Chapter Twenty-Three: Memories of the Ancients
The sky is so blue, with white clouds, and the contrast between them is extremely beautiful.
Chi Tang can still smell a smell mixed with the fragrance of earth and grass in his nose, he seems to be standing on the branch of a cypress tree, his body shakes gently with the shaking of the branch, and the light shaking up and down makes Chi Tang feel extremely leisurely, I can't help but be a little strange, why didn't I feel this way when I used to perform light skills and jump on the high branch?
There seemed to be someone hiding in the grass under the cypress tree, and everyone knew about it in the grass, but Chi Tang didn't worry at all, he felt that he knew very well that in the grass under the tree was his extremely reliable comrade-in-arms.
Chi Tang looked ahead, this is a huge village, but the houses in these villages are made of thatch and mud, not like the ordinary village people.
The village is surrounded by a rudimentary wooden fence, and outside the wooden fence, a shallow canal is dug like a moat in front of the city gate.
Smoke could be seen rising from the village, but in the center of the village, there was a high platform, and a strange song came from the high platform.
It was sung by a deep voice, the lyrics were not inaudible at all, and the syllables were long and twisting, and sometimes, even like a mantra. Chi Tang seemed to feel that this song was very familiar, this was the prayer sung by the priests of the village when they sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth. And this high platform where the singing voice comes out is the altar temple that worships the gods of heaven.
The villagers of the village could already be seen walking towards the altar, the men were shirtless, revealing their bronzed skin, or wearing shellfish accessories, or wearing the fur of wild beasts, most of them were disheveled, and only a few who looked like heads had their hair pulled up indiscriminately and inserted with a stone hairpin, which still looked unkempt. The women, on the other hand, were covered only with coarse linen or vegetative clothing on their lower bodies and chests, and followed the men barefoot with clay pots and vessels on their heads.
Chi Tang himself was thinking that these villagers were quite like wild people in the barbarian land.
Looking far away, the altar was already densely packed with kneeling people, and on the altar a priest wearing a mask was holding a jade scepter and dancing strangely.
Chi Tang seemed to know what they were doing, and he knew very well what he was perched on top of this high branch, so he just looked at the scene in front of him very calmly.
It seemed like a long, long time later, the smoke in the village had cleared, the singing on the altar had stopped, and the priest had turned his head to heaven and led the thousands of villagers under the altar to worship.
Suddenly, Chi Tang keenly felt a hint of a fishy smell, he straightened up and looked in the northwest direction, the smell came from that direction.
The blue sky in the distance gradually changed color, and clouds of black gas appeared from there, and more and more, approaching here extremely quickly.
Chi Tang's heart welled up with excitement, and finally at this moment, he shouted with some excitement.
"Chi Tang!" this was Chi Tang's voice, but Chi Tang didn't feel anything strange at all.
There was another movement in the grass under the tree, and a long tail flashed.
The ritual on the altar has ended, and it seems that the villagers have also noticed something strange in the northwest direction, and a "dangdang" alarm bell rings in the village, which is the sound of several village names striking a dangling boulder.
The priest muttered something that Chitang couldn't understand, but the villagers below were in high spirits and responded with loud cries.
The priest also took off his mask, he was an old man with gray hair, his neck and body were covered with jade accessories, and he also wore a three-pronged jade on his forehead, two beautiful bunches of pheasant feathers stuck in it, his muscles were strong, although his physique was not tall but very strong, he raised an axe made of jade, and let out a long roar towards the sky. ...,
This is the king here, who is declaring war on an enemy from afar. Chi Tang naturally knew the Tao again, as if all this was something that often happened around him.
The men of the village took up their weapons made of jade and ran out of the village, while the women were told to take their children and hide in their houses without showing their heads.
Yes, this is not a village, this is a kingdom, and the men who took up arms are not villagers, and they may have to hoe and plough the fields, and hunt animals, but today, they are all warriors, warriors facing a battle of life and death.
The king with the axe stood in the middle of the team, and there were more and more warriors gathered, and the black crowd stood in front of the fence of the village of this kingdom, and Chi Tang looked at this formation, about five or six thousand people. Most of the expressions were the same, resolute and determined, and only a few had fears and panic on their faces.
Before the formation was set up, a gust of overwhelming wind howled, and the originally bright sky instantly turned gray, and the air flew sand and rocks, and it was a mixture. The formation of five or six thousand people suddenly became a little chaotic, and many people covered their heads and faces, allowing the wind to bring them to their feet.
The king straightened up in the wind, raised the jade yue in his hand horizontally, and shouted something in his mouth, looking at this meaning, he was cheering for the warriors.
The wind swept black gas and appeared several miles away from the warriors, with a strange sound, getting closer and closer. In the black air, the original form was gradually revealed, it was a humanoid monster with a beast face, but even the human torso was twice as large as an ordinary person.
As far as the eye can see, everywhere you look, there are endless layers of beast-faced monsters, the momentum is huge, and there are always tens of thousands of people.
These warriors must have resisted these monsters, but the disparity in numbers was so great that the outcome seemed to be determined before the battle began.
Some human warriors have bravely shot into the distance with bows and arrows in their hands, but the arrows shot were still blown away by the wind in mid-air, and the king's whistle sounded again, and the warriors raised their weapons in their hands and let out a deafening roar, and under the leadership of the king, the warriors of five or six thousand people launched a charge against the monster formation in front.
The black-pressed crowd rushed towards the even larger black crowd in front of them, and the monster cluster did not slow down due to the on-demand human charge, on the contrary, they also let out an excited roar, quickened their pace, and rushed back.
The two waves of people shook together, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaken, shouting and screaming, screaming and wailing, these voices came and went, and a great battle began, and the black tide of monsters soon enveloped the human warriors in it.
The human warriors had no armor, and even few sharp iron weapons, and they were bare-chested, draped in animal skins and bones, to mark their prowess, wielding axes and spears made of jade, and the monsters were also naked, full of well-developed muscles, and even the male roots under their crotches were unusually clear, and their weapons were the sharp claws and sharp teeth of their fingertips.
The fight was bloody and tragic, a warrior cut down a monster with an axe, and chopped off his head in the monster's howl, but then, the claws of another monster penetrated the warrior's belly; a black smoke rolled violently, several warriors were rushed to the back and forth, in the black smoke, a tiger-headed monster appeared and tore a warrior with a claw, and at the same time a huge mouth, biting on the waist of another warrior, with a force, the warrior had been bitten in two; a jackal-headed monster had just cut open a warrior's belly, greedily lying on it and sucking a few mouthfuls of blood, a red-eyed warrior had already rushed over, and the jackal monster had not had time to get upand was slain by the warrior's spear against his lower abdomen until it penetrated. ...,
The fight between humans and monsters was unexpected by Chi Tang, although the casualties were slightly more than the monsters, but they were by no means a touch of a collapse, there was no resistance, many warriors killed monsters with their blades as if slaughtering beasts, and monsters were also very afraid of the weapons in the hands of the warriors, basically as long as those weapons could cut and stab at the monster, they could hurt the monster.
Could it be that these people all have the body of the Cloud Dragon Breaker? Chi Tang felt very incomprehensible, or maybe these monsters were not as good as the monsters he had seen, and mortal attacks were just as effective against them?
Chi Tang quickly put aside this thought, now that the human warriors have fallen by a third, and the loss of the monsters is only a drop in the bucket, the monsters all over the mountains are still joining the war group in a steady stream, at this rate, I am afraid that in a moment, the human warriors will be lost.
The heads of many human warriors have been raised high by the monsters, and the corpses of many human warriors have been eaten up by the monsters.
Chi Tang wanted to help, but another voice in his heart told him that the opportunity had not yet come. He could only watch as the warriors of humanity were killed, devoured, torn apart......
The king's stubborn resistance continued, and there were fewer and fewer warriors around him, and the jade Yue in his hand had cut down at least nearly a hundred monsters, and the blade was not less sharp, and there was not even a trace of blood left, but his physical strength was gradually exhausted.
A more huge black smoke rushed out from the back, among the black smoke is a burly bear-headed monster, the bear-headed monster swept in front of the king with a strong force, the king can no longer resist, a few moves were swept to the ground by the bear-headed monster, several warriors sacrificed their lives to come to the rescue, the bear-headed monster force, the warriors were shocked out of the air, and at the same time the king who collapsed to the ground with his right hand lifted the force, suspended in the air, signaling to the back.
The battlefield resounded with the cheers of the monsters, the human king had been captured, the resistance of the human warriors had collapsed, and more than a thousand remaining human warriors retreated into the village.
A dark purple aura wrapped around a figure with an indistinct appearance slowly walked forward from the group of monsters in the back, and the monsters in the audience screamed and fell down one after another.
The bear-headed monster also knelt on one knee and placed the human king in his right hand in front of him, and the human monarch stood tall with blood-stained eyes open, staring directly at the figure in the dark purple aura.
The opportunity has come! Chi Tang's heart moved.
First, there was a sharp eagle chirp in mid-air, and a huge giant eagle swooped down.
The monsters on the battlefield were in a commotion, and they clearly felt a sense of fear, the giant eagle waved its wings straight down, and its claws rushed towards the figure in the dark purple aura, and the bear-headed monster threw down the human king, and jumped first to resist the attack of the giant eagle.
Suddenly, a wave of thunder and lightning burst out from the bottom of the eagle's talons, and the air wave mixed with thunder and lightning expanded to all directions, and the bear-headed monster screamed miserably and staggered back, and many monsters around it turned into charcoal in an instant.
Eagle Si Lei, its Willos!
Intimidated by the power of the giant eagle, the monsters wailed and retreated. A gust of cold wind suddenly emerged from the fierce wind on the field, bringing out a white figure, which rushed towards the dark purple aura, and where it passed, there were crystal ice and snowflakes, and the monsters stained by these snowflakes were immediately frozen into stiff ice.
The dark purple aura also seemed to retreat sharply with fear, and the two minotaurs stood in front of them, but they were formed into thick ice blocks only at the moment when they staggered past the white figure. The white figure stopped, but it was a majestic white-haired wolf, biting hard at the ice cubes that sealed the two minotaurs, and the ice cubes were shattered instantly, and the white-haired wolf stood between the broken and falling ice chips, looking at the figure in the dark purple halo with solemn eyes, shaking his neck, and looking up to the sky. ...,
The cold wolf takes advantage of the snow and fights thousands of miles!
The howl of the white-haired wolf is a signal, Chi Tang knew that it was time for him to start, and rose up from the high branches, but his arms were a pair of jet-black wings, "chirp"! This is the voice from Chi Tang's mouth, and the intuition in his heart told him that his target was the figure in the dark purple aura.
There was another movement in the grass under the trees, and a pale yellow body swooped out from the ground, this was a male lion with a fierce mane, and when he jumped out, he brought a strong whirlwind, and the whirlwind swirled, and swept straight towards the monsters on the battlefield.
The wind when the monster appeared was only strong and fast, but the whirlwind brought by this male lion had another miraculous effect. The male lion shook his mane and roared, the whirlwind was even more powerful, the wind swept the current, and the hundreds of monsters that were swept into the whirlwind immediately turned into piles of dry bones after the wind, and the dry bones maintained their previous posture, and then they scattered to the ground, and the roar of the male lion was still unstoppable.
The furious lion's fierce mane, the wind destroys the bones!
Chi Tang flapped his wings, looking down from mid-air were some dense monsters, a strong battle intent surged from his heart, uncontrollable sound and chirp, in a piercing ear drum "chirp", two flames shot straight out from under the wings.
A blazing flame is rolling, the fire is rising, and the hot heat wave even the pond in the air has a sense, in the sea of fire, only the screams of the monsters can be heard, and in a moment, it turns into ashes.
The crow is away from the fire, and the strange flame burns itself!
Tens of thousands of monster clusters began to retreat under this blow, wrapped in that dark purple aura, but soon found that there was no way for them to retreat.
The retreat should have been fertile and hilly, but now it strangely turned into a raging sea, the waves rolled, and a huge dragon turtle appeared out of the sea.
The monsters were dumbfounded, and the sea water merged into two columns of water like a spirit, and sprayed down on the black pressure monster cluster, the waves splashed everywhere, and the screams of the monsters were incessant, and everywhere the water flowed, they were all dissolved, and they no longer existed.
The turtle resists the water, erodes the body and breaks the soul!
The five divine beasts gathered in one place, and the demons could no longer resist, most of the demons panicked and fled in embarrassment, and only a very small part of them were still clustered around the figures in the dark purple aura.
The Angry Lion walked a few steps quickly, ran to the human king, and the king didn't know where he got the strength, he grabbed the mane of the angry lion, turned over, rode on the angry lion, patted the back of the angry lion's neck to show his gratitude, raised the jade yue in his hand again, and the whistle started again.
Chitang landed beside the swift eagle, the big white wolf stood in front of him and was on guard, and the turtle in the distance urged the waves, and they were getting closer and closer, and they all looked at the dark purple aura.
The figure in the aura still couldn't be seen really, and in the face of the five divine beasts, he had no way to retreat.
Chi Tang knew that this was the great enemy of their five divine beasts, and only by destroying him could they completely defeat the tens of thousands of demon army.
It's time to get ready to fight, Chi Tang flapped his wings with some excitement.
The dark purple aura suddenly brightened brightly, and the sky and the earth were full of strange and brilliant purple brilliance.
Chi Tang was startled and woke up
