At the entrance of the valley, overwhelming black fireballs erupted from the mouths of those wolf-shaped monsters, falling on the city walls one after another, erupting with bursts of violent roars.
With a flash of purple light on the surface of these huge city walls, they turned into a brilliant purple light curtain, blocking these fireworks one after another. Groups of black fireworks exploded one after another, turning into countless shocking fluctuations, which still caused the city walls to tremble for a while. Tremor.
Fortunately, due to the rain of crossbow arrows fired from the city wall and the fierce counterattack of the demon monks, these wolf-shaped monsters were unable to cross the thunder pool of the city wall.
At the same time, the demon monks of the Sunset Tribe in the valley, after a brief mobilization, also began to fight back against the green flying snakes in the sky.
For a time, various magic lights shuttled back and forth in the void, and exploded one after another, making huge flames and roars.
"Could this be a tide of beasts?" In mid-air, Liu Ming's face showed no emotion at all, while Qian Ruping held Liu Ming's arm tightly, looking a little nervous.
At this moment, a green flying snake several feet long swooped down and pounced on a young man in a beast robe from the Sunset tribe not far from Liu Ming. The long snake teeth were exposed, like sharp daggers.
The boy in the animal robe looked to be in his teens. He seemed to be frightened and froze in place, refusing to run away.
Liu Ming frowned when he saw this, snorted coldly, flicked his fingers, and with a "chi" sound, a purple sword energy shot out in a rapid rotation.
With a "click", the huge green flying snake was cut into two pieces, and a rain of scarlet blood sprinkled around it.
The boy in the animal robe was hit in the face by a few drops of snake blood, and then he reacted. He glanced at Liu Ming blankly, then let out a startled scream and ran towards a nearby building.
The two sections of the flying snake's body hit the ground heavily, struggled twice, and soon stopped moving.
Liu Ming moved his fingers together, and spiral-shaped purple sword energy ejected out without any hesitation. In the blink of an eye, he chopped down several green flying snakes that were fighting with several demon monks nearby.
The demon monks glanced at Liu Ming gratefully and then flew towards the other green flying snakes.
At this moment, accompanied by a series of rumbling loud noises, several figures shining with powerful mana fluctuations shot out from somewhere in the valley, and dazzling rays of light emanated from these people.
With every flash of light, a green flying snake was killed.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. He stopped his hand and stood aside.
These people who came were none other than the middle and high-level people from the Crystallization Stage clan, headed by the leader of the Sunset Tribe, and Han Xin was among them.
There are no less than three hundred flying snakes gathered in the sky at this moment. Although there are more people than these people, they are at most the forces in the late stage of condensation. The strength of the two sides is very different. Soon there are hundreds of cyan flying snakes. He was killed and shot down, and the entire valley was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
At this moment, a purple light rose into the sky from the tall stone platform in the center of the valley, and a huge purple barrier slowly opened up and quickly closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the entire valley with just a glance.
Upon seeing this, the remaining green flying snakes let out a horrified neighing sound, and one after another filed out of the gaps in the purple barrier, and fled into the distance.
"You evil beast, where are you running from?" Han Xin roared angrily, and with a movement of his body, he was about to chase him.
"Stop chasing!" The patriarch Han Ye's face was as heavy as water and he shouted loudly. Han Xin showed a trace of unwillingness on his face and stopped.
At this time, when the wolf-shaped monsters at the entrance of the valley saw the blue flying snakes retreating in the sky, they also stopped attacking and turned around to escape towards the Sky Rift Valley in the distance.
The chaos in the Sunset Valley gradually stabilized. Only some injured people were still screaming.
The clan leader Han Ye glanced around a few times, his face looking very ugly.
"Elder Luo, take a team of tribesmen to the valley entrance to guard against those monsters from attacking again." Han Ye ordered a middle-aged monster man behind him who seemed to be steady.
The middle-aged man agreed and quickly flew away with some people.
"Elder Lie, please take people to treat the injured." The red-faced patriarch ordered another middle-aged man in gray robe.
"Xin'er, find the person in charge of the tribe's security here. I want to ask him how he did it, so that the monsters easily invaded the tribe!" Chief Hanye said angrily.
Han Xin agreed and turned around to leave, flying towards the entrance of the valley.
Seeing that the clan leader was really angry, the other people of the Sunset Tribe fell silent and fell into silence.
"Okay, let's go get busy."
Han Ye's anger subsided a little, and he turned his eyes, glanced at Liu Ming and Liu Ming who were standing not far away, and gave instructions with a slightly moved expression.
The others breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed.
Han Ye moved, flew towards Liu Ming and the others, and landed in front of Liu Ming.
"Two fellow Taoists, the tribe was attacked by these monster beasts, which made you laugh. This time, I would like to thank fellow Taoist Liu Ming for helping to kill a few monster beasts." Chief Hanye glanced at the corpses of flying snakes around him.
After a few glances, he raised his hands and said.
"Whatever the patriarch said, it's just a matter of effort." Liu Mingze replied calmly.
At this moment, the people of the Sunset tribe who were hiding in the buildings also came out. Liu Ming had just rescued a young man from the Sunset tribe. Many people saw it, and the expressions they looked at Liu Ming became much gentler.
"Are those monster beasts that attacked just now the beast tide mentioned before?" Liu Ming asked.
"Of course not, these are just a small group of monsters before the beast tide comes. Unfortunately, it is too troublesome to activate the protective totem of our Sunset Department, and we were not able to launch defense in time, and these small groups of monsters sneaked into the tribe.
I'm really ashamed." Han Ye said somewhat sarcastically.
"Totem?" Liu Ming's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he looked at the high platform in the center of the tribe.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is from the Zhongtian Continent. He may not know what a totem is. I have heard before that there is something called a formation in your human race. It should be similar to the totem secrets of my wild continent." Chief Hanye looked at him with a look.
After being startled, he said immediately.
Liu Ming was surprised when he heard this.
Naturally, he was no stranger to totems, but he didn't know whether the "totem" the other party mentioned was the "totem" he knew.
"I wonder if Patriarch Han can take us to see your protective totem?" Gan Ruping, who was standing aside, said after blinking the flames.
Chief Hanye was stunned when he heard this, with a hesitant look on his face.
Among some ethnic groups in the Wild Continent, especially small ethnic groups like the Sunset Tribe, protective totems are very important inheritance and can be said to be the top priority of the tribe. It is related to the survival of the ethnic group, and even ordinary tribesmen are not allowed to approach it.
, let alone foreigners.
"Clan leader, don't be offended. Ruping is an array master in Zhongtian Continent. So he is more interested in some related things. If it is inconvenient, forget it." Seeing this, Liu Ming said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Qian is actually an formation master? That's really disrespectful. In our wild continent, totem masters are extremely rare. Since fellow Daoist Qian is interested, let's go and have a look together." Han Ye was stunned when he heard Liu Ming's words. , then looked at Qian Ruping with burning eyes, and said with great joy.
After saying that, Chief Hanye couldn't wait to take the two of them and fly towards the high platform in the center of the tribe.
Liu Ming was a little surprised by the attitude of Chief Hanye, and he immediately flew over with Gan Ruping with a smile.
Soon, the three of them landed near the high platform. Under the high platform was an old castle-like bluestone building.
The gate of the castle is closed, and there is a relief sculpture of an animal on it that looks like a tiger and a tiger. There is a faint flow of light.
Chief Hanye walked to the gate of the castle, turned over his hand and took out something the size of a fist, which seemed to be something like a token.
The whole body of this brand is gray-green, but its appearance is like an animal's head, with two white fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth, a protruding forehead, and two dots of red light flashing in the deep-set eye sockets.
Liu Ming glanced at the sign and then looked away.
Chief Hanye recited a strange spell, and a green light shot out from the sign in his hand, hitting the animal-shaped relief on the door.
The eyes of the relief flashed. Then there was a rumble and the door slowly opened.
"You two, please come in." Chief Hanye made an invitation gesture and walked in first.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and then he followed behind with Gan Ruping with a calm expression.
As soon as he entered the door, the light in front of him was quite dim, but he quickly adapted and took in everything inside.
Inside the gate is an unusually wide hall, as big as an acre, with an arched top, one to twenty feet high.
Except for an altar-like building, there is nothing else in the temple, and it looks quite empty.
Five purple pillars stood on the altar, covered with countless strange runes, emitting bursts of purple light.
The light emitted by the five pillars connected together to form a thick purple light pillar, which shot straight towards the dome of the castle.
At this moment, a grey-haired old demon man in black robes stood on the altar, holding a gray-white bone plate about a foot in size in his hand, and was muttering something to the five pillars.
The old man was so focused that he didn't notice Liu Ming and others coming in.
"It's really the totem pillar?" Liu Ming glanced at the old man, his eyes fell on the five pillars, and he murmured.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Liu has also studied the secret art of totems, but he actually knows about the totem pillars?" Chief Hanye said with some surprise.
"There are also many monster monks in the Southern Barbarian region of Zhongtian Continent. I have been there before and have seen some of the local totem secrets." Liu Ming explained slowly.
"That's it." Chief Hanye nodded after hearing this.
From the moment Qian Ruping entered the main hall, his eyes had been fixed on the five pillars on the altar, and his wonderful eyes were shining brightly.
The sound of the two talking to each other finally woke up the old man in black robe, and he turned around when he heard the sound.
When he saw the two unfamiliar faces of Liu Ming and Qian Ruping, the old man in black robe had a look of shock and anger on his face. However, when he saw Han Ye standing here, his anger subsided slightly.
"Clan leader." The old man in black robe nodded to Han Ye as a greeting. (To be continued.)
