Chapter 677: Great Wilderness Great Mountain
Just now those primitive people hadn't done much, yet now they were actually thinking of attacking her again.
Zhan Mengqi, filled with anger, charged at them, but the combat strength of those few primitives was even more terrifying.
Zhan Mengqi's combat strength was quite good, but she was still no match for those primitives, and before long, she was beaten to the ground by them.
Ye Ling was entangled by two primitives at the same time, the strength of these two was impressive, and he simply couldn't resist them; he took several hits on his body.
Just when Ye Ling was preparing to fight to the death, several figures suddenly appeared beside him like apparitions, grabbing their clothes, they started dragging Ye Ling and Zhan Mengqi outside, "Don't resist, we are here to save you!"
Ye Ling and Zhan Mengqi were both astonished, and as they looked at the people before them, Ye Ling was secretly shaken.
All of these people turned out to be mid-tier masters of the realm of the Saints!
The group moved swiftly, dodging the onslaught of the attacking primitives, who, finding themselves attacking thin air, began to shout incomprehensibly, but did not pursue.
Once Ye Ling and the others reached a safe area, Ye Ling stared straight at those who had come, "Who are you?"
The newcomers revealed a smile, "Don't be nervous, we've come to rescue you—your friend was also taken by us."
"Very sorry, this happened quite abruptly, but rest assured, we will definitely not harm you."
Hearing this, Ye Ling and Zhan Mengqi felt somewhat relieved, after all, these people did not seem like primitives.
Seeming to have read Ye Ling's mind, the newcomers spoke up, "We come from the clans of the Bahuang Great Mountain. Your friend is in our clan, and we were ordered by our Clan Leader to find you and ask for your help!"
Bahuang Great Mountain?
Ye Ling was stunned when he heard the name, then he asked with puzzlement, "Your clan—is it located on Bahuang Great Mountain within Spirit Demon Island?"
The few people, upon hearing Ye Ling's words, all were startled, "Yes, that's right, it's on Spirit Demon Island."
Ye Ling's heart stirred with doubts; he hadn't heard of Bahuang Great Mountain before.
However, since they had come to seek his help, it probably wasn't a bad thing, but he was unsure of their actual target!
Relieved, Ye Ling and Zhan Mengqi exchanged glances, then spoke up, "Then we'll trouble you to lead the way; I want to ensure the safety of my friends!"
The newcomers nodded and then said, "Follow us!"
Shortly after that, the group led Ye Ling and Zhan Mengqi towards the depths of the valley.
The group quickly passed through the woods and the jungle, then started climbing up one mountain peak after another.
At this moment, Ye Ling truly understood what it meant for mountain ranges to stretch unbroken, what towering mountains really were, and the mountain range before him was just such a vast one.
The mountains here undulated endlessly, with no end in sight. Within these ranges, however, there were numerous buildings.
At the top of these buildings stood a huge stele, upon which were written the characters "Bahuang Great Mountain."
Bahuang Great Mountain!
The name was strange, but from the sound of the name, it seemed that this place had existed here for a very long time.
Soon, a few people reached the summit of a mountain, and on this summit, there lay a small village amidst rising cooking smoke, creating a lively atmosphere.
"This is the place." The group stopped at the foothills of the mountain summit, and one middle-aged man began to speak.
Ye Ling nodded and jumped down from the top of the mountain, heading straight towards the village. However, at this moment, an elder suddenly blocked his path.
"Stop right there!"
"What are you trying to do!" Ye Ling's expression changed as he coldly glared at the elder blocking his way and rebuked him.
The elder, with his white hair and a large pipe clenched in his teeth, appeared unkempt, but his eyes gleamed with a keen light.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, everyone; he's not a bad person. He is our clan's second elder; they are here specifically to assist you all," said the leader of the indigenous people with a light smile.
Unmoved, Ye Ling simply stated, "Where are my friends? I want to see them now!"
"They're over here, follow me." The indigenous leader pointed to a courtyard not far away and led the way inside.
Furrowing his brows, Ye Ling took a glance at the surrounding environment and ultimately decided not to insist further, instead following them inside; he needed to figure out exactly what was going on.
The courtyard of this house was not large, and inside, Gao Quan and others lay quietly. Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and hurried over to check on them, to see if they had any injuries.
Fortunately, Gao Quan and the others were merely unconscious and not in any danger. Ye Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that they had encountered an attack from the people within the Bahuang Great Mountain clan, but thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
These people didn't bear any ill will. It's just that Ye Ling didn't know what they wanted to do.
"I'm not sure why you have taken my friends. Please enlighten me," Ye Ling asked, looking at the group. Since they had specifically come for them, there must be a reason.
The elder slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes sparkling, and said slowly, "It's very simple, because of you."
"Because of me?"
Ye Ling was taken aback and somewhat confused, "Have I done something to offend you?"
"No, you have not provoked us. But the reason we came is because you possess the Saint Dragon Body," the elder spoke slowly.
After hearing the elder's words, Ye Ling was completely stunned; he had no idea why these people recognized him, and moreover, they claimed he had the Saint Dragon Body.
"What do you mean by Saint Dragon Body?" Ye Ling asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The Saint Dragon Body is a very peculiar physique. It can absorb various energies from the heavens and the earth. If I am not mistaken..."
"You must have cultivated by absorbing various energies from the heavens and the earth and transforming them into Spiritual Energy, right?" the elder asked slowly.
Ye Ling nodded, "Indeed, that's how I cultivate!"
"Exactly, the Saint Dragon Body cultivates by absorbing the energies of the heavens and the earth. Our Bahuang Great Mountain's duty is to guard the treasure left by the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor!"
"Here in Bahuang Great Mountain, we are the guardians of the treasures left by the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor. Only a person with the Saint Dragon Body who passes our trials can unlock the treasures."
"And you, when you first arrived on Spirit Demon Island, we already knew your location!"
What do you think?
