Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

A hundred years ago.

Yuan Gang was born out of nowhere and fought the three demon kings alone in Zhongshan City.

If it hadn't been for the failure to awaken the candle dragon due to the lack of key conditions, that battle might have a chance to change the world.

"The final battlefield is on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, with hundreds of thousands of monsters watching. Yuan Gang first severely injured the Bull Demon King, and then broke the Jiao Demon King's back. We thought he would succeed in high spirits."

To this day, Zhumo and Songyue still remember the scene of the final battle at that time, and their eyes were full of longing when they described it.

Zhu Xia who was sitting across from them couldn't hide the sadness on her face.

She failed to set foot on the battlefield with Yuan Gang, and even the latter's defeat was only dictated by other monsters, which made her miserable.

Because of this, Zhu Xia couldn't help turning her eyes to Yan Jing beside her. She didn't care whether the latter was Yuan Gang's reincarnation or not. up.

"Yuan Gang's body was not destroyed, I'm sure!"

At the end of the topic, Zhumo gave his own conclusion.

"How to say?"

"Although it is difficult to see the changes in the center of the battlefield from our position, Songyue and I thought about snatching Yuan Gang's body and burying it afterwards, so we specifically asked the monsters who were closer to the battlefield at that time."

Songyue took over the conversation, leaned forward, and said,

"Yuan Gang died from exhaustion, and the three demon kings were all severely injured. Among the surviving monsters, some of them wanted to take the opportunity to show their merits and cut off Yuan Gang's head, but they were crushed and killed by the Bull Demon King on the spot. If I remember correctly, At that time, someone heard the Demon King Peng calling a monster to come forward and answer, to deal with Yuan Gang's corpse, Bone Demon!"

"The bone spirit who came out of the ancient battlefield of East Zhanzhou?"

Hearing familiar names appear in Songyue's narration, Lao Yuan interrupted and asked.

Another guy Yan Jing had never heard of, he could only turn his questioning eyes to Lao Yuan, and the latter immediately explained.

The so-called East Zhanzhou Ancient Battlefield is the place where Shinto fought against extraterrestrial demons. Hundreds of years ago, it became a restricted area of ​​life, filled with all kinds of monsters polluted by evil spirits. Come out of the monster.

It is said that its body is the skeleton of a certain god, but it was corroded by evil energy, and finally mutated into a very special existence.

After coming to Zhongshan City, the bone spirit became the strongest under the three demon kings.

The strange thing is that its whereabouts are elusive, and it wanders around in Zhongshan most of the time, and ordinary monsters can't find it at all.

Not only has no interest in gaining power, but also has been mixed with various corpses all year round.

"At that time, the Demon King Peng summoned the Bone Essence to come forward. He must have used its ability to study Yuan Gang and try to figure out the connection between the Destiny Man and the Candle Dragon. I even suspect that the bait they are talking about is based on the research results in this area. from."

Tapping the table with her fingers, Yan Jing made a final conclusion based on the information provided by several people.

To awaken the Candle Dragon, the Destiny Man is an indispensable condition.

Since the demon kings are only one step away in this regard, it is enough to prove that they have studied the man of destiny, that is, Yuan Gang.

"What to do next, please instruct!"

The bug is still working, but the useful information is over, Zhumo got up and said.

"Now that we have found the clue, we will start from this aspect."

Yan Jing raised two fingers and continued,

"Two things. First, find the exact location of the Bone Demon as quickly as possible. No matter what it did back then, it will always know the situation about Yuan Gang's corpse."

"Second, I need a detailed topographic map of Zhongshan, and the sooner the better."

Songzhuju is only a logistics organization, and it has been abandoned for many years. Yan Jing knows that he can't count on them too much, so he simplifies the task as much as possible, and has no intention of asking them to investigate the core secrets of Zhongshan City.

Now that the demon kings know that the Man of Destiny has appeared, the entire Zhongshan City will soon be on high alert.

Yan Jing didn't want Songzhuju to be noticed by demons because of trying to obtain information.

It is undoubtedly much easier to find the whereabouts of the Bone Demon alone.

After receiving the order, Songzhu and his wife acted immediately, and Lao Yuan, who had just recovered from his serious injury, followed up to provide support for them.

Before they left, they arranged the best room for Yan Jing and Zhu Xia to rest in.

It's just that Yan Jing obviously won't stop acting at this critical moment.

"There are still a few hours before dawn. I'm going to Zhongshan to try to sense the location of the candle dragon. The palaces of the demon kings are on the mountain peaks, and there are heavy guards in the middle to forcibly surround an area. I think there may be Hiding something."

After walking out of the quiet room, Yan Jing said to Zhu Xia.

Although the demons have never found Zhulong in these years, Yan Jing still wants to sneak into Zhongshan for a try.

Even if Candle Dragon can't be sensed, if you can find the location where the demon kings are conducting experiments, it will be an extremely important intelligence clue.

"I will go with you."

Knowing that Yan Jing was about to leave, Zhu Xia said immediately.

"No, you have to stay here. We have just been to Tianjiao Palace, so there is no guarantee that the Flood Demon King will not summon you suddenly. If we all disappear in Zhongshan City at this time, it will easily arouse suspicion. You should stay here."

Yan Jing raised her hand, and tapped the little spider on the back of the other hand,

"We just use it to communicate and let it remind me if there is a situation where I have to come back."

Zhu Xia knew that not only would she not be able to help by forcefully following her, but she would also easily cause trouble, so she chose to stay behind after a brief silence.

midnight.

Yan Jing disguised herself as Rajah, quietly left Zhongshan City, and entered the surrounding mountain area.

The brightly lit city gradually faded away, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.

The prosperity of Zhongshan City did not have much impact on the surrounding mountains. Most of the mountains where Zhongshan is located still retain their original state. Animals and plants are affected by the evil energy and grow wildly.

Traveling through the jungle on the ground, Yan Jing's goal is very clear, that is the mountain top area where the Demon King is.

Candle Dragon is sleeping somewhere in Zhongshan.

Yan Jing didn't think it would be near the palace built by the monsters, and chose to go to the top of the mountain, the reason is very simple.

On the one hand, [Tongxuan] induction is more dominant at high places, and can exert the greatest effect.

On the other hand, Yan Jing thinks that after learning that the Destiny Man is about to arrive in Zhongshan City, the demon kings will probably want to check their research to find the candle dragon first, to ensure that it can operate normally.

This is Yan Jing's best chance.

Relying on the ability to fly through the sky, coupled with [Tong Xuan]'s perception of possible dangers in the surrounding environment, Yan Jing easily passed the outposts that the demon kings had placed in Zhongshan, and came to the top of Zhongshan.

The increase in altitude makes the vegetation more sparse, and the peak is covered with white snow.

Fortunately, the rugged rocks provided excellent cover for Yan Jing.

Half-squat on the top of a protruding sharp stone.

A huge moon was hanging in the sky above his head, and Yan Jing could even see some dark yellow traces on it, the starry sky was covered by the clouds in the night, and the silver-gray moonlight shone on his back.

At the foot are snow-covered peaks, three magnificent palaces distributed under the snow line, and farther away is the brightly lit Zhongshan City. Bring some coolness.

Check the surrounding area to make sure there are no monsters patrolling.

Yan Jing sat cross-legged on the spot, half-closed her eyes, and fully activated her five senses.

The Mysterious Sensation upgraded from the Insect Premonition is fully activated.

Yan Jing doesn't even need to deliberately observe anything, as long as he spreads out his mental power, everything around him will be reflected in his mind at the fastest speed.

Snow cover, rocks, trees.

Animals running in the forest, birds and beasts lying among the branches.

Countless scenes flashed before the eyes like a revolving lantern, and a new picture filled in the next second.

At this time, Yan Jing was like a computer running at high speed. As long as he wanted, he could extract the perceived images individually and enlarge them for further investigation.

It's just that maintaining this state consumes a lot of Yan Jing's mental and physical strength.

Rao, with his current strength, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, so he can only find a way to speed up.

Thankfully, the goal is clear.

Yan Jing directly targeted the area near the three palaces where the Demon King was located, trying to find out the area where they were conducting research first.

Judging by the naked eye alone is not feasible, so let's start with the patrol team.

The denser the patrols are, the more likely it is the place where the demon kings are performing rituals.

Not to mention, after Yan Jing monitored for a while, he did find a small area in the central area of ​​the three palaces, almost where all the patrol teams' routes must pass.

will it be there
Determine the location and temporarily end the Xuantong state.

Yan Jing, who was already a little sweaty on his forehead, let out a long sigh of relief, thinking whether to sneak in and investigate now.

With a low spit, Yan Jing temporarily chose to give up sneaking in.

The sense of mystery can only make him notice this area, but it can't forcefully break through the barriers and thick mountain walls set by the monsters, and spy on what's inside.

If you sneak in without knowing what is inside, it's fine if you don't get discovered. If you are noticed by the monster, it will easily affect the follow-up actions.

After all, the Shochiku couple was already looking for the Bone Demon at this time.

Unless it is difficult to find the bone spirit, it is never a good idea to startle the snake now.

After a short rest, Yan Jing began to try to complete the second goal of climbing Zhongshan, trying to find Zhulong.

Tongxuan Sensei obviously can't help in this aspect. Candle Dragon is definitely not simply hiding in Zhongshan. Yan Jing suspects that it may be an independent space located somewhere in Zhongshan. it wakes up.

After thinking about it, only the image of Dragon and Tiger Yama is the most likely.

This is the biggest difference between Yan Jing and the previous Man of Destiny, he has not completed the golden body, and his physical strength is not comparable to Yuan Gang.

On the other hand, the dragon and tiger Yan Luo Statue is the core of Shinto, and in Yan Jing's view, it is the only place where he can connect with Zhulong.

After calming down, Yan Jing's head suddenly drooped.

The brilliant golden streamer overflows from all parts of the body, and activates the dragon and tiger Yama statue at the same time as the yin spirit comes out of the body.

With Yan Jing as the center, the power of faith poured into the mountain of Zhongshan, and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

This time Yan Jing deliberately avoided the three nearby palaces.

Once the power of faith and evil energy come into contact, conflicts are inevitable, and this kind of turmoil is very likely to be noticed by demons.

With the passage of time, the scope of the power of faith has continued to expand.

There was no trace of joy on Yan Jing's face.

Although he was mentally prepared before coming, he was quite disappointed by the result of no response.

Not to mention sensing Cheng's sleeping Zhulong, Yan Jing didn't even notice the existence that might be related to it.

Just when Yan Jing was about to give up the search and return to Songzhu Residence to wait for the news, his figure suddenly trembled, and Tong Xuan suddenly started to function without being actively activated by Yan Jing.

The image of dragon and tiger Yan Luo retracted into his body in an instant, and Yan Jing only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The black snow peak suddenly gave off a dazzling light.

Instead, there was a round of pale sun that could not feel the temperature at all. Yan Jing had just seen it when she was at the ferry during the day.

Gray clouds of smoke lingered around the sun, like wisps of shadow, entwining the celestial body that should have released infinite light and heat.

Yan Jing realized that this was Tongxuan's future prediction warning herself.
Just like the gray sea of ​​death between the cracks on the moon that I saw when the moon crisis broke out not long ago.

The problem is that Yan Jing is a little confused by this future prediction. Just showing the sun, what is it implying?
Could it be that the extraterrestrial demons have already occupied the sun of this world?

Yan Jing somewhat doubted this conjecture, after all, even with his meager knowledge of astronomy, he knew that the temperature on the surface of the sun was extremely exaggerated, and no living things could survive on it.
etc!temperature?
Suddenly raising her hand to look directly at the sun that appeared in the future prediction, Yan Jing's heart sank.

Ever since he saw the sun for the first time this morning, he wondered why the sunlight in this world has no temperature at all. Is this sphere hanging in the sky really the sun?

A strong sense of crisis sent chills down Yan Jing's spine.

Immediately, he suddenly realized that its source was not just the future prediction, and hurriedly pulled away from the state of fugue, and his figure disappeared on the top of the mountain.

Because of the special state when predicting the future, Yan Jing couldn't suppress her breath.

About ten seconds later, strong winds swept in.

The snow on the surface of the rock was completely blown away, and the Peng Demon King appeared from the darkness, his brows furrowed.

"Illusion?"

The pupils of both eyes shrunk, and the Peng Demon King searched the surrounding forests, trying to find the guy who might be hiding in it.

Not long ago, he suddenly sensed an abnormal reaction in the mountaintop area of ​​Zhongshan, and immediately came as fast as possible.

Unexpectedly, it was still a step late.

Soon the Jiao Demon King also rushed to the scene and asked straightforwardly,
"Man of destiny?"

"Not sure, there are no traces left at the scene, and it may be those restless rebels in Zhongshan City. What happened in Peng'an must have spread here."

Annoyed that he was one step late and failed to catch the person who appeared here just now, the Roc Demon King had a gloomy expression and said coldly,
"Martial law in the whole city, check!"
