Chapter 96: Bronze and Tiger Country
Hoooo ...

Hoooo ...

A horn sounded in the distance, desolate and ancient.

Song Wuji climbed a large tree… There were trees like this everywhere, at least 20 to 30 feet tall. They looked like they were from a more primitive era. If he could crack this secret realm and obtain the secret realm token, these trees would be very valuable, if nothing else.

Song Wuji looked over and saw a group of men, barefoot and naked, with long hair and tattoos, pulling a bronze chariot. Atop the chariot sat a tiger demon, a human with a tiger's head, dressed in silk. Beside him were ghosts with sinister auras.

[Tiger slave]
[Tiger Fang sends down the doctor. Tiger chases]

[Minister. Retainer]

The bronze chariot is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but is larger, and even the wheels are bronze hubs.

No horses, pure human power.

Tiger slaves look like humans, but upon closer inspection, you can see that they have some tiger characteristics, such as body hair, eyes, and ears... they're just more human-like.

Song Wuji thought to himself, "Bronze artifacts... look like they have a very long history."

After looking around and seeing that there were no other tiger monsters nearby, Song Wuji immediately decided to take action, kill the tiger monster first, and peel off the tiger skin.

He immediately climbed down the tree and patted the cat's head.
The cat catcher sensed Song Wuji's thoughts, bared his teeth, and rushed forward immediately.

Song Wuji followed suit.

As soon as the Cat Catcher appeared, the tiger demon shouted, "What kind of tiger are you? Why are you stopping me?"

The cat catcher pounced directly on him.

The tiger demon was furious: "So you are just an unintelligent beast of a tiger, so audacious!"

"Tiger Slave Army! Capture him!"

Immediately, the tiger slaves pulling the chariot gathered together. These tiger slaves all looked like barbarians, with loose hair, tattoos, bare feet and naked bodies, but they quickly took out weapons from around the chariot. They were bronze weapons, similar to Gan and Ge.

Gan is a shield and Ge is a weapon, but these Ge are short ones. They don’t look long and when swung, they look like long sickles.

The tiger slaves protected the bronze chariot with fierce looks on their faces, intimidating the cat catcher.

Judging from their aura, these tiger slave soldiers are of low rank, but they are physically strong.

The spear hit something, making a sound. At the same time, the tiger slave stomped his feet hard on the ground and made a sound with his mouth!
"retreat!"

"retreat!"

"retreat!"

The noisy sound made the cat catcher very impatient. He meowed and his fur stood on end. Then he became like a cat with fire all over his body and used his body skills to shuttle into the tiger slave army like a flash of lightning.

There were 25 people in one chariot. These tiger slave soldiers had formed a tight battle formation, but they were still found vulnerable by the cat catcher.

Moreover, the ability to wield fire frightened these tiger slaves even more. Their momentum suddenly stopped, and one of them howled, "This is the Fire God sent by the High Priest!"

The tiger demon was also surprised: "He has mastered the power of fire. Could he really be the high priest?"

But the next moment, Song Wuji appeared, wearing a Nuo mask and holding a wooden stick.

"witch!"

The tiger demon's eyes narrowed: "Witch, why did you stop me?"

"The small country in the cangzhong area has not paid tribute according to the alliance agreement and has broken its oath. The king has sent me to fight against it and bring back enough spoils!" "If you delay the important matter, you can't afford it!"

Song Wuji never expected that after wearing the Nuo mask, the tiger demon would think he was a "witch".

At the same time, the tiger slave's expression also revealed fear, indicating that there was indeed a witch in the Tiger Kingdom who possessed the power of fire.

Judging from these bronze artifacts, this witch might also have mastered smelting technology.

So Song Wuji also started to play with flames and try to trick the tiger demon.

Although the tiger demon is a demon, it is still afraid of fire by nature. What's more, Song Wuji's fire is now the stove fire of thousands of households and has eighth-grade characteristics.

Although it looks a little different from the copper smelting fire of the high priest, it is also a power that the people of Hufang fear.

"I am the disciple of the high priest. Why am I stopping you here? Don't you know the reason?"
The tiger demon immediately pondered: "Could it be that the divination is unlucky? But the divination had already revealed the result before the expedition..."

"Or are those old ministers starting to cause trouble again?"

Cang Zhongguo was only a country of ten miles. The Hufang Kingdom sent troops against it only because it was disobedient and did not pay tribute on time. Therefore, they only sent out one chariot of soldiers to deter it. It was a diplomatic move, not a direct occupation or massacre. Otherwise, there would be no suitable slaves who could farm.

On the contrary, those old ministers of Hufang Kingdom, who controlled a large number of troops, were disrespectful to the new king... They simply forgot their duty as ministers!

After he said this, he looked at Song Wuji again, but Song Wuji just remained silent, waiting to see what else he could say.

"Did I guess wrong?"

"It's actually the Kui Kingdom that's attacking? Haven't those long insects already formed an alliance with the king? Will they go back on their word?"

When Song Wuji heard this, he knew that the Hufang Kingdom was the secret realm controlled by the tiger demon, and the Qi Kingdom and the Changchong were most likely the secret realm where the Luohu python was located.

So he said, "The war has stopped, and the high priest asked you to return the way you came!"

"How is that possible? There are more and more foreign demons. This trip to Cang China is not only to collect tribute, but also to help them deal with foreign demons. Foreign demons only plunder, destroy, and kill people from all countries. However, as long as we kill one foreign demon, we can also go to the foreign land. Although I heard that it is a poor place, it has gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain... and the servants are more attentive than each other."

Song Wuji was shocked when he heard this: "Haven't you ever killed an evil demon from outside the domain?"

"Your Majesty, we need a large number of demons as human sacrifices to the Tiger God in order to obtain the Mandate of Heaven and divine power. However, we do not have enough of these demons."

This is an ancient sacrifice that used human sacrifices. It was a blood sacrifice and blood food, and was popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Song Wuji was distracted for a moment, thinking: These evil demons are probably just ordinary people who have entered the secret realm... But, are there still living people in this secret realm? Can I rescue them?
Song Wuji thought of the soul-lost people in the Soul-Calling Secret Realm.

Then he looked at these "tiger slaves". These tiger slaves also had human form and looked like "half-demons". They were obviously creatures from the secret realm like the rat people.

"Can they come out? Can I pass on the fire and gather fuel to the humanoid creatures in the secret realm?"

At this moment, the tiger demon suddenly said, "No! You are not a witch. A witch's mask is made of bronze! Not wood!"

Although the tiger demon was frightened at first, his somewhat foolish appearance was consistent with Song Wuji's stereotype of the creatures in the secret realm.

But he was able to sense something was wrong and attacked Song Wuji. His intelligence was stronger than that of ordinary demons.

"kill!"

As soon as the tiger demon pressed the bronze chariot, a bronze square box on the chariot opened, and a set of bronze armor, which seemed to be a magic weapon, was quickly attached and embedded in the tiger demon's body.

At the same time, he grabbed a bronze sword and shouted, "How dare you play tricks on me? I'll kill you!"
