Chapter 66
Frog-Headed Shikigami
"Sister Ping, you said before that if a small squad of barbarians was wiped out, the rest would gather here?"
As Xu Yunxin spoke, he raised his hand and cast a "World Tree Blessing" spell on Xiaoqing.
Although the LV0 skill [World Tree Blessing] provides little help to Xiaoqing's bloodline growth, it can keep Xiaoqing, who has been carrying them on cloud-riding tours, in good condition.
"Yes, my father and Uncle Yue once killed a group of barbarians. Later, in order to hold off the majority of the barbarians, they were seriously wounded, and many of my uncles died in that battle."
Yue Yinping spoke in a somber tone, her eyes filled with memories and sorrow.
Xu Yunxin paused for a moment, then solemnly said, "This time, we'll make those barbarians pay for their crimes in blood!"
Yue Yinping didn't say anything; she just tightened her grip on the silver spear.
The two of them, along with Xiaoqing, had been touring this area for a day.
So far, we haven't encountered any barbarians searching for us.
Xu Yunxin and Yue Yinping had roughly calculated that if these ten or so barbarian squads were advancing in a coordinated, coordinated manner, then the straight-line distance between the squads within the same sector would not be very far.
Xu Yunxin has a system verification that confirms Xiaoze Mali is not dead, but escaped to deliver a message through the "shikigami" he summoned.
Logically, the barbarian squad that received the message should have arrived long ago.
Unless Ozawa Mali abandons the coordinated advance and goes deep into enemy territory alone, intending to take over Qingxi Town first.
Xu Yunxin guessed correctly; Ozawa Mali really was indeed venturing deep into enemy territory alone.
Xiao Ze Mali knew that Qingxi Town was home to many mortals and cultivators.
These are all the finest offerings, the ones that the "gods" love most!
In the past, the teams assigned to Qingxi Town were able to hunt down quite a few ordinary people.
Judging from the strategies reported by the previous teams, these teams were proceeding step by step, and the number of people they hunted was getting smaller and smaller.
Ozawa Mali wants more ordinary people.
So he decided to speed up the march and launch a blitzkrieg to get off to a good start.
They marched directly to the foot of Qingxi Town, unexpectedly destroyed it, and then slowly hunted down other creatures.
Ozawa Mali's idea was good, but he ran into a brick wall.
Now, Aoi Niu Er has a similar idea.
Xu Yunxin was struggling to find the Barbarian Squad when Cangjing Niu Er had already arrived at the battlefield where Xiaoze Mali had been wiped out.
Looking at the corpses of their kin, left to rot in the wilderness, covered in flies and gnawed by wild beasts.
The barbarians were furious, cursing and shouting that they would tear the perpetrators to pieces.
Cangjing Niu Er carefully examined the battlefield situation and then carefully sensed it through the shrine in his hand, his brows unconsciously furrowing deeply.
He did not sense the enemy's blood on this battlefield.
He was well aware of Ozawa Masashi's strength; the enemy was able to wipe out Ozawa Masashi's entire army without suffering any losses.
This means that the enemy's strength far exceeds that of Qi Refining, and is at least at the Foundation Establishment level.
Did Ozawa Masashi deliberately fabricate false information to deceive him?
Aoi Niu Er hesitated, unsure whether he should continue chasing after them.
After a moment of deep thought, Cangjing Niu Er took out a black jade bowl and a specially made leather bag, opened it, and poured a full bowl of essence blood into the bowl.
He solemnly placed the bowl of blood essence before the shrine, and with his hands clasped in prayer, he said, "May the divine be above! May the revered deity guide me, may this blood serve as my aid, and may my faith connect with the Guru!"
As Aoi Niu Er finished his prayer, the bowl of blood essence placed in front of the shrine vanished into thin air.
The black and red silk cloth covering the exquisite shrine was lifted, and a sliver of blood-red light shot out from it, flying off in the due south direction.
After doing all this, Aoi Niu Er felt a little relieved.
He was prepared to abandon the tempting offerings and instead stay there to await reinforcements until the main force arrived.
Let's turn back time a little.
Just as those barbarians saw their kin lying dead in the wilderness, they cursed Xu Yunxin and vowed to tear him to pieces.
Xu Yunxin, who was sitting comfortably on the small green cloud stand, suddenly sneezed several times!
His sneeze caused Xiaoqing and Yue Yinping to turn their heads to look.
You know, once a person breaks free from the mortal body and cultivates spiritual energy, they are no longer afraid of heat or cold, nor are they susceptible to wind or chills. So why would they sneeze?
Xu Yunxin was also puzzled. Was someone cursing him?
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he immediately shouted, "Xiao Qing, let's hurry to where we killed the barbarians!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing immediately changed direction and flew on a cloud towards the direction where she had encountered Xiaoze Mali.
Yue Yinping, unaware of the situation, asked in confusion, "What are we going there for? The barbarians are advancing like a net. That group of barbarians has already been wiped out; there shouldn't be any more barbarians coming from there, right?"
Xu Yunxin said, "What if it was one of those escaped barbarians who went to report and summon them?"
"We're just going to give it a try anyway. We're just waiting around here anyway, what if we bump into someone?"
Yue Yinping stopped talking and, taking advantage of the remaining time, sat cross-legged to meditate and regulate her breathing.
Xu Yunxin said this to Yue Yinping, but in reality he was 90% confident that new barbarians had arrived at the place where he had wiped out Xiaoze Mali!
The reason I was so certain was because of those few sneezes.
This is the most direct reminder he received from one in a thousand "natural blessings"!
Only he himself understood the meaning behind this reminder.
If you sneeze for no reason, it means someone is talking about you behind your back!
They've taken down several in a row; this grudge must be deep!
Xiao Qing soared through the clouds at full speed, and after only half an hour, she was already close to the area where she had annihilated Xiao Ze Ma Li.
From atop the cloud-like structure, Xu Yunxin could see a group of barbarians digging a pit to bury corpses.
He told Xiaoqing to slow down, and when the fog thickened, he led Yue Yinping up there quietly without anyone noticing.
This group of barbarians also consisted of twelve people. In addition to one barbarian carrying a black and red box, there were four "archer foot soldiers" carrying bows and arrows, and the rest were all "foot foot soldiers".
There were no warriors in full armor among this group of barbarians, and the barbarian carrying the black box was not sitting on a bamboo frame. He was wearing a suit of armor, but there were no obvious family crests on the outside of his clothes.
Judging from his demeanor, he seems to be someone with neither money nor power.
In that short time, the two men and the snake had already made their way to within two miles.
Xu Yunxin gestured to Yue Yinping, telling her to deal with the "lightfooted men," and to leave the one carrying the black box to him and Xiaoqing.
The two people and the snake continued their stealthy advance.
Just as they were about to use the same trick again, and launch a surprise attack on these barbarians,
An unexpected change occurred!
The barbarian carrying the black box suddenly looked over, a cunning and cruel glint in his eyes.
"Oh no! We've been discovered!"
Xu Yunxin immediately took action, and twenty-two sharp spikes appeared out of thin air, striking the barbarian squarely with a whoosh!
The barbarian suddenly ripped open the black and red silk cloth on the shrine in his hand, which suddenly grew larger and rolled forward, directly catching and dissolving all twenty-two earth spikes that Xu Yunxin had thrown.
After the black and red silk cloth was lifted, an ugly god was finally revealed inside!
This creature had the body of a human and the head of a child, with two protruding eyes like copper bells, and a long, blood-red tongue hanging from its large mouth.
