Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 654 Memories in the Necklace

Bai Yang used the golden light of the sacred talisman to ward off danger, and examined the half-strand necklace in his hand.

Apart from the broken obsidian, eight other beads remained intact.

He listened carefully and slowly discovered that the strange roars seemed to come from all parts of the chain at the same time.

Bai Yang heard the noise behind him, turned around and asked:

"Senior Wanlong, is the aura of that green light still there?"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons, having regained his mobility, quickly ascended the stone steps and said:

"It's gone."

Bai Yang, what just happened?

"I was pulled into a mental space by that green light and encountered some trouble."

But I fixed it with a holy talisman, and it's fine now.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons came to his side, leaned closer to look at the necklace, and then frowned slightly.

He also heard the roars of those strange beasts, but he didn't understand where they were coming from.

"What's that sound? It's awful!"

The two listened intently for a while and could feel a faint pressure of will, but its intensity was nothing special.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yang finally channeled a strand of ethereal divine power into it.

Then the scene before him changed, and he seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion.

This time, however, Bai Yang was able to clearly sense the bodies outside.

This illusion seemed to be merely a display of memories, without isolating his normal senses, and he could break free at any time.

So he stopped worrying and started reading carefully.

This appears to be a vast, desolate continent, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Bai Yang seemed to have transformed into a four-armed, four-legged native, secretly hiding in a dense forest with a group of tribesmen, warily watching their surroundings.

Not far from them, a gigantic monster, fifty thousand miles tall, was leisurely strolling on the ground.

"Are they hunting?"

Want to hunt down this kind of guy?!

Bai Yang was surprised. The monster was covered in thick white leather, had four thick, giant legs, and three giant horns on its head.

Its long tail trailed on the ground, perhaps even longer than its upper body.

Bai Yang was less than a thousand miles away from this guy, yet he could feel an astonishing aura emanating from him.

Even the giant axe had never given him such a sense of danger!

What level of cultivation do these guys have?

With such a vast difference in their auras, how dare they do this?

The owner of this body, with a feather stuck in his hair, was trembling involuntarily, but dared not run away.

At this moment, the boy who was leading the group turned around and cursed viciously:

"Pikuru! You're the priest, hurry up and get him!"

Bai Yang heard himself making a defensive sound. Although it was an unfamiliar language, he could understand it completely this time.

"But I'm still just a trainee priest!"

"Are you going to get on or not?!"

The boy who acted like a leader of children revealed a ferocious expression on his face and tightened his grip on a thick wooden stick.

Pikuru glanced at the other person fearfully, but under the weight of his authority, he still gritted his teeth and took two steps forward.

"Isn't this courting death?"

Bai Yang glanced at the familiar necklace on Beikuru's chest and immediately understood.

These kids are really asking for trouble!

Pikuru began chanting incantations with trepidation, and soon a strange energy wave was released towards the monster.

The monster seemed slightly dizzy, but quickly recovered, its gaze suddenly turning fierce.

Then, with its long neck, it looks left and right!

I spotted these silly kids right away!

"Oh no! Run!"

At this point, the little brat who was in the lead seemed to finally realize the danger.

But it was all too late!

A beast's foot, thousands of meters wide, has already landed!

Bai Yang tensed up instantly!

An extremely terrifying stomp!

Even the weakest of these indigenous children is probably at the level of a cosmic master.

However, this beast's foot itself contained certain rules that even Bai Yang couldn't understand for the time being, let alone them.

They seemed to have lost the ability to fly, and could only watch helplessly as the mountain-like feet trampled them into mincemeat!

The monster seemed to possess intelligence, standing still without moving its feet.

So those children who were stronger and lucky enough to survive were repeatedly crushed as soon as they used their divine power to restore their bodies!

The unparalleled pain was transmitted to Bai Yang through his memories, making him feel extremely uncomfortable as well.

Just three seconds later, everything fell silent.

The monster then casually left, leaving behind only a footprint-shaped crater.

Everything, including the cosmic artifact, the wooden stick, turned into powder.

There is still a necklace left inside, proving that these children once existed.

The next moment, Bai Yang was "reborn".

This time, he became a glorious two-winged priest, preparing to participate in the advancement test to become a three-winged priest.

The test required him to use the "Body Fusion Technique" to absorb the bloodline of a strange beast.

Bai Yang had already guessed the outcome, and watched sullenly as this person turned himself into an alien.

This guy's body twisted and mutated into a hodgepodge that's hard to describe, and then he was killed by an older priest who couldn't stand it anymore.

Then, Bai Yang began his "next life".

Each time, his profession was that of a tribal priest, and this necklace should be a legacy of that profession.

It seems to have the function of recording the owner's final death, or the most stressful and happiest moments in life.

In one of his lifetimes, Bai Yang encountered a female spy from an enemy tribe who was bold and had an extremely hot figure.

His various experiences during that time left him unsure of which situation it was.

"The primal will, you're ruthless!"

Bai Yang soon discovered that the object he possessed had a blank slate when it came to some of his memories!

This clearly indicates that it is being blocked by some kind of force!

This necklace also possesses certain characteristics of a memory stone; the primordial universe would naturally not allow Bai Yang to obtain such high-level secret techniques so easily.

Gradually, the power of those possessing the priests grew stronger and stronger.

Bai Yang's expression grew increasingly solemn. He finally understood how the Ten Thousand Tentacle Dragon Son and the monsters outside had come to be!

"I never imagined that bloodline cultivation in the Origin Continent would involve such risks!"

Compared to comprehending the laws, the power to ascend to the heavens in one step always comes at a price.

Sometimes, the cost can be so high that the entire tribe cannot afford it!

Bai Yang knew that the Yalong tribe was completely finished.

This island was probably their refuge, but they still couldn't escape the monster and the soul-devouring power of the myriad-tentacle dragon shadow.

The last two secret manuals on the Beasthide Tower teach how to purify and evolve the bloodlines of exotic beasts.

When the Yalong tribe encountered a strange beast with a trace of Hunyuan life bloodline, everything seemed destined for them.

The last high priest sublimated his beastly bloodline and then saw that terrifying image.

He went mad and mutated into a monster, draining the souls of most of his people.

Bai Yang felt heavy-hearted; he also didn't know who the last priest was.

What we see is either a "visual memory" passed down from the bloodline of the mythical beast, or the mythical beast itself is a descendant of the Ten Thousand-Touched Dragon.

Both of these answers are equally terrifying.

"Logically speaking, the Mother of Ten Thousand Touches should be alive and well at this time."

[Yuan] He might not even have captured the Ten Thousand Touch Dragon Prince, so how did he end up here?

The timeline and the space of the source world seem completely chaotic.
