Chapter 146: Beast Tide
As her words fell, the noise in the square actually gradually subsided.
Qin Zhao was a little surprised when he saw this.
He found that these people didn't seem to have that much hatred for the shrine maiden Mingshu who presided over the ceremony, and even respected them very much.
In this situation, she can stop the riot with a word.
I can't help but think of the first time the two met, and when they went out of the city to chat, they saw the attitude of ordinary people towards her, and my heart was a little abrupt.
It seems that this so-called witch is indeed very good to the people at the bottom.
"Zhao Gongzi, can you tell us more about the current situation?"
Ming Shu looked at Qin Zhao and asked softly.
Before, Qin Zhao only said about the disappearance of the rat god and the price of the sacrificial ceremony, but did not say more details, and now Ming Shu also knows a little about these secrets.
She needs to know more of the truth, and her people need to know more of the truth.
"Let your high priest speak for himself." Qin Zhao glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the high priest who had been silent just now.
"Your Majesty......" Ming Shu followed his fingers and turned his head to look.
When the high priest saw this, she did not refuse, and in fact she did not have the right to refuse.
Slowly spoke, telling all the inside story.
Including her own plans, the fact that the Rat God no longer exists on this continent, the reason why the beast tide attacked the human race, the luck she stole, and the truth of multiple reincarnations, etc.
These have already been seen through by Qin Zhao, and there is no point in her continuing to hide them, that will only make her more embarrassed.
After hearing this, not only the ordinary people who participated in the ceremony below, but even the high-level members of the temple, the shrine maiden Mingshu and others were shocked.
Yan Qingjun couldn't help but send a message to Qin Zhao: "Your Majesty, why didn't you kill her directly just now. β
Qin Zhao said lightly: "After all, we are not from this world, besides, that high priest has already lived for a short time. β
If he hadn't seen the state of the high priest, he might not have let the other party go so happily. But in the end, there was no big conflict between the two sides, and he was equivalent to an invader, and he also got a huge benefit.
Just let the other person handle it internally.
And, in this way, he can also take the opportunity to plan another thing.
Just as his mind was drifting, Ming Shu spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our world was originally a barren land with no life. Judging from the words left by the ancestors, it was the rat god who opened up the mixed team of yin and yang and created the world.
"Even if the Rat God is no longer here, can we deny His merits? Is it just because of this that we need to completely dismiss the beliefs of the past? β
When Qin Zhao heard this, he glanced at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Her remarks are a bit interesting, because she is too one-sided.
I don't look down on Shinto, but I shouldn't be dismissive of other people's pursuits. There is a myth and legend of "the rat god opening the sky" in this world, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as an "ancestor" for the human race.
Seeing that Qin Zhao didn't interrupt with any words, Ming Shu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She couldn't see through Qin Zhao's depth at all, and she didn't know much about the other party's origin, but that sense of mystery and oppression made her a little unsettled.
Besides, the other party obviously didn't have the slightest reverence for the gods, and he didn't know if his words would anger him.
"Of course the high priest is at fault, including me, and I am also a sinner. We can't ask for forgiveness, but can we give us a chance to make amends? β
"From now on, the gods are gone, and we can only rely on our own strength to resist all trials. At this time, every strength is precious. The countless experiences of the high priest in the past will surely lead us to a better direction. β
She then quoted scriptures about the past experiences of the human race, as well as the feats performed by the human world under the leadership of the high priest in the past.
"This ......" Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but hesitate a little.
The moment at the top has passed, and now reason has regained the upper hand.
What Ming Shu said is not unreasonable, since the gods are no longer in the world, how to continue in the future really depends on human beings themselves.
Confusion, restlessness, and confusion fill the heart. Especially after the loss of faith, it feels like a large piece of heart is empty.
I used to be guided by the temple, but if it was subverted, what would happen in the future?
"Mikoma-sama, how are we going to deal with the beast tide in a few days?"
At this time, a priest suddenly asked, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Qin Zhao.
"Childe, please." Ming Shu did not hesitate, looked directly at Qin Zhao and bowed deeply.
He smiled slightly when he heard this, this was his purpose.
Although the power of faith in the temple has now been absorbed and transformed by him, the northern beast race is not an animal that is only urged by instinct, but has wisdom in the body.
Now that he was ready to attack, it was impossible to give up this battle because he couldn't sense the power of those faiths.
And probably even crazier.
There was at least one thought in the past, and now that this power is completely gone, they will definitely find out.
"Don't worry, we'll naturally take action then, but after this time, it's up to you to solve the problem yourself."
Qin Zhao said lightly, "In addition, in the next few days, the temple will be taken over by the Holy Maiden, so you don't have to interfere too much." β
At this time, the people in the temple also saw that the saint had an unusual relationship with him, and even seemed to have been replaced.
But now it is clear that nothing more can be said.
After the disappearance of the gods, whether the temple can continue to exist in the future is a matter of two theories, and the most important thing is to resist the tide of beasts at the moment.
And hope, I'm afraid, still has to be pinned on this mysterious man who doesn't know the depths.
......
Three days later, the sound of beasts roaring and birdsong began to sound in the north.
Everyone's expressions perked up, a little frightened and a little excited.
After waiting for so long, it's finally here.
Qin Zhao and Yan Qingjun glanced at each other, then stood up and walked outside the temple.
In the past few days, Qin Zhao and the others had completely taken control of the temple.
Including all kinds of materials, they are all taken at will.
To be honest, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he originally thought that he would retreat because of his luck, but he didn't expect the high priest to die and give him the opportunity to be a general.
Outside the temple, the 10,000 Feather Forest Army had already been assembled and waited in formation.
"Get out of the city with me!" Looking at the army in front of him, as well as Yan Qingjun and Zi and the others, Qin Zhao shouted.
Then he turned around and walked in the direction of the city wall, "Let's see what the so-called 'intelligent beasts' of this world can do." β
Outside the city gate, Qin Zhao looked far away and saw a piece of dust flying, during which all kinds of birds and beasts were in an endless stream.
At a cursory glance, there are at least tens of thousands. And in the endless forest behind, countless beasts continue to emerge.
Although the array was extremely rough and undisciplined, there was no stampede. With such a large number of beasts, this is already very difficult.
It is worthy of being a creature with wisdom.
Moreover, the aura of these beasts is also not weak, and it is not uncommon for a few to have cultivated in their bodies and reach the innate realm.
With a move in his heart, Qin Zhao mobilized his military qi and set up the [Xuanwu Army Array].
[Xuanwu Army Formation - Military Qi Condensation, Xuanwu True Meaning, Xuanwu True Form, has a greater bonus to the strength of the mortal army.] Increases Attack by 500%, Defense by 1000%, and movement speed by 20%. Luck required for exchange: 7000]
The various battle formations in the Qi Luck Collection before, he had already exchanged them and put them in the Library Pavilion.
These prices are not too expensive for him today, and they can also facilitate the generals who have made meritorious contributions to learn and understand, but there are very few who can really learn.
At least until now, only Yan Qingming has mastered the White Tiger Killing Array, and Yan Qingjun has mastered the Zhurong Military God.
Now is the time to defend the city, and it is obvious that the Xuanwu military formation is the most suitable.
As the military array moved, I saw a huge Xuanwu Phantom suddenly appear in the skyβXuanwu True Form!
It looks like a ridiculously large turtle, but it is obviously different from ordinary turtles.
Its tortoiseshell is pitch black, and it seems that there are endless waves of water spreading around, like a mirror illuminating all directions.
The turtle's head is as fierce as an evil dragon, covered with layers of scale armor, and its gaze is as calm as an abyss.
And at the tail, there is also a giant python, hovering around the back, the head of the snake is high, and the eyes are scarlet and full of murderous intent.
"That's ......" And the natives of the Fengyang Continent who were watching the battle in the rear at this moment were already so shocked that they almost lost their voices.
Now they also knew that Qin Zhao and the others had extraordinary backgrounds, and they were not from this realm, but they didn't expect to be able to master this kind of secret method, which was like the might of a god.
"Miko-sama, if we have this kind of power...... "One of the priests muttered to himself.
When Ming Shu heard this, he was a little apprehensive, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, what kind of chips can he use to impress the other party in exchange for this kind of power.
With this kind of power, where is the need for the protection of the gods?
At this time, Qin Zhao didn't care about the thoughts of the people behind him, he was the Xuanwu True Form itself at this time.
Directly open the huge mouth, and let out a huge roar at the herd of beasts in front of him.
For a while, the formation of the beasts was obviously chaotic, and the queue, which was originally quite orderly, had countless stampedes in an instant.
The power of Xuanwu is by no means something that these beasts can resist.
If the other party is a human being, maybe there is still a chance to rely on the strength of the crowd to resist the attack.
But the beasts were already very different from each other, and they were also extremely sensitive to breath, and some of them were even frightened in an instant.
However, fortunately, although the tens of thousands of beasts in front of them were a little riotous, they had wisdom in their bodies after all, and they could suppress their instincts to a certain extent.
Otherwise, once the other party retreated, Qin Zhao could only change his position and rely on the White Tiger Killing Formation to fight the enemy.
He hadn't even thought about letting these beasts go.
It didn't take long for the herd to adjust its position again.
However, he became obviously much more cautious, and began to tentatively mobilize some of the beasts to attack.
It's a pity that those attacks can't break through the defense at all, but they are the true form of Xuanwu, and with a casual wave of their claws and a flick of their heads, they can wipe out a piece of enemies.
It didn't take long for the convenience to be miserable at any time, and it seemed that there was a retreat.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao's eyes flashed slightly, and he began to reduce the intensity of the military qi gathering, making a weak follow-up.
In fact, the strongest point of the [Xuanwu Army Array] lies in its defense and endurance.
Unlike the White Tiger Killing Array, which consumes physical strength and greatly increases attack power and movement speed, the Xuanwu Army Formation can last for an extremely long time.
Although he knew it in his own heart, the beasts in the distance and the crowd behind him had different expressions.
Although the herd has intelligence, it is obviously too far from being intelligent.
Seeing that the Xuanwu True Form aura had declined, he organized an offensive again and launched a fierce attack.
And Ming Shu and the others, who were watching the battle in the back, were slightly worried.
Although he felt that Qin Zhao could not be defeated, he still couldn't help but be terrified when he saw the boundless herd of beasts.
For a while, it was impossible to tell whether he was showing weakness to the enemy.
"Mikoma-sama, why don't we retreat to the city first." There was a priest on the side who asked for instructions, and he was a little scared.
Ming Shu glared at the past with stern eyes, "If Zhao Gongzi loses, do you think we still have a way to live?!" Now that others are helping us defend ourselves against foreign enemies, they still want to escape? If you want to go, you can go, and I'll stay here today. β
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, so they didn't say any more.
He just looked into the battlefield with some concern.
Qin Zhao was now in a clear mind, and he even had the strength to sense the remaining number on the other side.
As the slaughter progressed, the side of the army was already covered with a thick layer of bloody mud, and the real corpses were all over the field.
Under the stimulation of this bloody qi, those beasts gradually became crazy, and the instincts of the beasts took over the upper hand of their minds, and they began to sacrifice their lives to pounce.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhao was not only not worried, but secretly happy in his heart.
The biggest problem with the Xuanwu Army Formation is that the transfer is slow, and there is nothing the other party can do if he wants to run.
Now that the fierce battle has been fought for a long time, the body of the subordinates of the White Tiger Killing Formation may not be able to support it.
After all, this is not the original body of those Yulin Army, and there is no divine blessing like the Reverse Gu, and it is now close to the limit.
However, if the other party takes the initiative to attack, it is simply a death.
Finally, from the morning of the battle until dark, there was no moonlight on the land, and only the few remaining beasts had a little glint in their eyes.
watched Qin Zhao and the others from afar, but no longer attacked forward.
They were finally terrified.
But now, there are only a few thousand of the tens of thousands of beasts left.
To be sure, at least for the next decade or two, these beasts will not want to organize such a large-scale attack.
And by then, the human beings on this land should already have their own methods to resist all kinds of disasters.
[Kill 62,531 Wisdom Beasts, Luck Increase by 10,900!] ]
[Current Luck: 140856]
After seeing the hint of the Luck Gold List, Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, this was his fundamental purpose.
The Gold List of Qi Luck can accumulate its own Qi Luck through operation, promotion, killing enemies, and subduing Atmospheric Luckers.
Although these beasts are not atmospheric carriers, they are not ordinary beasts after all, but they are intelligent, and their ancestors have been enlightened by the rat god.
After accumulating a lot, it also contributed a large amount of income to him.
