Alternate World: I Started With Two SSS Templates - Chapter 442

442 Volcano

During winter, the snow covered the ground, and the slumbering wind howled across the land.

In such a cold environment, even the most powerful dire beasts were not willing to come out. They had already eaten their fill and entered a state of hibernation. If they could find them at this time, there was a chance to kill them.

Therefore, winter was a very important hunting season for many powerhouses. Of course, there were conditions for this. Only those powerful towns had enough materials to keep out the cold and ensure that hunters would not die in the wild.

The five villages naturally did not have such conditions. However, with the efforts of Lin Xuan and the rest, they had set up a supreme pattern formation that could withstand even snow storms. The interior of the five villages was warm, and one could not feel the cold of the harsh winter. All the villagers went crazy. Was winter still called the death season?

!!
This year’s blizzard seemed to be particularly fierce. A white wall of snow had already piled up several meters high outside the five villages. The blizzard was still growing stronger, and it was likely that the entire village would be buried in the snow soon.

“It’s so cold!”

Qin Fen pushed open a snow path. His whole body trembled a little. He took a long time to recover from the warm supreme pattern array of the village. “D*mn this weather, how did they survive in the past?”

He shook off the snowflakes on his body and was a little puzzled. All the scholars were staying in the village. With Lin Xuan around, the members of the Protection Team naturally did not have to protect the scholars for the time being. However, they did not stay idle. They were all sent out by Lin Xuan to explore the surrounding areas in preparation for the war after the snowy season.

“If it’s the Ancestral supreme-rulers, they can build a kingdom from the ground up if they wish to. Although it can’t completely shield them from the effects of winter, it can weaken them. As for the Beast supreme-rulers, they don’t care about the life and death of the human race, but they can still use their supreme power to temporarily protect them from the cold.”

Lin Xuan had been studying the three fundamental paths of the wilderness world dungeon recently — Beastmaster, supreme-ruler Sacrificer, and through beast blood baptism!

The supreme-ruler that a Beastmaster believed in had to be a wild beast. After they believed in that supreme-ruler, they would have an affinity with the wild beast, allowing them to communicate with powerful wild beasts. Some Beastmasters could even control wild beasts, making them extremely powerful.

A supreme-ruler’s sacrifice required one to believe in a supreme-ruler As the key person in a town or city who could communicate with a supreme-ruler, he possessed the mighty power bestowed by the supreme-ruler

Lin Xuan only understood the early stages of cultivation for beast bloods. As for how to cultivate later on, according to the priest, only by obtaining the recognition of the Divine Spirit of the wild beast could one cultivate to a higher level.

These three professions were all based on faith, which meant that in the wilderness, supreme-rulers were the most fundamental path.

What Lin Xuan wanted to do was to replace the beliefs of supreme-rulers with the Human Emperor.

He didn’t have a clear idea of what to do, but he felt that it would work.

“What did you find out?”

Seeing that Qin Fen had already recovered, Lin Xuan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

“I was heading East, and on the way, I saw quite a few villages. There were at least six to seven hundred people in the villages, and at most a thousand. There were all kinds of supreme-rulers, like bears, tigers, leopards, and many ancestors. I didn’t see the Demon Dragon City that you mentioned.”

Qin Fen didn’t hold anything back. He poured himself a cup of hot water, took a sip, and sighed comfortably.

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but frown when he heard Qin Fen’s update. They didn’t find the Demon Dragon City? Could it be that the priest pointed them the wrong direction? Needless to say, the possibility of this was not small. Lin Xuan didn’t believe that they had been to the Demon Dragon City before. That was why he was skeptical about the direction the priest pointed.

“Alright, I’ll check on the others later.”

The investigation of the city was not urgent. Winter did not last long, and it was enough for Lin Xuan to thoroughly understand the situation around him.

“Oh right, I need to assign you to a different task. Teach those little kiddos that were just baptized how to exert their strength. They have good physical fitness, coupled with powerful force-exerting techniques, so their strength will probably increase by a few levels if they were trained by you.”

Qin Fen didn’t refuse. He was walking on the Martial Dao road. In addition to his own practice, he did have the idea of spreading the news to the world. If Martial Dao could be popularized in the world, then this road would be much easier to walk in the future for others.

The others had also returned, and many of them were shivering from the cold. Even an earth-rank powerhouse would find it difficult to withstand the outside cold. The blizzard not only brought iciness to the physical, but also to the mind and soul.

The information they brought back was mostly the same. There were many villages and they had also encountered some towns and villages, but they really didn’t see any Demon Dragon City.

Were they buried by the snow?

Or did the Demon Dragon City move their city away overnight?

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Then, he called the priests over. They all pointed in one direction. They were very sure that the Demon Dragon City was in this direction, and this direction was exactly where Qin Fen had investigated.

“Have any of you been to the Demon Dragon City before?”

Lin Xuan frowned and asked curiously. It would have been fine if the few of them did not have an opinion, as someone might have remembered the wrong direction. However, all the priests pointed in the same direction, and Lin Xuan could not help but be curious.

“They are where the sun rises, I am sure of it! Even though we’ve never been to the Demon Dragon City, it’s said that the city is located at the sunrise. Naturally, it’ll be in this direction.”

The priests said matter-of-factly. The direction where the sun rose was naturally where the Demon Dragon City should be at.

He fell silent. He didn’t expect the solemn words of the priests to come from a rumor. It was ridiculous. How could the sun rise in the Demon Dragon City… Wait, the place where the sun rises, could it be…

“Are there any volcanoes around here?”

“What’s a volcano?”

“It’s a mountain that spurts out flames and lava!”

“Yes, there is. It’s in the southwest, but it’s very far from here. Last time, there was a lot of black smoke rising from there. I was curious and asked some travelers about it. They told me it was a mountain that spurts fire.”

Lin Xuan nodded his head. This should be where the Demon Dragon City was.

One must know that when a volcano erupts, it would be like the sun rising high in the sky. Furthermore, their Beast supreme-ruler was a hornless dragon. Just from its name, one could tell that it was a fire elemental dragon. Normally, fire elemental dragons loved to nest in volcanoes.

There was no problem. It was solved. It was that simple.
