After the Skyfall

Chapter 371 North Desert City

With the death of Jujiao, the warriors of Shoushan Village could be said to be defeated. The high priest who knew magic was simply unable to turn the tide. Even if Li Yi did not take action, his two exotic beasts alone would be enough to cause heavy losses to Shoushan Village.

The high priest Maisui also understood this truth. No matter how unwilling he was, he knew that Shoushan Village had lost this time.

"Stop, everyone, stop fighting."

Maisui walked forward with a complicated expression, holding a green cane.

The morale of the other soldiers in Shoushan Village was already low after seeing Jujiao's death. They had no intention of fighting anymore. When they heard what the high priest said, they all looked at him.

Mai Sui looked at Li Yi, his eyes lingering on his bloody and torn arms. The silver bones were shining brightly. He said, "Stranger, you won this battle. We no longer have the power to avenge you. But as a descendant of the gods, I hope you can let these innocent people go. They just want to pursue a stable life and have no intention of offending you."

"Isn't it too late to say this now? You were the one who shouted the loudest just now, asking Jujiao to kill me. Now you say you had no intention of offending me? Do you think I will believe you?" Li Yi stared at him and said.

"How about using my death to resolve this feud?" Mai Sui said.

Li Yi said: "It only takes a word for me to kill you. Your life has no value in my opinion."

Mai Sui said: "If you destroy Shoushan Village, no one will tell you where your companions have been sold to, and the strongest warriors in the village have already died in your hands. In addition, they have lost a high priest, and are doomed to decline in the future. They will no longer have the energy to take revenge on you. I will also restrain them and let them let go of today's grudges."

"You are a warrior with the blood of gods. You should have a heart comparable to that of gods and learn to forgive weak enemies."

"Then why don't you forgive us who were weak back then?"

Li Yi sneered and said, "You want to beg for mercy when you can't win the fight? There is no such good thing in the world. When the soldiers guarding the mountain village attack others outside, you should be prepared to be found. If you don't have the strength to crush everything, don't make enemies outside."

"You can ask for mercy, but in Shoushan Village, except for women, children, and the elderly, all adult warriors must cut off one arm as a punishment. At the same time, you, the high priest, must commit suicide to atone for your sin. If you can do this, I can let your Shoushan Village go. Otherwise, the next moment, the attack from the sky will be aimed at the ancient tree in the middle of your Shoushan Village, and Shoushan Village will completely become history."

"You" Mai Sui couldn't help but get angry when he heard this excessive condition.

If the soldiers guarding the mountain village all cut off one of their arms, their future livelihood would definitely be affected, and even hunting would become difficult.

But then all his anger disappeared because he was no longer in a position to negotiate conditions.

"I agree to your conditions, but I also hope you can do what you say." Mai Sui gritted his teeth and accepted this harsh condition.

Li Yi said: "That depends on whether you can do what you promised. I don't have much time to give you. You'd better make a decision quickly. If you make it too late, I might take back what I said before."

He glanced at the others with a cold gaze.

Then he called Shan Yi and Niu Niu to go back.

The two strange beasts obeyed the order and returned to Li Yi very quickly. At this moment, the two strange beasts were also injured and their bodies were covered in blood, but it was not serious and they would recover soon.

Then Li Yi looked at Zi's injured arm, summoned the Thunder Fighter, then returned to the cockpit, released the life repair cabin and immediately repaired his body.

When he walked out of the life-repairing chamber, his arm had recovered.

And five minutes passed.

Li Yi left the Thunder Fighter and planned to see the result of the handling of the evildoer buried by the high priest.

However, he soon smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Thick arms fell to the ground, blood splattered. All the strong men endured the severe pain and did not utter a cry. They just helped each other to stop the bleeding and bandage the wounds.

At the same time, the female warrior named Shanguo held the bloody head of the high priest Maisui in both hands and raised it high, as if telling Li Yi that the people guarding the mountain village had kept their promise. All the warriors cut off one of their arms, and the high priest Maisui also personally offered his head as an atonement.

"You showed me savagery, but also perseverance and tenacity."

Li Yi was shocked by this scene.

With just one word from the high priest, everyone voluntarily cut off an arm, and even he himself was willing to offer his life to settle the feud.

In order to survive, the people in Shoushan Village can indeed give up everything, including their own lives.

"Please keep your promise. Also, the high priest said before he died that your companions were taken to Beihuang City by the caravan. Maybe you can find them there." Shanguo raised her head and said loudly. There were tears in her eyes, but her face was full of stubbornness and strength.

"Since you have fulfilled the conditions, I will also abide by my agreement. This matter ends here. I will not seek revenge from you people in Shoushan Village in the future. If you people in Shoushan Village cannot let go of today's grudge, you can seek revenge from me at any time, but you must consider the price of revenge carefully."

Li Yi's silver vertical pupils swept across the soldiers guarding the mountain village, and finally his gaze fell on Shanguo. After giving the warning, he no longer wasted time staying here, but turned around and strode towards the strange beast Niu Niu behind him.

"Let's go to Beihuang City."

He turned over and sat on Niu Niu, then put the Thunder Fighter into the storage magic weapon.

Give an order.

The bull raised its hooves and roared, then vented its violent strength and ran wildly towards the north. Its speed was so fast that it tore through the sky, rolling up a long white air wave, and it disappeared from sight in just a moment.

And Shanyi in the sky flapped its wings and flew away. After Shanguo saw Li Yi leave, he relaxed all over, sat down on the ground, and cried loudly.

Shoushan Village suffered heavy losses that day. They lost their strongest warrior and their high priest. Even other people were injured and lost arms. They really didn’t know what to do in the future.

But Li Yi is also a victim.

He now has to find a way to rescue his teammates.

The world is big and dangerous.

Li Yi wanted to rush to the Beihuang City as soon as possible to complete the purpose of this trip, and then quickly leave this world. He was unwilling to stay here for a long time. After all, the purpose of his trip was just to pick exotic fruits, and he had no intention of taking a cross-border adventure at all, so he was not prepared at all. Otherwise, he would not have been attacked, captured and imprisoned.

As the strange beast Niu Niu continued to run.

After running for more than two hours, he finally saw the Beihuang City that Shanguo had mentioned.

It was a majestic city standing on the vast land. This city did not look like it was built by humans at all. The city wall was three or four hundred meters high, like a mountain. Moreover, the city was very large, and you could not see the end of the city wall at a glance. It was like a giant with its arms outstretched to embrace the entire world.

"In a world where gods exist, it is normal to have such a city." Li Yi was amazed in his heart, but then he felt relieved.

However, it can also be seen from this that the upper limit of military power in this world must be extremely high, and strong people emerge in endlessly. With his strength, he can only be timid. If he accidentally provokes someone he shouldn't provoke, he will probably die without knowing how he died.

So you must keep a low profile after entering this city.

Li Yi didn't even bring the strange beast with him. Instead, he ordered Shan Yi and Niu Niu to turn back the way they came and go back to the woods in front of the valley where the gods were buried. When they saw people, they should not attack them but try to hide themselves and wait for him to come back.

The two strange beasts obeyed the order and quickly turned around and left.

Li Yi made such arrangements because he was worried that he would bring strange beasts into the city and cause unnecessary trouble.

After making these arrangements, he controlled his inner energy and flew close to the ground, rushing towards the city.

The silver energy was so bright and eye-catching that in order not to attract anyone's attention, he chose to walk when he was close to the city and even gave up flying. However, his behavior still attracted the attention of a passing caravan.

The caravan was pulled by strange beasts, galloping on the wide road. No one knew what the strange beasts were, but they were huge, like cows and horses. Even at a gallop, they were still steady and had great endurance. Even though they were covered in dust, they did not look tired at all after coming from afar.

In the middle of the caravan there was a large bronze chariot with various exotic beasts carved on it. It was gorgeous and simple, and there was a canopy on top.

A middle-aged man in black clothes was kneeling in the carriage. At this moment, he saw Li Yi flying with the silver aura, and his eyes lit up: "A warrior who has awakened the divine blood. Qi, go, invite him."

"Yes, Master."

Then a warrior named Qi rode away quickly on a strange beast.

Li Yi also noticed this at this moment, and his expression froze.

soon.

The warrior Qi who rode the strange beast had already arrived in front of Li Yi. He got off his mount, saluted with a strange gesture, and said politely: "My master invites you, my divine blood warrior."

Li Yi looked at the soldier in front of him, and his intuition told him that this man was stronger than the man named Jujiao from Shoushan Village.

A person who can command such powerful people and own such a large caravan is probably not a simple person. Being targeted by such a person is not a good thing for Li Yi.

However, Li Yi had just arrived in Beihuang City and knew nothing about this place. He did not want to rashly offend an unknown person, so he immediately said, "Okay, let's go together."

Warrior Qi said respectfully: "Please take a seat, sir."

Li Yi hesitated a little, but nodded and sat on the mount.

Soon, the warrior Qi called his mount to set off immediately, carrying Li Yi back to the caravan, while he followed behind with big strides and arrived in front of the bronze chariot first.

"Master, guests are coming."

"Okay, stop the car first."

The middle-aged man gave the order, and then he stepped off the bronze carriage, bowed to Li Yi, and said, "My name is Xiu Xiang, and I am the leader of this caravan. Please forgive me for my presumptuous invitation."

Li Yi got off his mount and followed suit by bowing. He then made up a pseudonym: "My name is Dayi, and I'm from Shoushan Village. Thank you for inviting me."

"Shoushan Village is very easy? I passed by Shoushan Village last year, but I didn't see any divine blood warriors in the village." Xiu Xiang had some doubts.

"I followed ancient blood and memories to the canyon where the gods sleep, and recently moved into Shoushan Village." Li Yi said. He made up a reasonable identity in order to better integrate into this world and avoid arousing other people's suspicion.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the aura of your divine blood seems familiar. Your ancestor is actually a god who fell in the northern wilderness." The elephant cultivator suddenly realized and showed some respect for Li Yi.
