Chapter 44

The once tranquil Cangmang Mountains were no longer peaceful, with powerful figures emerging. Some came for the village of Shi Village's sacrificial spirit, while others came to investigate the treasures hidden in the vast wilderness. They came in droves, causing the small town of Xiaogushan to be overcrowded.

The leaders of various tribes did not act rashly. They found the willow tree to be mysterious, with a sense of unfathomable depth.

In these few days, many powerful figures had ventured deep into the mountains, trying to understand what kind of sacred object could cause the ancient relics to fight for two years without leaving.

A group of experts from different tribes formed a powerful team. They broke through the outer regions, cutting down fierce beasts along the way, and entered deeper into the mountains.

"What do you think the mountain treasure is? It has been hidden for two years without being found. Could it be a living creature?"

"Hmm, it's possible. It might be a sacred herb, perhaps one that can fly on its own."

The group discussed, but they did not forget to be on guard as they advanced into the mountains. Everyone was filled with anticipation. Even if they didn't find the mountain treasure, discovering other spiritual herbs would make the trip worthwhile.

Of course, if they could find the bodies of the ancient relics that died in battle, it would be even more thrilling. Without a doubt, each relic was an invaluable treasure!

"Ao..."

Suddenly, from deep within the primeval forest, a deep roar echoed, shaking the mountains, causing boulders to roll and crush many towering ancient trees, like a mountain flood.

"Hasn't even gone deep in yet, how can there be such a terrifying roar?" the group was startled.

The wind howled, ancient trees swayed, and a pungent smell that made people gag came from the forest, accompanied by a terrifying aura of evil.

"Bad, a fierce beast is out, quickly defend yourselves!"

A golden-haired bear rushed out, standing upright and running, towering ten meters tall, with a large horn growing between its eyebrows, moving at incredible speed.

"Pu"

Despite its massive size, it was not clumsy, moving swiftly. It slapped down a hand, and before anyone could react, one person was directly crushed into a pile of flesh by the bear's paw.

"Chi"

A powerful figure unleashed a treasure technique, attacking the golden-haired giant bear with a single horn. Bone script spread, turning into a fiery light that descended, burning the bear. However, this fierce beast had no intention of fighting, leaping up twenty meters and instantly fleeing.

"Bad, run, it's a beast tide!"

The group cried out in alarm. The bear was extremely powerful, leading the charge, and behind it, a large number of fierce beasts rushed like a mountain flood, a vast black mass.

These people were chilled to the bone. No wonder the pungent smell and the howling wind, there were so many fierce beasts running.

The ground trembled, many ancient trees were knocked down, and a large number of giants stampeded, flattening the mountains, escaping from deep within the mountains, crowding together, all very powerful.

"My goodness, what's happening, why are there so many fierce beasts?!" The group fled, not daring to stop for a moment. In such a massive beast tide, even the leaders of tribes would likely retreat, not daring to confront it head-on.

"Ao..."

A roar echoed from the mountains, causing rocks to fly and the peaks to shake, with large boulders rolling down, creating a terrifying scene.

"Heaven, an ancient relic, it's a demon ape!"

The group turned around, surprised to find a black ape king emitting a dark glow, with black mist surging to the sky, standing like a world-conquering demon king, flapping a pair of giant demon wings, overseeing the area, driving the beast herd.

What was even more shocking was that this powerful ancient relic had a severed arm, only one arm left, with a fierce gaze fixed on them.

The group of experts fled quickly, but they were still discovered. The demon ape flapped its wings, turning into a black lightning bolt, the wind howling, rocks rolling, and it instantly swooped down.

The person at the front suddenly stopped, eyes vacant, a gush of blood spurted from his head, his skull flying off. The demon ape opened its mouth and sucked out his brain.

It did not stop, moving like a black lightning bolt, too fast for anyone to react.

"Pa"

A light tap, another skull flew up. It opened its mouth and sucked out the brain, then licked its bloody lips and let go.

The person, until his death, his brain empty, let out a half-scream, cut short, because everything happened too quickly.

"Ah..."

The group was terrified, unable to resist the urge to scream, their scalps tingling. No one expected to encounter an ancient relic so soon after entering the mountains, and they could not fight it, only fleeing for their lives.

Clearly, this struggle was futile. The demon ape left a trail of shadows, skulls flying, enjoying its feast.

In the end, no one escaped, all the experts were killed.

If the people of Shi Village were there, they would recognize this as the relic that once battled the Suanni, now even more ferocious.

The beast tide was shocking, destroying large areas of forest, forming a flood, rushing out of the mountains, causing a great upheaval. Not only were nearby villages tense, but even the powerful figures from afar were alarmed, believing that something had changed in the mountains, causing the beasts to flee.

From a distance, the sky above the mountains was filled with black shadows, countless fierce birds spreading their wings, fleeing the mountains at high speed.

"Hmm, what a terrifying beast tide. I thought this barren land lacked spiritual energy and wouldn't have any extraordinary creatures, but it seems to have gathered so many fierce beasts!" The leader of the Golden Wolf Tribe stood on a rock, overlooking the beast tide, his brows furrowed. Beside him, a golden divine wolf stood on the mountain peak, staring into the distance.

"Ah, an ancient relic is driving the beasts... This powerful relic seems to be acting on orders?" The leader of the Golden Wolf Tribe was surprised, muttering to himself.

Sensing this, he was shocked. That was an ancient relic, sweeping through the area, hard to find an opponent, now doing this.

He vaguely understood that a supreme existence in the mountains was clearing the area, the mountain treasure was about to emerge!

At the same time, Lei Hou, the master of Luofu Marsh, and several other powerful figures also realized this. They were the strongest in their tribes, ruling over many tribes in the land, but now they could only sigh, knowing the mountain treasure was out of their reach, powerless to compete.

After two hours, the beast tide finally dissipated, entering the outer regions of the mountains, each heading in a different direction. This was just the first wave. The weakest creatures were driven out, and there would be a second wave, the land would not be at peace.

The powerful figures retreated to Xiaogushan Town, feeling the situation was difficult. The scene in the mountains was too terrifying; they could not possibly enter, let alone obtain the mountain treasure or the bodies of the relics.

"Ah, this trip was in vain. I didn't expect the mountains to be so terrifying. A powerful demon ape, just responsible for driving the beasts, and this isn't even the deepest part of the mountains. What incredible thing could be in the Cangmang Mountains?"

"Could it be a sacred herb, or an ancient bone from legend?"

"Who knows, but this trip was in vain. I don't want to stay, I'll leave tomorrow, or I might die here."

The group was dejected. Many tribes had joined forces, making a grand effort, but this was the result, leaving them very unsatisfied.

"Hey, right, the strongest tribes in this land are targeting a certain village, what's going on? I heard they suffered a loss?"

"Isn't there someone from the Golden Wolf Tribe and Luofu Marsh here? Let them tell us."

Xiaogushan Town was noisy, with outsiders almost outnumbering the locals. The Golden Wolf Tribe, Lei Clan, and others had a large number of experts stationed, waiting for orders.

"I heard that village is not simple, causing the strongest forces in this vast land to suffer a major loss."

"Is that true? That's impossible. These are two great lords, the Golden Wolf Tribe, and Luofu Marsh, each a powerful force in this vast land!"

The group couldn't believe it, showing shock.

A cold snort came, and a powerful figure from the Golden Wolf Tribe approached, his expression cold, his eyes icy, saying, "That village is almost finished, it will be erased, no longer existing!"

He had the confidence because the golden divine wolf from his tribe had come, the strongest sacrificial spirit within five thousand miles, living for a very long time. The tribal leader might not be the strongest in the land, but the golden divine wolf could be the strongest among the sacrificial spirits of the major tribes!

The powerful figures were shocked. The Golden Wolf Tribe was about to take drastic action. How could a village resist?

"There is a king among the ancient relics in the mountains, our tribe cannot compete for the mountain treasure, but eradicating this arrogant village will not require much effort." A descendant of Luofu Marsh spoke coldly.

Not long ago, they suffered a major loss, their leader Jiao Cang was crippled, and the experts they sent were almost all lost, causing the entire tribe to be enraged. Now, the strongest tribal leader had come; could they not destroy a village? They couldn't believe it.

"Yes, if we can't get the mountain treasure, we can take that village as compensation. They obtained a Suanni's sacred body, a village doesn't deserve such a treasure!" A member of the Lei Clan said.

"Ah, Lord Zishan has arrived!" At this moment, a cry of surprise echoed through Xiaogushan Town.

A purple sun hovered three feet above the ground, rushing past Xiaogushan Town and entering the primeval forest, heading towards Shi Village. Although it disappeared quickly, the terrifying aura still made everyone tremble!

Except for the hidden family, the Yun Clan, also known as the Yuntian Palace, whose strength was unknown, Lord Zishan was the strongest in the vast land within five thousand miles.

Even he had arrived, was it to punish that obscure village?

"The strongest has arrived. If he acts, perhaps only Lord Lei and the sacrificial spirit of the Golden Wolf Tribe can resist him!"

"Heaven, it's really Lord Zishan. Let's see what he's going to do." The powerful figures were excited. Such a supreme being rarely acted, and each time, it caused a great upheaval.

"Our tribal leader will naturally flatten that village. The dignity of the Zishan lineage cannot be violated!" A young man from the Zishan Clan said, his expression proud.

"Lord Zishan, who can compete with him? Once he acts, a tribe will surely be destroyed." Someone sighed, recalling past examples where Lord Zishan had single-handedly destroyed several powerful tribes.

At this moment, the forces of the Lei Clan, Luofu Marsh, and the Golden Wolf Tribe seemed to receive orders and rushed into the forest. Then, the Zishan Clan also moved.

Several major tribes were all heading in the same direction, their target being Shi Village.

"The mountain treasure is out of reach, they are going to destroy that village." Someone sighed.

"Several major tribes are moving together, with the leaders of the four major tribes personally present. This village is truly not simple!" Many people were amazed.

The Zishan Clan, Luofu Marsh, Lei Clan, and Golden Wolf Tribe all moved, a rare occurrence. As people discussed, they were all excited and eager. This would be a storm of a battle.

The strongest in the land, Lord Zishan, and the mysterious golden divine wolf, the strongest sacrificial spirit, along with several tribal leaders, were all present, promising a terrifying battle.
