Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

"Yes, there are some strange things in this river, it seems to be some kind of creature." The human leader was surprised.

At this time, the river water was extremely black, as if it had been splashed with ink, and it exuded a strong smell of blood that was pungent and unpleasant.

"Quick, find the enemies and kill them all." Houyi shouted.

They groped at the bottom of the river and finally found something.

In the mud at the bottom of the river, there are many huge rocks with an uneven surface, hiding many strange creatures. They are black all over, like mummies.

Their bodies were severely decayed, their skin was cracked, and their mouths were open, revealing their white teeth.

This is shocking. Are these creatures enemies of humanity?
"Oh no! This is a mummy ghost from the demon clan." Houyi shouted in a lost voice, his face turning ugly.

This thing is extremely terrifying. It is a creature specifically used to hunt humans because they like to suck blood and human flesh is their favorite.

"Mummy?" Everyone was puzzled.

"The creatures of the demon race like to absorb essence and blood to strengthen themselves. These mummy ghosts are formed by absorbing our essence and blood." Houyi said solemnly.

"Doesn't that mean the entire river belongs to the monster clan?" Everyone was shocked. These things were as powerful as they were.

"No, the strength of these mummy ghosts is very weak. The most powerful ones are only comparable to those in the early stage of refining emptiness." Houyi calmed down and denied his previous thought.

Most of these mummy ghosts are low-level creatures, and the most powerful one is only comparable to the early stage of refining emptiness. They are not worth being afraid of.

"Kill!" Hou Yi roared and attacked directly.

Boom!
Raging flames swept out, submerging the mummy ghosts.

Houyi used the Burning Technique to refine these mummified ghosts, causing them to turn into ashes and disappear.

"The power of these mummy ghosts is not strong enough, or the power of this river is not strong enough, which is why these mummy ghosts have not become strong." Houyi speculated.

"Brother Houyi is right." The human leader agreed. He also deeply understood this conclusion.

"Houyi, why are you running to such a remote place? If it weren't for you, we would have died outside." Suddenly, a few more people came. They were Houyi's clansmen.

“Yes, you are lucky to have met me, Hou Yi.” Hou Yi said proudly.

Houyi's words made the tribesmen laugh and cry.

"This is our leader." someone introduced.

The crowd quieted down and started to greet each other.

"You have worked hard, go and take a rest." said the tribal leader.

The descendant asked, "Chief, do you know where there is a large tribe nearby?"

"Are you worried that the enemy will find us? Relax a little. Our tribe is not weaker than any other tribe. In fact, we are even stronger than any other tribe." The tribal chief assured, patting his chest.

Hou Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not about this matter. We need to move to another place."

"Oh, I understand, you want to avoid war." The tribal chief suddenly realized.

Houyi did not refute. It was true. He did not want to fight with other tribes.

Seeing that Houyi agreed, the tribal chief immediately called together all the tribesmen to discuss the relocation.

Their ancestral land is in the mountains and forests. Although it is not too remote, it is still relatively remote.

Now that Houyi is leaving, they have to make some arrangements, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move.

Later, after consultation among everyone, it was decided to move to the human territory.

"Brother Houyi, please come back to the village with us." Alva invited Houyi.

Hou Yi waved his hand to refuse, saying: "Don't bother us, you guys continue to stay here."

He then said goodbye to everyone and left with his human tribe.

The journey was not too far, and in just three days they arrived at the village.

The village is not big and is simply built. The houses are dilapidated, the walls are peeling and the paint is peeling, which looks very desolate.

There were not many people in the village, it was empty and there was not even a sound of chickens or dogs.

Houyi walked into the courtyard and felt that the village was a bit eerie.

"We might have caused trouble and angered the Human Emperor this time. I wonder if the Human Emperor will pursue the matter." Someone said worriedly.

Hou Yi said: "This is inevitable. If the emperor can't even do this, he is unworthy of being called the emperor."

"Oh, I hope it won't affect us." Someone sighed.

Hou Yi said, "Relax a bit. This time it was the daughter of the Emperor who caused the disaster. What does it have to do with us?"

"Houyi, you don't understand. Our ancestral teachings are to protect this land. If a human emperor really comes, we can't escape." Someone lamented.

Hou Yi said: "In that case, let's try to come here less often to avoid disaster. I see your clan leader is very optimistic."

When the human leader heard Houyi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he felt that what he said made sense.

"Our human race's ancestral land is on the edge of Dazezhou, about 50 million miles away from here."

"So long." Houyi said.

"This is also a helpless move. Our human race's ancestral land is not suitable for living in a prosperous area, otherwise it will attract the covetousness of other forces."

Hou Yi asked, "Are there any other tribes still existing?"

"There are a few. It is said that the Emperor has many descendants, and each of them is extremely talented."

Hou Yi frowned and said, "If that's the case, why don't the human race move to other large states, but stay in the border areas?"

The leader of the human race said: "We humans are too weak. Even if we want to move to a prosperous area, we dare not move rashly unless we find a strong backer."

"The human race has declined and has no backers. Who is willing to protect us?"

The human leader’s words made Houyi fall into deep thought.

"So, the human race is really in danger." Houyi frowned.

"Well, the human race was once glorious, but unfortunately the population became sparse and it gradually declined." The human leader sighed.

"Brother Houyi, I see that you are very capable. Are you interested in joining the human tribe, becoming a hero of our race, and protecting this land?" the human leader suddenly said.

Houyi was surprised. He didn't want to agree at first, after all, the human race was too weak.

But when he heard about protecting the land, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."

"I'm waiting for your reply." The human leader smiled with satisfaction.

"I admire your strength, Brother Houyi, and hope you can join our human race." Someone welcomed him warmly.

"Brother Houyi, your martial arts are extraordinary. Why don't you come to our tribe and be a warrior? You can receive hundreds of Shenyuan Pills every month." Someone else said.

Hou Yi smiled and said, "Okay."

Houyi's words were shocking because he agreed so readily.

"Brother Houyi, our tribe is very poor. I'm afraid we can't afford to support you, what do you think?" someone reminded him.

"Relax a bit, you have enough food to last until the next harvest season, right?" Houyi said.

The human leader was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Houyi into the house.

Afterwards, the human leader started talking with Houyi.

"Houyi, which tribe are you going to join?" asked the human leader.

"I have made it very clear just now, I want to find a wider world." Hou Yi said calmly. "Do you want to join the demon tribe?" asked the leader of the human race.

Houyi shook his head slightly. The demon clan was not suitable for him, and his ambitions were not limited to this.

"If you don't want to go to the demon clan, then choose our human clan. We have more strong people in our clan, and we also have the resources to train young people. If you join our human clan, you will definitely have a great future." said the human leader.

Hou Yi shook his head again and said firmly: "No, my goal is to become an immortal."

"Are you crazy? Your martial arts foundation is not solid. How can you become an immortal? Do you want to become an immortal in your physical body?" The human leader was surprised.

"No, I want to become a saint in the flesh." Houyi said confidently.

"Haha, you are really arrogant."

"Do you think it's that easy to sanctify the body? I don't know how many strong people are stuck at this stage of sanctifying the body."

"To achieve sainthood in the flesh, one must at least condense an eighth-grade golden lotus. This condition is too harsh. Throughout history, I have never heard of anyone achieving sainthood in the flesh."

Everyone laughed at Hou Yi and thought he was daydreaming.

Hou Yi said calmly: "If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"

"Oh, we can't argue with you. Please leave now and don't waste everyone's precious time."

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Hou Yi, are you leaving now? I still want to practice martial arts with you." Someone said regretfully.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm leaving." Houyi asked.

"We have something to do."

"We need help."

Everyone gathered around and said they wanted to ask for something.

Hou Yi said: "If you have something to say, please say it quickly. If you have something to say, please fart quickly. I have to go home and cook for my children."

Everyone's faces turned black, this was their line.

"Brother Houyi, you saved my life. I will not treat you unfairly. I would like to ask you to help us solve the difficulties of our tribe." Someone said.

"Yes, Brother Houyi, your martial arts are extraordinary. The warriors of our tribe are no match for you."

The leader of the human race said, "I have wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but it is difficult to say it. On behalf of my people, I beg you to help me."

"Our livelihood is difficult. We are attacked by ferocious beasts every two weeks, and every time there are heavy casualties."

When the human leader said this, his eyes turned red and he seemed a little angry and unwilling.

He said: "Since the Human Emperor distributed our land to us, our lives have gradually improved, but we are still not safe."

"Some time ago, the nearby Mace Tribe took advantage of our situation and invaded, plundering our cattle and sheep, and stealing a large amount of food and iron ore, causing us to become increasingly impoverished. If this continues, the entire tribe will be completely destroyed in a few years."

When everyone heard this, they were filled with indignation and hated the people of the Mace Tribe.

"Brother Hou Yi, I know that with your ability, you can definitely fight your way into the Mace Tribe, rescue our people, and restore justice to us."

Houyi frowned. This matter was a bit tricky. If he really rushed into the Mace Tribe, there would definitely be some trouble.

By then, the surrounding tribes will surely flock to him, and then he will be in big trouble.

"Brother Houyi, although our tribe is not populous, it is still a large tribe with four to five thousand people. We will come out in full force to help you break into the Mace Tribe and rescue your people." The human leader said solemnly.

"I need to think about it and I will reply to you tomorrow." Houyi said.

The human leader nodded and said, "Okay, come to me tomorrow and I will tell everyone the news. Then you can choose a tribe to join."

Houyi bowed, then turned and left, disappearing into the vast desert.

The leader of the human race looked into the distance, revealing a look of expectation and longing, and murmured: "Brother Houyi is really a hidden talent. His martial arts attainments are terrifying. I have never seen such powerful martial arts. He is definitely a talent, and perhaps he can really lead the human race to rise."

Afterwards, the human leader passed the message on.

Suddenly, countless human beings were boiling with excitement. They had all heard of Houyi's reputation, and he was the pride of the tribe.

Houyi's status in the tribe was second only to the leader.

At the same time, countless tribes were ready to invite Hou Yi to join, so that the tribe would have two top fighters in charge and would not be afraid of any tribe.

After Houyi returned to the tribe, he immediately called a meeting of the villagers.

"Everyone, the human race is in trouble now and needs our help. I decided to save the human race."

Everyone was talking about it, some supported it, some opposed it.

"Brother Houyi, although your martial arts are very powerful, the human race is too dangerous. There are thousands of races and ferocious beasts everywhere. If you are not careful, you will fall into a desperate situation." Someone advised.

"We can't abandon the tribe." Some people also objected.

Hou Yi said: "We humans are in great need of food and weapons. If we don't save them, we will starve to death in a few years, so we can't miss this opportunity."

"Besides, my strength has greatly increased. Even if I can't defeat a strong enemy, I still have a chance to escape."

Hou Yi continued: "I plan to rescue the human race alone, and I hope everyone will cooperate."

"I agree." The Human King raised both hands in agreement.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally someone stood up to express support.

"Brother Hou Yi, we are willing to support you, just go ahead and do what you want."

Hou Yi said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the human leader to say goodbye and then go straight to the mace tribe."

The next day, Houyi bid farewell to everyone, left the tribe, and headed towards the tribe where the human leader was.

Houyi was extremely fast and flew towards the tribe where the human leader was like lightning.

"What's that sound? It sounds like something is flying over here?" The human leader suddenly raised his head with an alert look.

There was a roar below, the earth shook, and dust flew all over the sky.

The human leader and others hurried out of the tent to investigate, but saw no trace of them.

"Strange, I clearly felt something passing by just now." The human leader asked in confusion.

"It must be my hallucination. After all, we are in the desert." said another human.

"Maybe. Let's take a rest." The human leader waved his hand and prepared to sleep.

However, just as he lay down on the bed, there was another roar, deafening and shaking the sand dunes.

"No way, something else is coming?" The human leader was frightened and quickly got up to check.

At this time, Houyi was walking in the air, his robes rustling.

"Who is this? Brother Houyi? It's really Brother Houyi." The human leader was surprised.

The others were also very happy. Houyi had not shown up for so many days. They originally thought that Houyi would not come to the tribe’s bonfire dinner, but they did not expect that he would actually come.

Everyone gave Hou Yi a warm welcome. He landed in front of the campfire. Everyone surrounded him and pushed him to sit down closest to the campfire.

Everyone looked at the bonfire and couldn't help but sighed: "Brother Hou Yi's temperament is getting more fierce and terrifying."

Hou Yi looked at everyone and asked, "How is your tribe?"

The human leader said: "We have a small population and are relatively poor, but we will work hard to develop and expand our tribe and strive for the day when the sun rises so that everyone can have enough food." (End of this chapter)
