There were numerous mountains that were connected with each other. They spread through the horizon like green waves in the broad forest.
Looking ahead, the mountains were steep and the ancient trees were tall and lush. It was really a deep mountain forest, showing the simple and unsophisticated scenery.
In such a deserted forest, birds and insects were happily singing and flowers were blooming - the fresh green forest gave a kind of faint fragrance as if it was decorating a picture scroll.
This was a place where almost no one had set foot in. But it also brought about numerous creatures, showing a sense of freshness and vitality.
At the foot of the mountain, the ground here was much flatter. There grew tall and strong trees as well as some low thicket. Dark green and light green were mixed with each other in this forest.
On this green land, there grew luxuriant gra.s.s and blooming flowers, attracting b.u.t.terflies to dance accompanied by some bees.
This mountain, which was tall and broad with a sense of solemnity, deserved people"s admiration.
Some bluestones were barely scattered at the foot of the mountain, in front of which there was a cave guiding to somewhere dark inside.
Around this cave, there were some people busily walking without rest, not knowing why they were so busy nor who they were working for.
The Black Killer brought Zhang Yunyan and the child to the entrance of the cave, letting out a deep sigh. He was constantly going rounds, wearing a pleasant expression on his face.
He glanced at Zhang Yunyan and happily said with a smile, "Little girl, here is where I live. Look at the mountains and you will find that they are tall and fantastic. They are too exciting."
Zhang Yunyan looked all around this place. It was beautiful and fantastic here indeed. But what a pity it was to be defiled and occupied by the Black Killer.
All of a sudden, the Black Killer frowned and his look became terrible. He glared at Yunyan with fury, but she even didn"t know what had happened.
It turned out that when he was in high spirits, he tore the skin at his left cheek and reopened the wound. So he snorted in pain.
He held his left cheek with his hand and gritted his teeth to hold back a painful groan, and then let out a sigh.
He viciously gazed at Zhang Yunyan and made a determined evil decision in his heart. "I will never easily forgive you, this evil little girl. I must torture you to death."
The Black Bear Demon let out a sigh of anger, and then he went rounds to see the beautiful scenery, which made him happy again.
He added, "This mountain didn"t have a name at the beginning. But it had one after I lived here. From then on, it was called the Black Tiger Mountain and its name had a similar original meaning with the t.i.tle "Black Killer". It was really a geomancy treasure trove. It is extraordinarily beautiful and has pleasant scenery. It can be called a land of idyllic beauty. No! It is actually a fairyland on earth. It is so beautiful that it makes me intoxicated."
Zhang Yunyan said nothing but still was going to make rounds. He was right that this was a good place to cultivate.
Having seen that Yunyan twitched her mouth, the Black Killer coldly said, "This little girl! Just enjoy the beautiful scenery while you still live. When you die, you will never have the chance to appreciate such beautiful scenery."
At this moment, Zhang Yunyan already had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but she was looking carefully at this strange place.
Looking at the busy people, she was confused about who they were and what relationship they had with the Black Killer.
There were men and women among the crowd. Also, there were some human-like creatures or monsters among them. Maybe they were monsters like the Black Killer.
They were moving stones and wood without rest. Yunyan didn"t know what they were doing and what relationship they had with the Black Killer.
She was too confused about this. Were they subordinates of the Black Bear Demon? Were they conducting their master"s order to build something?
Those human beings as well as those elves were just doing their business alone and didn"t talk to each other. They were too silent.
They didn"t even look at the Black Killer as if they weren"t acquainted with him. And it was as if they didn"t notice that there were several more people at this time.
Zhang Yunyan was puzzled. These human beings didn"t even say h.e.l.lo to the Black Killer, and they didn"t even look at him. Why were they so indifferent to their master and why did they dare to be so disrespectful?
However, Black Killer didn"t think that there was something wrong with them. He was also indifferent to them as if he didn"t have a relationship with them. They didn"t look like accomplices at all.
It was so strange. If they didn"t have a relationship with this Black Bear Demon, why were they here and what were they doing?
They were busy doing their business in front of the Black Killer"s cave. It could be said that they definitely had something to do with the Black Bear Demon, otherwise they couldn"t be allowed to work here.
These human beings and elves had special countenances. They were indifferent and didn"t a.s.sociate with each other as if they were strangers to each other. Similarly, they treated the Black Killer in an indifferent way and didn"t care about whether the Black Killer existed or not.
It was so weird. What was the relationship between them and the Black Bear Demon?
In this regard, Zhang Yunyan couldn"t guess. Well, it was another mystery.
Black Killer saw that Zhang Yunyan was still watching the busy people and elves with a confused look. And then he smiled in a very happy but cunning way.
He pointed to those busy people and showed a smirk, and said, "They were all caught by me, are being driven by me, and are working for me."
Zhang Yunyan was shocked. She didn"t think that the Black Killer was so strong, and that he had caught so many people and even extraordinary elves. It was terrible.
The Black Killer looked at the busy crowd with a sigh and said, "These guys were not ordinary people. Some of them were much stronger and better than you. Some of them could defeat me. However, they were still caught by me and controlled by me. Alas, the law of the jungle is the road to survival. It is true."
Zhang Yunyan was still puzzled. These people and elves were stronger than the Black Killer. Why didn"t they fight against the Black Killer together?
Just one of them could defeat this Black Bear Demon. But if they fought against him together, Black Killer was doomed to die. But, why didn"t they take action?
What was even more puzzling was the reason why they didn"t flee from here, not to mention the reason why they didn"t want to kill Black Killer.
All of them weren"t shackled by ropes and they could freely move. They could have easily escaped from here when the Black Killer was out.
Even now, they could still run. The Black Killer couldn"t chase them or hunt them, and he didn"t even dare hunt them. If he could escape from the elves, he would be considered fortunate.
However, these people and elves seemed to have no such intentions, and they were willing to be enslaved by monsters. It was really puzzling.
Looking at the people who were caught by the Black Killer, Zhang Yunyan was puzzled. They were so obedient and willing to work hard for the Black Killer. It was really hard to figure out the reason. It was incredible. But what was the reason?
This thing was indeed puzzling. These people and elves had excellent martial arts and they were not afraid of the Black Killer. But they were willing to listen to the monster"s orders and serve him. It was really hard to figure out the reason.
They knew that this was a land of death and that the Black Killer was an ogre. It was strange and ridiculous that they didn"t even resist or think of escaping.
She was too confused about it. But she couldn"t ask Black Killer for an answer, so she could only guess the reason.
The Black Killer looked at the beautiful girl with a sly look, and then let out a smirk of laughter.
Zhang Yunyan looked at the laughing monster with her eyebrows wrinkled. She didn"t know if this guy had any bad ideas and she also didn"t know what the monster would do.
In the face of the terrible Black Killer, she couldn"t help but think of the words of the monster, "Little girl... you have to serve me, and also contribute everything to me, including your life and body."
Her heart was shocked. Did this guy want to torture her?
