Chapter 357 Signs of the Beast Not all areas of Tianding Mountain are restricted it is collectively called the Zenith Mountains, it has three mountain belts at the geographical level, named: Zenith Mountains, Eastern Zenith Mountains and Central Zenith Mountains. These three mountain ranges together constitute the Zenith Mountain in the public's impression, among which the restricted area specifically refers to the deepest and highest Zhongzenith Mountain Range. To get to the Central Zenith Mountains from Andemirye, one needs to cross the Zenith Mountains, which have the lowest average altitude, and pass through the Eastern Zenith Mountains before reaching the main goal of this trip. In the Tiandi Mountains and the Eastern Zenith Mountains, the Sanctuary has established many outpost camps that can provide certain assistance for their journey. For a team composed of a group of confused believers, normal progress would not take too much effort. Therefore, this section of the journey is also a preliminary running-in period, if it is really necessary. A team of more than ten people were marching in the mountains. At first, no one talked to each other and seemed to be indifferent. For a while, only the voice of Xiuman commanding and asking questions was heard in front of the team. Anti was also alone at the back of the team. He was the most casual-looking of the group, wearing the simplest recycled coat and waist bag, just like usual, but he didn't look like a member of the exploration team at all. The others were well-equipped, at least carrying backpacks with sufficient capacity.
Everyone in the exploration team has his or her own purpose for this trip. Since they are here to investigate, they always have to prepare some basic tools. Anti could feel a lot of gazes falling on him, there were some from time to time, almost endlessly. It seems that these people all know that Anti is a "transfer student". The team entered the Tiandi Mountains and found one of the outpost camps for a brief rest. For high-level believers, speed is not a concern. Before the real pressure comes, there is no need to push yourself too hard. At the same time, the teams dispersed around the camp. Although this is not the destination, the Tiandi Mountains are a branch of the Zenith Mountains after all. It is still mysterious to many forces and needs to be explored. Anti sat on a protruding rock outside the camp. At this time, the altitude had begun to rise. The view of the Tiandi Mountains was good, and he could overlook the vast land. "Mr. Anti." At this time, a man walked towards Anti. Anti didn't turn his head, but he already knew who it was. One of the five envoys from Blue Star, the representative of Hongya Administrative District, is named Tan Haishen. "Hello." Anti replied casually. "Hello, hello, I didn't expect you to join us." Tan Haishen briefly introduced himself, and his words sounded honest and sincere. An Ti took a look at him. He looked about the same height as his voice, with a square and round face. "I just happened to follow you and take a look." Anti said. Tan Haishen shook his head and said, "It took more than a year from the formation of this exploration team to the selection of personnel. Your temporary joining is enough to show how much the Sanctuary values you." Anti said, “My relationship with the Sanctuary has always been good.” Tan Haishen nodded and said, "I have also heard a lot about your deeds. Please take care of me on the rest of the journey." After a few polite words, he left. He just came to make himself familiar. Tan Haishen returned to the Blue Star representative team of five. They also wanted to take this opportunity to explore and collect some samples from the Tiandi Mountains.
"Tan, who is that person? He seems to be from Hongya as well?" said a black man in the team. "Yes, he is a returnee and has no experience on Blue Star." Tan Haishen answered while operating the tools in his hands. "Isn't that a person from the Dream Realm?" A blonde white woman next to him frowned. The Euro and Amei administrative districts generally have some resistance to the Mixed Dream Realm, which is related to the conflict situation when the Blue Star Mixed Dream Realm was first connected, because these two administrative districts have directly waged war against the Mixed Dream Realm. Relying on the half-baked miracle and some small and medium-sized weapons and equipment to fight in the dream world, they lost miserably. The specific situation is very complicated. Neither side of the war could be considered clean. In any case, to this day, the two administrative regions still have prejudices against the mixed dream world. Tan Haishen didn't say much, because he didn't know all the information about An Ti. He only went back to investigate after hearing that An Ti had temporarily joined a few days ago and felt that it sounded familiar. "Relax, guys, we are a team now." The black man looked optimistic and his hands were very skillful. The other two didn't say much, just glanced at Anti, and then their team of five left the camp and went to do their own things. And Anti waited for two more people. One of them was Xiuman, and the other was a middle-aged man with graying temples. He was wearing tight light armor and his head was still covered with a hood, as if he didn't like the light. There was a medal on the left shoulder of the armor, and there were five hideous claw marks on the medal. The middle-aged man is a representative from the Gulan Sacrifice Tower. "Mr. Anti, my name is Rafafar, the senior priest of the Gulan Sacrifice Tower and the Five-clawed Executioner." The middle-aged man introduced himself. Five-clawed Executioner is a position in the sacrificial tower, held by a group of powerful beast believers. They are specifically responsible for dealing with out-of-control beast believers in the tower and are the executioners within. He is considered one of the strongest people in the Gulan Sacrifice Tower. The person sent by the Gulan Sacrifice Tower on this mission turned out to be such a person. Anti felt something was unusual. The exploration team is not here just to "fight". In terms of combat, as long as one is a high-level believer with understanding, he or she can more or less fight, but in terms of exploration, an illiterate person with no skills will definitely not be able to do anything well. For example, Anti himself. He is not illiterate, but compared with the others in the exploration team, he is almost illiterate. In short, he is ready to be a thug. Could it be that Rafafar is a top student as appearances cannot judge a person? "I just happen to have something to discuss here with you, so we can get to know each other. It's related to the secret investigation in the next operation." Xiuman said to Anti. In addition to the Hand of Heaven and Earth and Lebanon, is there anything else to investigate in this exploration? Xiuman glanced at Rafafar and let him speak for himself. So Rafafar raised his head slightly and said: "The Sacrifice Tower is one of the last confirmed members to participate in this exploration team. My mission this time is not to participate in the exploration of history or other things, but for my job." He really is here just to be a thug. Anti raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are 'beasts' in Tianding Mountain?" "The beastmen have never completely disappeared. They still roam in the corners of the Chaos Dream Realm. Most of the time, they are not able to gain much influence, but when necessary, the Sacrifice Tower needs to be dispatched to cut off their minions." Rafafar first gave a brief summary, and then went into detail: "Not long ago, we detected unusual activities of the beasts in the mixed dream world while sniffing outside, and confirmed that intelligent beasts are uniting their forces, taking in half-orcs and training them into true beastmen." "After receiving the news, we, the Executioners, immediately went out. Although we destroyed several strongholds, we found that their actions were very organized and their attack on us was anticipated, so the mastermind was not caught. After further investigation, we confirmed that a large number of organized beastmen entered the Zenith Mountains a few months ago." "What are they going to do?" Anti asked. "I don't know. That's why I came here, to find out why the orcs suddenly showed their fangs again and to hunt them down." Rafafar said sternly.
This is much more serious than the first miracle guy who took out candy beans from somewhere and put them in his mouth to chew. (End of this chapter)
