Chapter 1180

In the distant void, there was a long and deep chant, followed by a bleak sound. The sound seemed to be near and far at the same time, making it difficult to understand.

When Han Li listened carefully, he realized that there was only a tone and no specific words, so he could not tell what it meant. But once he heard it, he felt full of energy.

"Could this be the ancient battle song of the tribes of the Wilderness?"

While Han Li was bewildered, he realized that the sound around him was getting louder and louder.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Bai, who was beside him, and found that the latter was also singing softly.

"I don't know what's going on either, but when I heard that bleak tone, I couldn't help but sing along …" Seeing him look at it, Xiao Bai communicated with Han Li telepathically.

Han Li nodded and began to climb the mountain with Xiao Bai.

When he took his first step onto the stone steps of the mountain path, he immediately felt an indescribable force enveloping him from all directions. His footsteps also became a little heavy.

However, the heaviness did not come from the outside world. Instead, it was as if the entire Ba Huang Mountain had turned into a magnet. Waves of suction were emitted from within the mountain, and all the people who were climbing were firmly stuck to it.

But this degree of power was not too strong for Han Li, so he basically had no problem walking.

As for the people of the Sky Fox clan and the Mountain Moving Ape clan, they also had no problems walking. Their climbing speed was not slow, and soon they had reached more than a hundred steps.

Han Li and Xiao Bai's speed was basically the same as the people of the Sky Fox clan. When they looked back, they saw that there were still thousands of people standing on the square at the foot of the mountain.

"Le Er, why are they staying at the foot of the mountain?" Han Li transmitted his voice to Liu Le Er.

"They are not among the top hundred tribes, because they are subordinate tribes to the Wilderness Tribe, so they are qualified to stay at the foot of the mountain. Most of the tribes can only stay in Wasteland City, and can't even approach the Sacred Mountain," Liu Le Er quickly replied.

"Seems like being able to participate in the Blood Sacrifice Assembly is indeed a rather glorious thing," said Han Li.

"That is indeed the case. The top one hundred tribes that are able to ascend the mountain all have some remnants of the bloodline of the eight ancient kings. That is why they are allowed to ascend the mountain. That is why even the chief was surprised that His Majesty allowed you to accompany Little White up the mountain," Liu Le'er replied.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and did not say anything else.

After ascending a few hundred more stone steps, numerous ancient talisman markings started to appear on the stone platform on the ground. Every single time everyone ascended the mountain, it was as if they'd fallen into a swamp. It was easy to place one's foot on the ground, yet difficult to raise it, causing many people's postures to be slightly strange.

Apart from the Celestial Fox tribe and the Mountain Moving Ape tribe, who were still able to maintain their original speed, the speed at which the other tribes were climbing the mountain began to slow down. The line on the stone steps began to stretch longer and longer.

As a human, Han Li's speed of ascending the mountain was not inferior to that of the Celestial Fox tribe or the Mountain Moving Ape tribe. Instead, he walked rather leisurely and leisurely, which surprised the other two tribes when they saw this.

All of them mustered up their strength and increased their speed of ascending the mountain. They were afraid that they would fall behind Han Li and be despised by others.

Han Li naturally did not have any desire to win. He only accompanied Little White and climbed at a moderate pace.

At this moment, the little white ape that had been among the Mountain Moving Ape tribe suddenly stopped every two steps it took and approached Han Li and Little White.

However, its gaze kept moving back and forth between Han Li and Little White. There was both curiosity and wariness in its gaze.

Perhaps it was because he had the bloodline of the Giant Mountain Ape in his body, but Han Li found this little white ape to be rather pleasing to the eye. Hence, he only smiled at the little white ape's careful probing.

The Mountain Moving Ape tribe seemed to tacitly approve of the little white ape's actions. They did not stop it.

The little white ape's wariness was mostly directed at Han Li. Hence, after it circled around, it came to the other side and approached the Pixiu Little White.

"Why are you here instead of following your own tribe?" Little White asked rudely when it saw this.

"I heard that you have the bloodline of the Ink-Eyed Pixiu?" The little white ape did not mind and continued asking.

"So what if I do?" Little White said without turning its head as it continued climbing.

"Our ancestor was Lord Yuan Hong, one of the eight great true spirit kings. He was best friends with the Ink-Eyed Pixiu Lord Mo Yu, who was also a true spirit king …" the little white ape said.

"They were best friends … So what?" Little White was initially puzzled, but it quickly asked.

"It was said that they disappeared together back then," the little white ape said.

When it heard this, Little White suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, Little White finally looked at the little white ape and asked, "What's your name?"

"Yuan Shanbai," the little white ape answered.

"You're Yuan Shanbai, and I'm Little White … There's some fate between us," Little White said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

"You're Little White, Mo Little White?" The little white ape raised its brows and asked.

When Little White heard this, it hesitated for a moment before nodding absentmindedly. It had not recovered its memory, so it did not even know what its real name was. It could only agree vaguely.

Han Li had been paying attention to the conversation between the two little fellows. When he saw this scene, he was slightly moved.

Little White and Yuan Shanbai started chatting. Very soon, the gloominess from before was gone. Little White's original temperament of the martial world returned. He called Yuan Shanbai 'young master' and 'young master' here and there. Yuan Shanbai, who had not really left the tribe and was clearly an immature little ape, was stunned.

When he heard that Little White had an even more powerful boss, Yuan Shanbai's eyes almost shone with stars. He seemed very envious and yearning.

"Hehe, don't rush!

When there's a chance, I'll introduce my boss to you. She doesn't have a good temper, but she's very loyal. Prepare a greeting gift for her. Once she acknowledges you as her little brother, we'll protect you together, "Little White said as it blinked and patted Yuan Shanbai's shoulder.

When Han Li heard that Little White wanted to recruit another little brother for Jin Tong, he could not help but rub his nose. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Listening to the two of them chatting, it was quite interesting along the way. However, Han Li did not let his guard down. He carefully observed the changes in his surroundings.

As he climbed higher, he realized that the higher he went, the stronger the suction force on the stone steps became. There were already many tribes that could not keep up. The Heavenly Fox Tribe and the Mountain Moving Ape Tribe had fallen behind.

Furthermore, apart from the suction force on the ground, there was also a strong pressure in the air around them. The Celestial Fox tribe and the Mountain Moving Ape tribe found it increasingly difficult to walk.

By the time they reached the waist of the mountain, the pressure in the air was a hundred times stronger than at the foot of the mountain. Han Li began to feel his breathing quicken as he walked. The pressure was unbearable.

He slowed down and silently activated the Hell-Suppressing Technique in his body. Only then did he feel the pressure loosen slightly. He continued to climb.

Apart from the two major tribes, all the other tribes had been left behind. Even if there were tribes that had followed up, they had already given up on climbing the mountain. Instead, they followed the horizontal plank roads halfway up the mountain and went to the platforms on the mountainside on both sides.

Han Li looked around and saw round stone platforms that looked like cattail hassocks on both sides of the platform. The tribes that had come to the platforms chose a cattail hassock and sat down.

As for the Celestial Fox tribe and the Mountain Moving Ape tribe, they had no intention of stopping. They continued to climb.

Logically speaking, the physique of the Mountain Moving Ape tribe should be stronger than that of the Celestial Fox tribe. However, the strange thing was that the Mountain Moving Ape tribe's overall speed was slower than the Celestial Fox tribe's and they gradually fell behind.

Instead, Yuan Shanbai, who had been chatting with Little White, walked at the front.

Seeing that his tribe had fallen behind, Yuan Shanbai bade farewell to Little White and returned to the side of the elderly ape tribe elder to accompany him up the mountain.

Those from the Heavenly Fox Tribe and the Mountain Moving Ape Tribe were mostly silent along the way. They would only occasionally glance in Han Li's direction. They were quite perplexed. How could a mere human be able to traverse the mountain path with such ease?

In reality, only Han Li himself knew that the pressure weighing down on his body was equivalent to that of a mountain. As such, every step he took left a faint mark on the stone steps beneath his feet.

After walking for about half an hour, Han Li realized that Little White, who was beside him, seemed to have reached her limit. Every step she took was extremely difficult and she had to stop after every few steps. She would stick out her tongue and gasp for breath for a long time.

When Han Li saw this, he also slowed down and accompanied him up the mountain.

The Celestial Fox tribe gradually overtook them and walked to the front. Only then did they feel a little better.

Han Li raised his head and glanced at Liu Le'er. He saw that she had stopped in front of him and had turned around to look at him. Her cheeks were still glistening with sweat and her pretty face was flushed. Her eyes were full of questions.

"Follow Senior Liu Qing up first. We'll be there shortly," Han Li said to her telepathically.

Liu Le'er hesitated for a moment before she continued to climb under Liu Qing's urging.

"How is it?

Do you want me to help you? "

Han Li knew that the true power of the Ink-Eyed Pi Xiu had not awakened in Little White. With his current strength, he was indeed close to his limit for being able to reach this point.

"No need. I heard from the little white ape that climbing this mountain path is a test for the bloodline of the Eight Kings. The stronger the bloodline, the more courageous they will be. I can't bring shame to my bloodline," Little White shook his head and said with gritted teeth.

As he finished speaking, he raised his head. His eyes were filled with vigor as he looked towards the top of the mountain and continued to climb.

Han Li looked into Little Bai's eyes, and he seemed to be able to see a faint golden halo, but it only disappeared in a flash. He then smiled as he continued up the mountain.
