Last Totem Novel - Chapter 428
Chapter 428 Azure Wolf
After hiding the supplies, Tie Zha put the package on his back and continued forward. The altitude here has fallen to about seven thousand meters. There is no need for oxygen equipment. After climbing down for two days, the altitude continued to drop, and vegetation gradually appeared around them. First there were some mosses, then some ferns, and then below five thousand meters above sea level, there were sparse woods.
A few days later, he arrived at a huge valley with dense trees, flowing mountains and springs, full of vitality, and occasionally traces of small animals. Judging from the watch, the elevation here was around 3,500 meters. The temperature was moderate, and the sunlight was warm. It was like a paradise.
After wandering around for a while, he caught a fat rabbit, opened its mouth and washed it by the spring, and roasted it with a fire. The fragrance of meat immediately permeated the forest. Not long after, he drank the sweet spring water, ate the delicious rabbit meat, and lived a pleasant life in the wild. After eating and drinking, he jumped into a stream, took a bath, washed his clothes, and hung them on the treetops to dry.
After resting for two days, he waited for his body to recover to its peak condition before putting it on his back and continuing to explore. According to the hints of the previous Great Prophet, the treasure was hidden in this valley. It was just a specific location that needed to be searched slowly.
A few days later, he didn’t find any clues and instead hunted a goat. Goats weren’t as fat as rabbits. They weren’t roasted enough and their meat wasn’t sweet enough. He slaughtered the sheep by the spring, dug a small pit and buried his organs. Then he set up a fire and roasted the mutton.
“Zzz zz …”
A few minutes later, yellow orange and orange lanolin dripped onto the firewood pile, giving off an attractive fragrance. After sprinkling chili pepper and cumin powder, it made people drool. He pulled out his knife and cut off a small piece of shiny lamb. He put it into his mouth and bit it down. The delicious juice immediately filled his mouth. As he ate barbecue meat and drank spring water, he couldn’t help but think how pleasant life would be if he brought the two girls and lived here from now on, far away from the conflicts in the world, hunting during the day, setting up a campfire at night and staring at the stars.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before disappearing in front of the cluster of flames in his heart. He clearly knew that only by igniting the brilliant sacred flame would he be able to restore calm to his heart.
After a big meal, he cut the remaining mutton into pieces, wrapped it in compressed biscuit paper, put it in his bag, and continued to set out.
After several days of exploration, he finally found the location of the treasure. It was a man-made cave in a corner of the valley. In front of the cave stood a large rock with a cluster of flames carved on its surface. Although it had been a long time, covered with moss and traces of weathering, the cluster of flames was still clearly visible, lifelike, as if it was beating, filled with endless vitality.
Pushing the boulder away, Tie Zha walked into the cave. Under the illumination of the flashlight, one could see that the stone wall was covered with thick roots. The ground was a little wet, as if water had seeped down from above. In the silence, it was as if one could hear the soft sound of water dripping onto the stone and the gentle sound of the wind. The air here feels fresh, completely free from the feeling of being closed for a long time.
After walking for fifty meters in the darkness, after turning a corner, the front suddenly became clear. Looking around, it was an arched space in the middle of a mountain, and there was a faint light spraying down from above. Under the dim light, one could see that the ground was covered in gray spider silk, and under the spider silk, there seemed to be many objects that were half a human’s height piled up. In order to see the situation clearly, he took out a magnesium strip and forcefully scraped it on the wall of the cave, throwing it out.
“Chi” Along with the light sound of burning, the magnesium bars spat out dazzling sparks, reflecting the entire cave to a bright red color.
In an instant, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The things on the ground were not ordinary spider silk, nor were they the things he had expected. Instead, they were giant cocoons. At a glance, there were hundreds of them.
He was immediately shocked, thinking that this place would not be occupied by any creatures, and these gray cocoons were their larvae. With such doubts in mind, he slowed down, avoided the cocoon, and began to investigate the surroundings.
After a while, he found some piled-up sealed boxes in the corner. The surface of the box looked very weathered, but after it was pried open, layers of oil paper wrapped around it, seemingly well preserved. However, when he completely opened the package, he was almost dumbfounded. There was actually a grey tarpaulin uniform inside. Although they were well preserved, military uniforms were useless. Then, he opened more than a dozen sealed boxes. Inside were military clothes, or cold weapons of varying lengths. He couldn’t help but be puzzled. Could these military supplies be what the previous Great Prophet called his family’s wealth?
If it was just these things, then he would have come for nothing. It wasn’t all this, but what was it? These materials were obviously carefully preserved. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been sealed so well, and it wouldn’t be a problem to keep them for a few hundred years. After rummaging around, he found that apart from the bug cocoons, there were also these sealed boxes that contained military uniforms or cold weapons, there was nothing else here.
He was instantly extremely disappointed. After spending more than half a year, he walked here through all sorts of hardships and encountered such a scene.
Inadvertently, his gaze swept across the side of the stone wall and saw an old man dressed in a cloth robe, with straw ropes tied around his waist, playing the harmonica carved on it. He subconsciously took out his harmonica, looked at the silver body, took a deep breath, and began to play.
The melodious melody slowly flowed out, echoing between the stone walls, spreading far away …
We woke up from the deep sea, climbed on father’s fishing boat, picked up the old harpoon, gazed at the vast deep sea, and blew the horn of freedom.
We woke up from the distant mountains, rode on young elephants, raised ancient flags, stared at the distant mountains, and played the flute of farewell.
We woke up from the cemetery, dressed in mottled armor, pulled out our ancient swords, gazed into the vast world, and rang the last bell.
When the melancholy zither music turned loud, cotton-padded tearing sounds echoed through the ground, and tall figures broke through the cocoons.
“What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!” “What year is tonight!”
They were naked, tears flowing down their faces, and they roared towards the sky, causing the sand and stones on the top to slide down one after another. The sadness as deep as the ocean, the indignation as fierce as a volcano, seemed to have spanned a hundred years, causing the heavens and earth to be moved. On the eve of the war, they were ordered to use their epic insect-like ability to seal themselves here, waiting for their descendants to awaken for a long time.
In that era of darkness, with what mood did they close their eyes and sleep forever? The departure of relatives, the departure of comrades-in-arms, the disappearance of loved ones, and the untouchable future were unbearable.
Becoming a fire seed was the most painful and courageous choice in the world. Becoming a final guardian was also the same.
When they wake up again, it means they’ve lost everything. If they had a choice, they would rather die on the battlefield than suffer this kind of pain. Their hearts were filled with anger, sorrow, unwillingness, and shame, as if they were filled with bitterness and bitterness, and all sorts of flavors of the world surged into their hearts at the same time …
“When you wake up again, perhaps the world will be filled with vicissitudes, but please do not be sad, because we have returned to the Holy Flame and are waiting for your return …”
“Go, Guardians, you are a strong force that spans time and space, the last roar of the Holy Wolf!”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Amidst the deafening explosion, three beams of light shot into the sky, shattering the rock strata and soaring into the clouds. The dazzling sunlight instantly shone in, making people’s eyes light up.
Not long after, the awakened people gradually calmed down. Three meteors flew to the ground one by one and half knelt in front of Tie Zha. Their entire bodies emitted a powerful aura, causing one’s heart to feel awe. It was precisely the power of majesty, the might of the Saint Stage.
“Red Martial Saint of the Azure Wolf Legion, lead the 300 Saint Wolf Guardians to meet the Warsong Shaman.” A sturdy red-haired man in his forties shouted at Tie Zha.
“Blue Martial Saint of the Azure Wolf Legion, lead a hundred Heavenly Eagle Nightwalkers to meet the Warsong Shaman.” A handsome man in his thirties with long black hair shouted loudly at Tie Zha.
“Black Martial Saint of the Azure Wolf Legion, lead the 50 Colossus Guards to meet the Warsong Shaman.” A tall, burly, brown-haired old man in his sixties shouted at Tie Zha.
“Azure Wolf Legion, meet War Song Shaman!” In an instant, numerous figures half-knelt down and shouted in unison.
Tie Zha put down the harmonica and nodded at them. Afterwards, everyone stood up, opened the sealed box in the corner, took out clothes and weapons, and quickly put on a full set of clothes.
A few minutes later, Tie Zha walked out of the cave with the group that had woken up from their slumber.
“Warsong Shaman, what year is it now?” Hong Wu Sheng asked.
Tie Zha looked at his wristwatch and announced today’s date. It was Dr. 3715, February 23, 2005. The Red Martial Saint pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, “Warsong Shaman, we must return to the end of the world, retrieve the armor, and wait for your summons there.”
“How should I inform you in the future?” Tie Zha asked. There were no satellite communications signals at the end of the world, and no aircraft could be used. It was very difficult to make a trip.
“All you need to do is inform the Icelandic Guardians that the members of the Xiluo Clan will come looking for us.” The Red Martial Saint said.
“Robin Silo is one of us?” Tie Zha asked doubtfully.
“The Xiluo Clan is the holder of one of the Three Glorious Divine Artifacts, Deep-sea Attachment. Afterglow Lorenfeld ordered them to stay in Iceland and take care of our Ice Shattering Warship for generations.” The Red Martial Saint replied. Then, he unsheathed his long sword from his waist and handed it over with both hands. “Warsong Shaman, this is also one of our three divine artifacts. It is called ‘Wailing of the Earth’. If you are a psionic, please accept it.”
Tie Zha took the sword and pulled it out. Instantly, a cold light shot out. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped by quite a bit.
“Good sword. Unfortunately, I’m not a psionic.” After saying that, he pushed his sword back to its sheath and returned it to the Red Martial Saint. Then, he asked, “How did you leave this place?” His remaining supplies were only enough for his return journey. There were more than 450 people here, so he really had no choice.
“Warsong Shaman, you don’t have to worry about us” As the Red Martial Saint spoke, he turned around and made a gesture to the crowd.
“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”
Within a few seconds, everyone spread out their bug-like wings, flapped their wings, and flew in all directions.
“We will gather some food here, fly to Cape Harbor and take a boat from there.” The Red Martial Saint smiled and said, “It’s you. How do you plan to leave?”
“Go back as you please.” Said Tie Zha.
“Warsong Shaman, this journey is not safe. Let the Black Martial Saint send you back. He can tell you something about the past along the way.” The Red Martial Saint said.
Tie Zha thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Following that, with the help of the Black Martial Saint, he quickly returned to the place where the materials were buried. After taking out the supplies and building a simple sleigh, the two of them continued on their journey. A few days later, the two of them met up with Zhao Wenke, grabbed the remaining supplies, and continued heading north.
Finally, after half a year’s journey to Dr3715-7-10, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke finally brought their team back to the Qin Village. After resting for a day, Black Martial Saint bid farewell to Tie Zha and rushed to Luoyan Town to meet up with Red Martial Saint and the others.
A few days later, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke returned to the Ancient Temple and met up with Hagrid, Queen, Tie Ling, Lilith, and the Black Pig King who had rushed here three months ago. Just as everyone was about to head to the central continent to display their skills, a shocking piece of news came from the crowd.
That day, the front page of all the newspapers in Silver City World had the same paragraph written on it.
“The Third Army of the Temple Expeditionary Force, issued by the Temple Princess and approved by the World Parliament, will proceed to the southern cemetery starting from Dr3715-8-30 to carry out a thorough cleansing of all insecticized mutants south of the Sewage River; the target is 100,000 units per day; unless the thief, Tie Zha Norse, surrenders to the nearest Temple establishment with a lightning hammer.”
Evidently, after more than a year, Yoga Lombar had lost all patience.
It had to be said that this move of hers was extremely sinister. If Tie Zha refused to surrender, he would be accused of ignoring the lives of the insecticides and lose his prestige. If he was willing to surrender, he would die. In any case, no matter what Tie Zha did, she was the final winner.
