“Yes. Although it’s not the temple of the Holy Mountain, it’s very close to the temple.”
Platinum Embrace said, “However, after exploring to this extent, the resources of ‘Jackal’ Kanus’ exploration team have almost been exhausted. Several members of the exploration team are seriously injured and need urgent treatment.
“Besides, with ‘Jackal’ Kanus’ strength, it is not enough to go deep into the Holy Mountain and uncover our Turan ancestors’ most ancient heritage.
“Not to mention, he doesn’t have the courage to do so.
“According to Horn of Destruction’s plan, it was only necessary for ‘Jackal’ Kanus to find the Holy Mountain temple’s approximate area.
“Of course, the small ghoul dog will not interfere in the operation that goes deep into the temple of the Holy Mountain.
“Due to the fatal poison and the constant surveillance of the Lion Warriors, ‘Jackal’Kanus did not dare to act recklessly.
“After further mapping and leaving a lot of marks in the depths of the sacred mountain, he returned to Crimson Gold City with a lot of mysterious items excavated from the temple of the Sacred Mountain and reported to the Horn of destruction.”
Meng Chao nodded thoughtfully
“I see. If we can determine the specific coordinates of the temple of the sacred mountain, it will be worth it for the Horn of destruction to take a gamble.”
Meng Chao Thought for a moment and frowned again. “But there’s no need to rush, right?
“The temple of the sacred mountain is right there. It Won’t run away. And only the Horn of destruction and a few of its confidants know the top secret information.
“Even if we annihilate the great horn army and even seize the throne of the war chief, and stabilize the ambitions of the Gold clan and the four great clans, wouldn’t it be safer to free up our hands and explore the temple of the sacred mountain? Why are we in such a hurry?”
“That’s right. The Horn of destruction didn’t want to search for the temple of the sacred mountain in such a hurry. After all, it’s the most mysterious and dangerous place in the entire Tulanze. He feels that whether or not he can open the temple of the sacred mountain might have something to do with his identity as an explorer. If he can enter the temple of the Sacred Mountain as the war chief, it’s even more likely that he’ll obtain the approval of the ancestral spirits in the beginning.”
The platinum embrace said helplessly, “In the beginning, other than Horn of Destruction, canus the jackal, and a few of our confidants, there was no one else who knew about this matter. We were quite at ease.
“I didn’t expect that on the third day after canus the Jackal returned to Crimson Gold City to report for duty, an exploration team member mysteriously disappeared.
“What’s worse is that the missing person is one of the Lion Warriors sent by Horn of destruction to supervise ‘Jackal’kanus. He knows almost all the secrets about the temple of the sacred mountain from the beginning to the end!”
Meng Chao’s eyes widened.
His brain cells began to tremble rapidly.
“You suspect that it was done by the Tiger Clan?”He immediately asked.
“To be able to make a lion warrior disappear without a sound in crimson gold city, there’s almost no one else other than the tiger clan.”
“Platinum embrace”said, “Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether he is a tiger or not. Even if he is a wolf clan or a leopard clan, or even a nobody, as long as we can pry open the mouth of this lion warrior and interrogate him about the secret of the Sacred Mountain Temple, he will immediately become our biggest threat.
“No, it is not that simple.
“It has only been three days since the earth-digging unit returned to Crimson Gold City, but a large number of members who knew about the secret have mysteriously disappeared. This is enough to prove that the other party has been eyeing the earth-digging unit for a long time and has grasped a lot of information about the earth-digging unit. They might even have guessed that the earth-digging unit had just returned from the Sacred Mountain!
“It’s possible that the other party has already secretly organized a large-scale exploration team. They’re just waiting for us to explore the path inside the sacred mountain so that they can follow our footprints and take advantage of us!”
“I understand.”
Meng Chao Sighed and said, “As a result, the Horn of destruction has no other choice. No matter how chaotic the war surrounding the great horn army is, no matter how turbulent the undercurrents are inside and outside of Crimson Gold City, no matter how the four great clans like bloody hoof and the others are eyeing us like tigers eyeing their prey, he can only put down everything at hand and strive to explore the sacred mountain temple and inherit the power from the starry sky in front of his mysterious competitors!”
“Yes. We have no other choice.”
The ‘Platinum Embrace’said, “If it were any temple other than the temple of the sacred mountain, we would be willing to share it with the Tiger clan, the Wolf clan, the leopard clan, and the Bloody Hoof clan. However, the temple of the sacred mountain is a completely different existence. As the first temple built by the Tulan people in this world, whoever can get its recognition will be the king of Tulan. It is very likely that he will lead all the Tulan people to create a brand-new glory!
“Besides, the past era of prosperity lasted for fifty years. This means that the next era of Glory will probably last for fifty years, too.
“Whoever can become the war chief who leads the Tulan Army to attack the land of Holy Light in the era of Glory will be the war chief who has been in power for the longest time in the past thousands of years.
“Fifty years is enough to change many things, including leaving the throne of the war chief in a certain tribe forever.
“Even if the mandala flower withers after the glorious era, the fragrance of the mandala fruit will once again fill the entire Tulan Swamp. In the new prosperous era, the will of the war chief can still be applied to the brains, claws, and blades of every Tulan.
“No one could withstand such temptation. No one.
“Including the ‘horn of Destruction’.
“As a blood-related brother with the same bloodline flowing in his body, I know the flames burning in his eyes. I know that he not only wants to be the war chief during this glorious era, but also longs to be the eternal war chief, the Eternal King of Tulan!
“Even if the Horn of destruction does not have such ambitions, he, me, and all the nobles and warriors of the Lion clan can not stand to be inherited by the furious blade from the temple of the Sacred Mountain and become the chief of the war and King Tulan forever, so that the Tiger clan can ride on the neck of the Lion Clan Forever!”
Meng Chao nodded slowly.
He understood the meaning of the ‘platinum embrace’.
In the past, because the period of prosperity and the period of glory lasted for a short period of time, the two would appear alternately every seven to eight years or ten years.
Therefore, it didn’t have much of an impact on who would be the supreme leader during the war.
For this expedition, the Lion Tribe’s tribal chief would be the Supreme Commander, and the Tiger Tribe’s tribal chief would be the supreme commander the next time. After three to five cycles, the ox-headed tribal chief of the blood hoofed tribe had the urge to command the Tulan Army.
This way, the powerful tribes of the five great clans would be able to defend their own interests, and they would not completely fall out with each other.
However, this glorious era might last for a full fifty years.
Fifty years was too long. Regardless of whether it was the lion tribe leader or the tiger tribe leader, once they became the Supreme Leader for a full fifty years, it would be difficult for either the lion tribe or the tiger tribe to not become the supreme leader!
This was the reason why bloodhoof and the other four clans did not care about their reputation and allowed the rat clan rebels to attack the territory of the Gold clan, hoping to weaken the strength of the Gold clan as much as possible.
It was also the reason why the Lions and tigers, the two ostensible brothers, were scheming against each other, tripping each other, and even openly fighting each other.
“What about ‘Hu Lang’kanus?”
Meng Chao was still most interested in this guy. “Didn’t he go deep into the sacred mountain with the Horn of destruction and carry out the exploration?”
“No.”
On the face of the platinum embrace that was gradually dimming, there was confusion and frustration, “Because of the mysterious disappearance of the Lion warrior who was monitoring him, the horn of destruction suspected that someone had leaked the news and even colluded with the enemy.
“In order to show his absolute loyalty to the Horn of destruction and that he was not interested in the temple of the Sacred Mountain at all, Canus was willing to withdraw from the exploration operation and return to the Wolf clan to command the troops.
“Moreover, the Wolf clan was in a mess on the frontline at that time. Several fierce generals of the Wolf clan were heavily wounded and even perished in the torrential tide of rats. Even hundred blade city was besieged by the rat rebels. It was indeed necessary for canus the jackal to return to the frontline to command the army.
“Therefore, the Horn of destruction did not feel that there was anything wrong with canus’suggestion. Instead, it felt that the guy was very self-aware. No matter how loyal he was, he was still a ghoul dog from a humble background. What right did he have to tarnish the glory of the temple of the sacred mountain with his filthy claws?
“Therefore, the Horn of destruction entrusted all the internal and external affairs of Crimson Gold City to me, and it also handed over the war of exterminating the Great Horn Army to canus the jackal. Then, it brought the Lion clan powerhouse that he carefully selected and plunged into the Holy Mountain.
“Who would have thought that it would be so coincidental? The Horn of destruction had just entered deep into the Holy Mountain when the Tiger Clan started a war in Crimson Gold City…”
The platinum embrace closed his eyes tightly and rubbed his fangs repeatedly. His face was filled with pain and regret.
“Do you think that this is as simple as a coincidence?”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. “If I’m not wrong, the disappearance of the Lion warrior who knows a lot of secrets is definitely related to canus the Jackal!”
The platinum embrace widened his eyes and fell into deep thought.
“Now I know how ‘Jackal’kanus provoked the conflict between the lion and tiger clans!”
Meng Chao said, “He first kidnapped or killed the lion warrior who knew a lot of secrets and misled ‘horn of destruction’to believe that the general location of the temple of the sacred mountain had been leaked. He had no choice but to carry out the exploration operation hastily and leave Crimson Gold City.
“When the Horn of destruction left, Jackal immediately leaked the latest intelligence to the furious blade and the Tiger clan.
“You said it yourself. Neither the Horn of destruction nor the entire Lion clan will tolerate being ridden by the furious blade and the entire Tiger clan for fifty years, if not forever.
“By the same logic, when the furious blade knows that his biggest competitor is exploring the temple of Holy Mountain, and that he is likely to become the eternal war chief and King Tulan, how can he be indifferent and wait for his death?
“Therefore, even if the blade of Fury no longer trusts canus the jackal, no matter how big the risk is, and no matter how troublesome the consequences are, he has no other choice but to strike first and take on the Lion clan
