C1859 Hengduan Mountains
"This kind of mountain range naturally contains a lot of resources, but these three countries rarely enter this mountain range, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare approach the heart of the Crosscut Mountain Range. The reason is very simple, there's a Symbol Literature Academy inside this Crosscut Mountain Range.
"The center of the academy is a circumference of a hundred kilometers, shrouded in a bizarre rune array. I heard that the rune array uses the veins below the Crosscut Mountain Range as its energy, so its energy is endless."
"The reason why this rune array is so strange is because no matter which beast it is, even if you are a ninth level beast, entering it would not be able to awaken the beast's innate talent. Even the energy within your body can only activate the energy of a second level beast, and you would have to go through a special rune sword."
"And because of this, those powerful beasts don't even dare to enter the Crosscut Mountain Range. They are strong outside, but they are weak inside. If they aren't careful and die, that would be a huge loss."
Hearing Jiang Zhixing say that, Lin Long could not help but be shocked, "There really is such a place?"
"Brother Lin, there really is such a place. If I want this place to become powerful, I need to work hard to raise my Symbol Literature's power, because only by doing this can I control the rune sword inside." The Azure Lotus said.
Jiang Zhixing continued, "I heard that there are nine different rune sword s, which are the wood sword, stone sword, bronze sword, iron sword, silver sword, black gold sword, gold sword, purple gold sword, and dark sword. The wood sword's ability is the lowest, while the dark sword's power is the highest, corresponding to a person's strength above the Symbol Literature."
"In other words, only when one has a certain level of strength in the Symbol Literature can they use these rune sword and use them against their enemies. The higher the strength of the Symbol Literature, the stronger the rune sword they can control?" Lin Long asked.
"That's right, that is exactly the case, so, in this Crosscut Mountain Range, the rest are not important, only the Symbol Literature is important. Even if you can kill a thousand people outside, you may just be an ordinary person inside." Jiang Zhixing said.
"The purpose of this Blue Cloud Symbol Literature Academy is to let the people inside work hard to improve their knowledge in the Symbol Literature. It is also because of this that this Crosscut Mountain Range is the holy land of all the Symbol Literature lovers in the Azure Cloud Continent. The Azure Lotus said.
A trace of longing appeared on her face as she spoke of this.
"However, even though it is a Sacred Ground, it is an extremely dangerous place, so it still makes many people stop in their tracks."
"Little Brother Lin, although you have mastered many runes, you seem to have a natural sensitivity towards runes. If you were to go there, I believe that you would definitely become a powerful Charm Magician."
"Only there can your enemy not easily kill you."
"There are quite a few powerful Charm Magician inside, when that time comes, you can have them remove the runes on your body."
Jiang Zhixing said.
"If that's the case, then I have to leave this Crosscut Mountain Range." Lin Long said.
Honestly speaking, after hearing the two of them say this, he had a kind of yearning towards the Symbol Literature Academy.
"However, before that, you all should first teach me a few things." Lin Long said.
Although he could be considered a powerful Charm Magician, he did not know about the runes in this world. If he were to go directly in this way, he would only be able to see the light of day, so he naturally hoped that the Qing Lian duo could take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"Big Brother Lin, don't worry. Leave this bag to me." The azure lotus immediately said.
"If there's anything that Qing Lian doesn't know, Little Brother Lin can ask me. Of course, with Qing Lian's strength, I don't think there's anything I can teach you." Jiang Zhixing said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, you think too highly of me." The azure lotus couldn't help but say.
Immediately, the green lotus began to teach Lin Long the Symbol Literature of this world.
Unknowingly, two days had passed by, and it had to be said that the knowledge of this world's Symbol Literature was extremely vast. Even with Lin Long's strength, he had only grasped a few basics.
If that was the case, it would be better if he let Qing Lian and Jiang Zhixing continue teaching him. However, after the past two days, he started to frown.
This was because he discovered that the medicinal strength of the green pill within his body was obviously decreasing. If he didn't leave this place as soon as possible, he was afraid that the girl in black would rush over to kill him.
Knowing that he could not stay here any longer, Lin Long turned to Qing Lian and the others and said, "The green pellet in my body has already started to decrease in medicinal strength, so I have to leave."
"Brother Lin, please be careful on your way." Although he was reluctant to part with Lin Long, Qing Lian could only say such words.
Because if Lin Long was still here, it would be extremely dangerous for them, so it was naturally nothing for her alone. The problem was Li Cai and her brother.
As for Jiang Zhixing, he also had his own family.
The green lotus naturally wanted to go with Lin Long to the Crosscut Mountain Range, but she knew that if he were to follow him with his own strength, he would only be a burden, so he naturally did not mention such a thing.
Just like this, Lin Long left Qing Lian and the others and headed straight for the Crosscut Mountain Range.
The Crosscut Mountain Range was located in the middle of the Azure Cloud Continent and wasn't close to here. It took Lin Long three days of time to arrive at the outskirts of the Crosscut Mountain Range.
During this period of time, he could faintly sense the powerful aura of the black-robed girl. He didn't know how she had gotten close to him, but relying on her powerful spiritual will and movement, Lin Long didn't let her find him.
However, if the effects of the green pill on his body disappeared, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would be able to avoid his opponent.
In this way, Lin Long became even more anxious to enter the area of influence of Blue Cloud Academy in the Crosscut Mountain Range, because no matter how strong the black-clothed girl was, it was useless.
Even though the Crosscut Mountain Range was large, the strange Symbol Grammar Array was not able to completely envelop the entire mountain range. Thus, the area Lin Long was currently located in was still not within the strange Symbol Grammar Array.
If Lin Long flew inside quickly, he would enter the range of the strange Symbol Grammar Array.
However, Lin Long did not do so, because there were many strong bird-type fierce beasts in the sky above the Crosscut Mountain Range. If he flew over like this, he would definitely be surrounded and killed by many of these fierce beasts.
After he landed on the ground, he ran forward.
Although he did not specifically look for time to heal his injuries, with the powerful body technique and the top-grade healing medicine, most of the wounds on his body had already healed.
After walking for a short while, Lin Long saw a group of thirty to forty people in front of him.
There were about seven to eight Rank 4 beasts among these beasts, and in the middle of the group, there was a palanquin, and beside the palanquin, there were two Rank 4 beasts. One of them, Lin Long could not tell how strong he was, but the other was weaker.
As for the other rank 4 beasts, they were scattered around. However, their clothing was obviously different from the few people sitting beside the sedan.
As for the others, they naturally walked among the beast practitioners. These people were all beast practitioners, but their strength was still weak. They were basically only at the strength of a rank one or two beast practitioner.
There were both men and women, most of them were men, and they were also relatively young.
Thinking that he did not know much about the surrounding terrain, Lin Long decided to join the party.
Immediately, he caught up to the group of people.
When they saw that Lin Long had dared to pass through the Crosscut Mountain Range by himself, and did not seem to be very strong, these people were naturally shocked.
"Little brother, you are quite bold. You actually dared to walk through this mountain range by yourself." Looking at Lin Long, one of the middle aged men with a full beard said.
This person seemed to be the leader of the surrounding beastmen army.
"I didn't expect it to be so dangerous inside, so I hurried over when I saw you guys." Lin Long smiled slightly.
He did not intend to reveal his true strength.
"Then your luck is really good, you haven't encountered any danger for so long." Someone beside him said.
"You seem to have some strength. Join our team. This way, you won't be afraid of danger." The other person said.
"That's great. However, I wonder if the rest of you would agree to it. " Lin Long looked uneasy.
"Don't worry, no one would dare disapprove if I say yes." The bearded middle-aged man laughed.
"Brother Lu has already spoken, how could we dare to not agree?" The others also laughed.
Lin Long having a certain level of strength was the reason why they were willing to allow Lin Long to join them. Otherwise, if it was anyone else who did not have strength, they would have been rejected immediately.
"Why did you stop?" At this time, such an impatient voice came out from the sedan chair. Lin Long could tell that it was a youth who was not much older than him.
"Your Highness, we're only resting for a moment. We'll be leaving soon!" The bearded middle-aged man quickly replied.
After that, they called for everyone to continue moving forward, and the reason why they stopped was naturally because of Lin Long.
"This big brother, how should I address you?" Lin Long followed beside a Level 3 Beast Tamer and asked softly.
"My name is Lu Ming Huo." The other party replied.
This name was a little special, Lin Long thought, and then said: "My surname is Lin."
"So it's Little Brother Lin." Then he pointed at the bearded man and said, "That's my big brother, Guo Lu."
"Oh." Lin Long nodded, then looked at the palanquin and asked softly, "Who is inside?"
"He is the son of the Prince of Meng Country." The third level beast answered.
"So it's someone from Meng Country." Lin Long said, then asked curiously, "However, you guys don't seem to be from Meng Country."
"Of course we're not people from the Meng Nation. We're just some animals that escorted people into the Blue Cloud Symbol Literature Academy to earn some money."
"So that's how it is." Lin Long nodded his head, then asked, "Just that, as a prince, does he need someone to escort him?"
Meng Nation was not small, and their strength was ranked among the top in the Azure Cloud Continent, so Lin Long found it strange.
"He originally did not need his status, but it seems that it was because he came so suddenly that he came to find us. Of course, this is also because they are afraid of encountering some kind of accident, otherwise, with just the two Rank 4 beasts, they would be enough to escort him to the Blue Cloud Symbol Literature Academy." The other party replied.
"Don't tell me that I often encounter some fierce beasts along the way?" Lin Long asked again.
"I don't usually, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." The other party said.
Lin Long nodded his head to show that he understood.
After hearing the words of the other party, he was clear that they were there to escort the crown prince's group and the other people who looked weak. Although these people were weak, they were still going to the Symbol Literature Academy.
"Roar... Roar... Roar..."
After walking for a while, they suddenly heard a low roar from a vicious beast in front of them. Then, a group of vicious beasts appeared in front of them.
It was a pack of black wolves, around twenty of them. There were even many fourth-level vicious beasts among them.
Seeing these fierce beasts, the face of the bearded man and the others couldn't help but change. What they feared the most was encountering a group of vicious beasts like this. But luckily, there didn't seem to be a lot of black wolves.
If it was just a bunch, then it would be troublesome.
It was still alright for the few of them, but the faces of the weaker cultivators instantly turned deathly pale.
"Uncle He, what happened?" At this moment, such a sound came from the sedan.
Although the voice was soft, Lin Long could naturally understand it with his divine sense.
The other party was obviously talking to the Level 4 Beast Tamer beside the palanquin. In the next moment, the strongest Beast Tamer, who was still in a daze from the other party, opened his half-closed eyes and said, "Master, we met with some black wolves. However, they will be settled soon."
"That's good." The crown prince said.
After saying that, he lifted the curtain in front of the sedan chair and swept his gaze around before setting it down.
Lin Long had already known that the other party was not strong, so he did not pay attention to him.
If it wasn't for the identity of the other party's heir, he wouldn't even have asked for it.
It was at this moment that one of the black wolves that seemed to be a wolf king let out a growl, and the black wolves in front of them began to charge towards them from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, a black wolf charged over from beside Lin Long. This black wolf was also a Level 3 Beast Master, so Lin Long did not place it in his eyes.
On the other hand, Lu Huo who was beside Lin Long felt like he was facing a great enemy. After all, he was not a Rank 4 Beast Master.
Lin Long casually struck out with his sword, this strike did not unleash the power of a Rank 4 Beast Warrior, but used the Mystical Wind Sword Technique. With the profound essence of the Mystical Wind Sword Technique, the incoming black wolf was immediately slashed in the neck.
With a muffled sound, the black wolf was sent flying by Lin Long. Not only that, half of its head was almost decapitated by Lin Long's longsword.
After falling to the ground, the black wolf took a few steps forward with all its might before falling to the ground. Even if it didn't die, it wouldn't be able to fight back.
"Little Brother Lin is really powerful!" Seeing Lin Long being able to kill the black wolf with a single slash, Lu Huo was naturally extremely shocked.
At this moment, he was also fighting against a black wolf. As for the others, the crown prince's two rank 4 beast warriors had also joined the battle.
The number of the black wolves was far greater than those who could fight. Therefore, some people would fight against two, while others would fight against three.
Thus, although they had already confirmed that these black wolves wouldn't cause them any great trouble, the battle still seemed very intense.
There were even people who were injured if they weren't careful.
