Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"I know the importance of this matter." The clan leader nodded solemnly and said, "I will never let anyone know the existence of this jade stone. I will plant it in the spiritual field and guard it day and night."

The clan leader was extremely excited and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Houyi, please relax. I will definitely live up to your high expectations."

"Yeah." Houyi turned and left the tribal hall.

Now the various human tribes have formed an alliance and established a huge force to form a coalition.

As soon as Houyi walked out of the hall, he met the two oldest priests in the tribe. These two priests had followed the patriarch for hundreds of thousands of years and were deeply favored by the patriarch.

The old priest sighed and said, "Alas, I never thought that the Great Sage Hou Yi would really return and bring back such a precious gift."

Another young priest also agreed: "What a pity, no matter how we advised the tribe leader, he always insisted on not being an enemy of Hou Yi brothers, otherwise our tribe would definitely be a hundred times stronger."

"Forget it." The old priest shook his head and said, "Let's not talk too much. The clan leader will naturally make his own decision. As subjects, we should respect the clan leader."

Houyi shook his head bitterly when he heard this. These two priests were indeed loyal, but unfortunately they were sometimes unwise.

Houyi continued to patrol other places and soon arrived at the northwest border of the tribe.

There are dozens of small tribes stationed in this area. Their leaders and priests are all acquaintances of Houyi. They are all old ministers who have followed the tribe leader for hundreds of thousands of years. Each of their tribes has hundreds of thousands of people.

"Brother Houyi." As soon as Houyi appeared, he was surrounded by several little guys.

These are all his friends, and they have a very good relationship with each other on a daily basis.

"You little guys have grown so tall, but your skin is getting darker and darker, like charcoal." Houyi rubbed their heads.

"Humph, Brother Houyi is bad, bullying a child."

"Woo woo, Brother Houyi hit me, mother, come and help me get revenge."

A few naughty kids cried to their mother in a spoiled manner.

"Brother Houyi is the best." The naughty kids shouted.

Hou Yi touched his nose and said awkwardly: "I am here to inspect. Don't be naughty and get back to work."

"Yes."

This group of naughty kids obediently ran to work. They all knew that Brother Houyi was very powerful and more brutal than their grandfather, the clan leader. He even dared to challenge Zulong.

Watching the group of naughty kids leave, Hou Yi murmured, "Alas, I wanted to teach them a lesson, but it seems that I can't. They are too naughty."

Houyi shook his head and prepared to leave.

"Brother Houyi, please stay."

There was a shout from behind.

Houyi turned around and found that the tribe's largest chief was chasing him.

"Is there anything wrong, Chief?" Houyi asked puzzledly.

The chief of the tribe smiled kindly and said, "Brother Houyi, I would like to invite you to visit my cave. I wonder if Brother Houyi is willing?"

Hou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then it is better to obey than to be respectful."

"Hahahaha." The chief laughed loudly and said, "Brother Houyi is straightforward. I like it. Please."

The two entered the chief's tribal cave.

The chief pointed at the patterns on the wall and explained, "Brother Houyi, please look, these patterns are all Kunlun artifacts that I made based on the Kunlun mirror. They are extremely powerful. If they can be integrated into weapons, the combat effectiveness will be three times better."

Houyi carefully observed the structure of the Kunlun Mirror and found it to be extremely mysterious and difficult to fully understand.

Suddenly, the chief's face became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Houyi, did you see that thing in the corner? It exudes a cold aura, I'm afraid it's not simple."

Houyi looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was indeed something lying at the foot of the wall.

It was a palm-sized box, completely black.

"I got this item by chance. It once emitted a colorful glow, and there were faint cries of grief coming from it."

"I suspect that it is actually a magical device, but I don't think it is."

As he spoke, the chief reached out for the black box and slowly opened it.

Suddenly, a miserable wail was heard from the black box, and the surface of the box was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

The box broke into pieces, revealing the contents of the black box.

This was a baby-like creature, completely black, with hollow eyes and blood coming out of its mouth. It looked extremely strange.

Houyi couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother Houyi, what on earth is this?" asked the chief.

Hou Yi frowned, stared at the dark baby and said, "It may be a living being, or the incarnation of a magic weapon."

"It feels to me like a dead creature, or like the incarnation of some living creature. In short, this thing is very weird."

"Oh." The chief was surprised and said, "So there is such a thing. We must tell the tribe leader about this, otherwise our tribe will be destroyed sooner or later."

Houyi nodded in agreement.

Houyi left the tribe and went to Kunlun Mountain.

"call--"

Houyi flew in the clouds at an incredible speed and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Half a day later, Houyi descended on Kunlun Mountain and went deep into the mountain. He found the tribe leader and told him what had happened, including the matter of the black box.

"It's actually Kunlun's divine weapon. No wonder it has such a strange reaction." The clan leader was surprised and asked, "Brother Houyi, are you sure you can control it?"

Hou Yi shook his head and said, "I am not sure, because it gives me a very strange feeling. I suspect that this thing was born from the soul and has its own independence."

"Brother Houyi, your concerns are reasonable, but this is a magical weapon after all. Everyone in our tribe wants it, even the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Qilin are no exception."

As he spoke, the clan leader took out the Kunlun Sword and said, "Brother Houyi, look, this is the immortal weapon, known as the king of attack, it can cut through everything in the world, it is extremely powerful."

Hou Yi took the Kunlun Sword and said, "I remember this sword. I used to play with it when I was a child."

"Haha." The chieftain smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Houyi, since you have come to my place, I would like to invite you to join my tribe. What do you think, Brother Houyi?"

"I want to think about it again." Hou Yi refused: "I don't like being bound, I prefer freedom."

"Brother Houyi, you misunderstood my meaning. How can I bear to restrain you?"

The tribe leader said: "In fact, I am worried about you. You are the only two people in our tribe who know the art of refining weapons, and we do not know how to refine weapons. Therefore, I want to invite you to go deep into Kunlun Mountain to learn the art of refining weapons."

"I know you have ambitions, but think about it. Our tribe is in need of people right now, and you have done us too much good."

"I hope you can become our weapon refiner and provide enough weapons and armor for the entire tribe."

"When the tribe grows stronger, I will give you something more precious."

"Brother Houyi, please agree to this." the chief pleaded.

Faced with the sincere invitation of the tribe leader, Hou Yi hesitated for a long time and said: "I can agree to your request, but I need to collect materials. Only after I have collected all the materials will I go into the depths of Kunlun Mountain."

"Brother Hou Yi is truly a hero. I thank you on behalf of the tribe. Please relax your conditions. You can ask for whatever you need."

Hou Yi said: "I need iron ore and stone."

"I will send someone to take you there right away."

"Okay, thank you for your help, chief." Houyi said.

Then Houyi followed the tribe leader's men and left.

In addition, the news of Houyi's conversation with the clan leader deep in the Kunlun Mountains quickly spread throughout the place.

"Brother Houyi finally agreed to join our tribe."

"Chief, do you think Hou Yi is a spy sent by the enemy country?"

"Although Brother Houyi knows the art of refining weapons, he has never had any teacher, so he is self-taught."

"Hou Yi is a hero of our tribe. We must not harm him."

Everyone was talking among themselves, making all kinds of guesses, but most people believed that Hou Yi truly loved the tribe and wanted to contribute to it.

At this moment, inside the tribal sacrificial hall.

Houyi and the tribe leader sat on the high platform, while priests, warriors and tribesmen filled the square.

"Chief." The priest said with his hands clasped together.

"Master Priest, I have called you all here today because Brother Houyi just came to me and said he wanted to collect various minerals."

After the patriarch finished speaking, he asked the priest to arrange the personnel.

"Brother Houyi, wait a moment. I will immediately ask someone to take you to find various materials." said the patriarch.

Hou Yi nodded and said, "Please trouble the clan leader."

Soon after, hundreds of warriors led Hou Yi towards the mine.

Passing through the forest deep in the tribe.

Suddenly, several cold eyes stared at Houyi with murderous intent.

Hou Yi noticed it, turned around and looked back, his expression changed slightly: "Such a strong evil spirit, did I meet a ghost?"

The warriors beside Houyi all became alert.

In the afternoon, two black mists floated in, rushed into the crowd in an instant, and attacked Houyi and others with bared fangs and claws.

"Protect the clan leader and Brother Houyi." The warriors roared and waved their weapons to block the black fog.

The warrior roared in pain.

At the critical moment, the priest used his mysterious power to repel the black fog and force out the ghosts hidden in the black fog.

"Brother Houyi, are you okay?" the priest asked nervously.

Hou Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

"Who are these guys? How did they sneak in?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around at the bushes, but found nothing.

Suddenly, a terrifying roar was heard in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw dense swarms of insects swarming in from a distance, covering the entire sky and blocking their view.

"Damn, these are flesh-eating bugs," the warriors said angrily.

"How could carnivorous insects appear in the depths of Kunlun Mountain?" Houyi asked in surprise.

The priest groaned and said, "There are indeed carnivorous insects deep in the Kunlun Mountains. It is said that at this time of year, carnivorous insects from the Kunlun Mountains will appear nearby."

"The clan leader has arranged people to drive away the carnivorous insects." said the priest.

As soon as the words fell, another fierce roar was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dozen giant pythons rushing towards them, their bloody mouths looking ferocious and terrifying.

"Run."

Seeing these huge and ferocious pythons, the warriors fled in panic.

The giant python was extremely fast. It caught up with the fleeing warrior in the blink of an eye and opened its bloody mouth to bite the warrior.

"Help, help." The warriors were bitten to death.

Houyi and others took advantage of the situation to escape, and finally stopped at the edge of the forest.

At this time, Houyi and others were in dishevel and looked miserable.

"Chief, what's going on? How come there are so many carnivorous insects? And more than a dozen giant pythons." The warriors said in astonishment.

The clan leader said in a deep voice: "According to our records, carnivorous insects appear in the spring and not in the winter, so someone must be controlling them."

“Who is controlling the flesh-eating bugs?”

"Could they be from a certain tribe?" someone asked.

“I don’t know, maybe.” The clan leader said, “During this period of time, you guys should keep your voices down and don’t provoke those guys, otherwise we will be in danger.”

Everyone nodded.

In the next few days, Houyi stayed in the tribe. In addition to practicing alchemy every day, he studied the Kunlun Divine Book, hoping to master its mysteries and improve his alchemy skills.

The Kunlun Divine Book is profound and extensive. It takes a lot of time and energy to comprehend what is inside.

"call--"

Late at night, Houyi exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It seems that mastering the alchemy technique is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time."

Houyi shook his head.

Then, he took out the Kunlun Divine Book and planned to continue studying it.

Just then, Houyi heard a noise outside.

"Could it be that the tribe was attacked by a tide of beasts?" Houyi murmured.

Houyi pushed the door open and walked in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon Houyi saw that the tribe leader, along with the priests and others, were fighting against a tide of beasts, and the situation was very critical.

"The clan leader and his men seem unable to resist. What should we do?" Houyi asked worriedly.

Hou Yi had participated in battles before and knew how powerful the beast tide was.

When the beast tide comes, the tribe must unite around the leader to fight the enemy together.

If they act alone, the worst outcome is the loss of their lives, or the entire army being wiped out.

Even if they managed to survive, the tribe would suffer heavy losses and its strength would be weakened.

Houyi didn't want to see such a situation.

After all, Houyi is a member of the tribe and he has the responsibility to protect the tribe.

"Brother Houyi, why are you here?"

Hou Yi came out and immediately attracted attention. The tribe leader hurriedly went up to him and said, "You haven't recovered yet. Go back to your room and rest."

Hou Yi shook his head and refused, "My body is fine now, but why would you, Chieftain, go head-on into the beast tide?"

"Alas, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but our tribe has run out of food. If we don't pick spiritual herbs to replenish our energy, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until next spring."

"The only solution now is to pick spiritual herbs to replenish our energy." The patriarch sighed helplessly.

Spiritual medicine, as the name suggests, contains rich spiritual power. It is a tonic for ordinary mortals and even monsters.

Hou Yi frowned and said, "The areas where the spiritual medicine grows are all deep in the mountains and old forests. It is easy for wild animals to occupy them. If we go there rashly, I am afraid it will be dangerous."

The chief said bitterly: "There is nothing we can do. Our tribe is too poor and we dare not take risks."

"Brother Houyi, don't worry. I have sent people to look for the elixir." The priest said with a smile.

The priest is the wise man of the tribe, so the chief naturally believes what he says.

Hou Yi said: "In that case, then I'll trouble you, Chief. I can't help you, so I will stay and accompany you."

"Haha, brother Houyi is willing to stay, of course I'd love to have you here." The clan leader said with a pleased smile.

Hou Yi is very powerful. If he can help the tribe, it will undoubtedly increase the tribe's chances of winning.

"To fight against the beast tide, we must rely on the tribesmen to gather together. I will call the tribesmen now." After saying this, the tribe leader was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Patriarch."

At this moment, Hou Yi suddenly called him. (End of this chapter)
