Chapter 26 The girl is praying
Several days later, another disturbance arose in the mountains.
Within a radius of 50,000 li, all the major clans were shaken, learning that their clansmen had inexplicably suffered a crushing defeat in the vast mountains, retreating in disgrace.
A strange mountain village, a girl of unknown origin, an extremely powerful treasure, and the suspected possession of the Suanni treasure bone, as well as a mysterious sacrificial spirit.
The addition of the mountain treasures in the Great Wilderness immediately captured the hearts of many.
The powerful figures of all races could no longer sit still and left their tribes to come to this land.
Meanwhile, a beast tide erupted deep within the Great Wilderness. The ground trembled, and hordes of giant beasts galloped wildly, flattening the mountains and surviving from the depths of the mountains, crowding together in one place.
"My goodness! What happened? How can there be so many ferocious beasts?"
A group of experts from various ethnic groups, who were searching for mountain treasures, ran into a beast tide that was like a flash flood. They were immediately shocked and trembled with fear, not daring to stay for even a moment.
The beast tide was astonishing, destroying vast swathes of forest and converging into a torrent that surged outwards from the mountains, causing a tremendous uproar.
Not only were the villages in the mountains tense, but even experts from afar could not remain calm, believing that something must have happened deep within the mountains to cause all the beasts to flee.
Looking into the distance, the sky above the mountains was filled with dark shadows, as countless ferocious birds spread their wings and fled the mountains.
The master of Luofu Great Swamp, the chieftain of the Golden Wolf Tribe, Lei Hou, and Zishan Hou all arrived in person, and they all showed surprise when they saw the Demon Ape King driving away the ferocious beasts.
They were also quite self-aware, believing that the treasures of the mountain were being fought over by the kings among the ancient remnants, and that it would be difficult for them to intervene. But since they had already come all this way, they couldn't just leave empty-handed, could they?
All four clans gathered at Stone Village and looked down at this unremarkable little mountain village. Only the clan leaders noticed something amiss and ordered their clansmen not to make any rash moves.
In the tranquil Shicun village, at the end of the village, Shi Zhao was boiling animal milk in a courtyard, adding auxiliary materials into a large earthenware pot, and silently forcing out a drop of his own blood to join it.
Xiao Shi also squatted down to the side, his big eyes blinking, looking expectant and very well-behaved.
"It smells so good! The beast milk my sister makes is even better than what Grandpa Chief makes!"
On the fire, the animal milk in the earthenware pot gradually boiled. He twitched his little nose, half-closed his big eyes, and looked completely intoxicated, his adorable appearance endearing.
"If Grandpa in the clan heard you say that, he would be very upset," Shi Zhao said with a smile.
Little Stone blinked and chuckled, "That's why I only whisper secrets to my sister~"
Suddenly, birds in the surrounding mountains and forests took flight. The little guy was very clever and quickly realized that someone or a ferocious beast had surrounded the village.
"Don't worry, Goddess Liu will take care of it," Shi Zhao reassured him.
"Eh, Willow Goddess?" Xiao Shi tilted his head. He had never seen Willow Goddess in action before and had no idea what she meant. "Is Willow Goddess even more powerful than my sister?"
"Of course, Liu Shen is much more powerful than my sister now... well, she will be extremely powerful for a long time to come, so we just need to believe in her," Shi Zhao said.
Xiao Shi blinked his big eyes, looking thoughtful.
When the siblings arrived at the village entrance, the villagers were also on high alert and immediately noticed something was amiss, so they all gathered together with their weapons.
Shi Zhao spoke words of comfort and led people to perform a sacrifice for the Willow God.
The girl is praying...
The leaders of the four tribes had all arrived in the surrounding mountains, each occupying a territory and overlooking Stone Village.
In the west, on the banks of a great river, the master of the Luofu Great Swamp took the lead, activating his blood essence and using the water vapor to transform into a huge, ferocious dragon, over two hundred feet long.
"Awooo!"
The gray, ferocious dragon roared, its massive body covering the sky, and gray mist surged as it swooped down towards Stone Village, spewing out a large burst of light that shattered the rocks below.
"What a powerful magic technique!"
"Wait a minute, that village is unharmed?"
In the distance, everyone was initially shocked by the magical technique, but then they realized something was wrong.
At the village entrance, a luminous green branch glowed on a charred willow tree, emitting a hazy halo that enveloped the entire village, easily blocking the ferocious dragon's attack.
Then, the willow branches spread rapidly, soaring towards the sky, intending to pierce through the ferocious dragon.
At the same time, from the due north direction, a burst of intense black lightning appeared. Lei Hou, the lord of the Lei Clan, made his move, using his most powerful magic technique to intercept the tender willow branch.
In the south, a wolf howl rang out, and the Golden Wolf tribe's spirit priest and chieftain launched their attack simultaneously.
In the east, a hazy purple aura spread across the sky, transforming into a giant purple cloud that stomped down towards the village entrance. It was the Purple Mountain Marquis, the number one expert within a radius of 50,000 li, making his move.
"The Willow Goddess!" the villagers exclaimed.
Liu Mu was attacked from all sides at the same time, and his situation seemed critical, but Shi Zhao remained calm and even wanted to laugh.
As expected, the single, seemingly delicate willow branch struck down enemies from all directions, first piercing the dragon's forehead, then extending outwards to cleave the master of the Luofu Great Swamp in two, instantly draining his life force.
Then they took Lei Hou away and used him as a power bank, letting him unleash his lightning magic, which was continuously absorbed until he was completely drained.
The spirit of the Golden Wolf tribe, an old wolf, was cunning. It used a shed pelt as a disguise to try to dig up the roots, but its claws broke off and it was buried in the ground by a tree root, turning into fertilizer on the spot.
The Purple Cloud Giant that Purple Mountain Marquis transformed into was also entangled by willow branches and hung up and whipped by Lei Hou. The chieftain of the Golden Wolf Tribe turned to run away, but he could not escape at all. Even if he used the so-called ancestral artifact, it was useless. He died and his life was extinguished.
In the end, only the Purple Mountain Marquis, who was known as the strongest person within a radius of 50,000 li, and the Old Wolf, who was known as the number one spirit priest within a radius of 50,000 li, escaped at the same time.
"Willow Goddess, they're taking advantage of the fact that you only have one willow branch left." Shi Zhaoming's bright eyes darted around as he offered a suggestion: "As the saying goes, 'One should press on with the enemy until they're defeated,' let's use my treasure to shoot them down and eliminate any future trouble!"
She took out her Great Roc Bow and two Roc Feather Arrows.
The Willow Goddess remained silent, but simply wrapped her willow branches around the girl's waist. Shi Zhao immediately felt an incredibly powerful force surge into his body, and his eyes lit up.
She didn't have time to carefully analyze the situation. She seized the remaining energy of the two men, drew her bow to its fullest extent, and shot the arrows like shooting stars in two different directions.
The bow and arrow, combined, were a treasure comparable to a Venerable-level weapon. At this moment, they finally revealed their true terrifying power. The two arrows shot out and transformed into two golden-winged roc birds in mid-air.
The Golden Roc soared into the sky with astonishing speed. Even though the man and the wolf had already rushed towards the primeval mountains, they were still caught up by two golden beams and brutally killed in the mountains and marshes.
The onlookers in the distance were all terrified and felt extremely frightened. Most of them wished they could run away immediately and did not want to stay there for even a moment longer.
However, some people became blinded by rage and lost their reason, determined to seek revenge.
The Willow God showed no intention of attacking. After adding some fertilizer to itself, it calmed down, but continued to radiate a glow that enveloped the village.
"Oh no! Those people haven't left yet. Are they trying to surround us and kill us?" Xiao Shi waved his little hands, very indignant.
"As the saying goes, since we're here, let's make the best of it. Since we're here, let's bury him here." Shi Zhao felt the power within him gradually fading, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed out.
She wielded a large, purple-gold hammer, her body wreathed in dazzling lightning. With a mighty swing, thunder and lightning surged forth, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking.
A mountain was smashed to pieces, and those who refused to leave, vowing to avenge their clan leader, fell in droves, their blood splattering everywhere.
Subsequently, the same happened in Luofu Marsh, the Golden Wolf Tribe, and other places. Many stubborn elements were killed. Wherever the hammer passed, it maimed those who grazed it and killed those who touched it, leaving behind a large spray of blood.
These people were filled with extreme fear and regret before they died. They never expected that an incredibly ruthless young girl would emerge and kill without blinking an eye. She was too cold-blooded and bloody.
"You, you vixen..."
After killing the key figures, Shi Zhao stopped and did not carry out a large-scale massacre.
She reserved her gentleness only for her close friends and family; as for her enemies, she would simply kill them all!
Suddenly, a divine thought resounded in her mind, saying, "Come back, and bring those mounts back as food. A great calamity is coming; be prepared."
