Building the Jingguan

Xu Yunxin didn't care how surprised Song Xiaku was; he even pretended that Song Xiaku was one of his own.

That's how these barbarians are; they treat the strong as their own, but bully the weak!

To be fair, Xu Yunxin used the [Skill: Wild Transformation] to its fullest extent, and the [World Tree Species: Golden Buddha Tree] that he transformed into was truly tall and majestic, and it looked incredibly impressive.

The golden tree trunk was dazzling, and the patterns on it resembled a combination of dragon scales and wood grain. The branches and leaves were incredibly detailed, each one looking like it was made of pure gold. The sheer spectacle of this tree trunk was many times more impressive than that giant phantom (first-tier spirit) that Matsushita Pants had created by cutting off eyes and bleeding people!

This is not surprising, after all, he was just an ordinary "samurai barbarian" who hadn't seen much of the world.

In reality, the various levels of "gods" among the barbarians are all standardized. For example, the "bright god" mentioned by Matsushita Pants is the top god of the barbarians, and most ordinary barbarians have only seen statues of him.

If we were to compare the "Golden Buddha Tree" that Xu Yunxin conjured with the "gods" of the barbarians, then at least a "fourth-tier shikibu god general" would be needed to manifest it so realistically and clearly.

Of course, Xu Yunxin's "Golden Buddha Tree" only looks impressive; its actual power is far inferior to that of the "Fourth-Rank Shikigami General".

The Golden Buddha Tree was originally a first-tier spiritual plant, and after being bound to a spirit by Xu Yunxin, it became a world tree species and was implanted into Xu Yunxin's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. Its true rank and status were far beyond that of a mere barbarian "god".

However, the current "Golden Buddha Tree" is only a world tree species, with a grade of only white and a growth rate of only 1.1%.

Not only does it require Xu Yunxin to transform using the [Skill: Wild Transformation], but the transformation time is also limited by the skill level, the movement speed is very slow, the overall power is not particularly strong, and it is subject to many restrictions.

However, the "Golden Buddha Tree" is a different story when it comes to the giant phantom (a first-tier spirit) created by Matsushita Pants.

Xu Yunxin gathered the golden branches and leaves into a giant hand about half a zhang in size and slapped it down on the head of the giant phantom created by loosening his pants.

When Matsushita saw the other party's "respected god" make a move, he also wanted to control the giant phantom he had sacrificed to resist, but he could no longer command it.

It is important to know that the hierarchy among the barbarian "gods" is extremely strict. Even if a superior makes a subordinate eat a lump of food, the subordinate would not dare to complain.

The "Golden Buddha Tree" that Xu Yunxin has transformed into is now a top-tier being among the top-tier for the giant phantom, a first-tier spirit. It doesn't even dare to run away, so how could it dare to resist!?

The giant golden palm, half a meter in size, slammed down, causing the giant phantom to flicker wildly as if struck by lightning, before dissipating into a wisp of bloody smoke.

After dispersing the giant phantom, the golden giant hand continued to press down. Xu Yunxin used a clever trick to flick it, making the loose pants spin around like a leather jacket.

Matsushita's blind head spun like a cylinder, his bun fell loose and tore into a black ribbon, and the parts of his body that were not covered by armor were also flung away by the huge centrifugal force, revealing a large white body on the spot.

Xu Yunxin dismantled the tree trunk, took the knife and walked up, gently slicing the blade horizontally in the direction of his loosened trousers.

With a "whoosh," his head was severed off, without any effort at all.

He held his head, which was hanging down by his trousers, and muttered the stirring song under his breath: "Big sword towards..."

Next, Xu Yunxin cut off the heads of the seventeen barbarians, and had the black dog drag their corpses together, roughly stacking them into a base. Then, with the heads facing due east, they were stacked one after another.

A simple mound of skulls was built.

After that, it's time to clean up the mess.

With the black dogs around, there's no chance of missing any spoils on the battlefield.

After verification by the Druid system, these fifteen barbarians were not cultivators; they only contributed fifteen incomplete Origin Essences to him.

Both the giant phantom and the "Flying Head Barbarian" descended through divine intervention. Xu Yunxin only drove them away, not killed them, so there was no source to obtain.

Then there are fifteen sets of leather armor. These leather armors are of good quality and the craftsmanship is also very exquisite. They can be taken back to the soldiers of Qingxi Town to wear.

There were also four bows and one broken bow. These bows were all made of ironwood and felt heavy in the hand. Xu Yunxin pulled them out and tried them out. All four bows were strong bows with a draw weight of ten stones. No wonder the arrows shot out were so fast.

A good bow is not easy to make, and a good archer is even more rare.

Archers, especially those with special arrows, are the kind of people that early-stage Qi Refining cultivators least want to face.

Early-stage Qi Refining cultivators have limited spiritual power and cannot form a spiritual energy shield on their body surface. Talismans are also expensive, so most early-stage Qi Refining cultivators can only buy a few as a precaution.

If the archers maintain sufficient distance or defend the city, they can completely suppress early-stage Qi Refining cultivators and even have the opportunity to surround and kill them. This is also an important reason why these barbarians dared to ambush Xu Yunxin.

They simply chose the wrong opponent.

Xu Yunxin packed up the bows, preparing to take them back to equip the townspeople. In the event of a battle, the townspeople could defend the city and suppress the enemy with their bows and crossbows.

As he gathered the barbarians' weapons, the six black dogs dragged over the leather bags that the barbarians had hidden beforehand.

There were six large leather bags in total, five of which were bulging, and one was half-empty.

Xu Yunxin opened them one by one, and inside were mainly the corpses of "Bamboo Scented Pigs and Rats".

Xu Yunxin counted the six large leather bags, which contained a total of 112 "Bamboo Fragrant Pig Rats". Adding the nine from the previous bag and the eleven he had hunted himself, there were a total of 132 "Bamboo Fragrant Pig Rats".

I wonder how long these barbarians have been hunting here, they've managed to hunt so many, they've probably wiped out all the "bamboo-scented pigs and rats" in this bamboo forest!

He guessed that the reason why the barbarians were able to hunt so many "bamboo-scented pigs and rats" was probably related to the strange archery techniques used by those "bow-footed barbarians".

The "Bamboo Fragrant Pig Rat" can instantly teleport ten zhang using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels), and the "Light-footed and shrewd" arrows can also change direction in mid-air.

No matter how agile the "Bamboo Fragrant Pig Rat" is, it only has one chance to use Earth Escape. After using Earth Escape, it can only wait to die and cannot dodge the arrows of "Bow and Feet Light and Savage".

Xu Yunxin put these "bamboo-scented pigs and rats" into his storage talisman, feeling quite satisfied.

With these "bamboo-scented pigs and rats" as a foundation, once he returns to Qifeng Mountain, he can try using them to feed the green-tailed snake.

His goal wasn't high; he just wanted to get along well with the green-tailed snake and build up a close relationship to about 30 or 40 percent.

After finally putting away the large animal traps, Xu Yunxin didn't linger there any longer and immediately led the six black dogs back to Qingxi Town.
