Ah! The tall white poplar tree, entrusted with the grief of life, composed the green song of life. Ah! The clear blue sky, cloudless for thousands of miles, illuminated the earth. Ah! The beautiful shepherdess sang the fragrance of freedom in the clear water and blue sky.
Ying Tianyu really wanted to sing like this.
However! Ideals were beautiful, but reality was harsh. Before saving the world, he had to save himself first.
What the hell was this place? It was so remote. Ying Tianyu sat on his pony and looked up at the sky. A storm was coming. He looked down at the ground. It was so desolate that he couldn't even find a place to shelter from the rain. It had been three days since they last met the Great Yue Clan. According to them, there should be other Great Yue Clan tribes nearby.
However, in this desolate land, where was the shadow of a tribe?
The Da Yue Clan built cities and lived in the Hexi Corridor, but towns were the minority. There were still a large number of lower-class people who maintained a nomadic lifestyle and wandered in the long and fertile areas of the Hexi Corridor. Thus, the caravan's supplies mostly depended on these tribes.
There was a clap of thunder in the sky, accompanied by a strong wind, and the rain began to fall.
Ying Tianyu got off his pony and went into the temporary tent.
Inside, Xiao Li was hugging her legs and waiting. Xiao Die hurriedly came in with the food and said to Ying Tianyu,""Young Master, the food has been cooked. Fortunately, it was ready before the heavy rain.”
Ying Tianyu took the charred meat and asked,""Where are Foxy and Crane?"
"They are taking care of the horses! It'll be done soon."
En! Not long after, little crane and little fox also walked in. They were drenched in the rain and their clothes were a little wet.
"Take off your wet clothes!”Ying Tianyu suggested innocently.
"Alright!" Little crane and little fox blushed as they took off their outerwear, revealing their naked bodies.
Little Crane, Little Fox, and Little Butterfly were both exquisite young ladies. In comparison, Little Crane's figure was more mature while Little Fox's appearance was more charming. As for Little Butterfly? It was still too small and hadn't grown. However, in another four or five years, when the time came,
"Young Master, why are you looking at me like that?”Xiao Die asked innocently. She looked at herself and found nothing wrong.
"Ah! Nothing?" Ying Tianyu laughed and shifted his gaze away from the sensitive part of the other party. He looked at Xiao Li." You mean the dragon soul is nearby?”
Hearing Ying Tianyu's question, Little Li nodded. "I can feel the power of the dragon soul. Even though this feeling is very weak, I am certain that it is nearby.”
"Could it be in the mountains in the north?”Ying Tianyu pondered. The terrain around here was relatively flat. It was just a plain at a glance. There shouldn't be anything hidden here. If there was a place to hide something, it should be the mountains in the north.
"Yes, it should be."
"Alright then! Then we'll hide here and wait for the rain to stop before we set off for the mountains.”Ying Tianyu made his decision.
In the wind and rain, this small tent still stood upright. The cold north wind whistled. The tent was originally standing on a high place, leaning against a half-sunken rock wall that seemed to be artificially dug. Rainwater rarely seeped into the tent. In addition, there were two layers of thick blankets on the ground, but the tent was not very cold.
In the small tent, Ying Tianyu crawled into the back of Little Butterfly and the other two girls. With the three girls warming the bed, Ying Tianyu fell asleep very quickly.
In the darkness, Little Li was wrapped in a blanket. He looked at Ying Tianyu, who had already fallen asleep. No one knew what he was thinking.
Little crane crawled out of the blanket and put on its clothes.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" The cultivation technique that the three little sisters cultivated was extremely unique, and they had the ability to see at night. In the dark night, Xiao Li's bright eyes flickered. He sat there and stared at her.
"I don't need to live like a human.”Xiao Li said softly.
"Is that so?" Little crane was not surprised by Little Li's words.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Xiao Li asked.
"The surroundings aren't safe. For the safety of Young Master, the three of us must be on high alert.”Even though little crane looked like an inexperienced young lady, she was very capable on the inside.
"Does that include those outside the tent?”
"Can you feel it?" The spiritual knights outside had been passed down since ancient times in their sect. They were between Yin and Yang and were extremely well-hidden. The fact that the young girl in front of them could discover them made little crane feel a little strange.
"They are special existences. In essence, so am I. There's nothing strange about me being able to discover it.”In the darkness of the tent, Xiao Li's face had a trace of loneliness.
Little crane was keenly aware of Little Li's strange behavior, but it did not say anything. The two of them did not speak, and the tent returned to silence.
......
Following Ying Tianyu's location to the north, a group of people was advancing on a rugged mountain path in the dark mountains.
Braving the bitter wind and rain, they escorted the troops into a hidden cave halfway up the mountain.
The cave was ablaze. It was different from the cold outside the cave, but it was extremely hot inside.
"Great warriors, are you here?”This was a group of very tall and strong people. Most of them were nine feet tall, with black hair and yellow skin. They had high cheekbones and were very different from the surrounding Hu clan.
There was a circular altar in the middle of the cave. It was an altar made of blood and human bones. Mysterious runes and lines were drawn on the altar. It was strange and peculiar. Around the altar, there was a man-made circular groove filled with scarlet blood. There was only a stone path connected to the altar.
And this path could only be taken by a priest.
"Sacrifice, the offerings have been brought.”The one who spoke was a burly man who was a head taller than the warriors behind him. He was half-naked and only covered by a short skirt made of animal skin. The burly man was talking about the dozens of Great Yue clansmen captured from the grasslands today. These people were the rare elites of the Great Yue Clan, but they were unable to retaliate against the attack of these warriors of this strange tribe.
"En! The blood sacrifice was about to begin. He threw them into the blood pool.”The priest spoke, his eyes filled with excitement and fanaticism.
Ignoring the struggles and pleas of the Da Yue clansmen, the burly man and his warriors took out bone daggers and cut open the arteries of the Da Yue clansmen, then threw them into the blood pool.
More than a dozen Da Yue clansmen were soaked in the blood pool. As the blood flowed out, they slowly lost consciousness and sank until there was no sound.
When the remaining Da Yue clansmen saw this cruel scene, some of them had already fainted from fear, some were wailing, and some were even urinating and defecating.
Looking at the frightened Da Yue clansmen, the priest frowned and said,""Throw those unqualified sacrifices out. Don't taint this sacred land.”
The burly man obeyed and led his men to take the few Great Yue clansmen who had feces and urine flowing out and throw them off the cliff at the side of the mountain path. When he returned, the priest was already standing on the altar and chanting in a low voice.
On the altar, mysterious runes and lines were shining. As the sacrifice progressed, the blood in the blood pool bubbled. The cave had become unbearably hot, and those Da Yue clansmen had long fainted from the heat.
However, whether it was the priests or the warriors, their eyes did not waver at all. They were very determined to endure everything that ordinary people could not endure. No, rather than saying that they were enduring, it would be better to say that they were enjoying this process that they thought was sacred.
"Is the result out?" The ceremony had come to an end, and the burly man asked.
"The War God has returned. The era of our race is about to arrive.”The priest stood on the altar and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the warriors below could not help but whisper. However, the burly man gave them a look and they all shut up.
"What should we do?"
"To find a child. He's the War God's host. According to his predictions, he is already very close to us.”
