Zhang Liao was stunned and looked at Zhao Yun: "How did Zilong know that?"
Zhao Yun's eyes showed surprise, and then he immediately said to Liu Zhaoqing with surprise:
"My lord, Wenyuan is... about to awaken the spirit of the earth."
"what?!"
"According to my experience, it must be that the beast in the distance is extremely compatible with Wen Yuan. If he is endowed with earth spirits, Wen Yuan will be able to become a heavenly being!"
Chapter 206 Luo Luo 4.6K
"Ah? Earth spirit?"
Liu Zhaoqing was so shocked by Zhao Yun's words that he stood still for a long while.
Even though he had seen the Hu people fleeing at the news of his death, Liu Zhaoqing did not show such shock.
Liu Zhaoqing actually knew very little about the spiritual affairs of the earth.
Although there are many talented people around him, but talented people like his wife and Baoer are different from ordinary people.
Their becoming outstanding people was not a traditional awakening, but was closely related to the Taiping Sutra.
What is the earth spirit of Zhang Jiao and Baoer and how did they obtain it? Even they themselves cannot explain it clearly.
The word was very vague, not some kind of animal, but more like some kind of concept. Liu Zhaoqing was confused, so he didn't ask.
As for someone like Guo Jia, although she was a great man in the past, she has now regressed to a human state due to a natural disease. It is impossible for Liu Zhaoqing to be so foolish as to poke her in the sore spot and ask her how to become a great man.
Therefore, in fact, the most "normal" outstanding person around Liu Zhaoqing is only Zhao Yun.
But Zhao Yun actually didn't have many opportunities to have a deep chat with her. For the development of Changping, she not only needed to train troops every day, but also often had to lead the team out on patrol all night.
The occasional opportunities to spend time with her were basically when she was doing serious work, and Liu Zhaoqing didn't have many chances to chat with her.
So until now, Liu Zhaoqing found that he still didn't quite understand what "Earth Spirit" was and how to obtain it.
After all, he himself is not a great man, so of course he subconsciously doesn't pay much attention to this.
"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded and said excitedly: "'Earth Spirit' is usually an auspicious beast that has the ability to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and exhale the breath of mountains and seas."
"We are outstanding people. Each of us has different potential and gifts. It is already very difficult to find the right 'earth spirit'."
"And the auspicious beasts that are worthy of being called 'earth spirits' are even rarer, and are usually the best among their species."
"In other words, 'Earth Spirit' is a powerful auspicious beast?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.
"That's not entirely true." Zhao Yun hurriedly shook his head and looked at Zhang Liao: "A beast that can be called an 'earth spirit' must not only be powerful, but also extremely intelligent, and must be in a special breakthrough state."
"Special breakthrough state?"
"It's similar to Wenyuan's current state, about to move from the earth to the sky." Zhao Yun continued, "It's the same with earth spirits. When they move from auspicious beasts to divine beasts, the breath of the mountains and seas and the essence of heaven and earth around them are at their most concentrated."
This is what she calls her "special breakthrough state."
Zhao Yun said: "At this time, if the earth spirit is highly compatible with me as an earth-born person, I will be able to receive its spiritual power and absorb a trace of the earth spirit into myself, turning it into my own 'earth spirit', thereby improving my physical strength, spirit, and heaven-given potential in all aspects."
"Even if the Earth Spirit is compatible with me to a 99% degree, I can release the essence of the Earth Spirit in future battles."
“And in the legend, there are very few people whose compatibility can reach 100%. Such outstanding people can even directly transform into the earth spirit that bestowed them with spirit, thus reaching a certain magical state and realm.”
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, although Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao did not fully understand, they roughly understood that the land spirits needed for heroes to move from the earth level to the sky level are rare and rarely seen in decades.
This is harder than breaking through from the character "人" to the character "地". It also depends on the will of heaven. Generally, people with the character "地" will never be able to find their own earth spirit in their entire life.
Those noble families or wealthy families with great resources can use their own resources and power to search the world for land spirits that suit them, so this is why most of the outstanding people in the world today come from extraordinary backgrounds.
But for someone like Zhang Liao, who came from a humble background, being able to reach the level of Earth was already a great fortune. If he missed this opportunity, with Liu Zhaoqing's power and resources at that time, it would be hard to say how long Zhang Liao would have to wait before he could meet the Earth Spirit that suited him.
"I think there are less than a hundred Hu people fighting with the beast. They should be a small group of troops from the Wuhuan royal court, but it could also be a trap to lure the enemy." Zhao Yun calmed down at this time and analyzed to Liu Zhaoqing.
"Although it is difficult to find the Wenyuan Earth Spirit, but... we only have 800 cavalrymen. If we are ambushed by the main force of the Wuhuan, this whole plan may fail."
The judgment and decision of the current situation is left to Liu Zhaoqing.
Liu Zhaoqing did not let them wait too long. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision: "The grassland is not like the mountains. Unless the Wuhuan also have the ability to open up space like the Xianbei flying soldiers, it is unlikely to set an ambush in such a place."
"It seems more like the Wuhuan royal army encountered a auspicious beast on their way, and because they were afraid of delaying their journey, they left a small team behind to capture the beast."
“Time waits for no man, opportunity must not be missed.”
Liu Zhaoqing drew out his sword, then flicked the reins and spurred his horse forward.
"Let us take over all the Hu people and earth spirits."
Liu Zhaoqing certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity to "take over".
And even if it was really an ambush, it would not be difficult for the cavalry led by Liu Zhaoqing to break through in this open grassland.
Following his order.
Zhao Yun, together with Zhang Liao, who had regained his composure, led 800 cavalrymen and followed Liu Zhaoqing towards the distant grassland.
At this moment, more than a dozen Hu soldiers in the distance had fallen, and the remaining ones were confronting a sturdy green monster.
The beast, which was surrounded by dozens of Hu people, was at least ten feet tall, green in color, and shaped like a tiger. There was still blood on the two huge fangs in its mouth.
Facing the Hu people surrounding him, the beast's blue eyes revealed endless anger, but also a bit of helplessness, and he felt deeply powerless.
But the Hu people were different. Although they were shocked by the beast's strong fighting ability, they could clearly see at this time that the beast was now at the end of its strength.
All they need is a short period of confrontation, and this beast will be theirs.
So everyone's expression was quite relaxed.
If it was a simple kill, there would be no need to shed blood for the dozen or so fallen Hu people, but the king ordered that the beast be captured alive so that it could be presented as a gift to the Holy Spirit.
"It's clearly a auspicious beast, yet it has such strong power. It's really a good thing!" Some Hu people saw that the beast's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and it was obviously about to collapse, so they began to sigh.
"I don't know what meat tastes like, and whether the Holy Spirit Ancestor likes to eat it."
"Stop talking so much. Put the rope around its neck and catch it quickly. We have wasted so much time. If the king blames us, we will all be doomed."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The king is that kind of person. I have never seen such a big tiger in my life. I have to take a few more looks at it."
"The tiger is tired, and so are we."
"What are you talking about? There's nothing to worry about except grass and blue sky on this grassland. Do you think someone will come and snatch it from us?"
"Have you forgotten the attack on the eastern settlement?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten. If it weren't for the king's pressure, I would have gone south to avenge my dead compatriots."
"Yeah, what you mean, do you think that Han Hou will come here?"
"If he really dares to come here, we should be happy..."
Even if they are not outstanding people, most people have the "God-given" ability to brag, and these Wuhuan Hu people are no exception.
The Wuhuan Hu people were all laughing at Liu Zhaoqing, saying that he was not a real hero and was only good at sneak attacks. If he appeared in front of them, they would definitely disregard the king's orders and kill him.
Just at this moment, the big green tiger they were surrounding suddenly raised its head and looked into the distance, and the Hu people also looked in the direction the tiger was looking in confusion.
For a moment, they were simply stunned.
In the distance, on the grassland where the sun was setting, there was suddenly a patch of black, covering the whole sky and earth and coming towards them.
Eight hundred cavalrymen rushed down from the high slope of the grassland, and the scene was far more shocking than their boasting.
Not to mention that when the leader got closer, they saw his young face and could even feel the fierce aura emanating from him.
Who else could such a young general be except the Han Hou who had previously attacked the eastern settlements in Wuhuan Mountain?
These Hu soldiers were much more formal than those Liu Zhaoqing had encountered before. They were pure royal court troops.
So when they realized that Liu Zhaoqing had actually come, the Hu soldiers quickly took their weapons, prepared to mount their horses and flee in all directions.
"Quickly disperse and pass the news back to the king!"
The troops led by Liu Zhaoqing were obviously much larger than their team. What they had to do now was to report the news of Liu Zhaoqing's coming to the grassland to the king, which would be a great achievement.
Liu Zhaoqing, who was not far away, also discovered the intentions of these Hu people and immediately ordered Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to divide into two teams to intercept them.
However, as the royal court soldiers were deliberately fleeing, it was almost impossible for Liu Zhaoqing to kill them all.
Just when Liu Zhaoqing thought of taking some special measures, such as letting Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao leave the army alone to pursue and kill the enemy, an accident occurred on the Hu side.
The originally tired Qinghu also noticed the panic of the Hu people around it. It did not take advantage of the chaos to escape. Instead, it swung its tail and slammed the two Hu people and their horses to the ground.
Then it suddenly pounced on the two Hu people who were fleeing into the distance, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the two men in half.
With Qinghu's help, Liu Zhaoqing's troops had almost killed all the Hu people when they arrived at the battlefield.
However, Liu Zhaoqing definitely wanted to leave a few people alive in order to find out the whereabouts and purpose of the King of Wuhuan, and in the end he did capture two people alive.
But unexpectedly, when his soldiers captured the two surviving Wuhuan soldiers, the giant blue tiger slapped the two men into the grass with one palm, leaving only flesh and blood.
This frightened the two escorting Yellow Turban riders so much that they retreated repeatedly.
The tiger's behavior made the Yellow Turban Cavalry nervous. They picked up their weapons and surrounded the big blue tiger in an instant.
"Roar!" The big green tiger growled at the surrounding yellow turban cavalry.
The soldiers also dismounted and approached the tiger step by step with long spears in hand.
The green tiger bared its teeth, and hot, smelly air kept coming out of its mouth. There were many wounds on its limbs, but it was still able to make a last stand.
At this tense moment, Liu Zhaoqing raised his hand.
"Ten steps back."
The soldiers obeyed the order, and although they were still on guard, they slowly retreated ten steps.
Now that the oppressive and tense feeling around him was gone, the big blue tiger relaxed a little.
But at this time, Liu Zhaoqing walked towards it, step by step, approaching it slowly and steadily.
"Roar……"
The green tiger was growling, and Liu Zhaoqing stopped two meters in front of it.
"Do you understand human language?"
Liu Zhaoqing asked Qinghu.
"I think you should understand." Liu Zhaoqing ignored the green tiger and looked at it and said, "Although we and the Hu people are both human, we are Han people. Rather than being of the same race, you should be able to see that we have no ill will towards you."
"Although you didn't hurt my soldiers, you beat those two barbarians to death."
Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "So, you have to leave something behind to compensate me for the information I should have gotten. For example, why did the King of Wuhuan want to capture you?"
Qinghu really understood what people said and immediately became alert.
"My benefactor, it... doesn't seem to be a auspicious beast." Zhang Liao suddenly said at this time.
"Ok?"
"Wenyuan is right, and... something seems wrong." At this time, Zhao Yun, riding on his horse, also looked at Qinghu in confusion.
"It has green eyes and green hair, and looks like a tiger. This should be... 'Luoluo', right? Although this beast is a lucky beast when it is fully grown, the size and strength of this one in front of us show that it is a juvenile, just like an ordinary exotic beast."
"Although the Luo Luo beast looks ferocious, it basically lives in the mountains and rarely comes into contact with mortals. It also doesn't eat humans. How could it be so cruel to these barbarians?"
"Is it because these barbarians have caused too much damage to it?" a soldier speculated.
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, then frowned and looked at Luo Luo: "It should be only part of the reason. Besides, Wen Yuan's previous reaction was obviously that he sensed the 'Earth Spirit', but Luo Luo has not reached the level of the 'Earth Spirit'..."
There is obviously something wrong with this green tiger.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Luo Luo began to retreat in small steps, but at this time Zhao Yun swung his silver spear, jumped directly from the horse's back, then stepped on Luo Luo's back, making him fall directly to the ground, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head.
"My lord, this strange beast could be a bait or a trap."
This is why Zhao Yun suddenly launched an attack.
Not only her, but also the soldiers around her, and even Zhang Liao, all felt that there was something seriously wrong with Luo Luo.
And on this grassland, a strange beast that can speak human language inexplicably appeared in this place. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an enemy trap.
Luo Luo, who was controlled by Zhao Yun, still wanted to resist, but Zhao Yun only exerted a little force with his right foot and firmly stepped on the exhausted young beast, which had not yet reached the level of auspicious beast.
Liu Zhaoqing looked at Luo Luo, thought for a moment, and then came to him.
Then he said: "If it is a trap, then the Wuhuan army lying in ambush around would have appeared at this moment."
"I think it might have just gotten separated from its tribe and was targeted by the Wuhuan King."
