Sand flew up like rain, and a huge monster popped out from the sand. For a moment, it was hard to see what it was, but more than a dozen huge tentacles stabbed at Yue Qianchou in the air. Yue Qianchou quickly flew out, but after flying for a short distance, his expression changed. He felt that while he was using his cultivation, the true essence in his body was being consumed several times.
Alarmed, he quickly landed on a sand dune dozens of meters away. At this time, he did not have time to investigate the reason for the rapid consumption of true essence in his body. He turned around and stared at the monster that popped out from the sand. He saw that after the monster popped out of the air and spread its tentacles, its arm span was almost more than 30 meters. It was like a big umbrella opened in the air, setting off a storm of sand that fell from the sky …
Big octopus? Yue Qianchou looked at the big guy that popped up in the air and then fell down, stunned. The monster with more than a dozen huge tentacles looked very much like an octopus, but it seemed that an ordinary octopus did not have so many tentacles, nor was it so big. The strangest thing was that its body seemed to be covered with black scales the size of a palm.
After letting out two painful howls, the big guy fell straight from the air and smashed into the sand, motionless. One of the huge tentacles fell two meters in front of Yue Qianchou. At the end of the tentacle, there was a sharp black claw that looked like a fang.
A burst of black smoke came out from the top of the big octopus's head, and its huge body was withering at a visible speed. Then, it spread to the dozen or so huge tentacles. Not long after, the huge monster turned into a pile of ashes on the sand. This was the terrible result of being burned by the black fire …
Yue Qianchou did not know whether this big guy was an octopus or not. In any case, he did not know what kind of monster it was. He looked at the black fire extinguished saber in his hand with a dignified gaze. Using the fire spell to maintain the saber did not consume much true essence, but now that he carefully examined it, he found that the true essence consumption was greater than usual. At first, he did not notice anything unusual, but when he fiercely circulated his true essence while flying, he found that something was wrong.
Previously, he had thought that it was the monster's doing, but now that the monster was dead, he discovered that revolving the fire art to maintain the saber was still consuming his Quintessential Essence. Clearly, it had nothing to do with the monster.
What the hell was going on? Yue Qianchou looked around suspiciously, but didn't find anything unusual, so he put away the broadsword. As a result, Yue Qianchou stared blankly for a moment before suddenly shooting up into the sky. After circling twice in the air, he suddenly understood everything and quickly landed on the ground.
It turned out that as long as he used his cultivation technique, he would discover that there was an unknown force in the world that was quietly extracting the True Essence from his body. The more True Essence he used, the more True Essence would be extracted from his body. In short, the consumption was proportional to the extracted True Essence, which was one to one.
In other words, the consumption of True Essence to execute a technique here was double that of outside. Yue Qianchou found it hard to understand. How could such a strange thing happen in the same world? Could it be because of the Heaven and Earth Great Formation that sealed the Eastern Holy Land?
Just as he was puzzled, he saw a cloud of dust billowing in the distance. There were more than ten people riding fast horses galloping on the sandy ground, galloping towards him at high speed. Yue Qianchou scratched his head in confusion. Weren't the people sealed in the Eastern Holy Land the experts of the Netherworld and Immortal World? Why were they riding horses at such a tortoise-like speed?
In a short while, more than ten people arrived in front of him. They slowed down and circled around him. Yue Qianchou sized them up in surprise. It seemed that their expressions weren't very friendly, and they were staring at him with hostility. However, what made him feel the most strange was that these people were obviously mortals. They were very different from the experts in the Eastern Holy Land he had imagined.
The more than ten people on horseback all had strong and sturdy bodies. They had bronze-colored skin and were very muscular. Their long hair was tied into many whips, and they even wore feathers on their heads. Their necks and wrists were adorned with animal tooth jewelry. Most of the skin on their bodies was exposed, and only some of the important parts were covered with cloth. On their waists were crudely cast knives, and there were even some who carried animal tooth spears on their backs. These people's dressing reminded Yue Qianchou of the Native Americans in his previous life. Their styles were quite similar.
One of them made Yue Qianchou's eyes light up slightly. It was actually a beautiful woman. She had a strong and voluptuous body. Her two slender thighs with beautiful curves clamped on the horse's belly. Her full breasts were wrapped in animal skin. Coupled with her bronze-colored skin, she was filled with a wild beauty. It made people want to conquer her with a single look.
However, she wore a five-colored feather on her head, and the knives on her waist were of much better quality than the others. She also had the appearance of being supported by the crowd. She seemed to be the leader of these people. If one looked carefully, they would discover that on the naked arms of these people, there was a similar pattern drawn. It was exactly the same as the monster with many tentacles that Yue Qianchou killed.
A man next to the wild beauty suddenly waved his hand and pointed a hundred meters away. He exclaimed, "Garland, look." Everyone's gaze followed. Yue Qianchou also couldn't help but look back. He discovered that it was the ashes left behind after he killed the monster.
The two men rode their horses and galloped over. They circled around the pile of ashes and examined it. Then, they quickly galloped back. One of them nodded and said, "Garland, it should be the remains of a man-eating octopus, but it seems to have been burned to ashes by someone. The commotion just now should have come from here. "
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yue Qianchou. They were somewhat in awe. The wild and sexy beauty asked, "Did you kill the man-eating octopus?" Her gentle voice was mixed with undisguised brutality. It gave people a pure and natural feeling. It was very pleasant to listen to.
Yue Qianchou shook his head without hesitation and said, "I didn't kill it. The person who killed it has already flown away." He spread his arms and made a flying gesture. It was as disgusting as it could be. The reason why he didn't admit it was because he felt that he shouldn't take responsibility for everything before he understood the situation. It wasn't safe! In addition, from the pattern on these people's arms, he deduced that the dead monster might be their totem. If he admitted it, he might offend them!
The group of people looked at each other and exclaimed, "Immortals!" Yue Qianchou's eyebrows trembled slightly when he heard that.
After the shock, the beauty called Garland asked doubtfully, "Which tribe are you from? How can you barge into our tribe's territory with your bare hands? "
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was speechless. He felt very conflicted. Damn it! Is this the Eastern Holy Land? Why does it feel like I've come to a primitive society? He scratched his head and thought for a while. He pointed at his head and said, "I lost my memory. I can't remember anything. After I woke up, I found myself here. "
He lied casually, but this was the least credible lie in the long history of his lying. There was no other way! He didn't know anything about the situation here. Although the people in front of him were all mortals, who knew what kind of background they had.
"Lost your memory?" Garland said in a daze. The group of people on horseback were dumbfounded. They looked at each other. Someone said to the person beside him, "Elder Meng from the tribe seems to have lost his memory because of his old age. He can't remember anything."
Big brother! That's called Alzheimer's, okay! Yue Qianchou was speechless. Another person said, "I heard that someone in the tribe fell off his horse and hit his head on a rock. In the end, he also couldn't remember anything."
Garland waved her hand and stopped everyone's discussion. She stared at Yue Qianchou and said, "Looking at your gorgeous clothes, your attire isn't ordinary either. You should be someone from a faraway city. If you're from a nearby tribe, we'll definitely know you. " She looked around and continued, "There are often ferocious beasts around here. It's not safe for you to be here alone. Why don't you go back with us first? When you remember anything, we'll decide what to do!"
What a kind person! Even if he lost his memory, he would still believe it! Yue Qianchou nodded repeatedly in agreement. He was still worried about not understanding the situation here. It would be best to go back with them and ask for some information.
Unexpectedly, a man beside Garland stared at Yue Qianchou and said, "Garland, this person's eyes are flickering. One look and you can tell that he's not a good person … If we bring him back, what if he's a spy sent by some tribe? The fence gathering is about to begin. We have to prevent anyone from betraying us warriors. Besides, how are you going to explain to the tribe elders if you suddenly bring a stranger back? "
You're the one who can tell that you're not a good person! Yue Qianchou cursed inwardly, but pretended that he didn't understand.
Seeing that the others also nodded in agreement, Garland seemed a little hesitant. But when he saw Yue Qianchou's obedient and pitiful look, he immediately said decisively, "Bring him back first and have someone guard him. I'll explain to the tribe elders. If they don't agree, it won't be too late to drive him away. Bodo, give him your horse. "
The one called Bodo was the strong man who stopped Yue Qianchou from going back. He nodded helplessly and said, "Alright!" He jumped off the horse, pulled the reins over, and stuffed them into Yue Qianchou's hands.
Garland asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" Yue Qianchou nodded. Garland nodded and said, "Follow us." With that, he took the lead and galloped away. Bodo climbed onto the back of another man's horse. The two of them rode side by side, and the group galloped away.
Yue Qianchou turned back to look at the indistinct Xuan Xuan Island in the distance. He jumped onto the bareback horse without a saddle, pulled on the reins, and kicked the horse's belly with his heels. The horse's hooves kicked up yellow sand, and he quickly chased after the group of people in front of him.
After about fifteen minutes of running, they finally ran out of the yellow sand. Green grass began to appear around them. Not long after, after turning around a valley, a vast forest appeared in front of them. The group of people directly rode into the forest. After passing through the deep forest along a winding path, their eyes suddenly opened up. A wide lake as clear as a mirror lay quietly in the depths of the forest. It made them feel like they were in a fairy tale …
