Chapter 301: The exact whereabouts of the Godblood Stone
Yuan Zhan was somewhat puzzled, but in such a puzzle, the anger and murder that had just shrouded him seemed to dissipate a lot, as if a billions of years of iceberg had suddenly been put into the boiling magma.
Yan Mo flicked his finger across the corner of his eye. "Man, do you know you're bleeding from your orifices?"
Yuan Zhan raised his hand to wipe his nose and saw his handmatted with blood. He didn't really feel it, but it was also because Yan Mo felt it so fast and he stopped him as soon as he had any signs.
"The Python-fish meat..." Yuan Zhan only talked about this. Looking at Wei-Sa, who seemed to be listening to them with his ears up, he temporarily changed his voice: "The people of Weise caught me. The one named Wei-Yi was among them. I simply tortured them. The Wei-Yi had no brain to do something like that.’
"You killed them all?" Yan Mo carefully held the man's pulse and frowned tighter and tighter.
Yuan Zhan raised his other hand and stroked his thumb across Yan Mo's brow. "No, they are still alive."
Yan Mo and Wei-Sa breathed out secretly. Wei-Sa was grateful that his tribesmen had not died. Yan Mo was reluctant to kill Yuan Zhan. Although, according to the guide, Yuan Zhan and other tribal people's actions would only be translated into his actions as long as they were specifically ordered by him, no one wanted a partner who was too murderous.
"Hey-! Mo-Mo, found the enemy!" Jiu Feng whipped in from outside the cave, saying only he went to find Da-da. When he saw Da-da and Ding Fei rolling in a group and not playing with him, he flew out angrily, intending to catch a big fat beast and come back to slap Da-da and Ding Fei.
"The enemy?" For Yan Mo this was the first to hear Jiu Feng use this word.
Jiu Feng flew to Yan Mo's head and complained, "Hey! Those Two Legged Monsters shot me with ice blocks, thanks to my fast escape! Enemy! Mo-Mo, let's kill all of them!"
"You can't beat them?"
"How is it possible?" Jiu Feng suddenly fell, and his little wings trembled and shook. "I fanned them around, and they were buried by ice and snow." Hey Hey!"
Yan Mo imagined the scene, shivering with cold, and told Yuan Zhan about it.
Wei-Sa's face was black and blue. He had stayed outside the cave to guard. He should have been hiding, but he was still discovered by these people. He could feel his hand, but he still could not move by much.
Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo and said, "I'm going to dig out some people."
"Be careful not to remove the gold needles on your face or disturb them."
Yuan Zhan nodded and left quickly with Jiu Feng.
Yan Mo watches Yuan Zhan's back and his eyebrows wrinkle again.
Just now Yuan Zhan's pulse told him that this man has reached the threshold of 7th Rank and he was rising to 8th Rank, and that the suppressed fire energy in his body seems to be activated and revived.
Too much energy is accumulated in the molten soil that been revved up by the bloodstone and it was beyond the limits of what Yuan Zhan's body could handle. When he reached 7th Rank, his body was already struggling. 8th Rank... There's almost nothing but violence in his body.
He has saved Yuan Zhan once with The Soul Return Pill, which means The Soul Return Pill is no longer effective for Yuan Zhan.
If Yuan Zhan died this time, he would not know how to save him.
In fact, there is another way to save Yuan Zhan, but he knows that Yuan Zhan may prefer to be violent and die and he not willing to choose that way.
Wei-Salaid on the ground waiting for a sensory response and watched Old-man Yan.
He could sense the old man's distress, but he did not know what he was distressed about. Is it because the tall warrior bled on his nose? He heard the warrior mention the Python-fish flesh. Did the old man worry about where to find a woman to his warrior?
But the warrior was so stifled that he bled through his nose...
The Weise Tribesmen, frozen into ice blocks outside the cave, and the Weise Tribesmen, imprisoned underground by Yuan Zhan, were thrown into the front cave together.
Yuan Zhan smashed the ice blocks and imprisoned them. He saw that Mo was too cold to stretch his arms and legs, and then he set off several fires.
The opening of the cave was sealed and there is a fire pile. The temperature in the cave is gradually rising. The pitiful Weise Tribesmen were shivering with cold. Except for a two-level blood warrior, the others had little resistance to the power of ice and snow. They came to the cave and felt as if they were in heaven, crying in their hearts to live.
The Weise Tribesmen, who had been caught by Yuan Zhan before, were still alive, as he said, but they did not fare much better.
Yan Mo looked at the people thrown to the ground by Yuan Zhan, raised his eyebrows and poked at him. "You're really going to make trouble for me. These people are like this. Do you think I'll cure them or not?"
Wei-Sa saw the scars on his Tribesmen. Everyone seemed to have been tortured and almost killed once. The light of hatred flashed in his eyes, but he bowed his head and did not let Yan and Mo notice it.
Yuan Zhan, who had clenched his fist and had a needle in his head, felt the obvious difference. He seemed to be awake, but was actually controlled by anger. Now he saw the Weise Tribesmen who had died of bleeding if they hadn't frozen the wound in the sky, but felt a trace of regret, not for almost killing them, but for not killing them. He is sorry to waste his priest's energy and herbs on them. If he hadn’t eaten the Python-fish meat, he would never have done such a foolish thing.
"Get me a stone platform and let Ding Ning come and help me. You see, we can't let these people die anymore." Yan Mo was helpless.
"By the way, let Jiu Feng catch another snakefish and bring it over."
Yuan Zhan produced a high stone platform used by Yan Mo, lit a fire, planted torches around the wall of the cave, and sealed the entrance of the air-filled cave. Without saying a word, he went to Ding Ning with a head full of golden needles.
It turned out that this man was a god-blood warrior who could control the soil and rocks. Wei-Sa saw all this in his eyes. When he saw that Yuan Zhan controlling the soil so freely and that his Tribesmen had no defense to the man, he began to speculate on the origins of the two men, and he was sure that there was absolutely no one in the neighboring tribes who could dress up and compete like that. Are they from other Mid-Cities or just Tucheng-Earth City?”
The Obscuri Tribesmen came after hearing the news and saw so many live The Weise Tribesmen that the Obscuri Tribesmen jumped up immediately.
"Why would you save them? They killed so many of us Tribesmen and these cruel bastards!"
Yuan Zhan wanted to rub his forehead and touch the golden needle. He had to lay down his hand. Now he seems particularly irritable.
Yan Mo looked up. "Shut up, don't make any noise."
Da-da and Bing took the initiative to stop the Obscuri Tribesmen from approaching the site of the operation.
Ding Fei was also held by Da-da. Da-da is good to Ding Fei now, afraid of him getting cold. He also took off his only leather skirt to cover him and was slapped back by Ding Fei.
The Obscuri Tribesmen saw that the old priest opened his mouth. Out of respect for him, they closed their mouths and dared not disturb him anymore.
Wei-Sa has paid close attention to the relationship between the two sides. He was worried that these powerful guys would be the helpers of the Great Obscuri or have a good relationship with The Great Obscuri. Now it seems that this is not the case.
Elder Hao dared to come to Yuan Zhan and asked him in a low voice if he could give the Weise Tribesmen to them for disposal, indicating that the Obscuri Tribesmen would remember the situation and compensate them.
Yuan Zhan did not immediately agree.
Wei-Sa looked up and asked Yuan Zhan sarcastically, "Do you follow to the orders of the Obscuri Tribesmen?"
Yuan Zhan turned around with no expression on his face. "I know what you mean. Don't play these tricks on me... Ooh, I see, so you're the one who came up with the idea and not Wei Yi."
Wei-Sa did not admit or deny that, "If you have nothing to do with the Obscuri Tribesmen, we can provide you like the Obscuri Tribesmen, even more than them. Do you want a woman? I think you need women now. I won't let those cheap slaves come to serve you. My chief's little daughter of my tribe has just turned fourteen years old and is as beautiful as a flower. She will be willing to serve you. If it's not enough, the women of my tribe can sent and you can choose one for yourself."
"What else do you have besides women?"
"I know one more thing. I think you'll be interested."
"What's the matter?"
"Free me and my tribesmen, and I'll tell you about it."
Yuan Zhan felt a headache. He put his mouth down and lifted Wei-Sa's chin with his toes. "Now you can still keep your hands and feet if you tell me. If not, I'll pull your limbs off one by one."
Wei-Sa looked into the man's eyes and knew that what he said was true. This guy gave him an odd feeling that he was cruel and mad, but he did not kill the Weise Tribesmen, is because if the old man called Mo Da-Ren, who even rescued their wounded.
"This Da-Ren, why don't you give this man to me? I swear I'll make him tell you what you want to know." Elder Hao again proposed.
Yuan Zhan seems to be considering it with every heartbeat.
Wei-Sa immediately said: "no need, the witch is rescuing my Tribesmen. As a thank you, I will speak out. If Da-Ren is willing to hand me and my Tribesmen over to my tribe, you will be rewarded with great rewards."
Yuan Zhan was surprised that his face was so thick that he overturned what he had said in a twinkling of an eye and even changed his demands. "Let's talk about what you think we'll be interested in first."
Wei-Sa found that his legs and feet could move, but he couldn't sit up yet. The witch's medicine was really powerful.
"Da-Ren, the Weise Tribesmen are so cunning that you can't believe them." Elder Hao was in a hurry.
Wei-Sa sneered. The man lay on the ground still spoke with great momentum. "How many days a distance are you from afar? I wonder if you have heard that Tucheng-Earth City, one of the Nine Great Cities, is selecting temple warriors?”
"Oh?"
Wei-Sa was surprised that Yuan Zhan was not interested in the election of the warriors of the upper city shrine. "That's the temple of the upper city! If you are selected, you never need to worry about the way warriors upgrade. It is a road that will inevitably lead to a strong one. Then you will have endless food, endless sleeping women and endless crystals. It will also be of great benefit to your city or tribe if you were to become a warrior of the Upper City Temple.
"That's all?"
"I heard that if the temple warriors contribute, they can also get their own governing territory."
Yuan Zhan's finger moved:
Warrior's Upgrade Method? Well, he has it, and his must be better than what the temple can give him, because that's the direct inheritance to Mo from the ancestor god. Who in this world can create something that can surpass over the ancestor god?
Governing territory? He is already the chief of The Jiu Yuan and is now trying to expand his territory. The territory he occupied was his, not the one given to him.
He can get enough food if he is strong enough.
What does he want so many women who he doesn’t want to sleep with for? He wants Yan Mo. He hasn't gotten him yet. When Mo is finished, he will have someone to sleep with him. It's no use asking for women.
Endless crystals, well, this seems to be possible, so if he has the chance, he will go to Tucheng-Earth City with Mo and get more crystals.
Elder Hao interrupted, "I've heard about it, too. However, not everyone can go to the upper City Temple to be selected warriors. They all start from the lower city and then send them to the middle city temple. The middle city temple then selects them and the best ones are sent to the upper city. When you go to the city, not everyone can stay. We will choose and pick amongst several times before you can enter the temple.”
"What about the others?"
Elder Hao replied, "If you win, you will become a city warrior working without the threat of death. But if the warriors of the tribe can become temple warriors, even the moat warriors of the lower city will do great good to their original tribe where they came from. So we'll all find ways to send our best warriors to The Black Earth City to attend their training camp."
"What is the relationship between the Black Earth City and Tucheng-Earth City?" Yan Mo took a break and asked.
Yuan Zhan got a chair for him to sit down, habitually grabbed his arm and kneaded it for him, and beat him on the shoulder and back.
Yan Mo sat in a backrest chair like a big man, squinting at the professional services provided by his Chief Da-Ren.
This young man would not let him die, he had a hard time to teach him to this extent, and later if he wants to find such a handy and intimate person like him it can be difficult.
Jiu Feng flew over and at on Yan Mo's head. This is the biggest top pedestal for him!
"Witch Mo," Elder Hao took a step forward and rushed to say, "The Black Earth City belongs to Tucheng-Earth City. Tucheng-Earth City from what I have heard owns five cities, namely, Black Earth City, Stone City, Hongyuan City, Baishan City and Shahai City."
"What about the lower cities attached to the cities which belong to Tucheng-Earth City?"
"There are more cities down there. I only know that there are eleven cities under The Black Earth City alone."
Eleven? Yan Mo was surprised. This is the first time he has heard about it. But he didn't show it on his face. He only looked at Yuan Zhan.
Wei-Sa seems to know more than Elder Hao. "Most of these cities are owned by the upper middle cities, and some of them are absorbed by big tribes."
Yuan Zhan asked, "Can the lower city become a middle city?"
"Yes. There are two ways to ascend from the lower city to the middle city. One is to ascend from the lower city to the middle city by the personal strength of the chief, warriors, the priest of the temple, and the gods and servants. Everything is related to their strength to fight and win against a middle city. Another way, if there is a lower city, together with their city lord and the priest, their overall strength has become as strong as that of another middle city, so they can also be directly upgraded to middle city. For example, The Black Earth City, the Black Earth City, was a lower city before. Its governor was King Wu Shang. The Black Earth City is affiliated to Tucheng-Earth City. But as long as King Wu Shang's blood is continuous, Tucheng-Earth City can't send another landlord to govern The Black Earth City.”
Wei-Sa deduced from this question and answer that these people were by no means affiliated with the Three Cities, otherwise they should know even such a basic thing.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo also know that their problems will come to an end if they ask this, but they can't help asking. Wei-Se, "What are the Nine Great Cities?"
This time, even Elder Hao was surprised that they didn't even know such ordinary things. They didn't look like they came from a very remote place.
Maybe this problem is too common for people here. Wei-Sa did not hide, "Tucheng-Earth City, Mucheng-Wood City, Shuicheng-Water City, Huocheng-Fire City, Fengcheng-Wind City, Ancheng-Dark City, Yincheng-Sound City, Kongcheng-Air City, and Wucheng-City of Witches with great prophets and the greatest inheritance of witchcraft."
Without Golden City, will the Ding Yue Tribe become the top ten cities in the future? Yan Mo couldn't help thinking of the joke.
Listening to the names of these cities it seems to be a city is prone to have a kind of ability related to its name, and the human body in his previous generations cannot directly express the "external" ability that must be relied on tools. When he studied how to stimulate blood ability, he often wonders what the root causes of these abilities are, why humans and other organisms can manipulate these abilities, and why he can stimulate the ability hidden in the blood.
The only thing he can say for sure now is that this ability is really related to genes, but the energy that motivates them is not in the genes.
It's like if you have fire-wood gene, but how can you make it burn?
Without knowing the theory, the warrior found flint and lit firewood. But what is the "flint" hidden in the human body that cause someone to control something else? What is the energy that keeps the fire-wood burning?
Yan Mo feels that if he can understand these two things and their superficial principles, maybe he can really help Yuan Zhan solve the problem of energy imbalance in his body.
"You seem to know a lot better than those of us." Yan Mo, a local dumpling, smiled gently.
Elder Hao said politely, "We're just close to the Black Earth City. There are so many travelers and tourists in the past who visited us that we'll hear a little more."
Yuan Zhan, "Do you know where the Nine Great Cities are?"
Elder Hao shook his head. "I don't know. We've only heard the name of the Nine Great Cities. We haven't even been to the Upper City which the Black Earth City is affiliated to, Tucheng-Earth City."
Yan Mo tapped on the handrail. "Is there such a place near you? A huge mountain, with a huge rock on the top of the mountain which looks like a giant's face from a distance. There is a river under the mountain, and across the river there is a mountain with five colors.
This is where the Old Mandrill told them that he had discovered the Godblood Stone of water. He remembered walking along the mountain forest to the northeast and passing through several characteristic sites. The Godblood Stone with the water energy was in a five-colored stone mountain with many powerful human guards.
"Yes." Old Hao and Wei-Sa responded at the same time, but Wei-Sa hesitated and took another step to Old Hao. "Witch Mo, if I remember correctly, you're probably talking about Tucheng-Earth City, one of the Nine Great Cities. The symbol of Tucheng-Earth City is the Five Colors Mountain under the city. We haven't been there, but we've heard of it."
Yuan Zhan saw Wei-Sa's kid's expression and knew he didn't want to say something about it. Fortunately, Old Hao of The Great Obscuri was there.
Tucheng-Earth City... Oh, no wonder that the Godblood Stone water attribute can stay in its territory, if it is soil attribute, it may have already been used by some who was bold enough
Wei-Sa regretted his hesitation just now. At this moment, he observed Yan Mo's face and immediately seized the opportunity again. "Are you going to Tucheng-Earth City? I've heard that the Nine Great Cities are not allowing outsiders to enter. I don't know why you want to go to Tucheng-Earth City, but if you want to enter safely, there's only one way at the present.”
Yuan Zhan wanted to pull out the golden needle from his head again. "The way you say is to join the selection of the temple warrior?"
"Yes."
Yan Mo pressed Yuan Zhan's hand and asked Wei-Sa, "What's the selection method?"
"The top ten warriors selected by Black Earth City can go to Tucheng-Earth City. You can take part in the selection of the Black Earth City warriors."
"Witch Mo, don't listen to him he is confusing you!" Elder Hao was afraid that the kind old witch would be deceived and hurried to say, "Because the selection quota is precious, the selection process of the warriors in The Black Earth City is very cruel. Whether they are alive or dead, many warriors are killed, even if they are not dead, they will be seriously injured. If you want to go to Tucheng-Earth City, you can think of other ways. There must be other ways, such as... Participate in the market fair?”
Wei-Sa sat up slowly with his hands on the ground and sneered, "Why do they attend the upper city market fair? How many yuan-crystals do they have? What's the treasure that touches people in the city? Participating in the Black Earth City warrior selection is the fastest and most convenient way. With the warrior's ability, it's not easy to win a place. Moreover, he is still a soil-control warrior. As long as he enters in the 10 places, even if he cannot pass the final selection of Tucheng-Earth City, Tucheng-Earth City Temple will probably take him.”
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan both confirmed that the man wanted them to die in the selection process. In addition, this person seems to know more than others, at least Elder Hao knows less than him.
Yuan Zhan stooped slightly close to Yan Mo's ears and whispered, "I want to join in."
"Ah? Why?" They have a lot of yuan-crystal s and bone objects, but they can't participate in the fair. They may be able to carry the disc given by the Ding Yue Tribe into Tucheng-Earth City and use paper as a cover. Red salt would be saved. He didn't want to be attacked in advance by displaying the several of thing which they had.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Godblood Stone will probably be placed in the temple. If that's the case, it's easy to get into Tucheng-Earth City only through the market fair, but it's hard to get into the temple. But if I could choose to be a temple warrior, it would be much easier to get close to the Godblood Stone.”
"Can't we steal the Godblood Stone directly from the ground?" After that, Yan Mo also felt that that was unlikely. Even the Old Mandrill was too strong to snatch the Godblood Stone --- although he said it was useless for him, why didn't he snatch it if he could?
Yuan Zhan touched his head and laughed. “That's Tucheng-Earth City, one of the Nine Great Cities, a city named after the earth. Do you think it’s not prepared for the blood warriors who can walk in the earth and rocks?'
"But what's happening to you now..."
"I believe in you."
