"Continue to go south, and shake off the tail completely first."
As Zong Shou spoke, he looked at the sky. Although there were thick clouds above this place, if a spiritual master could do it, he could still push away the sea of clouds at a specific time and use the stars above to determine the direction.
After a rough identification, Zong Shou headed to the southwest corner and pointed with his hand: "In that direction, just keep driving! The whole army is not allowed to use the Red Swift Bird Messenger Talisman to convey messages. By the way, let people Load up all the Yuan Mie Nu."
Everyone around them showed no surprise. This is the outskirts of Hailingyuan, and after the fleet comes after them, they will definitely search everywhere. This area is indeed not a suitable place for hunting spirit beasts. .
Although this Hailingyuan, no force has been able to clear it out all year round. The deeper you go, the more likely you are to be besieged by a herd of beasts, even seventh-level beasts.
However, the sect guarding Qiantian Mountain City has almost a year's income and bought 800 yuan to destroy the crossbow and 300 three-armed spiritual crossbows. Among the fleet, there are Zhu Junhou, Gu Liekong, and Lingfa Kong who are far superior. The top sixth-level warriors among his peers can use secret techniques at any time in times of crisis to reach seventh-level combat power with the help of an army, so they are not too afraid.
Even Master Jingtao did not refute. He did not know whether he had his own plan to escape, or whether he believed in the combat power of Qiantian Mountain and Xuanshan City.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be slightly surprised that Zong Shou actually had a full eight hundred yuan to destroy the crossbow.
But just after Jingtao left the deck and went back to his room to meditate, Zong Shou waved to Gu Liekong again and called him in front of him.
"Does the ancient governor have any way to leave some clues for those guys behind? It would be better to be more precise and let them catch up in five days?"
Gu Liekong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zong Shou in disbelief.
It took nearly ten thousand fire and thunder arrows to block the fleet of the three cities of Taoyun Lieyan in the Demon Sail Cave. It was time to escape quickly and find another hiding place to hunt the beasts. Zong Shou but Ask him to leave clues to lead the four thousand cloud ships behind to catch up.
If he had watched Zong Shou grow up, he would have known that the person in front of him was indeed the real city lord of Qiantian Mountain City.
He almost thought that his new demon king had been outsourced by others. He was going to sell them to the bastards from Taoyun and Lieyan Yunxia.
His eyes flashed, and it took Gu Liekong a long time before he regained his composure: "I don't know what your Majesty means, but you have your orders, and I dare not disobey you! I only need to do a little bit of manipulation to lead the ship division. Do it. Five days, sixty hours, never a moment more, and never a minute less!"
Zong Shou nodded slightly, then secretly made a hidden gesture towards several Lingyun Sect disciples in the distance.
Gu Liekong immediately understood and said: "I will never let Master Jingtao know about it!"
Zong Shou then smiled with satisfaction. He liked such ministers, who were much more obedient and smarter than Ren Bo and others.
After that, Zong Shou simply stopped going back to his dormitory and stayed on the deck all the time. You can also sit and meditate here, there is no difference.
Just two days later, another majestic mountain appeared in the distance, hidden in the thick black fog, far outside the range of the spiritual master's lighting magic.
Only someone like him, who specially uses spiritual methods to enhance his eyesight, can barely see an outline.
But just this vague shadow made Zong Shou clenched his fists violently. This place was finally arrived!
Zongshou stood up from the deck of the ship and the throne specially designed for him. Zongshou strode to the bow of the ship and looked over as hard as he could.
——Same! It is indeed exactly the same as when he came here in his previous life. But here, compared to ten thousand years later, it is much safer.
It has not experienced the period when the spiritual tide broke out, so this place is far less densely populated with seventh-order spirit beasts than it was in later generations.
Below the cloud ship, there are at most five or six levels of beasts and evil spirits. There is nothing you can do about this cloud ship floating three hundred feet in the sky.
Only some birds and flying demons can pose some threat to the fleet.
But often before they even get close, they are shot by numerous crossbows and killed on the spot. The whole journey is completely smooth sailing.
Gu Liekong also noticed the huge mountains in the distance, and also walked to Zong Shou's side. He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think this mountain range is majestic. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross, so it's better to go around it."
Zong Shou shook his head and did not answer. He carefully determined the direction again, and after a moment, he pointed at an angle of 30 degrees to the southwest and said: "Go that way!"
Gu Liekong had no choice but to think that it would be okay to delay for a moment anyway. The mountain in front of him didn't look out of the ordinary. So he issued an order, causing the entire fleet, including more than a thousand cloud ships, to turn around.
However, just when the entire fleet was about twenty miles away, bursts of roars of beasts and sharp screams of evil spirits could be heard from all directions.
They come and go, one after another, one wave after another. The further in, the louder the roar becomes.
A moment later, not only the entire fleet, but also thousands of cloud ships were startled. Even Jingtao, who was practicing in his room, was startled again and returned to the deck. He filled his eyes with spiritual power and took a look.
All around, front, back, left, right, and in all directions, there were howling sounds. Even more faintly visible, countless giant beasts were hidden in the thick fog, and it seemed that they were faintly surrounded by these beasts and evil spirits.
"Is this a beast tide?"
After confirming, Jingtao suddenly took a breath of cold air, his face turned pale and pale. He could no longer maintain his previous indifference, and asked Zong Shou angrily: "Please give me an explanation, Lord Zong!"
With just a cursory glance, he had already discovered nearly 10,000 sixth-level beasts, and there were even more who were below fifth-level. A beast tide of this size would certainly not be short of seventh-level beasts.
——In the tight siege, even with the secret treasure they brought this time, they may not be able to escape easily this time.
If it were not for the presence of the 800 Yuan Mie Nu, the fleet would not be in danger for the time being, and he would immediately lead these many Lingyun disciples and sail away.
"Master, please be patient and don't be impatient!"
Zong Shou looked back and motioned for Gu Liekong to continue. Then he frowned and considered his words: "I don't know, have you ever heard of the Beast Tomb?"
"Beast Tomb?"
Jingtao murmured, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "I've heard of it before, the place where the bones of high-level spirit beasts are buried! Rumor has it that under the sea of clouds, those spirit beasts that produced spiritual intelligence don't want the corpse beast crystals to be buried for other beasts.
Food for human beings. I don’t want to be deprived of my vitality and blood by evil and evil things.
. Therefore, before death, they will deliberately choose some special areas to die, and over time, they will form so-called beast tombs. They are all extremely dangerous places, and not only many spirit beasts will be attracted by the beast crystals buried inside, so
Even those evil things will linger around."
"The real person is indeed well-informed! There is such a beast tomb in front of you."
The entire deck fell into silence. Immediately, countless doubtful eyes came to look at them one after another. Zong Shou felt helpless for a moment, knowing that this was going to be the case. This matter was too shocking, and even people who were very close to him would definitely do it.
Seeking the roots.
Originally, the place he chose was not here. It was another place where he could hunt a large number of spirit beasts. It was estimated that in just one month, the profit would reach millions of fourth-level beast crystals. Just because Yue Guanyun said that
Because of people, I finally changed my mind.
Naturally, at this moment, an explanation is also needed to clear up everyone's doubts.
After hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou finally gave a wry smile and said: "If an elder told me that there are countless beast corpses here, I don't know if you believe it or not?" He was not lying. He did learn from an elder about this place.
'I learned that this person had been dead for seven thousand years and described this place in a book. This beast tomb had been completely emptied by people at that time.
After saying this, everyone around had different expressions. The first thing that came to mind for Master Jingtao was that it was said that Zong Weiran had reached the realm of heaven a few years ago and even entered and exited the sea of clouds alone. And he knew that Zong Shou
, Zhao Yanran and Xuanyuan Yiren, who had already become disciples of Cangsheng Taoism, the figure that flashed in their minds was Wei Xu.
As for Hu Zhongyuan and others, they were completely confused. However, they all knew that Zong Shou could not deliberately put himself to death.
Jingtao hesitated slightly and looked around again. This time, careful observation revealed that it was indeed different from the ordinary beast tide.
There are a large number of evil creatures nearby, not under the spirit beasts, fighting and killing each other. And these evil beasts do not seem to be driven by high-level spirit beasts and evil spirits. They are just instinctively wary of their fleet.
I couldn't help but believe it 70% of the time. This situation was indeed somewhat similar to the rumored beast tomb.
Then he just listened to Zong Shou, and said in a weird tone: "If you really don't believe me, you can rush back first, Zong Shou will never stop you."
Jingtao's eyes immediately shrank again. He looked at Zong Shou carefully again, with a slight sneer on his face, which was almost undetectable.
With the help of Lingyun Sect's power, Yue Guanyun Xiongba and the other three men were afraid to take action. They also used fire and thunder arrows in the Demon Sail Cave to shake off all the four thousand cloud ships behind them.
He had learned a lesson in the methods of this prince. As expected, as rumored, although he was unable to practice, he was extremely intelligent and had top-notch tactics and strategies.
But this person let them leave at this time, and I don’t know what his intention was?
Was he crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to swallow these beast crystals? There was something wrong. If he had such intention, then he should not have been told that there was a beast tomb here.
With only a slight hesitation, Jingtao shook his head and said: "Since our Lingyun Sect has received the deposit from the city lord, we have no reason not to do our best. How can we abandon the city lord at this time? Whether it is a beast tomb or not, go in and take a look.
It’s okay.”
Zong Shou smiled and laughed secretly in his heart. But there was nothing unusual on his face. He just ordered all the cloud ships to move forward.
Sure enough, after about a few miles, you can vaguely see the ground three hundred feet below, with hundreds of bones of spirit beasts scattered around. There are also countless Yin Qi permeating everywhere.
