“Make it clear. Since you’ve chosen to betray the Lion King, there is no way for you to retreat or turn back. The only way to survive is to kill the Lion King with me and then step over his corpse. Other than that, nothing else is important!”
The Tiger King stared at the Wolf King fiercely and emphasized each word. “If it’s chaotic outside, then let them be. Whether it’s those fellows in Red-gold City who won’t settle down, or the four great clans that are poking their heads out at the Gold Clan’s border, their ridiculous actions make them comparable to a flock of hens pouncing and pecking!
“As long as we can get rid of the Horn of Destruction and firmly grasp the sacred mountain’s inheritance in our hands, what else can this flock of hens do other than crawl under our feet?
“On the other hand, if Lion King doesn’t die and even obtains the inheritance of the sacred mountain, even if we temporarily control the situation outside, how can we fight against him? At that time, it will be our turn to be the hens that are struggling on the brink of death!
“As for the army of the Wolf clan, Humph, what’s there to feel sorry for a bunch of trash that even the rat rebels can’t deal with? It’s best if all of them die so that we don’t waste the precious mandala fruit!
“Don’t worry. As long as you can help me kill the Horn of destruction and find the inheritance of the sacred mountain, I’ll definitely not forget your contributions. When the time comes, your strength will be ten times stronger than it is now. When you return to the Wolf Clan, you’ll be able to crush the rat rebels with just a finger and make those unruly commanders submit to you. Wouldn’t it be much better to be a wolf king in name than a puppet that’s at the mercy of others?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Jackal”kanus’Adam’s apple bobbed as he hurriedly said.
The Tiger King laughed in satisfaction.
He pinched the Wolf King’s shoulder twice, causing him to grimace and almost kneel to the ground.
“As long as your information is accurate, we will definitely be able to hunt down the Lion King!”
The Tiger King said confidently, “Didn’t you say that for the sake of absolute secrecy, the Lion King didn’t want too many experts within the Lion clan to share the inheritance of the sacred mountain with him? Therefore, when entering the sacred mountain, he only brought a very small number of trusted aides. He didn’t even bring his own younger brother, platinum embrace, who was dug out from his mother’s womb?
“I’m different. Everyone in the Gold clan knows that I, violent blade, have always been the most generous, and no matter what extraordinary treasures are hidden in the depths of the Holy Mountain, I’m willing to share them with the warriors of the Tiger clan.
“In terms of the number of warriors, our side is at least three to five times more than the Horn of destruction’s side.
“In addition to the Wolf Whelps under you, even if we’re unable to bite off a few pieces of flesh from that group of lions, at least they’ll be able to help us hold them back, right?
“So, the Horn of destruction definitely won’t have a chance to leave the sacred mountain alive. Absolutely!”
The Tiger King’s optimism seemed to have infected the Wolf King.
The latter’s eyes also became firm. He nodded heavily and echoed, “Absolutely!”
“Then why don’t you hurry up and lead the way?”
The Tiger King’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, “If the Lion King finds the inheritance of the sacred mountain first, all of us will die, and you will definitely die the most miserable death!”
“Yes, yes, but we can’t leave yet.”
“Hu Lang,”kanus said as he pointed at the forest that was becoming more and more blurry. “The fog is getting thicker, and the surrounding environment will soon change!”
The Tiger King looked in the direction he pointed.
He found that the fog was like the seawater when the tide was rising, and it came very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had silently submerged the entire forest.
Even the towering trees that were dozens of arms tall, and even the mountain peaks that reached the clouds in the distance, were swallowed by the fog. They were like lighthouses and isolated islands that were constantly impacted by the raging waves.
“Everyone, come over here and grab each other’s shoulders and arms. The more densely the formation, the better. Hold on tight, don’t be captured by the fog, or else God knows where you will be thrown!”
The Tiger King’s expression changed as he roared at the top of his lungs.
The usually ferocious tigers and wolves could not display even the slightest bit of barbaric strength in the face of the raging fog.
They could only hug each other’s bodies like porcupines in a snowstorm, making the entire team’s foothold as small as possible.
According to what “Jackal”kanus had told them before entering the mountain.
They closed their eyes and buried their heads under each other’s shoulders.
They heard the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and the deafening roar of the cracking ice.
They also felt waves of ferocious squalls whirling around them rapidly.
It was as if they were trying to tear off their armor from their flesh, their flesh from their bones, and their bones from their souls.
If not for everyone hugging each other tightly, they would have been like dozens of trees that had their roots deeply embedded into the ground.
They would definitely have gotten lost in the spatial upheaval.
Once they were swept away by the strong winds, they would either be transported to the clouds or directly transported into the rocks.
The earth-shattering spatial upheaval had lasted for an unknown period of time.
Just as the strongest tiger warrior felt his arms become numb and swollen, and his blood vessels were about to explode.
The whistling and shaking finally gradually weakened, and everything returned to calm.
The Tiger Wolves, who were still in shock, slowly raised their heads and carefully observed the environment after the fog dissipated.
They immediately discovered that the world had changed in all directions.
They were originally at the end of a forest, and the plants around them gradually became sparse. They were about to step out of the forest.
Right in front of them was a floating mountain range that was shrouded in clouds and a waterfall. There were also a large number of tangled roots and vines that hung all the way down from the floating mountain range, they hung all the way down to the ground like a ladder.
But now..
They did not know why, but they were already in the sky hundreds of arms high, halfway up a floating mountain!
The towering trees that blotted out the sky were replaced by strangely shaped rocks.
The winding paths in the forest had become a drawbridge made of vines and roots that grew horizontally, connecting several floating mountains.
There was also a blood-red waterfall that gave off the smell of sulfur that flowed down from the left side of their heads. After splashing water all over their faces, it poured down to the height of hundreds of arms, it merged into a large stream that had just formed on the ground.
Presumably, it would not be long before the large stream turned into a large river and completely changed the terrain of this area.
Even the king of Fierce Tigers, who held a peerless fierce saber in his hand, looked far into the unpredictable world. His expression was solemn and silent for a long time before he snorted heavily and wiped his face, he gritted his teeth and said, “Is this the reason why the sacred mountain has devoured the lives of countless warriors in the past ten thousand years?”
“Yes, the sacred mountain is really different from all the other sacred places of adventurers in Tulanze that contain mysterious powers.”
“Jackal,”kanus said, “The space here is very unstable. Drastic changes will happen every once in a while.
“The mountain peaks that were suspended in the air will sink into the ground. The originally flat and solid land will tear the Abyss apart. The ores that were originally hidden in the Abyss will fly into the sky and form a new suspended mountain range.
“It’s like… It’s like the broken pieces of ice that are floating above the whirlpool. Sometimes, they will condense into icebergs, and sometimes, they will shatter and sink into the depths of the whirlpool.
“If you can’t figure out the laws of the changes in space, you will plunge into the sacred mountain rashly. It’s like being trapped in a maze where there is no exit and even the entrance is blocked. You will only be trapped inside
“Thankfully –”
The Tiger King grinned hideously. “Three thousand years ago, when the army of Holy Light invaded the Holy Mountain of Tulan, all the changes in space were mapped out
“That’s right. May the ancestral spirits forgive us for our incompetence. However, the ones who understand us the most are often not ourselves but our enemies.”
“Jackal,”kanus said, “Three thousand years ago, the Holy Light Camp mobilized an army of a million soldiers and surrounded the holy mountain of Tulan. They even begged their gods to give them countless demonic puppets known as ‘Slaughtering Angels’in an attempt to uproot the entire holy mountain in the simplest and most brutal way.
“Of course, the clowns and puppets could not shake the temple where the ancestral spirits of Tulan were sleeping.
“However, after leaving behind countless corpses and the remains of the puppets, they mapped out a total of nine spatial changes around the Holy Mountain. They also used the evil light energy to create a map that could change according to the spatial changes at any time
“It’s a pity that the map has fallen into the hands of the Lion King Now.”
The Tiger King rubbed his canine teeth in dissatisfaction, producing a series of sparks. He squinted at the wolf king and asked, “Did you really remember all nine spatial changes?”
“I did.”
In front of the mammoth-like Tiger King, the Wolf King curled up his waist, as docile as a dog whose leg had been broken, “In the past few years, I’ve led the excavation team and entered the sacred mountain several times. The lives of so many wolves and rats were not lost here for nothing.
“Besides, when I came last time, I left a mark.”
“Speaking of Marks –”
The tiger king said, “Aren’t you worried that the Lion King will erase all the marks you left after entering the sacred mountain so that no one will follow you?”
“Well, I left two kinds of marks at that time.”
The Wolf King said, “The first kind of Mark was smeared with the ointment that the Lion King gave me, so the Lion King would naturally find it. However, the second kind of Mark was smeared with my own urine and an ancient spice. It can continue to emit a smell for dozens of days. Moreover, only I can smell this smell.”
“I see.”
The Tiger King suddenly burst into laughter. “It turns out that you, a dog who seems to be loyal to the Horn of destruction, had the intention of betraying your master at that time!”
“No, that’s not it.”
The Wolf King’s face turned red as he defended himself helplessly, “I, I had no choice. I didn’t want to betray the Lion King at all. It’s just that, it’s just that he shouldn’t have trampled on my bottom line like this. What did he say… a ghoul dog like me is not qualified to take even half a step into the sacred mountain temple!
“I — I worked so hard to help lion king explore the ruins of the temple for more than ten years, but he didn’t see my contribution at all!
“Besides, I know so many secrets about Lion King and the temple of the sacred mountain. I’m very worried that he won’t let me go. The reason why he kept me alive for the time being is that he hasn’t figured out all the secrets in the depths of the sacred mountain. Once he gets the inheritance of the Sacred Mountain, the first thing he will do when he returns to Crimson Gold City is to kill me to silence me.
“So, I, so –”
“Hahahaha, there’s no need to explain. What’s wrong with betraying your master? How can a great warrior of Tulan submit to the servitude of others for the rest of his life?”
Tiger King laughed, “Do you know why I’ve always disliked you in the past? Why have I always spoken ill of you? It’s because I can’t stand your subservient manner! “You are the leader of the Wolf clan after all. Even if you are a puppet, you should have the bearing of a wolf king!
“I didn’t expect that you would have the guts to betray Lion King this time. Very good, very good. This is what a warrior of Tulan should be like!
“Don’t worry. I Don’t mind your betrayal of Lion King at all.. In the end, those who will fail because of the betrayal of their subordinates are just weaklings who are not worthy of sympathy. By the way, you are welcome to betray me whenever the time is ripe — as long as you are not afraid of being crushed to death by me, one bone at a Time!”
