Whoosh — —
Lu An appeared from the teleportation array, and what entered his eyes was a boundless desert.
Prince Qi was less than ten feet in front of him, both of them standing in the air. Lu An came to Prince Qi's side, asking curiously, "Where is this?"
"Sky Moon Forest." Prince Qi answered.
"Forest?!" Lu An was taken aback, once again looking around in astonishment. As far as the eye could see, it was all desert, where was the shadow of a forest?
Ignoring Lu An's bewildered look, Prince Qi descended from the sky and landed on the ground. She bent down and stretched out her hand to touch the sand on the ground.
Lu An followed closely behind, also landing on the desert. He also bent down to grab a handful of sand on the ground, trying to figure out what Prince Qi meant.
However, Lu An did not need to think, because Prince Qi said, "This used to be the largest forest in the Eight ancient continents, and also … where the Sky Tiger clan used to live."
Lu An's body shook violently when he heard these words.
He looked at Prince Qi in astonishment, then stood up again and looked around. He knew that Prince Qi would never lie to him, but he really could not imagine that this was once the largest forest!
Tigers naturally like to live in forests, and the Sky Tiger clan was no exception. Given the strength of the Sky Tiger clan, it was absolutely reasonable for them to occupy the largest forest. But looking at the barren land here, what happened?
"Back then, the Hachiko clan cleared out the powerful strange beasts on the continent. When the Dragons were torn apart, the first to bear the brunt was our Sky Tiger clan." Prince Qi rose to her feet, looking at the land. She, who had always been arrogant, unexpectedly became calm. "At that time, the Dragons were defeated and the other races thought it was just a war between the Hachiko clan and the Dragons. They did not realize that the Hachiko clan targeted all strange beasts. So when the Hachiko clan came to Sky Moon Forest and started the war, our Sky Tiger clan did not have time to react."
"— —"
Lu An listened to Prince Qi's words and looked at the vast desert, but it was hard to imagine what happened at that time.
"The Hachiko clan started the war in the morning. That's when our Heavenly Tiger clan was resting." Prince Qi continued, "Although it was a surprise attack, the Hachiko clan's strength is truly formidable. Even if we had declared war in advance, we still wouldn't have been their match. They had killed almost all the Heavenly Tigers in the forest, and only a few managed to escape. Luckily, our Heavenly Tiger Tribe doesn't live in herds. There are many Heavenly Tigers living in different places of the Eight Ancient Continents. That's how we could escape from the Hachiko clan's encirclement and continue our bloodline. "
"That battle destroyed the entire Sky Moon Forest," said Li Yundong. Prince Qi took a deep breath and said, "In this state, even if the tiger clan can return to the continent one day, they will forever lose their place of residence."
"…"
Lu An looked at Prince Qi. Although his heart was shaken and filled with grief and regret, he knew that he would never be able to understand Prince Qi's feelings.
"Not necessarily." Lu An thought for a while and said, "Can't the elves change nature? There are also many strange beasts that can change nature. If we invite them all here, perhaps we can restore this place to its original state? "
Prince Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Impossible."
Lu An was startled and asked, "Why?"
"Because it was the Hachiko clan's Gao Clan that acted," Prince Qi said indifferently. "You should know about the Gao Clan, right?"
Lu An's body trembled when he heard this. His brows furrowed, and he nodded.
The Gao Clan was the ultimate earth-attribute clan of the Hachiko clan.
He had seen the Gao Clan's young master, Gao Zhanxing. At that time, Fu Yu had even spent some time with Gao Zhanxing. He would never forget. Although he didn't have any opinions about this person, and this person hadn't done anything inappropriate to Fu Yu, he had always minded this person from the bottom of his heart, and even felt some hostility towards him.
"After the Gao Clan acted, it took more than ten thousand years for this barren land to grow this much vegetation." Prince Qi turned to Lu An and said, "You should have felt how hard the ground is, right? The Fairy Clan could indeed change this place, but it would take them at least a hundred years to do so. "
Lu An was silent. With his current strength, he couldn't say anything. In front of the Hachiko clan, he didn't have the right to speak.
At that moment, Prince Qi suddenly moved and flew forward at a low altitude. Prince Qi's speed wasn't fast, so Lu An hurriedly followed and flew forward together.
Flying at a low altitude, Lu An sensed the desert. Indeed, there was pitifully little vegetation, let alone living creatures. Prince Qi flew forward without a word, and Lu An didn't want to disturb him. The two of them flew through the desert for a while before Prince Qi stopped and landed on the ground. Lu An also landed beside him.
After flying for a while, they still couldn't see the end of the desert. This was enough to show how vast the Sky Moon Forest was. In front of the two of them was still a huge desert, and it didn't look any different from before. Lu An looked doubtfully at Prince Qi, only to see Prince Qi take a few steps forward and raise his hand. Suddenly, a huge rock was pulled out from the ground.
This kind of rock was very common in the desert. Lu An didn't know what Prince Qi was going to do, but when the rock was completely pulled out, Lu An's body shook.
There was a passage!
Lu An looked at Prince Qi in astonishment. Prince Qi turned to Lu An and said, "Follow me."
After saying that, Prince Qi leaped down the passageway. Lu An didn't hesitate and immediately followed.
Whoosh!
The passage wasn't very long, only about ten thousand feet long. However, after emerging from the passage, they still didn't touch the ground. Instead, they entered a huge space.
This space was probably more than forty thousand feet high, and its area was so large that it was difficult to estimate. Prince Qi and Lu An fell together. There wasn't a trace of light here, but everything within the range of their perception caused Lu An's body to shake.
Bang!
The two of them landed on the ground. Prince Qi raised his hand and swept it. Immediately, several flames flew out in all directions.
Whoosh —
Immediately, several flames lit up the stone walls above and rapidly spread in all directions. Obviously, there were many flammable rocks here.
The flames grew farther and farther away, completely illuminating this huge underground space.
As expected …
Lu An took a deep breath and looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes full of shock.
What entered his eyes were the corpses of Heaven Tigers!
Looking from afar, there were nearly ten Heaven Tiger corpses here. Each corpse was over ten thousand feet in size, enough to show their strength. However, these corpses had many cracks and signs of damage. Obviously, they were supported by external forces. Lu An turned to look at Prince Qi, waiting for his explanation.
"These corpses belong to our ninth rank clansmen who died in the war ten thousand years ago." Prince Qi said, "After that war, the Heaven Tiger clan gradually gained a foothold on the sea. Many clansmen didn't want their clansmen to die so miserably, so some clansmen returned here and picked up all the skeletons of the ninth rank clansmen. They also dug out a space underground and patched them up as much as possible, so that they could live here in one piece."
Lu An's heart tightened. No wonder he felt that many of the corpses here were very uncomfortable. This was very likely the result of not being able to find all the skeletons and could only be patched up forcefully.
The Tiger King started to fly in the air, and Lu An followed closely behind. Very soon, the two of them arrived at the bottom of a huge corpse. This corpse was clearly taller than the others. It was over forty thousand feet long and had a mighty aura.
"This is … the Tiger King from back then?" Lu An asked.
"That's right." Prince Qi nodded and said, "In order to allow more clansmen to escape, the Tiger King chose to stay and fight to delay the enemy. In the end, he died here."
"…"
Lu An looked at these huge corpses and then at Prince Qi. These corpses must have a special meaning to the Heaven Tiger clan. That was why Prince Qi would come back every once in a while to remind him not to forget the enmity from back then.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Prince Qi suddenly looked at Lu An and asked.
Lu An was stunned. After thinking seriously, he said, "If I know about the enmity between the Heaven Tiger clan and the Hachiko clan, will I be more determined to stand on your side in the future?"
Prince Qi smiled at Lu An's frankness, but she shook her head slightly and said, "No, I just want to tell you how strong the Hachiko clan is."
Lu An was stunned again and looked at Prince Qi in astonishment.
"It's said that the Gao clan that attacked our Heaven Tiger clan didn't come in full force. Only a portion of them came," Prince Qi said seriously. "After more than ten thousand years of development, the Hachiko clan will only become stronger and stronger. You want to become enemies with the Chu clan and the Kang Clan. I just want to use the corpses here to tell you how strong your opponents are. "
