The Flying-Head Barbarian God (13)
Near the East Sea lies the Black Teeth Kingdom.
In the blink of an eye, almost half a month has passed since Divine Lord Meng Zhang appeared here.
During these two weeks, Divine Lord Meng Zhang traveled almost the entire Black Teeth Kingdom, following the map given to him by Shouyi.
What he saw was far more shocking than Shouyi had described.
So many people died because of the plague...
There are divine remains left by Wu Yi everywhere...
However, unlike other regions with chaotic Yuan Qi, the Black Teeth Kingdom did not give rise to all sorts of Ghost God.
Or more precisely, those Ghost God that were in the gestation stage or had already been born were nipped in the bud.
It draws upon the resentment of countless Ghost God, and absorbs the life force of countless living beings...
This Formation, set up at the national level, is now operating in ways that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
--Life born from death, transcending the boundaries of life and death with the help of the resentment of Ghost God.
When Divine Lord Meng Zhang arrived at Lacquer Teeth City, the capital of the Black Teeth Kingdom, the Netherworld Qi in the sky was already visible to the naked eye.
Because this capital city is the center of the entire Formation, and also the place where countless lives and resentments converge.
Even in the bright sunshine of broad daylight, Divine Lord Meng Zhang could still feel a slight chill.
"My Lord, be careful, that place is no longer the mortal realm."
It swiftly emerged from Divine Lord Meng Zhang's sleeve.
The Red Serpent also gazed at the distant capital and issued a warning.
Then, as if to confirm the words of the Red Serpent, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept through the once brightly Lacquer Teeth City of Qichi.
As that eerie wind blew, the Yin World corresponding to Lacquer Teeth City manifested.
The two worlds overlapped at that moment.
The people living in the city were even more astonished to see their ancestors, who should have been dead.
They brushed past each other, yet were completely unable to touch.
What have you done!?
Without venturing deep into the space between Divine Lord Meng Zhang suddenly raised his head and loudly questioned.
The next second, the figures of Fuyou and Yinyi appeared in the sky above the city, looking down at Divine Lord Meng Zhang below.
However, Fuyou and Yinyi are clearly in a somewhat abnormal state.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from inside the city.
By the time Divine Lord Meng Zhang reacted, a head with silver hair, black teeth, red eyebrows, and long ears appeared near the city gate.
It was obviously the head of a god, and there were traces of struggle on that ferocious face.
"Let's go! Get out of here!"
Driven by its own will, its head flew toward Divine Lord Meng Zhang.
A warning glint flashed in the deity's eyes, and his voice sounded unusually pained.
"This place is about to become the second Tufang Kingdom! Quickly tell everyone to leave the Black Teeth Kingdom!"
This can be understood simply from the words of this deity.
He is the Ancestor God of the Black Teeth Kingdom, someone who, even in death, still cares about the survival of this nation.
Before Divine Lord Meng Zhang arrived, the city maintained a semblance of order, with the living and the dead not interfering with each other.
However, the arrival of Divine Lord Meng Zhang clearly disrupted this delicate balance.
Realizing they had been discovered, Fuyou and Yinyi chose to take a desperate gamble and proceed with the ritual ahead of schedule.
Tumultuous!
Visible to the naked eye Netherworld Qi transformed into a vortex, forming a giant inverted triangle in the sky.
Subsequently, the Netherworld Qi throughout the entire Black Teeth Kingdom began to stir.
Those infected with the plague let out heart-wrenching cries of agony.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow of death loomed over the feet of every patient.
Bang!
He shattered the suddenly appearing shadowy monster with a single punch.
Before Shouyi could take another step, a high shaman from the Black Teeth Kingdom appeared beside him.
"This is a monster born from the combination of plague and shadow..."
"With a single palm strike, I shattered another shadow that was not yet fully formed," the great shaman explained in a low voice.
"Wherever there is plague and living creatures, these shadowy monsters will appear in endless numbers, slaughtering all living beings."
Upon hearing this, Shouyi immediately turned to look at the other patients.
Sure enough, at the feet of every patient infected with the plague, one could see those writhing shadows.
The more severely affected the patient is, and the closer they are to death, the faster those shadowy monsters take shape.
"This..."
Shouyi was an excellent physician.
But he was clearly not as competent in other areas.
At least when faced with a product of divine power, Shouyi's medical skills are no longer of much use.
"You've done your best. Now it's time for the war against the Black Teeth Kingdom."
Seeing through Shouyi's thoughts at a glance, the Great Shaman took the initiative to comfort him.
If it weren't for the Mountain Folk, led by Shouyi, delaying the arrival of this plague, Fuyou and Yinyi could have accomplished far more than they have now.
At least in the eyes of this great shaman, Shouyi and the others had done more than enough.
This disaster had nothing to do with the Mountain Folk, and he would never allow it to affect the benefactors of the Black Teeth Kingdom.
"No, this is not just a war in the Black Teeth Kingdom."
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, Shouyi did not waver despite the Great Shaman's dissuasion.
On the contrary, seeing patients who could have recovered fall back into the torment of illness, Shouyi's sense of responsibility as a doctor was fully aroused.
"You don't need to protect me; these monsters formed from plague can't kill me."
"Go and inform all the shamans you can contact right now. I'm going to pray to the Celestial Person for blessings, and I need their power."
Upon hearing this, the great shaman was immediately taken aback.
He certainly knew that the Celestial Person was the faith of all the Mountain Folk.
But he also knew that the Celestial Person were merely a belief held by the Mountain Folk.
Unlike other deities, the Hundred Lands Celestial Person never actively interfered with the Mountain Folk's choices.
Even the act of worshipping the statues of the Celestial Person was a spontaneous act by the Mountain Folk, rather than the will of that Celestial Person.
Even assuming the worst, given the current state of the Black Teeth Kingdom, would any external deity really be willing to intervene?
"Go now! What are you waiting for?"
A rare hint of anxiety appeared on Shouyi at the Great Shaman who was still standing there, stunned.
He then disregarded whether the great shaman would follow his instructions.
He immediately returned to his room, intending to retrieve the master copy of the "Epidemic Prevention Medical Gazette".
Because what Shouyi needs to do next is to tell all the Mountain Folk about his decision through the "Epidemic Prevention Medical Gazette" and call on everyone to leave the Black Teeth Kingdom in time.
Shouyi does not force all the Mountain Folk to make the same choice as him.
He was just doing his part, just like before.
"As you wish, I won't hold you back!"
He bowed very respectfully in the direction Shouyi had left, his eyes equally resolute.
If even an outsider has such conviction, how could the high priests, the guardians of this nation, possibly back down in such a time of crisis?
