Chapter 10 The Art of Sacrifice

"A dozen towns such as Liancheng, Sanpingcheng, Qicheng and Hanshui Town have become a deadland, and the soldiers stationed there have all become zombie-like monsters."

"Zombie? Are those soldiers all dead?

"I'm not dead! Those soldiers lost their minds like zombies, but they were still alive.

"Is this disaster from Canshan?"

"My subordinates did not enter the remnant mountain, but judging from the resentment emanating from the remnants, this disaster is likely to be caused by the people hidden in the remnant mountain."

While Xiao Yu frowned and meditated, Xia Yu continued to say, "There are about 38,000 zombie-like monsters coming this way. It is estimated that they will come to Xifeng Pass in a day and a half."

"There should be 170,000 people in the remnants of Fu Mingshan. What about the other soldiers besides these soldiers coming towards the Xifeng Pass?"

"I only saw less than 90,000 soldiers who turned into monsters. Except for 38,000 soldiers who came towards the Xifeng Pass, all the others rushed to Niuyin Valley."

Xiao Yu frowned and pondered for a while, and ordered Liu Qingshan, who was standing beside him, "Qingshan, go to Elder Tang and ask him to help you transfer all the people who have not been infected with the plague in the Xifeng Pass."

"Yes!"

After Liu Qingshan was ordered to leave, Xiao Yu jumped down the city wall and ran towards the west.

Those people in the city thought that Xiao Yu was going to find a way to relieve the plague for them. Looking at Xiao Yu's distant back, the hope on their faces was stronger.

Everyone has a fluke. Before the disaster really comes, the people of Xifeng Pass are not willing to leave Xifeng Pass.

In desperation, Liu Qingshan had to order the defenders to drive the people away from Xifeng Pass.

The situation outside the Xifeng Pass has not improved at all, and the Xifeng Pass has become chaotic again.

Since the emergence of the plague, Liu Qingshan has felt that he is very incompetent and has no ability to do anything that Xiao Yu has explained.

When Liu Qingshan felt that the pressure on his body had doubled, Xiao Yu saw the zombie-like soldiers in Xia Yu's mouth.

As Xiao Yu described, these soldiers lost their minds like zombies at a glance, but they did not lose their vitality like zombies.

These soldiers have no corpses on their bodies, and they don't move slowly like zombies. Except for the strange blood in their eyes, these soldiers are no different from ordinary people.

Including the leading generals, all the heads, these people's eyes are full of blood, and they all seem to have lost their sane.

After observing for a while from afar, Xiao Yu moved and came to the front of this team.

If these soldiers had sane, they should stop the team when they saw Xiao Yu from the sky. However, when Xiao Yu appeared in front of these soldiers with the weather, the soldiers seemed to see something delicious and accelerated their pace.

Xiao Yu frowned gently and shot the Jinyang divine bow at the armored general who rushed to the front.

Without any dodge, the general let the spiritual arrow shot by Xiao Yu shoot through his chest.

Although a big hole was shot in the chest by Xiao Yu's spiritual arrow, the general immediately got up from the ground after falling down.

Even if Xiao Yu had seen a lot of big scenes, when he saw a man with a big blood hole in his chest rushing towards him, he still had a creepy feeling.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Xiao Yu frowned and bent his bow and shot at the general's head.

Bum!

With a muffled sound, the general did not stand up again after falling again.

Just when Xiao Yu was secretly relieved, he was surprised to find that the body of the general who was completely killed by him turned into a blood mist and was absorbed by more than a dozen soldiers around him.

After absorbing some blood fog, the blood light in the eyes of the dozen soldiers was even better, and the momentum on their bodies became stronger.

Seeing such a strange situation, Xiao Yu did not dare to take action again.

After frowning and meditating for a while, Xiao Yu used her body to retreat.

It takes more than 230 miles to walk from the position of these zombie soldiers to the Xifeng Pass. On the road of more than 230 miles, there are seven long valleys.

On the way back to Xifeng Pass, Xiao Yu shot down the mountain stone with a divine bow and set up twenty-one obstacles in the seven valleys.

These twenty obstacles certainly can't stop these soldiers who have become monsters, but they can buy Xiao Yu a little time to solve the plague.

When Xiao Yu returned to the Xifeng Pass, all the people in the Xifeng Pass had been driven away, and there were only 3,000 defenders in the Pass at this time.

Seeing that Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun had not found a solution to the plague, Xiao Yu told Xia Yu about the strange things he had encountered before.

"This kind of evil art may come from the witch sect!"

"Wumen?"

"As far as I know, there is a sacrificial art in the witch, which can improve the strength of your companions by sacrificing your own lives."

"Is there a solution to this art of sacrifice?"

"The art of sacrifice is also a forbidden skill in the witch. Outsiders can't come into contact with such a strange evil art at all. My subordinates have only heard of this kind of sacrificial art."

Xiao Yu frowned and meditated for a while. She looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Do you know how powerful this sacrificial art is?"

"If the legend is true, the strength of the 81 warriors under the demon master Chi You is improved by the art of sacrifice."

It is said that in the battle against deer in ancient times, if Emperor Xuanyuan had not been helped by immortals, his army would not have been defeated by the eighty-one warriors under Chi You.

Some ancient rumors are imaginary, but some ancient rumors are true.

Chiyou was the master of the witch sect in ancient times. If the sacrificial art of the witch sect can really improve people's strength in a short time, he is likely to have used this sacrificial art.

When Xiao Yu recalled various legends about Chiyou, Xia Yu suddenly turned into a blood light and disappeared in front of him.

As soon as Xia Yu left, the door was pushed open.

Seeing Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun coming in with a happy face, Xiao Yu's heart moved and quickly asked, "Have you found a solution to the plague?"

"I found it!"

Tang Yuansong replied excitedly, and then said with a little embarrassment, "The solution to the plague has been found, but the plague is very difficult to solve."

"But what special elixirs are needed to find?"

Tang Qingyun and Tang Yuansong looked at each other and whispered, "The blood poison that caused this plague can only be solved by poison, but the poison that can restrain blood poison is not easy to get. This kind of poison itself needs to contain extremely strong spirituality. Its own toxicity cannot be too strong nor too weak. The poison that meets this requirement cannot be configured and can only be taken from the body of the spirit beast.

"Puring poison from the spirit beast?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning.

Yunshan County is full of poisonous insects. It is not difficult to find some poisonous spirit beasts. The difficult thing is how to deal with those spirit beasts.

The toxicity of the poisonous insect is strange, and it accidentally comes into contact with irresistible poison. Even if the strength of this poisonous insect itself is not high, it is enough to kill a master of immortality in an instant.

"What kind of spirit beast poison is the most suitable for this plague?"

"The general is going to find poison for those people?"

Xiao Yu frowned gently and looked at Tang Yuansong and said in a low voice, "If there is nothing I can do, I can only watch them die slowly; now that there is a way to relieve the plague, I should try my best to help them."

Tang Qingyun nodded and answered, "The stronger the strength of the spirit beast, the stronger the spirituality contained in the venom on its body, and the stronger the restraint against that blood poison."

"The stronger the spirit beast, the better?"

Xiao Yu frowned and meditated for a while and muttered, "I once saw a poisonous insect that was not weak in the stream, and I didn't know if the poison bug was still there."

"If the general wants to go to Xishan to find the poison worm, he still needs to go back to Guanjia Town to bring the poison tripod that Qingyun usually refines poison."

When Xiao Yu heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She looked at Tang Qingyun and asked, "Do you need a special method to take the poison of the spirit beast?"

"If you take poison after killing the spirit beast, the aura in the poison will dissipate. If you want to get the poison that can restrain the blood poison, you can only lead the spirit beast to slowly spit out the poison when the spirit beast is not dead. The poison spit out by the spirit beast must be refined before it can be preserved. The poison tripod is also indispensable when taking poison.

Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a while, moved his mind, and took out the elixir stove he got at the Huai Temple.

"Can this elixir can be used to refine poison?"

"Of course!"

Seeing the excitement on Tang Qingyun's face, Xiao Yu knew that the quality of this elixir furnace was much better than the poison tripod that Tang Qingyun used before.

"Like poison refining and alchemy, they need special aura to nourish their spirituality. The elixir in this elixir furnace is strong, and the poison refined with it must also contain very strong spirituality."

"As long as Miss Tang can refine the right poison to relieve the plague, this elixir furnace will be regarded as a thank-you gift from Xiao."

"Real?"

"Does Xiao look like the kind of person who eats his word and is fat?"

Tang Qingyun looked at the elixir furnace carefully again, looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Shall we go to Xishan now?"

"If you have nothing to prepare, let's go now."

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Tang Yuansong answered, "General, Yuan Song needs to collect some medicinal materials to poison, so I won't go to Xishan with you."

"Do you need any other medicinal herbs?"

"To detoxify with poison attack, and eventually some residual poison will be accumulated in the body. If you want to get rid of those residual poisons, you need some poisonous grass with shallow toxicity to repel the poison.

Xiao Yu nodded and muttered, "I'll let Qingshan listen to your orders. If you need manpower and whatever you need, just ask him for it."

"Yes!"

After ordering Liu Qingshan, Xiao Yu took Tang Qingyun to the north.

Xishan is a branch of Lianyun Mountain, located in the northwest of Lianyun Mountain, nearly 460 miles away from Xifeng Pass.

With Tang Qingyun, it took Xiao Yu nearly a day to come to Xishan.

Stop and let Tang Qingyun rest for a while. Xiao Yu took Tang Qingyun to the entrance of the cave where he got the fire cow tendon.
