ended in failure. Not only did they lose the lives of hundreds of soldiers, but even King Kong was sacrificed." Weig's voice was extremely low, passing through the valley like the wind. echoes left behind.
Pan Sen's voice was weird and ugly. In fact, the tattooed spider man had a human-like upper body, but he didn't have human-like vocal organs. Their voices were more like ventriloquism, simulated by the movement of several special muscles in the abdomen: "If the soldiers of our tribe did not want to guard the holy mountain, otherwise, the ending of that night would be rewritten."
Weig smiled slightly, the spider clan was so proud from top to bottom. He didn't refute anything, but said indifferently: "Ba Jin has advanced to the tenth rank a year ago."
"What?" Pan Sen's eyes showed horror, "Why haven't I heard about this?"
"He has always been low-key, and you don't know it. This is only detected by my ability. Ba Jin hides it very deeply. And I heard that he has shot without reservation during the battle of the blood leader." Weige said After finishing, the eye on the forehead looked at Pan Sen.
Pan Sen's face changed several times, and he finally sighed: "In that case, this demon should be at the eleventh level. Damn it, there are eleventh-level humans who came to our territory."
"One thing to note is that before Ba Jin and the others made a move, the devil had already been severely injured by our warriors, so Ba Jin thought that this was an excellent opportunity." Weger threw another heavy weight slowly. bomb.
Pan Sen looked at the dwarf elder with a strange expression: "Doesn't that mean that the so-called hundred-war warrior is also at the eleventh rank?"
"It's just what I heard. The news came from Hei Xiao. But don't you think that Hei Xiao is too enthusiastic this time? For the sake of a human being, he will not go down the mountain easily, but he rushes to the Asak village." Weig laughed: "Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't seen other Shadow Clan people for a long time. In the past two years, all the affairs of the Shadow Clan have been handled by Hei Xiao, which is very strange."
"You mean, maybe that rumor is true?"
Weige nodded: "Hei Xiao and the others probably violated a taboo. They abused the seeds of the Black God, which led to some irreversible changes in the Shadow Clan. But the arrival of Master Amanda gave Hei Xiao a glimmer of hope. Oman It's not that their silver ranger took the holy medicine, but was rescued by the hundred-war warrior in the end. Hei Xiao probably rushed to meet him after hearing the news."
Pan Sen felt his head was heavy, he shook his head and said, "In this case, Hei Xiao and that warrior should have reached some kind of agreement."
"It should be like this. Didn't that warrior propose to meet the God of Darkness of the Shadow Clan? But to open the door of the jaw, we need the consent of the elders of the temple. The agreement reached between Hei Xiao and him is probably to help him pass the resolution of the temple. And in exchange for the condition of the other party to save the Shadow Clan."
"I understand, that's why you asked Cadio to stop that so-called hundred-war warrior from going up the mountain." Pan Sen also showed a smile on his face: "If the Shadow Clan declines, then we can use the black owl to control the land of darkness." God, even the annual seed distribution right now."
Weig shook his head: "No, it's not for this reason that I let Cadio deliberately block it. I just want to confirm what level the warrior's strength has reached."
"Don't you think we need a knife? A knife that is sharp enough to kill that human devil for us. Best, they will both lose."
At the foot of the mountain, Hei Xiao stepped forward and shouted: "Cadio, what are you doing, get out of the way quickly."
"It turns out that it is the respected Elder Heixiao. Your words will naturally go unimpeded." Cardio made a gesture, and then moved aside with several spider warriors to make way.
Hei Xiao looked at him coldly and said, "What do you want to say?"
"What I mean is very clear, you can go there. As for him..." Cadio looked at Zero, meaning to say: "In the history of the Holy Mountain, there has never been a precedent for a human being to pass. My body The captain who guards the holy mountain can't break the rules, don't you think so?"
"He is not an ordinary human being. He is a warrior recognized by the Asak people. Not only Gao Ge recognized him, but even Ba Jin and the other patriarchs recognized his identity!" Hei Xiao took out the tokens of Ba Jin and others.
Cardio glanced at it and said with a sneer: "But among them, I didn't see the token of Patriarch Pan Sen. That is to say, at least our tattooed spiders didn't admit it."
Hei Xiao's face suddenly sank, but at this moment, Zero said: "It seems that the captain of the guard wants to weigh my weight, is that so? Captain Cadio."
"Give you a discount, human." Cardio returned to the middle of the holy way: "As long as you can pass by me, you will pass the test. But I think you can only crawl under my feet. Of course, if If you do this, I can also pass as you."
He laughed, and the other spider warriors laughed too. The tattooed spider man is already tall, and Cardio is exceptionally outstanding. When his joints propped up his body, he was more than three meters tall. One stop in the middle of the holy path, there is hardly any room to pass. To go through Kadio, the only way to defeat him is from the front.
Cardio is the ninth rank!
Zero shrugged and said, "Just reach behind you, right?"
"That's right, that's it." Cadio deliberately stretched his joints: "I personally suggest that you still crawl under me."
Zero smiled, and took a step forward as if taking a walk. Keren disappeared in Cadio's eyes, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Cadio. There were quite a few spider warriors present, but no one saw how Zero moved. He seems to have reached behind Cadio in one step, but there is no sound of high-speed movement breaking through the air.
Cadio's face pulled down, and the smile on his face stiffened. He knew he was being tricked, and the captain of the guard turned around slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Spatial movement?"
He nodded, stepped back, and reappeared in the previous position: "Forget it, you won't admit it if you think about it in such a tricky way. It's better to knock you down from the front, so that you won't have Do you have an opinion?"
Cadio turned around and said solemnly: "You are courting death!"
"Let's see who is looking for death?" Zero leaned forward and rushed forward. The empty energy stones on his body were thrown out, and the power of the energy skyrocketed. In an instant, the surrounding space gave birth to tidal sounds and thunder, which was the sound of energy colliding with each other.
Above the holy temple, Weig and Pantheon had already turned to return to the depths of the pillars of the hall. Patriarch Suoduo's whole body was shocked, and then Pan Sen also felt it, and the two rushed to the edge of the hall at the same time. Weger trembled: "This breath is not Cadio's."
"Of course, his strength is not so strong yet..." Pan Sen said bitterly, "It belongs to that human being, damn it, is this the strength of the tenth level?"
"No, no, that human being's power is more than that. I can feel that he didn't use all his energy. That's right, he's also at the eleventh level..." Weg paused, a bright smile appeared on his face : "This is really a good knife."
Under the holy mountain, Zero One punched Cardio. Pieces of golden flames glowed on the fist, and a bright golden light flickered at the front of the fist. There was a high-pitched scream in the air, like a heavy artillery shell piercing through the air, heading towards Cadio.
In Cardio's pupils, there was only the light of Zero Fist, and in it, he felt unimaginable destructive power! He himself is level nine, but when faced with this mass of berserk energy, Cadio is as helpless as a child of a giant. As soon as he gritted his teeth, the energy in his body exploded. An off-white ray of light emerged from the body and wrapped around the halberd, and with a roar, the halberd pointed at Zero's fist.
Zero smiled lightly, and the front of his fist suddenly accelerated to print on Cadio's halberd. A ball of white light burst out at the place where the fists and halberds collided, and the white light suddenly shrank, and then a circle of strong shock waves exploded around the fists and halberds, blowing the spider warriors around them to involuntarily cling to the mountain wall.
Cadio's halberd exploded one after another, and countless golden threads flowed upstream along the body of the halberd, finally bursting the remaining half of the halberd in Cadio's palm. Cadio felt as if a group of flames exploded in his palm, the skin of his palm was shocked, and traces of blood popped out. And the huge force of the explosion caused others to slide backwards. Even though the joints of the spider's body were nailed into the ground, they were still pushed back a few meters, pulling out several streams of smoke and dust, leaving deep scratches on the ground.
At this moment, Zero withdrew his fist and retracted the void energy stone on his body. His energy and power dropped, and he returned to the unastonishing level before.
Cardio's expression kept changing, he could feel the sound of his halberd hitting him at zero. The front of the fist shifted a little, which shifted the center of gravity of the attack. It can be said that the tip of the halberd was only scratched by the fist. This means that the pressure on Cardio is greatly reduced. Otherwise, if the fist hits the halberd, it will not be as simple as blowing up the halberd and injuring his palm.
With the skill of a tenth-level powerhouse, it is naturally impossible to make a low-level mistake such as shifting the center of gravity of the attack. That can only show that Zero did it on purpose, which made Cardio lose so badly. Cardio sighed, put away the previous unruly look, nodded towards Zero and said: "I lost, and I was convinced. Now I believe that you are a real warrior. Only a strong man like you is worthy worthy of such a title."
Raising the gun and putting it on his chest, Cardio lowered his head. The other spider warriors followed suit one after another, sticking their weapons to their chests and bowing their heads towards Zero. Hei Xiao patted Ling on the shoulder and said: "This is the etiquette of the tattooed spider clan to show respect to the strong. Now you should know why I care so much about your recovery? Only pure strength can make Gaoao If you are convinced by Cadio, everything else is empty talk."
Zero smiled helplessly. In this era, no matter humans or aliens, everyone believes in power. And only with strong power as the backing, can all your ideas become reality.
The spider warrior stepped aside from the holy path, and Zero looked up. The holy mountain is majestic, with walls like thousands of feet. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to go to the holy temple.
"Let's go." Hei Xiao has already headed for the holy path.
It was already more than two hours later when the two of them got to the pillared hall of the holy temple on the mountainside. Rao is a strong man like Ling, and it took a little effort to climb the holy temple. On the holy temple, Weige and Pan Sen had been waiting by the side. When Zero and Heixiao entered the holy temple, Weige greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "It's so exciting, I'm not afraid that you are a warrior recognized by the Asak people. Your punch against Kadio will definitely leave a lasting impression." In the memory of this holy place. As the first human being to set foot in the holy temple, I only welcome you on behalf of the elders of the holy temple... Zero!"
