She is nearly ten feet tall and very slim.
The indigenous creatures that loomed in the mist reminded Lu Yi of stick insects. They stood in the mist, their hazy figures vaguely visible, and their waists were probably only as thick as an ordinary person's arm.
Their feet and arms were exceptionally long, with their feet accounting for about 70% of their total body length, and their arms hanging almost to the ground from their shoulders.
The fog rolled, and several strange creatures slowly walked out and approached the Five Elements Reversal Formation set up by Lu Yi.
Under the residual power released by the formation, the fog around several creatures was dispelled, revealing their true appearance.
Tall and thin, with a shiny black complexion, his body was densely covered with thumb-sized triangular scales, and at the core of each scale, there was a faintly visible dark red rune the size of a mung bean. The densely packed dark red runes seemed to be wriggling all the time, making people's scalps numb for no reason.
These guys have facial features similar to those of ordinary people, with normal eyes, but sunken noses with two round holes facing upwards, which are their noses, giving their faces a strong animality.
Their cheeks were also covered with scales, and on their foreheads grew two sharp, protruding horns more than half a foot long.
These sharp corners were dark in color and translucent, clearly made of some kind of crystal. In the translucent corners, there were rolling runes that rolled like flowing clouds. As the runes flowed, the turbid spiritual energy of the world from all directions was constantly absorbed by the corners.
Lu Yi could feel that about 30% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was sucked into the sharp horns was absorbed by the bodies of these strange creatures, constantly consolidating and strengthening their physical strength. From scales to tendons and bones, their bodies were constantly and naturally evolving and growing with every breath.
Of the other 70% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that entered their bodies, a portion remained in their horns, constantly enhancing the power of the horns, making their horns denser, tougher, and sharper, and the strange power contained in them became more and more powerful.
The largest amount, about 40% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, flowed directly into the hearts of these strange creatures.
Even through his body, Lu Yi could sense that in the hearts of these strange creatures, there was a ball of blazing fire beating.
With vast vital energy and surging blood, who knows how much spiritual energy the hearts of these guys have stored and transformed, they have become top-notch treasures of heaven and earth - at least among the military supplies carried by Tiezhen and others, and those well-preserved rare medicinal materials from the official warehouse of Tiemenguan, Lu Yi has never seen any treasure that can be compared with the hearts of these guys.
There was a hint of coldness flashing in Lu Yi's eyes.
If these creatures were to encounter the alchemy masters of Liangyi Tiandao Sect, they would not have a good end. They would either be hunted down and their hearts cut out for medicine... or, if they could be kept in captivity, they would be fed and well-fed by the alchemy masters, and after a certain number of years, their stomachs would be cut open and turned into raw materials for alchemy.
Through the Five Elements Reversal Array with a light mist flowing, several indigenous holy spirits who walked out of the thick fog tilted their heads and looked curiously at the little people who were rolling and running around in the array, and then falling to the ground and twitching.
They exchanged a few words quickly in a strange language that sounded like birdsong and had the harsh sound of metal colliding. Then they raised their heads and looked towards Lu Yi and others on the city wall.
Lu Yi pointed his finger at an indigenous creature in the front.
The caracal jumped up and landed on a heavy crossbow. He used his fat body to smash the crossbow's mechanism hard. Along with the dull roar of the mechanism, twisted and winding runes on the bow arm of the crossbow lit up. The bow arm suddenly jumped, and the terrifying force drove the incredibly elastic bowstring, fiercely projecting the spear-like crossbow arrow from the crossbow.
When the caracal jumped up, he tilted his butt and adjusted the direction of the crossbow.
Otherwise, isn't it said that the most cunning and sly among the five uncles is the caracal?
The bed crossbow tilted, and three crossbow arrows lined up in a row flashed a cold light, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and fiercely stabbed towards the indigenous creature standing in the front.
The native creature suddenly raised his head, raised his right hand, and his palm, which was as sharp as a dagger and had only four fingers, chopped hard at the crossbow arrow coming towards him.
With a "hiss" sound!
After being blessed by the caracal, the crossbow arrow, which had increased in sharpness, was split into two pieces by the indigenous creature.
Without even a spark flying, the three crossbow arrows turned into six pieces, which passed smoothly and evenly past the indigenous creature and stabbed heavily into the ground behind him.
Six large pits exploded on the ground. The crossbow arrows penetrated the ground seven or eight feet deep. The gun barrels exposed outside vibrated violently, making a sharp "buzzing" sound, which lasted for a while before stopping completely.
"Squeak~Snap!"
The indigenous creature who was hit by the crossbow arrow screamed, and he suddenly jumped up, his body bounced more than a hundred feet high, drew an arc, and jumped towards the top of the city.
With this jump, according to his jumping ability, he could jump at least 20 to 30 miles. From his position, he could easily land on the top of the city.
However, Lu Yi waved his right hand, and five-colored light flowed in the Five Elements Reversal Array. The area covered by the array expanded outward, and the sky and the earth were in chaos and upside down. The jumping indigenous creature staggered in the air and was directly drawn into the array.
The world turned upside down, and the natives jumped up and dived heavily to the ground.
With a loud bang, the guy's head fell to the ground, causing a large amount of mud and sparks to explode, and a large hole with a diameter of ten feet was smashed into the ground. Many small people nearby were shaken and flew high, spitting out blood.
The tall and thin native got up from the ground crookedly. He shook his head vigorously and looked around in confusion at the suddenly unfamiliar world. Blue fields, white clouds, gentle breeze, drizzle, and even a faint floral scent transformed from the power of green wood in the air...
In this primitive, wild, turbid, and chaotic world, such a scene was like the creation of the world, which directly overturned the cognition of this indigenous creature. He looked around in astonishment, staggered around in circles, and then danced and screamed.
He couldn't see through the formation where his people were standing.
He just waved his arms and legs randomly in the direction where he thought his tribesmen were, screaming at the top of his lungs.
Outside the formation, several of his tribesmen took a few steps back at the same time. The triangular black scales on their faces stood up one by one, vibrating at high speed like bee wings, making a continuous "buzzing" sound. It was obvious that they were extremely nervous.
Footsteps were heard in the thick fog, and more than thirty tall and thin natives slowly walked out.
There was a scarlet light flashing in their eyes, and they stared straight at Lu Yi and others on the wall with sinister malice - although they had no idea what the Five Elements Reversal Formation was, it did not prevent them from knowing that all this weirdness was related to these strange creatures on the wall that looked tender and should taste good!
These guys had strong instinctive desires, and they even conveyed them directly and rudely to Lu Yi and others through their eyes.
These natives, based on their instincts and intuition, judged that Lu Yi and others should be "soft and delicious", "sweet and juicy" "top-quality ingredients"... Therefore, they were full of "appetite" for Lu Yi and others. The only thought in their minds now was to rush up the city wall, tear Lu Yi and others into pieces, and taste the fragrance of their flesh and blood.
Such a strong desire.
Such unabashed wildness.
Lu Yi and others felt the various thoughts conveyed in the eyes of these guys. Many of them subconsciously got goose bumps all over their bodies, tensed their muscles, and almost shot the crossbows in their hands at these guys.
Communication is impossible.
Reconciliation is impossible.
These are a group of strange creatures who are extremely arrogant, insane by nature, and unreasonably strong.
With a buzzing sound.
Just as these creatures were standing outside the city, shouting and yelling at Lu Yi and others, the city foundation under their feet shook slightly, and the city wall thickened again by more than ten feet. Because of the thickening of the city wall, a part of the defensive restrictions inside the wall had been outlined, and on the surface of the city wall that was hundreds of feet high, giant pillars with thunder-wrapped patterns continued to meander out.
This is a thunder array of heavenly punishment.
If a powerful enemy attacks the city, the defenders only need to activate the large formation, and countless thunders will roar down and attack the enemy.
This kind of defensive ban is much more lethal than the heavy crossbows on the city walls.
However, although this kind of restriction has great destructive power, the consumption is also terrifying... Ten thousand thunders can only last for a cup of tea, and it takes a long time to reabsorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store power again.
The official government of the Supreme Taichu Heaven has paid attention to the pioneering team, and the defensive measures possessed by these city foundations are quite good.
Although it consumes a huge amount of energy, as the city foundation continues to grow, as the city walls continue to thicken, and as internal restrictions are continuously completed, various restrictions are constantly generated, the offensive and defensive capabilities will become stronger and stronger.
Everyone felt more at ease. Looking at the dozens of indigenous creatures shouting on the city wall, Zhou Laodao even had the interest to stick out half of his body and waved his fist at them: "Grandson, come..."
Zhou Laodao's head sank slightly, and a large parrot descended from the sky and sat on his head. It flapped its wings and started shouting, "Hey, grandsons outside the city, yes, you, gray grandsons... Look at your shabby appearance... Did your real father accidentally spray you on a stick insect? Your real mother is not a human, but an insect, right?"
"Oh, you all look so pitiful... Look at your thin arms and legs. It's a pity that you don't have enough legs, only two legs... If you had a hundred or eighty more, you could chant on your wedding night - open one leg, open another leg..."
As the big parrot kept cursing, it began to laugh so hard that its whole body trembled. It collapsed on Zhou Laodao's head and laughed so hard that it couldn't breathe.
Zhou Laodao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what this "split one leg apart" was...
Lu Yu's face turned dark.
When he was young and ignorant, he was trapped in the small yard alone, muttering some dirty jokes about his past life to the newly hatched big parrot... Ahem, this big parrot is the same, it doesn't want to learn good things, but only learns these things!
Even though these natives do have long and thin arms and legs like centipedes, you can't...can't...say that they are not like that?
"Civility, courtesy!" Lu Yi put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name: "We are a nation of etiquette, and we are all well-read..."
The big parrot panted and wiped the tears from the corners of its eyes with its wings. It stretched out its voice and cried, "Siwen, Siwen... As the saying goes, the grass on the grave withers and grows again every year... Is that the grass on your mother's grave?"
The big parrot laughed again at the top of its lungs.
The other four uncles looked at the big parrot as if it were a fool, and then looked at Lu Yi with great contempt - for a long time, only the big parrot could "parrot" and communicate with Lu Yi using words.
Therefore, all the indecent words of the big parrot basically came from what Lu Yi heard and saw!
This guy has become so crazy, Lu Yi, the guy who raised them since childhood and is both their father and brother, should take most of the responsibility!
Lu Yu's face turned slightly .
As he raised his hand, a ray of 'silent meditation' Buddha light fell, and the big parrot suddenly stiffened, unable to utter a single obscene word.
Lu Yi took two steps forward and looked up and down at the clamoring indigenous creatures outside the city. The bone relic hanging on his finger flashed, and thirty-six bone gods and demons rose into the air, transforming into their original forms, about ten feet tall and covered with bony bodies. They stepped on the flowing clouds and rushed towards the thirty or so indigenous creatures outside the city.
As the white-bone demon rushed into the air, Lu Yi clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures.
Tens of millions of young and strong people in the pioneer group followed Lu Yi's chanting and shouted Lu Yi's Dharma name "Fahai"...
In this foreign land, facing the unpredictable indigenous creatures, these pioneers all need strong spiritual support. And Lu Yu is their best choice now, and their only choice.
The mighty power of faith was transformed by Buddhism and turned into a golden torrent visible to the naked eye, rushing towards Lu Yi.
These people are all "celestial beings"!
In the lower realms, in the Yin-Yang Heaven, the most common and weakest "children" in these pioneering groups, their physical strength, speed, and agility alone are comparable to the "Buddha Lord" level of powerful beings. And their soul strength is naturally comparable to the souls of powerful beings who have been tempered and practiced!
There are tens of millions of "celestial beings" from the Supreme Taichu Heaven here.
They are equivalent to tens of millions of "Buddhas" in Liangyi Heaven, all of whom believe in and worship Lu Yi.
Every powerful being at the level of "Buddha Lord" who devoutly worships a living being can generate faith and thought power that is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions times that of an ordinary living being!
The tens of millions of pioneers chanted Lu Yi's Dharma name in unison, prayed and worshiped Lu Yi with all their hearts, and saw a mighty golden torrent like molten gold, which turned into the Yangtze River, which was hundreds of feet wide, and continuously poured into Lu Yi's brows.
Lu Yu's originally damaged soul began to recover rapidly under the infusion of these faith powers.
Above his mind, a ball of spiritual light rapidly expanded and burned brightly, from the size of a sea bowl to the size of a water tank, and then continued to solidify and condense, emitting a warm and clean light like the bright moon.
As the golden torrent continued to pour in, the soul light the size of a water tank became more and more condensed, and its volume continued to expand steadily inch by inch.
Then, Lu Wu waved his hand, and white Buddha flames fell, like sticky molten silver, continuously pouring into the bodies of the thirty-six white bone gods and demons that fell from the sky... This was Lu Wu practicing the "White Bone View" method, transforming the faith power that poured into his body but was unable to be absorbed and digested by his weak soul into "White Bone View Buddha Power", which was fully filled into the thirty-six white bone gods and demons.
Each of these white-bone gods and demons has an average of more than 300,000 believers and worshippers from the powerful "Buddha Lord".
There was a constant 'crackling' sound coming from their bodies. Their bones were constantly solidifying and strengthening, bit by bit, piece by piece, through thousands of temperings, turning decay into magic.
There were continuous muffled sounds of "boom boom". When the thirty-six white-bone gods and demons fell to the ground, their bodies had become extremely strong and heavy due to the continuous infusion of faith and thought power. They fell from more than a hundred feet in the air and actually blasted a large pit with a diameter of several feet on the extremely hard ground of this world.
"Buddha have mercy!" The white bones of the gods and demons shouted in unison, and the bones on their bodies squirmed and rolled, quickly turning into Buddhist magic weapons such as the demon-subduing pestle, the vajra, the demon-subduing staff, and the lotus sword in their hands. With white Buddha flames burning on their bodies, the white bones of the gods and demons took big steps and rushed towards the indigenous holy spirits.
With every step the Bone Demon took, a white lotus rose up beneath their feet.
Wind and fire were entwined around the white lotus formed by the white flame, making these bone gods and demons move as fast as the wind and their bodies as fast as lightning. The wind and fire were spinning, and their heavy bodies left a trail of erratic afterimages in the air, which were truly like a dream bubble, unpredictable.
Compared to these bone gods and demons who have practiced the advanced fighting skills of Buddhism, the reactions of these indigenous creatures are very direct, simple, and full of beast-like instinctive characteristics.
They roared, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and rushed towards the bone gods and demons arrogantly and fearlessly.
Then, they came up empty-handed.
They rushed straight forward and the bone gods and demons spun around them like spinning tops, like wind, fire, fog, and dreams... The Buddhist magic weapons condensed from bones were equipped with various "Vajra Dharma", "Sumeru Dharma", "Magic Suppression Dharma" and "Purification Dharma". There were hundreds or thousands of densely packed Buddhist blessings. Even a leaf, under the blessings of these methods, would become as heavy as a mountain and as indestructible as a diamond, and had various magical uses in subduing demons.
The Buddhist weapons fell with a loud bang, sending sparks flying all over the bodies of these indigenous creatures. They were struck and made to stagger and reel. More than a dozen weaker indigenous creatures lost their balance and were knocked to the ground by one blow.
The long, sharp, shrill howls continued to ring in my ears.
As soon as these indigenous creatures came into contact with the bone gods and demons, they fell into the embarrassing situation of being passive and beaten.
They couldn't see the movements of the Bone Demons, and couldn't keep up with their erratic attacks. Facing the heavy attacks of various Buddhist dharmas, the black scales on their bodies splashed with large sparks and lit up with strange runes. A layer of dark light enveloped their bodies. Under the crazy, hundreds and thousands of intensive attacks of the Bone Demons, the light on their bodies trembled violently, and the scales were violently agitated. Soon, large scales had cracks.
With a "clang, clang, clang", large pieces of scales shattered, revealing the iron-gray flesh underneath.
The heavy Buddhist weapons fell with whistling white bone flames, tearing their skin and burning their flesh. Murmuring Buddhist chants followed the heavy bombardment, constantly washing the souls of these indigenous creatures, repeatedly distorting their understanding of the world, nature, self, and ethnicity...
Gradually, in the minds of these indigenous creatures, the towering, golden and magnificent image of Lu Yi began to rise.
The minds of these indigenous creatures were also in chaos.
It was a space of pure black and gray fog without much flash.
Lu Yi's Dharma image was like the rising sun, which forcibly broke through the thick fog in the minds of these indigenous creatures, and dispelled the turbidity and ignorance in their minds bit by bit. He forcibly engraved some of the Buddhist "Tao" and "principles", some "survival rules and behavioral codes of qualified Buddhist believers" on their chaotic and wild souls, just like a jade craftsman or a stonemason.
I have to say something.
In this kind of pioneering action organized by the official government of the Supreme Taichu Heaven, the existence of a sufficiently powerful Buddhist "eminent monk" will undoubtedly be of great convenience to the pioneering action!
Facing these beast-like indigenous creatures, Buddhism, which is best at "forced conversion", has an excellent effect!
The thirty or so natives first screamed, then started swearing.
When they were pinned to the ground and beaten by the bone gods and demons, their scales were shattered, their flesh was burned by the bone Buddha's flames and oozing oil, and their souls were forcibly "lit up" by Lu Yi's Dharma image, their screams and curses turned into trembling wails.
Originally they were still struggling and jumping around randomly.
Even if they were knocked to the ground, their strength was still terrifying, and their punches and kicks were still so fast that people couldn't react. Even if the white-bone gods and demons had been temporarily blessed by Lu Yi's Buddhist teachings and infused with the faith and thoughts of millions of believers in the pioneer group, if they were accidentally punched or kicked, they would be knocked back for several miles, rolling on the ground, splashing large amounts of mud, sand and dust.
But... the fighting skills of these natives are still too crude.
Simply relying on instinctive attacks, no matter how strong they were, no matter how fast they were, even if every punch and kick they made left deep dents on the Bone Demon, and could break or even shatter a few of the strengthened bones...
Often, just as they stood up, the bone demon would rush back to them with a gust of wind and countless flickering afterimages, and hit them on the head with several heavy blows, knocking them to the ground again.
Standing up again and again, falling down again and again.
After being bombarded with all their might by the Bone Demon for more than half an hour - after being subjected to such brutal and intensive attacks for half an hour, these natives were still alive and kicking, still roaring and shouting on the ground with full energy!
However, their roars gradually became filled with confusion.
The speed with which they resisted and jumped around became slower and slower, and the strength of their resistance and counterattack became weaker and weaker.
Each of their movements gradually became tinged with hesitation.
In particular, they kept looking up with blurred and flickering eyes at Lu Yi who was standing on the city wall and overlooking them - their originally scarlet eyes gradually had a faint flicker of Buddha's light in their pupils.
The beating continued for more than half an hour.
These thirty or so natives had been beaten so hard that almost all of their scales had fallen off, and their skin and flesh were torn apart by the White Bone Buddha Flame, with translucent bones like black crystals exposed in many places.
On their foreheads, a pair of sharp-pointed flickering lights gradually turned into dark golden Buddha lights, and the thirty or so native creatures finally stopped struggling and resisting. They panted, stood up little by little, and then prostrated themselves on the ground in worship of Lu Yi on the city wall, shouting in a very sharp voice, like the friction of metal: "My Buddha!"
In the Five Elements Reversal Formation, wisps of the Five Elements' Qi were constantly mobilized by Lu Yi and continuously injected into the bodies of these obedient indigenous creatures.
The burnt flesh of these indigenous creatures began to heal rapidly, and large patches of new dark golden scales emerged from under their skin. Perhaps due to the enlightenment of Buddhism, their new scales were thicker and more lustrous than the original ones. The twisted runes at the core of the scales had been replaced by a cross-legged Vajra Buddha.
Lu Yu's mind moved.
A completely submissive native let out a long roar toward the sky and jumped up.
He brought up a gust of evil wind, brandished the Buddhist 'Arhat Fist' fist, and punched at the nearest white-skeletal god and demon beside him.
The bone demon god also followed suit and also used the simplest and most plain Arhat Fist to strike out.
One was a native and the other was a demon. They faced each other head on. There was a loud "crack" sound. The scales on the chest of the native creature cracked into a few tiny cracks. He took three steps back and stood firmly in place.
The bone demon god who was hit by the heavy punch had his entire chest ribs shattered. The dark golden fist force was like a dragon, hitting his spine and breaking his thick spine into two parts. His entire body was violently blasted more than thirty miles away and crashed head-on into a hill that was a hundred feet high, completely exploding the hill and breaking it into countless large and small pieces of rubble. The farthest piece of rubble even sprayed a hundred miles away!
"I... Buddha!"
On the city wall, countless members of the pioneer group stared at this horrifying scene in amazement.
Everyone could see that if it weren’t for the magic of Lu Yi’s Buddhist teachings, if it weren’t for the great blessings these white-bone gods and demons hadn’t received, they would have used the secret Buddhist methods to weaken the fighting power of these natives and directly distorted their spirits, making them the most devout believers of Lu Yi…
If these thirty or so natives break into the city, except for Lu Yi and the five masters who have a chance to escape, the entire pioneer group of more than 10 million people will surely be killed and exterminated by these thirty or so natives, and no one will be able to escape!
The gap in strength is too big!
"Their combat power is probably at the level of a celestial general..." Zhao Ding stuttered and exclaimed: "Even the garrison commander is probably, just, just..."
Tie Wuxin, the guard of Tiemen Pass, is also a master of the heavenly general level.
But Zhao Ding had a vague feeling that even Tie Wuxin couldn't deliver such a horrible, brutal, and violent punch!
"I don't know how many of these guys there are!" Lu Yu's cheeks twitched violently a few times.
Fortunately, these natives have not yet developed a "cultivation civilization".
They have absolutely no grasp of the method of cultivation.
From their bodies to their souls, they are crude and primitive.
Therefore, the bone gods and demons can rely on their fighting skills to knock them to the ground, and can use the secret methods of Buddhism to forcibly transform their souls... Judging from the power these natives possess, if they know a little bit about the methods of cultivation... Tsk, tsk tsk!
The consequences are disastrous!
Fortunately, these guys have been forcibly converted.
Lu Yu's mind moved slightly.
More than thirty indigenous creatures obediently walked to the city wall and sat cross-legged like a high monk. Lu Yi chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and these indigenous people followed Lu Yi's chanting and practiced the Buddhist cultivation method over and over again.
With each cycle of the Buddha's power circulating in their bodies, the dark gold color on their bodies becomes richer and brighter, and the Buddhist aura in their bodies and souls becomes richer and purer.
Under Lu Yi's command, the faith power as thick as molten gold turned into wisps of heavy dark golden Buddha flames and poured into the skulls of these natives.
Dense Buddhist symbols are winding and growing on the bodies of these natives. Lu Yi's control over them and their faith in Lu Yi are constantly deepening and strengthening, gradually becoming deep-rooted and unshakable!
In the distance, footsteps were heard again in the thick fog.
A sharp roar came from afar. After mastering more than thirty indigenous creatures, Lu Yi could roughly understand their language. In the thick fog, the companions of the indigenous people who were sitting cross-legged under the city wall were asking what was going on here.
Lu Yu smiled and nodded.
The thirty-six skeleton gods and demons flashed and disappeared into the air.
A native who was sitting cross-legged under the city wall opened his eyes and shouted in a shrill voice in his native language: "Come quickly, come quickly, there is fresh and delicious meat coming out of nowhere... delicious meat I have never seen before... There is not much, don't tell others, just come here!"
The sound of dense footsteps was heard, and nearly a hundred indigenous creatures came running over.
There was no precaution, no vigilance.
These new natives ran headfirst into the Five Elements Reversal Formation set up by Lu Yi. Then, the bone gods and demons rushed forward and used the formation to knock the new natives to the ground. What followed was a rather inhumane beating that lasted for several hours!
