Chapter 2260 The truth is revealed, monsters gather?
"One week?"
"Correct!"
Ao Long nodded and sighed, “Although our city wall can block intermediate and primary monsters, this year, since you killed a high-level monster, I’m afraid there will be his companions…”
"understood."
Ling Tian was not surprised by Ao Long's proposal.
In fact, this conjecture is very reasonable.
If you kill a high-level monster, the other high-level monsters will most likely think of revenge.
And the annual monster attacks that Ao Long mentioned are definitely the best opportunities.
only……
"I'm curious about something." Ling Tian looked at Ao Long: "Do your monster beast attacks happen at a fixed time every year? The same time every year?"
"Yes!" Ao Long nodded. "At least since I became the city lord, the monster beasts have been attacking on the same day every year. Most importantly, each monster beast attack will only last for three days. No matter what results they achieve within three days, they will retreat."
After these words were spoken, Ling Tian felt a little more doubtful.
Logically speaking, these monsters should have sensed that their attacks were about to fail and then retreated.
But the attacks only happen for three days, and at the same time every year. Could it be that...
Ling Tian quickly stood up, walked outside the house, and turned to look at the holy mountain that was looming in the distance.
Ao Long chased him out, followed his gaze for a while, and asked in confusion: "What's going on in this mountain?"
"That's called the Holy Mountain." Ling Tian pointed over there and said, "I found the high-level monster on the back of the mountain."
"The back of the mountain? That shouldn't be the case! There shouldn't be any demonic beasts on that mountain!"
"Ok?"
Ling Tian suddenly turned his head and looked at Ao Long: "You said, there is no breath of monsters on that mountain?"
"Yes, I sent someone to investigate before. They climbed to the top of the mountain, but didn't encounter any high-level monsters, not even elementary monsters."
"What about the mountain? Is there no one?!"
Ao Long shook his head: "No one, how could there be anyone on the mountain, brother, are you still asleep?"
After hearing Ao Long's words, Ling Tian's mind was completely confused and he was unable to react for a while.
Holy Mountain, from where he had only been back for less than a month.
Those people in the Holy Mountain Village at that time, and everything that happened on the mountain, and most importantly, the flesh and blood of the high-level monsters that he brought back, came from the Holy Mountain.
Could it be that all that was fake?!
It's impossible. The flesh and blood are still there, so it can't be fake.
Why?
After thinking for a moment, Ling Tian looked at Ao Long and said, "What if I say that I not only saw monsters in the mountains, but also humans?"
After that, he briefly recounted his experience.
After listening to this, Ao Long was also confused, obviously doubting the authenticity of Ling Tian's experiences.
But seeing Ling Tian's serious expression, he could only believe it for the time being and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Time passes little by little.
Neither of them spoke again.
After a long while, Ling Tiancai frowned and said, "Is it possible that the monsters that attacked the county city came from the Holy Mountain, and they can only come for three days every year because they only have so much time?"
"Then the people of the Holy Mountain Village don't know their own situation. They only know that they need to protect the Holy Mountain, so they have never left the mountain. All the secrets are behind the Holy Mountain."
After saying this, Ao Long's face was full of solemnity and he said: "You mean, only before the monster beast attacks can we see the true face of the holy mountain, and you..."
"It's possible." Ling Tian nodded: "If my guess is correct, the monsters that attacked the county town used to live behind the Holy Mountain, so they are not usually seen and will not attack the county town."
"No wonder!"
Ling Tian’s guess is undoubtedly the most reasonable.
Otherwise, how to explain the usually extremely quiet county town?
And every time, the monster attacks at precisely the right time.
Could it be that they have a leader?
This is even more ridiculous, so Ling Tian’s guess is the most reasonable.
"Do you think it's possible that there is a passage on the back of the Holy Mountain?" Ao Long looked at Ling Tian: "Or there may be something else, otherwise the secret of the Holy Mountain cannot be explained."
Hearing this, Ling Tian remained silent, but another guess flashed through his mind.
When they arrived behind the holy mountain, he, Lin Qi and Miaomiao all witnessed the painful sunlight.
In fact, at that time, although he had adapted to the situation, Ling Tian could clearly feel that the further he went behind the Holy Mountain, the lower the lethality of the sunlight.
So does this mean that the scorching sun is the way to prevent the monsters from coming to the holy mountain?
If that's true, then everything makes sense!
The more Ling Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, so he quickly stood up and said, "No, I have to go back to the Holy Mountain again!"
"what?"
Hearing this, Ao Long's face flashed with astonishment: "The county city is about to face an attack by monsters, and if the attack is over by then, and you can't come back, what will you do?"
"Then you can only come back next year!"
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Okay, I have to go to the Holy Mountain. I have to go to the back of the mountain. I really want to know what is there. When I come back, I will give you the flesh and blood of the high-level monster."
"Row."
Ao Long knew that he had no reason to stop him, so he didn't say much, but just said that he would prepare supplies for him.
In the evening, Lin Qi and Miao Miao came back. When they heard Ling Tian’s guess, they were both shocked, but no one backed down and both expressed their desire to go together.
Hearing this, Ling Tian agreed to take the two of them with him, and then the next morning, a luxury SUV arrived.
"This is the car I prepared for you." Ao Long pointed at the off-road vehicle and said, "There are supplies inside, enough for you to eat for two months. If you don't eat much, you can eat for half a year. Then, I prepared this for you."
As Ao Long was speaking, another car happened to arrive. Ling Tian looked over and discovered that the car was actually pulling two off-road motorcycles.
"I heard you say that it's hard to walk on the mountain, so I'm giving you this motorcycle to make it easier for you to go up the mountain and save a lot of time."
Seeing that Ao Long had prepared so much, Ling Tian smiled and nodded.
This kid, no matter what his purpose was, at least made himself less tired.
After everything was done, the luxurious off-road vehicle towed two motorcycles on a trailer and drove out of the county town.
When they reached the city wall, since Ao Long had given notice in advance, no one stopped them, allowing them to leave smoothly.
About five days later, Ling Tian rode a motorcycle with Miaomiao on board, while Lin Qi rode a motorcycle alone with supplies, and they finally arrived at the familiar path behind the holy mountain.
The equipment is powerful and it really saves a lot of time.
However, when they saw the scene in front of them, even though Ling Tian had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.
"This...this...a gathering of demonic beasts?!"
