Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 180 179. The Peeping Person
The area north of Changbai Mountain is barren and uninhabited.

In the past, there were only a few sporadic small towns and villages here, but now there are vast and boundless ancient lands on the surface, and the original human smoke is even more impossible to feel.

The long distance separates people from each other, and they cannot see each other.

Fortunately, most of the people living in this area are not dependent on modern technology, they have their own way of life.Whether it was hunting, farming, or serving as a local folklore tour guide.The electricity and internet were cut off, but there was no shortage of pure water.Those rivers come from the melting ice and snow on the high mountains, no medicine is needed, and those flowing streams and rivers are the best treasures that the world brings to the people here.

After drinking, the energy is more abundant and vigorous, and even the body becomes stronger.

This is a village dotted on the edge of the forest area of ​​Changbai Mountain. The village is close to a river meandering from the main dragon vein of Changbai Mountain.The young people in the village feel the most obvious. Their current strength is much stronger than before, and they have become burly and powerful.

In the past few years, it seems to have experienced the transformation from modern to primitive society.

The coming-of-age ceremony for young people is to go deep into the forest area in the south of the village, kill a beast, and drag its body back.Possessing this skill is a necessity for future survival, and it is also an important basis for this village to stand beside this river.It is not uncommon to see powerful beasts living near or even in the river. The way for the villagers to obtain the river water is not easy, and it can even be said to be dangerous.

Although they haven't seen it for sure, they know that there must be quite terrifying creatures deep in the mountains.

On certain nights, one can sometimes see the flickering lights and the shaking ground in the depths of the forest, and some kind of beast-like roar resounds through the sky.This kind of situation is rare, but they exist, and they show their existence to the people here.Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony of young people goes deep into the forest area. The forest area has boundaries, and what is needed are not those strange and terrifying creatures, but ferocious beasts. For young people who have grown up with the "holy river", they have their own transformation. The ferocious beasts that used to be very dangerous to humans did not pose much threat to them.

But today is an exception.

The cellars of the village entered the twelfth lunar month in the past years, and the new year's goods such as chicken, duck and fish were cleaned up and placed in the cellar.Now the dark cellar was crowded with people.

Mostly women and children.

From time to time, sand and gravel would fall on the ground, causing sloshing.Amidst the sloshing and violent roaring, one can hear mothers comforting children, babies crying, and old people sighing.These voices are intertwined, turning into an invisible mirror to reflect the emotions on every face in the cramped space.Worry, anxiety, fear, confusion.

On the ground, on the high wall built by the village, the old hunter frowned.

With the movement of the huge shadow, the high wall was smashed. The old hunter rolled over and landed with unimaginable movements and strength, approaching the height of a three-story building. He fell like this without any damage. The bone blade, his right hand has been placed on the handle of the bone blade.

He didn't know what happened, those terrible guys deep in the mountains appeared on this land during the day.

This is the first time I have seen it from such a distance.

After the huge shadow crashed into the high wall, it kicked off the ground, and the swing of its body crashed into the house.

Hugeness is the first impression. The strong muscles and the fur covering the creature give people a ferocious look. The whole body is a bright golden color with grimace-like jet-black markings on it.The old hunter has seen many ferocious beasts. The "monster" in front of him is similar to a leopard, but with a single horn standing upright on its head, reflecting the cold light, making the temperature in winter a little bit colder.

It is four-legged, with a low body.

But even so, this thing has the height of two floors.

There are still figures swaying in some of the protective buildings in the village. They are people who came to participate in the defense line together.There are veterans like old hunters, and there are young adults who have bathed in the holy river.The old hunter stared at the one-horned ghost leopard. This was the first time the village encountered such a terrifying existence, a "monster" from the depths of the mountain.Demon is an accurate description of the old hunter, even though he didn't believe it in the past.

The ghost-striped leopard stared at the old hunter carrying the bone blade, its head was shaking, and its powerful hearing and perception abilities brought it information hidden in the village.

A small sword on its body glowed.

The pupils of the ghost-striped leopard flickered fiercely. It looked around, and the patterns of grimaces on its body were circulating.

"Roar!" A roar shook the area for several miles.

The giant leopard roared with its head held high, and the roar almost pierced the eardrums of the competitors in the distance.

The old hunter pulled out the bone blade from behind, which looked like the teeth or claws of some huge creature, naturally forming some kind of mysterious pattern.After he pulled out the bone blade, the mysterious lines rippled, and he was the closest to this big monster. If he didn't pull out the blade, it would be difficult for his body to resist.

Roar relay, spread.

Suddenly, the old hunter felt something was wrong.

The roar of the ferocious beasts he encountered during the decades of hunting is not only to demonstrate and warn the opponent, but also has a function...calling companions!
The pitch-black coat was opened, and the old body rushed towards the ghost-spotted leopard at a speed that the naked eye could not catch.

After several years of tacit understanding, the people guarding other places moved at the same time.

But the ghost-striped leopard standing with its limbs outstretched was unmoved. It raised its head and looked towards the south, the forest area and the mountains, as if it was waiting for something.

"Boom--!"

The roar was like thunder rolling through the mountains.

It was suddenly dark.

Everyone's attitude towards the ghost-striped leopard was frozen in the air.

In all directions, there is an ancient battlefield of blood and swords standing faintly. It has the shape of towering mountains and seems to stretch endlessly. Broken swords, knives, guns, and flags.Even the old hunter saw an unspeakably terrifying corpse, the size of a head, which would be compared to a raised hillside.The thick cloud layer pushed towards the village from the direction of the mountain, and the blue-green thunder light flickered out of it, instantly creating a doomsday-like scene.

The land under the cold winter is even colder.

Maybe it's bleak.

At this moment, it was as if someone had opened the gate of hell and released thousands of fierce ghosts to come to the world to seek their lives. Those figures shrouded in shadows wandered along the clouds, passed through the forest, and passed through the broken houses.

The ghost-striped leopard bowed its head, facing the disdainful eyes of humans, full of awe at the moment.

Those who have not yet embarked on the road to rise have no idea what it means to create this scene.

But it knows.

Royal realm.

The person who came was a Demon King of Extreme Palace Realm.

Thousands of ghost figures are cruising in the sky, they seem to be looking for something.

The moment the ghost shadow passed by, the still space seemed to return to normal.The people who were forced to stop and were frozen in the air fell to the ground suddenly, and could no longer raise their heads.

The old hunter didn't last long, but at the end of the broken bone blade, his eyes saw the blue thunder falling from the sky.
