Chapter 1068: Not a Mountain, But a Tower
After a pleasant negotiation with Qian Huan, Lin Yu and he set out from the underground passage and embarked on a journey to the sacred land of the raccoon tribe.
Although the raccoon monsters were a little wary of Lin Yu at first, they soon accepted Lin Yu and began to slowly approach him.
Lin Yu and Qian Huan also started talking about more serious topics.
"Although I was joking when I said I was joining the human race, but... there is indeed a witch named Chun Cang in the human race. Before I came down, I eavesdropped in the village and heard their name."
"That guy was dressed very conspicuously, like a peacock with its tail spread out, and he even mentioned something about a young leader... Do you have any idea?"
Although I learned a lot about the customs and culture of the Black Swamp Realm from Shen Bingmiao, Shen Bingmiao's information has always lacked more immediate and timely "intelligence" - for example, who is the current leader of a specific force, Shen Bingmiao often does not write it in.
This may also be the reason why she can only move in the real world, can only indirectly collect second-hand information about the Ten Realms, and cannot personally "monitor" them.
Although Qian Huan was not very familiar with the Black Swamp Realm, he had obviously talked a lot with Lao Zhou - and Lao Zhou was obviously not a guy who would be stingy with his information.
"Chun Cang...this name sounds familiar. Let me think about it."
Qian Huan was thinking underground and soon remembered.
"Oh—I remember now. This guy is a senior shaman from the Li tribe. He's very powerful. He was taught by Lu Gu, the great shaman from the Ying tribe, and is a direct disciple of the great shaman."
"Since he mentioned the young leader...then these guys should be from the Li tribe. Among the sixty-six tribes, the Li tribe's army is considered very powerful. It seems that this matter is most likely led by the Lugu lineage."
"This Lu Gu is the most active of Xia Jin's three great wizards. He's also a hardline expansionist, hoping to spark an all-out war in the Black Swamp. His wizardry is quite advanced, and he has many disciples and friends. He's practically one of the most powerful men in Xia Jin right now."
Lin Yu listened to Qian Huan's analysis and introduction, and felt that the name of the great wizard Lu Gu sounded familiar.
Then he reacted.
"This Lugu seems to be Seagull's master..."
Because the first time he heard the other party's name was as Seagull's master, Lin Yu didn't make any connection with it for a while.
After all, looking at Seagull's cowardly look, it is hard to imagine that his master is a super iron-blooded warmonger.
However, after recalling it, Lin Yu also gave Qian Huan some additional information.
"That Lugu should be more proficient in totemic witchcraft such as 'beast transformation' and 'wildness'," Lin Yu said, recalling the "ancestral witchcraft" performed by the seagull, and raised some doubts, "Can this power system give birth to 'space'-type abilities?"
Lin Yu questioned, and Qian Huan shook his head. "I don't know, but the witchcraft of the Black Swamp Realm is a system of abilities with the most obscure principles... Although these wizards are happy to teach others, they themselves can't clearly explain the principles of these things. They are basically still at the pragmatic stage of 'it works, so it's fine.'"
"However, sending troops to the heart of Sanqiu Nation would inevitably involve many people. Lugu himself has many allies and supporters among his disciples," Qianhuan pondered. "Perhaps one of them could develop spatial abilities."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu also thought about the possibility in this regard, and tried to recall from Shen Bingmiao's information where he could start if he wanted to develop a super-large technology that could "teleport" the army as a unit in the Black Swamp Realm.
While the two were thinking, a light appeared in front of the tunnel.
"We've reached the exit. After we go out and walk along a small path for a while, we'll find the main road to the raccoon tribe's sacred land," Qian Huan said happily. "When the time comes, no matter whether it's Chun Cang or Qiu Hong who comes, there will naturally be helpers from the demon tribe and the spirit tribe to help us deal with them."
Lin Yu nodded slightly: "That's great... How far is it from here to the sacred place of the raccoon tribe?"
Qian Huan looked at the few women in the raccoon tribe. They had been listening to the conversation between the two people with their ears perked up, but these raccoon tribe members seemed to be very courageous and did not dare to interrupt.
Seeing Qian Huan looking at her inquiringly, the oldest raccoon woman finally spoke.
"My two friends, from this tunnel, it only takes about half a day's walk to our clan's holy land."
"Because this tunnel was built by the Ya tribe at the request of the chief, and it passes under 'Small Fengze', it's actually faster than taking the normal road."
The raccoon woman spoke, and Qian Huan nodded.
"Then let's hurry up and try to arrive before dark!"
As they spoke, the group walked out of the tunnel and saw the sunlight again.
When you get here, the view is much wider - because there is no billowing black smoke produced by the burning, the visibility is naturally improved.
The exit of this tunnel is also very hidden, located under the cover of messy reeds next to an open water area. If you don't look carefully, you will just think it is mud and sand accumulated by the water.
"My two friends, our holy land is heading that way!"
The raccoon woman pointed in the direction away from the water. There was an open road leading into the distance, and at the end of the road, a solitary peak stood faintly.
"It's really rare that a mountain can be seen in the Black Swamp."
Qian Huan muttered.
The raccoon woman looked at the scene with some surprise: "Mountain...?"
After hearing the slightly doubtful words of the raccoon woman, Qian Huan had not yet reacted when Lin Yu suddenly figured something out.
He raised his index finger and placed it firmly on the upper edge of the "isolated peak", his entire hand motionless as if welded.
Soon, Lin Yu took out the [Activity Map] with his other hand, glanced at it, looked at the raccoon woman, and spoke seriously.
"Are you sure that's the road leading to your clan's holy land?"
Lin Yu asked, and the raccoon woman nodded slowly.
"It can't be wrong."
Lin Yu exhaled, put down his fingers, and looked at Qian Huan.
"This is a big problem. That's not a mountain, it's a tower - and it's a moving tower on wheels."
"what?"
Qian Huan was a little confused.
"Those women and children should have hidden in the tunnel long ago, right?" Lin Yu sighed. "So you didn't see it... Although I didn't see it either, I saw its wheel marks. At first I thought they were left by two huge rocks being dragged together. I said that the deep marks were more like being 'pressed' by a steamroller than being dragged."
"When the Chun Cang Wuzhu was talking to the Xia Jin soldiers, he mentioned that the young master had imprisoned all the demons in a 'tower'... Now it seems that's not a code name, nor does it refer to a small tower like the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King."
"They actually brought a tower over here."
"Also, the next destination is likely to be the same as ours—the sacred place of the raccoon tribe."
Lin Yu said in a low voice, and Qian Huan's face changed slightly after hearing it.
"Then let's..."
"We have to hurry up."
Lin Yu added.
