A strange long cry came from the sky, and then a black shadow was seen blocking the sky, causing people living below to look up.
The giant black beast has a body like a giant rat, with a long tail and splayed limbs. Its fur is dark red mixed with brown, and its lower part is white with gray. It stretches slightly in the air. When it flies across the sky, its blood-red eyes turn and stare.
The pedestrians below then had saliva flowing out from their mouths.
Soon, the demonic beast made a sharp twist in the air, like a giant ship turning around, bringing up a large amount of airflow and whirring sound, and then swooped down.
And just when it was about to open its mouth to devour it, a loud roar came from the mountain. Three upper body strong men rushed down with swords and axes in their hands, and struck the giant rat on the crest with one blow.
There was a sound of bones breaking, and then several people rushed out from the bottom of the mountain and stepped forward together. Some used knives and some used guns. Their models were all extremely large, and there was a whistling and screaming sound when they were swung.
These people jointly attacked and captured the monster in a few minutes, which then attracted a burst of applause from the surrounding pedestrians.
In a tea pavilion on the street, Lorraine Hill's eyes looked at the battle scene through the veil, thoughtfully.
The disciples who fought the monster just now were all true disciples of Tiger Roaring Nine Desolate Mountains, and none of them were below the seventh level. Naturally, they could easily defeat the monster after joining forces.
But what made her curious was that this monster did not wander nearby, but suddenly emerged from the clouds and mist on the mountain peak, as if it was its first time in the world. It drooled when it saw the pedestrians below.
.
However, today is also the time to visit Huxiao Jiuhuang Mountain, so just ask directly then.
After she paid for the tea, she stood up and walked to the side street.
I casually glanced at the various stalls on the street. There are a lot of monster-related materials sold here, such as bones, animal teeth, furs, and some special herbs. The prices are much cheaper than outside.
It's a pity that I have passed the period of making money as a chamber of commerce lady. Otherwise, buying goods here and selling them later would still be a very good business.
Lorraine Hill walked through the lively market and walked towards the end of the central square. There was a wide step leading to the main peak. There were stone pillars of different heights on both sides of the step, with the images of various monsters carved on them.
The patterns and shapes are all kinds of strange and amazing.
Not long after Lorraine Hill stepped onto the stairs, two disciples stopped in front of her.
"Miss, in front of us is our headquarters at Tiger Roar Nine Wilderness Mountain. No one is allowed to enter unless you have an invitation." The two of them spoke concisely and wore light animal skin armor with excellent protective effects.
"I know, wait a minute." Lorraine Hill took out a greeting note sprinkled with gold paper from his arms. It had a gold-plated ton tree and a blazing sun printed on it, and a few small words 'Burning Sun and Feathers' written next to it.
The two of them glanced at the greeting card and exchanged words with each other.
"I didn't expect him to be a distinguished guest from the Xiangyu sect. Please come with me." After saying that, one of them led the way to Lorraine Hill and walked up the stairs.
This section of the winding mountain stairs is extremely long, and every other section is guarded by disciples from Jiuhuang Mountain. They carry weapons and swords, and they also monitor the mountains and fields below from the mountain peaks. If they find any monsters appearing, they will jump away.
Go down and fight with it.
Along the way, Lorraine Hill encountered such situations several times.
After turning several corners, the two finally arrived at the square and the faction's headquarters in the middle of the mountain. There were many buildings surrounding the square, and there were disciples in the center of the square listening to the lectures of the seniors in the center.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
I saw the instructor in the center holding a double snake spear, moving around the square, pieces of clothing flying, and the tip of the spear suddenly stabbed, and more than a dozen gorgeous silver flowers bloomed, sharp and dangerous.
"drink--"
After the demonstration, he stood back up and answered some questions from his fellow disciples below, such as force exertion techniques, enemy strategy, etc.
Although they were far apart, Lorraine Hill could hear it very clearly, which can be said to be very practical knowledge.
The Tiger Roar Jiuhuang Mountain is much better than the Xiangyu Sect in terms of combat skills. If the girl feels this, she is not too surprised. After all, this is not the specialty of the Xiangyu Sect.
If the disciples of Huxiao Jiuhuang Mountain are born for fighting, then the Xiangyu sect is more focused on technology, astronomy and geography, creation and refining medicine, astrological calculations, knowing the inner world, etc. Disciples in the sect do not spend a lot of money
Most of the time is spent on practicing combat, but on other tasks.
"Uncle Gao, this lady is from the Xiangyu sect and wants to visit our sect."
After leading Loland Hill to the square, the outer disciple went to an inner disciple from Jiuhuangshan to report the matter.
"Oh, are you the guest sent by Xiangyu? You are not welcome from afar." This Master Gao was about forty years old and had a goatee. He seemed to have a kind and humble face, but he had an upright figure.
The hands are like eagle claws, with clearly defined bones and flesh, making them look particularly sharp.
As he spoke, he unsealed the invitation, took out the pages, and read the words carefully.
Although Lorraine Hill is currently the leader of the Xianyu Sect, she did not deliberately indicate it in the letter. She only stated that she is the core of the Xianyu Sect. Such an identity is often at the top of a sect, comparable to a mortal.
The elder in the gang.
"Senior sister, I am being disrespectful. Please come in for a moment. I will inform the elders in the sect immediately for you." After reading the letter, the unconcerned Senior Uncle Gao immediately became respectful and quickly asked the disciples on the side to go.
notify.
Immediately, he led Lorraine Hill to the main hall and hall on one side of the square to sit down, and then asked the juniors around him to bring tea.
"It's a mountainous place. If you don't provide good hospitality, please don't blame me for asking Senior Sister."
"No." Lorraine Hill shook her head. Although Uncle Gao was a bit sleek and sophisticated, she also understood that this was generally required for people doing this kind of reception work.
Seeing the girl's reticent character, this 'Uncle Gao' didn't say much anymore. Instead, he sat aside with a slight uneasiness and waited quietly. Seeing that cautious look, he seemed to be waiting at any time.
Lorraine Hill's inquiry.
After a few minutes like this, a tall, dark-skinned man walked down from the mountain peak with a fierce momentum, and behind him was a group of true disciples of the roaring Jiuhuang Mountain. If you don't know,
I'm afraid I thought I was going to have a fight somewhere.
He walked quickly all the way to the outside of the main hall, and then his pace suddenly slowed down, and then he stepped into the hall unhurriedly, his eyes like lightning, looking directly at the delicate girl sitting on the chair.
Seeing the girl's weak and youthful appearance, the strong man unconsciously raised his brows, which seemed to be a little unpleasant. However, after taking a closer look, he felt that the girl's aura was like an abyss and could not be seen through, so he pressed it down again.
With doubts in mind, I stepped forward.
"I am Huxiao Jiuhuang Mountain, the chief of Zhangwo Peak, Lian Zhen. I don't know the name of this fellow of the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect." His aura was faintly exuding, like a lion shaking its mane, and the pressure was overflowing.
Seeing his serious and heroic look, Lorraine Hill tilted his head slightly and wanted to laugh, but he still held it back.
"It turns out it's Senior Brother Lianzhen. My name is Luo Lan. I'm sorry to be intruding when I visit today."
"Loland..." He thought about the name carefully.
Although Lorraine Hill is now very famous in the southwestern continents, most people do not call her by her first name. Instead, they often use names such as Golden Bird Witch, Xiangyu Sect Leader, or Xiangyu Feifeng, so that the real name has been replaced by the name.
Many people forget it accidentally.
Seeing that he didn't remember it for a moment, Lorraine Hill didn't want to point it out deliberately. She shook her head slightly and interrupted the other person's memories first.
"Senior Brother Lianzhen, there is no need to be polite. My coming here is just a personal matter and has nothing to do with the Xiangyu Sect."
"I see." He nodded in agreement, seemingly not remembering the meaning of this girl's real name.
"I also ask Junior Sister Luo to come with me to climb the mountain." Then he made a gesture of invitation.
Then Lorraine Hill and the tall Senior Brother Lianzhen walked side by side, talking all the way to the top of the mountain.
Tiger Roaring Nine Wild Mountains does not mean that there are nine mountains here, but it means many. There are many strange steep peaks, which are like swords inserted into the earth. Many people live under the five densest peaks.
, this is the origin of the faction.
The Zhuori Xiangyu Sect is divided into three lines of inheritance. At that time, Qingyu Shangxian meant Jinhua, Luolan, and Gu Lie, each of whom controlled a lineage. The Jiuhuang Mountain was divided into five peaks, and the peak leader of each peak was
They are the chiefs of a lineage, and they are all eighth-level cores.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Lianzhen sat in the spacious and majestic hall and chatted with Lorraine Hill. There was also a lot of food on the table, some were fruits, some were cooked meats, and there were drinks on the side. It seemed that this Jiuhuang Mountain
The style is very different from other places.
"Why does Junior Sister Luolan want to come to Jiuhuang Mountain? After all, this place is actually remote and not prosperous."
"I heard about the great disaster in Qianzhou, and the monsters hated the canal and were killed by Huai Chang, so I went to worship it. Later, I learned a lot about it, so I came to Jiuhuang Mountain to pay a visit."
"It turns out that there are indeed many outsiders coming to the mountain during this period, and they all come to pay homage to Senior Brother Huaichang." He shook his head with emotion.
"Senior Brother Huaichang is the leader of our sect. His strength is unparalleled in the world. It can be said that everyone in the sect is dissatisfied. Our sect should have regained its glory under his leadership. I don't want to encounter this."
"But I, a disciple of Jiuhuang Mountain, am not as sad as the outside world thinks. Fighting monsters is inherently dangerous and dangerous. How can we be safe every time?"
"The passing of Senior Brother Huaichang was within our expectation. Before he left, he asked us that if he did not return, another junior brother would be selected from the Five Peaks Masters to take over the position of leader."
"Then who can be chosen now?" Lorraine Hill asked.
"Not yet, but soon."
"In three days, the secret realm of the Minion will be opened again, and monsters will spill out. We and other disciples will catch and kill them one by one. At that time, whichever peak sect has harvested the most will be the winner.
The Lord takes over the throne.”
"Can you tell me more about this secret realm?" Lorraine Hill asked.
She came to Jiuhuang Mountain firstly to pay homage to Huai Chang and see if Jiuhuang Mountain needed any help, and secondly because of the secret realm within Tiger Roaring Jiuhuang Mountain.
Different from other hidden and powerful cave heaven secret realms, this secret realm of Tiger Roar Nine Wild Mountains cannot be controlled. It has always been in a state of semi-loss of control and chaos and fragmentation. This has also created many local monsters, just like Xi Mu back then.
Like a demon in the mountains.
But unlike those monsters in the Ximu Mountains, the monsters here have not been infected by the Nine Netherworld Qi, but will become more ferocious and cruel, so people have to be stationed for a long time to clean them up.
Over time, the cultivators who killed monsters here slowly gathered together to form Tiger Roar Jiuhuang Mountain, a famous sect with little reputation.
Although its origin is simple and cannot be compared with the direct lineage of the Five Phoenixes, with the help of local ferocious monsters and the accumulation of various materials, the Jiuhuangshan sect has grown rapidly, and the sect has gradually accumulated a set of extremely powerful
Superb fighting skills.
After learning part of the origin and history of Jiuhuang Mountain from Lianzhen, the two talked about some recent events.
…
"Loland is very interested in our daily life, haha."
…
"Actually, I find it quite boring. It's just that Luo Lan has just come from the outside world and hasn't adapted yet."
…
"Oh, Junior Sister Luolan, do you want to come along and find out? It's not difficult, just come with me tomorrow."
…
"As for the position of leader, although I am competitive, it is not too strong. I will go all out and wait for the results."
After that, Lorraine Hill talked to him a lot, some about how the locals lived, and some about the encounters along the way.
"Hahaha, I don't want Junior Sister Luolan to encounter such an interesting thing again." Lianzhen laughed loudly after hearing the three swordsmen asking Luolan Hill for help.
After laughing, the man took a sip of tea and then stood up.
"It just so happens that I have free time today. I wonder if Junior Sister Luolan has practiced a few moves with me. I haven't seen the methods of other disciples of the same level."
"Sparring, but you may not be used to my style." Lorraine Hill shook her head. She doesn't know how to fight with punches and exchanges. Senior brother Gu Lie is very good at it.
"It's okay, it's just a good idea. We have lived in the mountains for a long time. Although we have fought against monsters, we don't have much experience in fighting against people."
"Senior Brother Huaichang lost to Sudenglou, and we have always regretted it."
"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful." Lorraine Hill stood up, and the two of them walked out of the hall and came to the open space outside.
This is the top of the mountain, right in the clouds and mist, giving it a vague fairyland feel. In the sea of clouds, you can occasionally see Jiuhuangshan disciples riding giant dragons and flying birds, which is very special.
After walking to the open space, other disciples on the summit came over curiously to watch, wanting to know what kind of grace and strength the disciples of the Xiangyu Sect who are now famous have.
"Then, let's begin now." Lianzhen touched his fists, then leaned down slightly, looking closely at the girl in front of him.
I saw Lorraine Hill spreading her hands, her eyes slightly closed, and little bits of flaming air rising from the distant sea and mountains, and then sweeping over. As she raised her hands, they turned into long dragons of roaring flames in the sky.
Flying and rushing.
Under the flame dragon, fluttering golden scales appeared between the girl's brows, and her robes also fluttered slightly in the heat wave, constantly swaying, and finally the veil was partially lifted, revealing a little of her face.
There seemed to be flames rising quietly in his eyes. As Lorraine Hill pointed his finger forward, the flame dragon hundreds of times larger than the girl swooped down from the sky, breaking through countless mountain fog and smoke clouds along the way, bringing with it billowing heat waves.
Go straight to the standing response Lianzhen.
"drink!"
Lian Zhen was filled with excitement when facing the flame dragon. Electricity and fire intertwined between his fists, and then he punched out with all his strength, tearing the sky apart, and rushed forward.
