As you go deeper into the Nanling Mountains, the mountains become higher and the forests become denser. In the end, they are completely virgin forests with towering ancient trees and few people.
It is said that the ancient land of demon gods is hidden in the deepest part of Nanling. It is a famous evil place on the Kunlun continent, and is as famous as Kunlun Ruins, Ghost Ruins, Glacier Abyss, etc.
Although it is a sinister place, it is also recognized as a holy place by the demon clan. It is said that the demon god that the demon clan believes in came out of the ancient demon god land and helped countless beasts open their spiritual wisdom, which is why the Nanling demon clan is now powerful.
Therefore, in the hearts of the Nanling Demon Clan, the Ancient Land of Demon God is a sacred place. The closer the place where they live, the stronger the tribe will be.
This led to a phenomenon: the more powerful the demon tribes were in Nanling, the deeper they lived in Nanling.
As the head of the six demon tribes, the ape tribe is naturally located closest to the ancient land of demon gods.
Legend has it that when the demon gods came out of the ancient land, the first group to be enlightened in spiritual intelligence was the ape tribe.
The above-mentioned information was all obtained by Gu Chen and others when they disguised themselves as monsters and asked about the way to the ape tribe.
In addition, it was an eye-opener for them along the way. There were so many types of monsters. They saw an old turtle carrying mountains and a strange bird with six eyes.
In other parts of Kunlun Continent, ordinary wild beasts are the most common, and monster beasts are relatively rare. But in Nanling, monster beasts can be seen everywhere. Even an ordinary rabbit has become a spirit here and can fly on the wind.
.
"It is simply a natural treasure house. Countless demon pills and rare materials can be sold for sky-high prices on the black market!"
The Ghost King looked at the many monsters he saw along the way and sighed with emotion.
Monsters are often full of treasures. Their fur, flesh, etc. are of great use to human monks and can be used to refine various magic weapons. Their demon pills can even be refined into pills for improving cultivation.
Normally, the materials for these monster beasts are extremely rare and are often sold at high prices on the black market, but in Nanling, they can be seen everywhere.
Of course, these "materials" are alive, and you have to kill them if you want to get them. If you do this in Nanling, it will easily cause siege from other demon clans.
It is for this reason that the price of monster materials remains high in the human market.
"The Nanling Monster Clan has always been united and has always been unanimous in dealing with the outside world on major issues related to the survival of the race. If not for this, they would have been massacred by the human monks long ago due to the huge value hidden in them."
Gu Chen thought of the relevant books he had read in Zhenwu Academy, and silently thought about how to persuade the ape demon saint when he saw it.
Now that Huangfu Wuji has unified the Middle-earth Empire, the next step is to sweep across the four regions. Once Nanling is captured by him, the Nanling Monster Clan will face a very sad situation.
With the huge value hidden in Nanling, he could imagine how many demon clans would die in misfortune once Nanling was taken, and would be reduced to bottles of pills and materials.
Along the way, he saw a lot of natural scenery that had not been destroyed by humans. Gu Chen firmly wanted to return a peaceful environment to the Nanling Monster Clan, and also planned to express his interests in this aspect and let the major tribes in Nanling form an alliance with him.
Gu Chen's group of "monsters" are of various types, especially his honey badger, which is too conspicuous. Whenever a monster approaches, it releases a powerful "demon king" pressure. Therefore, although there are many monsters encountered,
There was no one looking for trouble.
Nanling was really too big. After flying for many days, everyone gradually approached the ape tribe.
In the distance, a huge mountain that is more than ten times taller than the surrounding mountains, as if it reaches straight into the sky, comes into view.
The mountain was completely bare and covered with rocks, as if it had been scorched by thunder and fire from the sky.
Its mountain body seemed to have been split by a giant sword from heaven and earth, split into two halves, with a slender gap in the middle extending from the ground to the sky.
"The Yixiantian Canyon where the giant mountain is located should be the legendary ancient land of demon gods, right?"
Everyone recalled the descriptions of the monsters along the way, Zhao Rou said curiously.
The Ancient Demon God Land is so easy to recognize. It stands like that in the deepest part of the Nanling Mountains, standing out from the crowd. It is hard not to see it.
And when you find it, you also find the ape tribe, because according to the description, the ape tribe is dozens of miles northeast of the ancient land of the demon god.
"Finally arrived at the destination."
Gu Chen let out a breath, this Nanling Mountain was really too big, and walking there would waste a lot of time.
Everyone identified the direction and flew towards the ape tribe at top speed.
"Ho~~~"
"唳——"
Approaching the ape tribe, there were obviously more demons flying in the sky, and many of them were tribal demons.
When they saw Gu Chen and his group, many tribes of monsters cast their eyes over them. When they saw the "honey badger" at the head, they snorted coldly.
Gu Chen and others noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and the Ghost King frowned. "It's strange. If there is nothing going on between the demon tribes, they will not easily enter the areas of other tribes. But along the way, except for the ape tribe, we saw no one."
Shaonanling is a wealthy family."
"Did something happen to the ape tribe?" Lu Yichen guessed.
"You'll know when you go there, but I feel like some monsters are hostile to me."
Gu Chen's eyes were deep in thought, and several demon clansmen who had just passed by looked at him in unusual ways.
"Hey, stinky crewhead!"
While he was talking, a red phoenix bird flew from a distance and passed over him.
"You came quite quickly, huh, but why are you the only one? And why are you hanging out with the people from the Five Elements Tribe?"
Huangniao seemed to know Gu Chen and said in a familiar manner.
Gu Chen's heart moved, fearing that the phoenix bird had mistaken him for the Honey Badger Demon King, so he did not explain and replied calmly, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Hey, you just messed up something big and you still dare to act confidently!"
Huangniao looked unhappy, "Forget it, when we get to the ape tribe, there will be many people at the meeting who want to deal with you!"
After it finished speaking, it spread its big wings and flew away. What it said before leaving made everyone look at each other.
"Meeting? It seems that something big happened in the ape tribe today."
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing to visit the apes at this critical moment.
"Gu Daozi, there are many people with mixed eyes. If you are forced to do so later, it is best not to reveal your identity."
The Ghost King reminded Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded. He originally planned to visit Sun Jinming when he entered the ape tribe, and then negotiate with the ape demon saint through him, but now he had to think carefully.
With so many monsters gathered in one place, if the negotiation fails and something goes wrong, it will be very difficult for him to protect himself, which may put everyone in danger.
More importantly, once there are many people, there is no guarantee that there are no spies from the Hades Palace. His alliance with the four alien races needs to be kept secret for the time being. It is best not to let others know about his movements, otherwise Huangfu Wuji will have trouble in advance.
