532: Life and death opposite
Necromancy is not intelligent and acts entirely on instinct. Since they can't sense the vitality of their prey, they don't think about why, and they don't know how to find out where their prey is in another way.
Therefore, this black torrent of death only swirled around the head of the Fourteenth Prince, and then he had already left without hesitation and continued to rush due north.
Xiao Sheng stood on the ground, looking up. I saw that the black torrent composed of countless dead spirits was rushing and surging above my head, like a mighty river that had no beginning and no end, and was above the nine heavens. The momentum is amazing, unseen and unheard of. No matter how daring he is, at this moment, he can't help but be secretly frightened.
Shaking his head, Xiao Sheng retracted his gaze, calmed down, no longer looked at these dead spirits, and looked around instead. I saw that where I was, it was a plain grassland. As far as the eye can see, there are dozens of tents about a few hundred steps away. Looks like it should be a mammoth tribe.
The terrain and climate north of the Great Wall are not suitable for farming. Therefore, the ancient barbarians usually lived as nomads. In order to graze cattle, sheep and horses, they must constantly chase abundant water and grass, move from place to place, and have no fixed residence.
Therefore, there are no rural towns in the vast northern wilderness, only countless large and small nomadic tribes. When these tribes are gathered, they are the ancient kingdom of Menggu.
But at this moment, there is no longer a living mouth in this small tribe of fierce ancient people. Men and women, old and young, cattle, sheep and horses, have all been eaten alive by the dead spirits who broke out of the ground, and only piles of white bones remain.
This is the Northern Wilderness, the land of the ancient kingdom of Menggu. No matter how many fierce ancient barbarians were killed, Xiao Sheng, as the prince of Dahao, would certainly not frown. However, those necromancers who break through the ground don't care whether you are a fierce ancient barbarian or a citizen of Dahao. As long as they belong to living beings, they will swoop in, vowing to devour them as quickly as possible.
For now, the group of necromancers is just heading north. The Great Wall of Rock is to the south. In the short term, they should not pose a threat to the people of Dahao. However, the land of the Menggu Kingdom is originally vast and sparsely populated. If these necromancers let go of their bellies and devour them to their heart's content, it is believed that it will not be long before they can eat up the entire population of this country.
After eating the people of the Menggu Kingdom, what will happen to this group of necromancers? If they continue to the north, then it will be the Golden Horde that will suffer. However, although the population of the Golden Horde is larger than that of Menggu, there will always be a time when it will be eaten. When the time comes, this group of necromancers will definitely turn south and rush to the land of Dahao to eat people.
In other words, no matter whether this group of necromancers is going north or south at the moment, as long as they still exist for a day, Dahao will not be able to be alone, and sooner or later he will have to confront this group of necromancers. Regardless of being the prince of Dahao, or standing in the position of living beings, Xiao Sheng can only fight with this group of dead spirits - swear not to stand on each other and never die!
If you make up your mind, you will no longer hesitate. Xiao Sheng discerned the direction, took a big stride, and walked due north. In order to avoid alarming those necromancers and causing them to pounce on them and besiege them again, Xiao Sheng did not use any special powers, and only relied purely on his body to hurry. Although the speed is also extremely fast, after all, it can't be compared to when I rode the Wind Strike Eagle before.
This full run has covered about three or five hundred miles. Along the way, they met six or seven tribes of fierce ancient barbarians. Without exception, all of them have been eaten alive by hundreds of millions of dead souls, gnawed into white bones.
Xiao Sheng didn't care, he just hurried by himself. Soon after, he climbed a small hill and was about to leap down and continue on his way. But suddenly, overhead, in the sky, the long black river composed of countless dead spirits broke out again.
In the midst of the shrill croaking of monsters, a large group of necromancers broke away from the long river and slammed into a place not far to the northwest. As far as the eye can see, there are also more than a dozen tents standing on the grassland. Outside the tent there were cows and horses, as well as seven or eight old herdsmen with gray hairs, with a few half-grown children of about twelve or thirteen years old.
Everyone, young and old, armed with bows and arrows and sabers, stood beside their cattle and shouted loudly and excitedly. It seems that this group of people is not a tribe, at most they are just a few fierce ancient barbarians who are good friends with each other, and they come out together to find water and grass and raise livestock.
After walking for so long, Xiao Sheng found a living person for the first time. I don't know why they have been able to survive to this day. But that's the end of it. Because the necromancers have discovered them and are swarming to kill them.
Even if the martial arts of the ancient barbarians are prosperous, they are even better than Dahao. An ordinary herdsman often has the cultivation of a martial artist or even a samurai. But under the siege of countless undead spirits, it will not be spared in the end. Death is their only end.
Sure enough. Seeing the army of necromancers rushing down like an overwhelming force, those fierce ancient barbarians immediately bent their bows and arrows and attacked first. It's just a pity that this is completely futile. Just imagine, even Xiao Sheng's rocket artillery and cloud burst bombs can't completely annihilate these dead spirits, what use can they be with just bows and arrows?
The necromancer ignored the arrows, and just screamed and swooped down. The herdsmen saw that they had shot all the arrows, and even if they tried to resist stubbornly, they could not do anything. In an instant, all the herdsmen's eyebrows revealed a look of despair and fear mixed at the same time.
Xiao Sheng stood on top of the hill, watching coldly, with no intention of coming to the rescue. What are you kidding? These fierce ancient barbarians are born with a vicious anger in their chests, and they are all born robbers.
For many years, the Menggu Kingdom has continuously sent troops to invade the Dahao frontier, kidnapping the people of Dahao as slaves, plundering wealth, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil. These old herdsmen must have been involved in it, and their hands are stained with blood debts. Those who are younger will surely continue to participate in all kinds of atrocities in the future, just like their fathers. So, why did Xiao Sheng save them, and why did he save them?
But although Xiao Sheng made up his mind, he stood by and watched. But there are other high-ranking people who don't want to watch from the wall. In an instant, suddenly inside one of the tents, a white rainbow soared. Immediately after, this white rainbow spread out in all directions at the same time, condensing into the shape of a dome, protecting the entire camp and all the ancient barbarians.
In the white rainbow, there are countless "swastika" Buddha seals. When the Buddha seal continues to flicker, it builds an impregnable copper wall. Once those necromancers collided, they immediately exploded into a cloud of black smoke, and then completely disappeared, never to be reunited.
The nature of this white rainbow is not the same as Xiao Sheng's immortal path ripple energy. But now that it looks like this, its ability to subdue demons and ward off evil spirits seems to be still above the ripples of the fairy road.
The sky is full of dead spirits, and there is no wisdom at all. Although once it touches the white rainbow shield, it will immediately be wiped out. But they kept bumping into each other. It's like a moth to a fire, knowing what the end will be, but still sending it to death without hesitation.
Under the endless impact of the torrent of necromancy, I saw that the white rainbow dome was like a lonely boat in the angry sea, constantly trembling between the stormy waves, looking extremely fragile, as if it could collapse and shatter at any time, and the boat would be destroyed and killed.
At this moment, I saw the curtain of the tent move, and a figure walked out. But it is a young monk with Buddhist beads around his neck, wearing a hundred robes and stepping on mango shoes. With a calm bearing, he clasped his palms together and walked slowly to the grass outside the tent. He muttered and chanted. In an instant, the Hongliang Sanskrit sang resounding throughout the four fields, heard from far and near.
"Hum, Munimuya, Mahamuniya, Suha. ”
One after another, one sentence after another. Although the listeners around him did not understand what it meant. But the compassion in the hymn can be felt clearly by everyone. In the midst of the song, the white rainbow barrier became stronger and stronger. No matter how wildly the torrent of necromancy rushes, the barrier is like a mainstay, and I stand still.
However, no matter how strong this young monk's mana was, there was only one person after all. Do your best, go all out, and you can really support it for a period of time. But in the end, all of your power will be exhausted and you will become food for these necromancy.
The whole country of Menggu will only believe in the wolf god. For the three religions such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, they are extremely rejected and resisted. Therefore, among the ancient barbarians, there will be neither Confucianism, nor Taoism, nor monks. A young monk suddenly appeared here, and it was completely certain that he was definitely not a fierce ancient barbarian. That being the case, then...... Should I help? For a while, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and he couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, I saw the young monk raise his head and glance at the place where the Fourteenth Prince was. Immediately, there was a warm and gentle voice, thousands of steps away, clearly into the ears of the Fourteenth Prince.
"Good, good, good. This benefactor, the ghost is fierce, predators and eats, and all those who have life are all targets. Please walk away as quickly as possible, and do not approach. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll suffer from the fish in the pond. ”
Xiao Sheng was stunned, but then he had already made up his mind. The monk was merciful and kindly reminded him. But is it really such a person who only cares about his own life, greedy for life and afraid of death? Those fierce ancient barbarians ignore it for the time being, but no matter what, they can't watch the monks buried in the belly of the dead.
With his mind decided, Xiao Sheng didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately unfolded his body and rushed in the direction where the monk was. When the young monk saw him like this, he couldn't help but sigh. Because the impact of the necromantic torrent is getting stronger and stronger, he must recite the mantra to bless the shield with all his strength, and for a while, he can't be distracted anymore.
A moment later, Xiao Sheng rushed to the vicinity of the tent camp. When those fierce ancient barbarians saw him coming, they all showed nervous vigilance. There are even a few half-sized children, seeing that Xiao Sheng is dressed up, they all look like Dahao people, and there is even more strong hostility between their eyebrows. They all raised their sabers and shouted and cursed.
These little barbarians are different from the Blue Wolf King, the Red Wolf King, the Menggu Lord, the Ten Great Military Protectors and others, they don't understand the Dahao language, and what they speak in their mouths is the Menggu Barbarian. Where did Xiao Sheng understand what it meant?
