Chapter 488: Wilderness
The Great Wilderness.
This is an area occupied by the Tianhe creatures, about 300 million miles away from Hongfeng City.
There are many areas occupied by Tianhe creatures like the Great Wilderness on the Qianzhan Continent, but the Great Wilderness is the most famous place.
Because the Tianhe creatures here are the closest to the human race.
But they are only close, and the racial characteristics of both sides can still be seen at a glance.
For example, although the Tianhe creatures here are all humanoid, most of them are born in strange shapes.
Some have two heads, some have four legs, some have scales all over their bodies and gills on their faces, and some have hedgehog-like spikes all over their bodies...
Although these creatures are all humanoid creatures, their genes are fundamentally different from those of humans.
And although they seem to live in groups, in fact, even creatures of the same group live separately.
For example, in the area occupied by the two-headed group, once the four-legged group is found, they will definitely be expelled without hesitation.
This has caused conflicts of all sizes to often break out among the Tianhe creatures.
Sometimes even war.
Only a truly top-level existence can gather this group of cold-blooded, bloodthirsty creatures together and restrain them, so that there will not be a big riot in this place.
The ruler of the Great Wilderness is a terrible creature covered with spikes.
It has been in the front station for thousands of years.
Before it, there was another ruler in the Great Wilderness, and it chose to follow that ruler at that time.
That ruler was also very powerful, suppressing this place and controlling all the Tianhe creatures here.
And led them to frequently attack the "wall".
The wall is the barrier around the front station!
It is also called the edge of the world by the creatures in the front station.
A few years ago, the original ruler of the Great Wilderness was ambushed by a group of human guardians in a war. After a shocking war, the strongest of the human guardians was seriously injured and dying, and the original ruler could not survive and died on the spot.
As the second strongest person in the Great Wilderness, it naturally became the ruler here.
It gave itself a name, "Ci Ba".
According to human civilization, the word "Ci" means sharp and sharp, symbolizing unstoppable, just like the thorns on its body, very powerful!
The word "Ba" means powerful!
Ci Ba is a Tianhe creature who likes to learn.
When it woke up from the chaos, an instinct drove it along the Tianhe River, and it went through hardships all the way to climb ashore.
It was lucky that it did not meet the guardian of the Tianhe River. It relied on some instinct all the way to the front station world.
When it first came here, it had killed many people and was also targeted by many terrible creatures. It was a life-and-death struggle all the way to the Great Wilderness.
An instinct deep in its heart has always driven it and all the Tianhe creatures to break the wall and go to a farther place.
As for what is further away and what to do, it and other Tianhe creatures are not very clear.
They only know that if they meet different races, they should kill!
It seems that this is their mission since birth.
But Ciba is different from most other Tianhe creatures, and also different from its former master.
It likes to learn.
Although it is very difficult to learn.
It takes a very high talent to understand the civilizations of different races.
Tianhe creatures basically have no talent except killing.
So if it wants to learn the civilization of humans and other front-line races, it needs to suppress the tyranny and killing thoughts deep in its heart at all times.
Be patient and learn little by little.
For thousands of years, it has achieved fruitful results!
With its efforts, Tianhe creatures have even successfully entered the black market!
At the same time, with its efforts, it has cultivated a group of Tianhe creatures that can barely communicate with other races.
Although this group of creatures is not as smart as it, after years and months, they can barely complete the tasks it has assigned.
This method of Ci Ba was a huge shock to all the creatures in Tianhe.
For the first time in their lives, this group of creatures who only knew how to kill felt the benefits of trading.
They had never thought that they could get what they wanted from other races without fighting and killing.
It was just that the instinct engraved deep in their souls still drove them to kill, break walls, go further... to kill.
Since Ci Ba became the master, even though the killing in his heart still strongly affected him, he still made more changes.
For example, he actually learned to seduce creatures of other races through benefits and use them for his own benefit!
This was definitely an unprecedented change for all the creatures in Tianhe.
It is no exaggeration to call it a breakthrough in history.
Who would dare to believe that the creatures in Tianhe... actually learned this method?
But this method is really useful!
Just a few days ago, a broker who was very active in the black market bought by Ci Ba brought it a piece of important news.
The human beings who killed its former master actually found a way to treat him!
And they are still looking for materials everywhere!
They found it on their heads!
Ci Ba’s learning of human civilization is limited, and he doesn’t know the word "falling into a trap", but the moment he got the news, he still felt extremely happy.
He asked his men to reward the broker heavily, and then sent several men to kill the human who traded with the broker.
Unfortunately, the human finally ran away.
But it doesn’t matter, he has ordered his men to keep a close watch on the two materials, and never allow any negligence!
Over the years, the one thing Ci Ba has always wanted to do most is to avenge his former master!
It is indeed a different Tianhe creature.
Because the other Tianhe creatures it came into contact with would never have such thoughts.
When a companion of the same race was killed by others, it was naturally angry on the spot, but it was more supported by its bloodthirsty nature.
If a period of time passed, it would basically forget the hatred.
Even if it saw the "enemy" next time, it would still attack frantically, but that was just driven by instinct.
Rather than hatred.
Only Ciba would always remember the hatred.
If it weren't for the fact that Hongfeng City was too scary and there were super strong people, it would have killed the seriously injured and dying general long ago.
Even so, it still led troops to attack several times in the past few years.
Unfortunately, it failed every time and suffered heavy losses.
In the end, it found it difficult to break through the city, so it reluctantly gave up temporarily.
But deep in its heart, it still thought that one day, when it became stronger, it would take revenge!
"Let the two-headed and four-legged tribes guard those two places. Remember, if any creature approaches, kill them without mercy!" Ci Ba was a little worried and ordered his men again.
As a Tianhe creature who knows human habits very well, Ci Ba knows very well that the other party will not give up so easily.
Maybe there will be a human army in the near future to attack the Great Wilderness.
But just like he couldn't break through Hongfeng City, it's also a dream for humans to break through the Great Wilderness!
The Great Wilderness is located halfway up a huge sacred mountain. There are cliffs with natural magic arrays on all sides. Unless you climb up the cliffs little by little, there is no other way to get up!
This natural magic array is very magical. It is formed around the cliffs of the Great Wilderness. No creature, including the Tianhe creatures, can use spiritual power to fly up!
No one knows how this magic array was formed. Anyway, after its former ruler discovered the magic here, he chose this Great Wilderness on the top of the cliff as his base.
With the advantage of the natural magic array, anyone who wants to break through here can only be a fantasy.
At this moment, Bai Muye and Ji Caiyi are riding in a flying vehicle and have arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain where the Great Wilderness is located.
Looking up, the sacred mountain in front of them is like a world wall!
It rises straight into the depths of the universe, and the situation above is completely invisible.
"The Great Wilderness is right here, an area covering an area of about one million square kilometers," Ji Caiyi looked at the information that Jin Zheng had prepared for them before, and then sighed, "I really can't imagine how the world in the front station was formed. A mountain... and the Sun, Moon and Star City revolves around it. It's really too big!"
Bai Muye nodded: "So if it is a top-level strongman, standing on the top of this mountain, you can almost see Hongfeng City at a glance, right?"
"Yes, in a sense, although it is tens of thousands of miles away, Hongfeng City can be regarded as at the foot of this mountain..." Caiyi sighed.
And there are many sacred mountains like this in the front station.
"So it's hard to imagine what kind of existence was there back then, setting up a barrier to seal the entire front station world, and leaving a door for us to enter and exit." Bai Muye sighed.
There was a fascination in his eyes.
He thought of the Talisman Master's Book after he was transformed, and he didn't know how much higher inheritance and knowledge he could get from it after reaching the emperor level?
He didn't know what kind of Tao the so-called "Talisman Dao" was.
However, as long as he thought of the feeling of condensing the power of heaven and earth for his own use when he briefly controlled the emperor-level energy, he felt a surge of emotion!
Those abilities were actually just the top-level Talisman techniques on the Talisman Master's Book before the transformation!
So, what about after the transformation?
What will it be like?
"Let's go, we have to be careful when we go up the mountain. After all, we are close to their habitat, and we are likely to encounter Tianhe creatures." Bai Muye reminded.
Ji Caiyi nodded: "Don't worry!"
During these days of continuous travel, she did not delay her cultivation. Although it was not as fast as practicing in seclusion, she had many spirit beads on her body, so in general, her speed was not slow.
Since she entered the god level, her transformation of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art has been longer than before.
Although it is still very short, at least it can last longer than before.
The two of them took a small aircraft and flew very fast, but it took more than an hour to finally fly to the halfway point of this sacred mountain.
Coming out of the aircraft, the two looked down, and their sight was completely blocked by the endless and distant clouds below.
This kind of place is actually deep in space.
The air here has become extremely thin, almost non-existent.
Ordinary people can't survive here at all.
But the spiritual energy is very sufficient, so for practitioners, staying in such a place is not uncomfortable.
According to the information Jin Zheng gave them, there are natural magic arrays on the cliffs around the Great Wilderness, and there is no way to use energy to fly there.
Bai Muye wanted to try the flying talisman.
The two of them didn't talk along the way, and soon came to the bottom of the cliff. After some discussion, they didn't choose to climb from here, but took some time to go around to the side.
Looking at the towering cliff above their heads, the two looked at each other.
They all knew what they would face once they went up.
But there was no sign of retreat in their eyes.
Not to mention anything else, they had already received unimaginable benefits from the group of people in Fortress No. 36!
The spirit beads that could make a group of people become emperors were taken out without hesitation. In fact, it was not so simple and easy for an emperor-level strongman to make spirit beads, and it also consumed a lot.
Although the loss could be slowly cultivated back, it would take time, right?
If they couldn't do something for them, they would feel guilty.
Bai Muye first tried to fly, and found that he was indeed suppressed by a magical force, and the energy in his body could not be mobilized at all.
Even his mental power felt like it was sealed.
He was very familiar with this feeling.
After all, after being sealed for so many years, it feels very familiar to experience it again.
Damn familiar!
In this case, there is no need to try the flying talisman. Even the mental power cannot be used. Even if the flying talisman can be activated outside, once it is attacked in mid-air or the flying talisman expires, won’t it be thrown to death?
God knows how high this cliff is.
As for the aircraft, it is also impossible. The natural magic array around the cliff seems to isolate all energy fluctuations.
Even if the aircraft can be invisible and silent, it cannot fly within the range of the magic array.
Mechanical power is not available, and the two can only use the most primitive way-climbing.
Commonly known as rock climbing.
Before climbing, Bai Muye said: "Change the color of your clothes, so that a Tianhe creature will not suddenly appear."
Both of them are wearing top-level battle clothes made by the Zulong Empire, and the color of the clothes can be changed according to the environment.
Caiyi glanced at him: "If a creature from Tianhe suddenly appears, even if you change the color of your clothes, it won't be of much use, right?"
Bai Muye smiled: "It's better to be prepared."
"Okay, then listen to you!" Caiyi changed the color of his battle suit and the device on his head, like a chameleon, lying on the rock and almost invisible.
"Let's go, I'll take you." Caiyi glanced at Bai Muye, "You just need to grab the rope."
"Are you kidding? I need you to lead?" Bai Muye glanced at Caiyi, "In a place like this, your spiritual power is also sealed, everyone climbs based on their physical fitness!"
Caiyi looked at him: "Based on physical fitness? Are you sure? I have a god-level physique! What about you?"
Xiaobai: "..."
Do you look down on the fourth-level spiritual warrior?
He walked to the bottom of the cliff without saying a word and began to climb up quickly. In the blink of an eye, he climbed more than 100 meters!
The whole person was as flexible as a gecko walking on the wall.
Ji Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips, came to the bottom of the cliff, and lightly jumped up, using her hands and feet, and in an instant she surpassed Bai Muye and was far ahead of him.
"How is it? Do you want me to take you?" Caiyi looked proud.
On weekdays, everyone is dominated by the fear of the big devil, and the more people around him, the more obvious this feeling is.
This guy is really too good!
If you don't have a big heart, you really can't stay by his side.
Now, in addition to drinking and singing, there is finally another thing that can surpass him.
So happy!
Bai Muye glanced at Caiyi calmly and said lightly: "This cliff is high, you should take it easy, you can't use spiritual power, even if you have a god-level physique, you can't keep this speed..."
"Then you climb slowly, I'll wait for you up there."
Bai Muye looked at Caiyi who rushed up again after saying a word, and his head was full of black lines.
Too much!
This is cheating!
Can you climb so fast without using spiritual power?
Is the god-level physique really that awesome?
Ji Caiyi climbed up quickly while muttering in her heart: Humph, a mere little magician is actually competing with a big warrior in physical strength!
In fact, she wanted to go up first, and she also had an idea to survey the situation above for Xiaobai and ensure his safety!
It seems that she is the main force in this operation, but she knows very well in her heart that the real person who decides the outcome is still Xiaobai.
Only by cooperating with each other can the two complete this task.
Fortunately, there is no tacit understanding problem between them.
Seeing Caiyi's figure disappearing quickly from the field of vision, Bai Muye sighed helplessly and continued to climb up slowly.
He also understood why Caiyi climbed so fast, and did not stop her.
As an assassin, Caiyi knew how to hide herself better than him. If the two of them couldn't even get past the cliff, then they shouldn't dream of stealing any talisman materials from others. They should just go back and find another way.
Caiyi was very fast, but this cliff was really high!
If she could use her spiritual power to fly, this height would not be a big deal for a grandmaster.
But simply climbing, even at Caiyi's speed, would take at least half an hour.
The physique of a god-level person is indeed different. Even if she couldn't use her spiritual power, her terrifying endurance could still allow Caiyi to climb up without any effort.
Twenty minutes later, Caiyi almost saw the scene at the top of the cliff!
It was bare, with some huge rocks sticking out from there. If she wanted to climb up, there had to be a section hanging in the air.
She glanced at it, and everything she saw was this kind of scene.
For her, this was not too difficult, it just took a little effort.
It's just a little strange, how did the magic array around this cliff form?
Jin Zheng said that the magic array is natural, and there are many such places in the front station.
Some are occupied by the races in the front station, and some are in the hands of the creatures of Tianhe.
All such places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to break.
Xiaobai is very good at magic arrays. I will ask him if he can break the natural magic array here. Once it is broken, it will be easy to break this place!
Caiyi was thinking in her heart, when suddenly, a huge cage flew down from the top of the cliff very abruptly.
She was startled by the sudden big cage. Her body, which was clinging to the cliff, flashed in an instant and flashed into the gap between two rocks. With the clothes that changed color, it was almost impossible to be seen.
The moment Caiyi hid, she saw a thick rope connected to the huge cage falling down along the place hundreds of meters away from her!
Indistinctly, Caiyi saw a figure shaking in the cage.
It's broken!
Caiyi thought it was not good. This should be a way for the Tianhe creatures to go up and down. She hid, but what about Xiaobai?
Looking at the thick rope that was a few hundred meters away from her, Caiyi wondered in her heart whether she should cut the rope with a knife.
But if she did that, the other party would definitely find out that something was wrong!
No, she couldn't cut the rope.
She couldn't help but regret that she climbed too fast!
At the same time, she was also a little depressed. She chose the wrong place. She chose a side to climb, but there were still Tianhe creatures on it...
The key is that there is no way to observe the situation above from below, and she dare not rashly use an aircraft to observe from a distance.
After all, the Tianhe creatures are not idiots. When you see them, they can also see you!
She hid between two rocks, waiting patiently, and prayed in her heart that Xiaobai must not be discovered.
At the same time, she had to admire Xiaobai's meticulous heart!
Even she, an assassin, didn't think of changing the color of her clothes before climbing.
Some things are experience, but some... are really talents!
The moment the cage was thrown down, Bai Muye below also saw it for the first time.
Coincidentally, there was no place to cover his body... He could only hang his heart and stick his body tightly to the cliff. Fortunately, he had activated the device on his clothes in advance to make the color the same as the rock.
Otherwise, in the range of this magic circle, no energy can be used. Even if he wanted to change, it would be too late!
The huge cage was only fifty or sixty meters away from Xiaobai at most, and it went down in a whoosh.
Damn, is this the rhythm of being thrown down and killed?
Bai Muye muttered in his heart.
Soon, the thick rope was tightened, and it seemed that the cage was close to the bottom.
Now another problem was placed in front of him and Caiyi, and this problem was very serious.
There are people up there.
