Chapter 96: The Will-o’-the-wisp on the Altar Cao Xiu’s plan
The Ghost Wolf Tribe is a relatively powerful tribe on the outskirts of the wilderness.
Although the leader of the Ghost Wolf clan was defeated in the battle for the Barbarian King three hundred years ago, the entire tribe was implicated due to the use of some not-so-bright methods, and was expelled from the relatively fertile depths of the wilderness to the periphery. As a result, the strength of the entire tribe
The decline is sharp.
But as a large tribe that was once able to compete for the position of Barbarian King, relying on their past heritage still prevented them from completely declining.
Otherwise, where would anyone have the strength to hunt the two-headed giant ape?
Therefore, the Ghost Wolf Tribe is still able to dominate among the many small tribes on the outskirts of the wilderness.
The Ghost Wolf Club was particularly lively today, with countless men and women wearing simple leather armors happily reveling around the altar.
The body of the two-headed giant ape was placed on the altar. Tens of thousands of tribesmen gathered around the altar and danced strangely, making strange noises from time to time.
Gradually, wisps of black energy rose up from everyone's bodies, completely blocking the light of the stars and moon. Only the totem poles around the altar were still burning with flames, bringing a faint light to the tribe.
Above, the blood that should have solidified in the giant ape's body gradually flows, following the runes throughout the entire altar.
When the last ghost-like rune was connected by blood, the entire altar suddenly lit up, and a strange green flame rose.
The flames are not hot, on the contrary, they reveal a biting coldness.
As the flames burned, the blood essence and physical essence of the two-headed giant ape slowly turned into a purer power, gradually blending into the mouth of the white-bone wolf head in the center of the altar.
The bone-white wolf head did not move at all, but the depths of the wolf's mouth seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy poured into it, nothing would escape.
"Roar……"
Suddenly, a roar echoed deep in the soul.
The body of the two-headed giant ape, which was already completely dead, began to struggle and twist, as if trying to escape from the altar.
But it was already dead, most of the blood in its body had been drained out, and its limbs were pinned by huge spears, making it really unable to move freely.
"Roar!"
After another angry roar, a huge figure emerged from the two-headed giant ape, which was its soul body!
I don’t know how the people of the Ghost Wolf Division managed to seal the soul of the two-headed giant ape within their body after killing it.
At this moment, its soul roared repeatedly, and its eyes stared at the surrounding barbarians with resentment, wanting to rush down and tear these barbarians into pieces.
But it just took one step, and it seemed as if some restriction was triggered, and the green flames that covered the entire altar turned into chains and wrapped around it.
The flame chain is extremely tough, and it also has the power to burn the soul. No matter how hard it struggles, it cannot break free. Instead, under the burning of the flame, the soul body gradually turns into pure energy, and together with the essence in the body, it is destroyed by the bones of the wolf head.
Breathe it into your mouth.
In a tent not too far away from the crowd, Cao Xiu and Shen Xu were hiding inside.
They restrained their aura, pierced two small holes in the animal skin tent, and looked out at the barbarians' actions through the holes.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xu felt a little guilty: "A mere peripheral tribe can directly hunt and sacrifice magical beasts in the supernatural realm. Are you sure the sect wants us to do the trial instead of sending them to death?"
"This is just the first barbarian tribe we have come into contact with. Don't make a decision so early!"
Cao Xiu smiled and said: "If the barbarians in the wilderness were really powerful, the sect would not let us die casually!
In fact, judging from their performance in hunting the two-headed giant ape, they themselves are not too strong. Without the help of the ghost wolf spirit body and the hundreds of wolf riders, it would be impossible to keep the two-headed giant ape alive.
At least if it wants to escape, no barbarian can stop it."
"Senior brother is saying that this tribe should be the most powerful one nearby?"
"should be!"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Now that we have met, let's make this tribe our first target!
However, if you want to capture this tribe, the first thing you need to do is to seal or smash the bone wolf head. As long as you don’t have this thing, and you can recruit a hundred or so outer disciples, it won’t be difficult to capture the Ghost Wolf Tribe!”
"It's not easy to seal that wolf head!"
Shen Xu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that before we can cast a spell to seal it, the ghosts and gods living in it will have been alarmed.
With the strength of that giant wolf soul, we are no match!"
"Who told you that ghosts and gods are inhabiting that white skull?"
"Isn't it?"
"of course not!"
Cao Xiu said with a smile: "Before I set off, I went to the library to look up records about the ghosts and gods believed by the barbarians. I also asked Elder Hua Ruoxi for advice, so I know a lot of things.
These ghosts and gods who bewitched the barbarians have not actually come here. Their bodies are still in the Netherworld. The bone wolf head is actually just a magic weapon to communicate with the ghosts and gods. It can open a channel for the barbarians to sacrifice. The ghosts and gods just enjoy the sacrifices.
Therefore, as long as we can seal this wolf head and block the passage to the netherworld, that ghost and god will not be able to come out of thin air no matter how tyrannical it is!"
Shen Xu was overjoyed: "So, we are sure to win!"
"You can't say that!"
Cao Xiu shook his head: "Even without the bone wolf head, as long as the barbarians of this tribe continue to pray and sacrifice to the ghosts and gods, they can still communicate with the ghosts and gods again, and then choose another thing as the coordinates, and the spirit body will come to help at the critical moment.
So if we want to take down the Ghost Wolf Tribe in one fell swoop, we must catch them off guard and not give them enough time to summon ghosts and gods!
Otherwise, judging from the strength of the ghost spirit body, although it is not invincible, if you want to take it down, you must unite with a larger number of fellow disciples to set up a formation and slowly consume all the power of its spirit body.
And once you do this, you can certainly win, but with so many fellow sects sharing the benefits after the war, the gains won't be much.
The most important thing is that if you bully the few with more, even if you win, you can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but you will not be able to stand out from many disciples!
If we want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain recognition from the upper echelons of the sect, we must do something outstanding!"
Shen Xu's heart was filled with excitement at what he said.
Especially when I think about the last time I went to Xiaohan Mountain with Cao Xiu, I didn't do much, but in the end I just followed my senior brother and won all the way, and gained a lot of benefits.
Now that I saw Cao Xiu looking like he had already made plans, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.
Could it be that this time I can eat meat with my senior brother?
Thinking of the benefits I got last time, my heart suddenly became hot: "What are you going to do, senior brother?"
Cao Xiu said: "Our biggest advantage now is that we arrived suddenly. On the other hand, the barbarians are too scattered. Even if someone leaks the news, it cannot spread to all tribes in a short time, especially the tribes on the periphery of the wasteland.
So this gives us an opportunity to catch them off guard.
You send the message back immediately and lead all the fellow disciples from Lingxiu Peak here.
As long as they are fast enough, this first victory will belong to us at Lingxiu Peak!"
