Ah!
He saw a villager standing in the middle of the pile of logs, his body twitching powerlessly as he fell to the ground.
"This child is a substitute for the Death God. He came to our tribe to kill us! Only by bringing him back to the underworld can we guarantee the peace of our tribe! " A middle-aged man in the crowd said.
"Exactly! If he doesn't die, then we will all die! "
"Who are you to dare disturb our ceremony?" Do you not want to live anymore? "
Zhong Ming coldly looked at the two black-caped old men in the center, and the corner of his mouth hooked into a cold smile.
"If my guess is not wrong, those two are Devil Cultivator, and they should be around a few hundred years old. This formation was not set up to send back the double of the god of death, but to increase the longevity and vitality of the two of them! "
"Nonsense!" The two True Ones have always protected the well-being of our tribe. For more than a hundred years, this place has been peaceful and safe. "
At that moment, two more people in the crowd started to twitch violently, twitching a few times before falling to the ground.
"Pillar, wake up!" The mother of the young man called the pillar crouched down and picked it up, but found it dead.
The mother of pillars looked up at the boy on the stake with hatred. "Kill him! Kill him! It was he who killed my pillar. "
"Kill him! Kill him! "
"Kill him!"
Suddenly, the surrounding people started to boil with excitement as they looked maliciously at the boy on the wooden stake.
"Do you guys know what they used to increase their Longevity?" Even Zhong Ming couldn't bear to speak of this.
"It's your fate!"
Zhong Ming shouted somewhat angrily.
Upon hearing this roar, many people jumped in fright. Instantly, the surroundings quieted down.
"You've been deceived!"
Everyone looked at the two black-cloaked old men in disbelief. At this moment, a terrifying and ice-cold voice sounded out.
The voice did not have a single trace of emotion, as if it was not spoken from a person's mouth, but rather came from an ice coffin that had been sealed for ten thousand years.
"It's already too late! With the formation activated, everyone here would die! What can a mere mortal do to me? " That voice was hollow and pale. It had clearly come from the location of the two elders, but he hadn't seen any of them move their mouths.
For a moment, the atmosphere was creepy.
At this moment, the wood around the wooden stake began to burn furiously. The firelight illuminated the night as bright as day.
"Spring!" Spring! Wake up! " One by one, another fell to the ground.
The surrounding people were also thrown into chaos.
If there was one or two people, then they were brought along by the fury of death itself. Then, how was he going to explain the current scene? Villagers after villagers fell to the ground, dead. He died miserably, his eyes sunken and his mouth open. It was as if he had suffered a great deal.
Hearing the old man's reaction to what Zhong Ming had said, the villagers seemed to have understood something. He took the hoe and rushed in the direction of the black-cloaked old man, but before he even reached his side, he fell to the ground with a sound.
More and more people fell in the crowd.
The crowd fell to the ground one by one. The old man in the black cloak revealed a strange smile.
At this time, Zhong Ming felt that the ground beneath his feet was like a magnetic field that absorbed a large amount of energy, greedily absorbing the people's essence energy. Zhong Ming secretly activated the Genuine Qi's protective body, to ensure that he was not affected.
Using the little boy as an offering, he would activate the formation and use it to absorb the essence energy and life of others. Zhong Ming carefully observed the layout of the surrounding area, and his heart chilled. The surrounding layout seemed simple, but it was indeed meticulously laid out according to the requirements of the formation. In terms of formations, this type of arrangement was considered top-notch. In particular, it was used as a sacrifice for the young and vigorous boys.
"What a good reverse formation!"
The setting up and activation of this formation would take at least several decades of time and preparation to activate a formation. You can imagine how powerful and effective this formation is. Zhong Ming was glad that he realised it early. If he discovered it when the array was activated, then with his current strength, he would most likely not be able to survive.
"What two cruel Devil Cultivator, to be able to protect the tribe for a hundred years and only treat the people here as animals that they own, they must be killed at the right time to extend their lives!" Zhong Ming clenched his teeth and said.
"We are the laws of nature, the law of the jungle! You are the unlucky one who actually came here today. Be my sacrifice! "Hahaha — —" The two Devil Cultivator laughed brazenly.
More and more people started to fall in the crowd. Zhong Ming could clearly feel the energy of the two Devil Cultivator quickly increasing. No! "Mine, hurry up and take action!"
Using the Spiritual Sense s, Zhong Ming could clearly feel the energy channeling tunnel. The two Devil Cultivator s were at the location of the array's Formation Eye, the final destination of the ten thousand tunnels. As long as they killed them, the pressure difference would be reversed when the strongest point in the formation disappeared. Then, the energies that they had gained from their bodies would be sent back along the same path.
"Die!"
Zhong Ming suddenly jumped, and with a few steps, he arrived beside the two black caped elderly men, his hand was filled with Genuine Qi s, and he directly smashed towards the two elderly men's mingmen.
This was because the formation that the two elders were activating couldn't be moved. After being fatally attacked by Zhong Ming, they all spat out blood and fell to the ground.
"How could you …" Before the old man could finish, he was already dead.
After the old man fell to the ground, the protruding cloak began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, a bloody, stinky pus flowed out from beneath the cloak.
The two Devil Cultivator had not reached Immortal Ascension, so they continued to rely on human essence energy to sustain their lives in order to cultivate. If not for the fact that they had so many lives to support their growth, the two of them would have long since been reduced to dust.
Devil Cultivator's cultivation technique was originally a technique that went against the heaven's way. It was mostly meant to harm the existence of other life forms, and most of them focused on 'borrowing' instead of slowly cultivating by themselves. Borrowing was a special method of obtaining something from other lifeforms, or directly taking cultivation experience that others had cultivated painstakingly.
This was because his cultivation speed was much faster than others. However, the process was mostly cruel and contrary to the heaven's will. There were many righteous cultivators who wanted to advance by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time, using Devil Cultivator's techniques, and finally going berserk.
At this time, the two old men had already died, the Formation Eye in the formation was empty, and their Profound Qi was flowing back. Zhong Ming hurriedly removed the child on the wooden stake, and then used a silver needle to needle the unconscious people.
After a while, everyone woke up.
The boy's mother knelt in front of Zhong Ming and cried tears of joy.
"May I dare to ask for benefactor's name!" An old man walked over with a walking stick.
"My name is Zhong Ming," Zhong Ming said indifferently.
"You came to our tribe for the things in the cave behind Silver Mountain, right?" The old man had a healthy appearance. His silver beard moved slowly in accordance with the old man's frequency of speech.
"To be honest, yes." Zhong Ming didn't have anything to hide.
Hearing Zhong Ming's reply, the old man frowned, feeling troubled. "Benefactor, logically speaking, I should stop you from going, but it seems that benefactor has made up his mind to go. I do know a bit about the cave in Silver Mountain, and I hope it will be of some help to benefactor."
"Legend has it that there are rare treasures in the cave, but according to many generations ago, the leader of the tribe said that there was only one spiritual herb and two magic tools in the cave. I don't know the exact details, but there's a spirit beast guarding the cave. This spirit beast was a very ferocious White Ape, around the height of three people. It was both aggressive and powerful. "If benefactor goes like this, you will only be courting death!" As he spoke, the old man took out a small embroidered box. From the looks of it, it should have been something from a long time ago, but it was preserved extremely well and seemed to be very precious.
"This is a gift that our ancestor left behind for us. He said it's a gift for the White Ape. "Because our tribe does not cultivate martial arts, I am to give it to someone with destiny."
Zhong Ming took the embroidered box, "Thank you elder!"
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Perhaps, for thousands of years, our tribe has been living at the foot of the Silver Silver Hill. The one who should be waiting for us is you!" The old man quipped.
And it was late, and people were going home.
After extinguishing the lights in the room, Zhong Ming was unable to sleep.
When ploughing the land, the tribe clearly had the ability to get what the people in the cave desired, but no one dared to do that. All they wanted was the simplest of lives.
Three days later, just at the first of May, Zhong Ming left the tribe and ascended the Silver Mountain. Zhong Ming, who was from a different clan, had a lot of delicious food that his clan had brought him. Zhong Ming carried them in a bag.
It wasn't difficult to climb over Silver Mountain because the temperature of the fire during the first stage of training wasn't very high. It was within the range that could normally be accepted.
Very quickly, Zhong Ming went over the Silver Mountain and continued to climb.
"Hey!" "Are you going to look for the treasure?" A clear and melodious voice rang out from the back of the forest.
Zhong Ming sized up the person who came down; it was a young lady about his age. She was dressed in bright and colorful clothes, and her shoulder-length hair was all braided into little braids that were draped behind her back. The white fur of her hair accentuated the beauty of her oval face. His figure was somewhat thin and weak, but he did not have any effort in walking.
Zhong Ming nodded his head indifferently, treating it as an answer.
The girl looked at Zhong Ming seriously, "Un, being careful is also a waste of time!"
"Min Er!" A middle-aged man caught up from behind. He really had a headache because of how mature his daughter was.
Zhong Ming was struck by the girl's bluntness and remained silent.
"Min Er, be polite!" The middle-aged man walked up. Although he felt that the young man in front of him had wasted his time, he still sternly reprimanded the young girl.
The young girl mischievously stuck out her tongue, looking cute and quick-witted. It was as if the young girl herself had a naturally pure and simple beauty.
"Little brother, since we've met, it's fate! If you don't need the things in this cave badly, I'd advise you not to take the risk. To lose your life for some treasures that are nothing but nothingness, it's not worth it! " The middle-aged man sincerely tried to persuade him.
"Thank you for the reminder!" Zhong Ming looked ahead and clearly felt the spirit energy here. This should be the place with the densest spirit energy he had encountered since his rebirth.
"To tell you the truth, if my father hadn't forcefully entered the cave and was injured by the White Ape, he would have had to be treated by the spirit grass inside the cave. Little Min and I wouldn't have risked such a huge amount of life."
The Blazing Flame Grass contained an abundant amount of spirit energy, it could cure a hundred diseases, Zhong Ming was not surprised.
Seeing Zhong Ming not saying a word, the young girl thought that he was afraid and patted her chest as she spoke with heroic spirit. Just follow me! I'll cover you! "
Zhong Ming's silence was immediately treated as tacit agreement.
Suddenly, the girl pointed towards a place not too far away and cried out in shock.
"Look, in front!" What is that? "
