The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 394 Integrating Power
Ergou threw away the blood disciple who had been smashed into mud, then took a deep breath, turned over the pile of corpses, and took the Phoenix Scepter from one of the corpses.

Ergou's previous tired appearance was naturally a false illusion. With the talent of [Surging Power Engine], Ergou would not feel truly tired until all the energy in his body was exhausted.

His purpose in doing this was simple, which was to show weakness to the enemy.

It should be understood that the followers of the Lord of Blood are the most terrifying war maniacs in the world, and they have strong backing.

Of course, Ergou was not afraid of offending the evil followers of the Lord of Blood. The demon-suppressing people have always taken it as their responsibility to kill demons and eliminate evil, so how could they be afraid?

The main ones are evil spirits, lust, and immense power. Dealing with them requires methods and strategies.

Take the group of war bloods that Ergou just killed for example.

These guys are not weak. Even the worst one, if he gets to the territory of the Song Dynasty, will be a top-level fighter, almost equivalent to the Arhat of the Daxiangguo Temple. The most powerful war blood disciple is even better than Gao Gongji back then.

If they rushed forward all at once, even if they were three Ergou together, they would inevitably be chopped into meat paste by this group of evildoers.

The war blood followers prefer single combat duels, but that doesn't mean they don't have the means to gang up on others. In fact, when it comes to fighting, the followers of the Lord of Blood are the best among all the evil demons.

Moreover, the War Blood Cultists only play duels to please the Lord of Blood, not because they are truly virtuous and artistic, and have unparalleled moral integrity. Who would believe in evil gods if they were truly unparalleled in moral integrity?

The blood followers will only challenge opponents they have a chance of defeating. If it is an opponent that they cannot defeat, these followers of the Lord of Blood will not hesitate to use human wave tactics to overwhelm the opponent.

This is also one of the reasons why Ergou deliberately showed weakness.

There is another taboo when dealing with the followers of the Lord of Blood, and that is not to let these war blood followers feel fear and cowardice.

Master Lu once said: When traveling in the arena, beware of those bad guys with backers, because beating the younger ones will attract the older ones.

Warbloods have no fear of death, for death to them is but a return journey into the Warp.

They fear those who are stronger, and those who are beyond their power.

Once the followers of the Lord of Blood feel fear, they will attract the special attention of the Lord of Blood.

Like Ergou's performance throughout the bloody duel, although he showed overwhelming combat power at the beginning, he was not invincible against the blood disciples who had obvious numerical advantage.

It is precisely because of this kind of confidence that the blood disciples are not too worried about Ergou.

Of course, if Ergou was so powerful from the beginning to the end, when the number of casualties among the blood disciples reached a certain level, and if they lost more manpower and were unable to surround and kill Ergou, they would definitely turn against them and directly surround and kill Ergou.

At this time, Ergou naturally showed some weakness, making the war blood disciples think that they still had more advantages.

I have to say that Ergou's acting skills are really good. Even before dealing with the last war blood gangster, these blood gangsters didn't find any problems with him. They just thought that this guy's martial arts luck was incredibly good.

The last bloodthirsty criminal who was slaughtered was the button that Ergou deliberately left behind.

It is certain that the unlucky guy who finally discovered the truth was frightened, but he alone would not attract too much attention from the Lord of Blood.

Just when Ergou killed and beheaded the last War Blood Cultist, in an ice maple forest dozens of miles away from this valley, a team of War Blood Cultists of similar size to the War Blood Cult group destroyed by Ergou was cleaning up the ruins of a burning village.

Of course, their so-called "cleaning" was just to chop off the heads of all the corpses here, and then pile them up into a blasphemous altar belonging exclusively to the Lord of Blood, and to torture the living captives inhumanely.

The leading war blood bandit was a bloody warrior riding a huge bronze bull. Just as he jumped off the bull's back and was about to chop off the head of a still struggling savage, he suddenly sensed an inexplicable muttering in his mind.

The bronze bull warrior was stunned for a moment. After carefully savoring the meaning of the whisper, he resolutely gave up the spoils at his feet, jumped onto the huge bronze bull and shouted loudly: "Boys! The carnival is over! The great Lord of Blood has sent down an oracle! There is a prey of the Lord of Blood waiting for us to hunt six six kilometers away!"

Most of the war blood followers reluctantly abandoned their spoils, packed up their weapons and supplies, and prepared to follow their leader to participate in the Blood Lord's hunting oracle.

There were also a few greedy guys who refused to give up "enjoying" the spoils, and then they were beheaded by the angry bronze bull warriors.

Soon, this group of blood disciples left the ruins behind and set out on a hunting journey with great momentum.

But after Ergou killed all the war blood bandits, he released all the prisoners in the cages.

There are eleven cages in total, and originally there was a Savage Celestial Being in each cage, but four of them had been killed by the War Bloods, and one was severely injured and unconscious, and that was the one who was imprisoned with Ergou.

So there were only six barbarians left. When they were released, they all knelt down in front of Ergou and sang to him in some unique aria.

It’s a pity that Ergou couldn’t understand what the other party was saying because he didn’t know their language. It was not until he used his psychic power that he understood their intentions and realized that they were worshiping him.

Psychic power can only allow Ergou to read the other party's mind, but cannot enable the two parties to communicate.

It was not until one of the female savage celestial beings took out Ergou's lost helmet from the pile of gray-haired little people and put it on Ergou that Ergou gained the ability to communicate with the celestial beings without hindrance.

"Praise you! Great Asuryan! You sent the invincible sky messenger to save us! So brave! So wise! The cruel demons are as fragile as farts in front of the God-given heroes!..."

The female savage sang to Ergou, and the meaning of the lyrics really made Ergou feel ashamed.

The so-called barbaric celestials are actually the descendants of the Eldari who have lost their civilizational heritage. They call themselves the noble Asuryan elves, or High Elves for short.

Asuryan was the seat of the highest authority of the Eredari civilization during its heyday.

Of course, due to the natural longevity of the Eldari people, these Eldari survivors are not without impression of their former glory, but they interpret the history of the Eldari as a real myth.

For example, in the history of the Eldari, there were fights between several powerful and prominent Eldari families, but the high elves interpreted it as jealousy between the god of war Cain (whose real identity was a military aristocrat), the god of forging Val (actually a large industrial capitalist family), and the goddess of harvest, life and fertility Isha (actually an academic clique in charge of the medical system).

In the cognition of the high elves of Yujianxing, the gods reside high in the heavens. When they send messengers to the mortal world, the standard attire of the messengers is the spiritual bone armor that Ergou is wearing.

This is also the reason why Ergou was able to be kept alive in the cage when he temporarily lost consciousness.

The spirit bone armor worn by Ergou gave him great convenience. At least the high elves were willing to obey his orders.

Before parachuting into Yujian Star, Ergou had already investigated the surface of Yujian Star as much as possible, thanks to the planetary exploration system of the Blue Pearl. Although there was no overly detailed intelligence, at least Ergou had memorized the topographic map of Yujian Star in his mind.

By questioning the high elves, Ergou learned a little more about the situation on Yujian Star. To describe the situation on Yujian Star, there is only one word to describe it.

chaos!
There is no order, no stability, no peace.

Fighting and killing are the only main themes on this land of ice and snow.

Of course, it’s not that there aren’t some high elves or aliens who want to establish order, but the most powerful force on this land - the war bloods - don’t think so.

Any intelligent community that has achieved some stability will be devastated by the war blood bandits at some unknown moment.

The only bottom-level producers on this land are the gray-haired little people. Any ethnic group that wants to obtain food and minerals cannot do without these modified creatures called sea otters (fishermen) or mole people (miners).

But the gray-haired little man only knows how to obey the orders of the high elves.

Thus, the high elves became the luckiest and most tragic race in the entire Yujian Star.

The high elves do not need to worry about production issues, because the gray-haired little people will solve everything for them, the sea otters provide the high elves with indispensable food, and the mole people provide them with precious minerals.

If other races want to survive, they need to find a group of high-elfs to plunder (provided they can win) so that they can obtain the supplies that are essential to them.

The more far-sighted alien races even know how to imprison the high elves in order to obtain supplies more efficiently.

The ones who imprisoned Ergou and this group of high elves were a group of ice and snow aliens, a group of fugitives from the depths of the starry sea.

These aliens are extremely skilled at fighting in the snow and are natural ice mages.

Their favorite thing to do is to capture some innocent high elves and imprison them, and then exploit supplies from the gray-haired little people who desperately pay tribute to protect their high elf masters.

By the way, the cages that hold the high elves cannot hold the gray-haired little man. Due to its small size, it can move in and out freely through the sparse gaps.

However, the original owner of this valley, the ice and snow aliens who imprisoned Ergou and a group of high-level elites, were slaughtered not long ago by the war blood disciples who were naturally able to restrain them.

In this way, Ergou and the high elves gained freedom.

However, this fate of freedom will not linger on them for too long. Not to mention the war blood buttons that Ergou specially reserved, new war bloods will most likely attack again.

The countless corpses and blood in the valley alone will attract endless cunning scavengers and opportunistic hunters.

Ergou had a rather awkward conversation with the high elves for a while, mainly because these high elves would recite an aria-like hymn whenever they saw the so-called "sky messenger" Ergou. This inefficient conversation was simply an unbearable mental torture for Ergou.

Fortunately, Ergou was a natural commander here. After an almost ineffective conversation, he stopped talking and directly ordered the high-elfs who were able to act normally to clean up the battlefield and collect necessary supplies.

As for himself, he came to the seriously injured and unconscious Gao Jing.

This is also a female descendant of the Eldari. Compared to the serious celestial beings, this high elf is taller, has rougher skin, and her more three-dimensional facial features give her an inexplicable wild temperament.

The clothing of the high elves is made of wild beast fur mixed with the hair of gray-haired little people. It is quite warm, but the appearance is not very pleasing to the eye, like a beggar's ghillie suit.

Ergou examined her and concluded that the poor high spirit was unconscious because she had suffered an inexplicable heavy blow to the head.

Er Gou had no good way to treat this kind of trauma, he could only try to use psychic power to awaken the other person's consciousness.

This trick really worked, and the female elf soon woke up.

However, after waking up, the female elf also showed some sequelae of head trauma - amnesia.

She forgot her past, but regarded the first person she saw after waking up - Ergou, as her own relative.

So Ergou got a little follower with a body like a Valkyrie and a mind like a child.

Behind this little follower, there is also a group of even smaller followers - gray-haired little men.

Even though they are born with little gray-haired people serving and following them, the high elves still cherish any materials that are beneficial to their survival, because the natural environment on Yujian Star is really harsh and material scarcity is the norm for all living things.

The high elves collected the contracted weapons and protective gear, while the gray-haired little people (let's call them goblins) looted all edible food and warm clothes.

Then Ergou took them out of the valley.

With the help of the information provided by the high elves, Ergou roughly determined the geographical location of Yujian Star where he was. His first destination was the landmark place in the area - the Ice Crown Tree.

Of course, before that, Ergou needs to find the lost positioning beacon first, otherwise he will not be able to get the support of the Fourth Lady in time, let alone return to the [Blue Pearl].

A humble goblin provides useful information on the whereabouts of the locator beacon.

Before the arrival of the War Bloods, an ice demon (a male among the ice aliens) left the valley with something that looked like a positioning beacon and his whereabouts were unknown.

Of course, this "whereabouts unknown" does not exist for Ergou. The built-in function of the Spirit Bone Armor can simply detect the approximate location of the positioning beacon.

Interestingly, the approximate direction of the positioning beacon provided by the Spirit Bone Armor overlaps with the location of the Icecrown Tree.

Ergou led the high elves to trek across the snowfield. The thick snow greatly affected their moving speed. What was more deadly was that the snowfield was not without danger.

Many opportunistic hunters are hiding deep in the snow that is more than half a person's thickness. These predators will not attack the high elves, but the goblins are their most common targets.

When Ergou realized that the goblins were being hunted, at least ten of them had already disappeared into the deep snow.

Ergou was very angry about being taken advantage of during the journey. He immediately ordered the high elves to drive away or even kill all the predators around the route.

However, there is a prerequisite for achieving all this, that is, Ergou can help the high elves find the target in advance.

Fortunately, the close-range biological detection capability of the spirit bone armor is quite powerful, making it almost impossible for predators hiding under the snow to escape.
