Chapter 251 My Name is Taotie
Alan's heart trembled!
Fengyue is casting the 2nd level spell "Realm of Honesty".
This is a divine art with a genuine origin!
Alan had only seen it in the meditation world.
That was in ancient times, when the gods still lived on earth.
A spell used by paladins and priests to detect lies.
Feng Yue, who looked like a ghost, actually performed magic in a casual manner...
"Okay! Now let's start the question-and-answer test!"
Fengyue enveloped him in the "realm of honesty".
"First question, tell me, do you like the Warlock World?"
"like."
"lie!"
"Second question, do you think it is reasonable for the Warlock Family to ban the worship of gods, crack down on religious associations, and prevent people from spreading their beliefs?"
"Reasonable."
"lie!"
"The third question is, the sorcerers oppress the common people, rape and plunder, and commit all kinds of evil. Do you feel indignant when you see this?"
"No."
"lie!"
…
Fengyue couldn't hold it in anymore after asking only three questions.
"You bastard! Why won't you tell the truth?"
"You know I can tell you're lying, but you still talk nonsense without blushing or beating your heart. What's your mentality?!"
Allen shrugged and said calmly: "I don't know you well, there is no reason to tell you the truth right away."
Fengyue covered her chest with her hands, as if she was about to have a heart attack from anger.
After she calmed down, she regained her composure.
"All the chosen Holy Spirits are deeply dissatisfied with the current state of the Warlock world and are determined to change this unjust world even at the cost of their own lives!"
"Before the Holy Spirit descended, they all voluntarily bore a spiritual imprint. No matter what identity they disguised themselves as, deep down in their hearts, they were filled with hatred for the major warlock families that ruled this world!"
"This is an important basis for identifying the Holy Spirit from outer space!"
"You kid, as the founder of a newly rising warlock family and a vested interest, deep down in your heart you despise the world you help rule, and you wish you could overthrow this corrupt and decadent world with your own hands. And you still say you are not a Holy Spirit?!"
Alan twitched the corner of his mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
This misunderstanding about Fengyue is too big.
He hated certain customs and rules of the warlock world, not because they left him with some "spiritual mark", but because they were inconsistent with his values in his previous life.
He is not a holy spirit from outer space who is shouldering a great mission and is determined to overthrow the rule of the warlock family.
However, he could not explain to Fengyue his identity as a time traveler.
Rather than making things worse, it is better to just let it go.
After all, Feng Yue was unfathomable, and the "Holy Spirit Society" behind her was not someone he was qualified to offend.
"Feng Yue, I'm sorry, I really can't remember anything about the past."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to cooperate with me, and everything else will be easy."
Fengyue saw his attitude change and her tone became gentler.
"What good can it do for me to work with you?"
Alan raised a question that was of great concern.
If we say that the mission of Fengyue and the organization behind him is to launch a revolution in the world of sorcerers and overthrow the corrupt rule of the sorcerer aristocracy.
Well, Alan doesn't mind being their guide.
Anyway, he didn't have much identification with the ruling class of the warlock world. Instead, the common people were more worthy of sympathy.
However, the premise is that it is profitable!
Give enough benefits, he is a kind man like Panthes...
You can also accept progressive ideas, betray the decadent class you come from, and you can also be the Holy Spirit!
Fengyue was silent for a long time.
It seems that he finally realized the vulgar nature of Allen.
Talking to him about lofty ideals and the spirit of dedication is like talking to a cow.
Fengyue is also a person who knows how to adapt. He understands the principle of speaking differently to different people and different things to different people.
"Well... before you serve me, I will give you some valuable information."
"You are a beastman sorcerer, and you have also merged the blood of an ogre wizard. You can follow the evolutionary path of both beasts and giants."
"The advancement directions you know about now, such as the Gaiding Celestial Clan and the Rakshasa Evil Ghost, are actually not top-level."
"If I were you, I would choose between Behemoth and Titan as the path to advancement!"
"Behemoth and Titan...?"
Alan immediately perked up!
"Didn't these two legendary creatures become extinct long ago?"
"There are no living Behemoths or Titans in reality, so how can we obtain the blood essence?"
"No, they exist, and they are in the trial space."
There is a hint of mystery in Fengyue's voice.
"However, according to the normal trial process, you have no chance of coming into contact with Behemoth or Titan."
"But, follow the clues I provided and enter the hidden secret realm, and you will find the door to a new world..."
Alan listened to her silently, with turbulent waves in his heart.
"If you are really capable of completing the advanced tasks and successfully integrating the Behemoth or Titan bloodline, I can give you some benefits." Feng Yue continued.
"What benefits?"
"I'll take you to a holy place for cultivation." Feng Yue smiled slightly, "The efficiency of cultivation there is much higher than that in Origin City!"
"One day of training there is equivalent to ten days in Origin City!"
"What about the time flow multiplier?" Alan asked cautiously.
If the flow of time is also ten times that of Origin City, it will not be as beautiful as it seems.
"The time flow rate is the same as in Origin City, also ten times."
Feng Yue answered calmly.
"The training efficiency there is higher... It's not just a matter of wasting time. There are other mysteries. I can't explain it to you now."
Alan has already opened up his telepathy, but unfortunately he is unable to detect what she is thinking.
I can only rely on my intuition and experience to tend to think that she is telling the truth.
"Well, I hope we can have a good cooperation."
Feng Yue smiled with satisfaction, and then said to him:
"When we talk privately, I'll call you Alan, but for correspondence, you must use a pseudonym for confidentiality."
"Since you have forgotten your own Holy Spirit name, why don't you pick a code name? I will report it to the organization for your record."
"Code name...Handsome!" Alan said without hesitation.
"What's the meaning?"
"Ordinary handsome."
"How superficial!" Feng Yue shook her head repeatedly, "This one is not good, change it to something more stylish!"
Alan thought about it and asked tentatively: "Taotie, is it okay?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Everything tastes delicious."
“…Is this your style?”
"No?"
"It seems that your brain has really been assimilated by the stupid host! Forget it, just use this!" Feng Yue said impatiently, "How do you spell this word?"
Alan wrote it to her.
Fengyue finished reading it silently and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Despite being in her Saint form, she does not sweat.
"You can write my code name, right?" Alan asked caringly.
"Well... write it again, I'm sure I can remember it this time!"
Fengyue said with some guilt.
…
After seeing off the wind and moon, it is still dark.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Alan followed Fengyue's instructions and teleported to the northern part of the Warcraft Mountains.
The teleportation landing point is located in the ruins of a military camp.
This place was once an orc fortress, but was later destroyed by a tsunami.
You can also find strange-shaped shells among the broken walls.
Alan turned on the "Qi Sensing" and walked among the ruins.
The road leading to the interior of the fortress has been filled with sand and stones.
Alan thought for a moment, activated the "Three-Phase Illusion", and turned into a fluid form.
It was like a ball of mercury, rolling along the ground without getting any dust on it.
Liquid Allen seeps into cracks in the sand and gravel and passes through silted areas.
Inside the fortress, in the dark halls, there was dried mud everywhere.
A layer of salt frost condensed on the wall.
The traces left after the sea water receded.
Qi sensing detected the existence of a cavity beneath the ground.
This detail shows that the information provided by Fengyue is true.
Alan maintained his liquid form and seeped down through the gaps in the floor tiles.
There was indeed a secret room under the fortress!
puff!
Liquid Allen flowed down from the ceiling, and the moment he hit the ground, he turned back into human form.
Human skeletons can be seen everywhere underfoot.
The limbs have thick joints and the fangs are exposed on the skull.
These characteristics indicate that the dead were all orcs.
The air in the underground secret room is polluted.
The smell of ashes mixed with decay was so pungent that it choked my nose.
Alan simply turned into gas.
When in gas or liquid state, he does not need to breathe and can maintain normal physiological activities.
Like elemental creatures!
In the center of the underground chamber, there is an ancient bronze altar.
Surrounding the altar, there are seven lampstands in the shape of animal heads.
Alan floated over to check.
The whale oil in the lampstand had long since dried up.
Next to each lampstand, there is a huge gray skeleton.
Judging from the shape of the skeleton, it seems to be a giant aquatic creature.
Allen identified the vertebrae of a whale and a sea serpent.
There is also a huge mermaid skeleton, which should have come from a sea giant.
Those other strange-shaped shells and fishbone-like skeletons make it hard to imagine what they looked like before they were born.
This chamber is an underground temple of the orcs.
The Orc Legion fought until the last moment to resist the sea giants who drove sea monsters to invade the fortress along with the tsunami.
In desperation, the orcs held a grand sacrifice here.
Trying to use the flesh and blood of sea monsters and sea giants to activate the altar and awaken the ancestral spirits.
Judging from the results, the orcs' last hope was not realized.
Before the sacrificial ceremony was completed, the sea water rushed in and drowned them.
Thousands of years later, when the sea receded, this underground temple resurfaced.
Alan walked up to the rusty bronze altar and observed the runes engraved on it.
This is a special symbol used by the orcs in ancient sacrifices.
Even today, even a genuine orc shaman may not be able to recognize it, but Alan can read it skillfully.
This is due to his practice in the world of meditation.
The ogre wizard ancestor spirit that Alan merged with lived in the era before the Great Flood.
In the memories of the ancestors, one can find all the knowledge about sacrificial rituals, including these obscure and mysterious runes.
Alan recalled and deciphered.
The sun rises and sets, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.
Alan was so absorbed in his studies that he was totally unaware of the passage of time.
"call……"
Let out a breath slowly.
Alan felt relieved.
It took him a whole day to finally understand all the runes.
This altar is the gateway to the "Giant Beast Ridge"!
The Behemoth Ridge is a hidden secret place, the resting place of the ancient Behemoth.
Only by meeting certain conditions can one be teleported to the Behemoth Ridge through the altar.
Orcs, or Warcraft bloodline warlocks, can complete the subsequent sacrifice ceremony there and challenge the awakened Behemoth.
If you succeed in the challenge, you can advance to Behemoth, or obtain the blood essence of Behemoth and fuse it yourself.
A beastman who can transform into a beast.
Rounding it off, it can also be considered a kind of monster.
Therefore, beastmancers can also advance or fuse with Behemoths!
It’s not easy to enter the Giant Beast Ridge.
The sea monster skeletons scattered around the altar have already given a hint.
The Behemoth clan hates sea monsters extremely!
The same is true in reverse.
The giant beasts in the sea also regard the behemoth beasts on land as their mortal enemy and a serious threat.
Just as dragons and giants hate each other.
The confrontation between the sea and land monsters lasted for countless centuries.
Until the warlock world underwent a huge change, most of the land was swallowed up by the sea, and land creatures could only survive on scattered islands, the war between the sea and land monsters finally came to an end.
Constrained by the drastic changes in the environment, the Behemoths faced an irreversible decline.
The giant sea beast known as "Leviathan" took advantage of the situation and rose up to hunt down the remaining enemies.
To this day, Warlock remains an archipelago world with ocean occupying over 90% of the surface space.
The deep ocean is still the territory of the Leviathans, and as for the Behemoths, they are almost extinct.
Only in secret spaces like the Giant Beast Ridge can one find dormant, fossilized remains of ancient species.
In order to enter the Behemoth Ridge, Alan must hunt sea monsters and perform a sacrificial ceremony.
The rules of sacrifice are quite strict!
At least one level 5 sea monster heart must be offered to awaken Behemoth and gain a chance to challenge.
Ordinary Behemoth, an enhanced version of the Totem Behemoth that Alan had seen in the Meditation World, with combat power no less than that of the early sixth level.
In addition, there are six more powerful elemental behemoths.
Behemoth in the sky!
Earth Behemoth!
Volcano Behemoth!
Glacier Behemoth!
Thunder Behemoth!
Raging Behemoth!
There are six elemental behemoths, each possessing the attributes of wind, earth, fire, ice, electricity, and water.
The growth potential and upper limit are higher than ordinary Behemoths, and it can also awaken magic with corresponding elemental attributes!
If you want to awaken the elemental behemoth, you must sacrifice at least a sixth-order sea monster!
Sea serpents, Naga mistresses, deep-sea squids, giant octopuses, Hydra lizards... can all be considered fifth-level sea monsters, which are not difficult for Alan to deal with.
The sixth-order sea monster is a distant relative of Leviathan and is not so easy to deal with!
What's more, neither the altar inscription nor the ancestral memory of the ogre wizard gave Alan the clues he desperately needed...
Where can we find the sixth-level sea monster?
Alan first thought of the housekeeper Mi Rui.
This cunning golem speaks nicely but is actually very tight-lipped.
It would cost a lot to get information from him!
Even if you spend money, the information provided by the butler is vague and confusing, as if you are guessing a riddle.
Alan has suffered losses before and doesn't want to waste money again.
Compared to that profiteer, my relatives and friends are more reliable.
Among all 43 trial participants, Alan's cultivation was not the best.
But when it comes to making friends widely, he calls himself second to none and no one dares to claim to be first!
All the forces participating in the trial, except the Dragon Vein faction, have his informants.
It's time to use your connections.
Alan took out a small amount of Forget-Me-Not spores and sent out a "wind message" to ask his relatives and friends about the sea monster.
Soon, I received a reply from Tufman.
"Junior brother, come to the polar ice sea quickly!"
"Betin and I are hunting down the Dog of Solem!"
"Yesterday evening, I saw a giant squid swimming in the icy sea. It was so big that it was as big as a glacier!"
"It must be the sea monster you are looking for."
Deep sea squid?
Alan's heart moved.
According to the ancestral memory of the ogre wizard, the deep-sea squid does have a thin bloodline of the Leviathan clan.
An ordinary deep-sea squid is just a fifth-level sea monster.
However, there is also a special kind of deep-sea squid called "Kraken", also known as the North Sea Monster.
He is the direct descendant of Leviathan, a legitimate sea beast!
An adult Kraken is comparable to an elemental Behemoth, and its strength is at least late stage six!
Not only does he have the ability to overturn rivers and seas and capsize ships, he is also proficient in both water and electricity magic.
When he gets angry, thunder and lightning will destroy everything.
Control the tsunami and flood the earth, it is extremely terrifying!
According to historical records, Kraken prefers cold waters and lives in the deep polar sea for many years. He enjoys offerings from evil fishmen and regards himself as the god of the sea.
This habitat is consistent with what Second Brother said!
Challenging the Kraken is difficult, but worth a try!
Alan touched the copper ring on his hand and felt more confident.
Anyway, I have the trial ring to protect me. Even if I can't win, at least I can escape automatically and teleport back to the Origin Castle.
With this in mind, Alan turned on the "navigation bracelet" and found the coordinates provided by his second brother in his reply.
Qianli Xianting, teleport directly there!
…
Trial space, polar ice sea.
The cold wind howled, blowing up thousands of piles of snow.
Glaciers of all sizes are floating on the vast sea.
On the coast, there is piled up ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, like a pale desert.
Occasionally you can see polar water birds and ferocious white bears.
Suddenly, the howling of wolves was heard on the icy and snowy coast.
The water birds were frightened and flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
The polar bear also showed a look of fear, and hurriedly went into the ice cave and hid himself.
Swish! Swish!
Two figures were running across the hardened snowfield!
The petite girl with glasses followed the bloodstains left on the snow, tracking the injured prey.
The Dog of Solem, commonly known as the Advanced Winter Wolf, is the hunting target that the wolf girl Beiting is determined to obtain on this trip!
She has merged the blood of the winter wolf and evolved into a winter werewolf.
Not long ago, his cultivation level broke through the fifth level and advanced to the Rakshasa evil ghost.
In Rakshasa form, it still maintains the characteristics of a winter werewolf, has cold attributes, and has awakened the 5th-ring magic "Ice Cone"!
Winter Wolf Rakshasa, its overall strength is stronger than that of ordinary beast-transformed Rakshasa.
However, Beiting was not satisfied.
Only when I came to the City of Origin did I realize that there is always someone better than you.
Not to mention the unfathomable Holy Demon Royal Family and the housekeeper Mi Rui, the forty-two trial-takers of the same period as her all possessed unique skills.
Beiting has always been proud and thinks she is very talented.
However, it is not a problem if you don't know the goods, but it is a problem if you compare the goods.
Compared with other trial participants, she barely ranked in the middle.
The proud daughter of heaven, who was once high and mighty, fell to the level of mediocrity.
The arrogant Princess of the Wolf family was strongly stimulated!
What’s even more terrifying is that most of the trial participants who are not as strong as her are younger than her, which means they have greater potential.
Others may not be as good as her now, but that may not be the case in the future!
Competing with this group of geniuses, Beiting is under a lot of pressure!
She didn't want to fall behind, and didn't want to be eliminated after a hundred days and be embarrassed!
For this reason, she must work very hard to improve her strength as much as possible during the 100-day trial.
If you want to achieve significant improvement in such a short time, there are only two ways - advancement or integration!
Beiting has advanced to Rakshasa Evil Ghost, and has not yet found a warlock profession that is obviously better than Rakshasa Evil Ghost.
Moreover, the Rakshasa evil ghost is closely related to the beliefs of the Beast Cult, and it is not easy for her to change her job.
Instead of changing the track, it is better to integrate other bloodlines based on the Rakshasa evil ghost and strive for perfection!
The target chosen by Beiting is the high-level winter wolf bloodline.
She and Taffman searched everywhere on the ice and snow.
It took four days to finally find a lone high-level winter wolf.
In ecstasy, he acted impulsively.
As a result, the prey's alertness was underestimated.
The higher winter wolf sensed danger and immediately summoned an "Ice Storm".
Under the cover of flying snow and hail, he escaped.
Fortunately, Taffman acted in time and injured the beast.
Beiting was able to follow the blood trail and track it here.
After tracking for a whole morning, Beiting was exhausted and gasping for breath.
The wind and snow blowing in the face formed a layer of frost on the lenses.
She had to take off her glasses frequently to wipe off the frost.
At this time, a burly bald man came running over.
He stretched out his long arms, picked up the wolf girl by the waist and held her in his arms.
Beiting hugged the strong man's neck and smiled sweetly.
"Hubby, thank you for your hard work!"
Beiting's feelings for Tafman have long gone beyond the limits of master and servant.
On the surface, she was the eldest daughter, and Taffman was just a favored lover by her side.
In private, the two call each other husband and wife.
Taffman picked up Beiting with one hand, wrapped her in his cloak and protected her from the wind and snow.
He ran at full speed, following the blood trail left by his prey on the snow.
Suddenly, a wolf howled from the front, with a hint of panic.
Immediately afterwards, both of them sensed an unusually strong fluctuation of magical power!
Beiting's expression changed involuntarily.
“Something’s wrong!”
"Honey, it seems like someone is teleporting over here!"
"Just in time to block the escape route of the High-Level Winter Wolf!"
"That beast is very shrewd, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
"Hearing it bark so frequently, I know... that uninvited guest is not easy to deal with and it is frightened!"
"What should we do?" Taffman asked the wolf girl in a deep voice.
Beiting twisted her waist and slid out of her boyfriend's arms.
Quickly make a series of gestures and open the invisible magic ball.
"Hubby, please walk lightly and go over there to observe secretly."
Beiting stood on tiptoe and whispered in Taffman's ear.
"If it's another trial participant who comes to snatch the prey from us, I will hold him back while you take the opportunity to kill the high-level winter wolf and extract its blood essence . Then you can join forces with me to deal with the guy who showed up to cause trouble!"
Tufman nodded without objection.
In private, through the spiritual link established by the Forget-Me-Not Spores, he asked Junior Brother Allen not to harm his sister-in-law.
He knew in his heart that with Alan's current strength, if he really wanted to fight, he could kill Beiting with just one slap!
