The place in front of him couldn't be considered a city, it was more appropriate to call it a nest.
On top of the steep cliff, there were numerous man-made caves that extended in all directions. Moreover, they were made of extremely tough Magi Stone. Who knows how much effort the people within had spent.
Most of the people inside were naked, with their chests bared. They only wore beast skins to cover their vitals. There weren't many people within, roughly 500 thousand. However, they were all tall and strong. Even the shortest person was 8 feet tall. Their silver-white fur was draped behind their backs, their auras were both noble and rough.
However, their situation wasn't good, they didn't care about their appearance, most of them were covered in dirt.
When Zong Shou's thousand cloud ships finally passed through the black mist, they appeared beside the giant mountain. The Snow Lion Race people in the cave panicked as they all hid into the depths of the cave.
"It really is the Snow Lion Race! The 3 king races of the lion race in the past … "
Chu Xue was slightly shocked. She stood up in confusion and looked at the caves, "Young Master, didn't they say that the Snow Lion Race was already wiped out? Why would there be so many people under the cloud ocean? "
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and surprise. Their tiger cat race actually had the bloodline of the Snow Lion Race. Roughly 3 thousand years ago, they had a marriage alliance with the Snow Lion Race. They could be considered close relatives.
Zong Shou knew a little about the reason. In the past, the monster race was forced by the human race such that they had nowhere to go and were forced to fight back. There were some that succeeded and some that failed.
In the past, the 10 races of the lion race were strong for a period of time in Donglin Cloud Continent. However, as they killed too many people, the human race retaliated. Many powers joined hands and they faced the rise of the strongest dynasty in Donglin. The entire race was close to collapsing. This Snow Lion Race probably chose to hide under the cloud ocean at that time, which was why they were able to survive.
As for the details, Zong Shou was too lazy to think about it. He only needed to know that this was the Snow Lion Race that had an unparalleled general in his memory!
In less than 10 years, an empire that stretched tens of thousands of miles would appear under the cloud ocean. He had united the tens of millions of sinners under his command. Using tens of thousands of broken ships to fight against the beasts and evil spirits while also fighting against the cloud ships of Donglin Cloud Continent. In just over twenty years, his influence had expanded tenfold.
If it weren't for the fact that the various sects could no longer tolerate the expansion of the sinners' forces under the sea of clouds, they wouldn't have been able to do so. Perhaps one day, this empire would be able to unify the entire world under the Cloud Sea.
Speaking of which, he had once viewed this person as a target to climb up to. Due to his good friend's request, when he was mixed into the battle formation, he had studied this person's methods of using troops.
It was a pity that this person's life was mostly spent in warship battles, and he was not good at such things.
He had wanted to find this person a long time ago. However, Zong Shou had no idea where the Snow Lion Tribe was hiding. As for the exact location, the company that developed the Godly Emperor game back then did not manage to find any clues in the vast history books. The original residence of the Snow Lion Tribe was only a fictional residence in the game.
Since Zong Shou returned to Gantian Mountain, he didn't have a single day of free time. As time passed, he totally forgot about it.
Who knew that he would bump into them here. Was this the will of the heavens?
His eyes flashing slightly, Zong Shou's face regained its calmness, "Governor Gu! Think of a way to force them to surrender. I want all of them! "
Gu Liekong frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Zong Shou was going to do slave trading?
However, the Lion Race was arrogant and definitely wouldn't be willing to be slaves. To these Lion Race people, if they were humiliated like that, they would rather die. To make them surrender was easy, but to make them listen to orders wasn't.
Those slave merchants in Donglin Cloud Continent rarely did business with the Lion Race. Even if they did, it was really cheap. However, if they had methods to control them, the price would be sky high.
On one hand, there were really few Lion Race people in Donglin Cloud Continent. On the other hand, they were really hard to tame.
However, he didn't say much, spreading out the order flag. Thousands of cloud shuttles lined up in a row, and countless crossbows were aimed in the direction of the stone caves.
The entire process was really simple and didn't require much effort. When those 800 energy destroying crossbows fired at the same time towards the caves, Power slightly spread out, causing this giant mountain to nearly collapse.
After an hour of warning, the Snow Lion Race had already surrendered. It wasn't that they had lost their vital energy, but that this enemy was so strong that he didn't even need to attack to kill them all. When resistance was meaningless, they lost all their fighting spirit.
The Snow Lion Race originally had a thousand ships, all of which were destroyed by the Donglin Cloud Ocean over the years. The Snow Lion Race picked them up and modified them.
They used close to 8 hours to load the hundreds of thousands of Snow Lion Race people onto the ships. Following which, Zhu Junhou and Zong Yuan led their teams to search the caves. As expected, they found many. Their population was close to 570 thousand, as expected from a huge race that was once prosperous in Donglin Cloud Continent. Even thousands of years later, their population was only tens of thousands less than their Sky Fox Zong Family.
Just as all the cloud ships set off once more. A close to ten feet tall middle-aged man, whose body was ridiculously muscular even within the Lion Race, was forcefully escorted onto Zong Shou's ship by Zong Yuan. His entire body was tied up by wrist-thick chains, however, they gave out cracking sounds. It made one suspect whether or not the chains would be forcefully broken by this person in the next moment.
Behind this person, there were tens of people. Their bodies were also muscular, only weaker than the Bear Race. However, their strength was slightly weaker. As expected, there were a few females within. The Lion Race people, the males were muscular, while the females had normal bodies. Compared to normal females, they were slightly taller and had hot bodies.
"You are their leader?"
Although that silver-haired middle-aged man looked overbearing and arrogant. However, when he boarded the ship, his aura was unusually calm. His golden eyes swept the people on the ship. In the end, when he noticed that the noblest person here was actually Zong Shou who was sitting under a large umbrella, he was slightly shocked.
"Since when did the Demon Clan degenerate? A kid who doesn't even have much strength can become a leader? "
Zong Yuan's eyes turned cold, his expression didn't change. However, the hand holding the chains tightened. That silver-haired middle-aged man's expression changed, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Qiu was still really firm, gritting his teeth and saying, "Today, you won with an unfair advantage! However, I, Shi Fatian, know the way of war, the way of unscrupulous means. No matter what your intentions are, I only beg you to give our Snow Lion Race a way out and some face. Even if I, Shi Fatian, become your slave or slave, I am willing to do anything for you! "
Zong Shou didn't even bother to listen, only staring at those few Lion Race girls.
Moments later, he found out that the image of that person in the God Emperor game was probably made up by the game developers. None of the girls in front of him looked like that person.
Actually, thinking about it, one could understand that since the game developers didn't know the exact location of the Snow Lion Race before the spiritual wave started. As for what that person looked like, naturally, they wouldn't know.
In his heart, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Zong Shou turned around and asked, "You are Shi Fatian? Snow Lion race leader? Then, who is your 4th girl? "
He had no choice, this was the only piece of reliable information.
That Shi Fatian frowned, hesitating slightly. Moments later, when Zong Yuan increased his strength once more, he knew that he couldn't reject. He scoffed coldly, "The 3rd one on the left!"
Sōmorime's gaze shifted over, following which he was totally startled.
Where his eyes landed was a small body. It wasn't because she was young, only 10 years old. But because her body was really small, similar to a 7-8 year old normal person. Compared to those tall brothers and sisters beside her, she was pretty much just a little dot.
Her face was smeared with mud, a pair of watery eyes looking over timidly.
In the blink of an eye, the tall, slender, and beautiful figure in his memory completely collapsed.
Zong Shou also suddenly understood why the descriptions of this person in the history books were so weird.
"… Used a ghost face to show people, body different from normal people …"
As expected, she was different from normal people. Her body, even amongst normal people, could only be considered petite.
Zong Shou walked over in large steps and hugged this little girl. Then, he used his sleeves to wipe away the black mud on her face. Then, he broke out into a laugh. Such a beautiful face, no wonder she had to wear a mask in the future.
However, in his mind, he still didn't dare to believe it. That 10 years later, she helped her brother in the first battle, using 300 broken cloud ships to cause Taoyun City to suffer heavy losses. She then led the sinners in 300 battles, be it on land or on ships, she never lost. In the end, she was feared by her brother and could only go into seclusion. She also fell along with this empire under the cloud ocean. The person who was called Unparalleled by the entire cloud world was this little dot in front of him?
In that instant, Zong Shou was about to suspect that the history books he had read weren't reliable.
However, shortly after, Zong Shou had an idea and took out a talisman. It burned in mid-air and a spiritual light entered the girl's brow, forming a chess shaped talisman. He took out the illusionary heart mirror and shone it into her soul.
However, 15 minutes later, the chess talisman at the center of her brow suddenly broke. The light of the illusionary heart mirror dimmed slightly.
Then, those eyes that made one love her looked over with a wronged expression.
Zong Shoxin was totally stunned. Just now, he used the illusionary heart mirror to form an illusionary realm in her heart. After all, she was still a kid and couldn't create something too perverted. It was just a set of chess that was really popular in the future.
However, the final result was unexpected.
After being startled for a moment, Zong Shou smiled, "Does this girl have a name?"
Shi Fatian felt more and more weird but he had no choice but to reply, "Our snow lion race girls can only be named after 14 years old!"
"Then I will help her name, Shi Ruolan! What do you think? "
Although he was asking, he didn't have any intention of asking. However, when Zong Shou raised his head, his head felt numb. He saw that Chu Xue, Ruoshui and the others were looking over with weird expressions. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
