Snake section Patriarch is wanting to turn around to depart, hears this cry to stop the footsteps, following prestige in the past. 地蛇部族长正欲转身离去,听到这一声叫声停下脚步,循声望了过去。 That black clothes clansman figure is slender, pair of vertical stroke eye of green light is faint, at this moment sees the people to look to approach itself, throwing out the chest chest cavity, more numerous, bright sound said: 那名黑衣族人身形修长,一双竖目绿光隐隐,此刻见众人望向自己,挺了挺胸膛,越众而出,朗声道: „Reported Patriarch, below Kang Tai, three years ago has then achieved the monster middle level, this Qing Cang the monster will be preliminary now. Below self-examined that was inferior the list goes forward nine brothers, but this Qing Cang, if can be selected, refuses to accept below.” “禀族长,在下康泰,三年前便已达到妖将中阶,这擎沧如今才不过妖将初阶。在下自问不如榜上前九位弟兄,但这擎沧若能入选,在下不服。” Snake section Patriarch hears word, looked around secure Martial Uncle one, without speech. 地蛇部族长闻言,看了一旁的安师伯一眼,没有说话。 „The Body Transformation Great Ceremony quota is precious, each quota synthesizes the consideration to decide after Patriarch and several of us elder. After Qing Cang since is responsible for this clan purchasing the matters concerned, repeatedly performs outstanding service, it may be said that is obvious to all, the saved honor has been in the clan first three, can attain this quota, is favored.” secure Martial Uncle looks to Kang Tai, said. “化形大典名额珍贵,每一个名额都经过族长及我们几个长老综合考量所定。擎沧自从负责本族采购事宜后,屡建奇功,可谓有目共睹,积攒的荣誉已位列族内前三,能获此名额,也算是众望所归。”安师伯看向康泰,说道。 „Peaceful elder word is bad, as far as I know, this Kang Tai the one person alone sneaks the Barbarian Tribe territory in recent years repeatedly, captures the person two clan ore slave 16 people for the clan, even Xiantian Barbarian Tribe, honor, although has not been first three, but first five have.” Previously that young-looking elderly elder opened the mouth to say suddenly. “安长老此言差矣,据我所知,这康泰近些年屡次孤身潜入蛮族领地,为族中抓获人蛮两族矿奴十六人,其中甚至有一名先天蛮族,荣誉虽未名列前三,但前五还是有的。”此前那名鹤发童颜的长老突然开口道。 Such remarks, the numerous monsters in an uproar. 此言一出,众妖哗然。 The honor differs are not many, but strength missed first level after all, in participating in the qualifications of Body Transformation Great Ceremony, can say is on a par. 荣誉相差不算多,但实力毕竟差了一阶,在参加化形大典的资格上,可以说不相伯仲。 After all strength is stronger, obtains the shape pill's probability is also higher on Body Transformation Great Ceremony, each shape pill may expedite Earth Rank Monster Race in the future, will promote in the clan enormously strength. 毕竟实力越强,在化形大典上得到化形丹的概率也越高,每一颗化形丹都可能在未来催生一名地阶妖族,极大提升族内实力。 „Kang Tai, how do you want?” Snake section Patriarch opened the mouth finally. “康泰,你想如何？”地蛇部族长终于开口了。 „Must propose the duel below to Qing Cang, asking Patriarch to help.” Kang Tai said slowly, looks fully to the Shi Mu vision is the meaning of provocation. “在下要向擎沧提出决斗,请族长成全。”康泰缓缓说道,望向石牧的目光满是挑衅之意。 „Qing Cang, can you be willing to accept the Kang Tai duel?” Snake section Patriarch looks to Shi Mu, said. “擎沧,你可愿接受康泰的决斗？”地蛇部族长看向石牧,说道。 This, everyone's vision looked to Shi Mu, on the Xiantian Monster Race face that several had not been chosen full was the meaning of taking pleasure in others' misfortunes. 这一下,所有人的目光都看向了石牧,有几个没被选上的先天妖族脸上满是幸灾乐祸之意。 „Kang Tai strength has been close to high level, this Qing Cang was then miserable!” “康泰实力已接近高阶,这擎沧这下惨了！” „Hehe, had the good play to look!” “嘿嘿,有好戏看了！” „Words said when this Qing Cang braves, how don't I have an impression?” “话说这擎沧什么时候冒出来的,我怎么没有一点印象？” ...... …… „I do not accept.” In everyone discusses spiritedly, Shi Mu said words that everyone has not thought. “我不接受。”就在所有人议论纷纷之时,石牧却说了一句所有人都没想到的话。 Such remarks, scene immediately a peace. 此言一出,现场顿时一片安静。 Presents all Monster Race to look to the Shi Mu vision, full is the strange color. 在场所有妖族看向石牧的目光,满是古怪之色。 After all through the ages, in Monster Race advocates the powerhouse, was proposed the duel that by a direction other side, generally speaking, will be no one will reject, after all this on behalf of honor. 毕竟古往今来,妖族中崇尚强者,由一方向另一方提出的决斗,一般而言,是没有人会拒绝的,毕竟这代表着荣誉。 „Sir Patriarch, since this participates in the Body Transformation Great Ceremony quota is you and several elders decides together, that naturally after thinking, measures over and over. Since I have obtained the quota now, even if the duel wins, is still no good below, why do I want to accept the duel? Only if, Kang Tai lost, can give compared with the Body Transformation Great Ceremony quota equivalent thing. Naturally, others , if refuses to accept, wants to propose the duel below, so long as can provide the equivalent thing, consented below.” Shi Mu turned around toward place Snake Clan Patriarch good a ritual, continued to say. “族长大人,既然这参加化形大典的名额是您和几位长老共同商定出来的,那自然经过深思熟虑,再三权衡而出。既然我如今已获得名额,即便决斗胜出,在下也没有任何好处,那我为何要接受决斗？除非,康泰输了,能给出比化形大典名额等值之物。当然,其他人若是不服,想向在下提出决斗,只要能提供等值之物,在下同样应允。”石牧转身朝着地蛇族族长行了一礼,继续说道。 Kang Tai this also wants to say anything, finally Shi Mu such remarks, was actually startled for a while same place. 康泰本还想说些什么,结果石牧此言一出,却一时怔在了原地。 With the Body Transformation Great Ceremony quota equivalent thing, where can he take? 与化形大典名额等值之物,他哪里拿得出来？ In other Xiantian Monster Race, many people also some god, never has Monster Race when rejecting the duel for a while after all, comes up with this hypothesis, but slightly a consideration, as if feels somewhat the truth. 其余先天妖族中,有不少人一时也有些愣神,毕竟从来没有妖族会在拒绝决斗时,提出这种假设,不过略一思量,却似乎又觉得有几分道理。 However still many Monster Race, looked to the Shi Mu vision, full is the color of despising, said no matter how, the rejection duel, is one loses face in the presence of everyone matter. 不过仍有不少妖族,看向石牧的目光中,满是鄙夷之色,不管怎么说,当众拒绝决斗,是一件丢脸之极的事情。 „Since Qing Cang does not accept the Kang Tai duel, that quota as usual.” After snake section Patriarch dropped out these words, then no longer pays attention to various people on the scene, turned around to leave the tent. “既然擎沧不接受康泰的决斗,那名额照旧。”地蛇部族长抛下了这句话后,便不再理会在场诸人,转身离开了帐篷。 Sees Patriarch to leave, four elders look at each other, departs in abundance. 见族长离开,四名长老相顾一眼,也纷纷离去。 And, that secure Martial Uncle before going out of tent, looked at Shi Mu one meaningfully, later turns around to depart. 其中,那位安师伯在走出帐篷前,意味深长的看了石牧一眼,随后才转身离去。 Shi Mu has not stopped over, under attention of numerous monster, left the tent, towards oneself dwelling walked. 石牧也没有多逗留,在众妖的瞩目下,自顾自的离开了帐篷,朝自己住处走去。 His itself/Ben assumes a false identity, where will care about the so-called honor and position in this Monster Race small Tribe, if he really accepts the challenge of opposite party hotheadedly, if being fought the exposed status, causes the plan fail, that may on the gain does not equal the loss. 他本就是冒名顶替,哪会在乎这种妖族小部落里的所谓荣誉和地位,若是他真的头脑发热去接受对方的挑战,万一在打斗中暴露身份,导致计划失败,那可就得不偿失了。 ...... …… The result's the 2nd day, was timid about Qing Cang, the matter of rejection duel, then spread in the presence of everyone in entire Snake Clan Tribe. 结果第二日,关于擎沧胆小怯懦,当众拒绝决斗之事,便在整个地蛇族部落里传扬开了。 When the numerous monsters laugh at the insult, several once with Monster Race of some Qing Cang friendship, threatened that immediately shames with Qing Cang is a companion, must draw a line with it. 在众妖嗤笑辱骂之时,几个曾与擎沧有些交情的妖族,当即扬言称羞与擎沧为伍,要与其划清界限。 In addition, including originally with its being on good terms secure Martial Uncle, does not have to contact with him again. 此外,连原本与其交好的安师伯,也没有再与他联系。 Shi Mu regarding this naturally is an indifferent attitude, after all oneself are „character is eccentric” Monster Race, originally not too in other Monster Race with the clan has what contact, then, was but actually more convenient. 石牧对此自然是一副无所谓的态度,毕竟自己是个“性格孤僻”的妖族,本来就不太与族中其他妖族有什么往来,如此一来,倒更加省事了。 After a two days early morning, Snake Clan sent out a Earth Rank elder to lead, leads Shi Mu and other Xiantian clansmen, is sending under custody a number of tribute, went in the Sky Reaching Peak direction. 两日后的一个清晨,地蛇族派出了一名地阶长老带队,带领石牧等十名先天族人,押送着一批贡品,朝凌天峰方向而去。 ...... …… After the half a month, Shi Mu and place snake section numerous Monster Race, after one climbs mountains and crosses rivers, finally arrived quiet spring valley who passes outside Tianfeng not far away. 半月后,石牧与地蛇部众妖族,经过一番跋涉,终于抵达了通天峰外不远处的幽泉谷。 In this quiet spring valley Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth is very abundant, Shi Mu just stepped into the valley, then feels the whole body to be comfortable, the spirit feels pumped up. 这幽泉谷中天地灵气十分充裕,石牧刚刚踏入谷中,便感到浑身舒爽,精神为之一振。 In this moment valley besides some Heavenly Fox Clan Monster Race, the people of many other Monster Race, occupied a region in the valley in abundance, pitches camp. 此刻谷中除了一些天狐族妖族外,还有不少其他妖族之人,纷纷在谷中占据了一片区域,安营扎寨。 Shi Mu shortly after entering Snake Clan, then inquired 7788 related matter of Body Transformation Great Ceremony and Sky Reaching Peak, knows that this quiet spring valley Heavenly Fox Clan that is attached to by place Snake Clan governs, but snake section bringing tribute, are on the tribute to Heavenly Fox Clan, to receive in exchange ten precious quotas. 石牧早在进入地蛇族不久后,便将有关化形大典和凌天峰之事打听了七七八八,知道这幽泉谷由地蛇族所依附的天狐族所辖,而地蛇部此次带来的贡品,便是上贡给天狐族的,以换取十个宝贵的名额。 Heavenly Fox Clan as one of the three big Monster Race, the background not Snake Clan small clan may compare deeply like this, provides visit various Monster Race rest with quiet spring valley from this, then can be inferred. 天狐族作为三大妖族之一,底蕴深厚远非地蛇族这样的小族可比,从这提供来访各妖族休憩用的幽泉谷,便可见一斑。 The Earth Rank elder of Snake Clan this time sends name was celebrate Hong, after gave Heavenly Fox Clan the tribute was responsible for receiving and instructing the person, then according to the instruction, leading Shi Mu and the others to arrive at a corner to settle. 地蛇族此次派来的地阶长老叫庆洪,在将贡品交给天狐族负责接引之人后,便根据指示,带着石牧等人来到一处角落安顿下来。 Because Shi Mu previously rejected the matter of duel in the presence of everyone, was not too included celebrate the Hong numerous monsters to treat sees, therefore his tent was arranged in most corner. 石牧由于此前当众拒绝决斗之事,不太受包括庆洪在内的众妖待见,故而他的帐篷被安排在了最角落处。 Shi Mu regarding this, actually wishes for earnestly. 石牧对此,却是求之不得。 Was the night, Shi Mu by starlight, left quiet spring valley quietly, silent in the Sky Reaching Peak direction of not far away, snuck to go. 是夜,石牧趁着夜色,悄悄离开了幽泉谷,无声无息的朝着不远处的凌天峰方向,潜行而去。 The line to the halfway, in midair the tenuous form dives together, falls on his shoulder, is Cai'er. 行至半途,半空中一道纤小身影俯冲而下,落在其肩头,正是彩儿。 „What kind of, is the inquiry clear? Has goal that what can start?” Shi Mu asked low voice. “怎么样,打探清楚没？有没有什么可以下手的目标？”石牧小声问道。 „Shi Tou (stone), I go into action, haven't you felt relieved? The words saying, this Sky Reaching Peak, really quite high, oh, is going against the day quickly!” Cai'er said. “石头,俺出马,你还不放心吗？话说,这凌天峰,真的好高,哇塞,都快顶着天了！”彩儿道。 „Rubbish, said the key point!” Shi Mu said. “别废话,说重点！”石牧道。 „Shi Tou (stone) your anxious anything......” Cai'er discontented mumbling. “石头你急什么……”彩儿不满的嘟囔道。 ...... …… After several days, in the morning. 数日后,清晨。 The Sky Reaching Peak fog winds around all around, green ancient wooden partly visible. 凌天峰周遭云雾缭绕,苍翠古木若隐若现。 East the mountain peak, with quiet spring valley, is one piece occupies a land area of dozens mu giant square. 山峰东侧,与幽泉谷之间,是一片占地数十亩的巨大广场。 Square center's, five jet black giant stones build the stage that becomes to set up in an array, each stage has zhang (3.33 m) permits tall, near hundred zhang (333 m) size, just like five giant beasts to lie to bend down generally before Sky Reaching Peak general. 广场中央,五座漆黑巨石堆砌而成的高台一字排开,每一座高台都有丈许高,近百丈大小,犹如五头巨兽一般趴伏在凌天峰前一般。 At this moment around the stage, called sufficiently on is monster mountain Yaohai, everywhere was Monster Race that the appearance varied. 在高台周围,此刻足以称的上是妖山妖海,到处都是模样各异的妖族。 In these Monster Race, situated in most surrounding, mostly not yet Houtian cultivation base following Monster Beast, the dhole evildoers leopard, birds and beasts have, but is in the middle position relatively, is the part melts Xiantian above Monster Race, although the head was still beast head, but the body has actually been possible to change into the human form. 这些妖族中,处于最外围的,大多是尚未化形的后天修为以下的妖兽,其中豺狼虎豹,飞禽走兽都有,而相对处于中间位置的,则是部分化形的先天以上妖族,虽然头颅仍是兽首,但身体却已可化为人形了。 But in all directions, still had to have Monster Race to continue to well up unceasingly toward square here, makes here bustling, is seemingly extremely busy. 而四面八方,仍有不断有妖族继续朝广场这里涌来,使得这里熙熙攘攘,看起来热闹非凡。 Under Sky Reaching Peak, with open areas between five high stage , the minute/share that 700-800 shape Monster Race distinguish right from wrong makes three, or stands or stands. 在凌天峰下,与五座高台之间的空地上,700-800名化形妖族泾渭分明的分作三处,或站或立。 Here space is open, holds these 700-800 Monster Race seems like has more than enough to spare, even so, without other Monster Race, dares to approach here. 这里空间开阔,容纳这700-800名妖族看起来是绰绰有余,但即便如此,也没有其他妖族,敢靠近这里。 Because these three Monster Race, impressively are now in Western Continent 72 Monster Race, strength most powerful moon/month bear, day fox, dark green ape three clans, but Patriarch of this three clan, has achieved the Heaven Rank rank in legend now, can be called is the true monster king. 因为这三处妖族,赫然是当今西贺大陆七十二支妖族中,实力最强盛的月熊,天狐,苍猿三族,而此三族的族长,如今都已达到传说中的天位级别,称得上是真正的妖王。 Other surroundings Monster Race often look to here vision, is full of the awe, dreads the meaning. 周围其余妖族不时望向这里的目光,充满着敬畏,忌惮之意。 Time points pasts, the Monster Race quantity of as in all directions gathering are getting more and more, in the giant square besides three big Monster Race in the region, had been stopped up watertight. 时间一点点过去,随着四面八方汇聚过来的妖族数量越来越多,巨大广场中除了三大妖族所在区域外,已被堵得水泄不通。 The surrounding noisy sound also gets stronger and stronger, in all Monster Race eyes full is the exciting color. 周围的嘈杂之声也随之愈演愈烈,所有妖族眼中都满是兴奋之色。 Is approaching the rightmost stage somewhere, Monster Race of more than ten person snake heads is crowding around a tall Monster Race guy, Snake Clan this time various monster who participates in Body Transformation Great Ceremony. 在靠近最右边高台的某处,十余名人身蛇首的妖族簇拥着一名身材高大的妖族大汉,正是地蛇族此次参加化形大典的诸妖。 „How does Qing Cang this boy disappear?” And a Qing Cang clansman said suddenly. “擎沧这小子怎么不见了？”其中一个擎沧族人突然说道。 „Just, just with not losing.” Another person said. “刚刚还在呢,不会是刚刚跟丢了吧。”另一人说道。 „Celebrates the elder, can send people to look?” Previously a person asked. “庆长老,要不要派人去找找？”先前一人问道。 „Grand ceremony was about to start, no matter first this boy, not in also good, avoid gave us Snake Clan to lose face!” celebrate Hong curls the lip, said. “大典快开始了,先不管这小子了,不在也好,省得给我们地蛇族丢人！”庆洪撇了撇嘴,如此说道。 ...... …… When Sun finally close to center position, scalding hot sunlight unscrupulous declines from the upper air on soaring to the heavens vertical Sky Reaching Peak, reflects dazzling rays of light. 当太阳终于靠近正中位置,灼热的阳光肆无忌惮的从高空中落在冲天而立的凌天峰上,反射出刺目的光芒。 In the meantime, on Sky Reaching Peak somewhere, light flashed, jumps out together the form suddenly. 就在此时,凌天峰上某处,蓦然光芒一闪,从中窜出一道身影。 A tumbling after midair, falls suddenly. 在半空中一个翻滚后,蓦然落下。 At this moment, presented all Monster Race to look at the vision, silent piece. 这一刻,在场所有妖族纷纷将目光望了过去,现场寂静一片。 That form speed strange quick, the time, then fell in a giant smooth great rock before Sky Reaching Peak suddenly. 那个身影速度奇快,眨眼功夫,便落在了凌天峰前的一块巨大的平坦巨岩上。 Coming the person is one is slender, wears the old man of azure long gown, the cheekbone stands tall and erect, chin relieving, except that the appearance is somewhat strange, with average man not different. 来人是一个身材颀长,身着青色长袍的老者,颧骨高耸,下巴后缩,除了模样有些古怪,与常人无异。 In this time, three big Monster Race 700-800 are calling Monster Race in abundance with one voice shouts out: 正在此时,三大妖族700-800鸣妖族纷纷齐声大喝: „Pays a visit Green Ape King!” “拜见苍猿王！” „Pays a visit Green Ape King!” Around the square, the part has melted the shape the mouth to spit Monster Race similarly in abundance shouts out of criticism/human language, shouted acoustic shock gravel valley, prolonged. “拜见苍猿王！”广场周围,已然部分化形可以口吐人言的妖族同样纷纷大喝,喊声震砾山谷,经久不绝。 Most peripheral these still had not melted Monster Beast, then crawls in abundance in the place, bows politely toward the middle. 最外围那些尚没有化形的妖兽,则纷纷匍匐在地,朝中间叩拜。 After the Green Ape King vision swept an entire square slowly, slowly announced: 苍猿王目光徐徐扫了一遍整个广场后,才缓缓的宣布道: „, Also to the period of once every ten years Body Transformation Great Ceremony......”( to be continued.) “诸位,又到了十年一度的化形大典之期……”(未完待续。)
