Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 108 Natural Spirit

In the various Hu lands in the north, most of the Hu people living there did not practice martial arts, but instead took the path of sacrifice and offering sacrifices.

Basically every tribe has its own sacrifices and beliefs.

From wind, rain, thunder, and lightning to birds, beasts, fish, and insects, all can be objects of worship, and these gradually give rise to their own spiritual beliefs, which are called natural spirits.

The people of the tribe call him Dazun.

Ordinary tribesmen would gradually tattoo various symbols on their bodies to obtain the power and blessing of the Great Master and gain strength comparable to that of warriors.

However, this method would damage the human body, resulting in a short lifespan for most tribesmen. The north was bitterly cold, and if the Great Venerable was not worshipped, even the slightest natural disaster could bring the entire tribe to its knees.

The strength of these great masters varies.

Although they possessed miraculous powers similar to those of [Outer Scenery] warriors, most natural spirits were not very powerful, at most equivalent to the sixth level of the martial arts. Only a few great masters who had survived for over a hundred years could rival the [Outer Scenery] in strength.

But even so, it is still very difficult to deal with.

Lu Mengzhi looked at the birds flying in the sky. These birds were just ordinary birds and of different species, but under the influence of some force, they rushed into the tent fearlessly.

Use your claws, use your beak to cause damage little by little.

Most soldiers only had cloth armor. Facing these omnipresent birds, their swords and shields were of little use. In a blink of an eye, many people were covered in blood.

"ignition!"

Lu Mengzhi acted decisively and kicked over the brazier beside him, setting the tent on fire and turning it into a raging flame.

The other soldiers followed suit and lit fires everywhere.

As the flames rose, the entire camp was illuminated. The birds were obviously afraid to approach and hesitated in the sky.

"Roar."

At this moment, a general came on horseback from a distance. He looked up at the sky and roared. His chest and abdomen vibrated, turning into the sound of thunder, which instantly created a gap in the dense flocks of birds in the sky.

He drew the long sword from his waist, and his true energy transformed into a sharp sword shadow, directly widening the gap in the flock of birds.

All I saw were sword energy flying, bird corpses falling from the sky, and the air was filled with a foul smell of blood.

As if sensing that something was wrong, the flock of birds flapped their wings and quickly dispersed in all directions.

"Mengzhi, are you okay?"

The general took off his helmet, revealing a resolute face, and asked with some concern.

"Thank you, General Wuwei, for the rescue."

Lu Mengzhi shook his head and quickly ordered people to count the injuries.

"The bird swarms are a tactic to tire out the troops. It seems the Hu people can't hold back again this year."

The general frowned. This was actually the habit of the Hu people over the years. Before a large-scale attack, they would continuously send birds and insects to attack. The casualties would not be too great, but you needed to be on your guard at all times and respond carefully.

Some hidden insects will even eat your food supplies, making it difficult to guard against them.

Once the border troops are exhausted, they will launch a large-scale attack, which is very disgusting.

"However, they want to disgust us, but we don't give them the opportunity."

"Starting tomorrow, I will allocate 500 [Crushing Yue Army] to the north to raid the Grass Valley. Mengzhi, do you want to join us?"

After dealing with the Hu people for so long, everyone is familiar with the routines between the two sides. When the enemy uses this kind of harassment strategy, they gather their elite troops and take the initiative to attack.

【Chuiyue Army】Everyone is a cavalryman, armed to the teeth with armor, the five hundred Cuiyue Army dares to fight against an enemy ten times their number.

Lu Mengzhi nodded. She would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

However, she also felt a sense of urgency. She had to hurry and gather her true energy. Without true energy, she would be very passive in the face of these attacks. ...

Lu Ming held his chin, feeling a little melancholy.

It had been a while since the [Bone-penetrating Dragon] had been promoted to a demon beast, but the [Sunset Bow] was still a long way from evolving into a divine weapon. Lu Ming had also thought of some solutions, such as sending it to the [Weapon Storage Cave] to be irradiated.

But even so, the speed of evolution is very slow, estimated to be measured in years.

"Song Siye, are you looking for me?"

Lu Ming opened the attic door with a playful smile. Song Xinyuan was sitting at the desk writing something.

"sit."

Song Xinyuan glanced at the man unhappily. Although Lu Ming's status was much higher now than before, he didn't give him much of a favorable look.

"I won't sit down. The cafeteria will be open soon and I have to go eat."

Lu Ming wanted to finish his work quickly and then go eat.

"Urgent news has arrived from the border that the Hu tribes may move south this year and request support from the Martial Temple. I have discussed this with the Lord Jijiu and am planning to let you go."

Song Xinyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he spoke directly.

Even though Lu Ming's realm is only the fifth level of martial arts, his true strength has been demonstrated in the secret realm. At least no one below the [Exterior Scene] can do anything to him.

"what……"

"That's not very convenient. I'm in the process of rapidly improving my martial arts skills recently, so I shouldn't be distracted."

The bitter cold of the borderland was no match for the happiness he had in the Martial Temple, and Lu Ming was not very happy about it.

"I heard that your Sunset Bow is at the critical stage of becoming a divine weapon. Using spiritual ore alone to stimulate it will take at least five years. However, if you can extract enough spiritual energy, perhaps this time can be greatly shortened."

Lu Ming originally felt indifferent, but when he heard Song Xinyuan say this, he immediately understood something.

"What kind of spirituality is there here?"

"Yes, most of the Hu tribes worship nature spirits. They regard them as gods. As long as you kill a nature spirit, you can gain spirituality."

Song Xinyuan began to explain.

In this case... Lu Ming was very excited. He had stored up a lot of energy these days, which greatly increased his own safety and he was not afraid of encountering any danger.

"However, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. What good will it do me to go to the border to provide support?"

Lu Ming was a man who didn't release his eagle until he saw the rabbit. He couldn't work for nothing. Hunting for nature spirits required personal effort, so this wasn't much of a reward.

"Send your mount to the Animal Breeding Department. Someone will use their true qi to comb its meridians and prepare a prescription to lay a solid foundation for its development."

"As for the rest, you can take whatever you want from this Martial Temple. I can't promise you anything."

Song Xinyuan already knew Lu Ming's character, so he spoke directly.

The [Bone-penetrating Dragon] was bred and promoted by Lu Ming himself, so it must have many hidden dangers. Let the people from the [Beast Breeding Department] take good care of it, and its potential in the future will be even higher.

"Thank you, Master Siye."

Lu Ming was overjoyed and decided to stop while he was ahead.

"Go to the collection room these days and learn more about the Hu people's natural spirits. Although they are only crude and small, they have already possessed some of the power of the [External Scene] and can sometimes be very difficult to deal with."

Song Xinyuan waved his hand and Lu Ming left quickly.

P.S. This sounds like the excuse I came up with. I had gastroenteritis this morning, vomited and had diarrhea, and felt very weak. I can only update two chapters today. I will make up for the missing chapters over the weekend! Sorry everyone.
