The Fire Crow transformed into a beam of light and flew across the sky. Ji Hao was standing on its head, looking down.
Cawing shrilly, the Fire Crow folded its wings and flew through the tens of zhang wide gap between two precipitous mountains. Suddenly, the area in front of the Fire Crow was broad and clear. Surrounded by mountains, a valley that was over a hundred miles long and over thirty miles wide at the widest part of the valley suddenly appeared in Ji Hao's sight.
The Gold Black Mountain, the Holy Land of the Fire Crow Clan, was the Gold Black Mountain. The Fire Crows, which had built their nests in the mulberry trees in the Gold Black Mountain, were the most powerful battle beasts of the Fire Crow Clan, just like the Fire Crow Clan's clansmen.
At the end of the valley, a ten-mile wide mulberry forest was planted. Countless bird nests were built between the branches. Large groups of Fire Crows, which were around two feet long, were hovering above the forest, but didn't make any sound.
When Ji Hao and the gigantic crow flew into the mulberry woods, all the fire crows hovering in the air landed on the trees one after another, silently staring at Ji Hao and the gigantic crow. They slowly spread their wings, put their chests close to the tree branches, and paid their respects to the gigantic crow in their own unique way.
Ji Hao leapt down from the Crow's back and whistled. The Crow flapped its wings, transformed into a beam of fiery light, and rose into the air. It hovered in the air for tens of miles, then flew towards the top of the Gold Black Mountain.
The blood-red eyes of countless baby Fire Crows all focused on Ji Hao, and an extremely strange and solemn sense of power filled the entire mulberry forest.
Ji Hao waved his hands to greet the baby Fire Crows, then moved forward along a three-foot wide, winding path in the mulberry forest.
A gentle breeze blew across, swaying the branches and leaves of the mulberry forest, making a rustling sound. Looking from a distance, the mulberry forest, which was only tens of miles in radius, suddenly became especially deep and broad. Ji Hao rushed forward along the path for a small quarter of an hour, leaving shreds of afterimages in the air. After running for nearly fifty miles, two gigantic mulberry trees appeared in the front, reaching straight into the clouds. The trunks of these two trees were so thick that it would take a hundred people to wrap their arms around them to encircle them. However, these two trees couldn't be seen from outside the dense forest.
The two mulberry trees were about seventy to eighty feet apart from each other. Tens of huge branches were intertwined, forming an arched gate, which was emitting a faint fiery light. Ji Hao walked into the arched door. Waves of heat rolled around him, and a boundless dense jungle appeared in front of him.
At the edge of the jungle, a huge wooden house was built with logs that were as thick as a few men. On top of the wooden house, there was a thirty-meter-thick wooden pillar, which was hundreds of meters tall. On top of the pillar, a thousand-meter-wide wooden platform was built. A golden Fire Crow skeleton with a wingspan of over a thousand meters was standing proudly on the platform.
Even though only a skeleton was left behind, the skeleton of this Fire Crow emitted an extremely powerful primitive aura that was vast and boundless, and it was like a vast ocean had enveloped the entire dense forest. At first glance, the skeleton looked like a blazing sun floating in the air hundreds of feet above the ground.
What was surprising was that this Fire Crow skeleton had three leg bones. This was the remains of a three-legged Fire Crow.
Ji Hao looked at the skeleton of this Fire Crow, which was still releasing an incomparably proud, inexhaustible will of fighting, and still didn't want to fall down even after it had died. He deeply bowed to it three times, and silently prayed for a few times.
Ji Hao slowed down his steps, walked to the front of the huge wooden house with light steps, walked to the twenty-meter-tall wooden door, and peeped into the house through the crack of the door.
The space inside the wooden house was extremely broad, enough to accommodate over a thousand people.
The floor of the wooden house was paved with thick and heavy stone strips, and a two-zhang square and wide fire pit was left in the middle of the house. A huge bonfire was blazing, and a cleaned and skinned beast was being grilled. The beast meat had been grilled to a golden color, and a large amount of fat was dripping into the bonfire. The wooden house was filled with a dense aroma of meat.
Tens of huge clay wine jars were placed beside the bonfire in a straight line, allowing people to take whatever they wanted. From time to time, scrawny elderly people or tall and sturdy men would grab those wine jars, and pour the wine bowls, which were carved out of stone, into the air.
Tens of scrawny elderly people and a similar number of sturdy men were sitting around the bonfire. Everyone had been eating the meat and drinking the wine with a straight face. Except for the sound of cutting the meat with stone knives and filling the stone bowls with wine, the only sound that could be heard in the entire wooden house was the burning sound of the bonfire.
When Ji Hao arrived, a big half of the beast meat that was grilled on the bonfire had already been eaten up. After Ji Hao had been looking around for less than a quarter of an hour, even the bones of the beast meat had been chopped into pieces, and all the marrow had been dug out and eaten by those sturdy men. All the wine in the wine jars had been emptied, not even a drop of wine had been poured out.
A sturdy man, who was over three meters tall, with long hair tied into an arm-thick braid behind his head, and a pair of narrow and long snake-like eyes, abruptly grabbed a wine jar that had been standing beside him, and slapped it hard on the ground. The wine jar and the stone strips that had been placed under the jar were smashed simultaneously.
The thunderous noise broke the deathly silence in the wooden house.
"You've eaten, you've drunk enough, let's get down to business!" The sturdy man slowly stood up, and a wave of heat spread out from his sturdy body. His body seemed to have filled up the entire wooden house, and even the space inside the house seemed to have become much smaller.
"Ji Xia, you're not the most powerful warrior of our generation like you were ten years ago! Look at you, you're just a bag of bones, ever since your Magus Acupoints were broken ten years ago, you're no longer a Senior Magus, you're just an ordinary clansman! "
The sturdy man pointed at another sturdy man who was sitting beside the bonfire and facing the door, and yelled, "What qualifications do you have to be the leader of the Fire Crow Clan's warriors? What qualifications do you have to lead the Fire Crow Clan's guardian warriors? What qualifications do you have to lead the Holy Land of our clan? "
The sturdy man, who had been pointed at and questioned, slowly stood up. He was extremely muscular, even a head taller than the man who had provoked him. However, not a single muscle could be seen on his muscular body, and his skin was tightly attached to his bones, making him look like a skeleton, which could even be blown away by a gust of wind.
Ji Xia, Ji Hao's biological father, used to be the most powerful warrior of the Fire Crow Clan.
However, when Ji Hao was born, he had been attacked in the Ancestral Temple of the Gold Black Mountain. In order to protect Ji Hao and his wife, Ji Xia had been seriously injured by the Black Water Serpent Clan's enemy. During the past few years, Ji Xia's body had been withering day by day, and many people believed that he had already lost his former strength.
Ji Hao clenched his fists and stared at Ji Xia. The scenes of Ji Xia fighting fiercely to protect himself kept flashing in his mind. Ji Xia's sturdy body forcibly blocked the shameless sneak attacks and wild attacks of the enemy, tenaciously protecting his young and tender little life.
Ji Hao could still clearly remember how hot Ji Xia's blood had been when it had splashed on his body.
Narrowing his eyes, Ji Hao took a deep glance at the sturdy man who had stood up and provoked him.
Ji Xia stood still, smiled gently and said, "So, brother Ji Zhuo, what do you think?"
Among the crowd, a young boy, who was much shorter than the sturdy man beside him, suddenly dashed out, pointed his finger at Ji Xia's nose and yelled, "Old trash! Do you even need to say it? Just take your Qing Yi Clan's woman and that little bastard and get the hell out of here! Let my father be the leader of the Fire Crow Clan's warriors and guard our Holy Land! "
The young boy raised his head and yelled, "In a few days, the worship ceremony will be held. All the leaders of the Fire Crow Clan will come to the Holy Land to worship our ancestors. In front of so many of our clansmen, just get the hell out of here! "
'Old trash'? Calamity Hag?
Ji Hao laughed out loud. He was so angry that he leapt up and kicked the heavy door open, ignoring the fact that this cabin was a solemn place for the Fire Crow Clan to discuss important matters.
The two doors bumped heavily against the wall. Along with a thunderous bang, Ji Hao rushed into the cabin.
"Little bastard, who are you scolding?!" Ji Hao cursed, locked his hands together and spat out a ball of flame from the bonfire, wrapping the young boy up.
The flame burned the boy's hair and eyebrows into a wisp of smoke.
