Chapter 2353: Plotting for the Imperial Stage
After the Ghost Mother entered the stone pool, Qin Sang and Jin Liuying left the Purple Bamboo Forest. According to the plan, they would first create some illusions that Jin Liuying was active on Dengbao Mountain. Then Qin Sang would help her complete the most difficult level, and then go to the Emperor's Platform to meet with the Void Butterfly.
The two of them turned back and went down the mountain. Qin Sang took the firefly and flew between the peaks, deliberately leaving many traces.
After doing this, they headed towards their target.
All the peaks on Dengbao Mountain have no names, and the Wu tribe is accustomed to calling them by direction and order. For example, the one they are going to now is the thirteenth peak from the east, so it is named the Thirteen Peaks of the East.
When he was at the main peak, Qin Sang could see the thirteen peaks to the east. The mountain was flat and not conspicuous among the other peaks.
The two of them flew and arrived at the Thirteen Peaks in the east.
From afar, Qin Sang felt the presence of several witches nearby, all heading towards the Thirteen Peaks in the east.
Before they started climbing the mountain, Qin Sang and Jin Liuying smelled the rich fragrance of flowers. They looked and saw clusters of flowers on the thirteen peaks in the east. From the foot of the mountain to the top, it was an endless sea of flowers.
There are too many exotic flowers and plants here to count, and each one is extremely tall, as tall as the big trees in other jungles. It is simply a forest of flowers.
What’s even more peculiar is that among the flowers, there are groups of bees and butterflies busy collecting nectar.
The witch clan had moved all living creatures out of the holy mountain long ago. Now on Dengbao Mountain, besides the witch, there were only Qin Sang and the Void Butterfly. They had been here for so long and hadn't heard even a single insect chirping, yet there were so many bees and butterflies here.
'Buzzing...'
Bees and butterflies flock together, competing to collect nectar, flying back and forth between the sea of flowers and the mountain top, as if they are never tired.
It seems that their nest is on the top of the mountain. Qin Sang looked there and remembered the scene he saw on the main peak. The top of the thirteen peaks in the east is different from the other peaks. There is a big lake there. I wonder what secrets are hidden in the lake.
“These don’t seem to be spirit insects?”
Jin Liuying took a closer look and noticed something strange.
Qin Sang nodded and said, "Although they are vivid and lifelike, they are definitely not real spirit insects. I don't know how they were created. Although the spirit insects are fake, the nectar is real. They have no life or death, and they are tireless. Picking nectar is their only destiny..."
As they were talking, they saw a figure flash at the foot of the mountain.
The witch had a round face and a petite and cute figure, but she had a capable temperament. She was very alert, and her figure appeared for a moment before disappearing into the sea of flowers, disappearing without a trace.
In Qin Sang's eyes, this witch had nowhere to hide. At this moment, she was hiding behind a flower tree, her whole body blending into the tree, lying there motionless.
If someone follows at this time, this woman can easily find him and take the initiative.
She was very patient and waited for a long time but saw no sign of any pursuers before she started climbing the mountain.
Flying through the flowers, groups of bees and butterflies brushed past her, all ignoring her. She gradually relaxed, sometimes even stretching out her fingers to tease the bees.
This was certainly not for fun, but to try to extract some useful information from these bees and butterflies. Halfway up the mountain, she spotted a small group of bees, mobilized her true energy, trapped the group of bees, and brought them in front of her.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that some black spots had grown on the bodies of these bees. These black spots spread rapidly and connected with each other, and soon turned into black bees.
Their body shape has not changed, but their temperament is completely different, and they have become ferocious killer bees!
She suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale. She threw the group of black bees away and turned around to run away.
In an instant, a buzzing sound was heard.
The black spots seemed to be contagious, and the bees and butterflies around her turned into black bees and black butterflies. They turned around in unison, and countless eyes stared at her.
'boom! ’
Countless black bees and black butterflies swooped towards her, and the sky was covered with a mad swarm of bees and butterflies.
At this time, people outside the mountain saw a black cloud suddenly appear on the mountain. There was a faint light flickering inside the black cloud, but it was soon submerged by the black cloud. I don’t know if the light had been extinguished.
Then the black cloud floated from halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, a figure rushed out from it and staggered out of the mountain.
Jin Liuying couldn't help but gasp. The originally lovely witch now had tattered robes and her head swollen like a pig's head. Not only was her face disfigured, but she was also seriously injured. Fortunately, the black bees and butterflies were under some kind of restraint and could not leave the Thirteen Peaks of the East, so she saved her life.
But before the witch could rejoice, her whole body suddenly tightened and a long whip like a spirit snake clamped around her waist.
"Please, don't kill me..."
Her face was filled with fear and she begged for mercy, but the owner of the whip remained unmoved. The tip of the whip transformed into a snake head, which bit her throat accurately and sucked her flesh and blood.
In a moment, the witch turned into a dried corpse covered with skin and bones.
'Snapped! '
The long whip was retracted, and a tall woman walked out of the forest. After hesitating for a moment, she walked up the mountain.
Qin Sang and Jin Liuying saw the whole scene.
This was considered the most difficult level by the Ghost Mother, and Suqin-san escorted Jin Liuying. The witch who died was not weak, but she underestimated the danger here and died miserably.
"Let's go up too..."
Qin Sang roughly figured out the pattern, and called Jin Liuying to go up the mountain, taking the same route as the tall woman.
The tall woman turned the whip into a snake and controlled the snake to explore the way ahead. Suddenly, her heart tightened inexplicably and she realized that she had ignored what was behind her. She broke out in a sweat and turned around and shouted.
"get out!"
'Shuh! '
The snake turned around, opened its mouth wide, and pounced on a flowering tree.
A figure suddenly appeared on the tree branch, and then a black gold light flashed. There was a "clang" sound, and the spirit snake seemed to hit a solid wall and was almost bounced away.
Seeing the face behind the black gold light, the tall woman's expression changed slightly, "It's you!"
The priestess of Taihao clan has always been the most formidable opponent of other clans, and this time Taihao clan made an exception and only sent out one priestess, making Jin Liuying even more eye-catching.
When the tall woman recognized her, she immediately wanted to retreat, but this level was crucial. If she could come out on top, it would definitely give her a lot of extra points, so she was reluctant to retreat like this.
Thinking that even if she was not the opponent, she should have no problem protecting herself, the tall woman made up her mind, sneered, took the spirit snake in her hand, and transformed it into a soft long whip, which she swung out lightly.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that there was another person watching the fight on a nearby flower tree.
If you want Jin Liuying to distance herself from the matter, it is not enough to just leave some traces. You also need to find her a few opponents and fight with her.
The outcome of this battle was already determined. Qin Sang turned his gaze and looked at Jin Liuying's wrist. There lay a silkworm, its entire body black and gold in color. It was Jin Liuying's new natal spirit insect.
"This spiritual silkworm is called the Black Gold Silkworm. My master specially picked it for me. He said it is also a spiritual silkworm and may be able to absorb some of the divine silkworm's blood..."
While fighting, Jin Liuying spoke through voice transmission.
Qin Sang couldn't help but think of that lazy guy again. Their farewell that year turned out to be a farewell forever. The parting gift that guy gave him was also destroyed by him, and he felt a little sorry for it.
The two women fought fiercely, and the tall woman soon felt exhausted. She was horrified. She didn't expect the gap between them to be so big. She didn't know that Jin Liuying had helpers. In order to speed up the time, Qin Sang secretly took advantage of the situation. The tall woman didn't notice it at all and just thought that she was not strong enough.
'Snapped! '
The whip shadow trembled and suddenly shook violently.
The tall woman was horrified to find that a black golden silkworm had appeared on the whip, exactly at the seven-inch position.
The long whip was out of control, and to make matters worse, the waves of attacks from the fireflies came like a tide, and the tall woman was severely injured, spurting blood from her mouth. In panic, she desperately ran for her life. In the end, although she escaped, she was also seriously injured and could no longer participate in the battle between the witches.
After defeating the tall woman, the two continued to climb up. The mountain did not look high, but every step was thrilling. While most of the other witches were still hesitating, Qin Sang had already brought Jin Liuying to the top of the mountain.
They stood by the lake, the lake below was like a mirror, and under their feet was a steep cliff, hundreds of feet above the lake. The cliff was densely packed with holes, which were the nests of bees and butterflies. Standing here, they could not only smell the fragrance of flowers, but also the rich fragrance of honey.
This time, Jin Liuying and her friends' mission is to pick a jar of nectar from these countless nests, and the one with the highest quality wins.
There are more than ten thousand kinds of magical flowers in the mountains, which can produce countless kinds of nectar. How to mix the highest quality nectar not only tests their eyesight, but also their courage. Once someone breaks into the nest and is discovered by these bees and butterflies, they will be besieged. The fate of the witch before is still vivid in everyone's mind, and everyone has only one chance.
With Qin Sang here, these are not a problem.
After flying around the top of the mountain, Qin Sang had a plan in mind. Then, Jin Liuying carefully climbed down the cliff, and Qin Sang controlled her remotely to stir up trouble here.
Sometimes a group of black bees rushed out from the east, and sometimes a group of butterflies flew up from the north. The surface of the lake was turned upside down. A figure was moving between the gaps between these black bees and black butterflies, like a ghost, going in and out of the nest. When it finally rushed out, it was followed by a group of pursuers.
When Jin Liuying rushed out of the lake, the pursuers retreated one after another, and this level was completed. Looking at the full crystal honey pot in his hand, Jin Liuying sighed in his heart. Although Qin Sang was escorting him, he still felt extremely thrilling.
It wasn't the highest quality nectar, but it was enough to ensure she outshined the other miko.
Putting away the honey pot, Jin Liuying sent a voice message to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
Qin Sang smiled and said, "Let's go. Senior Xukongdie must be getting tired of waiting."
Jin Liuying nodded, turned around and went down the mountain. On the way, she met a witch. This woman witnessed what had just happened on the top of the mountain, so she dared not to stop him and quickly retreated. Jin Liuying did not make things difficult for her.
From the Thirteen Peaks in the East back to the Main Peak, Qin Sang helped Jin Liuying complete several levels with great efficiency.
We climbed up the main peak again. We were familiar with the route and soon returned to the bamboo forest. We walked up for a while and suddenly a butterfly appeared in front of us.
"You are finally here..."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time," Qin Sang said to Jin Liuying, "This is Senior Xu Kongdie."
"Junior greets senior," Jin Liuying bowed hurriedly.
"Are you the witch of Taihao clan?"
Void Butterfly seemed a little surprised. It looked up and down at Jin Liuying, then snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"I wonder if the stairs to heaven are still there?" Qin Sang was most concerned about the retreat.
"The ruins still exist, but we don't know what the inside looks like," Void Butterfly said lightly. Time was tight and she couldn't afford to explore carefully. She only walked around the edge of the ruins.
The gods no longer exist, and the stairs to heaven have been destroyed, losing their original power and status. The witch clan does not attach much importance to the ruins, so she can enter the ruins, otherwise there will be some twists and turns.
"If something unexpected happens..."
Qin Sang glanced at Jin Liuying beside him and asked, "Can we take her with us?"
This time the ghost mother went into seclusion unexpectedly, and they plotted to take over the imperial throne before fleeing, leaving only Jin Liuying alone.
If they succeed in stealing the Emperor's pulp without being discovered by the powerful witch clan, he and the Void Butterfly can escape from the holy land first, and then they will have plenty of time to plan and try to take the Cinder Firefly away from Taihao.
If the truth is revealed and they escape, the witch clan will search the holy land. It will be too dangerous for Jin Liuying to stay. Are the tricks that the ghost mother left for Jin Liuying reliable? Can they get Liuying out?
The best way is to take her with you.
Void Butterfly glanced at Jin Liuying and said, "Sure, as long as you are not afraid of death."
Qin Sang only realized after listening to Void Butterfly's explanation that the reason they were able to use the Stairs to Heaven to escape was because of the Stairs to Heaven's special spatial power.
In ancient times, Dengbao Mountain connected mortals and gods, and had extraordinary powers. The magical power of the Void Butterfly was just enough to use the remaining power of the Stairs to Heaven to lead them to escape from Dengbao Mountain and get rid of the pursuers.
But the Stairs to Heaven had been destroyed, and the ruins were filled with chaotic space power and turbulent storms. But that was fine, their whereabouts were exposed, and they would surely attract attacks from the powerful witches. In this case, it would be difficult for the Void Butterfly to protect them.
With Qin Sang's strength, he still has the ability to protect himself, but Jin Liuying is doomed to die.
Of course, these dangers can be avoided. Qin Sang can let her enter the small cave, but the most troublesome thing is the campfire mark between Jin Liuying's eyebrows.
This bonfire mark is a mark formed by the ancient secret technique of the witch clan. It can only be unlocked through the altar. Even the Ghost Mother can only use it but cannot crack it.
They brought the fireflies with them, which was equivalent to guiding the direction for the witch clan. Once the sky witch was dispatched and cast a spell to sense it personally, the void butterfly would not be able to isolate it, and Qin Sang's small cave would naturally be unable to do so.
Qin Sang sighed, "Please lead the way, senior."
The Void Butterfly wrapped the two of them in gray light and flapped its wings to fly up. The two of them only felt the scenery in the mountains passing by like flowing light and rushing towards the top of the mountain at a very fast speed.
The dangers along the way were no obstacle to the Void Butterfly, which was simply a magical skill. Qin Sang couldn't help but look forward to it when he thought that the Sky Eye Butterfly might also have the magical power of the Void Butterfly.
"arrive!"
Qin Sang and Jin Liuying were thrown out. The Void Butterfly landed on Jin Liuying's shoulder and ordered her to activate the campfire mark and move forward.
What lies before my eyes is a chaotic jungle of thorns. Is the imperial throne hidden here?
Qin Sang followed curiously and went deep into the thorns under the protection of the campfire mark.
Void Butterfly exclaimed, "There are still Su Tiao here. This kind of spiritual herb was used by the Wu clan in ancient times to make spiritual arrows to defeat enemies. It is also very beneficial to spiritual insects. You can collect some."
