Chapter 12
The King of Ten Thousand Slaves
Tamutuo.
A team set off towards Changbai Mountain following the route on the map.
This time, the Queen Mother of the West did not bring the Snake Mother along, as the Snake Mother was too large to travel with her.
Moreover, with the divine presence of the Queen Mother of the West, she was very confident that nothing would go wrong on this trip.
"My Lord, Changbai Mountain is quite far from the territory of the Queen Mother of the West."
"It might take us half a month to get there."
"A maid said."
"Yes, I understand."
Qi Mo nodded. He sat on the back of a mutated camel, looking at the endless desert, and secretly complained that it would take several days to get out of this desert.
The mutated camel walked steadily, preventing Qi Mo from suffering too much.
This mutated camel was fed enhancement drugs by Qi Mo and evolved once.
It is different from ordinary camels; it is not only stronger, but also has a horn growing on its head.
Like creatures from myths and legends.
I didn't make a mistake suggesting you buy this outfit, did I?
Look, even on such a hot day, it's still cool around you, all thanks to this outfit.
You thought it was too expensive at first, but now you know what true value for money means!
Qi Mo raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother of the West, who was covered in sweat, without refuting her.
This clothing is indeed very helpful for survival in extreme environments like the desert.
Even a powerful figure like the Queen Mother of the West was drenched in sweat from the heat, but Qi Mo remained unharmed, without a single drop of sweat on his face or back.
The hardest work was done by the maids and soldiers, who not only had to walk on the ground but also carry a thick porcelain jar on their backs.
The porcelain jar was filled with countless pheasant necks, meant to defend against any enemies that might suddenly appear...
three days later.
The group finally emerged from the desert and, after two more days of travel, arrived at a primeval forest.
Qi Mo sat on the back of the mutated camel and sighed.
If you don't want to travel like this, you can also purchase transportation options from the store.
Look, there are not only airplanes here, but also flying cars...
The system kept babbling on and on, trying to trick Qi Mo into spending points to buy things.
Qi Mo was not fooled and did not take the system's words to heart at all.
He's not a fool; why would he spend points like this every day?
Moreover, he can keep these points for future research.
[Will you buy or not? Just give me a reply.]
"If you're not buying, then don't try to sell it to me."
Qi Mo communicated with the system using his thoughts:
"Anyway, I'm not particularly tired; it's the Queen Mother of the West and the others who are tired."
"Why waste points and let them enjoy it?"
Actually, seeing the Queen Mother of the West looking so miserable, he thought it was quite nice.
That old hag should suffer more and expend more energy so she won't be scheming against him every day.
Ahead, the Queen Mother of the West glanced back and found Qi Mo calm and composed, without a drop of sweat on his forehead, his eyes narrowed as if he were thinking about something.
[Hahaha, that old hag has her eye on your body and wants a body that can withstand both the cold and the heat.]
Look, her gaze is practically fixed on you.
Is this what it means that I love your body but not your heart?
Qi Mo: "..."
This stupid system, what kind of nonsense is it?
However, the thought of being loved by the Queen Mother of the West sent chills down his spine.
She's such a yandere!
Moreover, he dislikes people who are stronger or taller than him.
The Queen Mother of the West was over two meters tall; even in modern times, few people are taller than her.
He strongly suspected that the King Mu of Zhou, who had not yet appeared, was only pretending to fall in love with the Queen Mother of the West in order to obtain the "secret to immortality".
Otherwise, why would the other party never return to the Queen Mother of the West after obtaining the "secret to immortality"?
However, given the personality of the Queen Mother of the West, she doesn't seem to be someone who's blinded by love. Could it be that they're scheming against each other?
As I was thinking, it gradually got dark.
The Queen Mother of the West immediately ordered that they set up camp on the spot and continue their journey the next day.
Qi Mo jumped off the camel's back and watched the maids and soldiers busy setting up a makeshift tent.
"Master, how come we haven't encountered a single enemy along the way?"
"I still want to show off my great power."
The little sun spoke as it flew around Qi Mo.
Qi Mo glanced at the little sun:
"It's good to have no enemies."
"You have limited energy; once you run out, you'll be in trouble."
Little Sun can only use its ultimate move three times a day, and he won't let Little Sun use it unless absolutely necessary.
Just as the two were communicating telepathically, the Queen Mother of the West glanced in their direction.
She always felt that the deity seemed to be secretly communicating with that little sun...
The night passed quickly, and as soon as the sun rose, Qi Mo and his group continued their journey.
The mutated pheasant coiled its neck around Qi Mo's shoulder and stuck out its tongue.
The two snake heads collided, producing a metallic clang.
Their scales became harder and sharper.
Qi Mo touched the two snake heads:
"Be quiet, don't move around."
Hiss!
The mutated pheasant nodded its neck in a human-like manner.
Its intelligence is equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, and it can understand Qi Mo's words in a simple way.
…………
Ten days later.
At the foot of Changbai Mountain.
Qi Mo looked up at the mountain and breathed a sigh of relief.
But he felt uneasy, as if there was danger ahead.
However, with Little Sun around, he believed that as long as he wasn't surrounded by tens of thousands of people, nothing would happen.
Little Sun's abilities are no joke!
The Queen Mother of the West looked tired; clearly, the journey of the past few days had taken its toll on her.
"Keep moving forward, we're not far from the Zhang clan's location."
She held up a piece of animal skin with writing on it, glanced at it, and spoke to her subordinates around her.
This animal hide was given to her by the Zhang clan during a transaction.
They said that if we want to cooperate in the future, we can follow the directions above to find them.
Fortunately, she kept the animal hide safe; otherwise, finding the Zhang clan would have been much more difficult.
"Yes, Queen Mother of the West."
The maids and soldiers spoke respectfully.
The group walked uphill from the foot of the mountain.
About half an hour later, they appeared in a canyon.
Whoohoo!
A strong wind blew from upwind along the canyon, making Qi Mo's hair fly.
The unusual quietness here made Qi Mo sense that something was amiss.
"Little Sun, stay alert and be ready to strike at any time."
"Yes, Master," Little Sun replied.
The Queen Mother of the West also sensed something was wrong. She observed the entrance to the canyon for a long time before venturing in.
As a queen who had faced death several times, her intuition was always accurate; she sensed danger here.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding maids and soldiers also quickly became alert.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
[They are the people of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, from a small country.]
Don't be afraid, the little sun can take them all down.
I haven't told you about the King of Ten Thousand Slaves yet, have I? This man, like the Queen Mother of the West, yearns for and pursues immortality...
The system went on and on, revealing everything about the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.
Qi Mo listened attentively, memorizing all the information about the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West spoke, shouting into the depths of the canyon:
"Why continue hiding in the shadows? Why not come out and make things clear?"
A flurry of footsteps approached.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people dressed in animal skins and carrying primitive weapons emerged from the depths of the canyon.
The leader was tall and strong, even taller than the Queen Mother of the West. His bronze skin exuded wildness and power, and he looked like someone not to be trifled with.
His gaze fell on Qi Mo, filled with both admiration and a hint of fear.
Not long ago, he heard from his subordinates that a deity had descended upon Changbai Mountain. He didn't believe it at first, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
It turns out that there really are gods in this world.
[Wan Nu Wang's Shock Value +3000]
[Shock level of Wan Nu soldiers +200]
[Shock level of Wan Nu soldiers +200]
[Shock level of Wan Nu soldiers +200]
…………
Qi Mo stared at the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, his eyes filled with excitement and madness.
According to the system, this person would cut off his lower body in order to achieve immortality, then combine it with a giant centipede and install twelve arms on himself.
This is an invaluable experimental subject!
He most enjoys studying this special kind of "organism".
The King of Ten Thousand Slaves will be his second test subject for immortality, following the Queen Mother of the West.
