Chapter 581: Encountering a Monster at Night, Calling It the Boss?
After three days of preparation, Tong Yan finally decided to set off. Outside the city gate, Tong Yan personally handed over the box that the nightingale had been holding when he came to the third prince.
What it contains is actually a book, a book written in children's words. The title of the book, Thirty-six Strategies!
"Brother Hong, whether I come back alive or not, I hope that you can promise me one thing."
The third prince took the box and nodded in response: "Brother Zhao, if you have something to say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" ”
Tong Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "I hope you can always be good friends with my Zhao Kingdom in your lifetime." If Zhao Guo is in trouble, please help me a lot. The Northern Yan Kingdom is by no means as simple as we imagined, and behind them is likely to be the Tower of Babel. Only when the Flying Dragon Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom join forces can they maintain the peace of the Destruction Realm and let the people here live in peace. You are a kind person and the person I respect the most, please promise me no matter what. All right? ”
The third prince nodded heavily and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry." Brother, I am just a friend of yours in this life, and I will definitely do what you ask. But you also have to promise me one thing, no matter what, you will live. I'm waiting to have a drink with you, waiting for you to come back! ”
The two hugged tightly, and Tong Yan stepped on the horse and led people towards the mysterious holy mountain.
The third prince helped Tong Yan find a total of five masters, and these five girls were different from what Tong Yan saw in Xisha Pass. Each of them wore a necklace made of polished sacred stones around their necks. With this holy stone necklace, they can perform witchcraft at any time, and they will have the strength to fight against the five-rank soul officials.
In the past month or so, Tong Yan's cultivation has not improved much, but the nightingale's ability to control water has improved by leaps and bounds.
She can now use water to attack, or to condense into a water shield for defense.
With the help of five shrine maidens and nightingales, Tong Yan became more confident. What are the secrets in the holy mountain, and what gods are worshiped in the holy city? I believe it won't take long to unravel them all.
Xili City is more than 1,000 miles away from the Holy Mountain, and it is by no means accessible in a short time. The five witches knew a lot about the holy mountain, and with them leading the way, Tong Yan was very relieved.
Probably because of their special status, these five shrine maidens were silent all the way. But the nightingale, who kept talking along the way, seemed to have a lot to say to Tong Yan, as if she would never have a chance again.
Tong Yan listened to her patiently, although the sound of the horse's hooves was too loud, and he didn't hear much clearly, but he still tried to respond.
After a day of traveling, the group finally stopped in a small village. It was already dark, and both people and horses needed to rest. At the suggestion of the five shrine maidens, Tong Yan decided to spend the night here.
The people in this village are very simple, and after seeing Tong Yan and the other people's costumes, they were not afraid, but warmly invited them to come over as guests.
In fact, many people in the countryside are hospitable, and as long as you have bad intentions, they will treat you as relatives. In modern terms, this is called folk customs and literacy.
Tong Yan tied up their horses, bought a little fodder from the villagers, and followed the kind villagers into the house.
The architecture of the Flying Dragon Kingdom is very different from that of the Zhao Kingdom, where the temperature is low all year round and the winter time is longer, so the walls of the house are not only thick, but also support the stove all year round.
"Distinguished guests, where are you from?"
Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Hello uncle, we are from Xili City. ”
When the old villager heard this, he immediately cheered: "It turns out that you are from the territory of the third prince, and when you go back, you must greet His Royal Highness the third prince on our behalf." He snatched a lot of grain from the Northern Yan Kingdom and gave it to us poor people. He is a good man, and he will definitely become the wisest king of the Wyvern Kingdom. ”
It seems that these three princes are indeed not ordinary people, and if they want to become future kings, it is quite important to establish a good image among the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. The people are water, and the king is the boat. He can understand this truth, and he will definitely bring prosperity and tranquility to the Wyvern Kingdom in the future.
Tong Yan and the old villager chatted for a short time, and the people in the village brought very delicious food.
I really didn't expect that there would be meat in such a remote village, which made the nightingale a little overjoyed.
This meat sauce is very similar to the elbow that is often eaten in the world. Not only is the color attractive, but also the aroma is tangy.
"Uncle, what kind of meat is this?"
When the old villager heard this, he smiled and said, "This is the leg meat of the earth dragon, but whenever a guest comes, we will use it to entertain you." Come on, try it. It's not as delicious as Ciri, but it's the best food in our village! ”
Before Tong Yan could make a move, the nightingale couldn't wait to pick up a large piece with a fork. Seeing how she ate with relish, the five shrine maidens couldn't help but take off their masks and join in.
Although Tong Yan didn't know what an earth dragon was, he had to say that the taste of this meat was really good. Paired with the village's own brewed shochu, it tastes amazing.
Dinner ended in a joyful atmosphere, and the old villager deliberately vacated a room for Tong Yan and them to live in.
There was a fire kang in the house, which surprised Tong Yan. There was a large kang, and several people were crowded and lay down.
Probably as he entered the house, the horses outside the house roared restlessly. The horse's cry suddenly woke up Tong Yan and them, because they didn't take off their clothes, so Tong Yan turned over and got off the kang, and then quickly pushed the door and walked out.
After going out this way, he couldn't help but stare at him, and then quickly pulled out the soft sword hidden in the soft gold armor.
In the open space less than ten meters away from the house, a behemoth appeared at this moment. This thing was four or five meters tall, with four legs and a head, and its whole body was pitch black, except for a huge eye and a huge mouth on the head.
Tong Yan was sure that he had never seen such a strange beast, could it be that this was a species unique to the Extinction Realm?
The goal of this behemoth is very clear, it is the horses that Tong Yan and they have ridden. It was going to eat these horses, but if it ate them, Tong Yan was afraid that they would have to walk to the holy mountain on two legs.
But what if you fight this beast in a big fight, what if you lose? Wouldn't that cost your own life?
Just as Tong Yan was hesitating, he didn't expect the giant beast to fall on him.
After the giant beast took a closer look at him, something even more incredible happened.
This beast is ...... Unexpectedly said, "Boss, is that you?" ”
