Chapter 1426

Fearsome Beast Sea

"I wonder if you guys can make an exception?" Zhuowen said with a smile.

The muscular men on the shore immediately began to discuss among themselves, as if they were hesitating about something.

"Boss, I can't sense any aura from them. I'm afraid they are very weak. It shouldn't be a problem to let them in." One of the men said softly.

The leader frowned and said, "You guys should know how dangerous the Fearsome Beast Sea is. It's quite unbelievable that these two are able to reach the shore safely. I'm afraid they aren't simple."

The other man, on the other hand, said casually, "Boss, what are you afraid of? We have the Mountain God. How can two mere people threaten our Eighteenth Mountain?"

The leader's eyes flickered as he said, "You're right. With the Mountain God's presence, the demons will not be able to invade our Eighteenth Mountain. Let them in."

With that said, the burly man came before Zhuo Wen and Long Xiaotian. He stretched out his hands and said, "Hold my hands. I'll pull you in."

Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian exchanged glances with one another. They were not suspicious and placed their hands in the man's hands. Following which, they felt a tremendous force coming from their hands. Following which, a strange force spread from the man's body to their bodies.

Whoosh!

The man pulled forcefully, and Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian were pulled into the mountain as if they had teleported.

"What kind of force is this?"

Zhuo Wen and Long Xiaotian looked at each other and revealed a stunned expression. The burly man leading the group did not seem to have any Yuan Power ripples on his body. However, the mysterious energy that spread out from his body was not to be underestimated.

It was this strange force that had pulled open the barrier on the surface of the mountain, allowing Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian to enter.

Perhaps it was because he sensed the astonishment in Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian's eyes, the burly man revealed a proud expression, his heart fluttering. Clearly, he had mistaken the expressions of Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian for the astonishment of his strength.

"Boss Les is the only one with a King Body in our village. Among the hundreds of villages at the foot of the mountain, he's one of the best."

The few lackeys behind the burly man were very clever, and they flattered the burly man. Although the burly man said no, his body and expression were very honest, and he appeared to be very proud.

Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian stared at each other. Obviously, they didn't know what the so-called Monarch Body was.

"Father, I'm afraid that the cultivation system of the Upper Bound is very different from that of the Pang Big World and the outside world. Although these people don't have any fluctuation of Primary Power, their physique and Qi and blood are much more vigorous and powerful than ordinary martial artists."

Zhuowen secretly transmitted his voice to Long Xiaotian, and the latter nodded slightly.

From the beginning, he had already noticed that these people didn't have any fluctuation of Primary Power. At first, he thought that these people were just ordinary people. Later, when he came into contact with the burly man, this idea was immediately rejected.

In addition to the Monarch Body that these people had mentioned before, the two of them immediately thought that the cultivation method of the Upper Bound was very different from that of the outside world.

Of course, there was also the Mountain God that these people had mentioned before. What kind of existence was that?

"We have a total of five people here. It shouldn't be too much for you to give us five stones just now, right?" The burly man in the lead was quite forthright. He rubbed his hands and smiled at Zhuowen.

"It's not too much!"

Zhuowen smiled slightly, took out five Spirit Stones, and handed them to the burly man named Les. The latter accepted them happily, and then divided the Spirit Stones with the others.

"My name is Les, and these four are my underlings. They are called Da Gou, Er Gou, San Gou, and Si Gou. These stones of yours are quite good. They can actually strengthen one's physique. For us body cultivators, it's a great supplement."

After distributing the Spirit Stones, Les pointed at the four people behind him and introduced them with a smile.

"Da Gou, Er Gou, San Gou, and Si Gou?"

After hearing Les's introduction, Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian were speechless. This naming was too casual.

However, when they saw that Les's four underlings didn't seem to care, the two of them facepalmed, and their eyes were full of helplessness.

"I have another Spirit Stone here. Help me explain the situation of this mountain, and this Spirit Stone is yours." Zhuowen took out another Spirit Stone and tossed it to Les with a smile.

After catching the Spirit Stone, Les hurriedly stuffed it into his clothes and said, "No problem. Follow me!"

With that, Les led Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian into the depths of the mountain.

The area at the foot of this huge mountain was extremely large, equivalent to a small continent. At the end of the mountain was a continuous mountain path that extended to the top of the mountain.

At a glance, there were villages at the foot of the mountain. These villages weren't very far from each other, and they were like tribes, scattered messily at the foot of the mountain.

The villages were filled with laughter. There were men, women, children, and the elderly. The houses were all made of straw, and they looked rather simple and crude.

Moreover, Zhuowen discovered that these villages at the foot of the mountain had one thing in common. At the entrance of each village, there was a bronze statue that was dozens of feet tall.

This bronze statue was in the image of a slender middle-aged man. His hair was tied up into a crown, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. He was dressed like a scholar.

However, the facial features of the statue were unclear. Or rather, the facial features were covered by some kind of energy, making it impossible for people to see the true appearance of the facial features.

"That's our mountain god. It's because of the mountain god that we can live such a peaceful life, and we won't be invaded by the vicious sea monsters. Everyone lives in peace and is happy as they wish."

Les pointed at the bronze statue in front of the village and introduced it to Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian with a look of admiration.

"Mountain god?"

Zhuowen stared at the statue and frowned. He asked, "There are so many villages at the foot of the mountain. Does every village have a statue like this?"

Les nodded. "That's right!

As long as the statue of the Mountain God is erected, our village will be able to live and work in peace and prosperity. This is the blessing of the Mountain God. It is something that must be built. Otherwise, disaster will befall the village. "

"It's that bad?" Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian exchanged glances and communicated telepathically.

Les brought Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian back to his village. Along the way, the villagers greeted Les with great enthusiasm.

Although Zhuo Wen and Long Xiaotian were unfamiliar faces, causing many people to reveal doubtful expressions, most of them revealed amiable expressions and did not show any hostility.

Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian found it rather difficult to deal with such simple villagers.

It had been a very long time since they had experienced such simplicity in the world of martial arts. The only feeling they had was mutual deception and scheming against each other.

If you didn't act ruthlessly, you might very well end up dead.

However, Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian found it rather difficult to adapt to such a simple atmosphere here.

Zhuowen chatted quite a bit with Les along the way and managed to glean a lot of information from him.

It turned out that this region of the sea was called the Fearsome Demon Sea. There were countless evil and ferocious beasts in it. If one accidentally fell in, one would have to face the endless attacks of the evil beasts.

If one didn't have the ability to escape, they would definitely die if they fell into the Fearsome Demon Sea.

In the Fearsome Demon Sea, there were nineteen mountains. Among them, the first eighteen mountains were full of vitality and contained countless living creatures. Moreover, each mountain had a Mountain God sitting on it.

The eighteen mountains had simple names. They were the First Mountain, all the way to the Eighteenth Mountain. The mountain gods were named according to the name of the mountain.

For example, the mountain god of the First Mountain was called the First Mountain God, while the one of the Eighteenth Mountain was called the Eighteenth Mountain God.

Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian were on the Eighteenth Mountain. The Eighteenth Mountain God was the pillar of all the living beings on the mountain and was also the faith of all living beings.

However, when Zhuowen asked about the Nineteenth Mountain, Les's expression changed drastically. He didn't say anything to explain, as if there was some taboo.

"Zhuowen, the Nineteenth Mountain seems to be some kind of taboo. Could it be the forbidden area you mentioned?" Long Xiaotian transmitted his voice to Zhuowen.

"It's very likely. Among the nineteen mountains, only the Nineteenth Mountain doesn't have any living beings. Apart from the forbidden area mentioned by Cang Long Taoist, there's nothing else." Zhuowen smiled faintly.

"It's just that we don't know how to get to the Nineteenth Mountain at the moment. It's said that the sea near the Nineteenth Mountain is much more terrifying than here. Furthermore, we don't know much about the Nineteenth Mountain …" Long Xiaotian said hesitantly.

"That's why we have to find the Eighteenth Mountain God. Since the mission said that there are Sacred Runes and other rare treasures in the forbidden area, I don't think the Eighteenth Mountain God will let go of these things. If we want to obtain these things, we have to send someone into the Nineteenth Mountain," Zhuowen said confidently.

"Yes!

That's the only way. "Long Xiaotian nodded.

Les brought Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian around the surrounding villages. Then, he stopped and said, "I've shown you the villages at the foot of the mountain. I think it's about time."

Zhuowen smiled and took out two Spirit Stones from his Spirit Ring. He said, "Brother Les, I also want to ask, how can we meet the Mountain God?

I heard you say that the Mountain God lives at the top of the mountain. Does that mean that we can meet the Mountain God if we climb to the top of the mountain? "

Les's expression changed slightly, but he shook his head and said, "The Mountain God is everywhere, but it's also illusory. If you want to find the Mountain God, I advise you to give up because no one on the Eighteenth Mountain has ever seen the Mountain God."

"No one on the top of the mountain has ever seen the Mountain God?" Zhuowen asked with a frown.

"I don't know about that. The people on the top of the mountain are all important people. You need to have at least an Emperor Body to be qualified to climb there. I'm just a King Body, so I can't answer your question." Les shook his head.

"Above an Emperor Body?"

Zhuowen and Long Xiaotian looked at each other and pondered.
