Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 137 Cunning Rabbit 3 Cave

Wu Na rushed over immediately, but she couldn't find Meng Xianyu, and Monk was not among the crowd.

Cong Heng and his companions looked extremely miserable. They had lost a lot of weight, and their clothes were in disarray. If one didn't know them well, one would have thought they were refugees from somewhere.

No one knows what they have been through, not even they themselves have doubts.

No one asked them what had happened. When the two groups finally met, they didn't know where to start.

When Wu Na arrived, some people had already stepped forward to support the injured.

Linlang arrived earlier and had already given the orders.

Linlang sent some people to inform the people searching in the mountains and asked them to return to the villa and wait for orders. Finally, those people didn't have to wander around like headless flies.

There were few people on these two days, and the search and rescue process was not so smooth, and some people were even injured.

Originally, they went to search the mountain in groups of five, but now they have spontaneously divided into groups of more than ten people.

Except for those who were guarding important positions in the villa and could not leave, everyone else whose injuries were not so serious joined the mountain search team.

For their safety, Linlang specially drew a search and rescue map for them. No one was allowed to enter any dangerous place marked by Linlang.

Fortunately, everyone in the villa knew the dangers in the mountains, and they all listened to Linlang. After all, they had seen it before. If they wanted to survive, they had to obey her.

If those who have never seen what a killing formation or a soul-devouring formation is, they probably won't be able to follow the instructions so easily.

There are not only killing arrays, trapping arrays, soul-devouring arrays and other array areas in the deep mountains, but also countless death areas. Once a person sets foot in, there is no possibility of survival. For example, Shadowless Cliff, Blood Soul Marsh, Ten Thousand Stone Valley, Silent Ridge, Hundred Beasts Forest, etc.

In comparison, the fierce beasts, demon beasts, and spirit beasts in the mountains that have been practicing for many years are better. They prefer to hide in their own territory to practice. Only those small demons and beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence will run out to attack humans.

The little demon beasts without intelligence are just like ordinary beasts. Once they encounter a master cultivator or a hunter, they will become food for humans. They are not even qualified to be human spiritual pets. They can only satisfy people's appetite. The worst are the little demon beasts whose fur is plucked and sold after they die.

Those little monsters that have just gained intelligence and have low abilities are too busy hiding from humans. They would rather kill each other than confront humans head-on.

There are many unintelligent beasts in the deep mountains. People without some skills dare not go into the mountains. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out.

There are still some ancient tribes living in the deep mountains, and those tribes do not allow outsiders to break in. If you enter the forbidden areas of those tribes, you may be turned into ashes directly.

However, those tribes still respect the priests of the Manta Tribe. Maybe they can give them some face. If you can reveal your identity in time, you may be able to save your life, but you will not be able to escape the punishment.

The Manta Tribe was a very famous tribe a long time ago. They lived in a place close to mountains and rivers and made a living in the sea.

On Shuangling Island, there are many tribes like them, with their backs against the mountains and their faces facing the sea. They are all true warriors. They are not afraid of the turbulence of the sea and dare to face the majesty of the mountains.

There are many mysterious tribes in the deep mountains. The smallest tribe has only a few families, with only more than 30 people in the tribe. The largest tribe has less than 100 people. They live in very secluded places. After all, Shuangling Island is mostly mountainous, with sweet spring water and abundant food. Even if they don't leave the mountains, they can be self-sufficient. Such tribes always give people a sense of mystery, which makes people curious and fearful.

Most of the small tribes living in seclusion in the mountains have extremely strict clan rules. The older generation is conservative, but the young people always have an uneasy and restless heart.

Many young people have a dream of being a knight who travels the world. Some people will sneak out without paying attention to the tribe rules. However, these young people are inexperienced and often suffer losses. Some of them are able to return alive, while others never return. It is unknown what happened to those who never returned to the tribe. Those who returned later became conservative and even worse, and once again prevented the young people from leaving the tribe.

However, those who returned also brought changes to the tribe. They not only suffered losses in the outside world, but also learned some new skills. Some people are willing to share what happened outside, while others keep silent and keep those past events forever sealed in their memories.

Even those tribes that had been isolated from the outside world for many years still had legends about the outside world. They had heard a little about the Wenyu Tribe on Shuangling Island, the ancient sacrificial lineage of the Wenyu Tribe, and the Shengshan Sect that had risen in recent years.

Especially in recent years, the temple has developed rapidly, and many people from other tribes have come here to visit.

Some of them originally wanted to enter Shuitian College. However, Shuitian College had high requirements. They failed to enter Shuitian College and accidentally entered the Holy Mountain.

On the Holy Mountain, these disciples can also obtain abundant resources. The abilities of the temple elders are not much worse than those of the deacons and elders of Shuitian Academy.

The saint never lacks men to command her, and she would not feel sorry even if she killed some useless people who disobeyed her orders.

On Shuangling Island, some people envy the brave men of the Manta Tribe who dare to make a living in the sea.

However, there are also some tribes that extremely hate the Manta Tribe and even think they are monsters.

The people of the Manta Tribe have fish scales on their bodies, and many of them have gone crazy and turned into irrational beasts. This fact cannot be concealed. After all, paper cannot cover up fire. It is not easy to cover up the facts. Unless the Manta Tribe completely cuts off contact with the outside world.

But it is difficult to escape from the world. The Manta Tribe does not need much food, but they cannot just eat game from the mountains and fish from the sea. They also need to buy other food and daily necessities. Clothes, shoes and socks are not their forte, so these force them to communicate with the outside world.

Besides, the Manta Tribe caught so many live fish and seafood that they couldn’t eat them all.

There are many hunters among them, and sometimes they can even kill huge wild boars, tigers and other ferocious animals. It would be a pity to eat these things, especially the hides and bones, which can definitely be sold at a good price. They have no use for keeping them, and the money they get from selling them is enough for them to live for several years.

If they are lucky enough to get a beast pill, they will not sell it. Beast pills are a great tonic for practitioners.

As the Manta tribe came into more contact with the outside world, it was inevitable that someone would discover their secrets. Because of this increased contact, some girls like Liya in the Manta tribe became more and more concerned about their appearance, which gradually planted the seeds of trouble in their hearts.

Some tribes believed that the Wenyue Tribe was cursed. Some tribes did not even reject people from outside Shuangling Island, but only rejected people from the Wenyue Tribe.

The Manta Tribe was not the largest tribe on Shuangling Island, but it was very famous. Both the sacred mountain and the sacrificial lineage were renowned.

The sacrificial lineage of the Wenyu tribe can be said to be the most traditional sacrificial clan on Shuangling Island. Even though they no longer have the glory they once had, they are still respected by every tribe.

With great fame comes great responsibility.

Monk has been under a lot of pressure these years. But even if he is under a lot of pressure, he will not choose to falsify and publicize like the Temple did.

Compared to recruiting some ordinary disciples in a high-profile manner, Monk prefers to have fewer than enough disciples. Strengthening the priest lineage sounds good, but it may not be a good thing for them. The priest lineage has always been mysterious. Many years ago, the selection of the high priest was as noisy as the selection of the saint.

There was a time when those who were qualified to participate in the election were called the Sons of God. During the most glorious era of the priesthood, eight Sons of God killed each other. As a result, there were huge casualties, and the priesthood was severely damaged, with no one to succeed it.

At that time, all the qualified candidates fled. Finally, several great elders at that time jointly nominated a child. The child was only five years old at that time, and several great elders jointly assisted the child to lead the Wenyu tribe.

At that time, the Saint was just a minor character who was not worthy of being on the stage and was completely controlled by the Supreme Elder. Even the child who was promoted to be the High Priest had no real power.

But the child was very talented, and the child's grandfather was once a high priest. It was not until the child turned 18 that the Supreme Elder completely gave up his power. The high priest was not in office for long, only a short 30 years. He later died due to the backlash of his cultivation. It was not until the high priest died that the world knew that she was a woman.

The elders knew the truth, but they couldn't think of any other solution. It was too difficult for an orphan to survive. And that person was indeed talented. During her 30 years in office, the Wenyu tribe had a very stable life. It can be said that there were no disasters and the weather was good.

After the death of the priestess, a fire from heaven fell and completely burned the place where the previous high priests lived. From then on, the priests no longer lived with the tribe. And women could also participate in the election of the Son of God to become high priests. However, it was very rare for people to become priestesses.

Today's Henglan Villa is one of the strongholds of the sacrificial lineage, which was built by Monk himself. In addition, Monk has two other locations.

Only a cunning rabbit has three burrows to ensure that the sacrificial lineage will have successors.

The priest lineage is not just the children Monk picked up. There are also some people who are born with the gifted bloodline of priesthood.

Many of them were descendants of the previous high priests, and in order to protect them, they were not left here.
