Chapter 198 - at Kunlun Mountain (2/2)
Over these 10 years, Wei Huo visited many human camps and came across both humans and players.
When he met humans, he would use his human identity. When he met players, he would imitate them.
At times, Wei Huo thought that he might be the only human among the players and the only player among the humans. It sounded like he was both a player and a human, but in reality, he might not be a player or a human.
Wei Huo felt like he had become a third party and was essentially a neutral observer.
He did not stay in any camp for long. He always left after trading. Sometimes, he would choose to attack, but most of the time, he would just wait and see.
At times, Wei Huo encountered some Bandits. They were arrogant enough to rob him, but they were all killed by him.
Sometimes, Wei Huo would encounter kind-hearted people who would give him some resources. He would then trade some scarce resources.
However, one thing was certain. Humans were rising continuously. Their hunting grounds were getting larger, and they were getting stronger. The friction between the camps was also increasing.
Wei Huo saw two camps fighting over a mining area. One side was completely destroyed, and the other side won.
Apart from the fact that humans were killing each other, the threat of all races was also getting stronger.
At present, there was more than one intelligent race in the Northern Continent. As long as an Epic-ranked creature was born in a race, that race would develop its own civilization. There were battles and alliances among the various races. These relationships lasted for 100 years. That was how humans had emerged!
The potential of humans made all races tremble in fear. Many higher-ups of the other races thought that humans were a threat and had to be eliminated. That was why monsters often attacked cities.
From time to time, Epic-ranked creatures would hunt humans. Wei Huo had killed quite a number of Epic-ranked creatures over the past 10 years. He had gradually understood some things by checking their memories.
The death of the Tyrannosaurus King, the death of the Naga’s Great Ancestor, the Legendary honey badger’s broken arm, and the death of the Ant Race’s Legendary being had all delivered a huge blow to the alliance. This made the alliance realize that there were Legendary creatures among humans as well, and there might be more than one. This made the tens of thousands of races fear them even more. It was already impressive for a race to have a Legendary creature. It was enough to make a race proud and help it become one of the leading races of the Northern Continent. After all, most races only had Epic-ranked creatures and no Legendary ones. However, there might be many Legendary creatures among humans, which was too terrifying.
The fear buried in their memories gradually emerged. In the legends of thousands of races, humans were the incarnations of demons. Many races had such legends. It was said that humans were very terrifying. They were the overlords who had once ruled this planet. They had only disappeared for a period of time after being sealed.
Now that the seal had been lifted, humans were about to ascend to the position of the overlords again. If they did not unite to eradicate humans, the Dark Age of the myriad races would descend again.
This was a threat. Thousands of races believed that humans were a threat to them and wanted to eradicate them as soon as possible.
That was why Epic-ranked creatures would occasionally be hunting humans. If Wei Huo encountered one, he would suppress or kill it mercilessly until he had provoked a Legendary-level mutated cockroach that had fought Wei Huo for 13 days. To be precise, Wei Huo had chased it for 13 days and eventually killed them both.
The news terrified the thousands of races. The few Legendary creatures they had dared not stir up trouble anymore. Wei Huo’s thunderous methods terrified them.
However, some races also believed that there were no Legendary creatures among humans. It was just that the legends of other races were helping humans.
For example, the dogs in the central part of the Northern Continent had a Legendary creature. Dogs had a pair of ears and a tail, and their hair was very long. Other than that, they were no different from humans. There was the notion that the dogs wanted to get along well with humans, which made the thousands of races angry and helpless.
In addition, there was also the Panda Race in the southwest. There was an early-stage Legendary existence in that race. The Panda Race had always lived a peaceful life. When a human memorized the entire Dao Scripture, all the humans there were protected by the Panda Race.
Ten years was long enough for many things to happen. The situation was getting more complicated, but Wei Huo ignored it. He continued moving along the Dragon Vein and finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain 10 years later.
