On the way to the outskirts of the black market town.
"Why is the Sacred Mountains called the Sacred Mountains?"
This question sounded a little nonsensical, but Big Bluff's interest was piqued when he heard it. He answered Ren Xiaosu, "Actually, this mountain didn't have a name in the past. Everyone was so busy trying to survive in the wastelands that they didn't have the time to remember what the mountain was called. Furthermore, the landscape here changed after The Cataclysm. Later on, it wasn't until the Pyro Company set up a research laboratory here and placed it under martial law that the Pyro Company named this place the Sacred Mountains. "
"I keep getting the feeling that this name has a religious connotation to it. It sounds a little awkward," Ren Xiaosu muttered.
"It has nothing to do with religion. The Pyro Company only believes in genetic science." Big Bluff sighed and said, "It's just that there's a rumor circulating among a small number of people that this place is a holy land. The Kyung Clan has also defined the Jing Mountains as a holy land. But now that the Jing Mountains have been destroyed, no one dares to go in again. "
"A holy land?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Does that mean something like a god has appeared here before? How do you explain that?"
"I'm not sure about that. It's very difficult for the Pyro Company to infiltrate. Back then, I only dared to take a stroll around the periphery of the Sacred Mountains before leaving. I always felt there was an inexplicable danger lurking in there." Big Bluff said, "However, the Kyung Clan seems to have a lot of spies. They say that the holy land is a holy land because someone appeared there or was born there. The surrounding environment changed because of that person's appearance."
Ren Xiaosu had never asked Luo Lan about this before. Everything about the Jing Mountains was a memory from a long time ago.
However, Ren Xiaosu knew that Qing Zhen hated the Pyro Company very much. Based on Qing Zhen's character, he would indeed go to any lengths to understand his opponent.
Therefore, the rumor circulating by the Kyung Clan was very likely true.
"The Hallowed Grounds …" Ren Xiaosu muttered to himself. There was a Pyro Company's Research Lab 39 there, and it had somehow become the Hallowed Grounds. Could it be related to the No. 001 Experimental as well?
"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Big Bluff asked.
"Yang Xiaojin and I are both people who entered the Jing Mountain. We can only be considered lucky survivors in that collapse." Ren Xiaosu said in a low voice, "If the two hallowed ground are related, then we have to be careful. There might be a very terrifying creature in the Sacred Mountain."
On the way to the Jing Mountains, the black shadows in the river gave Ren Xiaosu a sense of danger. There were also fish bones, human corpses, Experimentals, and face bugs that had mysteriously disappeared. Some of these strange existences were probably not something even a supernatural being could handle.
But what worried Ren Xiaosu the most was what the massive creature living in the crater of the Jing Mountains was. Could there be one in the Sacred Mountains as well?
Ever since the Jing Mountains were destroyed by the lava, Ren Xiaosu had been worried for several months about whether that thing would emerge from the crater of the volcano. However, nothing happened in the end, so Ren Xiaosu had almost forgotten about that creature.
But how could he really forget about such a surreal creature?
If there were such a creature in the Sacred Mountains, everyone who entered the Sacred Mountains would probably be in trouble.
Ren Xiaosu and the other two were walking at the back of the group. Someone had suggested driving to the outskirts of the Sacred Mountains, but Cheng Yu vetoed that idea.
Cheng Yu was a cautious person. He would rather walk more than 100 kilometers in the wilderness on foot than drive on the main roads.
After all, the Sacred Mountains were the Pyro Company's territory. Only by being cautious could they survive longer.
At this moment, Cheng Yu turned around and shouted at Big Bluff, "Guide, why are you always muttering to yourself at the back of the group? Go ahead and lead the way. Where should we go next?"
Big Bluff replied as he jogged to the front of the group. "A normal person like me can't keep up with the speed of experts like you. My legs aren't nimble either, so isn't it normal for me to fall behind? You have a map with you, right? I'll draw out our route for you. "
Cheng Yu thought for a moment before getting his assistant to bring him a map. Big Bluff took the map and drew it as he said, "If we want to reach the outskirts of the Sacred Mountains, we still have to cross three mountains. We'll reach the foot of Mt. Fang tonight, Mt. Wuzhai in two days, and Mt. Shenchi in seven days. From the mountainside of Mt. Shenchi, we'll be able to see the outline of the Sacred Mountains."
Cheng Yu was a little dissatisfied. "Why do we need to walk for seven days to cover a distance of more than 100 kilometers?"
"It's because my legs are inconvenient. If y 'all think I'm slow, you can carry me. Or since I've already drawn the map, why don't y' all go there by yourselves?" Big Bluff bluffed as he drew the map.
Cheng Yu was so angry that he laughed. "Carry you? Why don't you just go to heaven? Just stay in the group obediently. Seven days it is. "
When they arrived at the foot of Mt. Fang that night, Big Bluff secretly told Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, "There's something I didn't tell them. I've been coming to the outskirts of the Sacred Mountains every year for the past few years. In the end, I discovered that the range of mutated plants is slowly expanding. So after we pass Mt. Wuzhai, we have to be careful and vigilant in case we fail miserably."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought he could get Zhou Yingxue to come here in the future. Didn't she have the ability to collect mutated plants? This was the best place to collect them.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu avoided Big Bluff and asked Yang Xiaojin in a low voice, "Are there any flaws in your ability? Let's communicate this to each other in advance so that we'll know each other's weaknesses when we fight others. For example, when I replicate Xu Xianchu's shadow clone, Old Xu, it will dissipate if someone hits it in the forehead. When I replicate Wang Congyang's Steam Locomotive, all the damage I receive will be reflected back to me in the form of pain. "
All supernatural beings' abilities had their own flaws. For example, Zhang Baogen, who could spit bubbles, could not spit them out if his mouth was dry.
An ability was born from one's willpower, but that did not mean it was perfect. This was a limitation of objective conditions.
Under normal circumstances, supernatural beings would never tell others about the flaws of their abilities. But this did not apply to Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.
Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment and said, "The flaw of my ability is probably that I can only fire a single shot with a sniper rifle. Every time I fire a shot, I have to reload and reload. The firing rate limits the use of my ability, so I always feel like I can't exert my strength."
Ren Xiaosu was a little stunned when he heard this. In previous battles, Yang Xiaojin's firing rate was extremely high. For example, in Luoyang City and the Li Consortium's stronghold.
If a single shot could already fire at such a high rate, what about a continuous shot?
Wait a minute, he had two black sabers and two black snipers, but Old Xu was not accurate enough to use a sniper rifle. It was not as efficient as carrying a heavy machine gun while charging.
Then could he let Yang Xiaojin use his black sniper rifle? As a matter of fact, the black sniper rifle had too many advantages. It had a longer effective range, did not require an additional flame suppressor, and did not require manual reloading. There was also a black bullet that Ren Xiaosu did not dare to use until now.
