Han Wei suddenly thought of something and dashed towards the back of the village. As expected, when he arrived there, he saw a strange phenomenon unfolding on Qiluan Mountain. A blue light flashed on the mountaintop shrouded in black clouds in the distance, but upon closer inspection, there was no trace of thunder at all. It wasn’t caused by lightning.
Every time a muffled sound emanated from the mountain; he could feel a tremor beneath his feet. This wasn’t as simple as an earthquake at all. Han Wei felt more like some terrible beast was about to break out of its prison.
The village chief also came over to inspect with several villagers. When he saw the scene on the mountain, he couldn’t help but say worriedly, “This… will something happen to Qiluan Mountain again?”
A few years ago, Qiluan Mountain had suffered an accident. A thunderstorm had turned the treasure mountain into a dead mountain, and now such a strange scene suddenly appeared. He didn’t think it was a good sign.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a gray wolf appeared on the hilltop in the distance. Seeing the beast running out of the mountain, Han Wei secretly thought something bad.
“The wild beast is out of the mountain. Hurry, let the women and children at home hide and prepare for the attack.” The village chief also saw the wild beast and shouted to the villagers who were following him.
Everyone turned around and ran towards their homes, but Han Wei raised his head and looked at the viaduct hanging over the river. From Qiluan Mountain to Hejia Village, there was either a river or a cliff. It wasn’t easy for the beast to get here, but this section of wood was the only one bridge easier to cross.
When the villagers heard that there was a beast coming out of the mountain, they immediately panicked. Some chased the livestock and locked the doors and windows, while others packed up their things and hid in the cellar, and the young and strong men stood guard in the village.
“Village chief, has the warrior left?” The villagers who returned found that the warrior had disappeared, and only the village chief was guarding here, which made them even more panicked.
“If a wild beast really comes to attack the village, a warrior can still be hold them here. Now that he’s gone, did the warrior feel that he can’t resist the attack?”
“No, he went up.” The village chief naturally understood the villagers’ feelings. In order to appease them, he quickly pointed to the mountain road next to him and spoke.
“Isn’t it too dangerous to go up the mountain at this time?”
“No, look at the bridge quickly. There are wolves coming from the other side of the wooden bridge.”
Han Wei also noticed that several gray wolves were already stepping on the bridge. He tightened the long knife on his back, and rushed upward.
When the villagers saw the figure running on the mountain road, they finally understood what the warrior wanted to do. They nervously raised their heads and stared at the wooden bridge, fearing that he would be too late and collide with the wolves.
Han Wei finally reached the other end of the wooden bridge ahead of the gray wolf. He pulled out the long knife from his back and cut off the rope on the wooden pile. After a few cuts, one end of the bridge completely broke and fell off, and all the gray wolves on the bridge also fell into the river below.
As soon as the wooden bridge was broken, the villagers at the foot of the mountain smiled with joy. Han Wei’s expression did not improve. More and more wild beasts were emerging from the mountains. Once these beasts bypassed the river, the surrounding villages would suffer.
Han Wei lowered his head and glanced at the village below. He saw that the villagers all had axes and sickles in their hands. If the beast really came, these villagers might not be able to resist it for long.
.
“How about it? Did you feel bad angering me? If you kowtow to me and apologize, and then drain a little blood, I will stop the mutated beasts in the mountain temporarily.”
The ferocious beast’s voice once again entered their sea of consciousness domineeringly. The more Li Tianyan listened, the darker his face became.
“You evil people, do you really think I can’t defeat you? A little Qi Condensation who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth dares to sneer in front of me! When I get out of this broken bell, I will let you know how powerful I am.”
Li Tianyan ignored the screams of the ferocious beast and looking down at the copper bell under his feet. He originally planned to deal with all these mutated beasts first, and then slowly find a way to repair this immortal weapon, but the current situation no longer allowed him to do so.
“Tan Eyu, please take Cheng Qi away.”
“Young master, what do you want to do?” Cheng Qi suddenly felt uneasy after seeing Li Tianyan’s reaction.
“It’s okay, you go and wait for me.” Li Tianyan patted the top of Cheng Qi’s hair and spoke.
The Qiluan Mountain was so vast that he and Cheng Qi alone could not stop all the beasts from descending the mountain. Now they could only solve the root cause at their feet; otherwise, the villages around the mountain range would be in danger.
When Cheng Qi was carried by Tan Eyu and flew away from the copper bell, Li Tianyan bit his fingertips and drew a few runes on the top of the copper bell with his fingers, then spit out the tip of his tongue and dropped a drop of his heart’s blood on it.
The ferocious beast inside the copper bell seemed to be aware of it and snorted with disdain, “This immortal weapon was already born before you were even in this world. Do you really think that any scrap of blood can bond this weapon to you?”
“Isn’t it just a downgraded semi-immortal weapon? So, what if I take it away?” Li Tianyan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, then put his hands on the top of the copper bell, waking up the sleeping soul in his body and left a spiritual mark on the copper bell.
In an instant, the seemingly dilapidated copper bell emitted a burst of dazzling golden light. Li Tianyan took the opportunity to cast a few weapon-retracting techniques, “Shrink!”
Cheng Qi saw that the ten-foot-tall copper bell in front of him began to shrink, his eyes widened in surprise, until the copper bell shrank to only five feet, but then suddenly stopped.
“You!” Seeing the copper bell that had shrunk by half, the ferocious beast finally showed a surprised expression on his face.
“Shrink!” Li Tianyan forced another drop of his heart’s blood to fall on the copper bell and forcibly collected the immortal weapon.
But this matter was not as simple as imagined. Even though several seals had been placed on the copper bell and the level had been reduced to the lowest level, Li Tianyan was still almost exploded to death by its majestic spiritual power. His body could not carry its power, and his sea of consciousness had become chaotic, but if he stopped now, everything would be in vain.
