"The Hengduan Mountain Range is an endless mountain range between the Meng Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom, and the Rain Country.
"Such a mountain range is naturally rich in resources, but the three countries rarely enter the mountain range. Even if they do, they don't dare to approach the core of the Hengduan Mountain Range. The reason is very simple. There is a rune academy in the Hengduan Mountain Range. It's called the Ash Cloud Rune Academy."
"With the academy as the center, a strange rune array is enveloped within a radius of a hundred miles. I heard that the rune array uses the veins of the earth beneath the Hengduan Mountain Range as its energy source, so its energy is endless.
"The reason why the rune array is strange is that no matter which beastman, even if you're a ninth level beastman, you won't be able to activate the Ferocious Beast Talent within your body. Even the Qi within your body can only activate the energy of a second level beastman at most, and it can only be activated through the special rune swords there.
"Because of this, the stronger beastmen don't dare to enter the Hengduan Mountain Range. They're strong outside, but weak inside. If they're not careful and lose their lives, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Hearing Jiang Zhixing's words, Lin Long couldn't help but ask in surprise, "There's really such a place?"
"Big Brother Lin, there really is such a place. If you want to become strong in this place, you have to work hard to improve your rune knowledge, because only then can you control the rune swords inside," Qinglian said.
Jiang Zhixing continued, "I heard that there are nine different types of rune swords inside: wooden, stone, copper, iron, silver, black gold, gold, purple gold, and dark. Wooden swords are the weakest, while dark swords are the strongest. They correspond to a person's rune knowledge."
"In other words, only those with a certain level of rune knowledge can master these rune swords and use them against enemies. The higher the rune knowledge, the stronger the rune sword?" Lin Long asked.
"That's right. That's right. That's why, in the Hengduan Mountain Range, nothing else is important except the study of runes. Even if you can kill a thousand people outside, you might just be an ordinary person inside," said Jiang Zhixing.
"The Gray Cloud Rune Academy does this to allow the people inside to work hard to improve their knowledge of rune knowledge. Because of this, the Hengduan Mountain Range is the holy land of all rune enthusiasts in the Cangyun Continent. Almost every rune enthusiast hopes to go there," Qinglian said.
Speaking up to this point, a trace of longing could be seen on her face.
"However, even though it's a holy land, it's an extremely dangerous place. That's why many people shrink back."
"Little Brother Lin, although you don't know much about runes, you seem to have an innate ability to sense runes. If you go there, I believe that you will definitely become a powerful runemaster."
"That's the only place where your enemy won't be able to easily kill you."
"There are many powerful Rune Masters inside. By then, you can ask them to help you remove the rune marks on your body."
Jiang Zhixing said.
"In that case, I must go to the Hengduan Mountain Range," Linlong said.
To be honest, after hearing what the two of them said, he had a yearning for the School of Runes.
"But before that, I still need you two to teach me a little," Linlong said.
Although he was considered a powerful runemaster, he did not recognize the runes in this world at all. If he were to go there directly, he would only be in the dark, so he naturally hoped that Green Lotus and Green Lotus could take this opportunity to teach him.
"Big brother Lin, don't worry. Leave it to me." Qinglian immediately said.
"If there's anything that I don't know, little brother Lin can also ask me. Of course, given Qinglian's strength, I don't think there's anything I can teach you." Jiang Zhixing smiled.
"Senior brother, you think too highly of me." Qinglian couldn't help but say.
Qinglian immediately began to teach Linlong about this world's runes.
Unknowingly, two days passed. It had to be said that the knowledge of runes in this world was extremely vast. Even with Linlong's strength, he had only grasped some of the basics.
In that case, it would naturally be better for Qinglian and Jiang Zhixing to continue teaching him. But after two days, his brows were slightly furrowed.
This was because he discovered that the medicinal power of the green pill in his body was clearly diminishing. If he did not leave this place as soon as possible, the girl in black would likely kill him.
Knowing that he could not stay here any longer, Linlong immediately said to Qinglian and the rest, "The medicinal power of the green pill in my body is already diminishing, so I have to leave."
"Then big brother Lin, please be careful on your journey." Although Qinglian was reluctant to see Linlong leave, she could only say such words.
If Linlong was still here, it would be very dangerous for them. It was naturally fine for her to be alone, but the problem was that there was still Li Cai and her brother.
As for Jiang Zhixing, he also had his family.
Qinglian naturally wanted to follow Linlong to the Hengduan Mountain Range, but she knew that she would only be a burden if she followed him. Thus, she naturally did not mention such a thing.
Just like that, Linlong left Qinglian and the rest and headed straight for the Hengduan Mountain Range.
The Hengduan Mountain Range was located in the center of the entire Cangyun Continent, and was quite far from here. After spending three days, Linlong finally arrived at the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
During this period of time, he faintly sensed the powerful aura of the girl in black. He did not know how she had approached him, but with his powerful divine sense and movement technique, Linlong did not let her find him.
However, if the medicinal power of the green pill in his body disappeared, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to avoid her.
As such, Linlong was even more eager to enter the Hengduan Mountain Range's Cangyun Academy's sphere of influence. Once he entered, it would be useless no matter how powerful the girl in black was.
Although the Hengduan Mountain Range covered a large area, the strange runic array did not completely envelop the mountain range. Thus, Linlong's current location was still not within the range of the strange runic array.
If Linlong directly flew inside, he would very quickly enter the range of the strange runic array.
However, Linlong did not do so, because there were many powerful flying type ferocious beasts in the sky above the Hengduan Mountain Range. If he directly flew over, he would definitely be surrounded by many of these ferocious beasts. At that time, he would likely lose his life before the girl in black could catch up. Thus, he naturally did not dare to fly over.
After landing on the ground, he sprinted forward.
Although he did not specifically find time to treat his injuries during this period of time, with the help of his powerful body techniques and top-grade healing pills, his injuries were already more or less healed.
After walking for a while, Linlong saw a group of 30 to 40 people in front of him. It seemed like a dozen rather powerful beastmen were escorting some people to the Cangyun Academy of Runes.
Among the dozen or so beastmen, there were seven or eight level-4 beastmen. There was a sedan in the middle of this group, and there were two level-4 beastmen on each side of the sedan. Linlong could not tell the specific strength of one of them, while the other was much weaker.
As for the other level-4 beastmen, they were scattered around, but their clothes were clearly different from the people beside the sedan.
As for the others, they were naturally walking in the middle of the beastmen. These people were also beastmen, but they were weaker. Basically, they only had the strength of a level-1 or level-2 beastman.
There were both men and women in this group. Most of them were men, and they were also relatively young.
Thinking that he did not know much about the surrounding terrain, Linlong thought of joining this group.
He immediately caught up with this group of people.
When they saw that Linlong actually dared to travel through the Hengduan Mountain Range alone, and that his strength did not seem to be very high, these people were naturally surprised.
Looking at Linlong, a middle-aged man with a full beard said, "Little brother, you are really bold. You actually dared to travel through this mountain range alone."
This person seemed to be the leader of the surrounding beastmen.
Linlong smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous inside, so I rushed over when I saw you guys."
He did not intend to reveal his strength.
Someone beside him said, "Then you are really lucky. You haven't encountered any danger for so long."
Another person said, "I see that you have some strength. Join our group. That way, you won't have to be afraid of danger."
Another person said, "That's great … But, I don't know if the rest of you will agree."
The middle-aged man with a full beard smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I say I agree, none of them would dare to disagree."
The others also smiled and said, "Since Brother Lu has spoken, how would we dare to disagree?"
The reason why they were willing to let Linlong join them was that he had a certain level of combat strength. Otherwise, if it was someone else without strength, they would probably be directly rejected.
"Why did you stop?" At this moment, an impatient voice came from within the sedan. Linlong could tell that it was a young man who was not much older than him.
The middle-aged man with a full beard said hurriedly, "Crown Prince, we are just resting for a while. We will leave immediately!"
Then, he called for everyone to continue moving forward. The reason why they stopped was naturally because of Linlong.
Linlong followed beside a level-three beastman and asked softly, "Big brother, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Lu, and my name is Huo," the other party answered.
This name is a little special, Linlong thought to himself. Then, he said, "My surname is Lin, and my name is Long."
"So it's little brother Lin," Lu Huo said, then pointed at the bearded man and said, "That is my big brother, Guo Lu."
"Oh." Linlong nodded, then looked at the sedan and asked softly, "Who is inside?"
"He is the son of the Meng Kingdom's King Mengci," the level-three beastman answered.
"So you are from the Meng Kingdom," Linlong said. Then, he asked curiously, "But you don't seem to be from the Meng Kingdom."
"Of course we are not from the Meng Kingdom. We are just escorting people into the Cangyun Runes Academy and specialize in earning some money."
"I see." Linlong nodded, then asked again, "But as a crown prince, does he still need someone to escort him?"
The Meng Kingdom was not small, and its strength was ranked at the top of the Cangyun Continent. That was why Linlong found it strange.
"With his status, he does not need it. But it seems that he came to us because he came too suddenly. Of course, this is also because they are afraid of any accidents. Otherwise, just the two level-four beastmen would be enough to escort him to the Cangyun Runes Academy," the other party answered.
"Do we often encounter powerful beasts along the way?" Linlong asked again.
"Usually not, but it is better to be safe than sorry," the other party said.
Linlong nodded to show that he understood.
After listening to the other party's words, he naturally understood that these people were escorting the crown prince, as well as other seemingly weak people. Although these people were weak, they were still heading to the Runes Academy. It went without saying that they were all rune enthusiasts.
"Roar roar roar …"
After walking for a while, the low roars of fierce beasts suddenly sounded in front of them. Then, a pack of fierce beasts suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was a pack of black wolves. There were about twenty of them, and there were actually quite a few level-four fierce beasts among them.
Seeing these fierce beasts, the bearded man and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. They were most afraid of encountering this kind of pack of fierce beasts. Fortunately, these black wolves did not seem to be that many.
It would be troublesome if they came in a pack.
They were still fine, but the faces of the weaker people instantly turned deathly pale.
"Uncle He, what happened?" At this moment, a voice came from the sedan.
Although the voice was soft, Linlong's divine will naturally understood it.
The other party was obviously talking to the level-four beast beside the sedan. In the next moment, the most powerful and somewhat unfathomable level-four beast, Linlong, opened his half-closed eyes and said, "Crown Prince, we encountered some black wolves. But it's not a problem, they will be dealt with very quickly."
"That's good," the crown prince said.
As he said that, he lifted the curtain in front of the sedan chair and glanced around before putting the curtain down.
Linlong had long noticed that the other party was not strong, so he did not pay attention to them at all.
If it wasn't for the identity of the crown prince, he would not have asked just now.
It was also at this moment that one of the black wolves that seemed to be the king of the wolves let out a low roar. Then, the black wolves in front of them immediately rushed towards them from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, a black wolf beside Linlong rushed over. This black wolf only had the strength of a level-three beast, so Linlong naturally did not take it seriously.
Lu Huo, who was beside Linlong, looked as if he was facing a great enemy. After all, he was not a level-four beast.
Linlong casually attacked with his sword. He did not use the strength of a level-four beast in this attack, but he used the Profound Wind Sword Technique. With the exquisite Profound Wind Sword Technique, the black wolf that rushed over was immediately slashed in the neck by his sword.
With a muffled sound, the black wolf was sent flying by Linlong. Not only that, half of its head was almost chopped off by Linlong's long sword.
After falling to the ground and desperately walking a few steps, the black wolf directly fell to the ground. Even if it did not die, it did not have any fighting strength left.
"Little Brother Lin is really powerful!" Seeing that Linlong could actually kill the black wolf with a single sword strike, Lu Huo was naturally extremely surprised.
At this moment, he was already fighting with a black wolf. As for the others, they were also in the same situation. The crown prince's two level-four beasts also joined the battle.
The number of black wolves far exceeded the number of beasts that could fight, so some of them fought one against two, while some even fought one against three.
Therefore, although they had long since confirmed that these black wolves would not cause much trouble for them, the battle was still very intense.
Some of them were even injured if they were not careful.
