The village of Zhen is located in the southwest of Xingshu Village. The distance between the two sides is not particularly far, and they often encounter each other during hunting, but there have never been any major conflicts.

But the village of Zhen is somewhat mysterious and strange. In addition to the fact that the village is relatively closed, it is also because of the village's sacrificial spirits.

Almost every village and settlement has offerings to spirits, which are objects that can provide spiritual energy, resources, and protection. They are endowed with sacred attributes by people and worshiped like patron gods.

The spirits that most tribes offer as sacrifices are dead objects such as stone statues, totems, mineral veins, and spiritual treasures from heaven and earth. The half-dead tree in Xingshu Village is very special.

The sacrificial spirit of the Zhen Village is actually a real living being, an old Zhen bird with green patterns. It usually lives in the wilderness and will only come when the Zhen Village offers blood sacrifices. Anyone who has lived in the area for enough years has seen it.

After eating blood, the bird will leave some venom. Therefore, the bows, arrows and blades of the people in the village are poisoned, and other villages and settlements dare not easily provoke it.

According to legend, the village of Zhen also sacrificed living people to make the Zhen bird produce more potent venom, but this is also a rumor and has not been confirmed.

Sometimes, when people from the surrounding villages wanted to scare disobedient children, they would say, "We'll send you to the Zhen Village to feed the evil spirits." This shows that the "reputation" of the Zhen Village was far-reaching.

For example, on the first day Su Jinchuan arrived, he met people from the Zhen Village by chance. He was seriously injured, unfamiliar with the place, and was chased all the way.

Hearing that Mo Xu might go to Zhen Village alone to look for someone, Xi Jing became a little worried and prepared to call other young men in the village.

"Wait for me at the entrance of the village. I'll find some help for you."

Mo Xu and Su Jinchuan had hunted a lot of food for the village and had great prestige. Immediately, more than twenty households responded and set out together.

The young and strong men of Xingshu Village climbed over the mountain and headed southwest together. They soon discovered the footprints deliberately left by Su Jinchuan and Ning Kangcheng.

"This direction is undoubtedly the village of Zhen." Xijing frowned after identifying it and became even more worried.

"Old Su and Old Ning are both strong men. The newcomer should be as strong as them. Even if they are surrounded, they can still hold on for a while." Mo Xu said to himself. He held the heavy sword, carried a long bow on his back, and ran forward quickly.

Except for Xijing, other people in Xingshu Village were dumbfounded when they noticed this action. Lifting such a heavy object and still walking briskly was beyond the understanding of normal people.

"Isn't this the heavy sword from the ancestral hall? I can't even lift it, but he can still run. He's truly a god!"

"The old witch in the village touched his bones and said he was not a warrior. Could he have touched the wrong bone?"

"A warrior can't be so terrifying, right? This sword is heavier than a beast!"

"Stop talking and catch up!" Xijing reminded others as he set off.

Mo Xu was alone in front, following the trail all the way. When he encountered a tree blocking the way, he would just swing his heavy sword and chop it down to clear the way.

Even so, his speed was not slower than that of his companions who were traveling lightly behind him. He even had to look back and wait for a moment when he walked faster.

"I absorbed the extraordinary factor, which should be the power of a warrior." Mo Xu was also amazed at the new power he had gained: "If humans can directly use the extraordinary, it should be no worse than the extraordinary space that Su Jinchuan mentioned. Is this really a crooked way?"

However, he must persist in trying the "right way" to tame beasts, because he himself is a beast tamer, and Xiu Xiu is still waiting for him.

Soon, they successfully climbed over three slopes and arrived at the place where the people from the Zhen Village appeared.

This place is covered with wormwood three or four meters high. The coverage is very large, and the road in the grass is winding. If there is no familiar person to lead the way, it is easy to get lost.

"After this meadow." Xijing pointed to the back: "That's where the village of Zhe is. I heard that the big bird always flies over here."

Su Jinchuan's footsteps stopped in front of the ridge. It was not known whether he went to the grass or to some other open space.

"The two masters left traces along the way just to make it easier for me to find them." Mo Xu thought: "If they are broken, either they have safely picked up the people and returned, or... they have met someone!"

Mo Xu felt that it was very likely that if the man with the surname Yang landed nearby, the people of Zhen Village would most likely see him first, and thus they might meet.

"Zhen Village is good at using poison arrows!" He looked towards the grass marsh first.

If he were Su Jinchuan, when he saw the enemy group carrying bows and arrows, he would definitely look for a place where the view was hidden, and that would be here without a doubt.

"Fuck, let's go into the Zhen Village." Mo Xu gestured as he spoke. After Xi Jing understood what he meant, he jumped off the slope first and rushed towards the grass marsh.

"Follow us!" Xijing called everyone to follow.

The grass here was very tall, and it was difficult for people other than those from the Zhen Village to identify the direction inside. However, Mo Xu used brute force to break through it. After having Xi Jing point out the direction of the Zhen Village, he swung his heavy sword like chopping melons and vegetables, and the grass fell down all the way, revealing a straight and unobstructed road.

The people accompanying him were originally a little hesitant about going to the Zhen Village, but when they saw Mo Xuru's figure as a god from heaven, they knew there was no place they couldn't go.

"Even if the big bird from Zhi Village comes, maybe it can fight." Someone thought so.

As they went deeper, they found some traces of wormwood intertwined, which seemed to be the scene of a battle, but it was soon hidden in the dense vegetation.

Mo Xu did not delay. Since he knew it was the people from the Zhen Village who were responsible, he went straight to their lair.

They cut a path where there was no road. Mo Xu and his team walked in a straight line and soon conquered this maze-like barrier.

There was a village ahead, and at the entrance there was a village called Zhen. The villagers saw that the grass was broken into pieces layer by layer as if it had been hit by a hurricane. They even forgot to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and just stood there in a daze.

The people of Zhi Village never thought that a group of people could come to their village like this. It was simply a miracle that the gods came from the sky.

Especially the leader, who was swinging a heavy sword that was even rougher than that of a strong man, like a devil.

Mo Xu didn't even need to do anything, more than twenty young and strong men completely controlled the people at the entrance of the village.

"I know you, you are Xijing from Xingshu Village. Why are you attacking our village? Humans don't fight each other. This is the rule of the Great Wilderness!" a prisoner exclaimed.

Xi Jing held a captive with both hands and asked, "Humans do not fight each other. Then let me ask you, did you send people to hunt down the people in our village today?"

"Hunting?" The captive understood immediately and said, "You mean the monsters that fell from the sky? How come they are from your Xingshu Village? Wu Lao said they are a nuisance."

Xijing held the stone spear in his hand, with the sharp end pointed at the captive: "The one who fell from the sky is our distinguished guest from Xingshu Village. Are there two other people?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" With his life threatened, the captive no longer made excuses: "In the ancestral house, the witch is summoning the spirits to offer them up!"
