Chapter 105: The Mountain God's Order

  "Fallen treasure?" This was Li Meng's joking reaction, because it was impossible for there to be metal blocks here, and previously he hadn't found anything, now suddenly touching a metal block made him feel very strange.

  Out of curiosity, Li Mang lowered his head and took a look, and let out another cry of surprise.

  This is a token, it's hard to tell what material it's made of, it's an unknown metal, about the size of half a palm. The craftsmanship isn't great, but its ancient aura is naturally formed. On top, there are some strange stripes and a twisted pattern that resembles a mountain.

  In ancient times, the font was accustomed to 'resemblance', the word for mountain, would draw a picture of a mountain, and the meaning depicted on this token below is probably just a 'mountain' character.

  "Mountain?" Li Mang was suddenly bewildered, he couldn't understand its meaning, and even more puzzled about where the token came from. Could it be that the Bird-Body Dragon-Head God had exploded out of it? This idea made people feel ridiculous, this wasn't a game world after all.

  But thinking carefully, this is not entirely impossible, after all, the bird-bodied dragon-headed god is the mountain god of the first column mountain range. Will this token be a symbol of the mountain god's identity? Or is it the key to controlling the first column mountain range?

  Li Meng's eyes were inexplicably hot, and he recklessly raised his long knife to slash at the tip of his finger, squeezing out some blood that dripped onto the token, then staring at it eagerly.

  "Hum!"

  The token that had sucked up the fresh blood suddenly emitted a brilliant light, floating in mid-air in front of Li Mang. Immediately afterwards, he felt an unusual sensation coming from his heart, and the Shan Hai Jing flew out uncontrollably, opening to the first page, which was the map of Nan Shan Jing.

  "Hmm..."

  The token that was suspended in mid-air suddenly drilled into the homepage of Shan Hai Jing, to be precise, it drilled into the map of Nan Shan Jing's first chapter. The next moment, this ink-colored map changed color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became a green map, which was very strange.

  Then, the Shan Hai Jing merged into Li Meng silently, and with a whoosh, it returned to his mouth, but the real change had only just begun.

  At the moment when Shan Hai Jing returned to his body, Li Mang's mind was violently shaken. The entire map of Nan Ci Yi Jing appeared in his mind unconsciously, with every blade of grass and tree seemingly imprinted on his heart. The fish swimming in Lixu Water, the honey in Tangting Mountain, the poisonous snakes in Yuanqu Mountain... everything seemed to be in his heart.

  It wasn't until much later that Li Mang opened his eyes from his epiphany, with an irrepressible joy on his face. This token was called the Mountain God Token. With it in hand, he was now the Mountain God of this mountain range, and through the token, he could come and go as he pleased to any place within this domain, also possessing the power to move mountains and fill seas.

  Although it is limited to this mountain range, it's not bad. At least all the territories that Nan Ci once owned will be truly controlled by him, and future actions will be convenient and safe.

  In addition, although the mountain god's order cannot exert its power in the outside world, it can also borrow some strength through the token, which undoubtedly adds a trump card to him.

  "Haha, this feeling is so cool!" Li Meng burst out laughing, making Jing Long feel a sense of inexplicable confusion beside him.

  Li Mang didn't explain. He just smiled mysteriously, and the next moment Jing Long felt his body lighten, his vision blurred, and when he came to, they had already returned to Zhao Yao Mountain, along with the corpse of the bird-bodied dragon-headed god.

  Suddenly. Jing Long's gaze at Li Mang had a bit more reverence, this was the ability to teleport instantly, and it even brought with it a dragon head and a monster corpse.

  "Awesome!" Li Mang was also secretly shocked when he first used this ability, but more of it was excitement and pride that couldn't be suppressed. He waved his big hand and patted Jing Long's body with force: "From now on, follow me well, I'll make sure you eat well and drink well, who knows, maybe one day I can even find a real dragon wife for you!"

  "... Jing Long heard this and his expression couldn't help but become a bit strange, but because he couldn't speak, he remained silent."

  Next is the time to enjoy the fruits of labor, Li Meng uses Huang Pin's long knife to cut open the corpse of the bird-bodied dragon-headed god, taking only some that look tender and fresh, and cutting the rest into large pieces, letting Jing Long also have a big feast.

  But such a big prey, one person and one crocodile can't finish eating it in ten days. Zhaoyao Mountain doesn't have refrigerators, even if the temperature is suitable here, it can only be consumed for two days, and the rest can only be used to feed fish, which is really wasteful.

  “……too old, too tough, have to stew it.” The yellow product was cut with a long knife and felt a great resistance, but the texture of the meat could be discerned. So Li Mang brought some Astragalus membranaceus again, set up a large pot, and lit a fierce fire. But even so, it's estimated that at least an hour or more of stewing is needed to make it chewable.

  Taking advantage of this spare time, Li Mang carried a clean water bucket and flashed to the side of the stone mountain with beehives, which is called Tong Feng. Although their individual combat power was ordinary, there were too many of them. Except for the last time when he harvested a nest in the dead wood, Li Mang had not dared to provoke them since then. But now, he didn't have this concern anymore.

  "Is the queen bee in that nest?" Li Mang was searching, his brain could see the scene inside the stone mountain as if he were there in person, and these scenes could also be converted at will. He soon found the nest of the queen bee in the largest cave inside the stone mountain.

  Compared to others, this one has a larger head, the smaller ones are as thick as thumbs, and the largest one is like a small bird, with wings like crystal pieces, a shiny black shell, and even a metallic feel, it's undoubtedly the king of the carpenter bees.

  There's a lot of honey in the beehive, shining and sparkling, it's tempting just to look at it. Li Mang locked onto an easily removable piece, and with a flicker of his mind, he took it out of thin air and put it into the water bucket, leaving before the bees inside could even react.

  This is the power of the mountain god, very good and powerful, but Li Mang has another curious question. The mountain god's order is so strong, why is the bird-headed dragon god restricted to Jie Wei Mountain? And the ability that can be played is also ordinary, could it have something to do with the Shan Hai Jing in his heart?

  Really couldn't understand, Li Meng simply didn't think much and pinched off a piece of royal jelly to put in his mouth. It was fragrant to the extreme, but not excessively sweet or greasy, the honey entered his mouth without leaving any residue, instead quickly sliding down his throat, the extremely good flavor made Li Meng's eyes widen, and he immediately felt the dry heat in his body.

  Unfortunately, due to the repeated consumption of Xuan Gui's body-refining broth, Li Mang's body had already reached its limit. Although the Bee King's honey was extremely effective, it could only repair some of the accumulated injuries within his body and could no longer directly enhance his cultivation. However, he didn't mind; with a carefree attitude, the greatest pleasure in life for a foodie like him who currently had no sense of crisis was delicious food, which was the best form of cultivation.

  "Jing Long, you have some too!" Seeing Jing Long lying motionless on the ground with a full stomach, Li Meng casually broke off a large piece and threw it over.

  "Hic...". Jing Long let out a full hiccup, not wanting to eat anything else, but it couldn't just let this expensive honey drop to the ground. It had no choice but to open its mouth and bite down, staring pitifully at its heartless owner.

  It turned out that the royal honey was not ordinary, but in a flash of time it transformed into a warm current that seeped into the throat and quickly entered Jing Long's body. The effect of the royal honey was incredibly great, just like an elixir that repaired the injuries that had fallen on his body during his tribulation.

  Jing Long's strength had not recovered all along, mainly because the trauma left behind during the Tribulation was too great and difficult to heal. Now, with this piece of Royal Honey repairing it, his strength quickly soared, and the flesh and blood of the Bird-Headed Dragon Beast that had been stuck in his abdomen also accelerated its digestion...

  "Ahh!"

  A dragon soared into the sky with a joyful cry, and in the next moment it shot up to the heavens, finally falling back into the Lijiang River, swimming back and forth, its aura growing stronger and stronger. The strange fish in the water were frightened and quickly fled the scene.

  "Is that okay?" Li Meng was stunned, he originally wanted to squeeze the honey into a paste for preservation, but now he simply left it for Jing Long to eat. Anyway, there were many more in the Tangting Mountains, so he might as well let Jing Long recover from his injuries first. For his own war pet, Li Meng wouldn't be stingy, and besides, Jing Long's recovery was also very useful to him.

  Entry-level Xuan beasts can possess the strength of a hundred years of human cultivation. If he could let Jing Long recover to his peak state, there would be another super bodyguard by his side, and at least he wouldn't have to worry about everything all the time.

  After exercising for a while, the energy of the royal honey was exhausted. The stewed soup of the bird-headed dragon beast was already ripe, and Li Mang, who had been eagerly waiting with an empty stomach, finally didn't have to wait any longer. He devoured the hot food in big mouthfuls. Although this bird-headed dragon beast looked ugly, its flavor was not bad, especially the rich spiritual energy it contained, which made Li Mang want to drink the whole pot of stewed soup.
