Chapter 369: The Array Caster and the Emperor
Chapter 369: The Array Caster and the Emperor
Looking at the chains on the mountain god, Xiao was a little confused.
Didn’t he run outside the mountain to confront Xuanzu? Why is he still tied up with chains?
Did he put it on himself after he came back from his work?
Never mind, he has no business interfering in other people's affairs, as long as the mountain god is happy.
Xiao flashed in front of the mountain god and saw that the other party still did not react, so he grabbed a chain and studied it, wanting to see how it differed from the chain he had swallowed.
With just one touch, Xiao discovered the biggest difference.
This cannot be eaten.
In addition, the surface of the chain is not smooth, but has many dents, which seem to be artificially carved, probably some kind of characters. However, Xiao did not feel any power from it.
After years of wear and tear, they have become ineffective.
Suddenly, a low and dull voice sounded in the silent and dark space.
"do not move."
"?!"
Xiao was frightened and subconsciously clenched his palms.
A second later, he took a deep breath, turned his head in the direction of the sound, and found that flames were lit in the mountain god's eyes.
The mountain god woke up.
And at this moment, the voice sounded again: "Put it down."
This time, Xiao understood what the mountain god meant and released his grip on the chains.
Some scattered parts and fragments fell from Xiao's palm, causing a "ding-ling-dang" sound to echo in the space.
The chain broke into two pieces, one fell back to the ground, and the other hung on the mountain god.
A strange and awkward atmosphere slowly spread in the air.
Xiao: No, why is this chain so fragile?!
"That's all."
After a while, the mountain god let out a breath, blowing away some of the embarrassment.
He adjusted his posture, his movements were very slow, even cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing something by moving too much.
or……
Xiao looked at the other chains that were shaking violently and making ping-pong sounds due to the mountain god's actions.
The mountain god was actually worried that any big movement would break the chains.
I feel even more embarrassed when I think about the chain I accidentally broke just now!
At this moment, the mountain god was like a dog tied with a leash, unable to run around, and the other end of the leash was tied to air.
Xiao felt that he was the cause of this awkward atmosphere, and that he should contribute to restoring the atmosphere to normal, so he asked, "What are you doing?"
The mountain god shifted his body as he spoke, "He has placed shackles on my body and soul. Since he doesn't want me to leave, I will stay here and maintain the status quo."
"he?"
Xiao had a vague guess in his mind.
"My Lord, the one who forged this place."
"Oh."
Sure enough it was him.
Well, it seems I was overthinking that door.
But Xiao always felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something.
He followed the mountain god's words and said, "You have a good relationship."
"Yes, he is my benefactor." The mountain god finally moved to a good position. The clanging of chains and the friction of his scales gradually stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.
"I was born without scales and was considered a monster by my tribe. After being expelled from the tribe, he took me in and gave me what I needed."
Listening to the description of the mountain god, Xiao remembered the first mural he saw when he crossed the maze not long ago. That should be the scene of the mountain god being expelled by his tribe.
It seems that the final answer is consistent with his original guess.
He also recalled the strangeness of the little dragons in the murals. The little dragon in the first mural was very clean, but the little dragon in the second mural had many scratches on its body. Now thinking about it, those scratches should be dragon scales.
this story...
What kind of alternate world version of How to Train Your Dragon?
"What if we have to leave?" Xiao asked curiously.
"At my level, even without the help of my original body, I can create a temporary new body to move around."
"Oh."
"You are still far from my level. You need to work harder."
?
Why did you suddenly bring the topic to me?
Xiao followed the mountain god's words and asked, "So, what level am I at now?"
The mountain god pondered for a moment and replied, "It's still some distance away from being immortal. It's just difficult to kill it right now."
Regarding the difficulty of killing, Xiao said he has a deep understanding of this.
Suddenly, the Green Mandrill's voice sounded in his mind: "No."
Xiao thought that Green Xiao had noticed that the Mountain God had lied or said something wrong, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Green Mandrill replied, "The mountain god's benefactor did not want to imprison him. Someone else wanted to imprison him."
"Uh-huh??"
After hearing Green Xiao's answer, Xiao realized that he had misunderstood.
Obviously, what Green Mandrill discovered was more interesting than the mountain god's lies.
Xiao sighed: "There are still experts?"
"Well, there is another person in this story, the emperor who bestowed the dragon vein."
These words awakened Xiao. His first impression of the mountain god was the dragon vein mentioned by Ye Lingchuan. For a period of time afterwards, he regarded the mountain god as the manifestation of the dragon vein.
It was not until he actually met the mountain god that he realized that the other party was the real Yinglong, who was resurrected because of the great formation in the mountain. The master of the mountain god and the creator of the great formation naturally replaced the position of the emperor in the story.
Green Xiao had seen Old Li, who was possessed by the caster of the formation, and had had contact with him, so he had some understanding of him. Now he was in the position of a bystander. As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. It was easier for him to figure out the problems that Xiao had overlooked.
"So, the master of the mountain god collaborated with a certain emperor to create this place?"
"That's how it should be."
"So, it wasn't his master who wanted to trap the Mountain God, but the Emperor?"
"Ah."
Red Mandrill:?
Red Mandrill: What are they talking about?
But Hong Xiao did not express his doubts, but began to read minds silently.
Soon, he also caught up with the idea.
After being reminded by Green Xiao, Xiao instantly understood everything.
The creator of the formation wanted to revive the mountain god, but he did not have enough chips, so he wanted to use the incense from the human world to achieve this goal.
The emperor did not want the mountain god to be born. He just wanted a powerful earthbound spirit to guard the area for him.
Both sides took advantage of each other and eventually reached the current situation.
When everything was figured out, a new problem came into Xiao's mind.
Should he tell the mountain god the truth?
If we don't say it, the mountain god's loyalty has been exploited, and he is really pitiful.
But Xiao couldn't predict what the consequences would be if he said it.
In this era when we are facing a formidable enemy, the most frightening thing is the variables that are difficult to control.
Xiao was analyzing and communicating with Green Xiao in his mind, which to outsiders seemed like he was remaining silent.
Seeing Xiao looking troubled, the Mountain God asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao withdrew his thoughts and asked Him, "If he didn't ask you to stay here, what would you do?"
The mountain god pondered for a long time and replied, "His city and I were destroyed long ago. I have nowhere else to go. Even without his request, I would not leave here. Since the people here respect me as a god, I will protect them."
What a simple Longlong!
Xiao couldn't help but tell the mountain god the truth.
After hearing this, the mountain god didn't react much. He just changed into a comfortable posture. In the process, he accidentally broke all the chains, and the parts left on his body were accidentally vaporized by him. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of his existence.
"You seem very moved by my answer, but isn't what I said the natural and right path?"
The mountain god paused, his tone suddenly becoming graver: "Indeed, I've been dead for so long, the rules outside must have changed."
"Putting my affairs aside for now, what brings you to me?"
