Chapter 1257: Stepping on the Space Node

“Jackal” Kanus’ expression changed drastically. “I wouldn’t dare. How could I…” he said with a bitter face

“Then you’re too boring!”

The Tiger King’s face darkened. He pushed the Wolf King with great force, causing the latter to stagger. “Lead the way. Which way should we go next?”

“Good, good. This way, follow this vine that is full of stripes and looks like a silver-ringed snake. I remember this vine.”

“Jackal” Kanus led the way, while the tigers and wolves dug into the jagged mountain rocks and tried their best to climb the slowly rotating floating mountain range.

The surrounding mountains became steeper and steeper, and the footholds became smaller and smaller. They were about to climb to the peak of the mountains that were surrounded by clouds. In front of them was a cliff that protruded out of the void. There was no other way except for the three-sided abyss.

“Because the space in the depths of the sacred mountain is constantly changing. Here, the concept of a road of life and a road of death is completely different from the outside world.”

“Jackal,”kanus hurriedly explained as he sensed the tiger king behind him gradually becoming more and more murderous, “Therefore, we should not be confused by the scenery in front of us. We should not look for a path that can be seen with the naked eye. Such a path will often be interrupted by the change of space before we even walk halfway.

“What we are looking for are nodes that are similar to teleportation arrays.

“In the depths of the sacred mountain, there are hundreds of similar nodes.

“When the space changes, these nodes will match one by one. The spatial gaps between the nodes can instantly teleport us to the next correct path.

“This cliff is one of the nodes. Even with the map drawn by the Army of Holy Light, we have sacrificed dozens of explorers to find the precise location of the nodes.”

As he said this, “Jackal”kanus carefully sniffed.

He seemed to have smelled the scent of his urine and spices mixed together. He walked towards a rock that was entangled by vines on the edge of the cliff.

He tore off a few vines and pushed open a crack on the rock. He extended his entire arm into it and carefully searched for a moment. He pulled out a bunch of dried wolf fur.

This was the mark he left behind when he went deep into the sacred mountain to explore.

The wolf king heaved a sigh of relief.

The Tiger King snorted and temporarily withdrew his intense killing intent.

They rested here for half an hour and consumed secret medicines to eliminate the fatigue from the pursuit and exploration while maintaining their best combat condition.

They once again carried out a targeted plan against the lion king’s “Horn of destruction”personnel configuration and perfected seven to eight sets of ambush and pursuit tactics.

At this time, the fog in the surroundings gradually thickened.

It was like after a rainstorm, the rapidly rising river instantly submerged the cliff where the Tigers and wolves were at, causing them to bend their backs and lower their heads, unable to see their own feet clearly.

This time, without waiting for the Tiger King to urge them, the Tigers and wolves hugged tightly together, resisting the flying sand and rocks in the surroundings, the earth shaking and mountains shaking, and the roars that seemed to tear the space apart.

When the thunder-like roar gradually weakened and the space stabilized again.

The Tigers and wolves were shocked to find that they had once again been transported to a completely unfamiliar environment.

Just a moment ago, they were still at the edge of the cliff that tore the clouds apart.

Now, they had returned to the thick and solid land.

The floating mountain range above their heads was like a rock embedded in the sky, giving people a feeling of being out of reach.

It was really hard to imagine that just a moment ago, they were still on a cliff in a certain floating mountain range.

Looking at the shapes and directions above them, which were completely different from the floating mountains just now, even a peerless fierce person like the violent blade couldn’t help but secretly break out in cold sweat.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, they had a guide.

They were familiar with the mysteries in the depths of the sacred mountain.

If they did not understand the reason behind the ever-changing space in the depths of the sacred mountain, they would only focus on the path of survival that could be observed with the naked eye — for example, they would try to climb over the vine suspension bridge that was entangled between the two floating mountains, if they climbed over.

They would probably encounter a drastic change in space halfway through.

It was not that the distance between the two floating mountains was suddenly pulled apart, the vine suspension bridge broke, and the climber fell into a bottomless abyss; it was that the two floating mountains suddenly approached, violently colliding with each other, or even merging into one, naturally, the climber would be squeezed between the rocks, and his end would be even more tragic than the Mosquito in the amber.

Tiger King opened his mouth.

He had wanted to sigh. “The wisdom of the ancestral spirit is truly unfathomable. It can actually use ‘space’as a city wall and a weapon to create such an ever-changing appearance!”

But on second thought, even if the Tulan ancestral spirit had built the sacred mountain temple in such an incredible place, it had almost been found and broken through by the Holy Light Army.

Even their unfilial descendants had to rely on the map drawn by the Sacred Light Army to restart the Sacred Mountain Temple.

Even if the Tiger King was the most typical Beastman who treated his fists as the truth and battle as the only solution.

The scene in front of him still made him faintly feel that the Tulan Beastman had lost a lot of things in the past ten thousand years.

They had lost a lot of power that was a hundred times stronger than his iron fists and battle sabers.

“Let’s Go!”

A sense of powerlessness and fatigue suddenly surged out of the Tiger King’s body.

He waved his claws fiercely, trying to tear apart these truths that he could not understand.

The Wolf King sensed the tiger king’s violent emotions. It was like the Thunderclouds on a summer afternoon, becoming denser and denser at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He did not dare to speak. He walked at the front of the team with a few of his wolf warriors. They climbed and jumped between the rocks, trees, and streams. They sniffed carefully and searched for the secret marks they left behind with great effort, they also found traces left behind by the exploration team of the Lion King’s Horn of destruction.

When they arrived at the bottom of an ancient tree that was as thick as a dozen people’s embrace and had branches that blotted out the sky and covered the Sun, kanus the Jackal stayed for an exceptionally long time.

Then he raised his arm and gestured to the Tiger King, who was hiding in the grass behind him.

“Swish!”

“Violent blade”and the fierce tiger warriors immediately tensed up and summoned their totem armors, turning themselves into metal statues that moved freely in battle formation from all directions, sneak up on the old tree.

Soon, they knew the reason why the Wolf King was so nervous.

It was a corpse.

A corpse that had just been buried under the ancient tree. It was buried in a hurry and the soil was still very soft and fresh.

But this corpse did not look good.

When he was still alive, he should have been a fierce lion warrior with golden hair.

Judging from his left arm and left leg, which were as thick as buckets, he was as strong as a leather bag filled with stones.

On his skin, the dense and gorgeous tattoos were also silently telling of his glorious achievements. As a symbol of glory, tattoos were not just any random cat or dog in tulanze, they were all qualified to be engraved.

There was a set of rules for the location of the tattoo, the pattern of the tattoo, and the paint used. If one stabbed randomly, he or she might get into trouble at any time, or even kill someone.

“It’s him?”

Behind the violent blade, a fierce tiger warrior strode forward and knelt down on one knee. He carefully examined the tattoo on the left arm of the corpse. His eyes instantly turned red, and his expression was weird and absent-minded. He was stunned for a while, then, he turned around and said to the tiger king, “This is shattered steel tooth, the youngest son of the Horn of Destruction!”

“Is that so?”

The Tiger King grinned. “His head has been squashed. How Do You Know?”

“I know this tattoo.”

The Fierce Tiger Warrior pointed at a tiger head tattoo that was pierced by a lion’s tooth near the left shoulder of the corpse and said with a gloomy expression, “This is the ‘badge’that shattered steel tooth left behind after killing my brother in the Iron Slag Arena half a year ago!”

The Tiger King immediately understood.

The Tulan people did indeed have such a tradition.

After a splendid and unrestrained battle, after killing a strong enemy, they would make a tattoo of the strong enemy’s appearance and engrave it on their own body. In this battle, the parts that suffered the most serious injuries.

This was not an insult.

Instead, it was to express the highest respect to the powerful enemy, to show that the heroic spirit of the powerful enemy would be with him and continue to fight happily.

The appearance of the powerful enemy and the part of his body that was injured were unique.

It was naturally difficult to repeat such a tattoo. The relevant personnel could tell at a glance.

Even though the other party was the murderer who killed his own brother.

This fierce tiger warrior didn’t have any interest in slaughtering the corpse.

This was because the corpse of the Lion King’s son had already been ravaged enough.

Although the left half of his body was mostly intact.

However, his head and the entire right half of his body had been compressed by an incredible force into a meat patty that was less than the thickness of a finger.

The strange thing was that because the compression force was very uniform, his corpse could still maintain a blurry human figure.

However, this human form had been magnified several times. It was like a mandala fruit puree that had been put into a mold after being boiled.

The blade of Fury had seen and caused countless tragic injuries.

It was hard to imagine what kind of method would be used to turn an enraged lion warrior who had decent combat strength into such a state.

Perhaps, it would require an iron plate with a surface as smooth as a mirror, but its weight was equivalent to the stomp of hundreds of brute elephant warriors. No, it was an iron lump. Two such huge iron lumps would have to be squeezed into the middle.

“It’s space.”

“Jackal”kanus carefully observed the corpse and explained, “After the Lion King’s team arrived nearby, something went wrong. Perhaps they didn’t step on the rhythm of the change in space, or perhaps their formation of hugging each other wasn’t tight enough. In short, the ‘Broken Steel Tooth’was flung out and fell into a spatial crack.

“Then, someone reacted quickly and grabbed his left foot, trying to pull him back. Look, there was a complete bruise on his left ankle. Even the inside of his ankle was cracked. It was clear that this person really wanted to save him.

“Unfortunately, this person was still half a step too late. The right half of ‘steel tooth”s body had been squeezed into a meat patty. Even the totem warframe and the Witch Doctor’s Secret Medicine couldn’t save him.

“And because he was the son of the Horn of destruction, the exploration team had been delayed here for a long time in order to save him until he was completely dead.. They even wasted time digging a grave for him
