Witch Wind - Chapter 337: Yaksha Ancestral Cave

Chujing.

Inside the city, all the Yaksha members, including masters like Chisheli and Hulishao, fell ill.

They were quite clever and asked their subordinates to capture a large group of doctors from Kyushu to treat them.

However, how can these doctors in Jiuzhou cure Liushang voodoo?The Jiuzhou 'imperial doctors' used their ancestral life-saving methods and poured a lukewarm fruit medicine into Chisheli and the others, making them roll their eyes. As a result, these extremely nourishing fruit medicines did not have any effect on the disease, but instead made the Liushang voodoo in their bodies more active and excited.

Only the masters among the Yaksha people in Chishe, relying on their strong celestial-level bodies, were able to resist the invasion of the voodoo and barely had the strength to groan a few times. The rest of the Yaksha people all fell down, unable to move, and many more had already coughed to death.

Outside the city of Chujing, there is a hunting army base.

The camp gates were tightly closed, and figures were swaying on the camp walls. Large groups of Kyushu soldiers in armor were patrolling on the camp walls, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. On top of the city walls, a large number of high-pressure steam catapults with great lethality, which were usually guarded by the Yaksha people and would never be deployed, were moved to the camp walls.

The hissing sound of the steam valve releasing pressure was heard constantly.

Xing Tianli looked up at these steam fighters and couldn't help but be amazed.

The world is really big. If you don’t see it, you really don’t know how wonderful it is.

The atmosphere of Yasha Star is extremely dense. Here, the speed of sound is about three times that of Xing Tianli's accustomed one hundred feet per second. In other words, two miles can be covered in the blink of an eye. And these steam-powered fighters can actually reach supersonic speeds in this world. This world's favor for "steam" is really hard to describe.

However, these steam technologies have nothing to do with the Yaksha people.

In the history of the Western Chu Empire, after the Yaksha King usurped the imperial power, during the time of the third Yaksha King, as the Yaksha people became increasingly cruel in oppressing the Miao people in Jiuzhou, a group of Mohist disciples used powerful steam weapons to assassinate the king.

In that battle, blood flowed like a river and the Yaksha Palace suffered heavy losses.

After that battle, most of the Mohist disciples were slaughtered, and the remaining ones were directly reduced to slaves. They were threatened with their lives and their nine relatives and forced to research newer and more powerful weapons for the Yaksha people.

Since then, the Yaksha people have been more cautious about the Jiuzhou Miao people. Now, even the most basic cultivation methods of the Jiuzhou Miao people have been banned. The Jiuzhou Miao people can only join the hunting army, work hard for the Yaksha people, fight for them on the battlefield, and accumulate military merits in exchange for some of the most basic methods of practicing Qi and cultivating Taoism.

In the military camp, on the camp wall, and in the camp, the hunting troops who were on high alert to prevent any accidents were all the lowest-level Kyushu soldiers.

In the hunting army, only a very small number of Miao people from Jiuzhou have made really great achievements. They can climb up to the rank of lieutenant colonel or captain - but they have absolutely no chance of becoming generals. No Miao person from Jiuzhou can become a general in the hunting army, no matter how great his achievements are.

At this moment in the military camp, all the Yaksha people who were in high positions fell ill, there were coughing sounds everywhere, and blue-red blood could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Normally, the armory, which was tightly guarded by the Yaksha people and strictly prohibited the Miao people from Jiuzhou from approaching, has its doors wide open today, and all the heavy weapons have been carried out by the soldiers from Jiuzhou.

Even in the big river next to the military camp, there were more than a dozen steam combat platforms with a displacement of over 10,000 tons. They were powered by steam and glided directly at low altitudes. They were also "grunting" and breathing out hot breath, making terrible noises, cruising back and forth on the river, and occasionally rushing onto the river bank, rampaging on the shore like angry wild boars for a while, inadvertently destroying a large number of flowers, plants and trees.

Xing Tianli circled around the military camp, and every time he passed by a new type of steam war equipment, he hypnotized the hunting soldiers inside and released them, then stuffed the war equipment into the Tongtian Ding for analysis, and then used the magical power of "mediating creation" to frantically copy and transform it.

In this world, the abilities of the Mohist disciples were greatly restricted.

They cannot practice normally.

This method rarely touches the level of spirit and soul.

As for 'scientific research', creating 'new weapons', and even studying 'new furnaces', 'new materials', etc., there is no doubt that the stronger the soul, the more superhuman the 'IQ' displayed, and the more the talents of the Mohist disciples can be brought into play.

On the Yaksha Star, the Mohist disciples are unable to touch upon the profound cultivation methods that can directly reach the soul.

Their talents have been greatly curbed.

When Xing Tianli got these weapons, he used his immortal soul power in the Daluo realm to analyze them and finally understood the mystery behind them.

Slightly change the alloy ratio of these weapons, slightly change the design of those steam engines, and engrave powerful refining runes on the structure of each module of these weapons.

Hey, the super-heavy steam war beast with almost identical appearance is powerful enough to compete with a physical cultivator at the perfect celestial realm.

And this kind of physical cultivation that has reached the perfect state of celestial immortal is not an ordinary stuff, but a celestial immortal of perfect state who has excellent bloodline talent and practices the "protective mystical art" passed down by the "great sect".

Of course, only in this world.

In this world, steam kinetic energy is favored by heaven and earth and blessed by the laws of heaven and earth. The power of steam is above all power systems and can exert such incredible power.

"Interesting, interesting." Xing Tianli walked around the military camp and left the camp leisurely without disturbing the hunting soldiers who were on high alert and seemed to be planning something.

However, not long after he left the military camp, he heard some noise behind him.

It's not just this hunting army camp.

In other directions, dozens of hunting camps of varying sizes had fully-armed armies marching out in a mighty force towards Chujing.

In these military camps, the Yaksha generals’ screams could be heard from time to time: “You, want to rebel? You…rebel…rebel…”

"Huff," "Huff," amid the sharp and high-pitched sound of steam jets, steam-powered weapons were swung out at an extremely high speed, with terrifying force, chopping off or smashing the heads of these Yaksha generals.

Faced with these sudden attacks from the hunting soldiers, even though their individual strength was a hundred times higher than that of the hunting soldiers, they could only roar in anger and watch these weak and tiny descendants of the Jiuzhou Miao commit rebellion and behead them on the spot.

Xing Tianli was a little surprised, then he started laughing.

Good, good, good.

The descendants of Jiuzhou Miao are indeed the descendants of Jiuzhou Miao. Although their power has been usurped and suppressed for so many years, he just gave them a little bit of opportunity, and these guys, like a volcano hidden in the center of the earth, erupted with great vigor.

From all directions, the "rebellious" Kyushu hunting army soldiers marched towards Chujing. God knows what kind of faith they have.

God knows from which pile of old papers these antiques were dug out.

Along with the roar of steam and the heavy breathing of the soldiers, tattered large flags with the word "Xiang" on them fluttered in the air among the rapidly marching troops.

Xiang Liang rushed to Xing Tianli with a gust of wind. He pointed at the big banners with the word "Xiang" fluttering in all directions and shouted excitedly: "People's hearts are so divided... Look, the prestige of my Xiang family is in their hearts..."

Xiang Liang shut his mouth.

He had nothing to say.

What else could he say?This is the fact. Xiang Yu wanted to use Yaksha Star as a logistics supply base. He left a group of Jiuzhou disciples to run it. However, he never expected that this spiritual place would be a natural disaster for all the cultivation methods of the Jiuzhou Miao people.

The strength of the children of Kyushu is declining, while the Yaksha people are growing stronger.

He only kept the Miao people from Jiuzhou in captivity as slaves and technicians, and occasionally killed some of them as snacks, but he did not really give the order to keep these Miao people from Jiuzhou in captivity and eat them as "two-legged sheep" at will.

The big flag with the word "Xiang" flying in front of me.

Xing Tianli smiled and shook his head - perhaps this was just a totem or a symbol temporarily put forward by these hunting troops, nothing more... He didn't believe that after more than 10,000 years had passed, how much prestige Xiang Yu could still have in the hearts of these Miao people of Jiuzhou.

Perhaps, as long as a hero from Jiuzhou draws his sword and does something earth-shaking, these descendants of Jiuzhou will immediately turn to support the new hero and completely throw the unreliable Xiang Yu into the dust of history.

After hesitating for a long time, he murmured, "I just found out that over the years, the hunting army is the only place where the Miao people in Jiuzhou can obtain the cultivation method... But the method they are taught is extremely crude and inferior, and the ultimate level of cultivation is only to the earthly immortal realm..."

"Moreover, all the successful hunters will stay on Yaksha Star most of the time. In this world without spirits, their cultivation will stagnate. Although the number of hunters is large, their overall strength is just so-so."

"They pose no threat to the Yaksha people."

Xiang Liang looked at Xing Tianli and said, "Unless your Liushang voodoo can really spread throughout the entire Yasha Star?"

There were dozens of extremely ferocious beasts, shaped like pterosaurs, but with nine heads and eighteen wings, and six long and sharp claws. Their bodies were covered with thick black scales. They were about two miles long from head to tail, with a wingspan of more than five miles. They were extremely ferocious war beasts. On the back of each of them stood a dozen huge, heavily armored Yaksha masters, flying towards them at an extremely high speed.

These war beasts were extremely vicious, with no mana fluctuations in their bodies, only a mass of turbid, manic blood essence surging. In their heads, there were no intelligent, clear spiritual waves rippling, only a wisp of muddy, ambitious primitive impulses lingering.

However, even the weakest of these war beasts, with its pure physical and blood strength, has reached the threshold of the Golden Immortal in physical cultivation.

The leader among them had nine heads with bone feather crowns growing on them, and its head almost transformed into a dragon-head-shaped war beast. Its physical strength had even reached the level of perfection of an ordinary Golden Immortal.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.

The people of Yaksha Star are like this too, and so are their war beast mounts, with branches intertwined, and so many heads, wings, and claws. Xiang Liang complained, "If a store selling stewed goods comes here, it would make a fortune... After killing a pig, there are always seven or eight pig heads, a dozen pig ears, and seven or eight pairs of pig trotters to cook."

Xing Tianli clapped his hands and laughed. Although Xiang Liang's words were not very serious, they were the truth.

As the two were looking up, they saw the leading war beast suddenly flap its thick fleshy wings. The air beneath the eighteen huge wings shook violently, causing a large white gas explosion, and its huge body suddenly condensed in the air.

There were more than fifty war beasts in total, and each warrior carried twelve or thirteen people on his back. That meant six or seven hundred Yaksha masters with a sinister aura fell heavily to the ground. These guys had terrifyingly strong combat instincts. Although they did not emit any spiritual fluctuations, they sniffed violently as soon as they landed, and turned to look at Xing Tianli and Xiang Liang at the same time.

Good guy.

Six or seven hundred people, five or six thousand heads, more than ten thousand eyes of all sizes flashing with fierce light, staring directly at him. These Yaksha people were born strangely, on the same head, or even on the same face, the eyeballs were red, green, blue, yellow, all kinds of colors, just like a mixed-blood Persian cat.

Suddenly, he was stared at by tens of thousands of eyes of different colors. Even though it was the first time for Xing Tianli to encounter such a scene in his life, the hairs on his back could not help but stand up, and the hairs between his eyebrows stood up one by one.

"I am General Chi Hehe of the Yaksha Ancestral Cave, and I am here by the king's order to investigate the causes and consequences of the great epidemic in Chujing. Tell me quickly, does the strangeness here have anything to do with you?"

As he was speaking, Chi Hehehe sneezed, and large amounts of sticky snot mixed with traces of blue-red blood spurted out from all forty-eight nostrils at the same time.

Xing Tianli raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Hmm? It seems that your bodies are strong enough, your blood is powerful enough, and the Yaksha power in your body can actually counteract the effect of voodoo? This type of Liushang voodoo has lethality to Yakshas above the Golden Immortal level like you, but it is not fatal for the time being!"

Xing Tianli did not conceal anything and spoke these words in a normal voice.

But they are just too stupid.

Chi Hehe has lived for more than three thousand years. He has practiced the "Jun" level secret method and possessed the combat power of the Golden Immortal level... For more than three thousand years, he has racked his brains to learn the Jiuzhou language from the Jiuzhou scholars. This was also a mandatory order issued by the first generation of Yaksha King.

It took more than three thousand years to learn a language. Chi Hehe can now write no more than a thousand characters of the Nine Provinces. However, he can barely understand the normal conversations of the Miao people of the Nine Provinces - he can understand normal conversations in vernacular Chinese. But if a sour scholar shows off his book bag and argues with him about words in parallel four-four and six-six sentences, he will get crazy and kill people.

So, he heard clearly what Xing Tianli was muttering.

After a while, Chi Hehe finally understood what Xing Tianli said. He roared in surprise, joy, and anger, "What did you say? Liushang voodoo? The great epidemic among our people was caused by you?"

Xing Tianli nodded to Chi Hehe very frankly: "Yes, I did it, what do you want to do?"

Chi Hehe laughed wildly: "The credit goes to me, hahahaha, this time, it's my turn to be the Yaksha King... As the Yaksha King, I can eat 10,000 fresh and delicious people from Kyushu every year, slurp..."

He swallowed hard, and with seventy-two arms flashing cold light, he rushed towards Xing Tianli fiercely.

These steam-powered heavy armors, after being modified by Xing Tianli, were engraved with millions of array patterns and runes. Some of the limbs were even made of tiny branches from the mother tree of the world. Under the influence of the aura of the innate armor wood, the other materials of the heavy armor were rapidly evolving towards the level of acquired spiritual gold. The power of the entire set of armor was enhanced to a level that was enough to go head-to-head with a Golden Immortal Perfection level cultivator.

Thousands of heavily armored humanoids roared out, and the huge steam-powered hammers in their hands spewed out extremely fine and long milky white high-temperature steam that was hundreds of feet long, pushing the hammer heads forward fiercely.

Ten humanoids in heavy armor surrounded Chi Hehe.

There was a loud bang that shook the earth, and the seventy-two heavy weapons in Chi Hehe's hands were shattered to pieces.
