The place where the old chief lived usually required a large eagle to go up and down. However, this was only a bird after all, so it was not completely reassuring. Therefore, there were many round holes left on the cliff walls. When necessary, one only needed to insert a wooden wedge to climb up and down. ↑,
Zhan Lu had secretly come here to visit his sister many times before, so he was familiar with the route. Although his body was small and skinny, he was only slightly shorter than the old and frail clan leader. He was also very agile, so he didn't need to use a wooden wedge at all. He just dug into the stone hole and climbed up.
Just as he was about to reach the top, he placed his hand on a protruding edge, exerted his strength, and slipped into a stone crevice.
The stone crevice was more than a hundred feet wide, but it was only as wide as an adult's shoulder. He had to use both his hands and feet to climb the holes on both sides. After a hundred breaths, he reached the stone cave and poked his head out from below.
At this moment, the maids on the cliff were also restless. They couldn't help but jump in fright when they saw a head suddenly pop out. When they saw that it was him, they heaved a sigh of relief and rebuked, "So it's this little monkey. You scared us to death."
The moment Zhan Lucai came up, he looked around with wide eyes and asked, "Where is Sister?"
"Looking for your sister," A slightly older woman smiled and pulled him up, patted the dust on his body and said, "Your sister was chosen by the shaman to be his personal attendant, she has been out for half a day."
Another female servant said enviously, "Little monkey, you're so lucky. Xiao Ying has become the high priest's servant and can live a good life. Poor us, on the other hand, have to serve that old man all day long."
"Sister left with the shaman? Why didn't you tell me? "
Zhan Lu mumbled. After all, he was still young and had the temperament of a child. He didn't have that many complicated emotions. Since his sister had left, it was better for him to leave earlier.
He looked up. He said seriously, "Those demons are coming up soon. Sisters, you should leave quickly."
Most of these maids were already eighteen or nineteen years old, and they found it very funny to see a child speaking with such a serious expression. The slightly older one came up and patted his head, saying, "Little monkey, don't be afraid. With the Old Patriarch leading the people to deal with the demons, it should be fine. "
Zhan Lu still wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion below, and then he heard a mournful scream.
The maidservants glanced at each other and cautiously walked over. They stretched their necks to take a look, and their faces immediately turned deathly pale. One of the younger girls among them even let out a cry of alarm.
He saw a strange red-crowned bird pouncing on the eagle, pressing it to the ground. At this moment, it was using its slightly curved beak to peck at flesh, leaving broken feathers and blood everywhere.
There were still two other strange birds circling on the side, but due to the might of the red-crowned strange bird, they didn't dare to go up and fight for it. At this moment, a cry of alarm came from above, startling them. Two pairs of eyes immediately stared over, and with a caw, they circled around. He rushed up.
The cavern hall above was spacious and couldn't block the two strange birds at all. One of them was incomparably ferocious. Just Now, it rushed in and grabbed a waitress with its mouth.
The rest of the waitresses immediately screamed and fled. These women's bodies had been smeared with the juice made from boiling herbs for a long time, and the fragrance was fragrant. It originally covered the smell of their bodies very well. If they didn't make any sound, the strange bird wouldn't have discovered them even if it was close at hand. But that cry of alarm, exposed them.
At this moment, the other strange bird also leaped up. The Claw Hou raised its wings, and the hair on its head stood up. It cawed at the scene, and the waitresses felt as if they had been hit heavily in the head. All of them bled from their mouths and noses, and fell to the ground.
Zhan Lu also felt dizzy, but at this moment, the necklace with the bone piece hanging on his neck flashed, and he immediately sobered up. He rolled on the ground, and leaped into the rocky peak that Just Now came up from.
Above him was dark, and there was the sound of flapping wings, and a gust of fishy wind drifted down. Then, the strange bird stuck its head in, and almost hooked him.
However, this rocky peak was narrow, and its huge body couldn't squeeze in at all. So, it flapped its wings again, and tried to find a larger gap on the outside to squeeze in.
Although Zhan Lu was very afraid, he didn't give up on survival, and did everything possible to stick to the rock wall.
After the strange bird tried many times to no avail, it screeched angrily. Its two sharp claws clasped onto the rock, and it used its sharp beak to peck at the rocks at the side, causing gravel to fly everywhere. It seemed to be trying to force a passageway through.
However, the rocks on the outside had been eroded by wind and rain for a long time, and were somewhat loose. The inside was very hard, and it couldn't be broken in a short time. This monster tried to stick its head in a few times, but it was just a little bit away from touching Zhan Lu.
This demon bird was called "Seizing Horn", and it had always been greedy and unintelligent. It would often stare at a target, and even though the waitresses outside were enough to fill its stomach, it still wouldn't let go of the moving prey in front of it.
At this moment, Zhan Lu had nowhere to go. There was still a strange bird above him, and there was a cliff below him, so he could only stay here obediently. Thus, the man and the bird were in a deadlock here.
Yuan JIngqing was already close to the place where the cliff was located. He released his spirit shuttle to investigate, and within a radius of several thousand miles, this was the only place where the tribe was gathered. However, at this moment, the entire Zhan tribe had already been breached, and it was a scene of chaos from afar. Many monsters were gnawing on the rock wall, and he couldn't help but frown. His gaze shifted downwards, and a vast aura surged. All the monsters first stiffened, and then they all fled in terror.
He flicked his sleeve, and a cloud of black mist flashed past. A delicate and pretty boy came out, and he bowed and said, "Master."
Yuan JIngqing said coldly, "If one runs away after cleaning it up, I'll hold you responsible."
The boy responded, and with a sway of his body, he transformed into a Black-Scaled Black Jiao that was six feet long, and chased after the monsters.
Yuan JIngqing swept his gaze again, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some weak aura at the side of the cliff.
He leaped up, and saw a child hiding in a crevice of the cliff. He retracted his aura into his body, and with a sweep of his mana, he brought the child up.
Zhan Lu only felt his vision blur, and he felt that he was already moved to the top. He saw a person in a black robe standing in front of him, and his hair was tied up in a bun. His skin was like jade, and his gaze was unusually sharp. It seemed like he wasn't easy to get close to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Yuan JIngqing asked, "You're from this tribe?"
Zhan Lu nodded, and he looked around. He saw broken limbs and bodies everywhere, and it was a bloody mess.
Yuan JIngqing said, "There's no need to look. When I arrived, you were the only one left alive in this tribe."
It wasn't easy for the Zhan tribe to survive, and there were people dying almost every day. Life and death were common, and Zhan Lu was used to it since he was young. However, now that he heard that he was the only one left, his heart felt empty and sad. He raised his head and asked, "Sir, are you a Mystic cultivator?"
Yuan JIngqing was slightly surprised.
After this journey, he also knew that Mystic cultivators were the cultivators in this realm. However, this was something that only the leaders of the tribe knew about, and now a child actually knew about it. It was obvious that his background wasn't simple.
"I'm not a Mystic cultivator, what's your name?"
Zhan Lu saw that he wasn't a Mystic cultivator, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't want to say his name, so he lowered his head and said, "They all call me Little Monkey."
Yuan JIngqing said, "If they call you that, then what's your real name?"
Zhan Lu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm Zhan Gun."
Yuan JIngqing said plainly, "Your voice is high-pitched, your gaze is erratic, and you don't have much confidence. Maybe there really is such a person, but you're definitely not him."
If he wanted to investigate someone, the simplest way was to use the shuttle to shine into the person's heart. However, seeing that Zhan Lu was young, he was afraid that doing so would hurt his spirit, so he didn't do it.
Zhan Lu still wanted to say something, but Yuan JIngqing suddenly looked down, "Is there anyone in your tribe with the word 'Lu' in their surname?"
Zhan Lu was pierced by that gaze, and his little face tightened as he shook his head repeatedly.
Yuan JIngqing said, "The people in your tribe are almost all dead, and there's no need for you to deny that there are people who escaped. Therefore, this person is most likely you. Your tribe is named after the Zhan family, are you called Zhan Lu?"
Zhan Lu said loudly, "Not me."
Yuan JIngqing was even more certain. He scanned Zhan Lu from head to toe, and suddenly, something flew out from Zhan Lu's body and floated in mid-air. It was a shell, and there was an ancient rune on it, which was exactly the same as what Zhang Yan had shown. Yuan JIngqing knew that he had found the right person, but he wouldn't argue with a child, so he said, "Kneel down and acknowledge me as your master."
Zhan Lu turned and ran.
Yuan JIngqing, however, stood still and watched him leave.
Zhan Lu climbed down from the cliff, and used the rope to slide down the cliff. He ran towards the forest at the back of the cliff, and even fell a few times along the way, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up. After all, his mind was simple, and in his panic, he didn't think about whether he could escape or not.
Just Now, he had been confronting the demons for a long time, and he was already tired. He didn't eat much, and his body didn't have much strength. After running for a short distance, he started to pant.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "It's useless for you to run like this, and it's just using brute force. Do as I say, your body is like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, and your breath is clear and turbid, turning Yin and Yang …"
Zhan Lu could only feel the words being stuffed into his head, and he unconsciously did as he was told. He felt a gust of hot air pouring down from the top of his head, at first it was a small wisp, and then it became more and more. Soon, the hot air flowed through his limbs and bones, and his breathing actually calmed down. He felt like he was immersed in a pool of warm water, and he gradually forgot himself.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a dense forest. Sunlight shone down from between the branches and leaves, and shone on his body. It looked like a day had passed.
He turned his head, and realized that there was a huge, ferocious demon head lying not far from him. He was instantly shocked, and he crawled up with a grunt, and retreated backwards.
A voice came from behind, "You're awake."
Zhan Lu turned his head, and saw that the black-robed man from yesterday was standing not far from him. Beside him stood a child about his age, and the child was looking at him with a curious gaze.
Yuan JIngqing said, "This demon is the culprit behind the attack on your village yesterday, and I've already killed it.
I've already killed it. Are you willing to come with me? "
Zhan Lu still shook his head.
Yuan JIngqing asked calmly, "Why?"
Zhan Lu grabbed the bone piece hanging on his neck, and raised it up high, and said, "I'm a student of Black Cloak Platform. You're not a Mystic cultivator, I want to be a Mystic cultivator!"
"Mystic cultivator?" Yuan JIngqing thought for a while, and said, "Where is Black Cloak Platform that you mentioned?
Zhan Lu didn't know where it was, and he only said according to Mo Wen's words, "Shenfang Country."
Yuan JIngqing nodded, and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look, and see what kind of tricks this Mystic cultivator that you mentioned actually has."
