Chapter 244

In the northern part of Yunzhou, the largest clan tribe of the Barbarians, Muhagema, a grand and bloody sacrificial activity was underway.

Although snow was drifting in the sky and the cold wind was howling at this time, it had almost no impact on the entire sacrificial activity.

"Dong-dong-dong"

The shamans surrounding the altar kept beating and knocking on human-skin drums, chanting spells that outsiders couldn't understand in loud voices.

At the same time, some shaman disciples or tribal warriors selected were also moving a large number of sacrifices and placing them on the altar continuously, waiting for the ancestral spirits to enjoy them.

After the first round of sacrifices ended, the shamans didn't stop there, but one by one began to sit cross-legged around the altar, and then began to incite the various powers released by the Guiyi they raised themselves.

Instantly, the sacrifices that were still alive lost their lives and turned into corpses placed on the altar.

At this time, Ugomo, the first warrior in the Muhagema tribe and also the person favored by the ancestral spirits, and even more so the son of the tribal chief, was guided by the shamans beside him and slowly walked onto the altar filled with various bloody sacrifices.

After a bloody sacrifice, the altar was attached with a layer of viscous blood. This blood flowed through the grooves on the altar to various bone implements covered with a large number of Guiyi symbols.

Ugomo, with a sturdy body and dark red blood patterns all over his body, stood on the altar looking like a tall statue.

Especially against the backdrop of the large number of sacrifices around, this powerful Barbarian warrior looked like a demon god who had walked out of hell.

Ugomo, standing in the middle of the altar, looked around and then directly put a special hollowed-out beast skull on his head.

Immediately, other priests surrounding the altar began to beat the human-skin drums again, and then one after another special Guiyi were released by them.

"Peng-peng-peng!"

Under their control, these Guiyi began to sink into the bone implements on the altar that were carved with special symbols.

"Crack-crack-crack"

Because she attached enough importance to this matter, she directly arranged for her trusted aide Li He to handle it, and now there was already some progress.

Afterwards, the blood on the altar began to flow backward, gathering again from all directions to the center, which was Ugomo's body.

"Hu-ha! Hu-ha! Hu-ha!"

When this blood wrapped around Ugomo's whole body, other priests immediately began to shout.

Soon, this blood began to congeal and turn black on Ugomo, eventually forming something like a carapace.

"Crack~ crack~"

As this layer of carapace cracked, when the original Ugomo appeared again, he was already like a different person.

Especially those eyes, which were cold to the extreme; one couldn't see the slightest human emotion existing at all.

"Kusa~ kusa~"

Seeing this scene, other shamans immediately bowed to Ugomo one after another, their expressions appearing extremely fanatical, each one looking as if they wished they could prostrate themselves.

Because at this very moment, the Ugomo in front of them was the incarnation of the Barbarian Saint in the human world!

"Wuduobuda, Lisa aha"

As Ugomo spoke two sentences, instantly, whether it was the shamans surrounding the altar or the Barbarian warriors watching or bowing around, all of them issued extremely passionate shouts.

"Ao-ao~ hu-ha! Hu-ha!"

Soon, the Barbarian warriors of the Muhagema tribe began to take action. They took out the preserved dried meat and brought the hungry wolf beasts to set off for other Barbarian tribes within Yunzhou.

As these Barbarian wolf cavalry spread in all directions, other Barbarian tribes that had already basically stabilized also began to stir one after another.

Soon, one Barbarian wolf cavalry unit after another began to assemble among the various tribes, which meant that a new war was about to begin.

"I didn't expect that the Li King in the east hasn't started yet, but the north has become chaotic again?"

In the gravedigger's small courtyard, Lin Feng noticed the change in the situation in Yunzhou and couldn't help but feel speechless.

"It's a pity that the corpse-collecting Zhiren in my hand cannot go deep into the north to investigate what the specific situation is there. The information obtained by burying Barbarian corpses is really too little."

The Barbarian tribes moved south on a large scale. On the surface, it seemed to be because the climate in the north was too harsh, leading to the mass death of the livestock they raised, which eventually forced them to move south to survive.

But in reality, Lin Feng noticed through the memories of some Barbarian corpses that the reason behind this was not that simple.

It was just that it was unrealistic to want to figure out the situation in the north based solely on these memories; Lin Feng could only infer some things.

That was that there was very likely something even more ferocious than the Barbarians in the north, causing these Barbarian tribes to have to move south comprehensively to avoid disaster.

"Let's ignore the matter in the north for now. Next, the situation at Fenglei Mountain is the key point. I'm afraid those Barbarians will be the first to pull out this nail stuck in Yunzhou this time!"

"I just don't know how many troops will be arranged this time? If the number is too small, it won't be able to satisfy my demand for wolf beasts!"

Although he knew that the Barbarian army was going to attack Fenglei Mountain next, Lin Feng felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Currently, the Shuzhuan Gui's ability had taken shape after his cultivation, and it could transform the will of wolf beasts anytime and anywhere.

In this way, he could completely start to cultivate Gui wolf beasts in batches. The only shortcoming now was that the number of wolf beasts in his hand was too small; adding the few in the hands of the corpse-collecting Zhiren, there were not even ten.

Such a small number was obviously not enough, but if the Barbarian army attacked Fenglei Mountain on a large scale, it would be equivalent to them voluntarily sending wolf beasts to his door!

——————

That afternoon, Fenglei Mountain was already covered by wind and snow, and looking from afar, it was a piece of silver white.

"Report to True Person Zhou, I indeed did not see wrong. The wolf cavalry of several Barbarian tribes have all started to move!"

Hearing the report from the scout arranged in Yunzhou, True Person Zhou's mood was about the same as the ice and snow outside—belonging to a piece of coldness.

But no matter what, the day that should come would come; it was just a matter of coming early or late.

"The heavy snow has just fallen, and the military disaster has arrived. Is it a blessing or a curse? Who can know?"

Looking at the snow-white mountain range outside the door, True Person Zhou said this quite heavily.

"This Daoist already knows. Since this is the case, tell General Wei to prepare to meet the enemy. We will definitely swear to die and not retreat!"

Then he turned his head to look at the scout who came to report the news and said this to him.

"Yes!"

Hearing True Person Zhou's firm words, the scout who rushed back to report the news also immediately agreed.

"How can the sect's dojo be ravaged by barbarians!"

After the scout left, True Person Zhou stood up directly. After firmly whispering this while looking at the familiar grass and trees beside him, he disappeared on the spot.

In the small courtyard on the mountainside, several apprentices of the corpse-collecting Zhiren were practicing boxing in the snow after just finishing the medicinal soup that nourished the body.

The so-called "practice in the dog days of summer, practice in the three nines of winter" was not just talk. To practice martial arts, one must be able to endure hardship and persist; only with perseverance can one achieve success.

Although the prescription Lin Feng specially opened for these apprentices had a mild medicinal effect, the best way to absorb it was to keep practicing martial arts.

"Master, this medicine is really strange. Junior Brother Li is actually not afraid of the cold anymore!"

Standing there, the corpse-collecting Zhiren's apprentice Zhang Shiyong looked at the other fellow apprentices working hard at martial arts and couldn't help but praise the corpse-collecting Zhiren.

At this moment, the corpse-collecting Zhiren discovered that True Person Zhou of Fenglei Temple appeared outside the courtyard wall, so he walked over directly.

"Sigh, this Daoist is presumptuous to visit, please forgive me, sir!"

As soon as the corpse-collecting Zhiren approached, True Person Zhou bowed with both hands to apologize to the corpse-collecting Zhiren.

"Crack-crack-crack"

Seeing his action, the corpse-collecting Zhiren understood that something must have happened, so he pointed to the room to signal the other party to enter the room and talk.

"Good!"

Soon, the two arrived in the room, and True Person Zhou didn't hide it, directly telling the corpse-collecting Zhiren the news he had just learned.

"The commotion made by the various Barbarian tribes this time is not small. Next, the main force of the Barbarian army will likely attack Fenglei Mountain directly. I hope you can take action at the critical moment to help us!"

After saying this, True Person Zhou bowed deeply to the corpse-collecting Zhiren again. Now, he had placed all his hopes on the corpse-collector in front of him.
