Chapter 457: The Beast World's Charmer (22)
Saint?
They had never heard such a strange name before. The people of the Southern Tribe looked at each other in confusion. It was very strange. They had originally felt very tired, but when the saint appeared...
Such a tired feeling.
It's been diluted a lot.
But they didn't dare to look at the female. The snake coiled around her was too evil, as if it was desecrating this holiness.
Even though the female had a beauty that amazed them, she was as poisonous and deadly as poppy to them.
Dare not look.
Don't dare to contact.
Hao suppressed his physical fatigue and bowed slightly to the person from the sacrificial tribe.
"Lady Saint, please save my people."
Anyone who can be called an adult must be the leader. Although he is not clear about the rules of the sacrificial tribe, it is obvious that this Saint Lady is the one in power in the sacrificial tribe.
Hao didn't know the other party's identity.
But he noticed that when the Saint appeared, he felt a strong sense of fatigue in his body, and the voice in his mind that kept beckoning him to kill.
Gradually calmed down.
"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded slightly in agreement. The leader of the Southern Tribe, Hao, instantly became delighted and couldn't help but look up at her.
only.
Hao's joy didn't last for two seconds. After seeing the lazy giant python wriggling on the girl's shoulder, his smile froze.
This snake...
It looks really weird, as if it has wisdom.
"Come in."
But Qiao Xi didn't care about his expression, but gestured for these people to follow her.
Hao put away his smile.
Several members of the southern tribe nearby were extremely excited. They supported each other and staggered behind Qiao Xi into the wooden house next to them.
Clarence has no plans to leave.
Qiao Xi naturally let him do what he wanted. After all, it was not a shameful method.
"us……"
The leader of the southern tribe was a little hesitant and looked at Qiao Xi cautiously, staying far away and not daring to get too close.
"Everyone sit down."
Qiao Xi glanced over briefly, and these people from the Southern Tribe hesitated and slowly sat down, looking at Qiao Xi blankly.
They asked rashly.
But the other party agreed immediately, and even Hao couldn't figure out what was going on.
Demonic energy invades the flesh and blood of mortals.
They are the easiest to expel because these primitive people have no spiritual power and their bodies are not made up of spiritual power.
The invading demonic energy not only temporarily enhanced their strength.
It will only make them confused and lose their rationality.
Qiao Xi tapped lightly in the air, and the spiritual energy flowing from her fingertips wrapped around the people of the Southern Tribe.
Hao had no idea what was going on.
I just felt my body suddenly become cool, and then it was like drinking a glass of ice water in the hot summer, relieving fatigue.
That’s how it feels now.
They have no spiritual power.
Naturally, spiritual energy cannot be seen.
But Clarence could see that, unlike the Grey Eagle and Black Wolf tribes, the White Snake tribe was the first to discover the secret of spiritual energy, and this secret was called the Breath of Faith.
They consciously absorb the breath of faith.
The tribe members' physical strength has increased.
They barely stepped into the threshold of cultivation. The more they absorbed, the stronger their foundation became. Therefore, the people of the White Snake Tribe could see and feel the spiritual energy.
Clarence's scarlet pupils were filled with obsession.
He wrapped his arms around Qiao Xi's.
He could not only see but also feel the trajectory of the flowing aura of faith. This power was not the weak and mottled power of the exotic beasts that needed to be extracted.
The power of the saint.
It was a pure essence, clear and clean. The scent alone was enough to drive Clarence crazy with excitement.
The snake is moving.
The head that was originally on Qiao Xi's shoulder moved away, and the swimming snake body curled up and climbed onto Qiao Xi's back. The giant python's body suddenly grew in size at that moment and could no longer be controlled.
The snake's body, as thick as a bucket, suddenly expanded.
As the size of the body increased instantly, the sense of danger also increased instantly.
Several people from the Southern Tribe witnessed this scene.
Their pupils shrank in shock as they stared in disbelief at the enormous white snake, which was larger than normal. Its wriggling body almost filled the entire cabin, and it seemed ready to move.
The scarlet pupils were filled with cruelty and greed.
He stared at the pure and flawless saint with fascination, while evil snakes surrounded her, their huge heads rubbing against her long skirt.
"Clarence, stop it."
After exorcising the evil spirit, Qiao Xi withdrew her hand, frowned slightly, and looked down at the restless snake beside her.
“Hiss—”
The snake came close to her with its forked core spitting out, and pressed against the girl's cheek in a flattering manner.
But Qiao Xi coldly avoided him.
The people of the Southern Tribe felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the wriggling snakes around them. They had never seen such beasts before, and they didn't know that there were beasts that could control their own changes!
And this snake gave them a sense of oppression.
It was more powerful and terrifying than any beast they had ever seen.
The heart of Hao, the leader of the Southern Tribe, was burning with excitement. Everything he saw in the sacrificial tribe completely overturned his cognition.
They didn't know what the saint had done.
All they could sense was that the moment the Saint withdrew her hand, the heavy feeling of fatigue that lingered on them also disappeared.
Several people from the southern tribe did not dare to look at the snake.
Instead, he subconsciously touched his body, as if checking for anything unusual.
Qiao Xi over there.
She raised her delicate hand to push Clarence away, pulled down the snake that was wrapped around her legs, and looked at the people over there.
"Your illness is cured. As long as you don't get scratched by those demons, you won't be infected."
"Demon?"
Hao looked a little confused. It was the first time he heard this word.
Does the saint refer to those infected patients?
"Then they..."
The Southern tribe leader was a little hesitant, perhaps because they had arrived early and hadn't lost their minds. But those of their tribe who had previously been contagious...
Qiao Xi tilted her head.
"You can bring me here for treatment."
She didn't have the time to go and find them one by one. If these indigenous tribes could capture people and send them to her, it would be much more convenient. After all, she was not a charity, so she didn't have to go and rescue them one by one in person.
That would be too much work.
As long as the people from their tribe can send people over, they will be rescued. As for the remaining people who have not been captured, their number is relatively small and they are scattered all over the place. Qiao Xi will go there in person when the time comes.
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
Hao, the chief of the Southern tribe, choked up a little and quickly saluted, and the Southern tribe members next to him also followed suit.
"Our tribe can provide whatever you need..."
"Need not."
Hao asked for something in return, but Qiao Xi rejected him indifferently. Several members of the Southern Tribe looked at each other, looking somewhat embarrassed.
How can I repay the life-saving grace?
"You just need to spread the news and let the people in other tribes know that we are here to help them."
Qiao Xi said again.
When she was gathering her spiritual power, Clarence also calmed down, but he still had no intention of shrinking his size. He just lazily rested his head beside Qiao Xi.
"Okay, I understand."
Although the leader of the southern tribe was still a little confused, he still agreed decisively.
The sacrificial tribe is in the middle of the forest.
The distance from the other four tribes was neither far nor close, so when several people from the southern tribe walked out of the forest and were about to return to their tribe, they still felt it was a little unreal.
They were silent all the way.
It was not until he saw his tribe from afar that Hao discovered his last words that had been left there and no one had found them.
"leader……"
The people from the Southern Tribe suddenly came to their senses, as if waking from a dream, and looked at the wooden board in Hao's hand, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
"We don't have to die."
Hao stroked the wooden board and whispered softly, and the slender figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
I just felt that touch of white.
As early as the first stunning sight, it was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Beautiful yet deadly.
It looks weak and harmless but is actually very aggressive.
She was a female he had never seen before, and a woman he had never come into contact with. No matter how strong and talented the females in the tribe were, under her godlike, holy, elegant, yet indifferent gaze, they were all gone.
Not worth mentioning.
That is a gap that cannot be crossed by ordinary spirits and is out of reach.
But it is precisely this dangerous, beautiful and powerful woman who is more likely to arouse a man's desire to conquer her. Even if he knows that touching her will lead to death, if he touches her weak spot, his life may be in danger.
But such a terrible thought.
There was still a moment when it appeared in Hao's mind.
The same was true for some of the other southern tribesmen. After a moment of admiration, they felt a fleeting urge to blaspheme. Their bad natures were stirring, but under the threat of their lives, they could not muster the slightest impulse.
Such a woman is terrible.
Yet, he possesses a charm that can drive everyone crazy.
Other people from the Southern Tribe didn't think so. They simply felt pure gratitude towards Qiao Xi and admired his powerful strength for saving them without any direct contact.
Everyone in the group had different thoughts.
But what remains unchanged is the worship of that powerful force that makes them tremble.
The next day.
The people of the southern tribe returned safely.
The rest of the tribesmen warmly welcomed and celebrated their return, but the news from the western tribe brought back by the chief of the southern tribe made most of the tribesmen fall silent.
But they don't just have bad news.
Hao, the leader of the southern tribe, said that they were able to return safely this time because the people of the sacrificial tribe helped them and cured the disease they were originally infected with, so they were able to return safely.
The news came out.
The people of the southern tribe were in an uproar.
They received news from the northern tribe in the morning, saying that the leader of the northern tribe had also been infected with the disease and asked them to be careful.
The people of the southern tribe were naturally very worried.
After seeing their leader return safely, they gradually felt relieved. However, they did not expect that their leader's safe return was due to the help of the sacrificial tribe.
And most importantly.
The sacrificial tribe actually has the ability to fight this disease!
They felt unbelievable.
The leader had previously sent people to contact the sacrificial tribe, but they had always been rejected. Now this unknown disease had begun to spread, and the Western Tribe had fallen.
The leaders and members of their southern tribe were also implicated.
But he was saved by the people of the sacrificial tribe.
The people of the southern tribe were shocked and excited at the same time, because their leader said that the saint lady of the sacrificial tribe was willing to treat the infected people, but they needed to send the people to the sacrificial tribe.
The news spread from the southern tribes.
The Northern Tribe was in a gloomy mood. Ever since Su Moqing learned that Qi was infected, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The elders of the tribe were arguing fiercely over who would be the next leader.
Even though Yu and Yi were the oldest of Qi's children, they were only ten years old. Now that their father had passed away, the two children, who had not yet grown up, were very confused.
Su Moqing protected them.
He argued with the elders and had no intention of giving up.
No matter what, we have to try to find a way to save it. After all, it's a living being. How can we just give up?
At noon, Qi and a few other tribesmen were conscious.
It's not completely hopeless.
The Northern Tribe was now in disarray, and they didn't know what to do. The next leader had to be the descendant of the most powerful warrior, unless the second-best warrior could defeat the first.
Otherwise the rule will not change.
Su Moqing also had a headache. She had no extra time and energy to think about other things.
These annoying elders alone are enough to make her anxious and overwhelmed.
Qi is rarely awake.
Su Moqing had never encountered such a disease before. In her original world, she was just an ordinary person. She had no impressive status and didn't understand these things. She had no idea what to do.
The clan doctor was helpless.
Seeing Qi in so much pain, he even said that if it didn't work, he would kill him.
Su Moqing just felt heartbroken.
The people of the northern tribe were also very negative. Even the tribe doctor said there was no way. They had even less hope. As time passed, everyone watched the sky gradually become quieter.
A faint hope in my heart.
Along with the few tribesmen who were tied up outside and became quiet, they were gradually enveloped by cold despair and deathly silence.
The people of the northern tribe stood together in front of the tribe.
Looking at their former leader and companion.
Su Moqing couldn't help but cover her face and cry. Human life is really fragile. Especially in such a backward era, a little disease can quickly eliminate them.
No matter how strong a person is.
Nor can they resist the ravages of disease.
Lu comforted Su Moqing beside them. They were helpless and could only watch it all happen quietly, feeling sad for their own incompetence and mediocrity.
They have no power to change this.
In the quiet night.
All that could be heard were the roars of the tribesmen outside, and the sounds of them struggling with the ropes. No one could sleep, and the people of the Northern Tribe were disheartened.
"We put..."
The second soldier moved his lips and spoke with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
The rest of the tribe anticipated what he was going to say, and their faces were filled with sorrow. As they were immersed in this atmosphere, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
"People from the Northern Tribe—there's good news!"
An urgent shouting voice came from afar. It seemed that the other party was running over with all his might. Even though he was panting, he was still shouting loudly.
"The infected people can be saved!"
When he ran to the front of the people from the northern tribe, everyone was shocked to find that they were from the southern tribe.
Northern and Southern Tribes.
Even the straight-line distance was the longest, and it would take them quite a while to get here. Even visiting required advance notice, or provocateurs would be executed. However, now, the people of the Northern Tribe ignored these rules.
"What?!"
An elder from the northern tribe excitedly walked over and grabbed the southern tribe member's shoulders, his nervous expression full of disbelief.
He was so excited that he couldn't even control his strength.
The man from the southern tribe was caught and it hurt a lot.
"There's hope! Everyone infected can be saved! The holy woman, the leader of the sacrificial tribe, can heal the infected!"
The southern tribe member took a deep breath and repeated it in a shout.
This time.
Everyone heard it clearly.
The previously silent and hushed crowd suddenly erupted in a cacophony of voices. Beneath the unbelievable shock lay excitement, ecstasy, and the hope that had finally been realized, having not been completely annihilated!
"Are you telling the truth...?"
The trembling voice of another elder of the tribe came from the side.
He kept muttering to himself, as if to confirm the truth of the news. The Southern Tribe member nodded vigorously, "It's true! Our leader and his people were healed by that Saint!"
That's why.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, the Southern Tribe leader, after returning, did not even bother to celebrate with his tribesmen. He quickly issued an order, instructing some tribesmen to go out and deliver the news.
so.
The tribesman responsible for conveying the news to the Northern Tribe also understood the seriousness of the situation and rushed over without delay.
He is considered one of the best warriors in the southern tribe.
He was the one who notified the farthest northern tribe, and even though they set out in the morning, they still arrived near dawn.
"That's great, that's great..."
"We're saved, the leader is saved!"
The people of the Northern Tribe were so excited that they huddled together and cried uncontrollably. Just knowing they could be saved was enough. No matter what the price, they were willing to pay.
"Lu, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Su Moqing's tear-stained little face still showed disbelief. The excited shouting of the people from the surrounding northern tribe almost drowned out her thoughts.
Su Moqing only felt a dryness in his eyes.
She stood there in a daze for a moment. Lu, who was standing next to her, also came to her senses after being shocked. She looked at her and nodded firmly.
"You're not dreaming, this is real. The Sacrifice Tribe can save them, and Qi will be fine."
"That's great, wow..."
Infected by the emotions of the people around her, Su Moqing covered her face and cried again, but this time the tears she shed were tears of joy.
It was originally a quiet and peaceful night.
Drowned by the voices of the northern tribe members who had experienced great ups and downs, the southern tribe member who was responsible for conveying the message was also left behind to rest.
And early in the morning.
The emotions of the people in the northern tribe stabilized.
The man from the southern tribe also found an opportunity to speak.
The sacrificial tribe provides free treatment and does not charge them anything, but they are required to send people to the sacrificial tribe.
The people of the Northern Tribe were even more shocked when they learned this.
Not charging anything?
They became even more curious about the mysterious sacrificial tribe. The house that first appeared deep in the forest used technology that surpassed the wooden sheds they had built.
When I first discovered it by accident.
No one knew that it was a sacrificial tribe, and some people wanted to take it away privately.
Until the guards of the sacrificial tribe appeared.
To them, the Sacrifice Tribe was like a gift from heaven, appearing out of thin air as if it were a call from fate. And now, it was even more so, and they became more and more concerned about the Sacrifice Tribe.
Who is the holy woman of the sacrificial tribe?
How will they be treated?
The people of the northern tribe had so many questions they wanted to ask, and the people of the southern tribe were overwhelmed by the questions and could only try hard to recall the description of their chief.
Share what they learned.
Everything about the tribe’s sacrifices was relayed.
"The leader of the sacrificial tribe is a female. I heard from the tribe leader that she is a dangerous and beautiful female."
The southern tribe member said.
After all, he had never actually seen it with his own eyes, so he certainly didn't know how to describe it in detail.
But Su Moqing felt a little concerned when she heard this.
As far as she knows.
In such a primitive tribe, the leaders were all men, and the strongest elite were the leaders. She had also heard of the mysterious sacrificial tribe, and the northern tribe had sent people there.
It is because we know that the tribe builds wooden houses for sacrifice.
Su Moqing then thought about following suit.
And now the leader of that tribe is a woman? This made her even more concerned. She hadn't even considered the scenario of a woman being in charge of the tribe. Would the men under her be able to obey her?
How to make up for the difference in physical strength?
"The leader is female?"
The people of the northern tribe were also surprised and shocked. They had never heard of a woman being a leader.
"Yes."
The man from the southern tribe also nodded. He had not heard of it either.
So when the people of their southern tribe heard their leader say that a woman was leading the sacrificial tribe, they were also shocked.
"It's a bit strange..."
"Yeah, but it's good that we can save the leader."
The people of the Northern Tribe murmured to each other, only slightly surprised by the incident. They didn't pay much attention to it and continued to pack up their things.
Outside the tribe.
They were the infected tribesmen with dazed and dazed expressions.
They planned to wait until noon, when all the tribesmen had regained consciousness, and then go to the sacrificial tribe together. There would still be enough time.
otherwise.
Even those tribesmen who were in a trance would still want to attack them if they got closer. And the leader himself was the strongest warrior, and no one was their opponent.
Taking them away by force is unrealistic.
It would be better to wait until the midday sun is at its scorching peak and they regain consciousness and can control themselves before going.
It's risky though.
But it's better than doing nothing.
The southern tribe member also left when they were about to depart. By noon, Qi and the other tribe members were no longer in a trance.
Su Moqing and the people from the Northern Tribe also came to them and told them about the tribal sacrifice.
"...They can treat this disease?"
Qi regained consciousness, and his hoarse voice still showed fatigue that could not be concealed.
Ever since being infected.
Not only did his consciousness and thinking become dull, but his body also felt unprecedented fatigue. The rest of the time, he was in a daze and couldn't control himself at all.
Even more so at night.
They have no idea what is happening to them.
However, when they regained consciousness and saw his fellow tribesmen weeping and grieving, Qi knew that his own situation must not be much better.
And now.
However, the tribesmen carefully untied them and said they wanted to go together to offer sacrifices to the tribe.
