"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the people from your Shaman Bat Tribe, or else we wouldn't have been able to escape from Sky Mist Barrier." The man placed his battle axe by the side and brought out some ointment to rub on his wounds. There were many bloody gashes on his body.
"You're indeed ruthless. You sacrificed hundreds of your tribesmen for this chance." The man smiled.
"If we don't enter the land of the Berserkers during the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands, we'll definitely die. This is nothing compared to you feigning death to escape the disaster." The man with the bat tattoo on his face let out a cold harrumph.
"We should be the first batch of people who used this method to escape into the land of the Berserkers. It's a pity … this method is very risky, and only three to five people can enter at most, or else we could have given this method to the God of Shamans Temple and we'd have gotten a lot of rewards." The man frowned and avoided the topic just now.
"It's useless even if we gave it to the God of Shamans Temple. Do you think they don't know about this method? Besides, with how terrifying and powerful Sky Mist City is, they must have known about this weakness a long time ago, but they still didn't seal it. The reason behind this is very profound." The man with the bat tattoo laughed coldly.
"Oh? I thought Wu Duo was the first to find this method. He disappeared for a dozen something years and has been living in the land of the Berserkers. I wonder what his level of cultivation is now. "The man lowered his head and a glint appeared in his eyes.
As the two of them spoke, they would occasionally observe their surroundings cautiously. If there was even the slightest sign of trouble, they would immediately attack. After all, to them, this was the land of the Berserkers. It could be said that everyone here was their enemy.
With their power that was equivalent to the initial stage of the Spine Realm, they did not dare venture too deep into the land of the Berserkers. They had already paid a huge price to enter this place. They could not return to the land of the Shamans. Right now, they only wanted to find a small Berserker Tribe and hide their identities. Then, they would migrate with the tribe so that they would have a higher chance of surviving the disaster. They did not want to die in battle.
At that moment, there was an afterimage that sliced through the air soundlessly about 20,000 feet away from them. This extreme speed was created by the woman who was patrolling outside the third high school. She continued moving about, and gradually, she was less than 30,000 feet away from Su Ming. With her speed, even if she was patrolling in a circle, she would still find Su Ming in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Once they discovered Su Ming, a Berserker, then before they could hide the characteristics of the Shamans, this would be a battle to the death.
Su Ming leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes. There was a nostalgic look on his face as he held the bone xun in his hands and played a soundless song. If anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see faint circles of ripples around Su Ming. Those ripples spread out and echoed in a circular area of several hundreds of feet.
"The xun has a soul, that's why it has a song … The wind is blowing, but the sound of the soul will not disappear …" Su Ming mumbled. He opened his eyes and looked at the bone xun in his hand. After a long, long time, he closed his eyes once again and immersed himself in the soundless song once again.
Gradually, once he managed to forget everything along the way, he forgot about the bone xun in his hands under the big tree in the middle of the night. He also did not try to find out whether the xun could make a sound. Instead, he searched for the feeling of home within the song in his memories.
The mark of Dark Mountain gradually appeared on his face. The grass and trees of Dark Mountain Tribe gradually appeared on his chest under his robes. Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky around the tribe, causing his closed right eye to gradually turn red.
The ripples around him became even stronger, causing the area of 100 something feet around Su Ming to distort. Even his presence seemed to have been hidden away.
It was as if Su Ming no longer existed.
He immersed himself in the song, immersed himself in his memories, leaning against the big tree and not moving.
Time trickled by, and very soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed by. An afterimage flashed past 3,000 feet away from where Su Ming was and revealed a petite body. The female Shaman appeared there, and once she swept her gaze across the area, she disappeared in a flash.
Time passed by, and without Su Ming noticing it, the ripples around him started distorting like tidal waves. As they reverberated in the air, they started spreading out from the area of 100 something feet. Gradually, when they reached nearly 500 feet, suddenly, a moaning song from a xun appeared in the silence of the night!
The sound of the xun was slightly weak in the beginning, like the first cry of a baby, but soon, it gradually calmed down and turned into a moan that contained an endless amount of grief. It surrounded the area and traveled even further into the distance.
Su Ming still had his eyes closed as he leaned against the big tree. He held the xun by his mouth and did not move. However, right at the moment the song of the xun was the first sound anyone could hear, a white storage bag tied to Su Ming's robes suddenly shone with a red light. That red light flew out, and as a large amount of distorted ripples appeared before Su Ming, the Fire Ape appeared.
It crouched on the ground with a strange look in its eyes as it stared at Su Ming. In truth, the storage bag could not trap it. It could walk out at any moment. This was something Su Ming had promised it, which was why he had never sealed the bag tightly.
At that moment, it was looking at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression. The sorrowful song from the xun reached its ears, and once it heard it, it felt incredibly uncomfortable, so it crouched on the ground and listened to it quietly.
The shadow under Su Ming's body under the moonlight also started swaying. A pair of red eyes appeared on the shadow's head, and within those eyes was confusion.
Almost the moment the song of the xun traveled out from the void for the first time, the female Shaman who had disappeared previously walked out from the air 2,000 feet away from the spot where Su Ming was. A wary look appeared on her face as she stared at the spot where Su Ming was, which was also the spot where the song of the xun came from.
Killing intent appeared in her eyes, but she hesitated for a moment and did not act recklessly. Instead, she gradually retreated.
The song from the xun spread out more and more until it echoed in a circular area of several thousands of feet. It did not disappear even after a long time had passed. In fact, the echoes of the song even spread further into the silent night.
There was grief in the song, and there was a solemn air to it that could make all those who heard it feel their emotions rise and fall. It was as if the song contained some sort of strange power that could move souls.
In the forest tens of thousands of feet away, the two Shamans who had fallen into silence after their short conversation lifted their heads almost at the same time, and wariness appeared on their faces.
"Did you hear that?" The muscular man tightened his grip around the battle axe in his hand and killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"The sound of a xun …" The person with the bat tattoo on his face stood up, and a grave look appeared on his face.
"This is a dark night. To the Berserker Tribe, this is a remote place. There aren't any Berserker Tribes around here, and the sound of a xun suddenly appeared …" At the same time killing intent appeared in the man's eyes, anxiety also appeared on his face.
The man hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "Could it be Wu Duo?"
Before the person with the bat tattoo on his face could speak, an aloof woman's voice traveled out from the forest beside him.
"No, this person is a Berserker." The person who spoke was the female Shaman who had been 2,000 feet away from Su Ming just now. She had already returned to the area.
"What level of cultivation?" the person with the bat tattoo on his face immediately asked.
"I can't sense a strong level of cultivation. Besides the song from the xun being a little strange … this person shouldn't have reached the Bone Sacrifice Realm," the woman said coldly.
"He's not in the Bone Sacrifice Realm!" The man with the battle axe let out a sigh of relief before he started laughing ferociously.
However, the man with the bat tattoo on his face frowned and looked at the female Shaman.
"If he's not in the Bone Sacrifice Realm, then why didn't you just kill him?"
"This is the land of Berserkers. If we're going to attack, then let's do it together. I won't attack alone." The woman's voice was still as cold as ever.
"Wu Duo will be here soon. Come, let's attack together and get rid of this person as soon as possible. Also, once we kill him, we'll have to search around and see whether there are other Berserkers around to avoid trouble." A glint appeared in the eyes of the man with the bat tattoo on his face and he charged into the forest.
The female Shaman followed behind him. Her body was like wisps of smoke, and she looked rather ethereal.
"Since he's not in the Bone Sacrifice Realm, then let me skin him and see whether I can wear it." The muscular man licked his lips and a bloodthirsty and cruel look appeared on his face as he followed closely behind the woman.
The three of them could be said to be incredibly cautious. Even if they were facing a person who had not reached the Bone Sacrifice Realm, they would still attack at the same time. It was clear that they did not feel safe in the land of Berserkers.
"Ying Huan, you're skilled in speed. Attack first, but don't kill him. Leave him alive. There's something off about him. I have some questions I want to ask this Berserker Child," the man with the bat tattoo on his face whispered to the female Shaman beside him as he charged forward.
The three of them traveled incredibly quickly. Before long, they were already closing in on the distance of 50,000 feet as they traveled in a straight line. However, as they got closer, the moaning notes of the xun became clearer. In the quiet night, those notes made them feel incredibly uneasy.
When Ying Huan heard the man's words, she nodded. She also felt that there was something off about this Berserker Child.
Three thousand feet, two thousand feet, one thousand feet, five hundred feet, three hundred feet … The three of them were like long arcs that stirred up piercing whistles. They traveled at full speed from three thousand feet to appear three hundred feet away from Su Ming. With just one glance, they saw Su Ming leaning against the tree without moving. They also saw a fiery red ape squatting in front of him.
Almost the instant the three of them closed in, the Fire Ape turned around and bared its teeth as it looked at the three of them. At the same time, the woman who was skilled in speed charged forward. In the previous breath, she had been 300 feet away, but in the next breath, she had already appeared beside Su Ming. A chilling glare appeared in the woman's eyes. She lifted her right hand, and five black needles appeared in her hand, charging straight towards the top of Su Ming's skull.
Yet almost the instant the woman lifted her right hand and was about to lower it, she suddenly let out a shrill scream of pain. Her body trembled and she coughed out blood. Shock and disbelief appeared on her face.
"What's behind me?!" Extreme terror could be heard in the woman's shocked voice. Her body started withering away right before her eyes, as if her flesh and blood were being devoured in an instant.
The man with the battle axe widened his eyes in terror. The person with the bat by his side sucked in a sharp breath. He could clearly see a dark shadow sticking close to Ying Huan's back like a piece of skin. It was spreading out rapidly, as if it wanted to envelop the woman's entire body.
