Origin

Halfway through the fourth watch, footsteps were heard outside the door. It was the Black Widow, but the Black Widow did not come to knock on the door. She just walked back and forth in the yard.

Wu Zhongyuan stood up and opened the door, and Black Widow greeted him, "Sir, breakfast is ready, do you want some?"

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him, turned around and said goodbye to Li. Seeing that A Luo and the little boy were about to get up, he waved to them, "You guys can sleep a little longer. There is no need to get up in a hurry. The meals for each meal will be delivered to the room." Come on, I have something to do and I need to go out now. You guys stay here and wait for me."

A Luo nodded in agreement, Wu Zhongyuan and Li left the room, closed the door behind their backs, and went to the front hall with the waiting black widow.

The breakfast was very rich, including a variety of rice porridge, meat soup, noodles, vegetables, and several kinds of fruits. What surprised Wu Zhongyuan most was that there was also a plate of grilled salted fish on the table, which is a food often eaten by the bird tribe. , it is very rare in other places. This plate of salted fish is undoubtedly prepared for Libei. Two points can be determined from this meal. One is that Black Widow is very careful and is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Second, Black Widow is well-informed and already knows that he and Li Bie went together to fight against Wu Ao and You Xiong.

Regarding Black Widow's hospitality, Wu Zhongyuan showed no surprise or panic. He didn't even say a word of thanks. He just frowned and said, "I'm not a guest, so there's no need for this." ’

Black Widow smiled and stretched out her hand, inviting the two of them to sit down. After they sat down, she sat down and moved the plate of grilled salted fish in front of Li Bie, then took the chopsticks and picked up her rice bowl.

The Chinese are all about worldliness. Wu Zhongyuan is not good at these things, but some things will not happen just because he is not good at them. The king who rules the world is not a prodigal son who wanders around. He cannot only have personal heroism, but must have the ability to control the situation and be able to handle it. Some complex interpersonal relationships, including relationships with other ethnic groups, as well as dealing with one's own subordinates, will definitely be encountered frequently in the future. If not handled well, it may affect the overall situation.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Wu Qin. Wu Qin has always wanted to betroth his daughter Wu Qing to him. If he never responds, Wu Qin will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and the most direct consequence of being dissatisfied is to alienate him. , you must know that nothing in the world is without reason, including loyalty.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't eat much for breakfast, but he tasted basically all kinds of food. The purpose of doing this was to let the black widow know that he didn't have any precautions against it. In fact, he still had the precautions, if it weren't for his poisonous nature. If you don't invade, he will never eat other people's things easily. Trust is like a sword. If it is given to the right person, it can protect itself, but if it is given to the wrong person, it can also hurt itself.

After breakfast, the three of them set off on the road. Black Widow is a Taixuan cultivator and can fly through the air, but compared to flying through the air, she seems to prefer stepping on the treetops and speeding past. Wu Zhongyuan and Li Bie did not wear armor, and only used their spiritual energy to activate their movements and move forward with it.

On the way to the orc altar, Wu Zhongyuan informed Black Widow about the situation of the orc altar in detail.

There are twelve statues in the orc altar, divided into six birds and six beasts. These twelve statues must be the twelve generals under the Beast King. It is certain that none of these twelve alien beasts have real bodies, but why do they There is no real body but it is unknown. It may have been destroyed in the ancient war, or it may be that the physical body was sealed in another time and space.

In addition, the giant vulture and the giant hyena had previously attacked them on their way back from the Fox Clan's 100-day rice. From this, it can be determined that at least two souls, the giant vulture and the giant hyena, were awake in the orc clan's altar. This is just a conservative and optimistic estimate, and we do not rule out the possibility that there are more beast souls hidden in it.

As the city lord of Yinma River, Black Widow has experienced many large and small wars, and the question she raised is also very targeted, "The implication of your words is that it is impossible to determine how many enemies are there?"

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I only know there are two or more."

"My lord, have you never fought against them?" Black Widow asked again.

"No," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "But I have seen the dog king collide with the spiritual energy barrier. The spiritual energy barrier around the altar was extremely strong. It failed to break out, but it printed its animal shape outline on the spiritual energy barrier. This shows that even though they have no real body, their souls are still very powerful."

"That's natural," Black Widow said, "Aliens can only give birth to their natal soul when their aura cultivation reaches its peak."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. What Black Widow refers to as reaching the pinnacle is spiritual energy cultivation above Taixuan. The higher the spiritual energy cultivation, the stronger the spiritual consciousness. When the spiritual consciousness is strong enough, it can become independent without relying on the physical body. Existence, its nature is like becoming a god or immortal as later generations said.

"How much do adults know about them?" Black Widow asked again.

"Not much," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He knew what Black Widow was worried about. "But fortunately, the soul is not immortal. Anything that can hurt us can also be hurt by us."

What Wu Zhongyuan said was a bit abstract. Black Widow didn't understand it immediately, so she didn't rush to answer.

Wu Zhongyuan further explained, "The Yuan Shen is between yin and yang, and can be empty or real. The empty cannot be made real, and the real cannot be made empty. If it is not real, it cannot be made real, and if it is not empty, it cannot be made empty. All living things like us are yang. Attribute, for those who are real, want to attack

To attack us, the soul must be transformed into reality. Since it is transformed into reality, it can also be physically attacked. "

The black widow is a spirit of a different kind, and naturally understands the truth of yin and yang. When Wu Zhongyuan said this, it understood.

Before the hour arrived, the three of them arrived fifty miles northeast of the orc altar. Wu Zhongyuan landed in an open area on the top of the mountain, and Black Widow and Li Bie separated on the left and right.

Although the terrain here is relatively high, the orc altar in the southwest mountain depression cannot be seen. Wu Zhongyuan chose this place to stay precisely because the orc altar cannot be seen here. They must know that if they can see the altar, the ferocious things in the altar will not be visible. Can see them.

Wu Zhongyuan said to the two of them, "The range of the spiritual energy barrier is easy to distinguish. You can know the exact boundary of the barrier just by looking at the bones on the ground. I will go in first later and you two will wait outside the barrier." At this point, Seeing that the two of them were about to speak, he added in a more serious tone, "You are not allowed to enter without my permission. I have a green dragon armor to protect my body, which is equivalent to having an immortal body. Even if I can't defeat them, I want to escape intact." You can, but you can’t compare to me.”

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, Black Widow and Li Bie could only nod.

After explaining to the two of them, Wu Zhongyuan sent out his thoughts and summoned Qinglongjia to come.

While waiting for the Qinglong Armor to arrive, Wu Zhongyuan once again thought over many details in his mind, and jumped away from the top of the mountain the moment before the Qinglong Armor arrived.

This time, he did not lift up his energy, but dived and floated towards the valley below. The Qinglong Armor rushed after him. After he finished donning it, Wu Zhongyuan's thoughts flashed, and the Qinglong Armor suddenly accelerated and flew westward from the valley.

After a while, Wu Zhongyuan left the valley and entered the open area where the altar was. When he arrived, there was no obstacle. He speeded up again. Due to the extremely fast speed, the green dragon's shadow reappeared when the green dragon armor moved, and the sound of dragon roars came out again, far away. Looking at it, it was like a green dragon with angry eyes rushing toward the altar in the west.

The appearance of the phantom of the green dragon and the sound of the dragon's roar are both strange phenomena that appear when the blue dragon armor moves faster than the speed of sound. When the sound reached the altar, Wu Zhongyuan had already arrived first.

The aura barrier around the altar did not prevent living creatures from entering. Wu Zhongyuan drove straight in and rushed into the altar with lightning speed.

Because the speed was too fast, it brought up a cold air wave when flying. When it flew through the gap between the stone gates, the cold air waves directly broke open the two heavy stone gates. This was also in Wu Zhongyuan's expectation and plan, and he rushed in After the altar, it flew straight to the north, stepped on the north wall to gain strength, and recoiled back with huge inertia. At the same time, it stretched its arms to hug the headless statue, and then sent its thoughts quickly to activate the Azure Dragon Armor. Fly back at full speed.

The statue was about one foot high and five feet wide. If it were made of copper, it would weigh at least a thousand kilograms. In fact, the statue was lighter than he thought. The density of amethyst metal was about the same as that of aluminum and zinc, and the total weight was not much more than that of aluminum and zinc. It will exceed 500 pounds.

Careful planning in advance can greatly increase the chance of success. Because everything happened so suddenly, Wu Zhongyuan was not hindered by any obstacles. When Black Widow and Li Bie just appeared at the edge of the open area, he had already brought the headless statue with him. Breaking out of the barrier.

Leaving the area covered with bones, Wu Zhongyuan stopped and slowed down, put down the statue, turned around sharply, and fell down from outside the barrier.

Just as he stood still, there were three waves of violent vibrations on the spiritual energy barrier. The vibrations were the result of the evil spirits inside colliding with the spiritual energy barrier. A shadow would appear on the barrier every time it vibrated. This would happen if Wuzhong Yuan's materials were accurate. Urgent. He turned back just to make sure that several of the vicious creatures inside had revived, and he also achieved his goal. There were three of them. Judging from the outline of the shadow, they were a giant hyena, a giant vulture, and an unknown bird.

Although the forward momentum was blocked, the ferocious beast inside kept angrily charging against the barrier. The two birds gave up after trying several times. Only the giant hyena was furious and kept charging.

Just as Wu Zhongyuan frowned and observed the situation inside the barrier, Black Widow and Li Bie arrived from a distance. Neither of them spoke, but their different eyes showed their different thoughts. Black Widow's eyes showed surprise. This was because he was shocked by his terrifying speed after wearing the Azure Dragon Armor, and there was a look of hope in Li Bie's eyes, presumably hoping that he would stop here and not put himself in danger again.

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his spiritual energy and tried it, and found that although this barrier did not block living creatures, it blocked the spiritual energy.

"My lord." Black Widow raised her hand and pointed to the west.

Wu Zhongyuan followed what the black widow pointed and saw the little red-furred fox. It was not in the altar, but in the grass to the north of the altar. It also had a small mountain rabbit in its mouth.

The change in front of him surprised him greatly, and he opened his mouth in surprise. The rabbit took the opportunity to break away and ran into the grass nearby.

"Sir?" Black Widow asked in a questioning tone.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at it, then at the little fox, and finally his eyes moved to the black soul-fixing stone on the lintel of the altar.

At this time, the giant hyena was still charging fiercely inside the barrier. It should know that it could not break out of the barrier. This move might just be to vent the anger in its heart.

After a brief pause, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly made a move. When the giant hyena hit the barrier again, he rushed in...
