Chapter 63: Ancient Legends (3)
In front of the tens of thousands of people in the audience, and under the attention of hundreds of high-level leaders of the Giant Tree God Sect, the Qi line was silent for a moment, and then it was pulled by the people who were thousands of miles away from the tree.
Three times.
It was pulled three times.
Two strokes and three strokes, although there is only one difference, they represent diametrically opposed meanings.
Could it be ...... All the expeditionary forces on the tree, after all, will not escape the end of the whole army?
This huge turning point made many people faint directly in the sea of people waiting under the tree.
Even Yao was among them, with a solemn expression.
That's when something even stranger happened.
After being pulled three times, after half an hour, it was pulled again.
Everywhere.
What does it mean to go down to four? When I first went up the tree, the code agreed on three times was already the limit, but the meaning of four times was never agreed.
Could it be that there was some accident in the expeditionary force above that caused the matchmaker's hand to slip?
Whispers whispered among the dead crowd, and a mixed stream of discussions shrouded this ominous day.
After another moment, the thread twitched and pulled a fifth time like a dying snake.
There was another commotion in the crowd.
The faces of the higher-ups of the Giant Tree God Cult were unsightly. If you can barely explain it as a slippery hand by pulling four times, then pulling five times can't explain it anyway.
However, before they could react, the Qi line was pulled again, the sixth, seventh, and eighth. This line connecting heaven and earth seemed to be crazy, and it couldn't help twitching, not only three or four times in an instant, but it had already beaten hundreds of times!
The speed of the pull is obviously not a human being on it!
The crowd was in a commotion, and many people subconsciously retreated, wanting to stay away from the Qi line, which had completely lost control.
At this time, the Qi line suddenly stopped jumping again, and returned to dead silence.
The crowd of good deeds gathered around. But before the shocked people could react, the silver thread suddenly turned into color.
It turned blood-red all over.
Like blood, thick red.
Qi Thread jumped wildly again, only this time, as if it had come to life, and the leap was far beyond its supposed scale. The thread must have gone mad and crazy, and the wooden pillar that had been used to hold it in place rattled as if it were about to break free and take off.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the Qi line exploded, exploding a large patch of bright red pus. The nearby believers couldn't dodge, and as long as they were touched a little, they immediately lay on the ground and rolled on the ground in pain. Those who were splashed all over their bodies were dissolved on the spot, leaving only a white skeleton.
What's even more frightening is that those believers who only have skeletons left are still rolling back and forth on the ground because of pain, and the jaws of the white bones can't help opening and closing up and down, as if they are letting out a silent roar.
"Kill them, kill them!"
Until the Giant Tree God Sect sent a mystic master to smash these white skeletons that could not be freed after death, their remaining broken hand bones and arms were still trembling slightly on the ground.
It's as if I'm going to hell and still endure the pain of ten thousand punishments.
On that day, hundreds of believers were affected by the blood line.
There is no doubt that this expedition ended with the complete annihilation of the expeditionary force.
This result caused an uproar on one side. There are even people within the Giant Tree God Cult who preach that this is a warning from the heavens to mortals. The gods who dwell in the depths of the sky do not welcome mortals to set foot in their realm.
It is the world of God, the kingdom of the gods.
But to everyone's surprise, after this expedition, the Giant Tree Cult also fell into a brief turmoil. But under the pressure of the radicals led by Yao, those voices of opposition were quickly put to an end. Moreover, the new expeditionary force has been basically formed after half a year and is waiting to be launched.
After further realizing the cruelty above the giant tree, the lineup of this expeditionary force is incomparably luxurious.
Even the princes and kings on the side of the Ripping Earth Seal King have sent people to assist the Giant Tree God Cult in this new expedition.
A total of 30,000 people climbed the tree this time. It was divided into three batches of front, middle and rear armies, and successively went up the tree.
The vanguard force numbered about 3,000 men, consisting mainly of heavily armed soldiers, mystics, and a small number of scouts. The mission is to find out the direction of most of the people below and investigate the danger. The two sides used a special wolf smoke to transmit information, and on a cloudless sunny day, the visibility of the wolf smoke exceeded 3,000 meters.
Two days after the front army went up the tree, it set out for the Chinese army of 10,000 men. In the Chinese army, there are mystics, martial arts masters, archers and experienced hunters, doctors, mathematicians, astrologers and strategists. These characters are selected from all walks of life, and there is no shortage of generalists, no matter what they encounter on the giant tree, they can deal with it.
The rear army, which had the largest number of troops, numbering 17,000 men, was sent out five days after the front army was issued. They also had a small number of soldiers and mysticists, but most of them were laborers carrying large quantities of dry rations.
That's right, the only task of the rear army is to ensure the reserves of the whole army. While climbing trees, they also built hanging baskets everywhere. The hanging baskets on the tree fall down every morning, and the believers put the food in, and the laborers of the rear army pull the hanging baskets back to the sky to replenish the supply.
Later, they learned that everyone had been deceived by Yao. The role of these laborers is not as simple as carrying military rations.
Of course, that was much later.
Under such an exaggerated configuration, this army of 30,000 people can guarantee their operation for at least eighty days after they ascend to the sky.
And more importantly, Yao, the soul figure of the Giant Tree God Cult, personally participated in this expedition at the age of seventy.
He will sit in the rear and personally command this army of 30,000 men!
All recovered their confidence from the defeat of the first expedition. They believed that with such a luxurious lineup, this expedition would be successful, and it would be used to warn the spirits of the two thousand warriors who lost the first expedition.
(Speaking of this, Lu Lie interjected: "I used to wander in Jiangbei, and I heard similar stories told by local storytellers.) I didn't listen carefully at the time, but now that I think about it, the final outcome of this expeditionary force seems to have disappeared into the sky. ”
Santou shook his head: "It's not accurate to say that it disappeared." You can't guess what they're going to do, so let me go on. ”)
Under such circumstances, Mitou's mother, as an excellent mystic master among the younger generation, was selected to join the Chinese army of the expeditionary force and climbed the tree with the large army.
Of course, she didn't know at the time that she was already pregnant with three heads.
For the first 10 days of the tree, things went unexpectedly well. Along the way, the army is invincible. Several birds of prey with no eyes circled back and forth in the air, trying to attack the soldiers, but they were quickly shot by the archers, but other than that, there were no accidents.
