Chapter 1: The Phantom Clan
Hu Menglin watched as the boulder flying towards him smashed a deep pit in front of him, and his face was not different.
However, seeing that the big man lifted his weight like light, Hu Menglin was secretly surprised.
After many adventures, he was barely able to lift this boulder.
It seems that no matter what era it is, a person's background is really important!
After being introduced, Hu Menglin knew that the white bearskin man and his group of five people had come from the Wild Sand Tribal Alliance in the north and passed through here.
They were going to Luoshui Temple to report on the reception of supplies and resistance to the invasion of the Phantom Demon Clan in Northern Xinjiang in the past few years, and also to explain the recent movements of the Phantom Demon Clan.
The Phantom Demon Clan is a general term that includes four categories:
One is the spirit body evolved from the dying demon high lich who fled to the north after the defeat eight thousand years ago, called the spirit demon race, which is not many and is in an absolute dominant position;
The second is the descendants of the underworld. A small number of underworld males have been following the Lich King because of their love for the Lich King's beauty, and after the defeat, they ran to the north, where they bred with local orcs, demon lichs, demon pupil warriors, etc., and gradually became real demons;
the third is the local orcs who have taken refuge in the phantom demon clan, known as demonized orcs;
The fourth is the orcs and other races who have been possessed by the Phantom Demon Race, these people who have been occupied by the Phantom Demon Spirit Body, after the Phantom Demon leaves, will rely on the Phantom Demon Clan who once possessed the Phantom Demon Clan, generally known as the Demon Orc.
There are almost a thousand individuals in the psychic demon race, and only the three spirit fragments that the seriously injured young Lich King Polisva has evolved into after his death can exist as a spirit body independently.
And the other high-level lich evolved into the spirit demon race all need to parasitize in the orcs or monsters, and they have to change hosts every few years.
The parasitic host, whether orcs or monsters, is very afraid to see what they are, and if something like a mirror shines, the spirit will quickly separate from the host.
The real illusion demon clan can transform into different orcs and demonic beasts, but the body is cold and has no temperature. He doesn't like the heat and is generally reluctant to go out during the day.
It can be said that the evolution of any kind of creature has pros and cons, the demon lich gave up his body, and the underworld evolved into an orc, and they all paid the corresponding price.
Their weakness is something that the orcs of Northern Xinjiang have learned at the cost of blood and tears for thousands of years:
Northern Xinjiang used to have four large orc alliances, extending all the way to the Arctic Ocean, and across it from a section of the "Tsushima Strait" are the four islands of Sunset, the natural living environment of the four islands is extremely harsh, earthquakes and volcanoes are continuous, and occasionally tsunamis erupt.
Eight thousand years ago, when the war between demons and the underworld invaded the savage plane, there were only a few thousand orcs on the four islands of Sunset, and after the war, the dying demon lich king Polisva fled here.
She began to pretend to be a ghost, gradually deceiving the local orcs, who regarded them as gods, and when the lich such as Polisva died and split into spirits, she gradually merged with the local orc tribe to form the Phantom Clan.
For these unsuccessful guys, the dragons and phoenixes didn't take it seriously at all, and just asked the orc alliance in the north to destroy them.
Hidden dangers are often not taken seriously in the embryonic stage, and the result is a catastrophe.
These phantom demons were very well hidden, and it was not until three thousand years ago that the guardian beasts of the five clans invaded the demon realm in a big way, and they came out and gradually ate away at three of the four alliances in the north.
Now, only the Wild Sand Alliance is still struggling to support, and some of the orcs of the other three alliances have become accomplices, some are surviving, and a considerable part of them rely on the Thunder Snow Mountain and the forests on the edge to fight unyieldingly.
And with the encroachment of the orc tribe, the northernmost part of the original land of the three alliances has become the new sunset territory of the phantom demon race, and the other two alliance lands have become a chaotic domain controlled by the phantom demon race.
The ten orc alliances represented by the Luoshui Alliance are unprecedentedly united in dealing with foreign invasions, transporting a large number of materials to support the Wild Sand Alliance every year, and will also send a large number of orc warriors into the chaotic domain of northern Xinjiang to fight.
Especially in the last hundred years, large-scale wars have broken out between the two sides every few years.
"Bai Kuanbing, how many of your Ice Bear Clan are left now?" The Qinglin Patriarch seemed to be very familiar with this big man.
Dahan looked a little depressed: "A thousand years ago, it was more than 50,000, a hundred years ago it was more than 20,000, and now it is estimated that there are more than 5,000 people!"
These phantom demon clans are so hateful, adults don't dare to attack, so they sneak attack our children, in the past ten years, there are almost more than 300 children possessed by them, and more than 100 have run over, and the rest are frozen by us!
It's really heart-wrenching to see them not dead or alive! The frozen number of other races is almost half of the population!"
Speaking of which, the big man almost cried, he had a younger brother who was frozen! The Ice Bear Clan is not a strong reproductive race, and if this continues, it is estimated that in another hundred years, the race will definitely be wiped out!
"Could it be that their souls have been controlled, or have they been sucked away?" Hu Menglin and Xiao Dick and others were obviously unaware. I've heard people say it, but it's impossible to be so detailed, let alone so sincere.
Bai Kuanbing gradually calmed down:
"This is really not good to say! There was once an attempt by the Lord Priest to save a warrior of the Scaly Shrimp Clan, trying to dispel it with Divine Awakening and Sacred Exorcism Battle Song, but it backfired, and instead it was absorbed by those negative spiritual powers, and it almost exploded and injured the Lord Priest!"
Hu Menglin was silent, in this era of chaotic elements, the power of science sometimes can't explain many problems, is it the possession of ghosts like the earth?
However, this psychic demon clan is not a ghost, and it has already left, will it still leave an unbreakable spiritual power?
Suddenly, the staff spirit spoke in Hu Menglin's mind, "I guess it's soul control, to put it bluntly, it's a curse in the spiritual power, or a spiritual array!"
After all, the illusion demon was transformed by the spiritual power of the lich after his death, and he was born to be a good hand at controlling mental power, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not inherit any mental control formations!
After asking a lot of questions, Hu Menglin became more and more sure that this so-called being possessed could not control his own situation, which was obviously "cursed", and it was explained by scientific methods that it was the old cane spirit's statement.
Hu Menglin expressed his concern and opinions through the Qinglin Patriarch, and said that if possible, he hoped to send over an orc who was "under the curse" and try to cure it!
Seeing everyone's admiration for Hu Menglin, Bai Kuanbing agreed, no matter how much hope there is, who wants to give up!
