Chapter 1240: The Flying Bug Above

Ice Storm’s hair stood on end as well.
This ice queen, who stood in the Blood Skull Arena, stepped on the bones and squished flesh. Facing the bull, which was several times bigger than her, and even the giant elephant, she did not even bat an eyelid.
At that moment, she tried her best to curl up in the shadows within the deep cave, covering the trembling from her head to toe.
When the bone-piercing frost flowed along her tailbone all the way to the top of her head, the strange p.r.i.c.kling feeling made Ice Storm realize in shock…
She was actually afraid.
No, of course, he was not afraid of the strange spontaneous combustion of the ‘platinum embrace’in front of him, but..
“What are you thinking about?”
Opposite the pale human-shaped ashes, Meng Chao glanced at her.
Obviously, he had also sensed her peculiarity.
“I’m thinking that ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s is really too terrifying.”
Icestorm smiled bitterly, “At first, I was like everyone else. I thought that he was just lucky and received the favor of the Lion King’s Horn of destruction. At the same time, he was extremely despicable and shameless. In order to protect his pitiful power, he was willing to sacrifice the lives of a large number of wolf warriors to satisfy the Lion King’s insatiable appet.i.te. Only then would he be able to sit firmly on the throne of the so-called ‘Wolf King’.
“All in all, he is an out-and-out villain and a coward. He is the kind of person that the Tulan people look down on the most.
“However, after the personal experiences of the past few days and the last words of the platinum embrace, I realized that you were not wrong. The ambition and ability of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s far exceeds everyone’s imagination. Perhaps, he is the most terrifying existence in the entire Tulan. He can’t even be compared to ‘horn of destruction’and ‘Blade of Fury’!
“He clearly had the ability to secretly nurture such a large-scale rebel army like the Great Horn Legion.
“He clearly created a batch of personal guards who were no less skilled than the lion and tiger warriors.
“He clearly had the ability to integrate the Wolf clan.
“He even obtained a large amount of information about the temple of the sacred mountain.
“Ca.n.u.s the jackal was still able to lurk in the shadows and kowtow to the Lion King and Tiger King. He endured all the way until this moment before suddenly erupting… I’ve really never heard of any warrior, general, or commander in the past thousands of years in the history of Turanze who possessed the temperament and means of this corpse-eating hound.
“And that’s not all.
“Although he successfully provoked the conflict between the lion and tiger clans in Crimson Gold City, ‘Jackwolf’Ka.n.u.s’s goal is still far from being achieved.
“Even if he succeeds for a moment, as long as either the Lion King or the Tiger King successfully obtains the sacred mountain’s inheritance and returns magnificently, they will be able to crush him to death like a bug.
“Therefore, once the corpse-eating dog’s scheme is triggered, he will have no other choice but to break into the sacred mountain and compete with the Lion King and the Tiger King!
“It’s easy to say, but that is the horn of destruction and the blade of fury!
“Even in the lion and tiger clans, where experts are constantly appearing, they are born with the blessings of the ancestors. The son of Fate, who is rarely seen in a thousand years, is an existence that can lead all the Tulan people to prosperity or decline!
“Ca.n.u.s the Jackal, who was born in the weakest settlement of the Wolf Clan and whose bloodline is only slightly more n.o.ble than the rat people, actually has such arrogant confidence and courage. He has confirmed that he is more qualified, more capable, and more hopeful than the Horn of destruction and the blade of Fury to inherit the power from the stars when facing the first batch of heroic spirits of the Tulan ancestors who descended from the sky in the temple of the sacred mountain?
“This is really…”
Icestorm opened his mouth a few times and gestured a few more times, but he still couldn’t accurately describe his shock, fear, hatred, admiration, and even admiration for “Jackal”ka.n.u.s, it was a mixture of emotions.
If it was said that when Meng Chao first exposed the conspiracy of “Jackal”ka.n.u.s, icestorm still had a slight dislike for the wolf king who hid in the dark, controlled the ancient Dream Saintess from afar, and caused the “Great Horn Rebellion.” It was certain that the Wolf King was a treacherous villain who hid his head and showed his tail, stirring up trouble.
At this moment, the instinctive disgust that would arise when faced with a slimy poisonous snake was like a fog when the sun rose. It instantly vanished into thin air.
No matter how one evaluated the conspiracy and ambition of “Jackal”ka.n.u.s.
He was someone who dared to barge into the sacred mountain and fight to the death with the most powerful figures like “Horn of destruction”and “Violent blade”who had not been seen in a thousand years, using his life as a stake and his future as a bargaining chip.
It was definitely not a simple word that could be used to describe them.
“It’s like we are all ants that are stuck in a quagmire. Whether it’s the Horn of destruction or the blade of fury, they are all ants that are larger in size and fiercer in temperament. No matter how fierce the biting between ants is, we will never be able to get out of the Quagmire.”
The ice storm finally found a suitable metaphor to describe his feelings, “As for ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s, for some reason, he jumped out of the Quagmire and turned into a flying insect hovering in midair. He can see the battlefield and the entire world from a higher level that none of us can see.
“No, not just a higher level. He seems to be able to foresee the future and see his trip to the Holy Mountain clearly. He will definitely win a great victory and return with a full reward.
“Otherwise, I really don’t know how this zombie dog will summon up the courage to fight against the Horn of destruction and the blade of Fury!”
Ice storm muttered to himself.
Gradually, the image of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s, which was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, was drawn in her mind.
A few days ago, when she was rescuing the ancient Dream Saintess, she had also suffered the invasion of the nightmare’s brain waves. She had vaguely seen the illusion of the ‘Zombie Rat G.o.d’.
Of course, she knew that the zombie rat G.o.d was fake.
However, ‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s was real. He gradually merged with the image of the Zombie Rat G.o.d in her mind and revealed a mysterious smile in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, this made the female snow leopard warrior, who had ice floating in her veins, Shiver.
“Indeed.”
Meng Chao felt the same way.
As someone who had been reborn at the end of the world, no one in Turanze knew better than him how terrifying ca.n.u.s the Jackal was.
It could be said that no matter how terrifying the ice storm imagined this ghoul dog, it was far from being one-tenth as terrifying as ca.n.u.s the jackal himself.
However, Meng Chao would never be discouraged by this.
He had already come this far.
He had already made a crucial change.
He had obtained enough information that could be fatal.
He had already narrowly beaten ca.n.u.s the jackal.
Next, wasn’t he going to step onto the most dangerous arena and fight the Doomsday Wolf, who would command the entire chaos faction in the future, with all his wisdom, courage, and Luck?
Win or lose.
At the very least, the outcome could not be worse than the future in his previous life.
At the thought of this, an indestructible belief condensed in Meng Chao’s heart.
He suddenly stood up and picked up the metal cylinder that could lock onto life from the depths of the sacred mountain from the Ashes. After examining it carefully for a while, he threw it aside.
Like the totem armor, the thing seemed to require the totem power of a special frequency or an astronomical amount of spiritual energy. Otherwise, it could only be activated by soaking in a super concentrated secret medicine.
The life force that had just locked onto the platinum embrace seemed to have exhausted its reserve energy, turning it into an ordinary piece of iron at the moment.
The totem armor left behind by the platinum embrace that had fallen into hibernation due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy was not the focus of Meng Chao’s attention at the moment, either.
He slapped away the ashes on his fingertip and grasped the shining lion tooth that the platinum embrace had entrusted to him in his palm.
His Bright Eyes seemed to pierce through the thick mountain rocks and had long shot towards the summit of the sacred mountain.
“Don’t be nervous.”
He said confidently, “Even if ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s can really calculate everything, he will definitely not be able to calculate my plan!”
“OH.”
However, ice storm said, “But, how do you know that the one I’m most nervous about is ‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s and not you?”
“What?”
Meng Chao was somewhat stunned.
“‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s is like a flying insect hovering over a quagmire. He can clearly see the movements of all the ants in the quagmire, but he can’t see your existence. Instead, you can clearly see his flight trajectory and even predict where he will fly to next. So, what exactly are you? A flying insect that can fly higher and see farther than ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s?”
Ice storm stared at Meng Chao in the dark and said, “If I should be afraid of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s, shouldn’t I Be More Afraid of You?”
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh.
She was able to escape the pursuit of the holy light camp as a mixed-blood and a witch’s daughter. She came to Tulanze alone and hid her ident.i.ty. She hid in the b.l.o.o.d.y skull arena for two years and collected a large amount of information about the gold clan, it was not until the last moment that he revealed some flaws in the woman.
She was indeed not a valiant warrior who only knew how to make a living by relying on frost and claws!
“It seems that our cooperation has improved another level. Before entering the Holy Mountain, we must reveal more secrets to each other to ensure our sincere cooperation?”Meng Chao asked Sincerely.
“Your target is indeed the Holy Mountain!”
Ice storm was not surprised at all, but she frowned deeply. “Are you crazy?”
Meng Chao did not answer. Instead, he looked at her calmly.
“I know that you may have a mysterious power that is beyond the understanding of the Tulan people, but do you know what kind of place the Holy Mountain is exactly?”
“Of course not.”icestorm gnashed his teeth. “Let’s not talk about it for now. The elite soldiers of the Horn of destruction and the blade of fury, as well as the hidden strength of ‘Jackwolf’ka.n.u.s, should have entered the depths of the Holy Mountain one after another.
“Let’s not talk about the various seals and killing machines that were left when the army of Holy Light left the Holy Mountain three thousand years ago during the era of the great extermination order.
“Not to mention that the temple of the sacred mountain is definitely equipped with traps and curses that can turn outsiders into ashes.
“The sacred mountain itself is a complicated and ever-changing maze. If one barges into it recklessly without a map, one will not be able to reach their destination or escape even if one circles around inside for decades!
“If one has thousands of soldiers and horses, or at least hundreds of exploration teams, and they can coordinate with each other from afar, together with the notes and footprints of the predecessors, they might be able to tear apart the fog and find the right path.
“Then, just the two of us, if we are to enter the sacred mountain rashly, is it any different from sending ourselves to our deaths?”
Meng Chao listened quietly and did not refute the concerns of the ice storm. He even nodded slightly from time to time, agreeing with the other party.
In the end, he said, “The first few points are indeed a little troublesome. For a moment, I haven’t thought of a good solution.
“However, the maze of the Sacred Mountain is not a big problem because I still have a detailed map of the entire sacred mountain.”
“What?”
Icestorm raised his voice and asked in surprise, “You have a map of the sacred mountain? where is it?”
Meng Chao looked at the ice storm and said calmly, “It’s on you.”
