Chapter 531 Barbarian Village
If it was the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, it would be a bit troublesome, because there were many magic arrays set up in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts at this time. If I force my way in, I'm afraid I'll alert the high-level cultivators!

Gu Shiyi's brows tightened, and just as he saw the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain approaching, the fox pointed again.
"there……"

The direction she pointed to was the large forest behind the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. It was the territory of the barbarians. Gu Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and flew to the vicinity of the forest. The fox could no longer smell the scent of the spiritual herbs. This time it was the king's turn to take over. The fair and tender child closed his eyes tightly in Gu Shiyi's arms, and his fair and tender hands made a spell. After a while, he stretched out his hand.

"there……"

Gu Shiyi determined the direction and plunged into the vast dense forest. The barbarian territory was full of primitive and wild forests, with towering trees connected to each other. The lush treetops blocked the sky, and the forest below was very dark during the day. It was already dark at this time, and the originally dark forest was pitch dark. After Gu Shiyi entered the forest, a demonic aura spread out, and countless pairs of eyes, green, red or yellow in the darkness, were startled, and they poked their heads out and looked vigilantly in the direction of Gu Shiyi.

After entering the forest, Gu Shiyi slowed down. She slowly descended into the forest. There was no one around. She released her demon sense and scanned the area within a radius of five miles, but found nothing.
"There's no one around here!"

As he spoke, he put the king down from his arms. As soon as the king landed on the ground, he sank into the ground. After a while, he crawled out of the ground again, pointed his little hand to the north,
"there……"

After saying that, he went back into the soil. Gu Shiyi's demon sense scanned him and saw him moving quickly underground. He immediately chased him with the fox. They ran another ten miles. This place was completely the territory of the barbarians. The king came out of the soil again and pointed to the small hill in front of him and said,

"It's there!"

Gu Shiyi released his demon consciousness, but before it could travel more than two miles, it suddenly crashed into a barrier.

"what……"

Gu Shiyi was startled, and before she could react, she felt a pain in her head and sea of ​​consciousness, as if she was bitten by an ant. The pain was not very painful, but Gu Shiyi was very surprised. She walked mostly in human territory and rarely used her demon consciousness. But she had learned from Yan'er how to enhance her demon consciousness. Moreover, she was a true spirit, and her body was as strong as her demon consciousness. This was the first time her sea of ​​consciousness was injured by someone, which made her feel fresh and surprised.
"What's that over there?"

Could it be that some high-level monk was there, but... she didn't sense any breath or spiritual power fluctuations?
Gu Shiyi could not resist his curiosity, so he sneaked over with the fox and the king. He saw a small barbarian village hidden in the tall jungle. The whole village was made of trees as beams, and the walls were made of mud and bamboo strips. There were more than a dozen houses, one next to the other, with the same style, looking very neat.

"A barbarian village. How could such a small village have high-level monks?"

Although the barbarians living along the border are savages and many of them can speak the language of the Central Plains people, entering their territory so brazenly is bound to arouse their dissatisfaction. Besides, there are masters in their village, so you don't want to get into a fight for no reason without getting your things back!
Gu Shiyi would never do such a stupid thing!

So Gu Shiyi sent out the king first,

"Can you go in and see what's going on?"

The king nodded and plunged into the ground, but came back after a while.

"Gu Shiyi, that won't work. I don't know what kind of restrictions they have put in that place. I can't get in!"

"Is there any restriction in the ground?"

Gu Shiyi frowned and looked at the fox again. The fox nodded, swung its tail and disappeared into the jungle. About half an hour later, the fox came back.

"There are only about 17 or 18 households in the village, and I didn't see any powerful people. But I saw a stone pillar in the open space in the middle of the village. It was engraved with runes. I looked at it for a long time and felt scared. I wondered if there was something strange about it."

"No powerful people?"

Gu Shiyi stroked his chin with his hand, frowned and thought.

"Did you see clearly?"

The fox nodded.
"I saw clearly that the men, women and children in the village are all ordinary people, and no one knows magic!"

Gu Shiyi nodded, "If that's the case, then I'll go in and take a look!"

At this time, it was already midnight. In the small village, all the houses had turned off the lights. When Gu Shiyi entered, it was the village dogs who noticed it first. They barked a few times, and were suppressed by the evil spirit emanating from Gu Shiyi. They shrank back into the doghouse and dared not come out with their tails between their legs. Gu Shiyi first went to the open field in the village and saw that there was indeed a stone pillar standing there as the fox had said. It was no more than two meters high and the size of a millstone. It was engraved with strange monster-like runes. Gu Shiyi remembered the records in the book.

"It is said that the barbarian tribes believe in witch gods, and villages of all sizes offer sacrifices to them. Could this be the witch god they worship?"

After thinking for a while, he reached out and touched it.

"Hiss..."

As soon as she put her hand on the stone pillar, she felt a pricking sensation on her fingers.

"It really is it!"

Gu Shiyi heaved a sigh of relief.

"I thought there was some high-ranking monk in this village, but I didn't expect there was only a pillar!"

I think this stone pillar standing here should have the same function as the human cultivators' magic array, but the human magic array uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but there is no spiritual energy fluctuation on this stone pillar. I don't know what method it uses.
But she also abided by the rules of the underworld. Once she entered someone else's territory, she had to be polite. She immediately clasped her fists towards the stone pillar and said,
"My Lord Wu, I am a cultivator from the Central Plains demon tribe. I entered the village to look for the three stolen spiritual herbs. If I find them, I will turn around and leave. I will never harm the people under your jurisdiction!"

After that, regardless of whether the pillar understood or not, he took the fox and the king to search the village. The village was not big, so it didn't take much effort. The king only looked at a few houses, then stretched out his little white finger, pointed at one of the houses and said,

"Here, our spiritual herbs are here!"

Gu Shiyi looked at the tightly closed door. Through the low fence and small courtyard wall, he could see a dim yellow light coming through the window facing outward. It was unknown what the barbarians used to cover the windows. It looked like it was made of animal skins, thick and opaque. Gu Shiyi couldn't see how many people were inside, but he could hear the breathing of three people. One of them was talking. Gu Shiyi listened carefully and found that they were talking in the barbarian language. Gu Shiyi glanced at the fox. The fox understood and jumped lightly into the yard. After a quick look, it crawled into the wide gap under the main door. After a while, it came out and said,

"Gu Shiyi, I saw our three spiritual herbs, which were placed on the table. There were three people, a man, a woman and a boy. The boy looked very excited, pointing at the spiritual herbs and gesturing, as if he was talking about this!"

Gu Shiyi snorted coldly after hearing this.
"Most likely he stole something and came back to show off to the adults at home!"

Gu Shiyi didn't want to make too much noise, so he said to the fox,

"Use a magic spell, and while they are in chaos, go get the spiritual herbs back!"

The two obeyed, and the fox led the king through the crack of the door below, leaving Gu Shiyi wondering in his heart,

"Even if he is just an ordinary person, how did that kid destroy my magic circle and take away the spiritual herbs!"

Gu Shiyi was a little confused, but when he raised his hand, he saw a gust of evil wind blowing, and the animal skin on the window of that family trembled. The corner that was not glued was blown up, revealing the situation inside the house. There was indeed a man and a woman in the house. The man was not tall, but very strong. His hair and beard were a mess. He was only wearing a pair of coarse cloth shorts, and his exposed upper body was muscular. The woman was the same, not tall, short and stocky, with a round face. There was a boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a similar build to the couple, but with short hair and only a pair of shorts. He was pinching the spiritual herbs on the table and talking to the couple in gibberish. The three of them were startled by the evil wind outside and turned to look towards the window, but looking through the broken hole, there was no one in the yard.

The man approached the window cautiously and looked outside. Gu Shiyi was standing outside the yard, hiding his figure, just looking at him. The man sniffed, as if he smelled something. He retracted his head, turned around and said something inside.

The three of them all had puzzled looks on their faces. The boy lowered his head to look at his chest, where a wooden statue was hung with a hemp rope. There were many tiny runes engraved on it. It looked like a smaller version of a stone pillar. Gu Shiyi frowned. At this moment, the fox and the king who had entered the house started to fight. The warm yellow flame of the oil lamp on the table suddenly flashed, and then turned into a dark green. The three were attracted by the flashing light and looked at the table together. They saw that the three of them had their eyes fixed and their bodies were frozen there. It seemed that the three of them had fallen into the fox's illusion.

Gu Shiyi saw the king appear beside the table. He stretched out his tender little white hand and grabbed three spiritual herbs.
"Got it!"

Gu Shiyi was thinking about whether he should teach this kid who stole the spiritual herbs a lesson, but he didn't expect that the statue on the kid's chest suddenly flashed green light. At the same time, the kid shuddered, his eyes regained clarity, and he actually broke free from the illusion...
