Volume 1: Kitazawa Volume Chapter 41: Barbarians, Coming
"Master, is the sword refined by Ye Xuan a spiritual weapon?" On the top of a mountain, Su Mu stood in the wind and snow and respectfully asked an old man.
"Look at its power has reached the level of a first-grade spiritual weapon, it's true. The old man stood in the wind and snow wrapped in a black coat, brushing his white beard covered with snowflakes.
"What's the situation over there with the teleportation spirit array, can it be activated?" The Ministry of Wind Hyacinth has already found the teleportation spirit array according to the news from Ye Xuan, and they have already sent people to investigate, trying to activate the spirit array that has gone through thousands of years.
"There's no accurate word yet, but it seems to be in trouble. Su Mu was faintly worried, there were too many strange things that had happened recently. At the beginning, all contact points in the eastern region were lost, and nearly 700 people disappeared. They sent people to search for it as soon as possible, but none of the people who had passed there came back.
"Intensify efforts to repair the teleportation spirit array, and entrust the mercenary group to investigate the situation in the east again, more than seven hundred people is not a small number. The old man sighed, there were too many variables in this year's Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, which made him a little unable to keep an eye on it. Although their Wind Hyacinth power has increased greatly this time, an old fox like him smells a hint of danger.
A long time ago, Ye Xuan told them that there might be a barbarian invasion, but he originally didn't believe it and suppressed the news. But for some reason he kept thinking about this information these days, which made him feel uneasy.
"Whoop ....."
"Master, it's raining, let's go back. Su Mu felt the rain dripping and held up his umbrella.
"Hmm. The old man glanced at the stars twice more and prepared to leave.
Just as the old man turned around, he suddenly saw that the snow on the ground had changed color, and the originally clean white had been turned black by the raindrops. The snow in the sky also stopped, and the originally sporadic raindrops instantly turned into a torrential rain, and the stars instantly darkened, and the clouds were thick.
Black rain poured down from the sky like ink and flowed down to the white earth. It was as if an invisible wolf was splashing ink between heaven and earth, and soon rendered the white world into another color, pitch black. The old man and Su Mu were shocked, how could the color of this rain be black?
The temperature between heaven and earth dropped instantly, making both of them feel very depressed, and the vitality in their bodies was not running smoothly, as if they were about to be blocked.
"This ......" The old man walked into the rain, looked at the black rain falling on his palm, and felt the vitality in his body being sealed little by little, and his heart was horrified. Immediately controlling the vitality in the body to drive away this suppression, this black rain is too weird.
"Whew......"
A wolf howl came from the sky, like a sword that opened the sky to tear apart the dark clouds in the sky, and the red light fell from the sky to the earth, forming a vortex of vitality. The pale white moon in the sky turned blood-red at some point, and the scarlet light slightly illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the entire space seemed to be shaking.
"Woohoo......" Another wolf howl, this time from the ground. A huge pattern made entirely of white veins appeared near the mountain pass of the Medicine Spirit Valley, teleporting down from the sky and landing on the ground like a teleportation spirit array.
The lines on the ground are still burning with flames, perfectly carving the mysterious power of space on the ground.
"Woo......" In the black rain, tall figures stood up, their bodies were always as tall as two adults, and their limbs were as strong as oxen. The crimson pupils shimmered in the black rain, spreading the cold terror. All of them were clad in iron armor and held huge weapons, some rusty, some broken.
......Ten giant wolves, half a body taller than these giants, raised their heads to the sky and howled, and the mighty wolf howl spread throughout the valley, scattering all the birds and beasts in an instant. Even the spirit beasts nested in their nests and did not dare to come out, trembling.
"Huh?" Ye Xuan felt the raindrops and opened his eyes, and he also fell asleep. As soon as he saw that it was raining, he quickly picked up Liu Ran and ran into the tent, and just ran two steps when he suddenly heard a wolf howl. That voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, which stopped Ye Xuan's steps, Ye Xuan turned his head to look at the entrance of the Medicine Spirit Valley, and froze.
In his sight, tall giants rode giant wolves, cloaked in black rain and armed with weapons. There were about twenty or thirty giants, and they took their ten giant wolves with them, like a procession of death.
"This ...... This is ......" Ye Xuan looked at the approaching black giant, his body shaking uncontrollably, he was afraid. Liu Ran also woke up at this time, rubbing his sleepy eyes and glancing at the group of monsters walking over at the mountain pass, and instantly woke up.
For a moment, both of them heard a sound similar to laughter, Liu Ran took a few steps back and was frightened by the momentum of this group of monsters, what is this?
"Wake up...... Wake up!" Ye Xuan was also retreating, his face pale, that kind of murderous aura and momentum were completely beyond his ability to resist, and he had already lost in terms of momentum alone.
These giants are the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper who walks on the black rain. Cold sweat flowed out uncontrollably from Ye Xuan's body, and he took out a specially modified Ming Di arrow and shot it at the sky.
"Wow!"
The sharp sound tore through the sky and woke up many people, these mercenaries suddenly woke up from their sleep, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent, looking at the giants walking in the black rain in the distance, they were all shocked, Lei Li stared at those giant wolves with wide eyes and froze, not only him, but all the members of the mercenary group were also stunned.
"These ...... What is it?" Lei Li looked at the giants who were getting closer and closer, his heart was beating wildly, he didn't know why he felt very frightened, obviously the other party didn't do anything, but he just felt very scared, this was a tremor from the soul.
"Barbarian...... Are they really here......" Ye Xuan's right hand holding the sword kept shaking, and he couldn't hold the sword with both hands.
"Barbarian ......" Everyone was shocked, how could there be barbarians in this Winter Spirit Ancient Realm?
"It doesn't matter if he's a barbarian or not, try it first!" Da Zhuang was still as reckless as ever, brandishing a machete and rushing forward.
"Don't go, it's dangerous!" Ye Xuan shouted, but it was too late.
The big strong war spirit was a red flame ape, and the moment it was summoned, it stepped on the ape's body, jumped up, and the whole person flew out, holding the machete and slashing at a white giant wolf walking in front. On the wolf's neck rode a somewhat rickety old barbarian, and I saw the corners of his mouth grinning as if he was smiling.
The white wolf under his body suddenly raised his head and opened his huge mouth, swallowing the big man in mid-air in one gulp, and the terrifying chewing sound was followed by a short time to spit out a bloody big knife, which had been chewed by the giant wolf and was not formed. Ju Lang licked his lips with satisfaction, his white wolf eyes stared at Ye Xuan and the others, the corners of his mouth grinned, it was smiling!
"Whew!"
The white giant wolf roared, and the nine barbarian wolves behind him rushed out and rushed towards the station of the Thunder Eagle Mercenary Group, and the figure like a grim reaper rushed over like a hurricane, and the barbarians on the back of the wolf shouted and waved the weapons in their hands, driving the giant wolf under them, they were laughing wildly!
"Run...... Run!" Finally, a mercenary couldn't bear the fear and dropped his weapon and ran. This kind of gap in strength is not something they can make up for at all, Da Zhuang is relatively strong in their mercenary group, and he was actually eaten in one bite, so what use can they be with these shrimp soldiers and crabs?
"Run...... the crowd suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.
"Calm down, prepare to meet the enemy!" Lei Li suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted, these barbarians are far faster than them, once their defense line is broken through, then they will only be slaughtered, and fleeing will only expose their backs to these enemies, and the end must be cruel.
Fortunately, the people who came out with him this time are all good hands, and they are all lifelong friendships and have seen scenes of life and death. With Lei Li's order, he quickly formed a defensive formation, and the nine barbarian wolves who rushed over were waiting in a strict formation.
For a moment, Ye Xuan remembered the scene he had seen inside the Flame Feather Bow at that time. He stood on top of a city wall and watched the barbarian wolf cavalry rushing in the distance, he thought that this kind of scene would only happen on the battlefield on the front line, but he never thought that now he was facing such a scene, close at hand.
"Kill!"
With a thunder command, everyone summoned the war spirit and rushed forward, and the colorful vitality lit up the night sky and dispelled most of the darkness.
However, Ye Xuan saw those barbarians laughing, they were laughing wildly, their crimson eyes were full of mockery. Only then did Ye Xuan understand that their defenses were useless at all.
At that time, he saw in the illusion that the senior who gave him the flaming feather bow had exhausted all means, even at the cost of burning his life, to eliminate a few barbarian wolf cavalry.
And this time, there were nine of them!
"Don't go...... Come back, come back quickly!" Ye Xuan's eyes widened and his hands kept trembling, he couldn't do anything now. Colorful energy lights up the night sky and dispells the darkness. However, it was short-lived. The barbarian wolf cavalry effortlessly broke through the defensive formation laid by Lei Li.
For a while, the screams were repeated, those mercenaries who were brave and good at fighting in the past were trampled by the waves like ants, most of them had the strength of the inner realm, but in front of these giant wolves, they were not combat effectiveness at all, they fell one by one, or were eaten.
The battlefield was suddenly filled with terrifying chewing and screams, and the smell of blood stained Ye Xuan's eyes red, and he couldn't do anything.
"Ahhh
"Dang!"
"What!"
The moment the sword fell, it snapped as if it had slashed at something extremely hard. The long sword was broken in two, and there was not even a trace left on his neck.
The mercenary was frightened stupidly, how could this be? For a moment he forgot to think, and he forgot to dodge, and was held up easily by the big hand of the barbarian.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me...... My mother is still waiting for me at home, please don't ......."
"Click......."
"Nail!" Lei Li roared angrily, and rushed forward with a broadsword in hand.
However, just as the wolf cavalry was about to approach, Lei Li and the barbarian on the wolf's back met their eyes. The scarlet eyes seemed to contain the devil and fixed Lei Li, and Lei Li looked at those eyes like this, and no longer dared to take half a step forward, and stayed in place.
Watching his former friend fall in a pool of blood, he couldn't do anything.
His mother is still waiting for him at home......
"Brother...... Brother ......"
Lei Qianqian ran out in fear to find his brother after hearing the chaos, and she was also frightened.
"Qianqian, run!" Liu Ran woke up in an instant after hearing Lei Qianqian's voice, waved at the little girl crying in the black rain and hurriedly ran towards her, she had to take this weak child away, this was not the place she should be.
"Brother Xiao Ran...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......" Lei Qianqian cried and ran in the direction of Liu Ran.
"Come here!" Liu Ran ran to Lei Qianqian, this child is innocent, and he can't let him see this bloody scene.
"Brother Xiao Ran......" Lei Qianqian ran while wiping her tears, falling several times but not daring to stop, her ears were full of terrifying sounds.
"Danger!" Ye Xuan suddenly saw a black shadow appear behind Lei Qianqian, raising the big knife in his hand!
"No!" Liu Ran also saw the figure behind Lei Qianqian, and saw the big knife raised in his hand.
"Brother Xiao Ran!" Lei Qianqian was about to approach Liu Ran, her frightened expression gradually calmed down and she quickened her pace. At this moment, Lei Qianqian suddenly felt a cool breeze suddenly blowing behind her, and then her lower body seemed to lose consciousness and fell to the ground.
"No ......"
Liu Ran shouted heartbreakingly, watching the long knife fall, cutting off the small white figure and splitting it in two......
