White Lotus led the way up the mountain, and Jiang Wang braced himself to follow behind.
A giant mountain spider with a ferocious appearance crawled right in front of them, but didn't seem to care about them at all.
"Other than when they're extremely hungry, these vicious beasts usually won't attack each other." White Lotus told a not-so-funny joke: "It's probably because they all know that their meat is too disgusting to eat."
Because they had already entered a place filled with vicious beasts, White Lotus's voice was a bit softer, but it wasn't to the point where it was very noticeable, probably because it wasn't necessary.
Jiang Wang didn't make a sound. He carefully observed the vicious beasts they encountered along the way, and found that not a single one attacked them.
"You can talk, but these vicious beasts can't understand you. They thought you were barking. "White Lotus asked:" What are you thinking about? "
"I'm thinking, why hasn't anyone thought of such a simple method? There are so many smart people in the world. Especially the two previous Tri-Mountain City Lords, they were both heroes of their time. "
"There's only one reason." White Lotus's laughter sounded from the side: "Because there are even more smart people who are preventing people from thinking about these things. Sun Heng and Dou Yuemei are of course very good, but they don't understand what vicious beasts are, and don't have the opportunity to truly understand. "
"Who are these smart people you speak of? Why are they doing this? "
"I can't give you an answer. Because the real answer is in your heart. "White Lotus's tone changed, and she became relaxed:" Alright, let's go this way. "
She seemed to be very familiar with Alioth Peak, and the path she chose was clearly much less vicious beasts.
At this time, the low roar of a beast came from a rock in front of them. It was a cat-shaped vicious beast. It wasn't very big, and it didn't even look vicious.
"This poor little guy probably took over this place as its territory." White Lotus explained to Jiang Wang: "However, it's too inconvenient for us to take a detour."
As she spoke, her body suddenly moved.
Jiang Wang still saw her afterimage in front of him, but she had already stabbed a dagger into the head of the cat-shaped vicious beast.
Blood flowed out quietly, and the beast's roar stopped abruptly.
"In a place like this, it's best not to use Dao techniques because the ferocious beasts are generally very sensitive to Dao techniques. In particular, some ferocious beasts that could use Dao techniques would treat you as a competitor for territory. If we make a big commotion, it will be very troublesome. "
As Bai Lian explained, he casually tossed the beast far away. "Like this, the other Ferocious Beasts won't feel that it's an invasion of a foreign species. Instead, they'll just see it as an ordinary fight between Ferocious Beasts. If the corpse is left here, the hungry beasts will still choose to eat it. "
"You seem to … know a lot about Direbeasts," Jiang Wang said.
"Well, if you're this tall." She gestured with her hand at her abdomen. After thinking for a moment, she moved her hand down a little. "When you're about this tall, you'll be thrown into a group of ferocious beasts. You'll understand them very well."
"What's wrong?" She suddenly moved closer to the silent Jiang Wang. "Did I scare you, little brother?"
Jiang Wang didn't say anything.
"Tsk tsk tsk." She shook her head and said, "Don't look at me with such sympathetic eyes. We live in this world. It's really hard to say who's more pitiful. "
"Emotions like pity don't mean to belittle a person. Every normal person has a heart of compassion. It's a positive emotion that makes people more tolerant and understanding. "Jiang Wang paused." When I was young, my father said so. "
"Not bad, you know how to have tender feelings for the fairer sex." White Lotus snorted softly. "But if you saw my repulsive face under my veil, would you still have tender feelings?"
"My tender feelings are for that little girl who lost her head in a group of ferocious beasts. It has nothing to do with what she looks like. "
"I didn't lose my head in a panic." White Lotus muttered in a low voice. She raised her voice and said, "Walk faster!"
Jiang Wang was baffled by her scolding, but he could only follow and speed up.
In all fairness, Yuheng Peak's scenery was beautiful. Regardless of whether it was trees, stones, flowers, or flowers, there was something to be admired. If it weren't for the ferocious beasts that could be seen everywhere, this should be a place filled with tourists.
In the previous battle to clear out Yuheng Peak, Tri-Mountain City had mobilized almost all of the city's forces. They had even invited a lot of foreign aid, but they had only stopped halfway up Yuheng Peak.
But now, Jiang Wang was following White Lotus. With just the two of them, they easily passed the halfway point and walked towards the peak.
In front of them, there was a huge rock that stretched across the peak, forming a natural high platform.
White Lotus stopped here.
Jiang Wang followed her to the bottom of the "high platform". Only then did he discover that there was a cave under the huge rock. It seemed to have been formed naturally. The cave was extremely deep, so deep that he couldn't see the end.
White Lotus walked into the cave and stopped at the entrance. She took off the beast skin and spread it on the ground. Then, she sat down on the beast skin.
"Sit, why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Wang did the same. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "What are we doing here?"
"Waiting."
Jiang Wang discovered that whenever he sincerely had a question to ask, White Lotus would become as taciturn as gold. On the contrary, when he didn't have anything to say, White Lotus would keep teasing him.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything. From this angle, he could see the lingering clouds. At this time, the sun was hanging in the sky, illuminating thousands of li of mountains and rivers. As far as the eye could see, the mountains were hidden in the clouds. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
Jiang Wang withdrew his gaze and began to examine the cave they were in.
White Lotus explained, "This is the Mountain Spider's nest."
Jiang Wang couldn't help but look into the cave. "Then where's the Mountain Spider?"
"It's sleeping inside."
"Then what do we do when it wakes up?"
White Lotus looked at him like he was an idiot. "Of course we kill it."
Perhaps because she felt that it was too boring to talk to Jiang Wang with this kind of IQ, White Lotus took out something that looked like a formation plate from her bosom and placed it in front of her.
"From now on, don't speak, and don't move."
This formation plate was probably engraved with some kind of concealment and silencing formation.
As Jiang Wang pondered, he really didn't move or speak. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
During this period of cultivation, the Bone Lotus on his spine hadn't affected him in any way. If White Lotus hadn't suddenly come to find him, he probably would've slowly forgotten about this matter.
If there had to be a change, the biggest change in the Heavenly Connection Palace wasn't the second Starry River Vortex that was about to take shape.
It was his Dao Vein True Spirit.
As everyone knew, the Dao Vein True Spirit would grow and strengthen as it traveled through the Dao Vortex. But before completing the Great Heavenly Cycle, there would be almost no visible change. Before opening the Heaven and Earth Gate, there would also be a rare qualitative improvement.
But Jiang Wang's Dao Vein True Spirit, the Earth Dragon, was already dotted with specks of starlight, and its body had clearly grown larger. Although there was no change in the amount of Dao Energy it absorbed, it was clearly much easier to cultivate.
In addition, Jiang Wang had a vague feeling that the Dao Vein True Spirit seemed to be closer to the black candle, but he couldn't be sure.
Jiang Wang had always been a cultivation fanatic. Once he entered a cultivation state, it was very easy for him to become immersed. As a result, he didn't notice that when he began to cultivate, the way White Lotus looked at him had changed.
It was a dazed and infatuated look.
