"Goodbye, I believe that you will be able to reach the center." Chief Xin led his tribesmen to send Xia Qi and the others out of the village and said to them.
"Thank you for your blessings, we think so too." Xia Qi didn't hide his smile and said, "Thank you for your trust in us, see you next time."
After that, Xia Qi led the rest of the people and continued to head west. As for the warriors, they had already set off.
"Goodbye!"
Chief Xin felt a few more bracelets in his arms and couldn't help but sigh at how generous Xia Qi was. He didn't know how many things Xia Qi had, but that wasn't important. What was important was that not only did his tribe get to train, but they also got a lot of rewards.
As for the warriors on his side who were worried about casualties, there were dozens of them who were resting on their beds because they were too tired and didn't even have the strength to walk.
.....
Actually, Gu Zheng had been watching from the back. No matter what, they just needed to practice in actual combat. He didn't know much about it, so he couldn't teach them. He took the opportunity to start condensing the Joss Flame power of the statue. He wanted to fill up all the Demonic Grass. This way, he would be able to face the unknown enemy better.
If it wasn't for the lack of Joss Flame power in his body, he wouldn't have used the increasingly scarce Fiendish Power.
With the combination of the two, it was almost as powerful as Jin Xian at his peak.
The statue would definitely be taken down at the end. Now that it had accumulated a huge amount of Joss Flame power, he had to hurry up.
Even so, he still paid attention to everything in the group because this was the power he needed to leave this place quickly. He couldn't afford any mistakes.
After three days of running at top speed, the team arrived at a new village.
Dream Cloud Village!
When they arrived, the chief of Dream Cloud Village was already waiting for them outside with a few people. When they saw their arrival, they were so enthusiastic that Xia Qi felt a little uncomfortable.
"Is it Elder Xia and the others? Please come in, come in. "
When they arrived at the village, they realized that they were about to run out of food. Only then did they understand why they were so enthusiastic.
However, Xia Qi didn't talk nonsense. After sitting down, he took out two bracelets as a deposit.
"Since your tribe is like this, we will wait for you at the open space in front in two days."
"No problem. Patriarch Xin has already sent someone to inform us of your situation. We are still very grateful for your assistance." The other side expressed their gratitude.
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries and briefly talked about the effects of the ancestral god's blessing and the number of warriors here. Xia Qi then got up and left.
"Hurry up and find them. Tell them to stop borrowing food from nearby areas. Now that we don't lack food, there's no need for us to beg others," Dream Cloud Village's chief said to the people behind him after Xia Qi left.
Two days later, the familiar battle began again.
But this time, even though the blessings were different from before, the number of injured had decreased by a lot. This showed that the previous training was very effective.
This time, they stayed here for two more days. Because the other party was weak, Xia Qi gave him another two days to recover. Otherwise, the other party would have fainted from exhaustion after such a high-intensity battle.
After leaving Dream Cloud Village, which they were reluctant to part with, the group continued their journey.
Originally, Xia Qi had planned to take a break and let everyone practice more to digest their previous gains.
But he didn't expect that ten days later, more than a dozen people would block the road. When they saw the group appear, they immediately rushed up. Their excited expressions made Hai Ming, who was walking in front, almost draw his weapon.
"Is this Elder Xia?" the leader of the group shouted in front of the group.
"What? You are? "Elder Xia came out from the middle of the group. He didn't understand why these strangers were looking for him.
"Hehe, Elder Xia, I've heard a lot about you. Your warriors are really majestic," the leader of the group laughed and praised Elder Xia. He then changed his tone and continued speaking.
"Do you still need a sparring partner? We definitely provide the best service. "
"You mean you want us to go to your place to spar?" Xia Qi said with some surprise. Seeing the other party nod, he couldn't help but ask.
"How did you know about us?"
"A few days ago, the elders of Dream Cloud Village asked to borrow food from us. When we were about to give it to them, they went back. Only then did I know the whole story. Do you still need a sparring partner?" The elder didn't hide anything and laughed at them.
"Oh, I see!" Xia Qi subconsciously wanted to refuse because this wasn't in line with their plan. However, his ears twitched and he heard Gu Zheng's instructions.
"Of course, but in terms of remuneration, we only have two full bracelets and food for your warriors. If you are willing, then please prepare."
This reward was actually a lot less than the previous ones. Because those two villages were unlucky, Gu Zheng simply gave them more. However, the rewards later on would not be as much. Although Gu Zheng still had a lot of money, enough for him to squander, he still needed to prepare for the future. Although Gu Zheng still had a lot of money, enough for him to squander, he still needed to prepare for the future.
Besides, the other party took the initiative to come to him. He couldn't be a fool.
"Absolutely!" the elder said with a smile.
Two bracelets were equivalent to a year's worth of food for them. As long as they paid a certain price, it was definitely worth it.
Moreover, it could also train his warriors. Why wouldn't he do something like killing two birds with one stone?
The whole group stopped here and began to train with this tribe.
However, what Xia Qi didn't expect was that after leaving this tribe, just as they passed by another tribe, another tribe stopped them and asked to train with them.
Afraid that the other party wouldn't be willing, they even said that their blessings were of the rare spiritual type.
And this was just the beginning. Because all the tribes on this road knew that there was a rich tribe that was training their soldiers. Except for a few villages that didn't have the permission of the ancestor god, the others who didn't care about the ancestor god's blessings all stopped them on the road and asked to train with them.
As for Xia Qi, under Gu Zheng's instructions, he didn't refuse anyone and began to train with them.
Time flew by. One day after half a year, Gu Zheng's group finally arrived at the last village. After a friendly exchange of pointers, they left with the other party's passionate farewell.
According to them, they were the last tribe in the south. If they went east, there wouldn't be any other villages. It wouldn't be long before they reached the eastern border.
The east side was similar to the west side. It was also an area with many demons. Furthermore, there were very few plains there. Most of it was high and low mountain peaks and a continuous stretch of small hills. The terrain was completely different from this side.
At the intersection of their borders, there was an obvious dividing ridge. Mountains that were more than a hundred feet high were not far away. They went all the way along the border to the northern border. It was like a protruding mountain that separated the eastern side from the rest of the world.
After half a year of non-stop training, these 60,000 people had undergone a complete transformation. Every one of them had a steady aura, the aura of a veteran. Moreover, the strength of most of them had increased by a minor level. Their strength had undergone an earth-shattering change.
However, it wasn't without a price. Even with Gu Zheng's protection and a group of Celestial Immortals protecting them, there were still more than a hundred people who were eternally sleeping on the road.
During this time, Gu Zheng felt that his body was full of incense power and finally reappeared in front of everyone.
According to Gu Zheng's route, they only needed to reach the border and then head north along the border.
On the third day after Gu Zheng came out, they saw the continuous mountain peak from afar. After getting a little closer, they headed north along the side.
At this time, Gu Zheng didn't let them continue to compete with each other. He even slowed down a lot.
After such a long continuous battle, it could be said that everyone had been injured. It could even be said that most of them had 'died' once. Some had even died more than once. Under such a life and death experience, the experience gained couldn't be described with words.
Of course, all of this depended on Gu Zheng's miraculous rebirth.
Even if Gu Zheng went out, he wouldn't be able to replicate such a miracle. Because only when combined with the incense power could it produce such a huge effect. If it was outside, even if the Li Ring's energy was used up, it wouldn't be able to heal so many people. At most, it would be able to heal the injuries in their bodies. It would be impossible for them to regrow limbs.
Along the way, Gu Zheng deliberately let them rest. Everyone slowly continued on their way.
On the other hand, Hai Ming and Ren Ling each pulled out a dozen of the most powerful people in their team and fought there every day. It became one of the few things that they had fun with.
After half a month like this, Gu Zheng felt that they had eliminated the hostility in their hearts. When he wanted to urge everyone to speed up and practice again, Gu Zheng heard a faint crying sound coming from the mountain range beside him.
Gu Zheng immediately stopped the team behind him. After the surrounding noise disappeared, the faint crying sound became more obvious.
In the next instant, Gu Zheng saw a mountain full of humans. They were shouting in fear as they crawled over. Behind them, there was a group of demons with sinister smiles on their faces. They were grabbing the humans who had fallen behind one by one and throwing them to the ground.
This made Gu Zheng's face change. He didn't know why such a thing happened.
Those humans seemed to be running away. Could it be that the rules in the east were not the same?
"Ancestor God, what's going on?" Xia Qi came closer and asked. Not only him, but the others also looked at Gu Zheng curiously. Could it be that there was a new order?
"You guys take some elites to the mountain peak over there and prepare to provide support." Gu Zheng pointed to the side of the mountain.
"Ancestor God, that is the east area. If we do that, we will be crossing the line!" Xia Qi said subconsciously. He thought that Gu Zheng wanted to take them to the mountain range to do some zipping.
"I know. Hurry up and bring some people over. I will wait for you over there." Gu Zheng left a sentence and directly rushed to the sky, flying over there.
"Ancestor God, Ancestor God!" Xia Qi wanted to persuade, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng's trace had disappeared.
"Don't worry, Elder Xia. Since my master is not afraid, what are you worried about? You just stay here and watch. We will go and help master." Hai Ming said to Xia Qi and then said to Ren Ling.
"Let's go, little sister. Let's take the team and see what master wants to do!"
Hai Ming and Ren Ling pulled up their team and chased after Gu Zheng's figure.
One must know that there was some distance between here and there. If they didn't run, it would take a long time to walk.
Xia Qi looked at the two teams from the side and left. After thinking about it, he didn't follow them. He just told everyone to stay here and wait for orders. If they needed to go over, they would need someone to be responsible for this place.
On this side, Gu Zheng almost instantly crossed the mountain range and stopped in mid-air.
At this moment, there were thousands of humans running for their lives. Behind them, there seemed to be only about a thousand demons chasing after them. Behind them, there were even more humans who were tied up and lying on the ground in despair. Some of them were even twisting and turning in an attempt to escape. However, with such a slow speed, even if they crawled for a day, they wouldn't be able to crawl far.
Gu Zheng's appearance didn't attract anyone's attention. Below, the game of wolves catching sheep was still playing.
Although there were some humans with good cultivation in the crowd, the demons on the other side were not weak at all. If they encountered someone they couldn't beat, a group of them would directly rush over and beat him up.
Two fists couldn't fight against four hands. Besides, there were very few such powerful humans. Otherwise, if they gathered together, they might be able to resist one or two.
Gu Zheng looked around and didn't sense any powerful aura. Immediately, he didn't hesitate and waved his hand downward. A golden light was emitted from his palm, forming a golden pillar that instantly fell on the mountain peak below.
A layer of golden light instantly rippled from the point of contact, sweeping down along the mountain peak at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, the situation within a radius of ten miles was sensed by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng clenched his hand. The people who were stunned by the appearance of the golden light felt their vision blur and found themselves in another place.
All the humans, regardless of whether they were captives or fleeing, had all gathered below Gu Zheng. As for those demons, they had similarly appeared not far away from him.
"It's the human ancestor god." A sharp-eyed person suddenly saw Gu Zheng above his head and shouted in surprise. Everyone looked up and found that it was indeed Gu Zheng. Everyone was so happy that they cried tears of joy.
"Great, we're saved!"
"Wu wu, poor child, you died so miserably!"
"Quickly come and help me. Untie these damn ropes."
The group of people below was in a mess. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were trying to break free from their ropes.
Gu Zheng grabbed downwards, and the ropes on those people's bodies all fell off. Following that, Gu Zheng threw the ropes out. Those ropes in the air flew straight towards the demons in the distance, forming a fine net outside, trapping them inside and preventing them from coming out.
"What's going on? Why are they chasing after you? "Gu Zheng's figure descended a little and asked the humans below.
In some places, some humans had already died. The smell of blood in the air hadn't dissipated yet. It seemed like they had just died.
"Lord Ancestor God, please save us. They want to capture us and eat us." After hearing all kinds of words, chaos broke out. One person first shouted loudly, followed by many people shouting randomly, asking Gu Zheng to save them.
"Come out and speak alone. With so many people, how can I understand you?" Gu Zheng suddenly said, suppressing their voices.
Finally, an old woman with a hunchback was elected.
However, although she was a little old, her eyes were shining. Her cultivation was actually at the fifth step.
"Lord Ancestor God, this is what happened." The old woman made a long story short. In just a few words, Gu Zheng understood what had happened.
It turned out that they were all in a village not far from here. It was also a demon's village, and they were humans who were captured by them. Moreover, they had been there for more than fifteen years. Just as they were about to be redistributed in a few years, something unexpected happened.
There weren't many of them captured. The demon didn't want the others because they couldn't afford to raise them. Therefore, there were only a few thousand of them. The villagers who had a fortuitous encounter fell to other places.
They were all from the same village, so naturally, they were very familiar with each other. In the end, a month ago, one of them suddenly disappeared.
No matter how they searched, they couldn't find him. Because they sometimes had to go underground to dig some special things, so they thought that he didn't come back. Or simply, a cave collapsed and he was buried underground. Such things had happened in the past.
However, after only three days, another person disappeared. It was five people in a row. This made everyone feel that something was wrong. One had to know that even in the past ten years, there was an average of one person per year who went missing. Moreover, there were corpses that could be found.
However, this time, they had completely disappeared from the world. Almost everyone knew. They were afraid that there was a problem in the place they worked, so they refused to go out.
However, what made them somewhat fearful was that even if they obediently stayed in the place where they lived, there would be people disappearing almost every few days. It was as if something was watching them. However, no matter what they did, they couldn't guard against it. There were still people who disappeared without a trace.
At that time, they didn't think of the demon at all. Because in this place, if a demon dared to eat any human or their own kind, even if it was a corpse, they would be discovered almost at the same time as they were eaten. In this place, no one could hide from this world. No one wanted to test the law.
At first, they didn't know either. They thought that it was some ghost or underground creature that had been bewitched by the heart's devil. In the end, by chance, one of them discovered that the person who kidnapped them was actually the tribe's ancestor god.
What made them even more desperate was that the ancestor god used some unknown method to block the spying of this world. Even if he ate a human, it wouldn't attract the attention of this world.
After they heard this news, they gathered together to discuss. They decided that when they went out to work, they would take the opportunity to escape together. After all, no one would believe them.
Therefore, a day ago, they collectively escaped in this direction. Those demons generally wouldn't cross the border. As long as they ran to the southern area, they would be safe.
However, they had only escaped for a day when the other side's ancestor god discovered the problem. He directly sent his personal guards to capture them. The result was what Gu Zheng saw.
"The ancestor god who dares to eat humans is really courting death!"
