Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 358 Kuroko's Depression

In this vast forest, the courage and wisdom of the wolf riders won the respect of nature and also received the reward from the will of the mountains and rivers.

As the warm current flowed through their bodies, the Iron Wolf Riders couldn't help but let out comfortable moans.

A strange howling sound of "Ga Ga" was heard, and the eagle guards accompanying the team fell from the sky and began to enjoy the corpse of the ghost wolf beast, with a bird-like look of intoxication.

This is caused by their boss Heizi.

Time flies so fast, and polar scenes unfold.

On both sides of the belt-like river, a vibrant scene comes into view.

The bamboo shed is built along the water, like green waves swaying in the wind.

The river flows gently and sparkles, reflecting the busy scenes on both sides of the river.

Although the bamboo shed is simple, it is ingenious. The structure made of woven bamboos is strong yet light, and the thatched roof can block both the scorching sun and sudden rain.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo and falls on the ground inside the shed, forming patterns of interlaced light and shadow.

The militiamen wore fine leather armor with the emblems of their respective villages painted on them, demonstrating their sense of belonging and glory.

They carried heavy bamboo baskets on their shoulders and walked into the bamboo shed with steady steps.

Their faces are filled with confidence and pride, and their eyes are shining with infinite longing for the future.

At the market, the dazzling array of goods attracted a lot of attention.

Here are precious medicinal herbs from the mountains, exquisite handmade crafts, and furs of various wild animals.

The militiamen are not only members of the caravan, but also stall operators. They display their merchandise with skillful techniques and attract customers with enthusiastic words and sincere smiles.

"The number of furs and medicinal herbs is getting less and less." In the pergola, Liu Yu felt the bustling market, and looked at the dwindling furs and medicinal herbs with a frown.

"Just be content. From what I know, the market in Jufeng City is even worse." said Chuicha Yifeng.

"Hehe, that's true." Liu Yu laughed. The fact was just as Yifeng said, the flow of people to the market in Jufeng City was gone forever, and the market became bleak.

It would be bleak if it were just that, but the number of buyers has increased instead of decreased, which seems like there are too many people and too little porridge.

For this reason, the big shopkeeper in Jufeng City asked Liu Yu to hold on to the market in Forgotten Township tightly even if he had to make concessions.

"By the way, what's the situation around Jufeng City?" Yifeng asked casually.

"It's a bit unusually calm. Whether it's demon beasts or ghost beasts, they are all wandering around Jufeng City, as if they are conducting reconnaissance."

"It may be the strength of the giant sword that makes the ghost beast army wait and see."

"Maybe, but it is a fact that the caravans can't get through." This is the reason why the market in Jufeng City is so bleak.

"If the trade routes were unimpeded, our market would not be like this."

"That's right." Liu Yu nodded and expressed his concerns.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and it is afraid of attracting prying eyes and competitors.

Zhaolun Valley welcomes Yijiu and his team back.

"Lord Commander, didn't Zhao Li come back with the team?" Zhao Lei asked when he didn't see Zhao Li getting off the boat.

"He stayed in the main hall as a teacher and didn't want to come back." Yifeng looked around and replied.

The Zhaolun Valley at this time was slightly different from the last time I saw it. It was like a large construction site, with tens of thousands of people busy reinforcing the village walls and building houses.

"Mr. Li is so unkind that he actually left us behind to enjoy his life." Li Dali couldn't help but complain when he heard that.

Hearing this, Yijiu shook his head and smiled, "Just think of him as someone who is here to train new temple villagers and stay in the main hall."

"Haha, Lord Tongyu is right." Tieying agreed cheerfully and gestured to invite Yifeng and his group into the valley.

Along with Yijiu came ten young temple guards and ten young clergymen, all of whom were handpicked by him.

On the way here, Yifeng trained twenty people, so the temple guards at this time had a cold look on their faces and the clergy had a sacred look on their faces.

Yifeng's purpose of coming this time was, first, to conduct an inspection, and second, to leave a clergyman in each temple. The temple guards would accompany him to inspect other temples to demonstrate their status.

Otherwise, it would be too boring and uncool for him to steer the black boat alone.

If the haters knew his idea, they would definitely despise him. You only lead a team of ten people, what's so cool about that? Look at me, I lead a team of thousands of people and dominate the battle.

"Ha ha, little brothers, kill for me!" Above the ruined countryside, Heizi let out a strange roar and flapped his wings to point at the group of ghost beasts that were gathering for battle.

"Ga ga" thousands of Eagle Guards roared in unison and launched an air attack on the gathered group of ghost beasts.

For a moment, flaming arrows streaked across the sky and shot towards the gathering group of ghost beasts.

Perhaps the two sides had fought before, and when the ghost beasts saw the flaming arrows coming, they decisively scattered and fled.

What made Heizi and Yingwei even more depressed was that the ghost beasts not only scattered, but they actually had no bushido spirit. Instead, they ran in groups of three or five to the ruined village not far away and used the buildings to resist the attacks of the Eagle Guards.

How can we launch an effective air strike? If we use close combat, we are afraid of ghost beasts sneaking into Chencang. If we use a large-scale air strike, it will consume the Eagle Guards' spiritual power, which is not conducive to mobile support.

This situation put Heizi in a dilemma, but when he saw the dilapidated buildings in the village, he came up with an idea, which was to set fire to the thatched houses.

As Heizi's order was given, the Eagle Guards became arsonists, working in pairs, one setting the fire while the other fanned the flames.

In an instant, flames rose and the ruined village turned into a sea of ​​fire. The evil beasts hiding in it howled as they fled out of the sea of ​​fire and fled in all directions.

Heizi couldn't help but let out a strange "ga ga" sound when he saw this, causing a series of gagging sounds, which was like a child's successful prank.

In the ruins, the former prosperity has turned to dust, and the broken walls have witnessed countless battles and sacrifices.

In the sky, dark clouds hung low, like a sad veil of the earth, covering up the light and plunging the land into a depressing and heavy atmosphere.

However, against this backdrop, an impassioned war cry resounded through the sky: "Kill!"

This is a challenge to fate and a fearless declaration against darkness.

Thousands of spirit guards lined up on the ruins, looking majestic and powerful.

Their bodies were covered in dark purple soft armor.

This color is mysterious and majestic, as if it is the deepest stars in the night sky, containing endless power.

The soft armor fits the body, providing the necessary protection while maintaining flexibility, allowing them to be like fish in water on the battlefield.

The spirit guards held spiritual weapons transformed from spiritual power, their swords and shields complemented each other, their spears were like dragons, and their bows were like tigers.

The spiritual weapons glowed brightly in the hands of the warriors.

They were arranged in an impenetrable formation, with shield walls in front, spears in the back, and archers in advantageous positions, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

In front of them, a group of ghost beasts surged towards them like a black tide.
