The altar was destroyed, and the Shaman army's military Qi immediately wavered.

Seeing that the war situation was suddenly unfavorable, signs of collapse began to appear among the Shaman scholars and nobles in the rear army; this was the old tradition of the Shaman tribe. The morale of the front army lacked the suppression of the altar, and fear returned to the hearts of the Shaman tribe; seeing corpses everywhere around them, chaos immediately appeared.

At this time, Yushan descended from the sky, and Wei Yuan took the lead.

A sea of light formed by the convergence of Shaman techniques rose, and six or seven Great Shamans attacked to intercept Yushan at the same time. Yushan sank a bit when it landed on the sea of light, but was then forcibly lifted up and disappeared.

It was not the first time both sides had fought, and they knew each other well. As the strongest sharp weapon for charging and opening the way, Wei Yuan's Yushan pressing down had long been repeatedly studied by the Shaman tribe, and no matter how the power changed, there were no more secrets. The Shaman tribe even specifically developed new Shaman techniques for this. For example, the sea of light was known for its toughness and could effectively resist the impact of Yushan.

And the Great Shamans who intercepted were carefully selected, having long been waiting for this moment, and finally did not let Wei Yuan's Yushan land on the ground.

But Wei Yuan raised his hand and pressed, and Yushan appeared again!

This time Yushan smashed down even more wildly, hitting the sea of light and sinking it. But just as the previous Yushan disappeared, another Yushan appeared in the air again.

If one time doesn't work, then two, three, more!

Wei Yuan's Dao power poured out like flowing water, falling rapidly. Every time Yushan manifested, it would take away a section of Dao power. But he did not slow down his charging speed at all, personally leading 10,000 Dragon Wing heavy cavalry to fiercely stab at the Shaman tribe's ribs!

Yushan bombarded seven times in a row, the sea of light collapsed with a bang, and the seven Great Shamans' faces were terrified, not even having time to escape, and were seriously injured the moment the sea of light shattered, and one directly exploded and died!

In Human Renjian Yanhuo, a group of immortal plants had grown, and the immortal plant in the water that had already produced vitality was even more obvious, already on the verge of sprouting.

Yushan landed, and within a hundred zhang, not a blade of grass grew, and the Red Lotus Bodhi was instantly covered with black resentment and karma.

Wei Yuan and 10,000 heavy cavalry rushed in directly from the gap, fiercely cutting the front army and the middle army apart!

Yushan appeared again, directly smashing toward the middle army flag of the Shaman tribe. This time, it was no longer a sea of light, but all kinds of Shaman techniques, and even a hundred-zhang giant python appeared, coiling around Yushan, wanting to drag it up.

But although the Shaman techniques were varied, after a flurry of confusion, the Shaman tribe finally managed to block this blow, but Wei Yuan had already led the heavy cavalry to turn around and point the blade directly at the middle army.

From the rear of Ding'an City, hundreds of cylinders were thrown, smashing toward the chaotic front army. The railgun began to bombard here. At the same time, a dozen or so fire-spraying cylinders appeared, shooting toward the Shaman rear army at a very high speed. If these cylinders were allowed to land, the Shaman rear army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

An angry roar sounded from the sky, and a dozen or so hundred-zhang tentacles reached down from the clouds, entangling the flying cylinders at the critical moment and crushing them in mid-air!

But the power of the explosion clearly exceeded the expectations of the One You Wu who appeared, and most of the tentacle tips were blown to pieces, and a rain of flesh and blood fell in the air instantly; those Shaman tribes who were drenched in it all had white smoke rising from their bodies and fell to the ground in pain. The flesh and blood of this One You Wu had unimaginable toxicity, and even the Shaman tribe could not bear it.

A large number of tentacles were blown up, and bursts of painful howling sounded from the sky, and at the same time, the cold, sticky, and damp feeling descended again, because of the One You Wu's action, the gaze of the monster outside the sky was cast over again.

The One You Wu's howling rose by eight degrees, and then disappeared in an instant. Wei Yuan's spiritual sense moved, and several more cylinders were launched, flying rapidly toward the Shaman rear army.

At this time, the Shaman army was in chaos and could no longer effectively intercept, so the hundreds of explosive cylinders thrown by the railgun, although flying slowly, most landed smoothly, and the explosion engulfed nearly half of the front army.

A dozen or so Great Shamans left the army formation and rose into the air to intercept Wei Yuan, and at the same time, the horn of retreat sounded, and the Shaman army below began to retreat.

Wei Yuan did not say a word, took out the "Cruel," and activated the magic treasure effect. In an instant, the shadow of death shrouded the hearts of all the intercepting Great Shamans, and they instinctively dispersed, opening the distance from Wei Yuan.

Just at this moment, six giant crossbows suddenly shot from Ding'an City, all chasing and shooting at the same Great Shaman!

That Great Shaman was scared out of his wits, but all the Great Shamans were watched by Wei Yuan, and no one dared to act rashly. In this way, this unlucky Great Shaman couldn't dodge the concentrated shooting of the six giant crossbows even with all his might, and was blown up in mid-air.

Wei Yuan did not relax at all, immediately led the army to pursue, and chased for nearly a hundred li, only stopping when other One You Wu wanted to take action.

After the Shaman tribe retreated, over 100,000 people were dispatched from the Azure Void to clean up the battlefield, and all the corpses of the Shaman tribe's war dead were loaded onto cargo trucks and transported to the designated dumping site.

At the same time, tens of thousands of craftsmen began to seize the time to rush to repair the city defense. A seriously wounded Great Shaman was ambushed by a flying marten while fleeing, lost his ability to act, and was captured alive, which was an unexpected joy.

Wei Yuan immediately ordered someone to send the Great Shaman to the rear and hand him over to Sun Yu and Xu Xu Henshui to see if the two uncles who were excellent in both medicine and alchemy could ask anything.

Wei Yuan flew into the sky; at this time, there were corpses everywhere within sight, black Qi of karma permeated between heaven and earth, and countless souls had nowhere to go, wandering blankly in the air.

At this time, one mortal after another walked out of Yushan, blankly becoming a member of Human Renjian Yanhuo.

The black water of the Gate of Myriad Realms was also boiling. Countless Shaman tribes appeared on the seabed walking blankly; they walked all the way along the seabed and finally disappeared into the Gate of Myriad Realms.

Wei Yuan's gaze swept across the entire battlefield, already knowing the results of this battle one step ahead.

In this battle, the city defense of Ding'an City was destroyed, one-third of the city-protecting formation was damaged, 8,000 elite soldiers defending the city died in battle, 2,000 of whom were the city defense army assigned to Bao Yun. 19,000 ordinary soldiers died in battle, and 30,000 were wounded.

70,000 Shaman soldiers died in battle, 20,000 were captured, and 70,000 to 80,000 were wounded; only the rear army was unscathed, while the front army was completely wiped out. Counting casualties, 50,000 Azure Void versus 170,000 Shaman tribe, this combat loss ratio was lower than any previous battle. The main reason was the Shaman tribe's continuous toxic water leather balls and explosive arrow bombardment, the defenders' attacks were significantly suppressed, and the giant beast crashing the gate directly took away 3,000 elite defenders! Looking at the messy battlefield, the shadow in Wei Yuan's heart never went away. This time the Shaman tribe's changes were too great, and they had countermeasures for almost every attack method of the Azure Void, and they also stole the gunpowder.

The leakage of black gunpowder was sooner or later; its configuration was quite simple, and it didn't even need to be stolen; just get some samples, and it wouldn't be difficult to study it yourself if you spent some time. However, the power of the Shaman tribe's black gunpowder was not as good as the Azure Void's black gunpowder, which should be because the formula ratio had not been adjusted well.

The Shaman tribe was originally a race lacking long-range attack means, and their main long-range attacks relied on the Blood Curse. But now they not only developed explosive arrows but also had toxic water leather balls that could be thrown. And the toxic water leather balls were clearly inspired by the Azure Void's railgun.

Although the number of these two long-range attacks was not very large now, Wei Yuan could already imagine that in the future, before the two armies met, overwhelming explosive arrows and leather balls would come first.

Fortunately, they gained some gifts from heaven and earth, which made Human Renjian Yanhuo improve slightly. Now it was no longer like before; the major immortal plants were not soft when grabbing the gifts of heaven and earth, and they didn't care about their eating manners at all, so in the end, they grabbed about the same, which belonged to rain and dew.

It's just that there was one point that Wei Yuan didn't understand; as one of the early immortal plants, the Ice Glass Divine Wood itself had an extremely cold attribute, but when it participated in the work of Human Renjian Yanhuo as a node, Wei Yuan would still heat up, and the greater the workload, the more it heated up. Wei Yuan had tried to assign it tasks alone, and finally confirmed this point.

Wei Yuan hadn't figured out the principle for the time being, but just felt that it seemed to have some relationship with the conservation of spiritual power.

At this time, Human Renjian Yanhuo sent news that Sun Yu and Xu Xu Henshui had already pried open the Great Shaman's mouth.

"So fast?" Wei Yuan was a bit surprised. Calculating the time, the Great Shaman should have just arrived at Xu Xu Henshui's place, at most not more than a stick of incense, and he surrendered?

At this time, Wei Yuan had too many questions, so he didn't stop at all and immediately rushed to Xu Xu Henshui's residence.

Reading the original text!

Xu Xu Henshui's courtyard had just been built, the scale was not large, and the Great Shaman was just thrown in the courtyard in the open air, without binding, and without anyone guarding.

This Great Shaman had a human-like face, but its mouth and nose were prominent, and it had some characteristics of a lizard or crocodile. Its body was full of hard thick skin, its body was huge, and its long tail with thorns was fully three zhang long.

When Wei Yuan saw it, it was shrinking tightly in a corner of the courtyard, protecting its body with its long tail, its face against the wall, trembling.

Wei Yuan knew that this kind of snake-lizard-crocodile-like Great Shaman was the most cold-blooded and ferocious, and they were naturally dull to pain and had strong regenerative ability, so torture was of little use to them. Wei Yuan was also just trying to treat a dead horse as a living horse, so he threw this seriously wounded Great Shaman to Xu Xu Henshui and Sun Yu.

But what was going on with this one? How could it be scared like this?

Xu Xu Henshui walked out of the inner hall and said, "It is very tame now, and it will answer honestly whatever you ask it."

Hearing Xu Xu Henshui's voice, the Great Shaman trembled even more obviously, almost wanting to squeeze its face into the wall.

Seeing the Great Shaman's reaction, Wei Yuan was even more strange: "Uncle Xu, is it afraid of you?"

"Is it very strange? Shouldn't it be?" Xu Xu Henshui asked back.

Wei Yuan really wanted to ask, where is it not strange, where should it be?

Xu Xu Henshui snorted and said faintly, "Except for those two ancestors, everyone else is still quite afraid of me. The Shaman is the same."

Wei Yuan always felt that Xu Xu Henshui had something in his words, and who were those two ancestors? But now was not the time to get to the bottom of these things; first, it was still to interrogate this Great Shaman.

Wei Yuan's first sentence was: "How did you get your gunpowder?"

The Great Shaman only kept trembling, and couldn't say a word. And its ear holes were tightly closed, and Wei Yuan felt that perhaps it didn't hear what he was saying at all.

Xu Xu Henshui frowned and said, "Answer honestly, turn your head!"

The Great Shaman trembled again, and a puddle of water slowly seeped out from under its body. Xu Xu Henshui's eyebrows stood up, and he shouted, "Are you trying to play dead?"

"No, no! I... I'll tell you everything..." It had to be said that this Great Shaman's human language was quite fluent, it's just that when it spoke, hundreds of teeth were knocking up and down, clanging, which was quite pleasant to hear.

"Where did you get your gunpowder?" Wei Yuan asked again.

"It was obtained from the human race here."

This answer was within expectations, and Wei Yuan asked again: "Where did you get it, when?"

"From here in the Azure Void, before the Great Cause-and-Effect Curse."
