"Want to kill the sacrificial spirit? You dare to think of it!" Beili Qing's face was dark, as the天才 Beifeng was crippled, and the clan's treasure was taken, which was a huge blow to Beicun Village.
"If it dares to come, we dare to kill it!" Shiyunfeng's face was stern, and he was truly angry.
The sky had long turned dark, and the mountain forest was cold and eerie, with a strong smell of blood in the air.
"Whoo..." In the wilderness, wild beasts howled, and a cold aura spread, making the hair on one's body stand on end, as if evil ghosts were wailing, which was quite terrifying.
"Bang"
Seeing the people from Beicun Village about to charge over, Xiaobudian kicked Beifeng, sending him flying in front of the people from Shicun Village.
"Although he is crippled, keeping him alive is a disaster. It's better to cut him down with one sword!" Beifeng's father said, very fierce, and without a word, he swung his large sword, and with a "pu" sound, he cut off Beifeng's head, blood spraying several feet high.
"Ah, Feng'er!" Beili Qing shouted, clutching his chest, coughing up a mouthful of blood. That was his own grandson, who was beheaded right in front of him.
"We had already let him go once before. The result today is entirely his own doing." Shilinhu said coldly.
Shifeijiao grabbed the bloody head and threw it over, saying, "Take it back and bury it."
"Hurry, the sacrificial spirit is about to descend!" Beili Qing's hair was disheveled, his face flushed red, then turned ashen, his expression terrifying, no longer as composed as before.
The people from Shicun Village gathered together, always on guard against the sacrificial spirit, fearing it would suddenly appear and start a massacre. The people from Beicun Village also retreated to one side, suffering great losses this time, and were now carefully guarding, waiting for the sacrificial spirit to arrive.
The trees were dense, and the forest was very dark, with animal roars echoing continuously, and the yin energy becoming heavier, but no powerful creatures rushed over.
The people from Shicun Village gathered around the Green-Scaled Eagle, protecting it in the center. The clan leader Shiyunfeng used all his means, applying various medicinal powders he had refined, and finally extracted some of the blood from the ancient relic's red, jade-like horn, making the fierce bird swallow it.
"Chi"
A cold arrow shot over, accurate and ruthless, aiming directly at the Green-Scaled Eagle's eyes, the cold light astonishing. This arrow could only be shot by a mighty person with at least 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of strength, which was terrifying. The people from Beicun Village were worried that the Green-Scaled Eagle would be healed, which would be a great disaster for them, so they were interfering and attacking.
"Dang"
Shilinhu swung his broadsword, striking the arrow shaft and sending it flying. With a "chi" sound, the iron arrow deeply embedded itself in a rock, sparks flying.
"Yiya!"
Xiaobudian frowned and rushed forward. Today, the people from Beicun Village had ambushed them, causing the Green-Scaled Eagle to be on the verge of death. He hated these people deeply. The silver moon swept across, transforming into a brilliant streak, sweeping over.
It was like a star river in the sky, or a white wave in the vast sea, humming loudly, shaking the entire mountain area!
"Pu," "Pu"...
On the opposite side, cries of pain came, and four or five people staggered back, blood spraying, their wounds terrifying. Another three or four people's arms fell off, their faces pale, in excruciating pain, their hair standing on end.
Xiaobudian moved swiftly, leaping like a small pixiu, stroking the string of crystal-clear, snow-white animal teeth on his wrist, runes flashing, and he let out a light shout.
"Xiu," "Xiu"...
The string of animal teeth glowed brightly, each tooth floating up with beautiful patterns, dazzling and brilliant, detaching from the string and flying forward.
It was a dazzling light rain, but its killing power was astonishing, leaving no time for reaction, the white animal teeth piercing through many people's bodies.
Bloody flowers bloomed, their bones breaking, their organs torn, the people from Beicun Village screamed in fear, unable to resist the attack of the treasure.
"What's going on? The sacrificial spirit, you should be here, why don't you appear? Come quickly and save your people!" Beili Qing shouted in alarm, greatly afraid. If this continued, the people from Beicun Village would all be killed here.
"Retreat!"
The treasure in Xiaobudian's hands was much stronger than when it was in Beifeng's hands. He understood bone script and could operate it, making the treasure's power incomparable.
The people from Beicun Village were in a panic, and even without the clan leader's order to retreat, they would not have stayed. They all fled for their lives, and the sacrificial spirit still did not appear.
"Xiaobudian, don't chase!" Clan leader Shiyunfeng was afraid something might happen to him.
"Ya, this string of animal teeth is really powerful." Shihao scratched his head in confusion, very surprised. The forty-two animal teeth flew back, transforming into a luminous bracelet, wrapping around his wrist.
"We should hurry and leave. The sacrificial spirit of Beicun Village is naturally suspicious and cunning. I said I would kill it, and perhaps it is very wary, so it did not appear." Shiyunfeng whispered.
The old clan leader was bluffing, and it seemed to have some effect, leaving the people from Shicun Village speechless.
About a hundred people moved, lifting the Green-Scaled Eagle, supporting the injured, and carrying the severely wounded, quickly fleeing. They were all grown men from the Great Wilderness, and as long as they had a breath left, they might be saved. This group was led by Shilinhu.
Another group was led by Shifeijiao, responsible for transporting and guarding the Suanni, the red treasure horn, and the demon ape's arm. They were all excited and tense, for these were true treasures.
The mountain was covered with shrubs and towering ancient trees, and although the group moved quickly, they still faced many obstacles.
"Whoo..." Low howls echoed, rising and falling, surrounding them on all sides.
They were getting closer to Shicun Village, almost in sight, but in the dark forest, pairs of green eyes appeared, like ghostly flames.
"Heaven, such big wolves!"
The people from Shicun Village were terrified. They were surrounded by a group of giant wolves, each as big as a house, with blood-red mouths and fangs half a foot long, white and terrifying, paired with red tongues, making them look extremely fierce.
It wasn't just one or two, but about forty or fifty, a group of ferocious giants surrounding them, far more threatening than the people from Beicun Village.
"Damn it, the sacrificial spirit of Beicun Village is indeed naturally suspicious and cunning. It has gathered such a group of mutated giant wolves!"
These wolves were each as big as elephants, and it was rare to see even one during hunting. This time, forty or fifty appeared at once, which was a disaster.
In the dark forest, those pairs of green eyes were as big as small bowls, cold and sinister, with a strong aura of evil. They had killed countless fierce beasts.
"Ao..." A wolf howl, like a thunderclap, and cold, a huge figure pounced, and a cry of pain came from the rear of the Shicun Village group.
A villager was bleeding from half his body, his arm and shoulder torn off by a giant wolf's claw, suffering a terrible injury.
"Pu"
At a critical moment, Shilinhu threw an iron spear, piercing the giant wolf's fur, blood flowing, wounding it, and stopping the slaughter, saving the villager from being torn apart.
Giant wolves as big as elephants were terrifying. If there were just a few, they could be dealt with, but with forty or fifty, over a hundred people could not hold them off.
"Ao..."
The giant wolf howled, leaves falling from the trees, and a fierce aura surged.
"Ah..."
Two more cries of pain came from different directions, as several giant wolves attacked simultaneously. Their sharp claws could fell a tree with a single swipe. Despite strict defenses, two villagers were gutted, their intestines spilling out.
"Quick, bandage them!" Shifeijiao shouted.
The forest was dark, and even though these giant wolves were fierce and powerful, they had the absolute advantage but did not attack head-on, instead ambushing.
This time, about a dozen giant wolves acted simultaneously, pouncing from the shadows.
"Chi"
Xiaobudian moved, raising his wrist, runes intertwining, forming shapes in front of him. The forty-two luminous animal teeth emitted a bright light, transforming into daggers, light arrows, and flying forward.
"Pu," "Pu"...
The leading giant wolves were blinded, their foreheads pierced, blood flowing, and they screamed, rolling on the ground.
Even such massive creatures could not withstand the treasure. If hit, they were either severely injured or killed.
"You evil wolves, retreat quickly!" Xiaobudian shouted.
He summoned two silver moons, leaping forward, and with two "pu" sounds, he split two particularly strong giant wolves from their foreheads to their legs, cutting them in half, blood gushing out.
The remaining giant wolves became cautious, not daring to attack recklessly.
"If it doesn't work, use one of the ancestral treasures, keep one for a critical moment to kill the sacrificial spirit, don't let it know and prepare!" Shiyunfeng whispered.
The wilderness was filled with pairs of green eyes, giant wolves surrounding them, white breaths puffing from their noses, blood-red mouths with sharp fangs, and a fierce aura that made one's body cold.
"You are all dead, today is the day your clan will be destroyed!" Beili Qing appeared again, his face cold, his eyes like venomous snakes, riding a silver-white giant wolf.
The people from Beicun Village came again, many young and strong men climbing onto the backs of the giant wolves, each holding a bow and arrow, eyes cold with hatred, staring at this side.
The people from Shicun Village drew a cold breath. With the giant wolves, the strength of the people from Beicun Village was terrifying, far beyond what a village should have.
"Our clan's sacrificial spirit has come, none of you will live!" The leader of the hunting team from Beicun Village, Beishan, shouted.
"It's just an old wolf, living so long that its teeth have fallen out, probably can't even walk, what use is it?" Shiyunfeng sneered, deliberately belittling.
The sacrificial spirit of the people from Beicun Village was a wolf, the origin of their surname.
Dozens of giant wolves roared, howling, making the place even more sinister, ready to pounce at any moment.
"You will all die!" Beili Qing said coldly.
"Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules of the Great Wilderness and being attacked by all the villages and tribes?" Shiyunfeng said coldly.
"Killing you and taking your women and children, we will say the two villages have merged. If our sacrificial spirit breaks through, who will dare to say anything more?" The leader of the hunting team from Beicun Village, Beishan, sneered.
About forty or fifty giant wolves attacked, pouncing from time to time, while the people from Shicun Village defended, and Xiaobudian was responsible for attacking. After several attacks, he killed eight giant wolves, their massive bodies lying there, the forest filled with the smell of blood.
For a whole hour, the sacrificial spirit of Beicun Village did not appear, only the giant wolves attacking, and Beishan and others shooting arrows.
More people from Shicun Village were injured, their bodies torn open by the giant wolves' paws.
"Indeed, the nature of wolves is suspicious. We can't wait any longer, use the ancestral treasure, break through!" Shiyunfeng ordered.
Time was not on their side. The cunning wolf was probably plotting something, and it was better to return to Shicun Village as soon as possible, where the old willow tree could protect them.
"Clan leader, if the ancestral treasure is exposed, won't it cause big trouble?" Shifeijiao asked.
"First, we need to save our lives. Afterward, we will find a way to kill all those who know about it. Since they are not righteous, forcing us to this point, don't blame us for being unrighteous!" Shiyunfeng said coldly, showing a terrifying expression for the first time.
They lifted the Green-Scaled Eagle, carefully protecting it in the center. This would be a great force for their future revenge, possibly able to resist the sacrificial spirit of the other side.
The group quickly broke through, and Shilinhu took out an arm bone, about to summon the ancestral treasure, which possessed incomparable power.
Suddenly, before he could act, the distant forest sounded like a mountain flood, animal roars deafening, rushing towards them.
"Beast tide, damn it, that old wolf has gathered a group of giants from the mountains to attack here, truly ruthless and cunning!" Shiyunfeng's face changed.
Shilinhu also shouted, "Damn the old wolf, so ruthless, using a beast tide to trample us to death, everyone be careful!"
Not only their side, but even the people from Beicun Village changed their expressions. The sacrificial spirit was so vicious that even they would suffer a terrible impact, and not everyone had climbed onto the backs of the wolves; half of them were still on the ground.
"Quick, get on the wolves' backs!" Beili Qing shouted.
However, it was too late. The rumbling sound was close, and even the giant wolves were uneasy, jumping up and quickly dodging.
"Ao..."
A howl came, like a mountain ghost crying, indescribably terrifying. Above the beast tide, a strange creature flapped its wings and flew over.
It was only about two meters long, with shiny yellow-brown fur, but looked very old, with wrinkles on its wolf face. This was a rare wolf, hard to find even among countless wolves.
Its front legs were very short, almost unable to walk on its own, usually lying on the back of a giant wolf. Fortunately, it had strong blood, growing a pair of wings, allowing it to fly.
Clearly, this old wolf was terrifying, with primitive runes faintly flashing on its body, a very powerful and fierce beast!
