The three leading the group were Yuanying. They couldn't be considered to be from any orthodoxy, as they were all things thrown down by the so-called gods from the fruit platter thousands of years ago. They were all jumbled together, and no one knew which god's orthodoxy they had learned from. In any case, the gods themselves didn't care.
Feng Linghan was a man of striking appearance, and his actions were graceful. He was a distinguished and elegant character. In the orthodoxy of body meridians, there weren't many who could cultivate to such a level and still maintain such a graceful posture!
He looked disdainfully at White Rock Mountain behind him, and said righteously, "A bunch of scoundrels, only knowing how to hide on the mountain and watch. What a waste of your physique, yet you don't even dare to face a few insects!"
Standing beside him was a standard burly body cultivator. He was nine feet tall, with a leopard head and hoop ears. His upper body was bare, revealing his iron-like muscles. On his back was a huge machete, majestic and murderous!
"There are more than a few insects! Even if you want to show your fearlessness, you don't need to use such a method, right? The people on White Rock Mountain are indeed cowards, but at least they know how to count! "
His name was Long Xiong. Although he was also standing here, he had no feelings towards the sissy beside him. They were competitors! The goal of the competition was the third place, Yuanying, a delicate and pretty girl, Qi Xiaomei.
There was no dual cultivation here, but there were feelings. As a rare female body cultivator, Yuanying, being able to reach this step and still maintain her feminine charm was rare in this world. It was precisely because she was rare that she attracted countless prying eyes.
Unfortunately, this girl was different from the rest. Although she was Yuanying and had the strength to stay in the Central Ring District, she never showed her disdain. However, she had never bothered to show her status in the Central Ring District. Since the day she started cultivating, she had been in close contact with these so-called powerless cultivators. Among the cultivators who helped these good-for-nothings, there were many who really wanted to win her favor because of their own ideals. Not only were there Yuanying cultivators, but there were also Jindan cultivators!
Trapped in this world for tens of thousands of years, without any contact with the outside world, without any knowledge or hope, the cultivators here should not be called cultivators. Their state of mind was not broad enough. How could a person who had spent his whole life in a well compare to a person who often looked at the sea?
Therefore, some things that seemed inconceivable to cultivators in the outside world were very normal inside the nut. For example, two Nascent Soul cultivators were fighting over a woman. At the end of the day, it was just to reproduce and establish a family so that they could have a good bloodline.
Everyone had a purpose. If there was no purpose, it would be instinctive. Although these two men also had a purpose because of their instincts, they were still a helping hand.
Qi Xiaomei's inheritance was also the Body Meridian Inheritance. However, she had also read many Daoist jade slips and books in addition to the Body Meridian Inheritance. These pure Daoist things were very rare now. This was because the gods outside no longer imparted Daoist thoughts to the realm. No one listened, no one believed, and no one practiced. What was the use of imparting?
However, tens of thousands of years ago, when the direction of cultivation in this world had not yet been determined, there were still some such inheritances. Because no one practiced them, they gradually declined. Qi Xiaomei saw some by chance and thought deeply about it. Therefore, her way of thinking was somewhat incompatible with others.
She did what she thought she should do and did not care about anything else.
As the leader of these ordinary mortals, no one had actually conferred this position upon her. It was only because of the long period of contact that these so-called mortal body refinement warriors had developed a sense of respect for her. After a long time, even if no one had suggested anything, she had naturally become the spokesperson of these people.
Of course, she was not the only cultivator with such thoughts. Among the cultivators with her, most of them also had their own thoughts. They were not like Feng Linghan and Lao Xiong, who had their own personal goals.
As an accomplished cultivator, she could clearly feel that the tremors under her feet were slowly intensifying. She knew that when this earthquake reached a certain level, terrifying crawling insects would appear and cover the sky and earth. Even if most of the nearly two million people in this world practiced body techniques, they would still pale in comparison to the number of crawling insects.
Once these crawling insects burrowed out of the ground, they would follow the scent of humans and gather more and more. White Stone Mountain was the destination and goal of all the crawling insects. It was hard to say whether it was the best idea for everyone to gather together. This would instead attract the crawling insects faster. However, compared to spreading out and resisting, choosing the lesser of two evils was probably the only way.
All the humans in this world had gathered here. They had been waiting here for several months. This kind of waiting made people despair because they were not waiting for hope, but for death!
After the first three waves of crawling insects, more than half of the population had died each time. Who could guarantee that they would be the lucky one if they had to choose one out of two? Of course, the death rate in the periphery of White Stone Mountain was higher. As long as the humans in the center were not extinct, they would usually have the last laugh.
Among the hundred thousand people behind her, it would be nonsense to say that everyone was weak. Even if they were body cultivators who could not build their foundation, they were still much stronger than ordinary mortals. The problem was that there were no ordinary mortals here, so they were just ordinary mortals. Their little bit of strength was not a problem in normal life, but in front of the crawling insects with tough skin and thick flesh, it was all a problem. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were all armed with sabers and axes. Even if they swung their sabers and axes, they might not even be able to split open the crawling insect's shell!
Even if it was useless, they still had to make arrangements! The stronger ones were in the periphery. Inside were women, children, and the elderly. She had repeatedly suggested that these people who did not have the ability to protect themselves be arranged into White Stone Mountain, but she was ruthlessly rejected by the higher-ups!
It was very cruel, but they had their reasons! Being weak did not mean being kind! Secondly, during the third wave of insects, these people who did not have the ability to resist were arranged into White Stone Mountain. However, the strong people who stayed behind reported that as soon as they saw the insect wave, they immediately collapsed without any organization. This was because they no longer had any worries!
Therefore, during the fourth wave of insects, the higher-ups refused to provide shelter for these people. If they wanted to protect their families, they had to do it themselves!
Everyone had to do their best so that there would be hope in this world. Others would protect your family, but you had to run away yourself. What were you thinking?
These two hundred or so cultivators with some strength all volunteered to provide protection for these ordinary mortals. However, to what extent such protection could be achieved, only God knew. In fact, Qi Xiaomei was very clear in her heart that they might be able to withstand the harassment of a small group of crawling insects. However, once they gained a little momentum, they would definitely be defeated.
Clearly knowing, but having to do it, this was the Daoist principle of what to do and what not to do. It might be very stupid, but if you could survive such stupidity, it would be a different world for the individual.
She believed in this, so she persevered!
