Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Shrill whistles tore the quietness of the jungle apart, sounding like the screams of eagles.
Feng Xing, who was hiding in the jungle behind the village, released three whistling arrows, accurately brushing against the toes of an elderly man on the other side of the river and deeply sinking into the soft muddy ground. A few spell symbols lit up on those whistling arrows, and wisps of black smoke rose from the arrows. Within the smoke, a few hideous skeletal skulls appeared, laughing in a creepy voice.
An evil power vibration spread out from the arrows, quickly shrouding the jungle within miles in radius.
The arrows released by Feng Xing were all embossed with spell symbols of the 'Terror Magic', which were unique to the Magi Palace. Once activated, these spell symbols could release an extremely terrifying sense of power. Ordinary Junior Magi who were hit by the Terror Magic would scream hoarsely, soften their bodies, and lose all of their strength.
The crowd on the other side of the river was instantly thrown into chaos. Large groups of women and children ran around in panic.
However, the power of the Terror Magic was way too great. They were so frightened that even their legs had softened. They screamed and ran for quite a while, but still couldn't run more than ten zhang away.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Ji Hao pulled out the long black dagger and stroked the edge of the dagger with his finger. Suddenly, a raging fire spurted out from the dagger, which had a weird red glow on it. The raging fire spread to tens of zhang away, leaving a deep crack on the surface of the river.
Within the rising watery mist, a tall and sturdy man wearing leather clothes walked over with big steps. His entire body was covered in blood, and he was carrying a steel axe. With a single kick, he crushed the three arrows released by Feng Xing into pieces.
"We are warriors of the Gold Wolf Clan, and they are clansmen of the Cyan Wolf Clan." The sturdy man, whose skin was covered in blood and whose face was even a bit blurry, yelled out from the other side of the river, "Our village was destroyed, and we are the only ones who have escaped. Why are you scaring our women and children? "
Ji Hao swung his arm, and a three-foot long black bone cane stuck into the mud beside him. A stream of black smoke rose seven to eight zhang high, then quickly transformed into a tens of zhang in radius totem flag, fluttering in the wind. On the surface of the flag, which was condensed from the black smoke, a hazy silhouette of a sturdy man was standing proudly with his upper body bared.
All human clans had their own unique totem patterns, but the human silhouette standing proudly between the sky and the earth was the common totem pattern shared by the alliance of human clans.
"We are from Pu Ban City, warriors under the command of the human emperor. We were ordered to patrol the jungle and kill all non-humankind beings. "Ji Hao showed his identity with the totem battle flag, then continued," Are you from the north side of the Chi Ban Mountain? How can you prove your identity? "
The old people, women and children all started to cry themselves hoarse. The strong man with the big axe shouted angrily, "How can we prove our identity? We were chased all the way here by the evil spirits of the strange races. Can this prove anything? "
He tore off the animal skin that was draped over his body, revealing his bulging muscles on his upper body. His majestic body was densely covered in scars. There were saber wounds, sword wounds, and even scratches from claws. All of his wounds were festering, and faint black and green smoke had been puffing out from some of them. Obviously, he was poisoned.
A wound on the right chest of the man looked even more hideous. Half of the body of a baby-arm-thick black centipede had drilled into his body. The broken body of the centipede was still squirming and quivering. Tens of sharp claws of the centipede had even messed up the muscles on his chest. It was not hard to imagine how badly injured his internal organs were.
"What a powerful poisonous Gu!" Yu Mu murmured behind him, "It's not a pure centipede bloodline. It seems to be a mixed blood poisonous Gu raised by a few kinds of poisonous snakes and a golden-headed giant centipede. Amazing, those non-humankind poison masters are so amazing! "
Ji Hao glanced at the wounds on the body of the man, remained silent for a while, then slowly took a few steps back and said, "Do you see the valley behind us? Walk eight hundred miles forward along this valley, and you will find a checkpoint set up by our humankind. Over there, you can find medicines, food, and people will arrange where you can go. "
Taking a deep breath, Ji Hao warned seriously, "You can only walk through this valley that I have pointed out. If you wander around and run into other troops, you will be killed as spies. Don't bring trouble to yourselves, especially when you have so many children and women with you. "
The man with the axe gasped for air, showed a faint smile on his blood-covered face and said, "Eight hundred miles? Not far … I have to find a good doctor to take this bloody centipede out for me. "
Hundreds of elderly and weak people supported each other, and under the care of tens of warriors, slowly crossed this not-so-wide and not-so-fast river.
While crossing the river, quite a few elderly and women slipped and fell. Fortunately, the man who talked to Ji Hao just now and the other few warriors reacted fast enough and pulled them out of the river.
While crossing the river, hundreds of people finally crossed the river. A group of children smelled the aroma of Yu Mu's grilled pheasants, and began crying and yelling about being hungry.
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, carefully looking at this group of refugees from the north. The muscular man with the axe was discussing something with a low voice with a few elderly men. The few elderly men's eyes were filled with expectation, while the muscular man's face showed that he was in an extremely difficult position.
Ji Hao saw that all of these refugees were more or less wounded, especially those children. Quite a few of them had been stabbed hard on their backs, and their tiny bodies were nearly cut into two. Although they had been given emergency treatment by the doctor and managed to escape from death, they had lost too much of their life-force, and were all starving.
Smelling the aroma of Yu Mu's grilled meat, these ignorant children cried even louder.
"This … brother." Under the expectant gazes of the few elderly people, the man who talked to Ji Hao just now walked over, stutteringly saluted to Ji Hao and said, "This, we were chased all the way, we didn't have time to hunt … we, can we …"
Gnashing his teeth, the man took out a fist-sized piece of magic crystal from his belt, handed it to Ji Hao and said, "I will trade this magic crystal for your food."
It was a magic crystal with a water nature, which was not of a high grade. Inside the faintly blue magic crystal was a layer of white flocs. Obviously, it contained quite a lot of impurities. Generally speaking, this was a mid-grade magic crystal. In Pu Ban City, it could be worth around ten jade coins, which was enough for a family to live comfortably for a few years.
Ji Hao took over the magic crystal without hesitation, weighed it in his hand, then looked at the man with a pair of complicated eyes and said blandly, "Not a problem. Those non-humankind beings have done so many evil things. As fellow human beings, we should help them … Yu Mu, get them some food. One of you is from the Gold Wolf Clan, and the other one is from the Cyan Wolf Clan? "
The man swallowed his saliva, subconsciously looked at the direction of the bonfire and said, "Yeah, we are Gold Wolf Clan warriors, I am a Lang Li. Our village was broken into, only a few of us managed to escape. They are clansmen of the Cyan Wolf Clan, a brother clan of our Gold Wolf Clan. We met them, they were being chased by those non-humankind beings, so we joined hands and escaped to this place. "
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, glanced at those Cyan Wolf Clan clansmen, then pointed at a few of them.
"They are also Cyan Wolf Clan warriors?"
The few warriors stood up one after another, bowed to Ji Hao from a distance away.
