As the old Shaman spoke, he continued retreating until he was beside the six tribe members who had followed him. Only then did he kick them a few times, waking them up. Then, he quickly wrapped his fist in his palm and brought them away.
The six tribe members' faces were pale. They were filled with respect and a sense of mystery towards the mountain range where Su Ming was. As the old man charged forward, all of them were filled with lingering fear.
When they were almost back to the tribe, one of the men hesitated for a moment before he spoke in a low voice.
"Elder, what should we do? Should we ask the statue of the Ancestral Shaman to attack? "
"Heh heh, you only know how to play dead. What should we do? What do you think we should do? The statue of the Ancestral Shaman can only use its power once, and that's to intimidate Hei He! " The monkey-faced old man glared at him, then turned around and slapped the man's head.
"I'm telling you, you can't underestimate this Medial Soul Catcher. He's just using his divine abilities and he already has such power. Even if I fight with my life on the line, it'll be useless. He's a Soul Catcher, an outsider. He can come and go as he pleases. I don't have the confidence to kill him.
"If that's the case, then if I lose, then won't all of you be finished? What about the people in the tribe? Even if I win, he'll run away and find a chance to take revenge. Our tribe can't leave either. It's not worth it. " The old man stroked the beard on his chin. At that moment, he no longer had the foolish look he had before. A hint of intelligence appeared briefly in his eyes.
"That's why I flattered him and pretended to be respectful and afraid. That's why I could avoid a fight that would've been the end of us. This is called being flexible!" The old man's eyes sparkled and he looked towards the east.
"By the looks of this person, he shouldn't be someone that old bird Hei He invited. Let's see. That old bird Hei He has a bad temper. He's not as flexible as I am. Perhaps this is a good thing!" The old man smiled, then his expression turned serious again. He slapped the heads of the tribe members beside him.
"Go home! Remember, without my orders, don't step within 3,000 … 5,000, 50,000 feet of that mountain! "
Once the old Shaman from White Bull Tribe left, Su Ming stayed in his cave abode for a few days. No one came to disturb him. He immersed himself in his training, and when he was free, he would look at the moon in the sky and practice the burning of blood.
During the day, besides observing the medicinal cauldron and checking on the old Berserker's condition, Su Ming also purposely used a few stone chambers to bring in a thick amount of power of the world. He also brought back some soil from the area and planted his herbs there.
Besides that, Su Ming spent the rest of his time studying the Wind Berserker and Lightning Berserker's Crystals of Inheritance. He sensed the Provenance of Wind and the Origin of Lightning in his body and searched for a way to cast the Wind Berserker's divine ability and the Lightning Berserker's Art.
In this remote spot in the land of the Shamans, Su Ming immersed himself in his own world, forgetting about the great war between the Shamans and Berserkers that was still going on. He also forgot about the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands. The only thing in his mind was to increase his level of cultivation by a large margin within these three years.
Only then could he come into contact with the immortals that descended, and only then could he find the secret of the word 'fate'.
However, the days of peace were short lived. Seven days later, Su Ming opened his eyes while still seated. He held the Wind Crystal of Inheritance in his hand and lifted his head to cast a glance at the Fire Ape not too far away.
"Get rid of them."
Excitement immediately appeared on the Fire Ape's face. Once it patted its chest, it picked up the rod and turned into a red shadow that disappeared. Before long, the Fire Ape returned with a satisfied look on its face and gestured at Su Ming for a long time.
"Alright. If you run into intruders, you can make your own decisions. Don't hurt anyone during the first three times, but if someone comes in during the fourth time, you can kill them." Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence before he nodded his head and continued immersing himself in understanding wind and lightning.
The Fire Ape immediately became even more excited and ran out in a flash.
During these few days, there were always Shamans who came in twos and threes to observe the area. Most of these people had black feathers in their hair, which was completely different from White Bull Tribe.
Once some of them entered the 30,000 feet area after observing the area, a Fire Ape would suddenly appear and swing its rod madly at them while roaring. Most of these Shamans were Fledgling Shamans. Even if they knew some divine abilities and Arts, the Fire Ape was too quick and would usually close in on them in the blink of an eye. All those who got close to them would be sent tumbling backwards with a bang and sent flying far away by the rod.
After a few times, the number of Shamans with feathers in their hair decreased, and in the end, they all disappeared, as if they knew that they could not come to this place and had given up on it.
When Su Ming stayed in the cave abode for half a month, on this day, three long arcs charged towards him from the east. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man. He was incredibly built, and his eyes shone brightly. The two people behind him were old men. The three of them descended from the sky about 100,000 feet away from the mountain range where Su Ming was. They stood on the ground and stared at the towering mountain range in the distance.
"Clan Chief, the border line is just twenty-five thousand meters ahead of us. Previously, whenever one of our clansmen crossed that line, the monkey would suddenly appear. Although it didn't kill anyone, its attacks grew more and more vicious. The last time it struck, the clansmen all had their bones and tendons broken.
"By the looks of it, if we go in again, it will kill us," one of the old men behind the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
The other old man hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice, "If White Bull Tribe could endure it, then it's clear that the person who occupied this place is definitely not someone to be trifled with. We saw the change in the world half a month ago very clearly. This person … I think we should wait for the Patriarch to come back before we deal with him," the other old man said in a low voice.
"That's right. The Patriarch has been away for almost a month. Before he left, he said that he would be back in about a month. The Patriarch went out this time to ask Madam Ji for help in destroying White Bull Tribe. We can wait for a few more days."
The two old men tried to persuade him, but the middle-aged man in the middle remained silent for a moment before he shook his head.
"The Patriarch has all of Black Crane Tribe's wealth, but he doesn't have much confidence in asking Madam Ji from Horse Leaping Summit to help us. Fortunately, the Shamans are in a state of panic right now, and since the war is still going on, we're running low on resources. That's why the Patriarch decided to ask Madam Ji for help.
"But he can only take action once. This time, we have to use it to kill Bai Ge from White Bull Tribe, but if we ask Madam Ji to take action twice, then we won't be able to pay the price. Even if we bring it out from White Bull Tribe's spoils of war, even if we don't have White Bull Tribe, it won't be worth it for us.
"We still don't know just what level of cultivation this person has. Besides, he might have caused a great commotion half a month ago, but if we don't try and find out just how powerful this person really is, then we won't be able to give an explanation when the Patriarch comes back.
"Besides, with my power as a Medial Battle Shaman, even if I can't win against him, it'll still be difficult for him to kill me within a short period of time. Unless he's a Latter Shaman or a Soul Catcher with a powerful Undying Puppet, I can still find out just how powerful he is. Don't step into the forbidden grounds. Observe carefully from the outside. I've already made my decision!" The middle-aged man spoke slowly, and fighting spirit appeared in his eyes. Cracking sounds came from his body, and his body swelled up by a fold. Like a small hill, he took huge strides forward.
With each step he took, the ground would tremble faintly. A wave of murderous aura spread out from his body and turned into a wave of impact that swept through the land under his feet, stirring up a layer of dust.
His speed became faster, and eventually, he turned into a sonic boom that fused together with the tremors on the ground, turning into a force that charged towards the mountain range where Su Ming was.
Sixty thousand feet, fifty thousand feet, forty thousand feet … thirty thousand feet!
The man moved like a violent gust of wind. When he arrived at the line of thirty thousand feet, he did not stop for even a single moment. He took a swift step forward, but right at the instant his foot landed, a roar traveled forth, and a fiery red shadow appeared. At the same time, a piercing sound that seemed to have caused space itself to tremble charged towards the man.
It was a staff that had been swung upwards!
A glint appeared in the man's eyes. He let out a cold harrumph and did not dodge. He clenched his right hand into a fist and hurled it towards the incoming staff. The instant their fists collided, booming sounds reverberated in the air. The staff was bounced off, and even the Fire Ape within it was forced back by that one punch.
The man did not have it easy either. His body froze for a brief moment, but he continued moving forward into the area of thirty thousand feet.
As the Fire Ape roared and charged towards the man once again, a murderous aura shone in the eyes of the tribe leader of Black Crane Tribe. He lifted his hands and slammed them against the ground.
The ground suddenly trembled, and as the ground trembled, it seemed to affect the sky, causing ripples to appear in the sky, and the Fire Ape's speed froze for a moment.
Almost the instant the Fire Ape froze, the man took a step forward and rose into the air. His right leg whipped the air with a hum, and with a powerful force, he lashed out towards the Fire Ape.
With the Fire Ape's strength, it did not care about that kick. Just as it was about to lift the staff and fight against the man once again, the air before it suddenly distorted, and Su Ming appeared. He was so quick that he stirred up a violent gust of wind that swept through the area. Su Ming was dressed in a long black robe and wore a black mask. As his hair danced in the air, he hurled a punch towards the man's incoming leg.
That punch contained some of the epiphany Su Ming had gained from the Provenance of Wind over the past few days, as well as some of his understanding towards the Essence of Lightning. As he hurled his punch forward, wind and thunder roared, and the momentum of it shook the sky.
Wind caused Su Ming's punch to be swift and unbreakable! Lightning caused Su Ming's punch to seem as if it contained the might of heaven! The power of the Berserker Bones in his body erupted forth. In fact, the instant Su Ming's punch landed, the illusion of Han Mountain Bell manifested on it, as if his fist had turned into Han Mountain Bell!
The instant his fist crashed into the man's leg, a loud bang rang out, and the man's right leg snapped. His face instantly turned pale and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His body was swept away by the violent gust of wind and was flung several hundreds of feet away. He landed outside the boundary of the land, and the two old men who had followed him immediately went up to support him.
Su Ming stood before the Fire Ape and withdrew his right hand as he spoke languidly, "Don't bother me. This is a warning. Don't force me to kill. Don't let your family die with you. Don't let your tribe disappear from the land of the Shamans!"
It's raining every day, and it's been so many days … Peony River is a basin. From what I remember, there have been a few floods in the past …
When I see the news talking about floods in various places, I feel a headache coming on. Do you know what will happen if there are no updates for the past few days?
