As he walked deeper and deeper, Ye Chen was more and more impressed by the hugeness of Tianshan Mountain.
At this moment, he has been walking through the Tianshan Mountains for three days, but he has not yet reached the end. The mountains here are continuous and densely forested. If you don't pay attention, you will completely lose your way.
Fortunately, in these three days, Ye Chen subdued three more powerful spiritual beasts. In addition to the five he had subdued before, eight spiritual beasts had been suppressed in the Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda at this time, which was considered an extremely powerful force.
Weak combat power.
But Ye Chen still had no clue about the trace of the holy beast.
rustle!
At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from the left direction.
Ye Chen stepped forward and gently pushed aside the trees, only to find that there was an open space in front of him. In the open space, there was a girl wearing strange clothes, leaning against a tree stump and resting.
This girl is about fifteen years old, with bright eyes, white teeth, a straight nose, and delicate features like a porcelain doll. However, she does not seem to be human. She has a pair of cyan wings on her back, which reflects colorful brilliance in the sun.
, especially gorgeous.
"Who!" The girl seemed to feel the approach of others and immediately woke up. Her jewel-like eyes looked at Ye Chen in surprise. After staying for a few seconds, she strode forward.
"Are you a human?" The girl was not afraid of strangers, so she came closer and asked doubtfully.
"My name is Ye Chen. I came to Tianshan Mountain to practice. You must be an aboriginal here, right?" Ye Chen was not familiar with Tianshan Mountain and wanted this girl to help him show the way, which would save a lot of time.
However, before Ye Chen could say anything, the girl frowned tightly, crossed her hands, and said: "This is the core area of Tianshan Mountain. Every step is full of dangers. Further forward, there is the Styx River."
If you block the road and anger the river god, even if you have nine lives, you won't be enough to die."
The girl lowered her voice, obviously trying to scare Ye Chen, but she was a little younger and her voice was still a little immature. When she spoke, there was no harshness at all, and she was extremely cute.
Ye Chen suddenly became interested and deliberately joked: "There are no gods in this world. How come you have never heard of the river god you just said?"
"You haven't heard of it, does that mean you haven't?" The girl rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "The Styx River is the mother river of the Tianshan Mountains. It stretches for thousands of miles and has nurtured hundreds of races. The River God is the god in charge of the Styx River.
, almost everyone knows about this, but if you haven’t heard of it, I can only say that you are ignorant.”
"Really?" Ye Chen said with a trace of ridicule on his face: "But as the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false. You have never seen the River God with your own eyes, how do you know his existence?
"
"you……"
The girl was speechless immediately, making a squeaking sound from her mouth, and her whole little face turned red from suppressing it. Finally, she stamped her foot and hummed: "Tonight I can see the River God with my own eyes. By then, I
It can be proved that the river god is real."
After saying that, the girl glared at Ye Chen fiercely, turned around, and disappeared directly into the grass.
"What a ghost." Ye Chen smiled, and just as he took a step forward, he found the girl running back again, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you back again? Didn't you say you were going to see the River God?"
Ye Chen thought the girl would talk back, but unexpectedly, the girl pondered for a while and said seriously: "Today is the River God Festival. You should not get close to the River Styx under any circumstances. It is best to leave Tianshan now and return to your tribe.
go."
"Why?" Ye Chen asked doubtfully.
"Anyway, you have to remember my words, don't get close to the River Styx, and don't even think about meeting the River God." The girl increased her tone, and then left again, leaving only those words echoing in the forest.
"This girl is really weird. First she said she could see the River God tonight, and then she said I shouldn't go near the River Styx or see the River God. She also said her life would be in danger. What does this mean?"
Ye Chen scratched the back of his head. After thinking to no avail, he did not think about it in detail. The most urgent task was to find the trace of the holy beast.
"Ye Chen, why are you here?" A clear voice sounded. Ye Chen looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Su Qingxue dressed in smart clothes walking forward.
At this time, she exuded a strong aura, mixed with a hint of blood. She must have come here to practice.
"I have nothing to do, so I just walked around." Ye Chen did not reveal anything about the Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda. He changed his tone and asked Su Qingxue: "By the way, I heard that there is a Styx River nearby.
There is still a river god in the River Styx, is this true?"
"River God?" Su Qingxue frowned slightly and replied: "There is indeed a river near here called the Styx. As for this river god, he is probably made up."
"There are many tribes in this area, and within each tribe, there are many legends. This river god may be one of them. What's more, some tribes believe in ghosts and gods, and hold grand festivals every year to select tribesmen.
They are dedicated to the so-called gods in the form of living sacrifices to pray for good luck in the coming year."
Hearing what Su Qingxue said, Ye Chen was also secretly frightened and said: "You Four Elephant Ancient Clan control the barbarian territory, do you never care about such absurd things?"
"These tribes are not familiar with the world and can almost be said to be isolated from the world. Even if we explain in words, they may not believe it. Over time, both sides are unwilling to pay too much attention to it."
"By the way, I just saw you talking to a girl. The girl seems to be from the Qingyi tribe. The Qingyi tribe is a large tribe in this area and especially believes in ghosts and evil spirits. The clothes the girl is wearing,
It seems to be used in festivals."
Su Qingxue recalled it in her mind, and when she turned around, she found that there was no trace of Ye Chen in front of her, and he had disappeared.
Hoo ho ho!
The strong wind blew by his ears, and Ye Chen's figure quickly shuttled through the forest, with a trace of worry on his face.
Not long after, he slowed down and finally landed on an ancient tree, looking far ahead.
There is a huge tribal land there. It is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of households and thousands of tribesmen. In this uninhabited area, it can be regarded as a large tribe.
At this time, the tribe was extremely lively, and cheers could be heard from time to time.
In front of the mountain gate of the tribe, there is a group of people gathered. These people are older, with solemn expressions on their faces, and are whispering something. They are probably the elders of the tribe, and their status is not low.
In front of this group of people, there was a simple wooden sedan. Sitting on the wooden sedan was a young girl, looking up at the sky. There was no joy on her face, but she looked a bit lonely and helpless.
This girl turned out to be the Qingyi tribe girl that Ye Chen met in the forest.
"It seems that what Su Qingxue said is right. The Qingyi tribe is indeed an ignorant race that believes in ghosts and evil spirits." Ye Chen looked at the Qingyi tribe in front of him from a distance, his voice a little cold.
At this moment, he finally understood.
At that time, the girl from the Green Wing tribe asked him to leave here many times, just because she didn't want Ye Chen to get involved in this festival and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, she said that she would see the River God with her own eyes tonight, which was not a lie.
Because at this moment, she happened to be selected by the Green Wing Clan and was to be delivered to the so-called River God as a sacrifice!
