Chapter 343: Another strong poison (Part )
Chi Guoguo retreated, then returned, once again blasting the energy shield outside the city wall and piling up dozens of Yaksha corpses.
After more than a dozen rounds of exchanges, all the "corpses" of the Yaksha masters that Chi Hehe brought back were taken back by him.
The elite Tiger Guards corps brought by Chi Guoguo and directly under the Yaksha Palace set up camp 200 miles west of Chujing City. According to the racial nature of the Yaksha people, they sent a large number of Golden Immortal-level generals to carry a large number of mountains from afar and arranged a dense mountain area at the camp.
The Yaksha people don't like plains.
Mountains, caves, and deep valleys give them a sense of security. Even though they have a certain level of civilization and have developed to the present level, they still maintain this primitive "nature", or "animal nature".
The dull and monotonous sound of wooden drums rang out.
At a command from Chi Guoguo, three thousand women of sufficient age from the Yaksha clan were recruited from nearby towns, all of whom were over 50,000 years old.
The natural lifespan limit of the Yaksha people is 100,000 years. Women over 50,000 years old have already entered middle age. Moreover, they are all "old people" who were born before the arrival of the Jiuzhou Legion led by Xiang Yu. They still retain the most traditional and primitive customs and habits of the Yaksha people.
Three thousand women took off their silk, satin, or fine cotton and linen clothes and put on simple clothes made of tree bark and animal skin. They used dark brown mud to smear hideous marks on their faces and exposed bodies.
They waved long bone sticks, sat cross-legged beside the 'corpses of Chi Hehehe and others', and shook their bodies in unison at a strange rhythm. On their fat faces, lines of pea-sized tears kept falling, accompanied by shrill and plaintive cries, and long, soul-calling funeral songs.
Chi Hehehe is of the Yaksha royal bloodline, and is also the guard general who guards the ancestral cave. He has a noble status and is of great importance.
The funeral of such a great man cannot be taken lightly.
Chi Guoguo personally washed the bodies of Chi Hehehe and others with clean water more than ten times, and then carefully smeared fruit wine, jam and salt all over their bodies little by little.
During this process, Chi Guoguo and several of her children who were doing the work themselves were constantly swallowing their saliva.
One by one, the 'dragon birds' took off into the sky and flew in all directions at a very high speed... Then, on the second day, the third day, and even the fourth day, nine-headed war beasts flapped their wings with all their might and rushed from all directions.
With the physical strength of these nine-headed war beasts at the Golden Immortal level, they would have to use all their strength to fly for three days and three nights. They didn't know how far they were from Chu Jing. It must have been a terrifying distance.
These people were all important figures of the Yaksha royal family. They had brought their most direct and important relatives and rushed here as quickly as possible. More than 70% of them were guarding cities or fiefdoms in remote places. The first wave of Liushang voodoo had not yet spread to them.
Now, they have all arrived.
Under the leadership of Chi Guoguo, they stood on the top of the mountain that formed the camp, pointing and cursing in the direction of Chujing, some even took off their robes in public and urinated in the direction of the city wall of Chujing to express their grief and indignation, as well as their irreconcilable hatred towards the "Ji Luo people".
After a burst of roaring and venting, this group of guys couldn't wait to rush into the barracks and joined the team of 3,000 women. They took off their gorgeous clothes, changed into rough clothes, and sat around the corpses of Chi Hehehe and others, shaking their heads, crying, wailing, and singing extremely weird funeral songs.
On the fifth day, Xing Tianli thought that the 'painted skin and flesh body' he had created might have a bit of smell due to the hot weather. Finally, all the royal family members that Chi Guoguo had invited by letter arrived.
So, the ceremony came to the final step.
Three thousand women took the lead, and thousands of descendants of the Yaksha King's Palace followed them, singing, dancing, and running around the corpses.
Some elite warriors of the Yaksha tribe went to the distant mountains and forests, hunted a large number of wild animals, slaughtered them on the spot, and poured streams of blood on the bodies of Chi Hehe and others. Some even pried open the mouths of Chi Hehe and others who were completely stiff, and poured the blood of the animals into their mouths.
The chaotic ceremony lasted all day long.
Finally, in the evening, Chi Guoguo stood up, holding a black stone knife in his hand, and shouted hoarsely: "The heroic Chi Hehehe and our brothers have returned to the embrace of the Great Yaksha. Their souls have returned to heaven and earth; their flesh and blood, along with their power, will merge with us forever."
Xing Tianli stood on the battlements of the city wall, and beside him stood the Black Sun Sect Leader and others who had also transformed. All of them were using secret techniques to observe what was happening in the Yaksha camp.
These guys, they have horrible customs.
Even though they have embraced "civilization" for more than ten thousand years, even though the Miao people of Jiuzhou have greatly changed their lives and customs, even though there are still great scholars of the Miao people of Jiuzhou in the Yaksha Palace who teach them various classics and etiquette...only this terrible custom has been preserved intact, whether by the radicals or the moderates.
If a tribe member died in battle, they would share the body of the tribe member.
In the religious beliefs of the Yaksha people, they firmly believe that if brave warriors die on the battlefield, their souls will be taken away by the Great Yaksha Lord, and they will follow the Great Yaksha Lord to conquer the heavens forever.
And their strength, their courage, their wisdom - well, the last sentence can be ignored. The entire Yaksha tribe has no wisdom. Perhaps all their wisdom is cast in the head of the first generation of Yaksha King, resulting in the average IQ of other members of the tribe being a little insufficient.
In short, brave warriors will integrate all their strength into their corpses.
As long as the tribesmen share their corpses, they can inherit part of his power - and this is not false. The Yaksha people have this terrible custom for a reason.
Before obtaining the secret methods taught by the great witches of the Kyushu Legion, the Yaksha people could only rely on living long enough, slowly enduring time, growing little by little, and accumulating strength bit by bit.
If they eat the corpses of their own kind, they can indeed plunder some of the essence, blood and energy from those corpses to replenish themselves, which can greatly improve their own cultivation and greatly increase their growth rate.
Before the arrival of the Kyushu Legion, the Yaksha tribes fought and plundered each other. This is one of the main reasons - the entire Yaksha tribe is actually a "cannibal tribe."
After the ceremony was completed, Chi Guoguo personally cut the bodies of Chi Hehehe and others into pieces.
Because it was Chi Guoguo who personally "went deep into the enemy camp" and snatched back the bodies of Chi Hehehe and others, Chi Guoguo got the most delicious part - the heads of all the dead in the battle, as well as their hearts, all belonged to Chi Guoguo.
Those princes of noble status and of the same generation as Chi Guoguo, who were enfeoffed in various places, received the most delicious internal organs with the largest reserves of essence and blood.
The kings and princesses were divided according to their status. The highest-ranking ones shared the thighs with the most developed muscles and the greatest power - after all, compared to those arms with branches, the thighs of the Yaksha people were too rare.
As for the kings and princesses of lower status, each of them has an arm, so just gnaw on it!
The remaining scraps were thrown around at random, and the soldiers around them scrambled for them frantically, hoping to get a piece of flesh and blood that contained royal blood!At the command, everyone started eating.
'Puff Chi'.
Pieces of flesh and blood made by the 'Painted Skin' magic burst in these guys' mouths, large amounts of colorful juice gushed out, and thick clouds spread out like spore mist.
'Cough cough cough', everyone started coughing.
This is the second batch of enhanced voodoo, which was concocted by the Black Sun Cult leader and others after they conducted an in-depth analysis of the bloodline of the Yaksha clan and used all means possible.
This thing, even if it just touches the skin, will quickly penetrate into their bodies and rapidly reproduce with the help of their essence and blood energy.
Because of their primitive customs and Chi Guoguo's outrageous actions, the guards and princes who were enfeoffed in various places by the Yaksha Palace all swallowed this enhanced version of voodoo in big gulps.
Coughing violently, the Yaksha prince closest to Chi Guoguo suddenly jumped up and punched Chi Guoguo on the head: "Chi Guoguo, you bastard, what evil method did you use to drain the power of Chi Hehehe and others? Why is their flesh and blood so bland and tasteless?"
Chi Guoguo was about to fight back when more than a dozen brothers and sisters from all directions suddenly jumped up and attacked him. More than a dozen guards and princes of the same rank waved their arms, some thick, some thin, some long, some short, and beat Chi Guoguo. None of them had any magical powers, and they relied on brute force to win.
Although Chi Guoguo has a Taiyi-level body, these dozen brothers are only slightly weaker, and in terms of numbers, especially the number of arms, they have an absolute numerical advantage.
This is a blast.
Chi Guoguo was soon beaten black and blue, more than two hundred of his thirty-one teeth were knocked out, and seventy or eighty of his arms were broken. Some people were so cruel that they took advantage of the chaos to attack him and kicked him dozens of times in the vital parts of his lower abdomen, causing Chi Guoguo to howl in pain.
After all, he is the contemporary Yaksha King.
When Chi Guoguo was beaten, the palace guards he brought with him panicked and rushed up to rescue their master.
However, these garrisons and princes also brought their trusted aides with them.
Immediately, the Yaksha masters, who were dozens of times more numerous than the palace guards, rushed forward ready to fight, surrounded the palace guards and started beating them up.
Everyone has a physical strength of Golden Immortal or Taiyi level.
They rolled all over the ground, struggled and roared, fighting fiercely. Their huge bodies just rolled on the ground, and the sound of "bang bang" was endless. Three thousand women who were over 50,000 years old and were recruited were originally enjoying their lives at home, but they were all exploded by the slightest touch of their bodies.
The mountains collapsed and the military camps turned into dust.
Finally, a long horn sounded, and the war beasts struggled to fly into the sky, roaring and howling towards the people below. The war beasts carried the elite soldiers of the Tiger Guards directly under the Yaksha Palace, swarming in from all directions, surrounding the thousands of descendants of the palace in the chaos.
Long spears were raised, bowstrings were drawn, and countless Tiger Guard officers raised heavy javelins high in the air.
So everyone calmed down.
The angry guards and princes, while spitting out the indescribable, filthy and turbid juice in their mouths, shouted and laughed loudly: "Nonsense, nonsense, Chi Guoguo is our king, how could he do such a thing to steal food?"
"That's right. Chi Guoguo is our brother. He was made king because he followed the rules the most... How could he break the rules?"
"Besides, if he really combined the power of so many brothers, how could he not be able to defeat us? Right, isn't that the truth? It doesn't make sense!"
Everyone laughed, laughed extremely heartily, as if nothing had happened, and helped Chi Guoguo up from the ground, and helped him connect his arms and legs with a "click, click", gently patted the dust off his body, and in the meantime, smashed his rough clothes made of animal skins and tree barks into pieces, leaving him naked in public.
Chi Guoguo howled in anger. With his roar, circles of violent air waves spread out in all directions, blowing those brothers who were pretending to be weak around him away hundreds of feet.
After all, he is the contemporary Yaksha King. Behind the scenes, as soon as Chi Guoguo gave a command, numerous war beasts in the sky and underground roared in unison, causing chaos in towns and cities within a thousand miles.
"If it weren't for me, I would never do such a thing!" Chi Guoguo cursed angrily, "Besides, Chi Hehe and the others were brought back from Chujing by me personally, and so many soldiers can testify for me!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Many brothers looked at Chi Guoguo with a clear mind. They had enjoyed the beating just now. However, someone in the crowd still shouted in a sarcastic tone: "Chi Guoguo, you would not do such a thing, but those people from Kyushu around you may not."
"Yes, yes, Chi Guoguo, you are too protective of those people from Jiuzhou." A cousin who was older than Chi Guoguo jumped out and said, "Well, let me tell you, you won't do that, but who knows about those people from Jiuzhou? What if they come up with some evil method and steal the power in Chi Hehe and the others' bodies, right?"
"They have evil intentions." A prince sighed worriedly, "If these people from Jiuzhou have the power to fight us...haha, there are no people from Jiuzhou around me. Hey, I'm not afraid of being assassinated by them."
"But it's hard to say. Chi Guoguo has taken good care of them over the years. The people of Jiuzhou should be a little grateful." Someone else said sarcastically, "Maybe, after the people of Jiuzhou destroy our foundation and overthrow us Yasha people, they will show mercy to Chi Guoguo, and we will be in trouble."
Chi Guoguo's expression turned extremely ugly.
He looked fiercely at the guards and princes present one by one. They were all descendants of the Yaksha King... But what shocked him was that among the many guards and princes present, the big men who held all the real power of the Yaksha clan, 60% of them were "radicals".
They were bent on usurping the Western Chu Empire, making the Yaksha Palace emperor and completely reducing the Miao people of Kyushu to slavery.
As for the rest, most of them are "neutralis" and are fence-sitters who change with the wind. You can't expect anything from them.
The real "moderates" were only himself and two or three of the closest bloodlines to the royal family...
Chi Guoguo took a deep breath and looked at Chu Jing. He remembered the ways of being a king taught by the most trusted Confucian scholars of Kyushu. He could not learn those that were too complicated, but he did learn a lot of the simple ones.
——When internal conflicts cannot be reconciled, transfer them to the outside.
——Use the enemy's hand to eliminate your own enemies.
“The Ji La people!” Chi Guoguo roared at the top of her lungs: “It’s the Ji La people, it’s their conspiracy… It’s them who stole Chi Hehe’s power, it’s them who deliberately used these mutated corpses to insult our beliefs, insult our traditions, and insult our Great Yaksha!”
"Brothers, kill these daring naked men!"
Chi Guoguo suddenly raised all his arms on his right side and shouted loudly: "I swear to the Great Yaksha Venerable here that whoever has made the most contributions and killed the most sacrificial people this time, I will recommend him to the ancestors to be the next Yaksha King!"
"My term of office will only last for three hundred years." Chi Guoguo smiled kindly, just like a queen injecting poison into an apple. However, as he smiled, he suddenly sneezed violently, and extremely sticky mucus with a hint of green and red blood spurted out of his nostrils.
Chi Guoguo waved his hand disapprovingly and wiped his face.
The poison was taking effect, but the lethality it brought was still minimal to his effect. If he wanted to kill Taiyi, who was a master of his physical body, the poison would have to continue to accumulate strength.
Many of the guards and princes who had just fought with Chi Guoguo were now staring at her fanatically, as if they were homeless children seeing their biological mother.
The next moment, no one knew which guy took the lead, they all jumped up, ran to find their armor and weapons, quickly dressed themselves with the help of the guards, and one by one they howled like wolves and ran towards Chu Jing.
Chi Guoguo had her Hundred Dragon Throne brought over, jumped onto a mountain, and pushed the throne upright on the top of the mountain. She sat heavily on the throne, twisted her body comfortably, and shouted at Chi Sheli who was tied to the city wall: "Chi Sheli, my precious daughter, don't worry, your uncles will rescue you!"
Chi Guoguo smiled brightly.
Then, his nose and tears spurted out again, and his internal organs felt a little numb.
Large groups of heavily armored Yaksha men charged towards Chu Jing.
As they ran, some began to sneeze and cough, and some kept spitting out sticky and slightly smelly saliva from their mouths. Once the saliva fell to the ground, it quickly turned into wisps of sticky mist and spread all around.
Every descendant of the royal palace who came into contact with the 'painted skin and flesh' created by Xing Tianli became a fierce source of infection.
The garrisons and princes were running and issuing orders, and one by one, the "dragon birds" or war beasts flew into the air and quickly ran towards their own territories. They were ready to gather more elite troops to come to Chujing to defeat these "sacrifice naked people" who dared to invade.
A brutal siege battle broke out.
