In the land of the Shamans in the Land of South Morning was a remote region where White Bull Tribe and Black Crane Tribe were located. During this period of time, something happened that caused great terror to White Bull Tribe and Black Crane Tribe.
The panic in White Bull Tribe was because of Su Ming. He might have left that day, but the Patriarch of White Bull Tribe's actions had stirred up the resentment in the hearts of his tribe members. Most of the tribe members believed that it was a great humiliation to give away the women of their tribe so that an outsider could vent his lust on them. They would rather fight and kill than let this happen.
Besides, to many people, if they fought together, it was not impossible for them to kill Su Ming. That was why they began to question their Patriarch's actions at that time.
Even though nothing had truly happened, the resentment and doubts were like seeds that had been planted in their hearts. This was something the monkey-faced old man from White Bull Tribe knew about, but he could only remain silent.
This was different from the cruel control the other tribes had over their tribe. The old man was attached to his tribe from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, this kind of resentment and doubt only existed for half a month. Following the incident that caused the entire White Bull Tribe to panic, it gradually dissipated a little.
The cause of this incident was a member of White Bull Tribe venturing out alone. He was a young man who still had the hot-bloodedness and impulsiveness of his age. He was also the partner of two of the three women who had been sent out.
He went to Su Ming's cave abode alone, but when he arrived, he discovered to his shock that the mountain range … had disappeared! Everything was gone. The place where the mountain range used to be had turned into a flat plain. There was not a single trace of destruction in the area, as if there had never been a mountain in the first place …
When he returned to the tribe and this matter was made known to the entire White Bull Tribe, the monkey-faced old man personally brought some people to Su Ming's cave abode. Once he examined it carefully, confusion also appeared on the old man's face, but there was even more fear towards the unknown on his face.
Not only was the mountain range gone, even their Shaman Crystal mine was gone …
The monkey-faced old man stared at the empty land, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt fearful. It was as if there was a faint murderous aura in the calm land, causing his heart to tremble. He immediately brought his tribesmen back to the tribe, and with his status as the Patriarch of the tribe, he placed a gag on all his tribesmen, forbidding them from talking about this matter. All those who disobeyed would be severely punished!
He had a vague feeling that the strange phenomenon that had happened in the land of the Shamans over the past few days, especially the gigantic white sun that had appeared in the sky that day, seemed to have some sort of strange connection with this place. He did not have any proof of this, it was just a feeling.
Compared to White Bull Tribe, Black Crane Tribe had also sunk into fear, but their fear was slightly different from White Bull Tribe's. Their tribe leader had gone missing, and Madam Ji had never returned. All of these things made it clear that the person who occupied the Shaman Crystal mine was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
In fact, the Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe had even brought some people to this place to investigate, but what he saw was the same as what the people from White Bull Tribe had seen. This place was empty, and it was completely different from what he remembered.
The faintly discernible murderous aura that existed in this place also made the Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe's heart tremble. He quickly left and informed his tribe members to turn this place into a forbidden ground.
Due to the disappearance of the Shaman Crystal mine, Black Crane Tribe and White Bull Tribe no longer had any reason to fight against each other.
Time trickled by …
A month later, a fiery red ape charged towards this place from the distance. It was momentarily stunned when it saw the empty land, then it circled around the place and searched for it …
Eventually, it found that this place was empty. The mountain range where the cave abode once stood was gone, and the only person who was friendly to it in the past had also disappeared.
However, it did not give up. Instead, it stayed in the area and would occasionally return to this place to investigate, trying to find the entrance to this place.
No one in this place knew that in truth, the mountain range did not disappear. It was still there, but Hong Luo had cast his divine ability and hidden it away, causing no one to be able to see it, sense it, or touch it. It was as if this place had turned into a dimension that was isolated from the world.
There were two corpses on the ground outside the mountain range. In truth, more accurately speaking, there should have been three corpses. However, Madam Ji's corpse had already been reduced to pieces and the outline of her body could no longer be seen.
One of the remaining two corpses was Madam Ji's puppet, which was also her husband, Ji Yun Hai. The other was the dried up corpse of the tribe leader of Black Crane Tribe.
There were also a large number of black beetles on the ground. These beetles were lying on the ground and did not move, but there were no signs of death on their bodies. It was as if they were in deep sleep.
The only thing that could fly around in circles in this place was a black line. It was Su Ming's strange little snake. That snake was flying back and forth in the area and would occasionally let out hissing sounds, as if it was searching for something, but it could not find it.
Eventually, it flew to a small virescent sword lying in the grass not too far away and lay down there. Occasionally, it would let out hissing sounds, as if it was calling out to something.
Within the cave abode in the mountain range was a gigantic medicinal cauldron. The power of the world was still surging into the cauldron, causing the medicine in the cauldron to be slowly refined.
In another stone chamber was the old Berserker. His body did not move, but his eyelids were trembling, as if he was struggling to open his eyes and wake up.
Yet the moment he gathered all his strength and was about to open his eyes, the small snake on the grass outside the cave abode lifted its head and hissed. It stared at its master's cave abode, then with a swift move, it slithered through the grass and immediately flew up. When it flew up, three Spirit Plunders were brought up by it and charged towards the cave abode. It shot through the air and appeared in the stone chamber where the old Berserker's body was stored. The small snake let out a piercing hiss and with a flick of its body, the three Spirit Plunders instantly flew into the old Berserker's head and floated there based on their original trajectory.
The instant the Spirit Plunders floated in the air, the old Berserker struggled to open his tightly shut eyes by a slit, and a low growl that sounded like that of a wild beast tumbled out of his mouth.
The small snake was above the old Berserker. At the same time it hissed, a chilling glare appeared in its eyes. With a swift move, it charged towards the old Berserker and bit down on his arm. Instantly, a wave of black smoke spread out from the old Berserker's arm and covered his entire body. The old Berserker let out a low growl, unwilling to admit defeat, and closed his eyes once again.
The small snake observed him by the side for a moment before flying out of the cave abode once again. It arrived beside the small virescent sword and lifted its head to look at it. Occasionally, hisses that called out to it would echo in the air …
This was its home. That was how it felt. Everything in this place had to remain the way it was and wait for its master's return …
Before its master returned, it would protect this place for all eternity.
Besides, in the entire Land of South Morning, as long as their divine sense did not surpass Hong Luo's, then no one would be able to discover the existence of this mountain range. And in the Land of South Morning, there was practically no one whose divine sense could surpass Hong Luo's. As for Di Tian, he had already disappeared!
Hong Luo might have died, but his seal was still around. It might slowly weaken, but it would still take several hundreds of years before it completely disappeared.
Time passed by once again. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since Su Ming left …
During this half a year, White Bull Tribe and Black Crane Tribe mostly stopped paying attention to the mountain range that had disappeared. Peace returned to their tribe, and there were practically no more fights between the two tribes. Instead, during this half a year, they started preparing to migrate.
If a small tribe like theirs migrated alone, it would be difficult for them not to run into danger in the vast land of the Shamans. That was why even if they migrated, they would wait for the bigger tribes that were migrating to pass by this place and join them.
They might lose some of their people, but this was the only way for more of their tribe members to survive.
On this day half a year later, late at night.
A powerful ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky. That light only lasted for a moment before it disappeared. It might have caught quite a number of people's attention, but when they took a closer look, the light had already disappeared without a trace.
At the same time the light appeared, the small snake lifted its head swiftly at the spot where the cave abode had disappeared from the center of White Bull Tribe and Black Crane Tribe. Its eyes were shining with wariness, and its forked tongue flicked continuously as it stared at the empty ground several thousands of feet away from it.
There was a ball of dark light there. The moment that ball of light appeared, a powerful pressure spread out from it, causing the grass on the ground to bend, as if a huge gust of wind had been stirred up out of nowhere.
A large amount of freezing air also spread out from that ball of dark light. That freezing air fused with the wind, causing the ground around the area to freeze in an instant, and the chill gradually spread outwards.
The small snake did not make a single sound. It lay down on the grass and stared at the ball of dark light coldly. This was its Master's cave abode. Now that its Master had left, if there were any outsiders who trespassed into the cave, it would definitely protect it.
In truth, that was what it had been doing during the past half a year. Almost once every few days, it would bite the old Berserker so that he would remain weak, but not die.
It remembered that this was the task its Master had given to the monkey, but now that the monkey was no longer around, it had taken over.
At that moment, the small snake's gaze turned colder. It was waiting, observing just what sort of creature that ball of dark light was. Time trickled by, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the ball of light shone and its shape changed. It gradually turned from a circle to an oval, and the pressure spreading out from it became even stronger. At the same time, fine cracks appeared on its surface.
At the instant faint cracking sounds rang out, a figure walked out from the oval circle of light. At the instant this figure walked out, the freezing aura instantly became several times thicker, causing the area to turn into a frigid place!
The small snake moved swiftly and charged forward without a single sound. Its eyes sparkled and it bared its poisonous fangs. Just as it was about to bite down, the killing intent in its eyes suddenly disappeared and was replaced by pleasant surprise. It put away its poisonous fangs and let out a joyful hiss before charging towards the person.
That person … was Su Ming!
His face was filled with excitement. As he lifted his right hand, the small snake flew into his palm and started hissing at Su Ming in pleasant surprise. At the same time, the ground under Su Ming's feet seemed to contain an unimaginable amount of freezing air due to his appearance. As it spread to the ground, it immediately covered the ground with a thin layer of ice.
