Legend of the Great Sage

Why don’t we just leave them here? They’ll rot away in less than ten days!” Xianghua Man widened her eyes.
There were several hundred corpses here.
If she were supposed to bury them all, how large of a pit did she have to dig?

“Be good, or you’ll turn into a monster!” Li Qingshan said in an unconcerned manner and made his way into the depths of the fort.
Originally, he had mentioned it thoughtlessly, but since he had said it, it would be an order.
He had gone to such great lengths to extract the life force so that she could recover her youth and increase her strength.
Was he supposed to just provide for her for free?

“Yes!” Xianghua Man nodded immediately.

Li Qingshan made it to the end of the fort and gazed over.
An ancient totemic diagram was carved into the rock face.
There were only a few strokes, but it was vivid, spilling with artistic charm.
It was shaped like a tiger, but it seemed even more vicious.
It had a pair of wings on its back, which did bear some resemblance to the tiger demon.
However, the tiger demon was purely battle intent and killing intent, while the totemic diagram possessed a sense of deep malice, opening its mouth as if it were trying to swallow people whole.

If he had guessed correctly, this was the Bone Eating tribe’s altar.
It vaguely gave off a shocking power, which was the result of countless years of worship from the Bone Eating tribe.

Li Qingshan pressed his hand against the rock face gently, and immediately, the totemic diagram sprang alive.
It glared at him viciously, and with a roar, it leapt off the rock face.

“Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell!” Li Qingshan bellowed.

With that, the vicious totemic beast collided heavily against the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell.

Bang!

Cracks appeared on the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell!

“What power! This is the Bone Eating tribe’s strongest trump card! They actually have something like a guardian beast, and its strength nears Daemon General! Fortunately, they didn’t activate it, or I really might be in some trouble!”

Clang!

The Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell shattered!

Li Qingshan unfurled his wings and took off into the air.
The totemic beast flapped its wings too, chasing after him closely.
However, after reaching several hundred meters into the air, it no longer took a step further.
Clearly, it could not travel too far away from the altar.

Li Qingshan studied the beast.
Sure enough, it seemed like a vicious, black tiger, constantly swinging its claws at him.

The totemic beast growled for a while before returning to the rock face.
Li Qingshan exhaled gently, and his breath slammed against it viciously.
The totemic beast lunged back, waving its claws and baring its fangs.
It obviously could not reach Li Qingshan.

Whenever the totemic beast tried to return to the altar, Li Qingshan would disturb it.
This went on for over two hours, and the totemic beast gradually faded before vanishing completely.

Li Qingshan arrived before the altar and threw a punch at the rock.
The rock face shattered, and rubble crumbled down.
There was a shiny flash, and Li Qingshan reached in to take a look at it.
It was a shiny skull that resembled both a human and a beast’s, glistening under the sunlight.
He had sensed that the altar was hiding something right from the beginning, which was why he went so far to deal with the totemic beast.

He looked back and asked, “What is this?”

“This seems to be the skull of the Bone Eating tribe’s ancestor!” Xianghua Man was currently making her way over.

“Didn’t you say they ate their predecessors?”

“This is a Bone Eating shaman who’s undergone the heavenly tribulation.
It’s probably too tough.
No one can bite through it!”

“There are other Bone Eating tribes?” Li Qingshan brought the skull to his nose and sniffed it, sinking into his thoughts.

“Of course.
The Mist province is littered with Bone Eating shamans.
There are tribes of all different sizes! This one is only average in size.
It’s said that large Bone Eating tribes have thousands of Bone Eating barbarians!”

Li Qingshan said, “Then I’ll have to take a look for myself in the future!”
