"Dong dong dong dong!" After marching in the jungle for nearly an hour, suddenly, waves of rhythmic drumming came from the front. Along with the drumming, there was also a vague and ethereal singing voice.
"Hush!" Hearing the sound of the drum, Zhang Yaoer, who was walking in front, immediately raised a hand and placed his fingers directly on his red lips, making a silencing gesture.
At this moment, everyone had already fully entered their roles and followed Zhang Yao'er's command. Even Jiang Zhou was no exception. Upon seeing Zhang Yao'er's instructions, Jiang Zhou and others immediately squatted down and quietly walked to Zhang Yao'er's left and right, closing their mouths tightly.
, no one dared to speak out.
Glancing forward from a distance, Jiang Zhou could only vaguely see the longing figures in the woods ahead. There seemed to be quite a few people. He frowned and turned to look at Zhang Yao'er beside him. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full.
Full of questions.
Zhang Yao'er just happened to turn her head around, and her beautiful eyes met Jiang Zhou's. Only then did she realize that the two of them were so close. Zhang Yao'er's pretty face couldn't help but blush, adding a bit of beauty to it, making Jiang Zhou do the same.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing Jiang Zhou looking straight at her, Zhang Yaoer became even more embarrassed. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhou and then lowered her voice and said, "There is a barbarian tribe in front of us!"
"Barbarians?" Hearing Zhang Yao'er's words, Jiang Zhou was startled again. Didn't he say that he was here to get rid of demons before? Why is he related to barbarians again? When Jiang Zhou and Zhang Yao'er were on their way, Zhang Yao'er just said it briefly.
The details of the purpose of the visit were not clearly stated, and now that they were stated in such unclear terms, Jiang Zhou was becoming more and more confused.
"Woo——!" Zhang Yao'er originally wanted to continue to explain clearly to Jiang Zhou, but just when Zhang Yao'er's red lips were slightly opened, a low sound suddenly sounded from the front again, causing Zhang Yao'er and others to turn their attention to the front.
.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yaoer quickly waved her hand, signaling for everyone to continue forward together, but this movement was more cautious, trying not to make any noise.
After walking forward for more than a hundred steps, Jiang Zhou finally saw the situation in front of him clearly. About five or six hundred steps in front of Jiang Zhou, he saw that there was an empty open space. In the center of the open space, there was a wooden platform.
An altar built with huge rocks was surrounded by barbarian tribesmen wearing furs.
This was not the first time that Jiang Zhou, who had grown up in southern Xinjiang since childhood, had seen barbarians. When he was in Jiangcheng before, Jiang Zhou had also seen some barbarians who came to Jiangcheng to do business with the Han people. But in Jiang Zhou's impression,
Except for their strange clothes and strange speech accents, the barbarians are no different from the Han people.
But the group of barbarians in front of him made Jiang Zhou have a great change. He saw that each of these barbarians was wearing half-clothes and fur, and their faces and bodies were painted with various colorful paints.
Weird. That's all. What Jiang Zhou couldn't accept the most was that in front of the altar, dozens of strong barbarians were holding broadswords and chopping up the corpses of animals that could no longer be seen. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere.
, it looks too bloody and violent!
Although Jiang Zhou doesn't know how many lives he has on hand now, such a bloody and violent scene is still unacceptable to Jiang Zhou. Especially when he sees that in addition to the few strong barbarian men carrying swords, there are also
Several barbarian men and women knelt down beside the bloody corpses. From time to time, they picked up the raw meat that fell on the ground, picked up the raw blood, and stuffed it into their mouths!
Seeing this scene, even Zhang Yaoer and others around Jiang Zhou were extremely ugly. Wang Qing couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "These uncivilized barbarians! How disgusting!"
"Shh!" Zhang Yao'er made another silent gesture, and at the same time frowned and glanced at Wang Qing. Seeing Zhang Yao'er looking a little angry, Wang Qing quickly covered his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.
After stopping Wang Qing, Zhang Yaoer looked forward again, frowning slightly. After a moment, she lowered her voice and said to everyone: "It seems that these barbarians are just performing sacrifices. I'm afraid the monster hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait a little longer."
Wait! Wait until the monster comes, and then we take action!"
Everyone present, except for Jiang Zhou, who is at the fifth level of Immortal, the Li brothers are all at the second level of Immortal Lord, while Wang Qing, Yuan Buqi and Zheng Yingluo are all at the fifth level of Immortal Lord. In comparison,
Next, Zhang Yaoer is a real second-level Immortal Sect! Before that, she was already the leader of this temporary team. When she spoke, everyone naturally had no objection.
Jiang Zhou still didn't understand what Zhang Yao'er's plan was, but now that Zhang Yao'er had spoken and everyone agreed, Jiang Zhou naturally wouldn't be the first to take the lead, and just sat down on the ground with everyone, just like that quietly.
Waiting for what is about to happen.
After waiting for two or three hours, it was already dark. The barbarians in front were still killing the animal carcasses that were being brought up in a steady stream, and hundreds of people were surrounding them.
He kept kowtowing to the empty altar, shouting something in his mouth. There were more than ten strong men beating leather drums, blowing horns, and playing weird tones, which made the already more and more
The darker the forest, the more eerie it becomes.
"Here we come!" Zhang Yao'er shouted in a low voice, which made Jiang Zhou and others who were almost drowsy on the left and right couldn't help but tremble. Jiang Zhou immediately turned over and raised his head to look forward.
I saw that the barbarians in front were still the same as before, and the entire altar had already been dyed blood red with blood and meat sauce. At this moment, Jiang Zhou suddenly felt a pressure on his heart, as if an invisible
The mountains were pressing down on his shoulders, making Jiang Zhou feel like he couldn't breathe!
Is this spiritual pressure? Jiang Zhou's heart tightened. This was obviously the arrival of a being stronger than himself, and the feeling of spiritual oppression. When he was in the small town that day, Zhang Yaoer's Immortal Sect-level spiritual pressure also gave Jiang Zhou a feeling of oppression.
I had the same feeling, but this time it was even stronger than the spiritual pressure brought by Zhang Yaoer that time!
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but turn pale with shock. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at his companions on the left and right. However, he saw that Zhang Yaoer and others also had solemn expressions on their faces. Apparently they also felt the powerful presence! Wang Qing and others also
Their faces were all pale, with drops of cold sweat oozing from their foreheads. However, Zhang Yao'er's face looked a little better. She pursed her lips and shouted in a low voice: "The monster is coming! Everyone is ready!"
As soon as Zhang Yaoer finished speaking, Wang Qing and others nodded at the same time. At the next moment, these people's figures disappeared from Jiang Zhou's eyes out of thin air, but Jiang Zhou was shocked.
"Brother Jiang, just stay behind me! Be careful, don't make a sound!" Zhang Yaoer glanced at Jiang Zhou and directly made an arrangement for Jiang Zhou. She had plans with Wang Qing and others before, but she didn't make any arrangements.
Jiang Zhou arranged it, and now he can only temporarily let Jiang Zhou hide behind him.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He also knew that with his own strength, he was the weakest among everyone, so he couldn't help at all. Fortunately, Jiang Zhou didn't have much masculinity and was very sensible.
He walked behind Zhang Yao'er and quietly watched the actions of Zhang Yao'er and others.
"Roar——!" A moment later, a roar was heard, suddenly rang in front, and then, a colorful thick fog appeared on the altar, which instantly completely covered the blood-red altar.
Got it!
"What is this?" Seeing this sudden change, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but widen his eyes. If he hadn't still remembered Zhang Yao'er's previous instructions and covered his mouth desperately, he might have shouted out at this time.
Seeing the thick fog, Zhang Yao'er also pulled out the golden sword in advance and held it tightly in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were staring at the thick fog, as if she was waiting for something.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Seeing the appearance of the thick fog, the barbarians around the altar shouted loudly one by one, dropped what they were holding, shouted towards the thick fog, bowed their heads and knelt down, but
They were shouting something, but Jiang Zhou couldn't understand a word.
But even so, Jiang Zhou also knew that this must be the appearance of the monster Zhang Yao'er mentioned earlier! But he didn't know what the monster was. Seeing Zhang Yao'er becoming so nervous, Jiang Zhou also became more and more uneasy.
, subconsciously summoned both the Qingfeng Sword and the Broken Army Shield.
Seeing that Jiang Zhou also showed his magical weapon, Zhang Yaoer turned around and took a look, then reached out and gently pressed Jiang Zhou's shoulder, and then shook his head, with the obvious intention of telling Jiang Zhou not to act rashly.
Of course, Jiang Zhou also understood what Zhang Yaoer meant. With his strength, he was probably no match for the monster that had not yet appeared, and his actions would only be a disservice. However, Jiang Zhou had no intention of taking back the magic weapon.
Zhang Yaoer nodded and said that she would not act randomly.
Seeing this, Zhang Yaoer turned her head and continued to watch the changes in the situation ahead. At this time, the thick fog began to slowly dissipate, and soon, a figure was revealed on the altar.
When Jiang Zhou saw it, he couldn't help but be startled. Originally, he thought that the monster should be five big and three thick, or a monster with various shapes, but seeing that the figure was slim and graceful, it clearly looked like a young woman! When the thick fog completely dissipated,
, Jiang Zhou finally saw clearly the true face of the monster. It was actually a young woman who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was no worse than Zhang Yaoer!
I saw this young woman wearing a red and green dress, with long black hair hanging down. She has delicate features and is not stained by smoke. Her appearance is really no worse than Zhang Yao'er. The only thing that is different from Zhang Yao'er is that this woman's eyes are fine.
She is long, has a high nose bridge, and between her eyebrows, there is a gorgeous and charming look, which is very attractive.
