Chapter 143: The Skeleton Wasteland, the Barbarian King comes out!
"It's true that we encountered some bad situations." Zhao Meiying's expression became more serious. She asked, "Have you heard of this place called Skull Plain?"

"heard about it."

Su Heng nodded. After all, he had lived in this world for five or six years.

And the location is high enough, so I have some understanding of geography.

Su Heng frowned slightly. "I heard that the environment in Skull Plain is quite bad. There are many cannibalistic barbarians living there, as well as a group of esoteric Buddhists who practice by inflicting pain on their followers, and many powerful and strange demons."

"Of course, these are all rumors. I don't know whether they are true or not."

"Even if it's just a rumor, it's spread based on a certain reality." Zhao Meiying said seriously, "Generally speaking, it's not bad, but in fact, the environment in the Skull Plain may be much more terrifying than what is described in those rumors."

"Oh?" Su Heng looked interested.

Even Li Hongxiu tilted her head, with a hint of seriousness in her clear eyes.

"Ahem!" Zhao Meiying coughed twice. "The reason why the Skull Plain is called this is because the environment of the wasteland is extremely harsh. During the day, humans live on the plain, as well as the pigs, sheep, cattle and horses they graze. But at night, once the sun sets, it becomes a place of demons and monsters."

"Is this what really happened?" Su Heng's eyes widened. Zhao Meiying's description reminded him of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

"Of course it's true."

Zhao Meiying said seriously, "A thousand years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, Taizu specially mobilized a large army and sent people to conquer Skull Plain. At the beginning, the war went smoothly. After all, the barbarians on Skull Plain are brave, but lack discipline. They only know how to rush forward. With a few tricks, they can be surrounded and annihilated without leaving a single one alive."

"But as the army continued to advance, the deeper they went into the Skull Plain, the more bizarre situations they encountered. Ghost soldiers passed through, the Styx changed its course, and so on. Later, even the commander Zhou Tong went crazy. The expedition ended in failure, and a wall was built on the border of Jiangbeizhou to isolate them from each other."

"Since Taizu failed in the past, why is he mobilizing troops now?" Su Heng asked in surprise, "Are those barbarians restless and starting to attack?"

"Yes." Zhao Meiying explained, "Normally, the barbarians on the Skull Plain pose limited threats to the dynasty. In fact, the reason they can survive is largely because the environment on the Skull Plain is special and the army cannot penetrate deep into it."

"But this time it's different."

"What has changed?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that a barbarian king was born on the Skull Plain." Zhao Meiying said seriously, "Legend has it that this man was born with double pupils, and when he was born, he was blessed by a goddess and protected by a Vajra Buddha.

He took a senior monk from Skull Plain as his master and practiced for more than 30 years, mastering the secret Buddhist techniques to an unprecedented level.

Then he subdued the demon with great courage and made him his guardian deity, and then he resolved the grudges with thunderous means. The four most powerful barbarian tribes on the Skeleton Plain were all united under his command. The smaller tribes came to him after hearing the news, and the power of the Barbarian King was growing every day. "

"Whether it's by force or other means, resolving grudges is the most difficult, and this is remarkable."

Su Heng asked, "Is there no response from the court?"

"How could there not be!" Zhao Meiying said, "In fact, when the Barbarian King just came out of the mountains, Jiangbeizhou had already sent the Demon Suppression Army to suppress him. Because Jiangbeizhou is located on the border, the Demon Suppression Army there is also very strong."

"and after……"

"Later, not a single one was left alive." Zhao Meiying said gloomily, "From the lowest-ranking soldiers to the lieutenant generals, the main generals and even the army commanders, they were all killed, and only their heads were sent back."

"What level of person is the military commander?" Su Heng asked.

"Heavenly Strange Realm." Zhao Meiying said, "In fact, it's not just the army leader, some of the main generals have also reached this realm. But even the strong ones in the Heavenly Strange Realm were not able to escape from the Skull Plain alive. I don't know what they encountered, but I heard that the expressions of those heads were extremely terrified."

"This is indeed scary." Su Heng thought about it.

The Tiangui realm of human warriors is equivalent to the death-level lord among demons.

Su Heng had fought against such a being before and knew how terrifying such a being was.

Even now.

He is confident that he can defeat some death-level monsters.

But there is no certainty that it can be killed.

The reason why they were able to kill the Crocodile Lord was because the other party took a horizontal training route and was not good at escaping.

Even so, it was difficult for Su Heng to kill him, and an accident almost happened in the middle. Not to mention making the death-level demon feel fear, that must be a crushing advantage to do so.

Thinking about it this way, the strength of the Barbarian King is really unbelievable.

However, it is also possible that the other party took advantage of some special geographical environment of Skull Plain to carry out targeted ambushes and killings.

"No matter what, be careful." Su Heng warned.

"Thank you." Zhao Meiying smiled widely. "Don't worry. I've been in the Demon Suppression Army for more than a hundred years. I'm already an old hand. Nothing will happen to me."

"The last time you said this, we broke into the dojo of a death-level lord." Ai Qing heard this and started to sabotage.

"Last time you said something similar, you went to challenge this guy in front of you." Chen Yang said sarcastically, "You will win!"

"You two are going to die!" Zhao Meiying was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves.

The white wrists are exposed in the sun.

Ai Qing and Chen Yang quickly hid back timidly, with frightened expressions on their faces. "You guys get along pretty well." Su Heng said with a smile.

He is quite gentle towards his friends.

"I'm going to Skull Plain. Although I'm confident that I can survive, there's really no way these two little guys can survive." Zhao Meiying touched her nose and pleaded, "I want to keep them here as errands for you. I wonder if Lord Dusi can help me through a backdoor."

"Of course." Su Heng nodded and said to the two kids, "You're most welcome."

The two of them were probably around 25 or 26 years old, and their strength was at the peak of the demonic form. It was conservatively estimated that they would be able to break through to the demon fetus realm before the age of 30. Regardless of when they started practicing, their talent was already quite good.

Moreover, Su Heng had seen how Zhao Meiying behaved, so these two people were worthy of trust.

Su Heng would naturally not reject such energetic fresh blood.

"There is another thing..." Zhao Meiying's face showed some hesitation this time, "It's about the secret method of the Eight Phases of Tyrant Dragon. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

"It's okay." Su Heng already had some guesses in his mind.

"I want to copy two copies of the basic diagrams and cultivation methods of the Tyrant Dragon Secret Technique from you and bring them to the Demon Suppression Army." Zhao Meiying said, "In the Demon Suppression Army, there are quite a few people who practice this secret technique. Many of them have been trapped for years or even decades. If there is a complete content, they will definitely be able to make a breakthrough."

"The commander of Jiangzhou's Demon Suppression Army has also been researching this secret method, but unfortunately there has been little progress."

"He is a pure martial arts fanatic. He would be very surprised if he could see the content you have completed. Of course, I know the rules. I will not take it for nothing. I will try my best to get a generous reward for you from the Demon Suppression Army, or even from the army lord himself."

Zhao Meiying said seriously.

But she was still a little nervous inside, and even afraid that Su Heng would turn against her.

Because "the law is not easily passed on", revealing the secret method that one has worked hard to cultivate will not only cause psychological imbalance, but also easily expose some flaws and weaknesses to one's opponents. Even when a father passes it on to his son, he often has to keep some of it in reserve, not to mention between outsiders.

Zhao Meiying lowered her head deeply, not knowing what would happen next.

Even I felt that my request was a bit excessive.

but……

What surprised her was.

"Okay!" Su Heng nodded and agreed.

"Did you agree to it so easily?" This time it was Zhao Meiying who was surprised. "We haven't even discussed the remuneration yet."

"It doesn't matter." Su Heng said calmly, "My martial arts are here, anyone who wants to learn can do so."

"you……"

His straightforward attitude made Zhao Meiying a little confused.

Even felt shocked.

"You must have spent a lot of effort to complete these skills." Zhao Meiying said carefully, "If you just pass them out casually, what if they fall into the hands of your opponents and are used against you? Also, aren't you worried that someone will practice the same skills and surpass you?"

"Hahaha!" Su Heng laughed out loud upon hearing these words.

"I want to be absolutely strong, not relatively strong. If someone can find problems in my skills, even if my opponent can do this, it only means that I have not reached the realm of perfection, which is a good thing."

"As for practicing the same technique that surpasses me..."

Su Heng shook his head and said calmly but confidently, "I am strong because of myself, not because of external things like skills. Even if I practice a lower-level secret method, I can reach the same level. At most, it just takes a little more time."

Zhao Meiying was infected by the confidence and magnanimity he exuded. She bowed deeply to Su Heng and said, "I am narrow-minded."

"But no matter what, I will still fight for the compensation you deserve." Zhao Meiying said seriously.

"Okay." Su Heng nodded.

He is not a fool. There is no reason for him to refuse the resources that are delivered to his doorstep.

"Here are the basic drawings I made in my spare time. You don't need to go there specifically to copy them."

Su Heng rolled up the pattern he had just drawn on the table and handed it to Li Hongxiu beside him. Li Hongxiu tied a bow on the scroll with her hair, then took out another scroll from the cabinet beside her. She held it in her arms and handed it to Zhao Meiying.

Zhao Meiying reached out to take it, her face full of surprise.

"Then we'll say goodbye..." She waved her hand, "I don't know when we'll meet again."

Zhao Meiying left gracefully.

Chen Yang and Ai Qing followed reluctantly for two steps and then stopped.

A girl's soft sobbing could be heard in the corridor.

Chen Yang patted his junior sister's shoulder and looked up at the sun outside the window. He rubbed his eyes and lazily sighed, "Today's sun is really dazzling."
