The border of Daqi State, within the territory of Moucheng, Fuzhou.
Shi Mu was wearing a short black shirt, with a pair of silver and black swords on his back. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on a large branch that required two people to hug him.
It has been two or three years since he left the small fishing village, and his appearance has changed a little compared to before.
Although he still has thick eyebrows and big eyes, the tempering of the warrior has made his face more resolute, with clear facial features, and the skin color on his face is no longer as dark and red as before, but has a bronze color.
He has also grown a lot taller than before, with broad shoulders, a strong chest, and arms as if made of copper and cast iron. In addition to his original unruly feeling, his whole person has a bit more of a bohemian temperament.
At this moment, Shi Mu was barely breathing, and the dense tree crown completely covered his figure.
Seen from a distance, this sparse grove is empty, and the wind and sand blow by, making a rustling sound, faintly revealing a sense of desolation unique to the border.
As early as a year ago, Mou City fell to the barbarian invasion.
During his infiltration, Shi Mu witnessed countless desolate and tragic scenes, which could be described as a loss of life.
There are many villages that have been slaughtered by the barbarians, and countless fertile fields have been turned into pastures where barbarians ride horses.
Thousands of prime-age men became slaves like livestock. They were ordered around and drank by the barbarians. If they were not satisfied, they would be beaten with whips. The corpses of women could be seen everywhere, and the elderly and children could only end up dead in the streets.
The fate of...
All of this made Shi Mu's heart become more and more murderous.
After all, he is a member of the human race, and Daqi is the place where he was born!
Not far from this sparse forest, there is a military horse farm belonging to the Zhengyan tribe, one of the eight barbarian tribes. Shi Mu's current task is to ambush the patrolling horses outside the military horse farm.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The faint sound of horse hooves gradually moved towards the woods.
Shi Mu's ears twitched slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened. A faint golden light flashed in his eyes. Through the gaps in the leaves, a group of more than ten barbarian cavalry came into view clearly.
These cavalrymen have tall heads and big horses. Each of them is nearly ten feet tall. They carry bone spears on their backs and stone axes hanging on their waists. They are tall and strong. Even the horses sitting down are much taller and more powerful than ordinary ones.
It's no wonder that ordinary horses can carry such heavy bodies and weapons as the barbarians.
The leader was an unusually strong young barbarian. His right hand, which was thicker than Shi Mu's thigh, could easily carry a mace that was about ten feet long and seemed extremely heavy. A roaring tattoo was clearly tattooed on ****'s chest.
Blue lion.
Some information quickly flashed through Shi Mu's mind.
The general leaders of the barbarian patrols are all acquired totem warriors, and their strength is about the same as that of the acquired warriors of the human race.
He quietly moved his right hand and grasped the black meteorite knife behind him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong murderous intention gushed out.
The totem warrior who led the team looked very alert. This military horse farm was attacked by human masters a month ago, and the losses were quite heavy.
Just as they were walking slowly past a big tree, a sudden change occurred!
There was a "crash" sound!
The dense tree crown suddenly burst open. A large piece of cold light shone on the hood of the totem warrior who led the team. Thirteen black knife shadows were clearly visible in the cold light, vaguely coming from a young man in black robes.
It’s Shi Mu!
"Roar"
The young barbarian's eyes widened angrily, his thick arms swelled up, and thick green lion fur quickly grew. The mace in his hand drew an arc of light in mid-air, carrying a fierce wind, like an evil dragon coming out of its hole, towards the sky.
The black knife shadow greeted him.
There was a loud "boom" in mid-air.
Thirteen rays of black sword light suddenly dissipated, but the mace was also blocked.
Shi Mu's heart trembled.
He had always been very confident in his own strength. However, he did not expect that as soon as the two weapons came into contact, the opponent's power surged like a beast. His right hand felt a little sore and numb due to the violent tremors.
This young barbarian seems to possess mid-acquired strength!
Shi Mu's thoughts flashed through his mind. He took advantage of the momentum and turned somersaults in mid-air to resolve this huge force.
The mace below is rolled up.
In mid-air, Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and the magic power in his body poured into the meteorite black knife in his hand. When he raised it, an extremely thick red sword slashed down. It collided with the mace again.
A ball of dazzling fire exploded in mid-air!
The young barbarian felt a wave of scorching fire coming towards his face, his eyes were blazing red, his hands were in severe pain, and the mace almost came out of his hand.
Although the horse he was sitting on was strong and strong, it could not withstand Shi Mu's two condescending and powerful attacks. The four horse legs were immediately broken.
The young barbarian somersaulted and regained his balance, managing to hold the mace across his chest.
Shi Mu turned over and fell under the tree. His right arm was also numb and weak, but his left hand had already pinched a strange magic formula. After moving his lips slightly, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a small ball of white air shot out like an arrow.
.
It's so close, and the young barbarian can't look down, how can he get out of the way!
A "pop" sound!
The white energy passed directly over the mace and disappeared into his chest in a flash. With a "boom", the upper half of his body was immediately exploded into a rain of blood by the air explosion technique. A head full of arrogance rolled to the side.
.
All this seems very long, but in fact it only takes the blink of an eye1
When more than a dozen barbarian warriors saw their leader being killed instantly, they were shocked and aimed their bone spears at Shi Mu and threw them out.
There was a loud sneer!
More than a dozen bone spears roared towards them. Although Shi Mu dodged with all his strength, his right arm was still cut with a bloody gash the size of a palm.
Taking advantage of this moment, a dozen barbarian warriors pulled out the stone axes from their waists and surrounded Shi Muton, roaring loudly.
After Shi Mu sneered, the black meteorite knife in his hand moved like the wind, and a large black blade light bounced up, carrying a chilling feeling, and swept towards them.
Although these ordinary barbarian soldiers were as strong as cattle and fearless of death, they were no match for Shi Mu, an acquired warrior.
After a few breaths, more than a dozen barbarian soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and not a single body was intact.
Shi Mu's face turned pale, a black light flashed, and the iron black knife was inserted into the black scabbard behind his back.
Then he quickly walked to the mutilated body of the young barbarian totem warrior, knelt down and rummaged around, and quickly found a special silver-inlaid domino from his waist, with a few lines of text written on it in a weird earthworm-like font.
Shi Mu's face lit up and he put the dominoes in his arms.
After doing all this, he stopped staying, quickly turned around and got into the woods, heading northwest in a certain direction, and his figure quickly disappeared.
Half an hour later, another group of barbarian cavalry passed nearby. The number was much larger, with more than a hundred people.
The leader was a middle-aged barbarian who was much taller and wider than ordinary barbarians and looked like a brown bear. He had two huge stainless steel axes that were the size of ordinary human adults crossed behind him.
Seeing the tragic scene of hell under the woods, the faces of this group of barbarians changed drastically, and they all pulled out their weapons, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The middle-aged barbarian turned over and jumped off his horse. With a quick glance, he walked quickly to the body of the young totem warrior with only half of his body left. He frowned a few times and his face turned livid.
"Barbarian Lion Totem! Is this the Uro Warrior?" Another extremely tall barbarian came over, his eyes fell on the belly of the half-cut corpse on the ground, his expression gloomy.
"Not bad." The middle-aged barbarian spit out two words between his teeth.
Wuluo and the middle-aged barbarian were from the same tribe, and seemed to be somewhat related by blood. The tall barbarian was too sensible to say anything.
"The human race is too arrogant. They have assassinated our own warriors one after another under our noses. In the past few months, we have lost more than twenty people." The middle-aged barbarian said bitterly.
"It should be that the human race has ambushed an assassin stronghold near here, specifically to attack lone warriors. This matter needs to be reported to the commander immediately, and a large search of this area should be conducted." The tall barbarian was silent for a moment and said.
"If you and I jointly submit the application, the commander will definitely approve it. Uluo is the youngest totem warrior of our Black Fire Tribe. I will personally kill the murderer and use his head and blood as a sacrifice to Uluo!" said the middle-aged barbarian!
Here, the murderous look on his face is strong.
At this moment, the murderer he mentioned had already arrived dozens of miles away, near a forest shrouded in a sea of fog.
Shi Mu ran towards the entrance of the forest with flying steps, still with a vigilant look on his face, looking around from time to time.
It wasn't until he entered the woods and went deeper into the woods that his steps gradually slowed down.
He touched the domino in his arms and sighed in his heart.
A year ago, due to the sudden large-scale barbarian invasion of Qi State on an unprecedented scale, the seven major factions of the Three Kingdoms quickly formed an alliance to join forces to resist the barbarian invasion.
The barbarians did not seem to expect that the seven major factions would react so quickly. After occupying the three states on the western border of Daqi, the offensive was gradually resisted, and the war did not deepen further, nor did it spread to the Yan and Huang countries.
But even so, millions of people's homes were destroyed and turned into slaves, and the neighboring states and counties in the Three Kingdoms were also in trouble.
After discussion with the top leaders of the Black Demon Sect, they canceled the sect competition that year and instead arranged for all the disciples in the sect to take turns going out to the border of Daqi to fight against the barbarians. This was considered as experience. At the same time, the sect's mission was basically to fight against the barbarians.
.
Shi Mu, with his excellent ability to make talismans, was not sent out at first. He was just refining some low-level talismans in the door that consumed a lot of money.
But as the war intensified, the Black Demon Sect also began to be short of manpower.
Finally, half a year ago, he was also assigned by the sect and came to Fuzhou, one of the three states on the border of Daqi, at the forefront of the battlefield.
Shi Mu walked around in the forest with a familiarity, and soon came to a cliff at the edge of the forest, and stopped in front of a big tree with a person hugging each other.
He looked around and listened, and after confirming that it was safe, he took out a cyan prohibition token from his arms.
There are five or six red runes engraved on the front of the token, surrounded by a complex pattern.
Shi Mu held the token tightly in his right hand and muttered something in his mouth. With the injection of mana, the runes on the token lit up one by one, and a faint blue light flew out and disappeared into the big tree in front of him.
