After walking about a mile, I turned into the spirit body and began to recall Liu Liu.

"Liu Liu, are you there?" I waited for a reply. The only one who could help me now might be Liu Liu.

"Master, we are here," a rustling voice came from a distance, and Liu Liu and five or six other human-headed spiders appeared in front of me. Seeing my long-lost subordinates, I felt inexplicably moved.

So while walking on the road, I talked about my recent encounters. It turned out that they had been waiting for me in the dense forest. When they heard the sound of casting a spell, they carefully lurked nearby. Because of hunger, they even dug out the wild boars that Chi You had buried in the ground.

Shared food.

And when I told about my recent experiences, they also understood the reason why they were so afraid of facing that mysterious man.

Liuliu and I were walking and chatting. Ten miles was not too far. My physical fitness has almost made a qualitative leap now, and it was very easy to walk along the way.

Bursts of light suddenly appeared in front of the dense forest. I realized that we might be approaching the end of the dense forest, so I called Yoyo and them to hide themselves, and I turned into the spirit state to scout forward.

Since Chiyou specifically warned against dangerous enemies, it is better to sail with caution.

As I expected, at the end of the dense forest was a cliff, more than ten feet high, with a small stream. Far away from the shore were strange buildings, but they didn't look like residences. Suddenly I realized,

This is where the altar is located, and behind the altar is a dense forest with no end in sight.

At this time, there were footsteps and voices coming from the cliff in the distance, and I hurriedly hid. The footsteps got closer and the voices became clearer.

"Why don't you come tonight?" asked a thick voice.

The person next to them replied, "We are going to send people to deal with a group of people nearby tonight. They are getting closer and closer to the altar. The priests have decided to take action tonight."

"Well, that can only mean they are unlucky. The altar is a forbidden area, and any threat to the altar must be eliminated. Hehehe, I just don't know if the centaurs taste good. The pig-headed man last time was really unpalatable.

".

The thick voice continued, complaining: "I don't know, I will know when the time comes..."

The voices of the two people talking gradually faded away. After hearing this, I was shocked. It turned out that Chi You had already reached this step.

No! I have to inform Little Baimao first! I was about to turn around and leave, but the voices of the two people just now came from the far away direction again, so I continued to hide in the dark and observe.

I thought about the purpose of this trip and came up with a plan.

Coming here were two human beings with the same appearance as me. Could it be that they were also from the early Yuan Dynasty? They were holding spears and wearing red robes. One was tall, one was short, one was strong and the other was thin. The two continued to talk.

of.

I quietly lurked and hid in the tree behind them, and then began to recite the incantation. There was no earthquake in the ground as I imagined, because I was on the edge of the cliff and I didn't want to call the priests from far away.

The legs of the two patrol guards were quickly covered by the sand and stones gathered around them, making them unable to move. I immediately jumped out of the tree, holding a dagger and looking down, wanting to kill the big guy first.

But the big guy reacted quickly, and the one with the spear stabbed back. I had no choice but to use my dagger to block the spear. As soon as I landed on the ground, I exerted force under my feet and turned the direction to stab the second blow.

The big man holding the spear was obviously not as flexible as me, and his feet were also restrained. My blow pierced his heart and he fell to the ground convulsing.

The second person looked at these two breaths, and his companion was killed, and he suddenly lost his mind.

I tried hard to portray myself as a villain who kills without blinking an eye, hoping to scare him and get more information. After all, so far, I have overheard more information than Chi You gave me.

I wiped the dagger on the big man's body and walked towards the other man with an evil expression on his face. He seemed to be frightened as well. He didn't expect such a disparity in strength, but he still pointed the spear at me and started to stutter...

"You...who are you, why do you want to kill us, you...do you know who we are?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, now where do I start eating?"

I thought that they seemed to be targeting men and horses just now, so I wanted to use this to intimidate him, and started to look him up and down.

Among them, the skinny guard was still twisting his body vigorously, trying to break free from the restraints under his feet.

I dodged and cut his wrist with the first two knives, and the spear fell to the ground. When I looked carefully, I saw that the tip of the spear was actually made of polished jade!

"What are you going to do to me?"

The guard's voice was already stammering, "If our high priest finds out that you dare to kill the people on the altar, he will not let you go."

"Oh?? Where did your altar come from? Tell me, maybe I won't kill you if I'm happy."

While I was talking to him, I switched my spirit state and called Liu Liu and the others to lurk over.

If I can't scare him, there are other things that can scare him.

"Don't try to get anything out of me. Only the priests know the secrets of the altar. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you until I die."

The guard's attitude of looking at death as if he were at home is still quite courageous. If I hadn't heard earlier that he wanted to eat people and horses, I might have let him live.

"You have the guts. Since you are of no use to me anymore, I will send you two on your way to become their food."

I pointed to the human-headed spider with half of its body exposed in the jungle,"

They have been hungry for several days."

After saying this, he called Liu over and dragged the big guy away from the ground. The sound of a delicious meal came from the depths of the jungle. From time to time, blood tissue flew in the air and splashed on the leaves.

At this time, the only remaining guard was so frightened that his face turned green, his eyes wide open and he was speechless.

"Don't worry, it's your turn next. Do you really have nothing to say?"

I put away the dagger and started to do his ideological work.

"I...our altar has been around for I don't know how long it has been. The altar is used to enshrine holy objects, and the things we enshrine can only be seen by the priests..."

The guard's expression was pale and he spoke slowly.

It turns out that before they were sent to guard the altar, there had been several generations of guards and priests guarding it to protect the sacred objects being enshrined. Now that I think about it, Chi You wanted it too.

They have a clear division of labor here. The priests are responsible for protecting and enshrining the holy objects in the altar, while the guards are responsible for patrolling and guarding the surrounding areas.

Once there are groups around that threaten the safety of the altar, they will take the initiative to eliminate them, and because of food ration problems, they will occasionally eat these intruders.

The guards are warriors with force values ​​and use jade-polished weapons. Among the guards, there is a chief guard who is particularly powerful. Even many priests praised him.

The priest is the authority of the altar, knows witchcraft, and is the backbone of guarding the altar. Important decisions are also discussed by the priests, and are finally announced by the most powerful and respected high priest here.

There are a total of 30 guardians and 6 priests at the altar. The nearest tribe of centaurs seems to have broken into the guarded area of ​​​​the altar by accident. They will attack them tonight. I must find a way to stop them!

Having already obtained the information about the altar, I walked up behind him and knocked him out with a sharp blow from my hand. After gathering myself, I headed towards the direction of the centaur tribe.

According to the guards, the centaurs and horse tribes now live on the edge of the dense forest under the cliff, with some shrubs further beyond.

I needed to conserve my energy for the next battle, so I called the human-headed spiders as vehicles to walk through the dense forest.

I need to settle the tribe of men and horses before the priests below notice that the patrolling guards are missing. I don't know the patrol route of the two people in front, so I can only walk along the cliff.

After walking a few miles forward, I found a cliff that had collapsed for a long time. From here, I could reach the creek below the cliff.

I don’t know if there are any patrol arrangements below. This place is too close to the altar camp. Once the body is exposed, the plan will most likely come to nothing.

So I called Liuyou to protect my body, and I entered the spirit state to investigate below.

After the physical training and strengthening, it was also of great benefit to my spiritual body. I jumped quickly on the collapsed rocks, crossed the stream, and stepped into the dense forest.

I carefully observed my feet and surroundings to see if there were any traces of human activity. I also wanted to be alert to see if anyone could see me in my spiritual state.

There was a relatively primitive ecological environment under my feet. There were no roads and no traces of human life. I continued to search until I found a road.

The road was covered with fallen leaves, and the surrounding weeds were consciously growing on both sides due to trampling. There were scratch marks on the mottled tree trunks next to it.

It seemed that this place was close to the border area they patrolled. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, I continued to investigate around the edge of the road, hoping to find something else.

Sure enough, before walking too far, voices could be heard in the distance.

"There is no need to make any preparations tonight. We have already scouted them out. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled. It is effortless." A voice said in front.

"For the sake of safety, there is a priest who will accompany us, and there are 12 of us in total. We must not underestimate the enemy. If we encounter the group of wild boars last time, if the priest hadn't taken action, we might have suffered more casualties.

..." Another voice came from behind.

I stared at their figures. They were two tall and strong guards. They were dressed like the two before. They were walking calmly. They were talking and observing their surroundings vigilantly.

It's easy to scare off the enemy if you do something so close to the altar, so now I can only rely on outsmarting him.

Heart

After thinking about it, I returned to my original state, and we walked to the bottom of the cliff and began to search for traces of the human and horse tribes around the edge of the dense forest.
Chapter completed!
