In the far north, there was a long desert. No one knew where the end of the desert was.
In the desert, there was a "devil". For countless years, they had been invading the human world.
Legend had it that in ancient times, there was a demon wave that destroyed the world and almost overturned the human world. Fortunately, the sages resisted and saved the human race. The destruction of the demon wave was seen by many as the end of the ancient era.
The two most powerful countries in the north were called Japanese Jing and Japanese Mu.
Both countries had armies stationed at the border of the desert to suppress the demon wave.
Therefore, this desert was often called the Barren Border.
It meant the border of the human race, the boundary between prosperous and barren.
The two powerful countries in the Northern Region competed in all aspects, but they always worked together in the face of the desert. Just this point alone was enough to let people have a glimpse of the horror of the demons.
But for most people in the modern world, the demons were just a legend. Because since ancient times, not a single demon had been able to walk out of the desert.
Most likely, the only remaining fear people had of the "Devil" was the infamous Nine Great Devils.
At the easternmost part of the desert was endless quicksand. Aside from the endless quicksand, the border of the desert could be divided into two halves. The eastern side was the territory of the Mu Country, and the western side was the territory of the Jing Country.
As one of the most powerful countries in the Northern Region, the Mu Country occupied the largest grassland in the modern world. Of course, they had the most powerful warhorses.
There were ten recognized strongest cavalry armies in the world, and the Mu Country occupied two of them.
Standing at the border of the desert guarded by the Mu Country, the left side was a boundless grassland, while the right side was an endless desert. Heaven and earth drew a huge divide here. Life and death were so close, and the contrast was so strong.
The military tents belonging to the Mu Country were located on this side of the grassland. Majestic armoured knights patrolled the border. Unless the war started, no one was willing to step foot in the desert.
Even though this place seemed to be isolated from the world, guarding the edge of the human world alone. It seemed that as long as one did not step into the desert, they would still be in the human world.
The desert was dead silent. There was never any wind. It seemed that even the wind would die if it blew here. It was impossible for there to be any animals. Other than the Yin Demons that occasionally wandered here, the soldiers stationed here had never seen a second life form.
The knight patrolling the border reined in his warhorse and stopped to look at the desert. In his field of vision, a figure slowly approached and became clearer.
His long hair was tied up in a simple ponytail, hanging behind his head. He was wearing an ordinary sheepskin coat, which was what all the herdsmen on the grassland wore.
His hair was a little dry, and his lips were a little cracked. He looked like an ordinary person who couldn't stand the heat. This wasn't unusual. Any expert below the God's Descent Realm who ventured into the desert would be like this. Only the Golden Body Jade Essence could ensure that one's physical body would not be invaded in the desert.
This person was dragging a huge leather bag, leaving a long trail on the desert ground as he slowly walked over. The black stains on his body were also imprinted in the eyes of the knight. That was demon blood. "Demon" blood was black.
Of course, the most shocking thing was his face.
When you saw him, you would be shocked. How could someone produce this type of appearance? How could she be so "beautiful"?
This kind of "beauty" even transcended gender and had a charm that could turn all living things upside down.
Even if his lips were dry and cracked, even if his skin was rough, his facial features together were irredeemably charming.
But none of the knights dared to look at him more than a few times. Previously, the leader of a tribe coveted this face. As a result, he had been "missing" until now. His tribe had long been divided up.
"Zhao!" The leading knight laughed loudly. "My Hyaku! The great God Cang Tu bless your safe return! "
Hyaku meant to lead, while Hyaku meant to include and complete.
Ya Gai was a person who would pull you forward at all times. In the Mu Kingdom, Ya Gai was equivalent to a brother.
God Cang Tu was the religion of the Mu Kingdom. According to legend, he was a god with the body of a wolf, the wings of an eagle, and the feet of a horse. He was the god of wolves, eagles, and horses. But there were also priests who believed that he didn't have a specific body and couldn't be accurately described. He didn't have any appearance that humans could imagine, but at the same time, he included all imagination. He didn't exist anywhere, but at the same time, he was everywhere.
"Yuwen." The young man who walked back from the desert smiled and said, "It wasn't God Cang Tu that allowed me to return safely. It was my knife and fist."
The captain of the cavalry, Yuwen Duo, was a majestic man with many braids. He rode a tall horse and his voice was like a horn. He laughed and jumped off the horse. He took a few steps forward and hugged the young man.
As they hugged, he whispered, "In the Mu Kingdom, you should believe in God Cang Tu, even if it's just words. Cooperate with me. This will save you a lot of trouble. "
When they separated, he changed into his candid look. "How many heads did my Hyaku cut off this time?"
Yuwen Duo looked no more than 30 years old. In the Mu Kingdom, it was not easy to become a captain at this age, especially since he was a captain of the cavalry. It was obvious that not only was he strong, but his family background was also not bad.
The young man with the surname Zhao carried the huge sheepskin bag in front of him and piled it at Yuwen Duo's feet. "It's all here."
"So many?"
Although he had guessed it, Yuwen Duo couldn't help but look happy.
"Continue patrolling!"
Yuwen Duo shouted and ordered his subordinates to continue patrolling. He lifted the huge sheepskin bag and led the horse with one hand. He called out, "Let's rest in the tent!"
With Yuwen Duo's status, he had his own tent at the border of the grassland. Of course, it couldn't be too big. It was limited by his position.
However, with this harvest, he might be able to expand it.
The sheepskin bag contained the heads of the Yin Demons. It was said that there were many types of demons, but the soldiers at the border could only see the Yin Demons.
The Yin Demons' bodies were half illusory and half real. Their heads were formed by Demonic Qi. Only their bodies had a real shape, either in the shape of a beast or a human. However, after death, only their heads remained. They turned from illusory to real, while their bodies turned from real to illusory and disappeared.
After counting the number of Yin Demon heads, Yuwen Duo became even more excited.
He couldn't show it in front of his subordinates before, but now he didn't hide it. "Every harvest is more than the last. Hyaku, you are the strongest genius I have ever seen! Even compared to the Tianjiao in the Imperial Court, you might not be worse! "
"Maybe you just haven't seen enough." The youth surnamed Zhao's expression was calm. "There are more geniuses in this world than you can imagine. However, many of them … may not have the chance to grow. The world is very cruel. "
Yuwen Duo didn't know how to respond to this. He could only skip over it and say sincerely, "Rucheng Hyaku, I will help you ask for merit. His Majesty is a great talent, and he only promotes talent. It doesn't matter where you come from. With your strength and talent, you can definitely rise to the top in my Great Mu. "
Zhao Rucheng shook his head.
In the past, he had to be well-dressed and eat well. However, right now, he was sitting on a thick blanket, gnawing on a fat lamb leg.
"Same as before, the merit is all yours. I only want supplies. "
The so-called supplies were nothing more than medicine, dao essence stones, some emergency formation disks, as well as the necessary life soul stones to enter the desolate border. Human cultivators used life soul stones to resist the resistance and corrosion in the desert.
"You just came back, and you want to go again?" Yuwen Duo was shocked.
Zhao Rucheng casually threw away the clean lamb leg bone and tore off another one. He said casually, "I feel the opportunity to break through."
"Then you should rest well and break through in a safe place …"
"It's faster in the desolate border."
"Even so …" Yuwen Duo hesitated, but still asked, "All this time, I actually have a question I want to ask you. I really want to know, what made you work so hard? "
Zhao Rucheng stopped gnawing on the lamb leg. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and looked at his heart.
"It's this heart of regret."
