Zither Emperor Chapter 265 12 Thor's Hammer 78 Thor Hammer Fort Part 1_1

265: 12 Thor’s Hammer 78 Thor Hammer Fort (Part 1)_1 265: 12 Thor’s Hammer 78 Thor Hammer Fort (Part 1)_1 The War Behemoth Glacis returned to its slumber beneath the ice, continuing to feast on the food from the sea.

In the two days of rest that followed, Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang played music together for a period of time.

Apart from the two Golden Behemoths, everyone’s physical condition had mostly recovered to their peak states.

The most significant changes were seen in Ye Yinzhu, Zi, and Haiyang.

What Haiyang gained was the musical knowledge imparted by Ye Yinzhu.

Through the days of playing music together, her understanding of music had been pletely elevated to another level, fully embodying the strength that a Green rank Divine Music Department Sorcerer should have.

More importantly, she had bee much better at integrating emotions into her music than before.

Zi, too, had undergone tremendous improvement in spiritual power due to Ye Yinzhu’s rebirth and the additional boost from Glacis’s sacrifice of the Soul Fire.

His body had evolved to near the edge of rank Nine, a growth rate so astounding that even he was surprised.

He was getting closer to possessing the true power of an Amethyst Behemoth.

The changes in Ye Yinzhu were physical.

In just a few days, once his Douqi and Magic Power had fully recovered, his body seemed to have grown taller, and his shoulders had bee broader.

Along with his original elegance, he now exuded a sense of stability.

The battle had not notably enhanced his spiritual power, but the strength gained from the Blood Covenant with the two small Gold Armor Forbidden Insects, Shan and Lei, had now bee fully stable, solidifying at the Seventh Rank Qinxin Sword level, which was equivalent to the existence of an initiate Sorcerer.

A Seventeen-year-old Sorcerer was undoubtedly a record in the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Even among the powerful individuals from Faran, there could not be such a young Sorcerer.

Gaining more of the Amethyst Behemoth’s bloodline was just the surface change; more crucially, his bones and muscles had evolved greatly.

The days he spent unconscious before waking up were akin to undergoing a rebirth.

His bones had bee much harder and more flexible, and his meridians had nearly doubled in width pared to before.

His Zhu Douqi skyrocketed directly from Fifth Rank Yellow Bamboo to halfway through the Sixth Rank, not far from the Seventh Rank, maintaining a basic balance between Douqi and Magic Power.

To have reached such a level in both magic and martial arts, he could indeed be considered an anomaly.

From his battle with the War Behemoth Glacis, Ye Yinzhu had gained a deeper understanding of the importance of martial skills.

When facing an enemy far stronger than himself, playing music to counter them was very difficult.

The existence of martial skills could better protect oneself and provide opportunities to play music.

The Zhu Sect Martial Arts were undoubtedly strong, but before he came here, he had only just learned the true techniques of Zhu Sect Martial Arts from his father, Ye Zhong, and was far from mastering them.

After this incident, he decided that in addition to practicing the zither, he would also improve his martial skills, which were derived from the powerful ancient Eastern Dragon Empire and unavailable in any human kingdom now.

In a flash of light, Ye Yinzhu teleported the remaining people back to Zi’s cave dwelling using Instant Teleportation for the second time.

Although Dis and Perkins’s bodies had not yet fully recovered, the strong constitution of the Golden Behemoths bined with the effect of the Peiyuan Calm Heart Melody meant they were already able to move around with some effort.

As soon as they returned here, everyone felt a warm breeze.

It was now late spring, early summer, and even on the fringes of the Northernmost Wilderness, one could sense a bit of the summer warmth.

Chang Hao let out a sigh and looked at Ye Yinzhu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning to recover his spiritual power through meditation.

He murmured to himself, “It’s like a dream.

In less than a month, we have gone through a cycle of life and death.

I always thought my strength was quite impressive when I hadn’t left home.

Only after truly venturing out did I realize how insignificant I am pared to the outside world.”

Ma Liang smiled and said, “This has truly been a great trial.

If we were to cultivate on our own, we don’t know how long it would take to reach the Green rank.”

Chang Hao laughed heartily and asked, “If given another choice to face the War Behemoth again, would you do it?”

Ma Liang grimaced and replied, “Only an idiot would want to face that behemoth again.

A rank Ten Beast is not a joke.

All I hope for now is that my Xiao Qing grows up quickly and lets me experience what it’s like to have a rank Nine Beast.” Xiao Qing was the name he had given to his Hurricane Python King.

As soon as Ma Liang mentioned beasts, Chang Hao immediately got excited.

“Then let’s have a petition to see whether your Xiao Qing grows faster, or my Xiao Huang is more formidable.” Xiao Huang was naturally the name of his own Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King.

Haiyang smiled gently and said, “Looking at you guys, it’s like children who have gotten a new toy.

Keep it down, don’t disturb Yin Zhu’s meditation.”

Ma Liang chuckled softly and whispered, “Senior Sister, when do we need to change how we address each other?”

Haiyang was taken aback and responded, “Change what?”

Chang Hao laughed and said, “Of course, we mean starting to call you sister-in-law.

We are not fools; who couldn’t see what’s going on between you and Boss Yin Zhu on this journey?”

Haiyang’s face blushed red, and fortunately the white light band obscured her features enough to avoid embarrassment.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Yin Zhu and I are just, just classmates.”

Chang Hao smirked and said, “Classmates?

Is it really that simple?

To be invited by Boss Ye to join this Northernmost Wilderness expedition, apart from Yue Ming who was promised long ago, the rest are his best friends.

We’re his friends, so is Sura, and among the females, there is only you.

I’m afraid it’s not as simple as just classmates.”

Haiyang didn’t speak again and moved to stand beside Ye Yinzhu, no longer looking at them, but her heart felt sweet.

Sura remained indifferent, staring in the direction of the cave entrance, seemingly deep in thought.

The group rested in Zi’s cave for a day, and the next morning, after breakfast, they set out toward Qin City.

Since their bodies had not recovered fully, the two Golden Behemoths were left behind.

Ye Yinzhu, Zi, Chang Hao, Ma Liang, Sura, and Haiyang, along with a Crimson Spirit, headed toward Qin City.

Three Polar Ice Demon Apes were also left behind because with the two seriously injured Golden Behemoths, despite the presence of several Behemoth Beasts, it was still necessary to have a rank Nine Beast to guard the place.

Ever since returning from the Ice Ring, the Crimson Spirit had bee a lot more silent than before.

Truly conquered by Ye Yinzhu’s zither music and under the effects of the Peiyuan Calm Heart Melody, it had already digested more than half of the Krypton Gold within its body.

Just like Zi had said, Ye Yinzhu’s ability to help Magical Beasts evolve held a captivating force over any Magical Beast.

Three days later, atop a small hill on the border of the Northernmost Wilderness.

The disorganized trees provided no pattern, and Ye Yinzhu and the others were hidden among them, looking southward.

Zi pointed ahead and said, “Look, ahead is Thor Hammer Fort.

If we want to get to Qin City, we must pass through there.

This is the dividing line between the Beastmen and Humans.”

Ma Liang asked, “Must we pass through the fortress?

But we are all Humans; will the Beastmen let us through?

The border of the Northernmost Wilderness is so vast, wouldn’t it be better to find a secluded place to sneak through?”

Zi shook her head and said, “It’s not that simple.

Indeed, the border of the Northernmost Wilderness is very broad, but, with Thor’s Hammer, Solomon Fortress, and War God Fortress as the three major barriers constructing the defense, it’s extremely solid.

The Northernmost Wilderness is mountainous, and these three fortresses are almost all built against mountains.

On the border with the Human kingdoms, there are also many mountains.

You must know that among the Beastmen, many races are very suited to living in the mountains.

Although the main force is stationed around these three fortresses, the areas without soldiers are even more dangerous, with traps galore.

You must understand that to defend the Northernmost Wilderness, this defense line has been continuously built by the Beastman Clan for tens of thousands of years and has bee as solid as a metal soup.

Otherwise, why haven’t Humans destroyed the Beastmen when they raid for food every year?”

Ma Liang frowned and said, “Doesn’t that mean there’s no chance for us to get back?

How about we just break through?

Traps might be formidable, but they might not be able to stop us.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “No, it’s better not to break through by force.

If the Beastman Clan has managed to stand against the Milan Empire, Ascoli Kingdom and Flore Empire for so many years, their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

We have too few people; if we get entangled by the Beastman mobile troops, it will be difficult for us to escape.

Moreover, I’ve heard from Brother Oliveira that although the Beastman Clan launches attacks on Humans every fall, they do not have such an aversion to Humans.

The various goods from Humans are very popular with the Beastmen.

As a result, many Human merchants enter the three major fortresses to trade some Human goods with the Beastmen for Magical Beast Crystal Cores or metals unique to the Northernmost Wilderness.

Now that autumn is far away, the relations between the Beastmen and the Human kingdoms haven’t reached a tense point yet, so passing through the fortress might be the safest option.”

Zi nodded and said, “That’s what I think too.

Although Humans won’t be in danger within the three major Beastman Fortresses, they usually enter the fortress from the south.

What we need to do now is figure out how to get in from the north without being detected by the Beastmen.

Once we’re inside the fortress, everything will bee easier.

After years of development, the three major Beastman fortresses have already bee the three most important cities for the Beastmen, inparable in size to any Human city.

Apart from the large garrison, many mon Beastmen and Beastman nobles also live there, and there’s no place safer than these three fortresses for the Beastmen.”
