The disappearance of the bone bird was already a big blow, and soon when it was reported that all the captured hornless men had disappeared, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Zhu Hai, what's going on?" the woman asked the leader of the magic warrior.
Everyone also looked at him.
Zhu Hai frowned, "I, like everyone else, have just heard the report. You ask me, who do I ask? Everyone, there is no need to argue now. I have to go back to investigate this matter and leave."
Zhu Hai turned and left, and the woman followed immediately.
Zhu Hai did not refuse the woman to follow. The woman is Aisha, the leader of Zhongyuan's magic warrior, a very strong but also very fair person. He was worried that there would be no one to witness, in order to avoid being said that they were going down into the abyss to make troubles, it was better to have Aisha with him than nothing.
The first line of defense on the peninsula is composed of fighters from Siyuan, but it is divided into four teams, each of which is managed by a leader from each yuan, and they are rotated every once in a while, and he is the leader of the magic warriors from Xiayuan.
This time so many Hornless people came here just in time for his rotation period. Originally, everyone in Xiayuan thought they were lucky and could get more benefits before the other Sanyuans. Show off!
Fortunately, these hornless people were all imprisoned in Siyuan's common camp, so many people disappeared suddenly, even Lai couldn't blame Xiayuan for all of them. But people disappeared during Xiayuan's defense, and it would be very difficult for Xiayuan to escape this blame.
Guanren's greenhouses, cellars, bridal chambers, etc. are all intact. The guarding soldiers outside didn't hear anything, and it was only when the people who came to deliver food and water to these people realized that they were gone.
Zhu Hai led his men, Aisha and others to investigate for a long time but found no clues. The nearly 1,000 hornless people just disappeared.
Zhu Hai called the person in charge of the interrogation of these hornless people: "Hou Rui, did you find out anything?"
Hou Rui nodded and shook his head again, "Their language is a bit different from ours, and they probably came from afar. I asked a few people, and from what they said, they seem to have indeed come to join us in the Devil's Abyss. But because of communication difficulties, Others, I haven't had time to ask yet."
Zhu Hai expressed his understanding. The magic warrior with good hearing could not hear much because the pronunciation of these people was not the same as theirs.
"Don't you guys think it's too coincidental?" Aisha didn't say anything to blame, but calmly analyzed.
"You think so too?" This is why Zhushi is willing to take Aisha to check together. As long as the common interests of Zhongyuan and everyone are not damaged, Aisha will not be so messy like other leaders.
"You said earlier that these Hornless Men had two leaders? One of them seemed to be a warrior, and the other was probably their great witch? And these two disappeared in the mist?"
"right."
"And there are two bone birds, but one is missing first?"
"right."
"And the bone bird that was left just now suddenly disappeared in front of so many of us, plus these disappeared hornless men, what did you think of?"
Zhu Shi exhaled, "Those two hornless men!"
Aisha nodded, and said solemnly: "Report this matter to the public. Those two people are probably also magic warriors, and they are magic warriors with high magic power. If they really sneak into the abyss, they will not be afraid of the fog and take them away." After killing so many people, I'm afraid our abyss will no longer be as peaceful and safe as before."
"Do you suspect that they are spies sent by the Horned Man?"
"No, I don't know. But whether they're related to the Horned Man or not doesn't bode well."
Not long after Aisha said it was not a good omen, the peninsula shrouded in white mist suddenly became lively.
A large number of birds flew into the sky and made various cheerful calls. They were either jumping on the branches or flying in the sky, as if they were welcoming their king!
The trees in the entire peninsula are glowing with more dazzling vitality, and the fish are jumping out of the water.
Lord Xiayuanyuan suddenly appeared by the Xiayuan Lake, watching the sparkling blue waves and jumping silver lights in the lake and lost his voice.
Lord Zhongyuanyuan, who lived under the cliff, looked up and saw that all the withered vines used as climbing rope ladders had taken root again, and some tender shoots had grown on the withered and yellow vines, so he immediately asked someone to call the great witch.
Zuo Shangyuan found that all the birds he raised flew up into the sky without his control. After trying to communicate with one of the leaders, he was told that "the king is coming". He was shocked and followed the birds to the direction of the forest .
Master Yuan on the right stood by the crater, looking at the blue but bubbling volcanic lake, frowning deeply. Next to him, a wizard with intricate patterns on his face danced a strange dance in the crater.
At the same time, a man who lived in a cliff cave at the bottom of the highest cliff on the outer edge of the peninsula, whose age could not be seen, was covered in strange patterns, and only wore a sarong around his lower body opened his eyes.
The man looked at the calm but blue waves outside the cave, and murmured: "Here we come... Finally we come."
Lord Siyuanyuan can no longer sit still, what is going on with these visions? Is it related to other Yuanzhu
The four of them quickly sent news to meet, but the result of the meeting surprised them.
"Not you?"
"not me!"
"Not you?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Many of the people below couldn't understand what the four Yuan Lords were saying, but all the great witches changed their colors.
"Go to see Lord Sea Witch! Go now!"
Are you going to see that person? Everyone present was a little flustered.
"Each Yuan, prepare the sacrifices." The masters of Siyuanyuan instructed their respective great witches.
The four witches nodded silently.
Everyone was terrified.
On the other side, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan just wanted to make an omen, they meant to let the people on the peninsula feel that they came here without any malice, and at the same time add a little mythological color, but Yan Mo asked Jiu Feng for help , After making a wish with the power of will, the development of the matter broke away from their initial "little movements" and began to move in a direction they could not imagine.
In the evening, the Lord of Siyuanyuan, the Witcher of Siyuan, and many important figures appeared at the highest point of the peninsula, which was also on the edge of the cliff facing the sea.
Four great witches came forward wearing masks, set up a sacrificial altar on the edge of the cliff, cut the throats of the sacrificial animals, and the four masters of the abyss threw them down the cliff together.
Afterwards, the four great witches chanted loudly on the top of the cliff. The four of them each held different musical instruments to beat. Some held drums, some held bells, and the other two each held a sounding object that could not be identified as a musical instrument.
The singing of the four musical instruments and the four great witches sounded a strange rhythm in the sea breeze. This rhythm gradually became faster, as if calling for something.
Underneath, the sea water was tumbling violently, hitting the cliff with great force. In this dangerous situation, a figure climbed up the cliff like an ape.
The figure flipped to the top of the cliff and stood there, the scepter made of a huge fishbone was leaning on the ground, and the sea breeze blew up his tattered sarong, revealing his extremely thin and dark body.
"Sea Witch!" Everyone knelt down, including the four Yuan Lords.
The four great witches also retreated into the crowd and knelt down.
The man known as the sea witch turned his back on the crowd, facing the turbulent sea, letting the sea wind blow his body.
For a long time, no one stood up, and no one spoke.
Suddenly, the sea witch held up his bone staff and yelled a few strange roars towards the sea.
"call!"
The raging waves subsided suddenly, as if the water surface was flattened by a pair of invisible hands.
The fierce sea breeze was still raging, but the nearby sea was as calm as a mirror.
The seabirds vomited and circled in the sky, as if they were foretelling something to everyone.
The sea witch raised a hand, aimed at a flying seabird in the sky, and grabbed it suddenly. The seabird fell and was caught in the palm of his hand.
"Crack." The sea witch twisted off the seabird's head, and put its beak close to the dead seabird's neck to suck its blood.
After a while, the sea witch threw away the seabird, and then slowly turned around.
The sea witch's head and face are covered with distorted blue paint of different shades. There is no hair on the head and face. His eyes are also blue, from light to dark. The whites of the eyes are light blue. Ice blue, the center of the eyes is dark blue as dark as black. Only one lip stained with blood was abnormally red.
"Here, why don't you come out?" The sea witch's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
The people kneeling down below were puzzled and looked at each other.
The sea witch sneered strangely, and waved to the crowd kneeling down on him.
A teenager was pushed out, staggered a few steps and fell in front of everyone.
The sea witch stretched out his palm and held it.
The young man grabbed his own neck and yelled as if he was lifted by a pair of invisible hands.
The boy's body just floated to the side of the sea witch.
The sea witch lowered his head and sniffed the boy's neck, tilted his head, opened his mouth, and bit down!
The boy's eyes widened suddenly! His body struggled subconsciously, but soon he tried to calm his fear and try to relax himself.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan, who followed all the way, did not expect such a development, and it was too late to come out and stop it.
Yuan Zhan didn't know the other party's customs, so he didn't want to save people immediately. But Yan Mo was forced by the guide, so he could only come out to act as a rescue messenger.
"stop!"
Two figures suddenly appeared between the crowd and the sea witch, startling the kneeling crowd.
Zhu Hai who followed saw the two of them clearly, stared straight, and hurriedly told his Yuan Lord their identities in a low voice.
Others also heard that the masters of the abyss did not act rashly, the sea witch was here, and noticed the two of them, no matter how powerful these two were, they would not be able to escape.
"Gudu, Gudu." The sea witch drank the young man's blood, took a few sips before letting go of the young man, and threw him back into the crowd.
The sorcerer who caught the boy quickly helped the boy stop the bleeding and wrap his wounds. Judging by his proficiency, he had done it many times.
Then the other Sanyuan also offered a sacrifice, all of them were healthy and beautiful boys and girls, and let the sea witches drink their blood respectively.
"Please don't do that." Yan Mo stopped perfunctorily. Seeing that the sea witch didn't harm the life of the sacrifice, he didn't intend to force his way out. Besides, the four sacrifices all looked proud. If he jumped out to stop them, they might complain that he didn't let them sacrifice.
"This is voluntary." Sure enough, someone spoke up.
Yan Mo shut up. Anyway, as long as he shows the intention to stop, the guide will not punish him. If the blue-faced demon hurt the lives of the four sacrifices, he might have to try to save them. Since the other party didn't have one, he didn't have to worry about it.
After the sea witch finished eating, he wiped the blood from his lips, and smiled ghostly at Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan, "Here we come..."
"Well, here we come." Yan Mo replied casually.
But his casual answer seemed to have opened some mysterious mechanism, and the blue-faced demon suddenly chanted: "Thousands of birds pay homage, withered trees are in spring, fish jump and water rolls, and there is no wind and waves. You know that these five visions mean what?"
Yan Mo counted with his fingers, the pilgrimage of thousands of birds is related to the nine winds, and the spring of a dead tree should come from his wish power. The latter three visions were probably caused by Yuan Zhan
"What does it mean?" Yuan Zhan asked. The accent of the people here is different from that of people near Wugan City, but with Yan Mo by his side, he is not afraid of not being able to understand.
The sea witch took a step forward and raised his bone staff.
The kneeling people stood up.
The sea witch pointed at the crowd with his bone stick, and said in a dark voice: "The master of the upper left abyss can control the birds and sit and guard the ten thousand bird abyss on the left. The master of the middle abyss can control the plants and sit and guard the ten thousand plants in the middle abyss. The master of the lower abyss , control the water, guard the lower Yuanhu Lake. The upper right Yuanzhu, control the fire, guard the upper right Huoyuan Lake. And I... "
The sea witch pointed at herself with the bone stick, "I, the sea witch, guard the abyss near the sea."
Yan Mo thought about the abilities of the five people, and found that they coincided with the five visions mentioned by the sea witch.
"It seems that you understand." The sea witch laughed hoarsely, "Yes, each of us guarding the abyss has mastered a kind of ability, and can make the corresponding vision appear. But... there is one thing you must not agree with. I understand, because I don't want to take care of things, and the Lord Siyuanyuan doesn't obey anyone, so long ago, the first generation of Siyuanyuan Lord here and I made an oath to the world, and we swear that if one day the five things I said before When the visions appear at the same time, it is the day when the four abysses merge."
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan: Hehe, what a coincidence.
The sea witch is also smiling, but his smile is much weirder because of the different shades of blue paint, "Originally we made such an oath just because we thought that one day if the five visions can appear at the same time, it must be recommended by everyone. Or recognized a leader, because only in this way, the master of Siyuanyuan and I will use the ability to make the vision appear at the same time. But no one thought that one day these five visions would really appear at the same time, but it would be the same as the five of us It doesn't matter at all."
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan didn't know what to say. They really just wanted to make their appearance more popular. They had no ambition to dominate the Demon Abyss at all. They could swear to the ancestor gods on this point.
Yuan Zhan grabbed Yan Mo's hand, facing the sea witch, "What are your plans?"
"Plan?" The sea witch said hoarsely and straightforwardly: "Since I have made an oath, I must keep the oath. I don't want to die yet."
Yan Mo guessed how long this person had lived. He said just now that he was with the four Yuan Lords of the first generation? Didn't he live from the first generation to the present? And how many years have the legend of the devil abyss in the horned population been circulating
Yuan Zhan remained calm, "So you plan to respect us as the leader? Give us this peninsula?"
The crowd in Siyuan was a little commotion, but Lord Siyuanyuan's expression was quite calm, and he couldn't tell what they were thinking.
"I don't know who you are and why you came here, but since the god wants you to be the leaders of our demon abyss, I will not disobey it. But..." The sea witch's eyes flicked across the faces of the four abyss masters.
Neither Yuan Zhan nor Yan Mo spoke, they just looked at them.
Three sides, three points, just form an equilateral triangle.
"Wait, let me think about it..." Sea Witch raised his head, as if he was really trying to remember, "Yes! I remembered that the original Siyuanyuan Lord proposed to me before he died, because the oath was made by them immediately. Now, they don't know how the abyss will develop in the future, so they begged me to agree that if one day someone is born in response to the vision, but the four masters of the abyss refuse to accept the time, then that person wants to become the leader of the abyss. Master, you must complete a request from each master of Siyuanyuan."
Lord Siyuanyuan's face immediately relaxed when he heard the last words of the sea witch.
Yuan Zhan smiled, "You mean, if we want to be the masters of this abyss and convince you, we must meet four requirements? Haven't you?"
The sea witch looked at Yan Mo with weird eyes, "I don't have one. If I can make five kinds of visions appear at the same time, I have already met my requirements. All you have to do is to meet the conditions of Lord Siyuanyuan. What do you say? "
The sea witch turned his gaze to the people in Siyuan.
The masters of Siyuan looked at each other, and finally the master of Xiayuan said, "We will abide by our oath just like you, but as you always said, they must also fulfill the four requirements we put forward by Siyuan."
"What about the two of you? Do you want to give up, or do you want to take a challenge?" Sea Witch stared at Yan Mo again.
Yan Mo felt a little weird.
Yuan Zhan's thoughts changed, he lowered his head and asked Yan Mo with his eyes: What do you say
Yan Mo communicated directly: Since they want to give us a piece of land, why not? Take it first and see what they ask for. If it is difficult to complete, then let's talk.
Yuan Zhan knew what to do, so he knew what to do, "We are here to help the hornless people live better, to be able to resist the aggression and oppression of the horned people, and to establish a free force that belongs exclusively to the hornless people. If you have This means, then we have no problem taking you. But if you just want to hide a corner, and only want to use the evil name of the Devil's Abyss, the natural terrain and the layer of white mist to defend the horned people, then we would rather find someone else to place other people without horns. horn man."
"What a big tone!" Yuanzhu of Youshangyuan sneered, "Help the hornless people? Resist the horned people? Establish the free forces of the hornless people? Who do you think you are? You are also willing for the Lord! But can you?"
"Is it possible? It's not just a matter of talking about it." Yuan Zhan replied lightly.
"You're right, can you just talk about it with your mouth? Since you want to lead us to resist the horned man, let's finish one thing first. As long as you finish this thing, you will be considered as finished. Yuan’s request, we won’t even frown at what you ask us to do in the future!”
Compared with the excitement of Yuanzhu Youshangyuan, Yuan Zhan was always calm, "What's the matter?"
Master Yuan on the upper right: "We don't have a big bone tool maker in the abyss, no, let alone a big bone tool maker, there is no intermediate bone tool maker. If you want to resist the horned people, you must understand their bone tools. If you or You can make a hornless person a great bone maker recognized by horned people, that will be useful to us hornless people. And as far as we know, there is one month left, and the bone tooling contest held every five years will be held It was held in the King City of the Horned Man. At that time, it was also the best time for all the bone masters to obtain the bone master card, and almost all the great bone masters won the highest ranking in this competition and were recognized by everyone. The name of the great bonesmith and the domino."
Yuan Zhan's expression was slightly weird: "In other words, what you want us to do is to bring back a recognized hornless human skeleton master?"
"Yes! There must be a big bone maker's domino with a man with horns, don't try to deceive us, we can still recognize this."
Yuan Zhan rubbed his nose and asked Yan Mo sideways, "Are you sure?"
Yan Mo shook his head, "It's hard to say, this is a master bone tooler, I need some luck at my current level."
"Well, I don't think you are lacking in luck." Yuan Zhanle simply nodded to Master Youshangyuan, "Okay, I will accept this matter. If you have any other requests from Sanyuan, please tell them. Don't mention the things that only God can do, or I won't mind beating you to your heart's content!"
