Chapter 180 179. The person peeping in the dark

The area north of Changbai Mountain is deserted and uninhabited.

In the past, this place was sparsely populated with only a few small towns and villages. Now that there are vast and boundless ancient lands on the surface, the original human atmosphere is even more inaccessible.

The long distance separates people and makes them unable to see each other.

Fortunately, most people living in this area do not rely on modern technology. They have their own way of life. Whether it was hunting, farming, or serving as a local folk guide. Even though the electricity and internet were cut off, there was no shortage of pure water. Those rivers come from the melted ice and snow in the mountains and do not require medicine. The streams and rivers flowing down are the best treasures the world has brought to the people here.

After drinking it, you will be more energetic and vigorous, and even your body will become stronger.

This is a village dotted on the edge of the Changbai Mountain forest area. The village is close to a river that meanders on the main dragon vein of Changbai Mountain. The young people in the village feel it most obviously. Their strength is now much stronger than before, and they have become tall and powerful.

In the past few years, it seems that it has experienced a transformation from modern to primitive society.

The coming-of-age ceremony for young people is to go deep into the forest area south of the village, kill a beast and drag its body back. Possessing this skill is a necessity for future survival, and it is also an important basis for the village to stand beside this river. It is not uncommon for powerful beasts to live near this river or even in the river. The way for the villagers to obtain the river water is not easy, and can even be said to be dangerous.

Although they have not seen it for sure, they know that there must be quite terrifying creatures deep in the mountains.

On certain nights, you can sometimes see the bright lights and the shaking ground in the deep mountains and forests, and the roar of some kind of beast resounding through the sky. This kind of situation is rare, but they exist and indicate their existence to the people here. Therefore, the coming of age ceremony of young people goes deep into the forest area. The forest area has boundaries. What is needed is not those alien and terrifying creatures, but ferocious beasts. For the young people who have been given the "Holy River" to grow up, they have their own transformation. Wild beasts that were very dangerous to humans in the past do not pose much of a threat to them.

But today is an exception.

In the cellar of the village, when the twelfth lunar month entered in the past era, chickens, ducks, fish and other new year products were cleaned and placed in the cellar. Now the dark cellar was crowded with people.

Most of them are women and children.

Sand and gravel occasionally fall on the ground, causing the ground to slosh. Amid the swaying and violent roaring, one can hear mothers comforting children, babies crying, and old people sighing. These sounds are intertwined, turning into an invisible mirror that reflects the emotions on every face in the cramped space. Worry, anxiety, fear, confusion.

On the ground, on the high wall built by the village, the old hunter frowned.

As the huge shadow moved, the high wall was smashed. The old hunter turned over and landed with unimaginable movements and strength. He was close to the height of a three-story building. He fell like this without any damage. There was a deformed gun behind him. The bone blade, his right hand has been placed on the handle of the bone blade.

He didn't know what happened. Those terrible guys deep in the mountains appeared on this land during the day.

The first time I saw it from such a distance.

The huge shadow smashed into the high wall and then kicked to the ground. The swing of its body collapsed the house.

Hugeness is the first impression, and the strong muscles and fur covering the creature give people a ferocious look. The whole body is covered in bright gold with dark markings that look like grimaces. The old hunter has seen many ferocious beasts. The "monster" in front of him is similar to a leopard, but with a single horn standing straight on its head, reflecting the cold light, making the temperature in this winter a little colder.

It has four legs and a low body.

But even so, this thing is still two stories high.

There are still figures of people moving in some protective buildings in the village. They are people who came to join the defense line. There are old and sophisticated people like the old hunter, and there are also young people who have bathed in the holy river. The old hunter stared at the one-horned ghost leopard. This was the first time the village encountered such a terrifying existence, a "monster" from deep in the mountains. The old hunter thought the description of "demon" was very accurate, even though he didn't believe it in the past.

The ghost-striped leopard stared at the old hunter with the bone blade on his back. Its head was shaking, and its powerful hearing and perception capabilities brought it the hidden information of this village.

A small sword on its body glowed.

The ghost-striped leopard's eyes flashed fiercely, and it looked around, with ghostly patterns on its body flowing.

"Roar——!" A roar shook the area for miles around. This giant leopard raised its head high and roared to the sky, its roar almost piercing the eardrums of those who competed at a distance.

The old hunter pulled out the bone blade from his back. It was like the teeth or claws of some huge creature, naturally forming some mysterious patterns. When he pulled out the bone blade, the mysterious lines rippled out, and he was the closest to the big demon. If he didn't draw the sword, it would be difficult for him to resist with his body alone.

The roar was broadcast and spread.

Suddenly, the old hunter felt something was wrong.

The roars of the ferocious beasts he encountered during the decades of hunting were not only used to demonstrate and warn opponents, but also had a function...to call out his companions!

The dark coat was open, and the old body was killing the ghost-striped leopard at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye.

After several years of tacit understanding, the people guarding other places moved at the same time.

But the ghost-striped leopard standing with its limbs stretched out was unmoved. It raised its head and looked to the south, at the forest area and mountains, as if waiting for something.

"Boom——!"

The roar was like thunder rolling across the mountains.

It suddenly became dark.

The posture of everyone attacking the ghost-striped leopard was frozen in the air.

In all directions, there is an ancient battlefield of blood and swords standing faintly, with the shape of towering mountains, seemingly endless, broken swords, knives, guns, and flags. Even the old hunter saw unspeakably horrific corpses, which were as big as a head and could be compared to a raised hillside. Thick clouds pushed towards the village from the direction of the mountains, and the green lightning flashed out, instantly creating a doomsday-like scene.

The land becomes even colder in the cold winter.

Maybe it's the coldness.

At this moment, it was as if someone had opened the gate of hell and released thousands of evil ghosts to come to the world to seek their lives. The human figures shrouded in shadows wandered along the clouds, passing through the forest and past the broken houses.

The ghost-striped leopard bowed its head, filled with awe when facing the disdainful eyes of humans.

Those who have not yet embarked on the road to rise have no idea what the things that create this scene mean.

But it knows.

Imperial realm.

The person who came was a Demon King of the Extreme Palace Realm.

Thousands of ghosts were swimming in the sky, and they seemed to be looking for something.

The moment the ghost passed by, the still space seemed to return to normal. The people who were forcibly stopped and froze in the air suddenly fell to the ground and could no longer raise their heads.

The old hunter did not hold on for long, but at the end of the bone blade shattering, his eyes saw the green lightning falling from the sky.
