Chapter 845: Barbarian Rebellion (Part 2)
In addition to Rose, the ancient demon summoned other demon gods one after another, ordering them to mobilize the power they had developed among the barbarians in various places over the years, convert it into combat power as soon as possible, and attack the borders of the Song Dynasty.
The size of China is not limited to the fertile soil of the densely populated Central Plains, but also to areas that have not been vigorously developed, such as wild frontiers, vast grasslands, bitter cold lands, barren mountains and rivers.
Due to resource constraints and natural factors, the number of humans that can be supported per unit area in these harsh areas is far less than the fertile soil in the heart of China that has been developed for countless years. Therefore, it is difficult for a farming civilization like the Central Plains Dynasty to emerge. Instead, most of them are based on nomadic hunting. Mainly local barbarian tribes.
Some of the origins of these barbarians are the indigenous humans who have lived here since ancient times, and their physiques and customs have long adapted to the local environment. Some are the poor people who fled here during the war years and were finally assimilated.
Because the barbarians finally traveled around hunting for food, they developed a savage and rude temperament. It was difficult to communicate with outsiders due to language barriers and poor clothing. During famine years, they would invade the outside world on a large scale and plunder resources and people, which was regarded as wild. It is difficult to tame, so it is never regarded as one of its own by the Central Plains Dynasty, and it cannot enjoy the fruits of the prosperity of human civilization.
In the world of cultivation, the barbarians living in the barren mountains and harsh waters are far inferior to the outstanding people in the hinterland of China. They generally have dull qualifications and follow the barbaric and bloody traditional witchcraft. They are not favored by the righteous cultivators, and therefore are not included in the sphere of influence of the righteous sects.
But these barbarians are also human beings after all, and under the year-round nomadic fishing and hunting, the living people are generally stronger than the Central Plains people, and have ferocious and aggressive temperaments. They are more suitable for practicing ancient witchcraft that enhances physical fitness and shamanism that controls the power of nature. Full of magic, some barbaric tribes even support demons, and humans and demons live together.
Over countless years, some large tribal forces that occupied the local area were formed among the barbarians in various places. Based on their locations, they were called Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi by the world.
It's just that ancient witchcraft has long declined since the ancient war. Except for the Black Witch Cult that has gone overseas, the witchcraft within other barbarian tribes is not systematic and it is difficult to become a great road. Therefore, many knowledgeable barbarian tribes accepted those demonic and side sect monks who were attacked and excluded by the Central Plains dynasty. The integration of all parties and the improvement of each other's strengths have continued.
In other words, the powerful demonic path directly annexed and unified the chaotic inheritance among these barbarians and turned them into a part of itself.
The five demon sects, except for the mysterious central demon sect, the basic base of the other four demon sects are barbarians from various places. Shiwandashan, the base of the demon tribe, is also an important area for the barbarians to thrive.
But in this way, in the world of cultivation, which is dominated by the human race's righteous cultivators, the barbarians and their cultivators are even more excluded.
Although the Song Dynasty was prosperous and developed, it was restricted by the vision of the feudal dynasty and did not include the barbarians from all sides into the system. When the evil disaster strikes, powerful people like the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhengdao cultivator community cannot take care of the entire Shenzhou area. They can only stick to the inland, abandon all border counties and counties, and gather population resources to fight against foreign enemies.
On the other hand, the barbarians did not suffer much harm because the demon cultivators and demons had already reached an agreement with the demon world. Of course, the price paid is to accept the devil. After the demonic disaster, in addition to practicing witchcraft, demonic ways, side sects, and demonic arts, the barbarians also had an extraordinary way to swallow the blood of demons and absorb the abyssal demonic energy to transform into abyssal demons.
Compared with the cultivation methods in the human world that require cultivation qualifications and consume a lot of resources, the way to transform into a demon is extremely simple. You only need to swallow the blood of a certain demon, or directly absorb the rich abyss demonic energy to transform into a demon. The Abyss Demon corresponding to the bloodline and physique.
If you want to continue to progress, you can choose to swallow and absorb more demon blood or abyss demonic energy, or you can, like a demon, grow rapidly in the process of constantly killing, devouring souls, and sacrificing blood to the abyss.
It is easy to practice, improve quickly, and is not picky about resources. Such a convenient way of practice is very popular among barbarians who are not very intelligent. Therefore, except for those barbarians who are qualified enough to practice the methods of the human world, most barbarians have chosen to transform into the abyss. Devil.
But every gain must have a loss. After being transformed into an abyss demon, although the barbarians can quickly become stronger despite the limitations of their qualifications and resources, it is also equivalent to abandoning their local identity in the human world and no longer being blessed by the luck of the human world. .
When alive, you can still rely on the body born in the human world to not be rejected by the inhibitory power of the human world, but after death, the soul that has been marked by the abyss will not be included in the reincarnation of the human world along the Xuanhuang Sky Net, but will follow the infinite path. The River Styx flows into the lower plane and falls into the abyss.
After all, those who have transformed into an abyss demon population are, to a certain extent, no longer human beings, but a subspecies of demons. Moreover, they are still the kind of subspecies controlled by the demon army. Once the demon army exerts force, they will involuntarily obey orders. After all, even the bloodline and extraordinary foundation came from the devil, so how could it not be affected by it?
However, except for those barbarians who have enough qualifications and wisdom to understand the true meaning of practice, other barbarians do not know this, or in other words, based on their wisdom, they would not care even if they knew it. Ordinary people only care about life, but not after death.
As for the Five Directions Demon Sect and the Monster Clan, the former has a ruthless heart and does not care about anyone other than its fellow sects, while the latter relies on demons to fight against the humans and expand the living space for the Monster Clan, so it will not stop the barbarians from making their choices either. . Even more, the more sacrifices the barbarians make, the better the results will be, and the more powerful it will be for them.
In the eyes of demons and other powerful forces, stupid and ignorant barbarians are nothing more than soldiers and cannon fodder, and they don't care about their future.
This is the tragedy of a group of people who do not have a strong background and civilization support, and do not have enough wisdom. They cannot even control their own life and death.
In the land of the Dongyi tribe, in a valley outside the White Mountain and Black Water, the head of the Dongyi tribe, wrapped in a demon bear skin, had red eyes. With the assistance of the high priest of the Witch Demon Dao on the side, he summoned an alien passage leading to the abyss of the demon world, and filled it with After a large amount of abyssal demonic energy, the underground demonic pool in the tribe was opened.
In the deep black magic pool, you can see that the skin is covered with black scales, and the faces are ferocious, like powerful demonized barbarian warriors sinking into hibernation.
In the Xirong Wasteland, the vast land is covered with the corpses of countless middle and low-level demons in a certain formation pattern. Their flesh and blood are used as sacrifices. The leader of Xirong, who has long been transformed by the demon into one of the leaders of the demon army, leads the tribe to start the sacrifice. Witch formation.
The black-red demonic flames rose from the ground, swallowed up the demon's corpse, and then rose into the sky and divided into thousands, integrating into the bodies of every Xirong barbarian present. Amidst the roars, these barbarians grew in size one by one, with green faces and fangs, and large patches of demon skin appeared on their bodies, making them look unlike humans.
