"There really is!"
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward for a closer inspection.
Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, hewed trees to make plows, and taught the benefits of farming. He could be considered the progenitor of agricultural civilization.
In the hearts of the people of the Divine State, he was universally revered.
Discovering his ruins, how could one not be intrigued?
Li Yan hurriedly pulled apart another vine, revealing another pit, suggesting that this place once had stone-carved, wood-embedded steps leading directly to the bottom of the cliff.
"It should be right."
Wang Daoxuan, full of interest, looked down, "Shennong, at that ti, did not co alone; he must have brought many tribal ancestors, and they relied on wooden ladders to travel everywhere..."
"Owooo~ Owooo~"
Suddenly, a wild beast’s roar echoed from the thick mist below.
The sound was peculiar, like a wolf’s howl yet reminiscent of a donkey’s bray, very loud and echoed through the valley, startling countless birds.
"It’s the donkey-headed wolves!"
Village Chief Zhou appeared tense, while other hunters from Dragon Pond Village turned pale and couldn’t help but retreat.
Lv San’s expression changed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "They said the prey is about to die and that they are encircling it."
The so-called prey must undoubtedly be Daoist Yun.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan directly pulled out the Armored Horse from his chest, tying it to his leg while advising, "I’ll go ahead to save him. You all follow slowly."
"Brother Yan, be careful!"
"Don’t worry."
After the brief instruction, Li Yan imdiately perford a Step Gang, chanting a mantra, "Nuogao! Six Jia, Nine Zhang, Heaven round and Earth square, the four seasons and the Five Elents..."
With the improvent in Dao, the North Emperor Divine Movent Skill beca even more mysterious.
In an instant, fierce winds roared around, dry leaves flew all over, and Village Chief Zhou and the village hunters couldn’t help but shield their eyes with their arms.
After the wind passed, Li Yan’s figure was no longer on the cliff.
They hurried forward, only to see a figure stepping on the steep cliff as if it were flat ground, moving rapidly and quickly swallowed by the mist.
"I’ll go first, Master Wang will follow."
Lv San took a step forward and leaped out. In mid-air, he perford a graceful Yaozi flip, grabbing the vines and rapidly descending.
These vines were sowhat peculiar; no one knew how many years they had grown, becoming extrely robust, with roots deeply embedded in the cliff, resembling naturally ford wooden ladders.
Wang Daoxuan and Sha Lifei followed closely behind.
Seeing Li Yan’s marvelous techniques, Village Chief Zhou and the hunters felt much less fear and climbed down along the vine ladder.
The most interesting was Wu Ba.
In this mysterious Shennongjia, others were still wary, but for him, it was like returning ho, generating extre excitent upon entry.
He didn’t climb the vine ladder at all, due to his trendous weight and the sa weight of the baggage he carried, as the vines couldn’t bear it.
And Wu Ba simply didn’t need them; with large hands opening like iron hooks, he directly clenched the rock crevices, climbing down easily like an ape, even faster than the others.
anwhile, Li Yan descended swiftly, occasionally stepping on protruding rocks to reduce force. Whirling winds ford around him, creating a supportive force.
To this day, with his advanced martial arts skills and improved Dao, he finally demonstrated the intricacies of the North Emperor Divine Movent Skill.
The surrounding mist quickly receded, revealing the situation below.
It was a sizable valley, evidently frequently ravaged by mountain torrents, with large and small boulders piled like a stream, leading far away.
Although there was no flood now, a river remained, crashing against the rocks along the way, creating continuous roaring sounds and splashing water.
More intriguingly, on both sides of the valley, on the cliff tops, there were densely dug tunnels, with stones piled into walls and remnants of wooden walkways.
It was an ancient ruin of the early inhabitants!
Among the chaotic stones below, a blood-stained Daoist in a gray robe leaned against the cliff, holding a crossbow arrow, with two copper pipes scattered beside him.
Opposite him lay two charred corpses.
And not far away, three giant beasts road, towering like mule horses, with wolf-like lower bodies, long donkey-like heads, and fang-filled mouths. Their sinister faces dripped red tongues with mucus.
Netherworld Fire Pistol?!
Seeing the copper pipes beside the Daoist, Li Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
He originally thought the person was just a wild Taoist from a remote area, guarding an old temple to protect a region.
Such Daoists were everywhere in the Divine State.
But now, it seed the person’s identity was definitely not that simple!
Of course, there was no ti to think much about it now.
When Li Yan leaped down, the wind he stirred alerted the donkey-headed wolves, and one of them let out a low growl, suddenly pouncing forward.
This creature could climb the cliff like a sheer wall, much like goats, using the nearly vertical steep slope to bound and leap, directly charging at Li Yan.
Its jaw full of sharp teeth opened wide, emitting a putrid wind.
Seeing this, Li Yan instantly understood.
The Daoist Yun below was most likely forced by the donkey-headed wolves to the cliff, trying to escape down the vines.
But unexpectedly, the donkey-headed wolves could scale cliffs like flat ground, not only failing to avoid them but also chased and forced down from above.
When the donkey-headed wolf lunged, Li Yan’s expression remained unchanged. His left hand perford a mantra, and the Soul-breaking Flying Blade at his waist instantly howled, drilling into the donkey-headed wolf’s mouth.
Pfft!
Without the slightest delay, it directly burst out from the back of its head, brain matter splattering, then circled around and inserted back into the leather pouch at his waist.
The Soul-breaking Flying Blade, a close-combat weapon, relied on the Soul Hook for operation, achieving a speed comparable to a flying sword within a six-ter range.
Now, with two Soul-hooking Thunder Ropes, he could drive two flying blades simultaneously, wielding trendous power.
