Chapter 1457
"Goodbye, I believe you will definitely be able to walk into the center." Chief Xin took his tribesmen and sent Xia Qi and others out of the village, and said to them.
"Thank you for your blessings, in fact, we also think so." Xia Qi smiled without hiding the slightest, "Thank you very much for your trust in us, see you next time if we are lucky."
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 that the other party was really generous. He didn't know how much stuff the other party had in his hands, but everything was not important. The important thing was that his tribe not only got exercise, but also received a lot of rewards.
As for the casualties of the soldiers on his side, there were indeed dozens of them lying in bed to recuperate, because they were too tired and didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
Gu Zheng had actually been watching from the back. No matter what happened next, he just needed to practice in actual combat. He didn't know much and couldn't teach them. He took the opportunity to start condensing the incense power of the statue, just in time to fill up all the demon grass, so that he could better face the unknown enemy.
If the incense power in his body hadn't been insufficient last time, he wouldn't have used the increasingly scarce evil power.
With the fusion of the two, it simply exploded to the upper limit that the peak of the Golden Immortal could reach, and the power was impressive.
The statue must be demolished last, and now it has accumulated a huge amount of incense power, and now he is even more in a hurry.
But even so, he is still paying attention to everything in the team, because this is the power that allows him to leave here quickly, and there must be no mistakes.
At this time, after three days of rapid running, the team came to a new village again.
Mengyun Village!
When they arrived, the patriarch of Mengyun Village had been waiting for them outside with a few people. Seeing them coming, Xia Qi was a little uncomfortable with their enthusiasm.
"Are you Elder Xia and his party? Please come in, please come in."
After arriving at the other village, they found that the other side was almost out of food, and only then did they know why the other side was so enthusiastic.
However, Xia Qi didn't waste words. After sitting down, he took out two bracelets as a deposit.
"Since your tribe is like this, I will wait for you in the open space in front in two days."
"No problem, Chief Xin has sent someone to tell us about your affairs. Thank you very much for your assistance." This side thanked.
The two people exchanged greetings and roughly talked about the effects of the ancestral god's blessing and the number of warriors here, and Xia Qi stood up and said goodbye.
"Hurry up and find them, and tell them not to borrow food from nearby. Now we don't lack it, there is no need to beg others." After Xia Qi left, the chief of Mengyun Village said to the people behind him.
Two days later, the familiar battle started again.
But this time, even if the other side's blessing was different from before, their casualties were reduced a lot, indicating that the previous training was still very effective.
This time they stayed here for two days longer because the opponent was weak, so Xia Qi gave him two more days to recover. Otherwise, the high-intensity battle would probably make him faint.
After leaving Mengyun Village, which they were reluctant to leave, they continued to set off.
Originally, Xia Qi was ready to take a break and let everyone practice hard to digest the previous results.
But what they didn't expect was that ten days later, more than a dozen people blocked the road directly. Seeing their figures appear, they rushed up directly. The excitement made Haiming, who was walking in front, almost pull out his weapon.
"Is it Elder Xia?" A leader shouted in front of their team.
"Why? Who are you?" Elder Xia came out from the middle of the team, not understanding why these strangers were looking for him.
"Hehe, Elder Xia, I have heard of your name for a long time. Your warriors are really magnificent." The old man in the lead laughed and praised Elder Xia, and then continued to speak.
"Do you still need a sparring partner? We will definitely provide the best service."
"You mean you want us to go to your place to spar?" Xia Qi said in surprise, and asked as he watched the other party nod.
"How did you know about us?"
"Some time ago, the elders of Mengyun Village asked us to borrow food, and when we were about to give it to them, they went back. I just knew the whole story. Do you still need a sparring partner?" The old man laughed at them without hiding anything.
"Oh, that's it!" Xia Qi subconsciously wanted to refuse, because this didn't fit their plan, but when he moved his ears, he heard the instructions of Gu Zheng, and then said to him.
"Of course, but in terms of compensation, we only have two full bracelets, and food for your warriors. If you are willing, then please prepare it."
This reward is actually much less than the previous one, because the two villages are a little unlucky, Gu Zheng simply gave them more, but the later ones will not be so much. Although Gu Zheng still has a lot in his hands, enough for him to spend extravagantly, he still has to prepare for the future.
Besides, the other party took the initiative to come up, so I can't be taken advantage of.
"It's entirely possible!" the old man said with a smile.
The two bracelets are equivalent to their food for a year. As long as they pay a certain price, it's definitely worth it.
And it can also train their own warriors, why not kill two birds with one stone.
The whole team stopped here and started training with this tribe.
However, what Xia Qi didn't expect was that after leaving this tribe, just after crossing a tribe, another tribe stopped them and asked to practice with them.
Fearing that the other party was unwilling, they even said that their blessings were very rare spiritual types.
And this is just the beginning, because all the tribes on this road know that there is a rich tribe that is training soldiers on the side. Except for some villages that did not get the consent of the ancestors, other people who didn't care about the blessings of the ancestors stopped them on the road and asked to practice with the other party.
And Xia Qi, under Gu Zheng's signal, really accepted everyone and practiced with the other party.
Time passed quickly. On the second day of half a year, Gu Zheng and his party finally had a friendly exchange in the last village and left there with the other party's warm farewell.
According to them, they are the last tribe in the south. Going east, there will be no villages. It won't be long before they reach the eastern border.
The east is similar to the west, and there are also many demons in the area. Moreover, there are few plains there. Most of them are undulating mountains and a continuous range of small hills. The terrain is completely different from this side.
At their junction, there is an obvious dividing ridge. A mountain of more than ten feet is not far away. It goes along the border directly to the northern boundary, like a protruding mountain, isolating the entire world in the east.
After half a year of training, these 60,000 people have completely changed. Everyone has a calm breath, a kind of veteran's momentum, and most of them have risen a small level in strength, and their strength has changed dramatically.
However, it is not without any cost. Even with the protection given by Gu Zheng and a group of celestial beings protecting it, there are still more than a hundred people who are permanently sleeping on the road.
During this time, Gu Zheng felt the full power of incense in his body, and finally reappeared in front of everyone.
According to Gu Zheng's route, they just need to go to the border and then go north along the border.
On the third day after Gu Zheng came out, they saw the mountain peaks from a distance. After getting a little closer, they set off along the side towards the north.
At this time, Gu Zheng did not let them continue to compete with each other, and even slowed down a lot.
After such a long period of continuous fighting, it can be said that everyone has been injured, and it can even be said that most of them have "died" once, and some people have died more than once. Under this kind of life and death experience, the experience gained cannot be expressed in words.
Of course, all this depends on Gu Zheng, the magical rebirth from the ashes.
Even if Gu Zheng goes out, it is impossible to replicate such a miracle, because only in combination with the power of incense can such a huge effect be exerted. If he is outside, even if the energy of the ring is used up, he can't heal so many people. At most, he can repair the injuries in the other party's body. If he wants to regenerate his limbs, that is something he can't even think about.
Along the way, Gu Zheng deliberately gave them a rest, and everyone continued on their way slowly.
Haiming and Ren Ling each pulled out a dozen of the most powerful people in their teams, and fought there every day, which became one of the few pleasures.
After spending half a month like this, Gu Zheng felt that they had eliminated the fighting spirit in their hearts. When he was about to urge everyone to speed up and practice again, Gu Zheng found that there was a faint cry coming from the mountain beside him.
Gu Zheng immediately stopped the team behind him. Without the chaotic sounds around, the faint cry became more obvious.
The next moment, Gu Zheng saw humans all over the mountains and plains, shouting in fear and crawling towards this side, and behind us, there was a group of monsters with grim faces, who were catching those backward humans one by one, and the random people were below.
This made Gu Zheng's face change, and he didn't know why this happened.
Those humans seemed to be running away. Isn't the rule in the east the same, and can harm humans?
"Lord Zushen, what's going on?" Xia Qi approached and asked. Not only him, but others also looked at Gu Zheng curiously. Is there a new order?
"Take some elites to the mountain over there and prepare to meet them." Gu Zheng pointed to the mountain on the side.
"Lord Zushen, that is the eastern area. We are crossing the border if we do this!" Xia Qi said subconsciously. He thought Gu Zheng wanted to take them to the mountains for zipping.
"I know, bring some people over quickly, I'll wait for you over there." Gu Zheng left a word, and his figure soared into the sky and flew over there.
"Lord Zushen, Lord Zushen!" Xia Qi wanted to persuade him, but unfortunately he had lost Gu Zheng's trace in the blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, Elder Xia, since my master is not afraid, what are you worried about? Just watch here, we will go to help the master." Haiming said to Xia Qi, and then said to Ren Ling next to him.
"Let's go, Junior Sister, let's take the team and see what the master wants to do!"
Here Haiming and Ren Ling led their team and chased after Gu Zheng.
You have to know that there is a distance from here to there. If you don't run, it will probably take a long time to walk.
Xia Qi watched the two teams go around and leave here. After thinking about it, he decided not to follow them. He just asked everyone to stay here. If they need to go there, there must be one person in charge. They can't do without people.
Gu Zheng crossed the mountains in an instant and stayed in the air.
At this time, there were thousands of humans below, desperately running away, and there seemed to be only about a thousand monsters chasing behind them. Behind them, there were more bound humans lying on the ground in despair. Some even twisted and turned to try to escape, but at such a slow speed, even if they climbed for a day, they couldn't climb far.
Gu Zheng's appearance did not attract anyone's attention. The game of wolves catching Mianyang was still being played below.
Although there were some humans with good cultivation in the crowd, the monsters on the other side had no weak hands at all. If they couldn't beat them, a group of people would rush over and beat him up.
Two fists can't beat four hands. Besides, there are very few such powerful humans. Otherwise, they might be able to resist one or two if they gathered together.
Gu Zheng looked around and didn't sense any strong aura. He waved his hand without hesitation. A golden light came out from his palm, forming a golden pillar that instantly fell on the mountain below.
A layer of golden light circle instantly rippled from the contact point, sweeping along the mountain to the bottom at a high speed. In an instant, all the situations within a radius of ten miles were sensed by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng clenched his palm, and those who were stunned by the appearance of the golden light felt a flash before their eyes and found that they had come to other places.
All the humans, whether they were captured or on the run, had gathered below Gu Zheng, and those monsters also appeared not far away on the opposite side.
"It's the ancestor god of mankind." A sharp-eyed person suddenly saw Gu Zheng above his head and shouted in surprise. All of them looked up, and after finding that it was indeed the case, everyone cried with joy.
"Great, we are saved!"
"Woo, poor child, you died so miserably!"
"Come and help me, untie this damn rope."
The group of people below were in a mess, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were trying to break free from their restraints.
Gu Zheng grabbed the air below, and all the ropes on those people fell off their bodies. Then Gu Zheng threw them out, and those ropes flew straight to the monsters in the distance in the air, forming a series of fine nets outside, trapping them inside and preventing them from getting out.
"What's going on? Why are the other party chasing you?" Gu Zheng landed a little and said to the humans below.
In some places, some humans have died, and the smell of blood in the air has not dissipated. It seems that they have just died not long ago.
"Master Zushen, please save us, the other party wants to catch us and eat us." After hearing all kinds of words below, there was chaos. One person shouted loudly first, and then many people followed and shouted randomly, asking Gu Zheng to save them.
"You come out and speak alone. How can I understand a single thing about you when there are so many people?" Gu Zheng suddenly spoke up, suppressing their voices.
Finally, a hunchbacked old woman was nominated.
Although she was a little old, her eyes were shining, and her cultivation level was actually the fifth level.
"This ancestor god, this is what happened." The old woman said briefly, and in a few words, she let Gu Zheng understand what happened.
It turned out that they were all in a village not far from here, which was also a village of demons, and they were human beings captured by them, and they had been there for more than fifteen years. They saw that they would be redistributed in a few years, but something unexpected happened.
The number of their captives was not large, and the demons did not want others because they could not afford to support them, so there were only a few thousand people, and the villagers who had encountered the encounter fell to other places.
They were all in the same village, so they were naturally very familiar with each other. As a result, a month ago, one of them suddenly disappeared.
No matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find him, because sometimes they had to go underground to dig for something special, so they thought he didn't come back, or simply said that the cave collapsed accidentally and he was buried underground. There were such things before.
But only three days later, someone disappeared again, and five people in a row, which made everyone feel something was wrong. You know, even in the previous ten years, at most one person disappeared every year, and there were bodies to be found.
But this time he disappeared completely and thoroughly in the world. Almost everyone knew about it. They were afraid that there was something wrong with their workplace and refused to go out.
But what made them a little panic was that even if they lived honestly in their own place, someone would disappear almost every few days, as if something was staring at them, but no matter what they did, they couldn't prevent it, and someone still disappeared without knowing it.
At that time, they didn't think of monsters at all, because here, if a monster dared to eat any human or its kind, even a dead body, it would be discovered almost at the same time as being eaten. No one here could hide from the world here, and no one wanted to test the law.
At first they didn't know either and thought it was some ghost or underground creature that was bewitched by demons. As a result, by chance, someone discovered that the person who kidnapped them was actually the ancestor god of this tribe.
What made them even more desperate was that the ancestor god had somehow managed to block the world from spying on them. Even if he ate humans, it would not attract attention here.
After learning the news, they gathered together to discuss and decided to take the opportunity to escape together when they went out to work. After all, no one would believe them.
So a day ago, they all fled here. Those monsters generally would not cross the border. As long as they ran to the southern area, they would be safe.
But they had only been running for a day when the other ancestor god discovered the problem and directly sent his direct guards to capture them. The result was what Gu Zheng saw.
"The ancestor god who dares to eat people is really desperate!"
