After all, human nature was selfish.
Even if those martial artists with low cultivation were disciples of the major forces, how could they care about others in a situation where their own lives were in danger?
Therefore, the leader of the Assassin's Union was the first to speak, "I don't think that the probability of that happening is high. The cultivators who went crazy before all had low cultivations, and none of them were strong. Therefore, I think Martial House Master Qu is worrying too much."
"Yes, the strength of the strong is very strong, and it is difficult for them to be eroded by the black fog. Even if there are one or two occasionally, as long as we act in time, we can kill them."
The leader of the Mercenary Union immediately echoed.
"I think so too. Now we can't care about anything else. If we can't save our lives, then the others will die."
Lionheart King said with a strong sense of righteousness.
"Lionheart King is right. First of all, we have to ensure our safety. Only then can we have a chance to turn the tide."
Jiang Wenjian also expressed his support for opening the barrier.
The strong were always full of confidence, and they were more superstitious about their own strength. Unsurprisingly, even Yu Tiejian, Jiang Wenjian, and even the Great Shaman and Old Grimm hoped to open the barrier and release their true strength to deal with the crisis.
Tianjizi and Qu Wuyou looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They had already expected this result. If it weren't for He Ling 'er's reminder, they would actually be more inclined to open the barrier.
Perhaps, as the leader of the Assassin League said, the strong had a certain immunity to the black fog?
Even if some strong were eroded and went crazy, they believed that with so many people working together, they could control the situation. They had to say that they were tempted at this moment.
"Hey, why is no one from the Sacred Lady Tribe coming?"
Qu Wuyou finally decided to open the barrier according to everyone's wishes. Only then did he realize that no one from the Sacred Lady Tribe had appeared.
"Could it be that this was not done by the Ghost Hunting Tribe? Could it be done by the Sacred Lady Tribe? "
Lionheart King questioned as if he was afraid of chaos.
Although he had previously stood on the opposite side of Gama Kan in order to disassociate himself from the Dark Council, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Why was the Western Martial World in chaos, while the Eastern Martial World was watching from the sidelines?
Most of the Western warriors agreed with him. They started to question, "That's right. There is no one in the base of the Ghost Hunting Tribe. It doesn't mean that they did it."
"In fact, I'm also doubtful. The Ghost Hunter Tribe only has a hundred warriors. Do they have the ability to kill all of them?"
"Is it possible that the Saintess Tribe and the Ghost Hunting Tribe have colluded together to set up this killing trap?"
"Who knows? In any case, the forces that didn't come are all suspects."
"Yes, I also think that the Sacred Maiden Tribe is very suspicious. They didn't even show their faces at this time. It's very suspicious."
…
The faces of the various Sacred Sects turned ugly when they heard the western forces expressing their doubts one after another.
Although they did not think that the Sacred Maiden Tribe would do such a thing, since someone had doubts, they had to show evidence.
"What are you arguing about? Just send someone to the Sacred Maiden Tribe's encampment to see what's going on."
Yu Tiejian had a headache from the noise and shouted impatiently.
"The Sacred Maiden Tribe would not do such a heartless thing. Come on, go to the base of the Sacred Maiden Tribe and see what's going on."
The relationship between the Holy-sword Villa and the Sacred Maiden Tribe had always been good. Naturally, they did not want to become the subject of ridicule by these foreign devils, so they simply called a disciple and ordered him.
"Omandi, you go and have a look."
It had to be said that the Western forces were very suspicious. Now, not only did they suspect the Sacred Goddess Tribe, but they even suspected that the entire Eastern Martial World had joined forces to do this. Everyone exchanged glances, and the leader of the Assassin League understood. He calmly ordered one of his subordinates beside him.
"Yes!"
Omandi responded respectfully and left with the disciple of the Holy-sword Villa.
They did not know that it was not that the Sacred Maiden Tribe did not want to come, but that they could not come out at all. Although the divine formation set by He Ling 'er could protect them from the erosion of the black fog, it was also a kind of imprisonment in disguise.
In the dense forest outside the Wulun Valley, a strange pure black statue made of unknown materials stood on the altar!
Under the altar, a large number of black-masked men knelt on the ground. The Demon Ghost knelt at the forefront and murmured.
Following his incomprehensible chanting, red lines of blood emerged from the ground like long snakes with intelligence. They crawled along the altar and onto the strange statue, quietly seeping into it.
As the blood threads seeped into the statue, it gradually emitted a layer of blurry red light. The black material showed signs of turning red, especially the feet of the statue, which had already turned black and red. It looked extremely strange and eerie.
After a long time, the Demon Ghost stopped chanting and looked up at the statue with fanatical eyes. He said in a deep voice, "The sacrifice is far from enough. Continue the sacrifice."
"Yes, leader!"
A black-clothed, devil-masked man behind him responded in a stiff, inhuman voice. He stood up and took out a black jade bottle. After opening the bottle stopper, clouds of thick black mist diffused out, and soon the entire jungle was shrouded in it.
The moment he opened the bottle, the black mist permeated the blood lines. Following that, a drastic change occurred in the Ulun Mountain Valley. The black mist that had originally shrouded the various encampments suddenly started to churn and spread wildly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it had filled half of the valley.
Whoosh!
As the black fog spread, strange sounds came from the black fog.
The people who were already scared out of their wits became even more nervous. The valley fell into a deathly silence. They subconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons and stared unblinkingly at the black fog where the strange sound was coming from. The vast valley fell into a deathly silence. Only the thumping of their hearts could be heard.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, an inhuman scream of pain broke the silence. A warrior who had been injured before was holding his head and rolling on the ground.
His companion beside him turned pale with fright and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but unexpectedly, the martial artist suddenly opened his scarlet evil eyes, and under the horrified gaze of his companion, he opened his mouth and bit his hand.
"Jiang Wu, are you crazy? Why did you bite me?"
His companion was still in disbelief and didn't react at all. He pushed him away and shouted angrily.
He didn't notice that a wisp of black fog quietly entered his body through his wound and crazily flowed into his brain along his meridians. He was in so much pain that he held his head and rolled on the ground in pain.
People around him looked at him with trembling legs and began to step back subconsciously. But after a while, he stood up and looked no different from an ordinary person.
"Li Lianshang, are you okay?"
A warrior who was familiar with him stood not far from him and asked cautiously.
But he didn't wait for Li Lianshang's answer. Instead, two figures rushed over like hunting dogs.
The man was shocked and retreated without hesitation. He shouted angrily, "Everyone, let's attack together. They've gone crazy."
Unfortunately, the human heart was often the most unpredictable thing. Even if they knew, they couldn't control it in time.
These two crazy people would bring an even greater disaster. But there were still some people who held the mentality that if they didn't die, they wouldn't die. They fled into the distance without looking back. Even if they rushed into the black fog, it was better than being killed by the madmen.
As a result, the warriors who wanted to go forward to help hesitated. They had already run away. Why would they foolishly rush forward and take the risk?
In this moment of hesitation, the man from before was thrown to the ground by the two figures who were like mad dogs. He let out a shrill scream.
At this moment, he noticed to his astonishment that Jiang Wu and Li Lianshang possessed extraordinary strength. Moreover, their eyes were scarlet red and filled with a ruthless, cruel, and evil aura, causing him to arouse a dense feeling of sorrow and despair. But this sort of sorrow and despair didn't last for too long before a wave of intense headache caused him to roll ceaselessly on the ground and emit a shrill howl that didn't seem human.
But after a short time, he jumped up. His eyes were also scarlet red. He followed behind Jiang Wu and Li Lianshang and began to attack the fleeing warriors like a mad dog.
"Ah!
Ah!
Ah! "
The screams were endless. This was only a scene that happened in a corner of the valley. Similar things were happening everywhere and were constantly repeating themselves.
These warriors who had been eroded by the black fog and lost their rationality seemed to have forgotten that they were humans. As if they had rabies, their eyes were bloodshot and they bit or scratched anyone they saw. As long as they broke the skin of their target, they would immediately stop and bite other targets.
But this wasn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing was those who had escaped into the black fog to avoid being killed.
They couldn't see their fingers in the black fog, but they couldn't care less. They ran at full speed and ran for their lives. But as they ran, they bumped into a group of people. Before they could react, they realized that countless hands had reached out and scratched them until they were covered in blood. Then …
They felt a sharp pain in their heads and quickly lost their rationality. They became a member of the "mad dog" army.
The entire valley had turned into a living hell in a short period of time. The number of the "Mad Dog" army continued to increase, and they kept attacking the warriors who were fleeing in panic.
How many people were there in the Ulun Valley? A few days ago, there were only a few hundred thousand people. But as the Warriors' Assembly entered the final stage, more and more warriors heard the news and rushed over.
Of course, these people who arrived later were mostly warriors with low cultivation. Some of them came to watch the show, some to set up stalls to earn some Spirit Crystals, and some just came to broaden their horizons.
So far, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that there were more than two hundred thousand people in the Ulun Valley. Seventy to eighty thousand of them were low level warriors.
But it was these low level warriors who had become the butcher's knife to kill high level warriors.
They were in groups and didn't fear death. It was as if they didn't know what pain was, let alone fear. As long as they saw a living person who hadn't been infected, they would pounce on them like mad dogs. Even if their heads were smashed with a slap, they would bite or scratch their opponent's skin before they died.
It had to be said that the biggest weakness of Qi training warriors was the lack of physical strength. After all, body tempering techniques had long been lost. Even if it was a Holy Martial Realm warrior, if he wasn't prepared, he would be easily injured by the "mad dogs" who had become extremely strong.
Once the skin was broken, the black fog would enter the opponent's body through the wound and quickly corrode the opponent's brain, turning them into controlled killing machines.
The leaders of the major forces looked at this hellish scene from afar. Their faces turned deathly pale. They couldn't figure out how these low-level warriors could injure those high-level warriors.
Although the Sacred Maiden Tribe was trapped by the array, Ye Qingxuan still worked with the other Sacred Sects to open the enchantment.
