1066: Strange Prayer

Zuan is the Lord of the Netherworld after all. Although the Netherworld has not been established yet, he has a natural familiarity with the feeling of death.

The mountain below looks brightly lit, but it is too quiet, which makes it particularly strange in the dark night.

The goddess of Wushan said solemnly: “Everyone be careful.”

She immediately urged the clouds under her feet to fly faster.

As they got closer, everyone felt a kind of dry heat coming towards them, and even the clouds under their feet were gradually dissipating.

Zuan frowned, as if nothing good would happen every time he encountered this kind of dry heat.

The Goddess of Wushan waved her sleeves, and a wisp of water vapor dispersed, making the clouds under her feet more condensed. She then explained: “Shouyang Mountain is actually a huge volcano. The Wu tribe here has turned this volcano into a huge furnace with superb craftsmanship, which can be used to refine some peerless magic weapons.”

Then she pointed to the surrounding peaks: “At the same time, the ground fire in the main peak was led to the surrounding 72 peaks, turning them into countless smaller forging platforms.”

At this time, Zuan and the mermaid queen had already seen the Shouyang Mountain in the middle. A huge round opening on the top spewed dark red light, dyeing this side of the world with a layer of blood. The

surrounding 72 small peaks were distributed around in a special pattern. Zuan could even faintly feel some light blue ancient runes deeply engraved on the mountains.

Obviously, all of this and the main peak Shouyang Mountain formed a large formation, allowing the entire system to operate safely and smoothly.

There was a strong and pungent smell in the air, which was a mixture of sulfur, metal and various precious materials. Over the long years, countless magic weapons were born here.

As they got closer, the Wushan Goddess’s replenishment could not keep up with the consumption of the clouds under their feet, so they had to stop outside a mountain peak.

Zuan looked at the formations that were looming in the sky and said in a deep voice: “The defense formation here is still functioning normally. If we continue to fly in, we might trigger its counterattack.”

“That’s strange, since the defense formation is still functioning normally, how could something go wrong here?” The mermaid queen looked around. They had been in Shouyang Mountain for quite some time, but they still hadn’t seen any local witches.

“It’s really a bit strange. If it was an invasion by foreign enemies, there would be no traces of fighting.” The Goddess of Wushan said thoughtfully, “For countless years, because the Shouyang Wu tribe is good at forging, not only has a lot of wealth accumulated, but also the strong men from all sides come to forge weapons, which must provide a lot of precious materials.”

“Over countless years, Shouyang Mountain has accumulated a huge amount of wealth. So it is not that it has not attracted the covetousness of outsiders, but the Shouyang Wu has good combat power and is good at refining and forging. The defensive formations they have built can also deter those with evil intentions.”

“After several world-famous evil masters invaded here and died tragically, no one has ever thought about this place again.”

She kept looking around while talking, obviously not quite understanding what the current situation was.

“Let’s go inside and take a look.” I’m afraid that only Zuan knows what’s going on in the field. The breath of death inside is super strong.

The Goddess of Wushan nodded. She had been here once before, so she walked in front to lead the way.

The 72 peaks on the periphery are connected to each other and the main peak through suspension bridges.

There were red rivers flowing under the bridge, but only after a closer look could one see that they were not rivers, but flowing magma. There

were clouds of smoke produced by sulfur and other materials floating in the air.

The main body of the suspension bridge was made of black iron, and the wooden planks on top were a little hot to walk on. God knows why they didn’t burn in such an environment.

Zu An was thinking about what formation the Shouyang Wu Clan used to ensure the safety of these suspension bridges, when he suddenly found that the Wushan Goddess who was walking in front of him suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

The Wushan Goddess continued to walk forward, fanning herself casually, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and her collar was slightly open than usual, revealing her porcelain-white skin.

“Brother Zu, why are you so slow all of a sudden? I am a member of the Sea Clan, and her Wushan is the incarnation of clouds and mist. Obviously, they don’t like such an environment.” The mermaid queen pulled his sleeve and reminded him quietly.

Seeing a strand of her hair stuck to her cheek and her face flushed, Zuan suddenly realized something. He used the power of the Snow Phoenix slightly, and the air around him became cooler, and he could even see the falling snowflakes faintly.

“So beautiful…” The Goddess of Wushan subconsciously reached out to catch a snowflake, but immediately realized that it was Zuan’s thoughtful care, and nodded slightly, “Thank you, young master.”

“Thanks to the help of the goddess along the way, my little help is nothing.” Zuan smiled.

Feeling the other party’s warm smile, the Goddess of Wushan was a little afraid to look into his eyes, and quickly looked away: “Young master seems to be proficient in several elemental abilities at the same time, which is very rare in the world.”

Zuan was stunned: “Does everyone only use one ability?”

In fact, practitioners in later generations often specialize in one elemental ability. Is it the same in the more powerful ancient times?

“Not everyone is like this, but the two races of witches and liches in the world have powerful blood power, so generally speaking, they will only specialize in one ability and achieve it to the extreme. But you are practicing several completely different elemental abilities at the same time, and it seems that there is no impact. Is this the learning talent of the human race…” The Goddess of Wushan was talking, and the group had already arrived at the main peak in the middle.

The entire Shouyang Mountain has been transformed into a nine-story forging platform. Nine is the number of extremes, so many buildings in the world like to follow this rule.

Each floor is a huge space, with many forging platforms, markets and residences gathered on it, more like a small city.

The higher you go, the smaller the space becomes, but the scale of the forging platform and the exquisiteness of the residence are significantly increased. Obviously, this represents status in their tribe.

They came over through the suspension bridge and happened to be on the fifth floor, but this floor was empty, and the huge city was like a ghost town.

Then they went all the way up and stopped at the highest floor.

Although this floor is much smaller than the eight floors below, it is also a huge square. In the middle of the square stands a bronze statue of a man holding a giant hammer, which is a hundred feet tall. If you see it on a normal day, you will be amazed by the ingenuity of its carving.

But now all the attention of the three people is not on them, but looking at the ground with pale faces.

There are countless people kneeling on the ground. Judging from their appearance and dress, they are obviously the Shouyang witches mentioned by the Goddess of Wushan.

They kneeled in the square, as if they were praying to the bronze statue, with a faint smile on their faces. It

was originally a warm scene, but it became weird because they had no vitality.

The mermaid queen subconsciously leaned towards Zuan: “Brother Zu, they look like those people from the Chang family now.”
