Hanling City, Lingkuang Mountains
On this day, Qiye was still marching hard on the cliff plank road, carrying mineral stones back from the depths of the mountains. On the narrow plank road, when the newly arrived adult slave porters walked past Qiye carrying a heavy basket of mineral stones, they all cast a surprised look at him. In their eyes, Qiye was so immature yet so strong. He was carrying a small basket of mineral stones on his back, silently and laboriously walking slowly, just like a caravan of camels and mules on an ancient mountain road. However, Qiye ignored these surprised looks and continued to move forward with his head down regardless.
Suddenly, the entire mountain shook violently, and the abrupt boulders on the cliff cracked, bringing with them billowing smoke and dust, rolling down the steep cliff. Boom, boom, boom... The boulder hit the mountain plank road with majestic and unimpeded force. After breaking through the plank road in an instant, more than a dozen slave porters who had no time to escape fell into the mist-shrouded mountain stream below, including people and baskets. middle.
Ahhhhh... From the clouds and mist below, the last desperate screams of the porters could be heard, and then the sound gradually became quieter...
Qiye was shaken down by the sudden violent shock and suddenly sat down on the plank road, holding on to the guardrail of the plank road. Looking at the dozens of people disappearing in front of them in an instant, a wave of fear and fear came over them. Qiye's face turned pale and his pupils turned pale. The other people around him were either lying down or lying down in different sheltering postures, but they were all looking at the scene with confusion and fear.
Just after the collapse, there was another loud "boom", and a huge arm made of rock suddenly stretched out from the rock wall at the break of the trestle in front. The huge rock arm opened its palm, instantly grabbed a frightened slave porter, and dragged him into the cave without any hindrance. Accompanied by the chewing sound of bones breaking, a heartbreaking sound came from the cave. Scream. After a while, the screams gradually died down, and then a huge roar like breaking wind came from the cave.
"Roar!!!"
"This, this is a rock beast, everyone run away!!!" A middle-aged porter who was the first to realize from the shock and had some experience hurriedly shouted to the crowd around him.
"Run away!" The people around him also woke up from their confusion and staggered up. They didn't care about the ore stones scattered on the ground. They threw baskets and stones one after another, and headed down the mountain on the plank road with faces full of fear and horror. Escape.
Qiye sat on the ground blankly, looking at the scene happening in front of him with a dazed expression and extremely frightened eyes. I don't know who it was, but bumped into Qiye's limp body while escaping. A sudden collision woke Qiye out of his daze. Seeing the crowds of people running for their lives around him, Qiye instinctively stood up and wanted to get up and escape down the mountain together. But just when Qiye wanted to take action, he sadly found that his body was so weak, and his hands and feet were so scared that he couldn't even muster the strength to stand up.
"Damn it! Damn it!..." Qiye gritted his teeth, cried and scolded himself fiercely. He didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, he would be so useless! Although he was scolding, he still managed to get up. Just when he straightened his body and was about to take a step, he was unfortunately knocked down again. Qiye's thin body fell to the ground like a leaf blown by the wind. After realizing that he was no longer able to get up and continue escaping, Qiye had no choice but to huddle up on the edge of the plank road and try to avoid being trampled by the escapees. However, his body was still being kicked by the toes of the escapees again and again, and he had to endure the pain silently. Say something.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!" Among the fleeing crowd, a dozen soldiers holding weapons pushed upstream and pushed away the panicked crowd. They rushed to the break of the trestle bridge and guarded the dark and deep cave. They clenched the weapons in their hands. Stand ready.
"Roar..." Another deafening roar came from the depths of the cave. A moment later, a giant beast about 10 meters long flew out of the cave and slammed heavily on the plank road in front of the soldiers. .
Looking carefully, this beast is made of black rock and is extremely solid. The head is as sharp as a lizard, the snake mouth has fangs, and it has arms that can move freely like humans. Behind it swings a giant tail as thick and powerful as a python. It has red eyes, glares, and roars like fire.
"It seems to be a real rock beast. I didn't expect that such a first-order monster still lives in this barren mountain range. It's really interesting... Get ready to fight!" A middle-aged man who looked like the leader looked at him. After one glance, he smiled, and then gave orders to the soldiers around him with cold eyes. The general strength of a first-level monster is equivalent to that of a peak warrior at the spiritual level of a human being.
"Obey! Lord Wolfbei!" The soldiers did not dare to look directly into the man's eyes. They lowered their heads and obeyed the order, and they mustered up all their energy to prepare for the attack. The middle-aged man named "Wolfbei" stared at the giant beast in front of him like a hungry wolf, holding two scimitars with silver light on his chest. His lips were licked lightly, his eyes were blazing, and his spiritual power gathered around him, and he felt a strong will to fight.
When the huge rock beast saw the dozens of soldiers with swords and spears in front of it, its blood-red eyes were filled with violent animality. It instantly waved its thick arms and tore forward with majestic force.
"Martial skills, double sword falling on the moon!" Seeing the rock beast's attack coming quickly, Wolf Guard's eyes were sharp, and his powerful spiritual power burst out and wrapped tightly around his body. He slightly bent his body, suddenly stamped his feet and shot forward. He held a pair of extraordinary silver wolf scimitars in both hands and slashed hard at the arm that was coming towards him.
"Bang" a shocking sound of gold and iron, intimidating. The soldiers watching the battle were shaken back more than ten steps by the burst of sound. Wolfbei was shaken back a step and gave a hard kick to his feet before dispelling the impact on his body. On the other hand, the rock beast was knocked back a few steps by the ferocious impact. After it slowed down and saw that the opponent in front of it was completely unharmed, the rock beast became even more angry and roared ferociously. Obviously, in this initial confrontation, Wolfbei had a slight upper hand.
"As expected of a battle-axe-level martial spirit master!" A young soldier who had just woken up from the shocking confrontation in front of him couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course! Sir Langbei is one of the four great generals in Hanling City, and he is highly regarded by the Lord of the City." A veteran with some knowledge next to him explained to the young soldier with respect.
"It's really awesome!"
"Even the Lord of the City thinks so highly of him, he is indeed very powerful!"
…………
The soldiers around him were amazed.
At this time, Wolfbei was concentrating and staring at the roaring rock beast in front of him with cold eyes. A long-lost surge of blood surged in his chest. A dangerous sneer was slightly outlined at the corner of his mouth, and he licked his lips.
After the huge rock beast saw that its unstoppable attack was actually blocked by the enemy in front of him, its blood-colored eyes instantly burned with anger, and it roared to the sky. Then it raised its huge fists and smashed them with wind-like airflow, wanting to destroy it wantonly. The person in front of you.
When Wolfbei saw the huge fists of the rock beast above him hitting him with unstoppable force, his eyes turned cold and he quickly stepped back. Those majestic fists struck the plank road in front of him like lightning. .
"boom"! A section of the plank road was easily smashed into pieces, and the splintered wood was scattered into the deep valley and mountain stream. The rock beast saw that his attack failed this time, and after roaring with force, it quickly swung its thick giant tail. "Huh!" A dark and huge whip shadow swept towards Lang Bingwei, whose steps were not steady yet, with overwhelming force.
"Hmph!" Langbei snorted coldly, his expression unchanged. After squatting down slightly, he instantly jumped up and avoided the giant tail that was sweeping towards him. And the sweeping giant tail slammed hard on the rocks on one side of the mountain. With a loud "snap" sound, the entire mountain trembled slightly again, and the loose rocks on the mountain rolled down one after another, hitting the plank road on the mountainside.
Wolfbei, who was ejected into the air, lowered his head and looked down at the figure of the rock beast directly below. He sighed slightly, then held the Silver Moon Scimitar with both hands, and his mind moved:
"Martial skills, the moon cuts the universe!" A low voice shouted
Wolf Guard's body instantly shot vertically down, turning into a beam of silver light and hitting the top of the rock beast's head. Roar... I only heard a miserable tearing cry, and the surrounding soldiers saw a familiar figure appearing on the top of the rock beast. A pair of sharp scimitars with cold light had penetrated deeply into the rock beast's hard head. , flowing out green blood.
After the miserable cry, the life in the rock beast's eyes gradually passed away, and the blood-red pupils slowly lost their blood light and turned black in an instant. Then the huge body of the rock beast lost its life and fell into the abyss on one side, disappearing.
In the extremely shocked eyes of the surrounding soldiers. On the plank road, the cold figure settled gently. His eyes were piercing, and his whole body exuded cold and threatening spiritual power, making the soldiers around him tremble and choke.
"Go down with the order! Clean the battlefield and quickly repair the plank road!" Langbei glanced at the surrounding situation and shouted sternly, and a majestic order came out.
"Obey the order!" The surrounding soldiers immediately woke up from the shock and knelt on one knee to accept the order. And every soldier's face showed a look of fear and reverence.
Qiye lay on the ground for a long time, his face full of shock after witnessing the whole process. But in those dark and bright eyes, there was another color flashing besides shock. It was a longing, a longing for power that I had never had before in my life: If I could have the power to break through all the obstacles in front of me, I would be able to get rid of this territorial slave life! Thinking of this, Qiye suddenly felt an unprecedented excitement.
In this world, spiritual strength can be divided into six main levels from low to high: primary, war, spirit, saint, king, and emperor.
Each subject level contains three stages:
Beginner level is divided into 9 levels: Beginner level 1 to level 9.
The war level is divided into three levels: battle ax level, war spirit level, and war spirit level.
The spirit level is divided into three levels: mysterious spirit level, undead level, and holy spirit level.
The Holy Level is divided into three levels: Holy War Level, Holy General Level, and Holy King Level.
The King level is divided into 3 levels: Pluto level, Heavenly King level, and Emperor level;
As for the Emperor level, it already belongs to the legendary level. From ancient times to the present, no one has reached the peak for tens of millions of years. There were only seven king-level people in the ancient war period, and they were called by later generations: the seven kings of the ancient war!
Each level stage is divided into three levels according to the degree of strength: early stage, middle stage, and peak late stage. Each level is subdivided into nine levels: the first to third levels in the early stage, the fourth to sixth levels in the middle stage, and the seventh to ninth levels in the later stage.
As the strength increases, every small step of improvement is like leaping over a chasm and as difficult as climbing to the sky. Therefore, the Saint level has become the strongest existence among human cultivators today. On this continent where the human race exists, there are twelve vast empires, and each empire has a ruler who has reached the Saint level. Furthermore, although there is some friction on the borders between major countries, the overall strength is constantly being restrained to achieve a certain balance.
Hanling City, where Qiye is located, is located in a remote corner of the northernmost territory of the "Beiya Empire". The city status is a "fifth-class common city" with a population of about 200,000, but the number of slaves has reached 50,000.
The Lord of Hanling City, Han Qi is a spiritual cultivator whose strength has reached the "war spirit level" and specializes in ice spiritual power. In order to improve his own strength, he used 50,000 slaves to mine the endless spiritual ore mountains outside Hanling City. These mountains contained Hanling ore, but they were slightly barren and had too little spiritual power. Only one spirit stone can be extracted from one ton of mined spirit stones, while 50,000 slaves continuously mine and supply spirit stones to Hanling City.
