Chapter 2824
byHe had previously thought that there would be no powerful experts in such a remote corner, so he didn’t pay much attention. But now that he realizes Yang Kai was actually a Grand Wizard, he no longer dared to be presumptuous.
“Greetings to the two adults！”
Yang Kai was helped up by Die and stood up. He frowned and looked at him, then nodded and said, “There’s no need to be so polite.”
Upon hearing this, the wizard straightened his body and asked curiously, “Which village are the two adults from？”
He didn’t recognize Yang Kai and Die, but two Grand Wizards were not unknown figures after all. He should have heard of them. Youdaoplaceholder0 since he served as the messenger between the tribe and the various villages below, he didn’t know all the wizards in the tribe like the back of his hand, but at least he knew something about them.
“Cangnan Village！” Yang Kai replied.
“Huh？” The wizard was stunned and looked at Yang Kai with a skeptical expression, not daring to believe it and said, “Cang… Cangnan Village？”
How could there be two Grand Wizards in Cangnan Village？ He remembered that the village head of Cangnan Village was just a witch apprentice, and even a low-grade witch apprentice at that. So Yang Kai’s words made him a little incredulous, but since the other person was a Grand Wizard, there was no reason to deceive him about this.
He said blankly, “Sir, you are from Cangnan Village？”
“That’s right.” Yang Kai looked at him and said, “What’s the matter？”
“What about Wu Li？”
Wu Li… the name of the old village chief. Hearing his question, Yang Kai immediately understood that this person knew the old village chief, and this trip might be to find the old village chief for something.
His expression sank slightly and said, “The old village chief is no longer here. Now this wizard is the village chief！”
“Wu Li actually…” The man was slightly absent-minded, but didn’t think too much. After all, Wu Li was old and his cultivation was not high. He couldn’t live too long. Maybe his lifespan was up and he returned to the embrace of the Barbarian God. Then he said, “What’s your name, sir？”
“Wu Niu！”
The man nodded, his expression became solemn, and said loudly, “Wu Niu, sir. I am ordered by the Witch King to order you to gather all the villagers of Cangnan Village within five days and assemble in the royal city！”
“The order of the Witch King？” Yang Kai was stunned.
Although the Southern Barbarian Tribe is not too powerful among all the barbarian tribes, there is still a Witch King sitting in town. And as far as Yang Kai knows, he is also a top-grade Witch King. The place where the Witch King sits is the royal city of the Southern Barbarian Tribe, just like the status of Frost Snow City in the Frost Snow Tribe. The various small tribes and village chiefs of the Southern Barbarian Tribe all survive around this royal city. The royal city and the Witch King have absolute command over the small tribes and villages below.
This suddenly issued order made Yang Kai smell a hint of something unusual, faintly feeling as if something big was about to happen.
“Exactly the order of the Witch King！” The man replied with a serious expression. “I originally came here to inform Wu Li, but since you are now the village chief of Cangnan Village, it’s the same to tell you.”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Is there a tribe going to war with us？”
In ancient times, it was common for various barbarian tribes to have disputes. In order to contend for the remaining living space and for the interests of their own tribes, great battles between tribes were often seen.
And once this happened, all personnel and troops would need to be committed, and no one could avoid it.
So upon hearing this order, Yang Kai subconsciously felt that it was some tribe going to war with the Southern Barbarian Tribe, and the first in line would be the cruel and inhuman Bone-Eating Tribe. If that was the case, Yang Kai wouldn’t mind being a vanguard.
Coincidentally, he failed to determine life and death with Wu Chi today, which made Yang Kai rather regretful.
The messenger smiled bitterly upon hearing this and then slowly shook his head. He said in a low voice, “If it was just a tribe going to war with us, that would be nothing serious.”
Yang Kai was stunned and said, “Could there be something more serious？”
The messenger hesitated for a moment before saying, “This matter is originally a secret and must not be leaked. However, both of you are Great Shamans. Even if you arrive at the Royal City, you will be summoned by the Witch King. At that time, you will understand the situation anyway.” As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, “It’s the invasion of the Demon Race！”
“Wh-What？ Say it again？” Yang Kai almost thought he had misheard.
The messenger’s expression was extremely serious as he repeated, “The invasion of the Demon Race！”
Yang Kai was stunned for a long time before taking a deep breath. His face was filled with horror as he said, “Really？”
The messenger said, “Three major tribes have already been wiped out. Naturally, it can’t be fake.”
Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became solemn. Although the population of the ancient Barbarian Race was small, three major tribes at least gathered hundreds of thousands of people. To be wiped out just like that, this was truly an earth-shattering event.
The invasion of the Demon Race…
This term was not unfamiliar to him, but it couldn’t be said to be familiar either. From the knowledge he inherited from Qing, he learned that this land had been invaded by the Demon Race more than once. The most recent time was thirty thousand years ago. At that time, Qing was just an evergreen tree that had just awakened its spiritual intelligence and was striving to cultivate by absorbing nutrients from the earth.
He had witnessed with his own eyes the earth-shattering changes that took place after the invasion of the Demons, witnessed the deaths of countless people, and seen the strange and talented people on this land use their own lives to block the pace of the Demon invasion. Generation after generation, they sacrificed their precious lives, and it took nearly a thousand years to save this land from the hands of the Demons.
During those thousand years, the earth was filled with wailing. After the war, it took a full ten thousand years for the vast mountains and rivers to gradually regain their vitality, and then gave birth to the ancient barbarians, who became the masters of this land.
And now, the scene from thirty thousand years ago has reappeared, and no one knows what kind of situation it will be this time.
The Demons are a general term. What they look like specifically, Yang Kai has no idea. He only knows that they have different forms and are extremely cruel. If compared, the Bone Eaters Tribe is as gentle as a lamb in front of them.
However, there is also a rumor that the reason why the Bone Eaters Tribe seems odd among the barbarians is because they have some Demon genetics. In the war thirty thousand years ago, some Demons defiled the women on this land, and then gave birth to a group of descendants. These descendants are the ancestors of the Bone Eaters Tribe.
After all, the rumor is just a rumor. Whether it is true or false, no one knows. Especially in this era, this rumor has long disappeared in the long river of history. What the truth is, future generations have no way of knowing. Only a tree demon like Qing, who has stood for tens of thousands of years, can have some insights.
However, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. The countless barbarians’ proposal to exterminate the Bone-Eating Tribe and remove it from the barbarians is probably also related to this rumor. It’s just that now, the descendants don’t know why the Bone-Eating Tribe should be exterminated, only thinking that they eat everything, even barbarians.
The invasion of the Demon Race is definitely a huge disaster for this world！
No one knows where the demons really come from. Even Qing, who is the most knowledgeable, doesn’t know much about it. The demons 30,000 years ago seemed to suddenly appear on this land overnight running amok doing whatever they wanted and being to slaughter.
That arduous war that lasted for a thousand years severely damaged this beautiful land, and the human race was almost wiped out.
And in the ancient era thirty thousand years later, the drama of the invasion of the Demon Race occurred again. Yang Kai seemed to see the coming of the end of the world, as if he saw the corpses piled up like mountains and the blood flowing like a river.
In comparison, the grudge with the Bone-Eating Tribe seemed not so important.
“My lord, my lord…” The messenger called out several times. Seeing that Yang Kai was still in a trance, he smiled helplessly.
Yang Kai took a deep breath and said, “Within five days, I will lead the villagers of Cangnan Village to the royal city！”
The messenger was overjoyed and said while pressing his chest, “Thank you, sir. I still need to go and inform the other villages, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Yang Kai nodded and didn’t try to keep him. After watching him leave, he turned to look at Die and asked, “How much do you know about the Demonic People？”
Die said, “I don’t know. Do you know？”
Come to think of it, she was only a dozen years old. Even if she was raised by Qing, it was impossible for her to know too much. How could Qing talk to her about the Demonic People when there was nothing to do？
Stay in the village and rest for a day today. Tomorrow, you go back and find Elder Qing,” Yang Kai said and turned to walk towards the village.
With the invasion of the Demonic People, this entire world will be thrown into turmoil. If there is still a piece of pure land anywhere, it can only be Frost Snow City guarded by Qing. Perhaps that place will be the last safe haven.
You’re driving me away？” Die widened her eyes and said angrily, “You’re actually driving me away？”
“Go if you want, stay if you don’t！” Yang Kai didn’t bother to pay attention to her and turned back to say, “Oh right, call back Ah Hu and the others. I have something to say.”
Die stomped her foot indignantly and turned to leave with gritted teeth.
Moments later, the villagers returned to the village again. Seeing that Yang Kai was safe and sound despite looking pale, they were naturally overjoyed.
But their joy didn’t last long. Yang Kai then said with a solemn expression, “Everyone, just now I learned from the messenger from the Royal City that the Demonic People have invaded. Three of our Barbarian Tribes have already been wiped out. Lord Witch King has ordered all the villagers of our Green Cang Village to rush to the Royal City within five days to gather and await orders.”
As soon as these words came out, more than two hundred villagers fell silent.
A Hu said, “What are the Demonic People？”
This was what everyone wanted to ask because they had never heard of this term before.
Yang Kai said, “I don’t really know what the Demonic People are. I only know that they are a group of enemies a hundred or a thousand times more brutal than the Bone-Eating Tribe. They are the enemies who bring disaster to us. They are the number one enemy that our Barbarian Race, and even our Human Race, cannot live together with！”
A hundred or a thousand times more brutal than the Bone-Eating Tribe…
Upon hearing this, the villagers’ expressions changed. They had just been captured by the Bone-Eating Tribe and knew how fierce the Bone-Eating Tribe was. Now there was actually someone a thousand times more brutal than the Bone-Eating Tribe. Were they still human？
Although the order from the Royal City is there, I don’t force everyone！ Tomorrow I will set off for the Royal City. If there are those who are willing to go with me, I will take everyone with me tomorrow. If there are those who are not willing to go, then stay in the village.” Yang Kai’s voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone’s ears. “I won’t lie to everyone. This trip is extremely dangerous. Maybe there will be no chance to return to the village！ You all think it through clearly.”
After saying that, without waiting for the villagers to react, Yang Kai directly returned to his room, took out a handful of healing pills and stuffed them into his mouth to take.
Although the battle with Wu Chi was thrilling, his injuries were not too serious. After a night of recuperation, he should be fine. Moreover, this kind of ultra-intense battle was of great benefit to him. If there were a few more such battles, it would be much more effective than his **closed-door hard cultivation**.
Therefore, he readily accepted the order from the Wangcheng. On the one hand, he intended to meet the so-called Demon People. On the other hand, he also wanted to grow as quickly as possible in the battle.
