"A holy relic?" Lu Ye frowned.
"That's the general meaning. You can also understand it as a totem," Yi Yi continued. Yiyi continued to explain, "They've been with Giant Armor for a long time. Giant Armor can help their pack increase their strength, so they won't let Giant Armor leave … The alpha also said that we can leave and they won't stop us."
Lu Ye had come this time to bring Giant Armor to meet up with Fourth Senior Brother and Feng Yuechan. If he couldn't bring Giant Armor with him, then what was the point of coming here?
Of course, they could force their way out. With his and Giant Armor's current cultivation, they could fly even without flying spirit artifacts. This pack of demon wolves didn't seem to have the ability to fly, so there was no way they could catch up to them.
However, demon beasts had reached this level of strength. Even if they didn't have the ability to fly, they still had the means to attack enemies in the air. If they really acted rashly and angered them, they might not be able to escape safely.
It was a little difficult.
As if sensing Lu Ye's thoughts, the head wolf suddenly howled at him. Hu Po wasn't to be outdone and responded with a tiger's roar. In the next instant, demon essence surged from the hundreds of giant wolves, and a biting cold murderous intent lingered in all directions.
Lu Ye immediately felt a prickling pain on his skin and raised his hand to press down on the Mountain Pan Saber.
Just as swords were about to be drawn, Giant Armor suddenly raised its fan-like palm and slapped the head wolf on the head, causing it to stagger.
"Behave!"
The head wolf shook its head, and the ferocity in its eyes quickly receded. The hundreds of giant wolves also quickly went into hibernation, becoming harmless to humans and animals.
Lu Ye clicked his tongue in wonder.
Judging from the current situation, Giant Armor did indeed have an unparalleled position in the hearts of this pack of wolves. As the head wolf, it actually didn't have the slightest bit of temper after being beaten. This wasn't a reaction that demon beasts should have.
Giant Armor indeed didn't know the way of beast taming and had never controlled these demon wolves before. However, the help he had brought to the wolf pack during this period of time gave him the capital to control the entire pack.
The lowered head wolf glanced at Giant Armor, then at Lu Ye, and let out a few low howls.
Yi Yi immediately said, "It said that we can leave if we want to, but we have to bring them along. They want to follow Giant Armor. They'll go wherever Giant Armor goes."
Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why were they still bargaining?
Who would have thought that such a big person like Giant Armor would be latched onto by a group of Demonic Beasts? Such an encounter had probably never happened in the entire history of the Cloud River Battlefield.
If the beast tamers were to see this, they would be shocked to the core.
However, it was obviously unrealistic to bring along such a pack of wolves. Demonic beasts were extremely valuable to cultivators. If he really brought them out of here, it would only attract a lot of trouble.
But since they had already said that, if they did not take the wolves with them, they would definitely not let Giant Armor leave. Following Giant Armor was already the biggest concession they could make.
If he really tried to force his way out, the pack of wolves wouldn't attack Giant Armor. They would only attack him. Although the alpha wolf looked obedient and docile in front of Giant Armor, it was only limited to Giant Armor.
Lu Ye frowned. Things had become difficult.
Leave the giant armor behind? With the protection of such a pack of wolves, Giant Armor would not be in too much danger normally. It could also be like a fish in water in Mount Taimang.
However, the strange phenomenon caused by Giant Armor's cultivation was a problem. Previously, it had already attracted so many cultivators to investigate. There was even a large group of Demonic Beasts surrounding it. Although it had passed so many days peacefully, there was no guarantee that an accident would happen at any time.
As his thoughts fluctuated, Lu Ye suddenly realized a problem.
The reason he wanted to take Giant Armor away was to meet up with Fourth Senior Brother and Feng Yuechan. Then, he would find a suitable place to set up a Class A spiritual land. Fourth Senior Brother and the others were in charge of choosing a spiritual land. A few days had passed, and there had been no news from them. It was obvious that they were still searching.
It was not easy to find a suitable place. First, there had to be a certain degree of concealment. Secondly, there had to be enough geographical advantage …
Mount Taimang seemed to be a good choice?
This was a naturally dangerous place. Powerful Demonic Beasts gathered here. Although many cultivators came here to hunt Demonic Beasts, they would never go too deep. Therefore, as long as the location was chosen deep enough, the spiritual land could reduce the risk of being discovered by cultivators.
Since this pack of wolves had to follow Giant Armor, it meant that they were the natural guards of the spiritual land. With such a huge force, even if they went deeper into Mount Taimang, they would have enough power to protect themselves and deal with most dangers.
Therefore … there was no need to take Giant Armor away. Placing the spiritual land in the depths of Mount Taimang seemed to be a better choice!
Thinking of this, Lu Ye's heart suddenly became clear. He felt like he had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Looking up, those calf-sized wolves also became much more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, the premise of all this was that the wolves were loyal enough to Giant Armor! If they were not loyal enough, no one would feel safe surrounded by such a pack of wolves.
However, judging from the current situation, there was no problem with the wolves' loyalty to Giant Armor. After all, they still needed to rely on Giant Armor's cultivation to increase the strength of the pack.
"Hu Po, let it bring us to a quiet and safe place."
Hu Po growled at the alpha wolf. The alpha wolf responded from time to time, then raised its head to look at Lu Ye. Its wolf eyes were filled with a human-like expression.
After a short while, the alpha wolf turned around, lowered its head, and pushed Giant Armor, who was standing beside it, onto its back. With vigorous steps, it rushed into the depths of the forest.
Over a hundred wolves followed closely behind.
Lu Ye also flipped onto the tiger's back. With a few quick steps, Hu Po scuttled to the alpha wolf's side, running side by side with it.
Galloping all the way, they continued to go deeper into Mount Taimang. Lu Ye took out a map to compare.
Their current location could already be considered as a relatively deep location within the Tai Mang Mountains. Generally speaking, the demonic beasts that roamed about in this location would not be too weak. Normally, if a cultivator were to pass by this place, it would definitely not be safe. Who knows when a hidden demonic beast would attack.
However, wherever the wolf pack passed, not a single monster dared to provoke them.
Lu Ye even saw a monster with a vigorous aura far away from the place where the wolf pack must pass. Only after the wolf pack left did the monster roar a few times symbolically, as if venting its dissatisfaction with the wolf pack trespassing into its territory.
More than half a day later, the wolf pack stopped in a valley.
The valley's scenery was picturesque. Colorful flowers vied with each other, and birds chirped and insects chirped.
The area of the valley was very large. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one of the sides was against a cliff. From the top of the cliff, there was a waterfall, and the rumbling sound of the waterfall could be heard. Looking up, the splashing water reflected a rainbow-colored glow under the sunlight.
There was a river under the waterfall, and there were many wild beasts drinking water beside the river.
"So beautiful!" Standing on Hu Po's head, Yi Yi looked at the waterfall and the rainbow in a daze.
There were very few people who knew that within this dangerous Tai Mang Mountain, there was actually such a paradise.
Lu Ye checked the map carefully. The map marked this place as Huitian Valley.
He flew around the valley on his magic tool, but didn't see any traces of monsters.
It was a good place. Not only was the scenery beautiful, the environment was pleasant, and there was a natural barrier. If Giant Armor cultivated again in the future, even if some strange phenomena occurred, it would be easily covered by the barrier around the valley, so it wouldn't cause such a big commotion.
"Lu Ye, Lu Ye." Yi Yi cheered. "Let's choose the spiritual land here, okay?"
She obviously had the same idea.
Lu Ye nodded. "I'll send a message to Fourth Senior Brother."
He raised his hand and tapped on the battlefield imprint, sending a message. "Fourth Senior Brother, do you have any news about the spiritual land?"
Li Baxian quickly replied, "Don't worry, Little Junior Brother. I'm looking for it."
"I have a suitable place here."
"Oh? You found it, Little Junior Brother? Where is it? "
"Mount Taimang, Huitian Valley."
After waiting for a while, Li Baxian didn't reply. He was probably checking his map and comparing it with the specific location of Huitian Valley.
After a while, Li Baxian replied, "Little Junior Brother, this location is too deep into the Taimang Mountains. That place is not safe. If we really place the spiritual land there, we can reduce the risk of being discovered, but the demonic beasts there are not to be trifled with."
"The situation is a bit complicated. Senior Brother and Senior Sister Feng, come meet me first. You'll know when the time comes."
"Okay." Li Baxian didn't ask too much. Lu Ye called him to meet up, so he immediately set off with Feng Yuechan.
After ending the message, Yi Yi asked, "What did Fourth Senior Brother say?"
"They're on their way here. It'll take a few days. Let's use these few days to familiarize ourselves with this place and scout the surroundings to see if it's suitable to put the spiritual land here."
"Okay."
Having made his decision, Lu Ye immediately took action. Although he had circled around the valley and found nothing special, he still needed to be more cautious. After all, some Demonic Beasts were naturally good at hiding. This kind of innate ability was even better than the Ghost Cultivator's Art of Concealment.
Giant Armor also checked the surroundings.
It was worth mentioning that wherever he went, the wolf pack followed, especially the alpha wolf. Its eyes never left Giant Armor, as if it was afraid that he would run away.
After half a day, Lu Ye had clearly checked the surrounding hundred miles and confirmed that there was indeed no danger here. Other than some wild beasts, there were no traces of other powerful monsters.
Night fell, and the full moon hung in the sky.
The wolf pack gathered around Giant Armor, staring at him with eager eyes, obviously waiting to cultivate with him.
However, Giant Armor was not in the mood to cultivate. He was currently gathered around the bonfire with Lu Ye, staring at the snake meat that was sizzling over the bonfire and swallowing his saliva.
Ever since he separated from Lu Ye, he had been living in the open. Especially in the past two months, he had been in a state of silence and hadn't had a full stomach for a long time.
Hu Po was also at the side, eating the raw meat in large mouthfuls. A large piece of snake meat quickly entered his stomach, but he was still not satisfied. He ran over to Lu Ye and nudged him with his head. Lu Ye then took out another piece of snake meat.
Soon, the snake meat was cooked. Lu Ye and Giant Armor ate it separately. Although the two of them were very different in size, there wasn't much of a difference in the way they ate. Even the snake bones crunched as they swallowed the meat whole.
