Vassals of the Hundred Races
"Waaaaah!"
The hissing sound of snakes is the sound of airflow vibrating the glottis during respiration, not actual vocalizations from the snake's mouth.
When a snake moves quickly or tries to make a sound to frighten or warn other animals, its breathing becomes rapid, and the more rapid the airflow, the louder the sound it makes.
In this mountainous region, countless snakes make sounds in this manner.
The hissing of snakes was interspersed with muffled sounds that echoed continuously.
This is the whimpering sound of the snake king.
The Snake King made no statement regarding the beast leaders' decision to cease hostilities, negotiate peace, and refuse to withdraw from the third party. Even though the beast leaders did not launch any further attacks on the Snake King as a gesture of goodwill, the Snake King only went into a brief period of adjustment.
When Ren Yisheng learned the technique of mental vocalization quite well, his halting voice came through, and the Snake King immediately responded quickly.
Ultimately, it only hurts when the knife touches your skin.
The Snake King suffered blows and pressure from these ferocious beasts, not from Changkong Luo and the others. It deeply hated these beasts, but felt nothing for Changkong Luo and the others.
In this collaborative partnership, as long as communication can be conducted simultaneously, choosing which side to partner with is not difficult.
"Humans are merely vassals of the hundred races in this vast world, enslaved by supreme beings like the Dragon God Asha. Yet you would rather choose humans than cooperate with my White-browed race!"
Atop the hundred-foot-tall stone pillar, the tiger's roar echoed once more, its sound filled with arrogance and disbelief.
You'll regret your decision tonight!
A third force intervened during the stalemate, and Changkong Luo and his group used a dispersed attack method to continuously wound several ferocious beasts.
This made the beast pack's demand for the snake cave even stronger, and the snake king also saw an opportunity to counterattack.
The battle of ferocious beasts erupted at nightfall, but the situation became completely different due to the intervention and even cooperation of a third party.
The snake king coiled its massive body, freeing itself from the entanglement of several ferocious beasts. With a flick of its head, it continued to move forward, its body coiling around the stone pillars of the stone forest, spiraling upwards.
This angered the ferocious beast leader above the stone forest, who then spread its enormous wings, creating countless whirlwinds as its body stumbled and leaped upwards.
"Turn on the lights!"
Then Changkong Luo calmly spoke up.
Compared to Ren Yisheng's intimidation and suppression of the ferocious beasts, the effect of Ren Yisheng emitting a piercing sound was obviously stronger.
Even though Changkong Luo didn't understand how snakes communicate, he could tell that the negotiations between the two sides had been successful.
This was an outrageous cross-species collaboration, allowing Changkong Luo to constantly seize opportunities to strike, hoping to defeat these tiger-like beasts as quickly as possible within the limited time available.
"That winged beast has flown away!"
"Never mind it, we can't catch the flying beast!"
"These ferocious beasts are either entangled by snakes, crushed and injured, or poisoned. Now is the perfect time to clean up the mess!"
"Professor Ren, could you talk to that snake king and ask it to stop its snake minions from killing the ferocious beast?"
"As long as we can lock it in a cage and use alloy barriers around the points where the beast exerts its strength, we can ask Committee Member Zhang to invite Shen En to treat it!"
Where is Committee Member Zhang?
During their brief conversation, Qin Zhong, who was in charge of holding the lanterns, couldn't help but glance back with his searchlight.
His gaze swept across the distant mountains, but Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran were nowhere to be seen.
As Ren Yisheng shouted to the Snake King to continue cooperating, his eyes involuntarily glanced upwards.
Ren Yisheng couldn't see the darkness above clearly, but he felt that Zhang Xuezhou must have already taken to the air, and his target was most likely the leader of the ferocious beasts.
The beast leader is important, but as an extract required for the Seventh Sequence, it is not irreplaceable. The real reason Zhang Xuezhou is tracking it is most likely the content expressed by the beast leader.
Not to mention others, even Ren Yisheng, who was responsible for spiritual communication, was deeply shocked.
As humanity has continuously developed within society, it has ultimately become the apex predator in the food chain through social civilization. Suddenly discerning concepts like 'vassalage' and 'enslavement' from the information conveyed by the roar of a tiger is undoubtedly a huge shock.
For humanity today, the world has been increasingly understood, but there are still so many places yet to be explored.
Ren Yisheng's life plan is limited to the marriage alliance between the Ren Household and Zhang Household families, eliminating Huang Daoxian and becoming a major Lineage in the Scarlet Alliance State. While stabilizing the Lineage's interests, he also wants to explore spiritual means and continuously improve, becoming a master in the spiritual field.
For Ren Yisheng, this was all he pursued in his life.
Compared to ordinary people, Ren Yisheng feels that his life is great and he can't ask for anything more.
But looking back, Ren Yisheng realized how insignificant and inadequate this goal was.
He suddenly recalled what Ren Anran had once said, "I have seen cultivators who have lived for thousands of years, and I have also seen a world full of splendor. My life should not be limited to a hundred years!" Ren Yisheng had previously thought that the cultivators who had lived for thousands of years mentioned by Ren Anran were "wild" and felt that his daughter's mental state was somewhat strange and that she had some unrealistic ideas as she got older.
But in a moment of realization, Ren Yisheng discovered that he was the one who had been living in a well and looking at the sky from the bottom of his own mind.
No matter how much Ren Anran reminded or described it, Ren Yisheng found it hard to believe that there was something beyond his understanding when he had nothing to see with his own eyes. His worldview also made it impossible for him to imagine situations beyond his comprehension.
At that moment, Ren Yisheng undoubtedly saw the clues.
"My life shouldn't be limited to a hundred years!"
The world is vast and expansive, far more profound than they imagined, even containing realms beyond realms.
Without sufficient strength, it's impossible to reach the edge of this world; without sufficient time, it's impossible to explore these mysterious and unpredictable regions.
Faced with mystery and the unknown, Ren Yisheng is undoubtedly a toddler learning to walk; he needs enough time to grow and even more space to explore.
"The world is full of mysteries, and those who are truly blessed by heaven and earth are few and far between. We have already reached the pinnacle of the world, and a single fortuitous opportunity may change everything!"
He murmured to himself, repeating what Ren Anran had once said, before quickly looking away after gazing into the distance.
Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou has already gone ahead to explore the mysteries, while Ren Yisheng's current task is to finish hunting the ferocious beast as quickly as possible, make up for his own disadvantages, and do everything possible to push Ren Anran and Zhang Xuezhou.
The world is not limited to ruling a single corner, nor can one travel alone beyond the world. Only by forming a united force can we explore and expand.
Ren Yisheng silently recited to himself. For a moment, he even began to adjust his mindset. Even towards these Sequence Holder in front of him, whom he had once defined as opponents of Huang Daoxian's Old Age Mansion, Ren Yisheng was constantly adjusting his attitude when making plans, and he had less of a calculating mind.
"Bang!"
A sudden gunshot rang out, interrupting Ren Yisheng's last thought as he shouted to relay the message.
His gaze fell upon the scene, and Changkong Luo turned on.
Under the light, Ren Yisheng only saw that Song Xianzong's eyes were bloodshot and his body, holding a heavy rifle, was swaying.
After firing a shot haphazardly, as the lights came on, the heavy rifle's muzzle began to turn towards the crowd.
"Song Xianzong is mentally unstable!"
Before Ren Yisheng could even speak, Changkong Luo cried out in shock.
"Bi Dazhi, Bi Dazhi?"
Then Qin Zhong, who was holding a searchlight, shouted loudly, and everyone realized that Bi Dazhi, who was holding another lamp, had not turned on the light as instructed.
Under the light, Bi Dazhi, who was holding the searchlight, also swayed, as if he were drunk.
Then Li Qi tilted his head slightly, and the ten goose-feather sabers fell to the ground. He then squatted down and gasped for breath.
Although none of the group suffered physical discomfort from the attack of the ferocious beast, within a short period of time, three of them experienced difficulty controlling their bodies and even became confused and unable to control their thoughts.
"Was it the medication that caused the side effects?"
While observing the unusual behavior of Song Xianzong and others, many people quickly made a judgment and remembered the snake repellent that Zhou Rihui had called 'excitement'.
Others looked around cautiously, wary of being attacked by ferocious beasts if the team fell into disarray.
"Subdue them quickly!"
"Subdue anyone who shows symptoms immediately!"
"Ignore the ferocious beasts and snakes; your minds are already disordered. Try to restore your mental state to normal as quickly as possible!"
As he rapidly issued commands, Changkong Luo felt his heart plummet to the bottom of an abyss.
At the same time, he even felt a surge of excitement in his head that made it difficult to control himself.
