The daemon wolf suddenly stiffened, and all of its hairs stood on end as if it had been frozen in Li Qingshan's vision.
Li Qingshan said, "Oi, is there a strange daemon wolf over there?"
"That's very normal. This is the world of wolves." Gu Yanying continued onwards without even looking back.
"The Wolf God is basically your uncle! You've come to his territory, yet you're not even going to pay him a visit? "
Li Qingshan understood. The Skyfrost Wolf King of the Ten Daemon Kings, as well as the second boss of the Hawkwolf Guard that stood on par with the protector hawk god, watched over the Frost province.
"Have you ever seen a hunter whose hawk and hound are good friends?"
"Fair enough. Compared to the Dragon province, this really is a land of bitter cold. No matter how close they are to their master, a hound is still not as loved as a hawk! "
As a result, Li Qingshan no longer paid any attention to the daemon wolf. He made his way into the depths of the valley with Gu Yanying.
The daemon wolf shuddered and heaved heavily. What a terrifying gaze. It's basically on par with the Wolf King's. No, I need to report this to the Wolf King immediately! It turned around and leapt up, vanishing into the wind and snow.
"You're wrong about that. My uncle Wolf was the one who requested to come to the Frost province. Not only is he a Daemon King, but he's also the lord of a province, or as the people of the Frost province call him — the great chanyu. "
"The human cultivators of the Frost province actually agreed. Where's the original great chanyu?"
"He was wiped out when Great Xia was founded. The Frost province is vast and sparsely populated. Mortals all live as nomads, and their method of cultivation is rather, uh, ancient! You should have seen quite a lot in the Mist province. There are far more tribes than sects. Occasionally, a tribe can unite the Frost province and become the great chanyu, but they've never formed a true country. "
Li Qingshan had a deep impression of the tribes of Bone Eating shamans. They were called "ancient", or primitive and savage. The boundary between humans and daemons was extremely blurry. Perhaps humans were even more daemonic than daemons at times. In short, everything was based on strength, and the strong were revered. Accepting a wolf as the great chanyu was a matter of course.
"It really is a world of wolves. The reason why this place has become a forbidden zone probably has something to do with the wolf god!"
"Not bad. Do you feel a little sleepy?" Gu Yanying suddenly asked.
"Sleepy?" Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. He had almost forgotten what it felt like to be sleepy. However, after hearing what Gu Yanying said, he suddenly remembered something. He actually felt a little bit of it. It was like the lingering laziness of a summer afternoon.
As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of whiteness. The scenery was nothing special. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He opened his mouth and blew hard. The wind and snow flew back. Rolling up the thick layer of snow, it was actually densely packed bones that filled the entire valley.
Li Qingshan was no longer the kid he used to be. Such a scene was nothing to him. He asked doubtfully, "Did he kill them because he was sleepy?"
"All living beings that enter this valley will be seized by uncontrollable drowsiness and fall into a deep slumber, never to wake up again. Of course, what killed them wasn't sleepiness, but hunger, thirst, and cold. The deeper we go, the more tired we feel. Even with our cultivation, it's hard to resist. "
"Even the Demon King can't resist sleepiness. How interesting."
Li Qingshan had imagined that the forbidden area would either be filled with traps or poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. He did not expect it to be a place that could make people sleep. Thinking about it, the traps were no match for the School of Mohism. The poisonous insects and ferocious beasts were no match for the demons. He had seen many of these, but it was still far from being a "forbidden area".
"What kind of power is causing this?"
Any kind of power must have its source. If he could find the source of such a powerful power and further control it, it would be amazing.
"That's why I'm here!"
Gu Yanying ignored the piles of bones under her feet and stared into the depths of the valley.
She had already investigated it. This power was definitely not the cause of the formation. There must be something here, and it was most likely not a living being. Otherwise, it would be able to constantly release such a powerful and mysterious power.
What she needed to do was to control this power, make the Winged Man King fall into a deep slumber, and then pluck that feather.
"This is one of your goals!"
"Yeah. Just treat it as helping me out!" Gu Yanying smiled easily.
"Then how are you going to resist this sleepiness?"
"Through the Scorching Wind Hell. Pain always clears people up! I came here once before I underwent the third heavenly tribulation. My original plan was just to test it out, but I never thought the sleepiness would accumulate so quickly. I almost died here. Fortunately, the scorching wind flared up at a fixed time, which was why I survived. "
"Is it really that powerful? Why don't I try it? We'll split what we get. "Li Qingshan was rather eager.
"Alright, we'll split what we get. However, the most dangerous part of the forbidden area isn't in the valley, but outside."
"Wolves hide thousands of kilometers."
Li Qingshan remembered the words he had heard when he first joined the Hawkwolf Guard. As the lord of the Frost province, even if the Wolf King could not obtain the mysterious power of the forbidden area, he would never allow anyone else to touch it. The reason why Gu Yanying could retreat last time was not just because of the Scorching Wind of Hell, but also because she was the daughter of the Hawk God. If it were anyone else, they probably would have died to the wolves as soon as they emerged from the valley.
"Then why didn't you let me kill the wolf daemon?"
"It's the same. The Wolf King will discover it sooner, and once they start fighting, it'll be a battle to the death. It's probably his sons and grandsons."
"Alright then. I'll keep watch for you here. You can go!"
Gu Yanying sucked in a deep breath. Scorching wind rose up from her body, turning the snow into rain. She gradually rose up, connecting with the Scorching Wind Hell as much as she could, absorbing the Tempest of Hell into her body.
The scorching wind rushed over, and Li Qingshan experienced bone-deep pain. He frowned as well. This was only the aftermath. Standing at the centre, the pain Gu Yanying endured went without saying. However, within the twisted air, there was only comprehension on her face. As a matter of fact, she even smiled strangely.
"What a deviant woman!" Li Qingshan muttered.
"What did you say?" Gu Yanying suddenly opened her eyes.
"Nothing."
"If my Uncle Wolf comes, what are you going to do?"
"I'll ask him to buy me a drink." Li Qingshan shrugged.
"Shuangzhou's liquor is famous." Gu Yanying hesitated. "If I fall asleep, pull me back."
Li Qingshan was a little surprised. He gave her a deep look and said with a smile, "Don't worry!"
Gu Yanying slowly flew to the depths of the valley so that she could get used to the drowsiness. However, the drowsiness was getting stronger and stronger without any evil intention. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was very young and could easily fall asleep.
A half-human, half-bird figure appeared in her mind. It was not as elegant and noble as the Winged Man. It had an eagle's beak on its face, and its hands were crooked claws. Its body was covered with gray feathers, but it still looked like a human. Its voice was also sharp and hoarse.
"Monster" was the most accurate evaluation of it.
"Father, they all called me a monster!"
