180 Meteor Plains
The first rays of the morning sun shone on the Meteor Plains. The basin that was surrounded by mountains on three sides was flat. Although it was between the mountains, the entire area was almost ten times the size of the Magical Beast Fortress. At this moment, it was exceptionally calm. A breeze blew over from the cold and hovered at the entrance of the basin. Perhaps it was because of the years of war but there were only bones left in the huge basin. Not a blade of grass grew.
“This direction happens to be facing the Northern Continent, and it also happens to be facing the Magical Beast Fortress. Therefore, every year when the Holy Spirit Ruins opens, what we have to do is to guard this exit and try our best to force the Magical Beasts to the other three sides. We have to let them spread out in the Magical Beast Forest. We can’t let them come out of this exit and enter the continent.”
When they arrived at their destination, Qin Yu patiently explained to Beiting Huang the elements of the magical beast rampage battle. “When the city lord comes, he will form a line and set up an array according to the strength of the people who are participating in the battle. The three mercenary groups and the city defense forces will always be at the front to resist the strongest magical beasts. As for the teams behind, with our front line to resist, the pressure will be less. Of course, the rewards will also be much less.”
Every year, the Magical Beast Rampage was actually the best hunting opportunity. The strong humans would join forces to hunt the Magical Beasts that appeared in large numbers. Magical Beasts’ bodies were all treasures. Fur, claws, magic nuclei, and so on were all valuable things. Therefore, the three mercenary groups would send their core teams over every year to take this opportunity to make a killing.
In order to maintain a team, one had to have money to back them up. In her previous life, Beiting Huang was also the leader of a mercenary group. Of course, she understood the way to survive.
After taking a look at the terrain, Beiting Huang certainly did not ignore the altar in the middle of the Meteor Plain. From afar, the ground seemed to be exactly the same as other places. However, when she got closer, she wiped away the withered grass and branches on the surface and cleared away the things that blocked her view. She could see that it seemed to be made of a kind of jade that was exactly the same as the Astral Formation. It was abnormally exquisite, as if it was drawn by the rules of heaven and earth. It also shone with a faint fluorescent light, but the area was much larger. The entire arc was close to the root of the mountain and occupied one-tenth of the entire Meteor Plain, which was the size of the entire Magical Beast Fortress.
This Star Pattern Formation looked like a legendary Teleportation Formation. In the words of the people of this mainland, it was the famous “Holy Spirit Ruins”.
“Brother Qin, do you know why this place is called the Holy Spirit Ruins?” Beiting Huang narrowed her eyes. Little Vine said that she and Ming had also arrived at the Central Continent from here. Then, where were they before?
Almost all the women and children in the Central Continent knew about the Holy Spirit Ruins, but no one knew its exact origin. Seeing Beiting Huang’s question, Qin Yu explained with a smile, “It’s said that ten thousand years ago, a formation was suddenly activated here, and a large number of high-level magical beasts surged in. At that time, almost all the experts in the Central Continent gathered here to resist the magical rampage. Unfortunately, the magical beasts that came in that time were led by an adult Sacred Beast, and a large number of experts in the Central Continent fell here. Later, the heads of the four great families and four divine-level experts formed the Teleportation Formation here with all their strength. After that, although there were magical beasts that came in, for ten thousand years, there was only one divine beast. The wave of magical beasts led by that divine beast was never seen again.”
An energetic voice came from behind the two of them. Beiting Huang turned around and saw that it was City Lord Mu Feng. He said, “In order to commemorate the experts who died in the battle of the magical rampage, the world is used to calling this place the Holy Spirit Ruins. In that battle, too many experts died, causing their vitality to be greatly damaged. After ten thousand years, only one Divine-level expert was born a thousand years ago.”
